Appreciate the deep dive. Must say, the gunmetal finish looks great in your video.
I just got one yesterday. Thanks for the heads up on the grounding issues. It saved me a bunch of time if I would have had to troubleshoot.
I don't fully understand.
What was the issue ?
Where did you sand the paint to fix it ?
The colour on this is really catching. Watching you play has made me want one too. Top channel dude!
They actually don’t roast the necks, they roast the wood for 8 hours prior to neck fabrication, pretty cool process
thanks for your time, dude. looking at one second hand i needed some input.
Ive been playing mine for a few months now, I really enjoy it, I had to scrape mine as well.
I had that same grounding to the bridge and had to do the same thing with a Michael Kelly tele bridge , so now I learned any painted bridge that’s grounded needs to be sanded to get a good contact
just bought the white one! hoping they have already fixed the grounding issue by now but glad i found this video, just in case!
Have the white one, love it! Nice playing!
loveable review. I'm pondering buying this guitar, so thanks a lot for your input 🤍
Great review and demo, thanks! I also really appreciate the tip about making your own conductive paint - I hadn't ever heard of that. How do you take the battery apart? Just go at the casing with a knife?
If it had a tremolo and coil-splits, I'd get one. I'm not a metal guy--my main guitar is a Strat--but for a while, I've been on the lookout for an HH Telecaster with maximum tonal possibilities. Something more affordable than the Charvel so-cal tele.
For sure but the Charvel is in its own league 100%! If I was you, probably see if you can get your hands on a used Charvel
I bought one of these like 6 months ago and I don't regret it one bit! It spanks HARD when you roll the volume back and pick harder, so you wouldn't miss not having coil splits that much I'd say. But then I hate coil splits myself so what do I know. That would be cheap to add but I don't know if the pickups have 4 wires or 2. It's much, much brighter and hotter than my Les Paul with PAF style pickups, and I've got a ton of DiMarzios and Duncans I could replace the stock pickups with, but they're staying! They sound killer out of the box. I'd say the fixed Tele bridge piece is fundamental for that extra spank so if I was you, I'd get one anyway and take it for what it is. A quick visit to a luthier for a new nut, fret leveling and you'll have a killer guitar that does NOT go unnoticed onstage!
Iv heard the bridge pickup has those extra 2 wires that you need to split them. You just have to add a push pull
really cool demo, thank you for the video
I have the same color/model...love it but am thinking about replacing the neck pickup with an EMG. Neck is great!! Mahalo for the review...
It’s an amazing guitar bro! Which emg a passive or active pickup?
Passive for sure...don't want to mess with the 9 volt battery install.
I have this guitar and was curious about the pickups, so thanks for the measurements. I've watched a ton of reviews and none of them sound very good but your tones are absolutely fantastic.
I have a newer model that seems to be properly grounded, so I didn't need to do the bridge mod.
And just for your OCD, SH Teles are a thing (as opposed to thee more traditional HS). They aren't as common but they aren't super-rare either.
Thank you brother! Yeah I was also curious about the pickups which is why got the guitar to check it out for my self lol and your right have this pickup configuration is rare and unique so to add it you your collection is cool to have
Amazing guitar, I play my Squier Tele more than I play my Fender Strat, it is so easy to get good tones from it.
MY ADVICE: If you own the Pearl White color one like me, KEEP IT IN THE GIG BAG AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT. My guitar caught a yellowish tone in a matter of weeks from leaving it near the window with indirect sunlight. I now have to live with it, arghh. I have some covers if you want to know what it sounds like.
Thanks for the heads up
Got a white and gold one
Thinking of putting the gold one on the sun as an experiment
Lol..no really!! Lol
@@phucknuts a little indirect sunlight will do the trick!
@@phucknuts Maybe tape up sections of it to get like a Van Halen body type thing going on?
This is good. That means this guitar has been used !!!
Ty! Had to buy me one i love teles i have 2 but i needed one with modern look but same simple functions i dont like the "70s" HS style squier with 4 knobs and high up pickup switch
When you put bridge back after removing paint can you be sure the wire is touching that scrapped bit?thanks
😂 How they make roasted maple necks - cracked me up
Great review. Thank you.
Are you able to take out the screws and invert the tone volume and pick up switch selection? I would hate for my hand to keep running into the volume no.
Just ordered mine today!
tu video vale oro, grandes tips para todos, eso hace la diferencia, gracias.
I LOVE MINE !😊
Mine only buzzes when the tone knobs above 0. How do I ground the tone pot?
Lmao at the roasted neck segment.
You got yourself a new sub
Hi,Do you recommend for this squier Contemporary telecaster.think to buy my first telecaster.
Think 500k pots would help the tone on this? I think they’re 250k
Hi Jake good video! I’m thinking about buying this guitar, but in white. What do you prefer for playing 90’s punk rock music, this or the Squier paranormal telecaster deluxe?
For pickups on this guitar?
@@jakethefate yes, thinking about the best picksup for playing fast and with high gain
Hey what height you set for the bridge pickup? i have the same guitar but i feel im not getting the best sound from that bridge pickup
Hey bro sorry for the late reply man, but I like keeping mine at around 1/8” like if I’m using a groove tech ruler tool or any regular ruler from the top of the bobbin to the low E sting I do 1/8” and keep it even on both ends
Squire paranormal thin line still better ?
Guess I got lucky. Mine has no grounding issues.
What would you say between this guitar and a LTD TE-200?
That’s a good question because those guitars are great also! I would honestly have to say the LTD just because I love those guitars more the Squier’s but I would say get this or that, that’s completely up to you to see what feel and sounds better for you
Where did you sand the paint to fix the issue?
In the bridge, when you lift it and see the ground wire that black coating should be exposed to the metal if not it’ll buzz. I’ve had a few PT style guitars that have black painted bridges and they buzz because the back of it isn’t sanded
@jakethefate thank you very much.
Now I get it. There's one on Craigslist near me. Like new, $300.
I'll probably wait till it's gone, like I usually do...but it looks interesting.
I don't play high gain much, so maybe it's not for me.
He said polyester clear coat but pretty sure he meant polyurethane. Just a small nitpick I figured I'd point out.
Thank you bro! I did mean to polyurethane, I woulda said polyphia and not even notice what I said 😂
You'd also want a roasted maple neck because of cosmetics
