I doubt Fender will mind, still a Fender guitar just not made in the USA. Don't tell the Donald though.
+1 You will hear no objections to Squier VM instruments from me.
The fact of the matter is that the F word will attract more Interweb hits and tags than the S word. It's only business.
Whenever I see "Squier by Fender", I think why mention Fender?
Whenever I see "Fender Squier", I think untrustworthy.
Whenever I see "Fender Squire", I think donut!
Whenever I see "Fender Squier series", I think why did they do that?
Squier is a distinct brand in its own right.
My Fender search on ebay is "Fender -(Squier,Squire)".
If you are advertising an older Squier (such as a JV or the slightly later SQ) then the use of Squier by Fender is actually correct. The branding (as stated on the headstock) was exactly that. In fact the *very* first Squiers were Fender Squiers - the Fender logo was large and the Squier logo was smaller on the headstock.
Modern stuff - yes, the Squier brand is stand alone. However, the early stuff was Squier by Fender.

I of course told him it is but then I saw it and it's a "starcaster" and very low end. Confusing that they've branded it fender and not Squier.
I learned from an Andertons video the other day that Gibson have the same thing available in Argos etc. and is branded Gibson but very low end.
Not sure why they do this. In a way it makes me think about the whole branding thing (for companies who essentially split their range over multiple brands).
