@@11000038 Agreed the headstock is way too long for my taste, Fender has the right idea when it comes to looks, keeping the same shape, ''lower'' quality items. Someone who wants a Fender WILL buy a Fender, and Gibson should do the same..

Lee, your playing has improved so much over the years that I've been watching the Anderton's channel. Good job, mate! You have inspired this old guy to reach higher, play more, and play better.

I was just coming to say this, 0000 steel wool is my go to. Just takes the sticky off, it makes a huge difference and is easy to do without being too harsh
That green and black Tele sounds great. That stacked single coil and neck bucker combo seemed to work really nicely. Of course an SRV inspired strat that it is possible to play without looking like a shameless fanboy is always welcome. I'm actually quite impressed how close to an SRV sound it manages in its defaut configuration despite having strings on it at the opposite end of the scalle from which SRV was known to use. Better put some telegraph wires on that thing! Squire seem to be knocking it out of the park here.
i got one of the contemporary teles a couple of months ago. great guitar. the neck feels amazing, very playable guitar feel. but the star is the pickups, they are SHOCKINGLY good. very hot and not great for an ultra-clean tele sound but they come to life with some gain. imo the best "rock" tele on the market and it's a Squier. the only thing i dislike about it is the tuning pegs, kinda low quality, unfortunately, but it's an easy fix.
How about an Anderton's episode on guitars which "punch above their weight"? Pete and Lee each pick 3 guitars each from the Anderton's stock, at any price point, which they believe actually play/sound much better than than they should for what they cost. You could turn it into a competiton with someone else judging. Or you could each pick a sub £250, a sub £1000 and a sub £1500 with someone judging which is best at each price point.
Captain is getting better and better (I've loved his blues playing for years but not showing plain old melodic soloing that's inspiring). Listening to Pete playing is and always has been a joy. To learn what's out and new is just a bonus ;)
That pinch harmonick laden lick pete does at about 30:00 and that whole run after was pretty fire off the top also the call and response part at the end killed it
They all sound amazing! That crimson red Jazzmaster with maple neck caught my eye and now I have a soft spot for it 😌 I must say, hearing Lee heavy riffing on that green custom Telecaster was the coolest, along with Pete's sunglasses! 😎
wow these guitars are great! i love the golden thinline especially. unfortunately no money left for even these affordable axes but happy for anyone being able to get their hands on one of those beauties
I've been watching that SRV looking guitar since this video came out, and recently saw your summer sale & the 339 price, so I pulled the trigger. It only took a couple days to get all the way to Michigan in the USA & I love it!!! Thanks to Danish Pete for his demo & enthusiasm and to everyone at Andertons for getting this guitar to me quickly and in perfect condition!! Cheers!!!!😊😅😂
Cap, I've been listening to you play since you were doing this on Rob's channel and I'm blown away at how much you've progressed. You are living proof that practice works. Keep up the good work, sir. Have a wonderful day all!
I´m such impressed by this guitar video. Excellent job you two. I own a Squier CV 60s Custom Tele 3-SB since 2020 and became my main guitar. Cheers from Portugal.
Captain, my captain, your playing has gotten so much better. Pete, I listen to these reviews just hear you play. And these guitars sound amazing. Kudos.
Which effect(s) are you using here? 1:40 and 2:20. These two telecaster sounded the best for me! I dont even like thinlines, but that blue color is beautiful! And the sound is so good!
Thanks guys. Very attractive guitars - especially at the prices!! So much so, I ordered two - the Bass Vi and the 3-burst Strat with the "gold" fittings. Both turned up yesterday as promised and I have played them both quite a bit during the past 24 hours. Some background, although never a professional, I played in bands from 1965 till 2011 and was still solo gigging in 2017 when, unfortunately, severe tinnitus and stiffening fingers made me give up. I sold off all my electric guitars which included three Custom Shop Strats, a Gibson L4, Les Paul and J-200 as well as several acoustics and just retained one acoustic to noodle with at home. I still have my Fender Blues Deluxe Mk III and pedal board - simply because no one wanted to buy them!! These Squiers looked perfect to re-enthuse some electric noodling at home and dusting off my multi-track Tascam unit (also bought from Andersons!). On the whole I am pleased with the two new guitars but agree with several other UA-cam videos I have seen on the Squier Bass Vi in particular. The intonation of the lower E is not good and almost im[possible to sort with the bridge supplied. I have seen several videos recommending fitting a Staytrem unit as an upgrade. Secondly the strings fitted - wire round, make an incredibly squeaky sound unless pretty well all the treble is rolled off and are really too light for the guitar, at least the lower strings - the low E really has very little tension making it very hard to get a clean note. I see many Bass VI players recommend LaBella 767-6F Bass VI Stainless Flats - 26-95 for this instrument - I now have a set on order! When using the "whammy" bar there is a really annoying rattle as the bar has a slightly loose fit into the socket and when I use it this is picked up through the pick-ups and is amplified by the amp. Only one day in and I have not had any issues with the tuners but I have seen a few players reporting issues which required them to replace the ones suppled with Klusons. Yes, the instrument is at a very good price and, I think, has great potential but I do feel many buyers will find the need to spend almost as much again on upgrades and professional set-up work to really make it a joy to play. So far I have spent more time with the Bass VI than the SRV inspired Strat. Now, it may be the SRV influence but "out of the box" I found the whammy unit unusable. It is hard down on the body and took considerable force to be able to use it to dip the strings. I guessed there were 5 springs attached and on all my previous Strats took two off to allow both up and down movement. I was therefore surprised to find only three under the plate. I took one off which allowed easier dipping but there was still nothing to allow an upward pull. Are the springs heavier than those fitted to Fender's regular Strats? I notice the strings fitted are very light - possibly .010 on top? I prefer.011s but aren't going to change them until I am satisfied with the guitar overall. I think the frets could do with dressing and good set-up but otherwise this does seem a good value instrument. Just my personal observations from several hours playing these guitars. Perhaps, after twenty years with Custom Shop instruments I am expecting too much from these very inexpensive examples!!!
I have been playing for 23 years and had many guitars and i must say, my Squiers ( Pearl white contemporary Tele and White Strato HH with FR from the previous year, the one with inverted headstock) are one of my favorite guitars ever. I tune that Tele contemp in Drop C#, sounds just amazing!
i got a contemporary tele couple months ago. i wanted a "non traditional" tele for playing rock and metal and it is PERFECT for what i wanted it for. i would have preferred the white but my local music store had the blue-grey so that's what i got. it needs some better tuners but everything else about it is perfect.
@@figjam9530 Totally agree on the tuners, they suck. I switch them for Fender Locking tuners..perfect guitar now :D But i think i would be fine witht he ones from harley benton, the fender ones are too expensive, i think.
If the srv strat is coming for lefties as well, that would be awesome 🙏 I'm in love with the srv strat since I've seen it for the first time in a store
Lee, you gave an outstanding solo in the beginning. You are getting so much more tasteful. What you said about stopping the licks you play all the time for new thought.. interesting.
At 14:00, you hit it on the head, you really can go crazy on upgrades, but, if you choose wisely, you end up with spectacular results: I bought the (Danish Pete) purple FSR Tele and it was okay, but a bit too acoustic-sounding, and, frankly, I could not handle how bad the tuning got as I played chords up the neck. I swapped the pickups (Duncan La Brea), bridge saddles (Wilkinson compensated), new Grover tuners, an Oak-Grigsby 4-way switch, and CTS pots, and I shielded the whole thing with copper tape. I have almost as much into the parts as I did into the guitar, but I ended up with a Tele for which tele players (I'm traditionally a Les Paul player) want to trade me their far more expensive Fenders. And I ended up with exactly what I wanted -- essentially a fully-custom tele -- for way-too-much-money-for-a-Squier, but still maybe 1/3 of what it would have cost me to spec it out and have it built from scratch. Plus, it's purple. Nothing sounds better on a tele than purple.
I love you guys so much lol. So good. Squier has come into their own now. It is so amazing how good they are at their price range. Bravo Fender/Squier.
Gotta commend the production team here. Did you all get new cameras? Anyways, the production is crazy good and good on you all for that!! Bravo! What do ya know, better equipment pays dividends! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Before I purchased my first electric guitar I wanted nothing to do with Squier based purely on reputation... but then I bought a Squier Affinity because first first choices just weren't available anywhere at any price. Now I'm looking at these guitars and wondering why I would ever want to spend more money. I think the Strat is the only one I'd spend up for a Fender but only because the Player comes with a two point trem while the CVs have the classic six screw bridges.
I've become a squire junkie. I own USA, MIM and other brands like schecter, epiphone and PRS, but for the money squiers are rapidly becoming one of the best low cost brands out there. I have 3 different tele's and two jazzmasters. YES, they need a great setup as that's one of their biggest shortcomings. And YES the pickups and circuitry could use upgrades, but are still totally serviceable. The wood is great, necks are fantastic and the styling is top notch. And I was hardcore anti-squier growing up. Boy things have changed!
One should read the specs on each guitar very carefully. I have the contemporary Tele. Bound body, bound 22 fret roasted maple neck, comfort cut and sculptured heel joint. But it has a 12 inch radius neck and large jumbo frets. The neck feels very different than a 9.5 inch medium jumbo neck.
Even after getting a fender telecaster for the first time, I still love squier cvs, they really are equal in quality just better priced. Only downside is the glossy neck which is an easy fix. I am 100% getting a shell pink hss cv strat sometime when I can afford it
Shoreline Gold is such an awesome colour. I loved the run of thinline's they did in Shoreline Gold - they're still about £300 or so if you can track one down. I want one...
Shit man, that outro jam was the best I've heard the both of you play. Everyone's saying Lee's playing has improved (they've been saying that forever), but Dutch Piet's on an even higher level now 🔥🔥🚒🧯
well well well Squiers are becoming so clever in creating models that look beautiful and are great addiction to any collection !! I mean if I was rich probably i would buy more and more custom shop guitar...but for most of us....these are perfect !!
Just back from house rocking the pub with a CV 50’s pine tele! Modded??? Noppers all stock and it stands up well to my 2016 standard. Standard is a bit better, but come on now.
IMO, the Squier 51is one of the best Squiers ever made. It is the only true line they made from scratch and is still one of my favorite guitars to play out of the 6 guitars I own.
Lee...I'm gonna steal you opening riff on the Gunmetal Tele! I'm glad Peter asked you to continue. I recently purchased that same guitar and hoping to get a sound somewhat close to what you had on this video. Can you share what you're paying through and with what effects? I have a Boss Katana MKII and a '75 Fender ProReverb that I hope to use for this new Squire. Have lots of pedals as well. Mahalo from Hawaii!!
My bestsss are the jazzmaster, and the strat !!! Thank you for the demo ! But i have just buy the 40th anniversary squier jazzmaster in gold and olympic white !
Dammit!!!!! I've ordered a Bass VI. I wasn't even browsing for a guitar! Roll on friday... Love the colour: love the style, I looked at the review and wondered Does it come with a gigbag?
Ha Ha - its the same amp & board I use in every video - the only thing I've changed recently is I'm using the new Victory V1 Sheriff pedal for "mid gain" & occasionally if really want something heavy I'm using the new Victory V1 Kraken pedal (but the jams are the Sheriff pedal)
Maybe these are too new for anyone to have got one, but curious about first-hand impressions of that SRV-inspired strat. Obviously Pete's touch coaxes the best out of it, but that's the most Stevie tone I think I've heard other than... Stevie. The only mod I could see making is to put Dunlop jumbo frets in place of the high narrows I think this has stock. Oh, and yeah heavy strings tuned Eb for sure. Anyone?

Danish Pete with the sunglasses looks as badass as he plays! Its a sick look!

Squier produce so many great guitars, can't decide which one to get.
The Jazzmasters with the block inlays look killer!
I love you guys so much lol. So good. Squier has come into their own now. It is so amazing how good they are at their price range. Bravo Fender/Squier.
Love Lee's expression when Pete turns on the farty fuzz with the Bass VI! :P
I have the shoreline gold cabornita tele…it’s incredible for the money. Gigged with it already and it was faultless.
22:40 lick bookmarked for tomorrow … great vid and demo guys!
Nice to see decent instruments priced for people to enjoy without taking out a second mortgage 😁..
Well played as always guys.
I just bought one of these for my son. He is well chuffed.
In this video we learnt Pete should wear sunglasses indoors playing guitar more often hahah
This was fantastic boys! Lee, you blew me away...your Owning it!

What a ridiculous, ignorant, statement! 🙄
Man, I've been dying to add a tele to my collection, but that jazzmaster 👌
Squier FSR Contemporary Telecaster RH in Olive, nice color and great sound
I've become a squire junkie. I own USA, MIM and other brands like schecter, epiphone and PRS, but for the money squiers are rapidly becoming one of the best low cost brands out there. I have 3 different tele's and two jazzmasters. YES, they need a great setup as that's one of their biggest shortcomings. And YES the pickups and circuitry could use upgrades, but are still totally serviceable. The wood is great, necks are fantastic and the styling is top notch.

These guys got hands and that's why all the guitars sound amazing ) So we can see that any guitar is good to learn. :)
One should read the specs on each guitar very carefully. I have the contemporary Tele. Bound body, bound 22 fret roasted maple neck, comfort cut and sculptured heel joint. But it has a 12 inch radius neck and large jumbo frets. The neck feels very different than a 9.5 inch medium jumbo neck.
Flat fingerboards/necks are cheaper to make and setup. Like Harley bentons and all the other $£100 guitars have the same flat necks.
Andertons videos always make me feel better.
Even after getting a fender telecaster for the first time, I still love squier cvs, they really are equal in quality just better priced. Only downside is the glossy neck which is an easy fix. I am 100% getting a shell pink hss cv strat sometime when I can afford it
I just built a 2 P-90 pickup Tele.. Love it.
Just got a CV 50’s Telecaster. Love Squier❤
Is it just me or has Lee gotten quite a bit better at his improvising? Love the Squiers as well!
I NEED that tele custom. I love CME as well. I need to check it out someday.
I own one of the thin line carbonitas with the jazz master pickups and it’s my absolute favorite axe.
Shoreline Gold is such an awesome colour. I loved the run of thinline's they did in Shoreline Gold - they're still about £300 or so if you can track one down. I want one...
It has been a while since I have been a regular viewer. Lee is just slaying the guitar now!
Shit man, that outro jam was the best I've heard the both of you play. Everyone's saying Lee's playing has improved (they've been saying that forever), but Dutch Piet's on an even higher level now 🔥🔥🚒🧯
Jam in/Jam out were outstanding.
well well well Squiers are becoming so clever in creating models that look beautiful and are great addiction to any collection !! I mean if I was rich probably i would buy more and more custom shop guitar...but for most of us....these are perfect !!
I have an arsenal of guitars, and the Squiers I have don't disappoint!
wow
that thineline tele sounded amazing
Just back from house rocking the pub with a CV 50’s pine tele! Modded??? Noppers all stock and it stands up well to my 2016 standard. Standard is a bit better, but come on now.
Nice chops in the intro Capo.
IMO, the Squier 51is one of the best Squiers ever made. It is the only true line they made from scratch and is still one of my favorite guitars to play out of the 6 guitars I own.
Lee! Awesome playing in that intro jam :D
Love the Contemporary Fender, Both the color and sound.
These sound absolutely insane !!
Lee...I'm gonna steal you opening riff on the Gunmetal Tele! I'm glad Peter asked you to continue. I recently purchased that same guitar and hoping to get a sound somewhat close to what you had on this video. Can you share what you're paying through and with what effects? I have a Boss Katana MKII and a '75 Fender ProReverb that I hope to use for this new Squire. Have lots of pedals as well. Mahalo from Hawaii!!
My bestsss are the jazzmaster, and the strat !!! Thank you for the demo ! But i have just buy the 40th anniversary squier jazzmaster in gold and olympic white !
That green telescope actually awesome more modern looking than I prefer but it works
Telescope? Doncha love Spellcheck??
❤ music is just flowing out of Lee and Pete.
That double bound tele looks awsome ive got a fender american similar colour but the double binding sets that guitar off
While Lee isn’t the most technical player, I must say that his vibrato is really good!
Damn, the intro jam is so enjoyable to listen to ❤️🔥
That intro jam… so vibey… see what I did there? 😌
Dammit!!!!! I've ordered a Bass VI. I wasn't even browsing for a guitar! Roll on friday... Love the colour: love the style, I looked at the review and wondered Does it come with a gigbag?
13:24 best part of the entire video 😂
I ❤️ Andertons! Nice review, Thank You
Andertons should market DP Hi-Gain Cocaine Sunglasses.
Maybe an FSR Purple Version for Spring '23?
Just Do It Cap.
Just Do it.
What is Mr. Captain Lee Anderton using for amps and pedals in the intro? Best tone he's laid out yet!
Ha Ha - its the same amp & board I use in every video - the only thing I've changed recently is I'm using the new Victory V1 Sheriff pedal for "mid gain" & occasionally if really want something heavy I'm using the new Victory V1 Kraken pedal (but the jams are the Sheriff pedal)
Well played, sir. Now I have to start a Victory fund! I'm betting you know where to source one for a fair price. Thank you!
Maybe these are too new for anyone to have got one, but curious about first-hand impressions of that SRV-inspired strat. Obviously Pete's touch coaxes the best out of it, but that's the most Stevie tone I think I've heard other than... Stevie. The only mod I could see making is to put Dunlop jumbo frets in place of the high narrows I think this has stock. Oh, and yeah heavy strings tuned Eb for sure. Anyone?
