    They really dropped the ball by not putting double bindings on that Tele body IMHO. Would've made for the best looking Tele in all of Fender's lineup with those inlays.

      @TheDanification 2 роки тому +14

      Yes! Why are double-bound Teles so rare? Especially when you can get binding on most Epis and other imports. Fender, take note!

      Yeah it makes it a little more special and adds to the guitar but I've always liked the straight up original tele look just a slab of wood.

      @SohamBhattacharya3105 2 роки тому +1

      I'm equally surprised. It's not like they don't do double bound Teles. The Classic Vibe Custom Tele is double bound. They could have easily used that.

    I got the Seafoam green with the anodized pickguard.
    It looks amazing and plays amazing, it sits next to a 2004 limited run 50th anniversary Strat and a 2008 MIM Standard on my multi stand and it has no shame!!!

    Bought one of the orange Teles. Love it as it’s cheap enough to mod and do stuff without being precious about it. Sanded the neck (made is so playable) switched pick ups but want to put some Monty’s in but the biggest difference was changing the saddles for intonated brass ones. It sings. Sold my Gibson Les Paul Standard and other expensive guitars and my Squier Tele is just everything I want. Brilliant. Don’t judge by the name peeps. Because my Tele is so great I’m now looking at the Jazzmaster.

    • @jimmyparris9892
      @jimmyparris9892 2 роки тому

      I had one of those in the same color scheme. CV 50's. I didn't bond with mine, although I wanted to real bad. I think it was the weight, or lack of weight. Although I like light guitars, that one was way too light. It just didn't feel right to me. The quality was very good though.
      I obviously got rid of it, but I got a Squier Deluxe strat in Blizzard Pearl (I think). It was great and the weight was just right for my tastes. I only got rid of it because I traded it for a player series strat in faded sonic blue with a mint green pick guard. I'm a sucker for that color scheme, and it's a very nice strat as well.

      @@dogbot94 I still have a 2012 Vintage Modified Thinline upgraded with Bare Knuckles PUPS that is an absolute weapon (£280 new). Genuinely one of my all time favourite guitars. Modern Squiers are great but USA and MIM necks are in a totally different class. What with the price of top-of-the-line Squires being almost double what they used to be, it makes no sense to not look on the secondhand market for something with a USA/MIM neck and custom shop pups. It's a no brainer. Fender will be keeping a very close eye on their top end Squire sales over the next few years as they are well aware of the fact they're competing with the Fender secondhand market. Electric Guitars last for decades, and play better over time, so it's a difficult one for them. I'll definitely keep buying the occasional new Squire so long as they're under £350. The recent Esquire Squires were also brilliant.

    I’m a massive Squier fan. My favourite guitar of the 20 plus guitars I own including several USA Fenders is my 1987 MIJ Squier Strat. I have a couple of 2021 Squiers including A Jaguar Contemporary which I count amongst the best made of all guitars I own. It these 50th anniversary models have been very disappointing I’ve found. I had a look at a couple of these in a store yesterday and all had for and finish problems. Not to mention the plastics (pickup covers and knobs) which just look ridiculously cheap.

      The original Chinese ones were consistently better. I have a 2009 60s Strat and it's so good that I have no reason what so ever to 'upgrade', other than GAS.
      I think it was around £220 new. Ridiculous value, and I find myself wishing I'd bought several of em.

      That's the result of all the price fixing that Fender did,,, sadly none of the retailers wanted to speak up about this. It'll forever be a black mark on the reputation of Andertons, GAK and many other retailers, to those in the know. We've all been ripped off en masse, and it's been swept under the rug.

      Yeah, I always considered Squier to be for beginners up until recent years. But the 40th Anniversary editions are getting really good reviews. Total Guitar gave the 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster 4/5 this month, which is pretty cool. I always wanted a Jazzmaster but can't afford Fender prices, so finally decided to buy the 40th Gold Edition. It's the first Squier I've owned (my other guitars are a Mex Fender Strat and an Epiphone SG Muse). Feels strange to drop nearly £400 on a Squier, but it seems like the real deal!

    I've never owned a squir but have played several friends guitars that had one great guitars but my first real guitar was an American fender strat lol I say real because my 1st guitar was a like 1940s or something idk really dirt old harmony acoustic that sounded like a banjo that was my pop pops old junker that he never played but I wanted to learn so bad I didn't care what it sounded like or how hard it was to play. My second guitar was also a harmony but it was an electric , I got a jackson flying v that I had 1956 humbuckers in ... it had a mirror Pickguard and was given to me which I ended up giving it away myself. I got my American strat after that.... I'd love to get a few squirs to be honest...

    Correct I love these guitars matter fact, I’m gonna buy one. I think they’re beautiful. Squier makes great guitars I think it’s a prestige thing when it says fender on it or maybe Gibson or maybe guild even the jazz master is beautiful. I think these guitars are gorgeous just like the Graach sherries, they were all gorgeous I have one I love it a 427GT hollow body midnight blue Graach that’s what I have. I love the Sunburst Squier Strat that’s the one I want you guys sure do do a great job on this show, I really love it, thanks I appreciate the information about these guitars🎸🎼🎶🎵👍🏼😎

    Pro Tone Series in mid to late 90's was when Squier did again so great guitars that Fender scrapped their plans again and made them to do lower quality instruments again.

  • @astridlenore
    @astridlenore Рік тому

    Classic Vibe is definitely premium Squier, but if you want the breaking point where they left the nest as it were, you're iooking at Vintage Modified. They were doing things mainstream Fender wouldn't do for years, if ever. I'm currently the proud owner of three of them (OG thinline tele, jaguar, and bass vi in that order) and wouldn't trade them for the world... likely even if someone offered me the vintage fenders in trade. Regarding the 40th Jazzmaster though, aesthetic changes aside (apart from that anodized pickguard which really helps it from separating from its output jack), the angled neck pocket is nigh-unnoticable and yet probably the biggest thing to ever happen to Squier offsets. Not sure if the other models are like this but if not they should be.

    They need to give love to the MIM line. There aren't enough double bond Teles, bound necks, or guitars with block inlays.
    The Jazzmaster is tempting purely off aesthetics. There aren't many options for a bound Jazzmaster neck with block inlays. Let alone one with a 9.5 radius
