It's actually insane how good value for money entry level guitars are now.
Not even close to best buy though. Tagima T635. Full size alder body, bone nut, 2 point Wilkinson trem, split post tuners, cutaway neck for higher frets, alnico pickups, rosewood or maple fretboard. Wait for it...199 bucks (or cheaper, some are price gouging.) There is a reason they are not being pushed very hard here on pootube...and it's because of fender squier. The 530 model or Woodstock series rocks as well, but with 6 point trem, and regular tuners. Newer ones also have the cutaway. Tons of great reviews, mostly in Portuguese. Take my word for it, I rubbed my dick across the strings of three of them at the guitar store...they sounded great!
@@grinningintheirface2685 Tagima are from Brazil the cheap ones are made in Indonesia. Tagima is a Brazillian company so Portuguese not Spanish
@@oldgoattheantichrist3468 Sorry, I meant they speak brown...and the cheap ones are made in china.
:)
Agreed but sadly high end guitars cost more than ever.
Controversial statement: the Classic Vibes are the MIJs of our time.
Depends - my 1987 MIJ Squier is nice, but nowhere near as good as the early 80s JV Squiers that are, to all intents and purposes, better than the late 1970s MIA strats. My guitar has also aged quite badly in terms of rust and fret wear. They were good, but not that good. And yes, they were better than any modern Squier guitar, Classic Vibe, whatever. Probably on a par quality-wise with the modern MIM Fender strats.
The indo CVs were nerfed. Still awesome, but not as awesome as the Chinese ones.
I've owned a CV and a JV, the CV's are way better. The most overrated guitar ever is the JV, in my opinion of course.
@@phildale8451 Ive always had the same impression, big hype over what is essentially the same guitar as any later MIJ or maybe even worse. Could you tell us more about it?
@@rafaelzengo5534 I bought one in 1982 brand new, it was based on a 62 model. There was a sticker on the body saying pickups made in USA. They were the worst sounding strat pickups I've ever heard, extremely bright and shrill. It was very difficult to intonate it and the tuners were poor. The tremolo was a no go area as it just wouldn't return to tune even with very light use. The one good thing was the neck which was really nice. Todays classic vibes are way better guitars with much better pickups and parts. The prices I see JV's going for today baffle me. It's a total myth about how good they were.
*LOOKS AT SQUIER ACROSS THE ROOM*
Me: "Why can't YOU sound like that?!"
Squier: "Probably because you SUCK."
😞
If it's not a CV squier it probably can't sound like that lol
To be fair, it is hard for a cat to play the guitar.
LMFAO PLSSS
Its them alnico pickups
Alnico pickups
Squiers have always seemed to do me just well in performance, and I have played and own my fair share of them. They do have an authentic sound to them, especially for Blues! Cheers
More authentic than a gibson
And guess what! Fender gives them the same headstock as on their strats!
Changed the pots and capacitor on mine as it is by far my best sounding and playing guitar. I will always be nostalgic of my USA tele but the Squire plays the shit out of it.
@@void0094 ha ha ha now that is gold
@@TheRealCowlick Really? : O
I just had one of these 50s Strats in Fiesta Red delivered today. Quarter turn of the trus rod was all it needed out of the box. The intonation was surprisingly good, and It's so much fun to play. Plus the damn thing just sounds fantastic. Rob is always an amazing player, but Lee is the one who sold me on this guitar.
I was a teenager in the 1960's and was lucky enough to see Hendrix, The Doors, The Who and The Byrds, just to name a few of many many more and at affordable prices and crowds that enabled you to actually see the bands!
...and you could see the bands because everyone and his dog wasn't holding up a frikkin' mobile phone to record the gig...
@@ThePedroDB They would've had they existed. And I feel like you haven't actually been to a concert these days? That doesn't happen that much
Huge difference from then to now sadly...those musicians played live to promote album sales and album sales profits as well....radio play was crucial too to push album sales. Now.....if you can’t tour as a pro musician, you can’t make ANY money.
Rory as well?
ok boomer.
Really pleased I chose one of these (70's) when I decided to have another go at learning after a 40 year break!
I have squier classic vibe 50s Strat. Really great guitar. Learned everything on it
The sound when you two play together is brilliant!
I hate those Pau Fero fretboards
Is it just me or has The Captain really improved on guitar?
He really has improved quite a bit!
Not just you at all. Compared to the earlier Andertons videos he’s massively improved.
Had a load of lessons from Justin and Pete, but I think it's really his magic bangle.
It's just you.
Everyone says this on every video they upload. But yes. You are correct.
London, late 60s: Eric Clapton, Cream, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, King Crimson... God, I'll be forever grateful to UK for this...
I had many fender American instruments in my life, sometimes very expensive and now, the ones I use the most are Squier models made in Indonesia: terrific. Unbelievable guitars for the price.
As someone in the States, is fun to hear Rob & The Captain reminisce about the most British sounding snacks ever.
AS someone born in the mid 1950's and grew up in the 1960's I gotta tell you, it is NOT what you imagine. The country was still suffering after W2. Bomb sites everywhere. Difficult to get anywhere. NO overseas travel. Steam trains. No bathrooms, no central heating, no fridges ( I am talking about the UK), no phones and probably no TV. Most of us did with radio. Cars were a joke, wages were crap and pollution was horrific. You had to shop regularly because of no refrigeration. Food poisoning was common. Make the fire up every morning. No hot water. Washing machines were crap. No electric anything really except lights. Washing clothes was a pain, especially in the winter. Terry nappies. Oh and there was the ongoing war. WW2 never ended, it cared on in the far and middle east. For those who did not live it, the aesthetic might seem OK looking back. I don't remember it that way. The sixties were no beer, and the 70's hardly so either.
Yeah I could make a similar list for now days. For instance.. how is it we have all this information and knowledge at our fingertips yet it appears the world is full of dumbasses.
Im thinking this was in reference to Rob wanting to live and experience the fifties? We have it good now, but if the power grid went bye byes...its going to be hard for people to survive isnt it?
@@mjr2470 It'd certainly be those with firearms living longer than those with money.
ok boomer
Luxury. There were 150 of us livin' in't box in't middle o' t'road.
i have owned a squire classic 70's headstock vibe strat for about 10 years.... it is more than a person like myself needs... im an amateur on the sofa learning you tube riffs, thats enough for me..im never joining a band... my guitar enthusiast friends have played it and really liked it.. thats proof for me... the only upgrade i did was fit a fender logo on the headstock... it sounds much better now..
No need mate great guitars
Did you buy a whole new fender neck?
@@Nyroc3 just a £3 sticker off ebay... i actually changed it back to squier because it fooling nobody ...lol
@@pmay222 respect. you could also change to a fender neck. it may even improve sound quality
@@Nyroc3 i need fender fingers...lol
All the chatter in the beginning was fun and added to the video. Love it! I'm a huge Squier fan. They are really hitting the nail on the head, especially Indonesia-made versions, great guitars!
It's just randomly turned out that I have exactly Rob's combo - 70's classic vibe + Katana mk2. I already was happy with my choice, but now I'm really kinda proud of myself for being noob but choosing some good stuff at the same time. I guess you could never go wrong with vintage-ish strat
Just got myself a squier CV 60's and it's amazing. Fantastic value guitar
I bought the white tortoise shell 70s strat (previous edition) being shown, it's great. Plays great, sounds great and looks great.
Looking to get that one to,I have a three tone sunburst,with a tortoise pick guard,sexy as hell.
Looking fw to my CV man.
One plus,all Fender stuff fits CV nowadays.
Looking to switch trem block for a steel one, that's it!
Pringles are my favorite crisps here in Maine, USA. Always loved Squier guitars for obvious reasons.
Good call on Frazzles!! Love Squier CV series, great quality on every level 👌
I have two Strat CV's and they are never far from me. A 2016 50's all original and a 60's with real dark rosewood fretboard but replaced the bridge and the pickups for the Fender's Vintage '57 & "62 set of pu's. Sounds amazing!
Wow! That is what I was thinking to do with my classic vibe 60 strat, those pickups are insane dude!
Sweeeet and tasty opening jam! Enjoyed the short tangent walks through the halls of nostalgia as well. Oh! The guitars are (really!) cool too.
I thought I was old until you guys started talking about crisps I’ve never heard of...thanks guys!
Killin it Captain! Getting so much better lately
OMG the tone is incredible on these!!!!! And they look damn gorgeous
Just bought a Squier standard. Love it! These guys are great together! Very entertaining.
I have 3 of those and I also have 3 CV ( 50s/60s/70s ) and the Standard is better.
The Squire standard is the hidden gem in the whole range. I had a JV squire for years and the standard blows it away.
I was even able to float the Bridge which most people say is impossible on any Fender product. Not impossible but a bit time consuming setup. Thanks to Darrell Braun Guitar UA-cam channel for showing me how.
I completely forgot about the existence of Ringos. Now I want them back.
And the ones with the salt satchet were Salt N Shake.
I got last years 50s classic vibe Strat and it is a lot of guitar for the money. I actually like 9-42 strings on it, but agree the original strings are pretty cheap. Get some good strings and it helps bring the guitar to life.
I just had throat surgery yesterday and it hurts to laugh... So this is pleasure spiked with pain...
I got a 70’ hss and i love it, the sound and the maple neck looks and feel like a $700 guitar
My Squier 50's CV 2 tone sunburst is a maple neck and a alder body, are these a new pine body line of CV? I bought mine 2 years ago
Upgrade it this year with a a full set of a Callaham bridge and a TusQ Graph Tech nut and now it's a infinite sustain guitar, very resonant and now sounds acoustically loud with a ton of harmonics and is overall better than when it was stock
Yeah, I like Squier, and actually I like Epiphone too. Good low to mid level guitars that, in many cases, perform close and sometimes equal to the big boys.
I was born in 1956, enjoyed the Beatles coming to the States, Santana’s arrival, The Beach Boys, The Doobie Brothers, and so many more… the best time to have lived through. BTW, I also went through the Berlin wall, guns/guards and all… saw the price of freedom and Black & White TV changed to color… the invention of the PC and the cell phone… it’s been quite the rude so far.
Can I ask, does Lee think an HSS Strat is less of a Strat than the SSS? If you could only buy one etc. Thanks.
This is pure vintage paradise!! 60's for me!
So they come again in these fancy 50s colours. Fantastic guitars; I own three of them, every one is great. I play them without any modification
Does anyone know why they changed the pick ups?
I wanted to get a 50s becaus they used to be AlNiCo II and I already have a 60s
Wow I wish we had one of these to learn on in the 60s
3:42 you know Cap is speaking the truth when he makes this face right here.
He’s got no cap.
With a title like that you should do a blindfold test comparison with a real vintage strat
You can easily feel the difference. I mean the fret edges alone give away a budget guitar.
@@brandonanderson2066 Fret edges on CVs are absolutely fine.
@ I bet they are but the fret treatment is unmistakable on a American strat. What I'm saying is when they do blindfold challenges it's easy to forget how noticable the feel is, they even weigh completely different.
@@brandonanderson2066 weight doesn't really matter when the strats are normal dymensions and similar or same woods. I've had a 91 RI strat that was lighter than a CV i still own and heavier than another CV I've sold. All alder body, maple neck guitars. The fretjob and general neck quality is good on the CVs, only less rolled which coupled with the unmistakable C neck profile will allow you to distinguish them by feel. However, while the RI came to me with a perfect and played in neck the CVs did need some minor tweaking, but nothing outside my own abilities in a little shop. The one I kept now has 6100 stainless Jumbo's so its even better. The major difference being the price, of course CVs are among the best strats you can buy today bang for buck, they do need a bit of TLC but they're a great working guitars modified or stock.
@ I bet they totally rock and are a great deal. But when it comes to blindfold challenges where these guys try to tell the difference it'd be easy to differentiate between a CV and vintage or other American gear.
If someone replaces the squire decal with a fender logo, how would you know it, when buying? These looks close to actual fenders imo.
How would i known it? The feel of it, You havent played enought mate. New Mexican line is upgraded. They are close in the sound but there are differences
@@raphaelsmith4134 are the vinteras still better than the classic vibes?
Yea. They look like a real fender, but they certainly don’t feel or sound like a real fender.
@@RequiemOfSolo By far, im thinking of one. The 50 Teles is really lovely. Pickups are high output Alinco made. You cannot go wrong. For 2020/2021 i am getting Sonic Blue one. Same with Player series, they are outstanding and much much much better than Standard Mex series
When you step back and consider the differences honestly and on a strictly technical level, a Squier, a Mexican Fender, and a American Fender are quite different and in noticeable, identifiable ways. This can range from pickup sound differences to the basic shape of the neck.
The big issue here is that guitarists want to fight over what is "better" based on their own budgets and personal taste rather than simply acknowledge that Squier, MIM Fender, and MIA Fender all serve different markets and each will have features and basic construction that fit into those markets price-point wise. From a strictly technical perspective, the stories you hear online of people buying Squier guitars that are "better than MIA Fenders!" or "just as good!" are not true. There are features, construction techniques, and quality control measures that exist for MIA Fenders that simply don't exist for Squier guitars. This is not inherently a bad thing, it is just the reality of mass producing instruments for specific price points.
This is one of those topics that youtube/the internet has kinda ruined. Talk is cheap. It is easy to sit in front of a camera and say "this Squier is just as good as this more expensive Strat!" because your audience can't really physically pick up those guitars, play them, and even bring their own varying experiences into the equation. Those that have only owned entry level or mid-level guitars are perhaps not going to pick up on differences that those who have owned a wider range of guitars will. It doesn't help that you can also add in different perspectives on the economics of guitars and even the rather silly conspiracy theories that youtube guitar pundits tend to manipulatively perpetuate about the guitar industry. Some folks are going to rally around certain price points based on their own beliefs (and "belief" is the operative word) about how much a guitar "should" cost.
At the end of the day, it isn't really about what is "better" or "as good". It is about understanding that these guitars are made as well as their price point allows. It is a technical fact that a American Strat is going to have more features and different construction/finishing techniques when directly compared to a Squier or even a Mexican Strat. This is not a issue of opinion but one of simply looking at technical specs and how those relate to the playing experience in measurable ways.
Classic Vibe guitars are quite good but I am not sure that "best bang for the buck" really means much in the guitar market when you have such wide differences in what "best bang for the buck" even means. For example. I have owned everything from very cheap entry level guitars to American Deluxe Strats and after all that, I find that a American Standard (now American Professional) is my personal "best bang for the buck" since it offers a guitar you don't really NEED to do anything to. You can mod it but nothing NEEDS to be changed to make it a good, stable, reliable guitar that can give you classic Stratocaster sounds. My view of the "best bang for the buck" may be different from yours and therein lies the problem.
Andertons makes good video content but they are also a guitar retailer and as such, they are going to favor the entry level line-ups because that is where the money is. It is the reason that many guitar stores favor entry level and mid-tier price points and stock fewer more expensive instruments. I am not saying that they are lying in this video. I am just saying that one should consider their perspective when watching these kinds of comparison videos.
Nice Jam!! Sounding great! I just purchased a CV '60s Strat.
I was born in 1946 and growing up in the 1950's was idyllic for me and many of my generation. By 1960 I was 14 and I loved it...and would love to do it over. Just to clarify I am from America.
I couldn't bear to live through my youth again. I was a completely naive moron.
The best time to be a teenager- early twenties is now because we have Andertons TV to binge!
I got the chance to play one of these, I think the 70s model. It looked amazing, but some of its components felt cheap, like the pots, selector switch and so on. It is by no means a bad gutiar, I would definitely get one myself.
If it was a floor model, just remember that they can get touched a lot where some people are jamming them back and forth several times lol
When you guys mentioned Amps and The Captain talked about the Boss Katana 50 MkII, I said to myself hey, I have one of those! I also bought a Yamaha THR5 on the internet and I've been playing it today.
Squier Classic Vibe is the best cost/benefit ever in guitar history.
I had a couple of Classic Vibe Strats about 10 years ago - a 50s and a 60s one. I moved them out to make room for some American Strats, but went back to buy another 60’s Classic Vibe a couple of years ago. It wasn’t the same. I don’t know if they changed or if I changed. I wish I had kept the first ones. Today, I would recommend a G&L Legacy Tribute in this price range over the Classic Vibe or a MIM Strat.
Stratocaster Killing me softly with your tones
the 70's looks absolutely beautiful
Get it. Its amazing
Bone nut too...Also my newly acquired Lake placid has all the same new amenities with still Crafted in China. Which makes me happy. I loved what they produced as my 2015 is a China. I heard they made or make a few still in china.
To see them both together it's like to met old friends.
Fantastic guitars. I like the different choices of wood. Means you can get a resonant guitar with a reasonably light weight, for a great price. All the lighter cuts of Alder and Ash will be reserved for more high end models. Nothing not to like. A great time to be a beginner on the Geetar :-)
The tone you produce with the white Strat is lovely. What amp and effects are you playing through? I’m in the process of buying my first electric after honing some basic skills on my acoustic. The choice is narrowing down to a CV Strat or a Yamaha 311H. I’m thinking either will suit well. Both seem to have a good reputation and have a wide tonal variation however it’s always nice to listen to people’s thoughts and opinions as to which to go for
Just ordered 60s s/burst... only 3 left in australia 👍 thanx for the vid/info
My only beef with the classic vibe series of guitars is the limited colors for the left handed guitars, but it's probably more traditional with the brown sunburst anyway.
I have tried to find the down side of these guitars, but everyone is giving them glowing reviews.
The simple truth is, the 60's classic vibe is the closest to a 60's guitar that I will ever be able to afford. So I ordered one. We shall see.
I have a Squire Classic Vibe 50's Strat in 2-tone Sunburst -- what we used to call 'Tobacco' back in the day, and I love it. It's my 2nd fave Strat -- I have 5 Strats. The Trem on my Squire 50's Strat is one of the most stable Trems' I've seen, it always stays in tune no matter how I have it, it came Floating from the Factory and I've 'decked' it then changed back and no problems -- in Tune and Intonation spot on. And the Fret Work was perfect, not one Fret end even slightly sticking out.
btw, I got my Strat back in 2012 and it was the 2nd Guitar I bought from Sweetwater. I've now bought 3 more Strats and a Les Paul since then from Sweetwater and a couple of Amps -- a Fender & a Vox too, along with accessories, and like always the Customer Service, the Shipping, and all-around help from my Sales Engr (Andy Miller) was 100% PERFECT. In the near future I'll be buying Pedals, a LOT of Pedals. :-)
ps: If I lived in the UK (or the EU) I'd buy all my guitars from Andertons. From what I've seen over the years from these Product Videos, they are IMHO the 'Sweetwater' of Europe. Trust me, that is high praise.
Does anybody know the depth of 60's squire neck at the 1st and 12th fret? Any information is appreciated as I cant find it anywhere online!
At 11:48 When Lee stepped through the switch positions on that white Strat, it was the best example of the different tones each position gets that I think I've seen.
I bought the 70s classic vibe and dont regret it.
Same here, baby boy.
The white one is really beautiful!
vibing out about classic times with the classic vibe guitar
you guys should totally do a rundown with the esp/ltd arrow models... they really did a good job on making the V shape their own.
plus i really need to see the Capt rock out that andromeda finish🤘🤘🤘
Captain, you’re playing in this video is absolutely awesome! Some of the best phrasing I’ve heard you play yet, sir! Kudos.
Adam Pettyjohn one of his solos reminded a bit of mike mcready from Pearl Jam. The Captain sounds great!!
Hello Guyz, someone can say me what is the best quality production years for CV's strato please (not before 1990 lol, i want to buy a good second hand but not too old ) ? Thank you !!
I've had CV teles and they were great. I still have the FSR in gold bronze. Not too many of them around.
I would definitely love to see Chappers in a Leningrad Cowboys Outfit 😁
Oh yes Rob playing some blues :O
So, no differences in the pickups or necks among the 3 models, like in previous versions?
The classic vibe 50's strat has alnico 3 single coils where the 60's and 70's have alnico 5 pickups.
that was before they nerfed the specs in the great CV downgrade of 2019
That is a darn shame. There they go again! They fudge with success and downgrade the quality. Typical jerk offs! Too much quality at too little a price point!
what about a comparison between classic vibe vs fender player?
If I went to the store, would the classic vibe 70s with a maple neck and a humbucker but available to try out and possibly buy?
Q; are these CV Squiers in physical size the same as the Fender Stratocasters with (original body contour) Logo on the headstock?
Big thumbs up 👍🏻 for my 50s white blnd. CV . Really do love it
Do you remember that one video from 5 years ago called Costomised guitar Challenge - Shred vs Blues where lee wanted to make a Eric Clapton blackie strat on a budget. But he couldn't because they didn't have a black squier Classic vibe 50s strat at that time.
But guess what now he can. 13:24
UA-cam recommended me this video... this is scary... I have that exact 70s classic vibe strat in that color and I use that exact boss katana amp...
WARNING !! Google is listening to you !
Is there going to be a video covering the teles?
Cual recomiendan muchachos, la Stratocaster Squier clásic vibe 60' o la Squier clásic vibe 50' o la 70' estoy loco no sé cuál comprar el problema es que la tengo que importar porque en mi país es difícil poderla probar gracias por la ayuda.
I have a classic vibe jazz bass, it's insane the value for the money
I would never imagine Rob was a 50s cat. Nice. Could you please the Squier 70s HSS classic vibe?
Just got me a 2021 classic vibe 70s strat in sonic blue
Could you do a Video about the new Squier Telecaster classic Vibe Custom with Nato body - don't find anything on youtube about it......
Much, much brighter. Pine is super porous. Personal taste friends. Is an update more current to todays players looking for "that" chime sound. Great job Fender. Cheers all.
Cool playing Captain
Love my CV Tele. NEED a Strat now.
Many years ago, I bought a '96 MIK Squier Pro Tone for next to nothing. Threw in some fat 50's, 69, SD SSL5 PUps and it is an absolute thing of beauty. My favorite guitar.
I just picked up a sunburst pro tone recently that needs a lot of work. I just don't have the time to do it though.
Im waiting ever so patiently to watch you two do the new american ultra strat and Tele.
I found it. Pete and Captain! Great review, as expected
All-round Robs house for PIE YUM YUM YUM great demo guys thanks off to looks at guitars
I was a teen is the 60's, west coast N.America. It was an amazing time for a music loving teen. 50's was hot rods, beer, street fighting, greasy hair and Elvis, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly. Preferred the Mods over the Rockers. I bought the 70's SSS Olympic White. Love it.
I can't even wait to have one in my hands 🤤🎸
I have one of the first year 60's classic vibe guitars, Alder body, Indian Rosewood fretboard... Not sure why it's not going up in value considering the compromises on the new ones.
What is the difference between Squier Classic Vibe and Fender MIM?
And yes I concurre that it seem as if the Captains guitars skill have advanced. Great work Captain Anderson.
Love your videos and all the guitar info that comes along. Got a question for both of you R. Chapman & The Captain. My son and I we are both learning how to play the electric guitar / the Blues Rock to be more exact, what kind of pedal setup would be more appropriate for each one of us to use? We are using Ibanez Japan made. Thanks
check out That Pedal Show, they probably have a video that can give you some guidance.
Les Paul guitar player here looking for a nice Strat.
Would you guys purchase right now for one of these Squiers or maybe wait a couple of months and get a nice mexican Fender Player?
Rob plays like hes in a rush or something. Would be much better if he slowed down a bit and let the notes ring longer.
If looking for a kind of John Mayer and Corey Wong tone . Which one should to opt?
does anybody know the diameter/measurement of the tuning pegs on the 70s?? I want to replace the tuners with locking tuners (doing an upgrade) and i cant find the specs anywhere. Ive been told to get the 8.5mm tuners because thats the vintage sizing but i want to be sureee
Just measured my 70’s CV, and the pegs are 6mm, but they go through a ferrule, so I can’t tell what diameter the hole through the headstock is.
I have a sunburst 50s classic Vibe with some custom shop fat 54's in there. Paid $300 on reverb. The only difference between it and any of the $1,000 plus fenders I've played is the logo on the headstock.
I got the 50's Squier (blue colour) and it's an insane bargain!
I had decided on the fender player Strat but these are looking appealing.
