Hope this dude is alright! Went to watch some more of his videos after this amazing playing and looks like he posted regularly but then stopped 5 months ago and not posted anything since. If you read this great playing amd would love to watch your channel grow!
Thank you so much for your kindness. I'm good. Had to deal with home construction issues. My pc has been packed away for a very long time. I am getting back at it, this week though.
Nice to see a real non-affiliated demo of this. Sounds great and your playing is great without being showy. Half the videos you watch people are selling themselves, not putting the guitar first
I played one of these (also blue) for 10 minutes earlier at my favorite music store, and I had them hold it for me while I thought about it overnight. It plays really nice and I had a similar reaction to hearing how hot the pickups are. It sounds amazing through a tube screamer. You've helped seal the deal with your review and I'll be picking mine up first thing after work tomorrow!
very glad you made a video on this because some of the pictures show the color as being more green-ish, so it's great to see the real color on video :)
I was hoping it wouldv been more greenish. The blue is growing on me though. I ordered it hoping it would be more greenish but expected it to be more blue.
I just read up on this guitar today . I go to UA-cam and there you are doing a demo and review. I like this axe especially for the price and after watching you it seems to be quality built. I was skeptical about the pickups but you fixed that . Excellent job on this video. Thanks for sharing. BTW I subscribed to your channel. Thanks again. ✌️
I have one but in gold. Brilliant guitar. Firstly, the build quality is off the charts. I can not find a fault with the fit and finish. The best example of that is the point at which the black head stock face and the natural wood side meet. It’s the equivalent of a Les paul top and sides. They can’t get it right at 8-9 times the price of this guitar. Everything else is flawless. If this was a us made ultra no one would blink an eye at the quality relative to price. The sound is phenomenal. I’ve never had any interest in Jaguars but I picked one up because of the price and just love it. Those pickups are stunning and when the sales guy said to me ‘atomic’ I thought ‘metal and not for me’ but as you’ve shown that’s not it at all. This guitar has leap frogged so my many other guitars in my collection (15 and counting) to be amongst the top 3 alongside my 52 reissue Tele and ... In 2021 there’s no need to be spending big money on high end Fenders. The high end Squiers (not so much the bottom end) are just amazing- and you can have 2-4 for the same money so you get to experience models like a Jaguar that you otherwise might not have.
That's only issue I see with it they both look so nice be hard yo choose a colour but if I get one grow to love it I'd probably get another anyway cos short scales my thing cos small arms and hands so not too many offerings so probs buy both over next few years both sooo nice
Really nice playing. I saw a young guy playing this exact guitar in an art gallery last night. Boy, is it a pretty guitar! And it sounded like a million bucks. I'm a BIG believer in Squier products.
Changed my order to the Shoreline Gold. Everything I have is a burst. My Vintera modified Strat 2 tone sunburst, Vintage 25th anniversary V75 silverburst l, a vintage Icon V6 distressed 3 tone sunburst. I always loved gold tops bit not an LP, SG fan. So I wanted to make a change. This one's coming sooner as well. Finally! 8ve been dying for this. I love my Contemporary Tele HH from last series.
@@drothberg3 On my guitar, it does absolutely nothing in split mode. You don't even have any short break from the switch, I think it's bypassed completely.
Well I got it and it plays great. You were right. The pick ups kick ass. I love the coil tap. Gives it that other sound. I play a lot of country stuff and it is a good country guitar. Hell I feel this guitar can do it all. Again thank you for turning me on to this fine guitar and keep up the good work.
Thank you for explaining the switches! Prior to seeing this I spent a week hunting for this guitar. I have the same color (liked it better than the gold). I'm just learning, and my musical tastes are all over the place. I'm happy with the diversity of sound you can get with this guitar, blues to metal! Love it!
Freaking awesome demo man. I own this guitar and it's one of my favourites, unbelievable quality not only for this price. Get one as long as they're available, you most probably won't regret it.
Can you be my guitar teacher lol. I was thinking of getting the gold because the blue online looked meh, but seeing it on cam it looks great! I may get that one! Sounds fantastic
Your guitar skills are very impressive! I'm seriously considering buying this guitar and this made me wanna purchase it even more. I've just started a grunge project but don't fancy spending over £1000 on the Kurt cobain version especially when this one sounds great. I also have a Mexican fender deluxe ios HSS
I either want to get this one or the special strat with 2 single coils close to bridge This whole lineup looks good, can’t believe they all have roasted maple necks
Great review and Demo. I did my best to not give in but....mine arrived yesterday and she's every bit as much a lady as my Fender! Btw, you seem like a fun guy to hang out with! Take care and be well.
I've got this guitar coming. Pre ordered in January from Sweetwater. Got a call in April saying good news, looks like it's coming in sooner in May instead if later in May. Yay. I talked to my rep to ask roughly when in early may and he says "we don't know." Could be June or even August. Could still be May. Ugghhh. I'd be pissed if it's pushed back past May.
Where do you even start out learning to play like this? DAMN!! Can you teach me?😩 I just picked up again after 10 years. Loving these contemporary Squiers!! Considering the contemporary Tele.
At 15:25 i was looking for my cat. :) Great Playing. Actually I have enough guitars. But this guitar looks and sounds really great. And it's something different than Strat or Tele.
Great video, and great playing. ordered the exact guitar today. I own a PRS and a Schecter Apocalypse.... But something about this one... I just had to have it.
Your review help me make my mind I ordered the same guitar today, Can't wait to get my hands on this beauty. Just a quick question, are Pickups microphonic?
Regarding the Parallel/Series switch...Doesn’t it just work when both pickups are on? Isn’t that the whole idea...it puts the two pickups either in series or in parallel? But maybe I’m wrong?
I think you may be getting Series / Parallel mixed up with In Phase / Out of Phase. Two Humbuckers Out of Phase gives a sort of funky slightly lower output "cocked wah" quacky type tone. What this guitar has is a Series / Parallel switch which switches the individual coils within each pickup. Putting both coils in Parallel offers a lower output single coil-esque tone without all the hum and buzz you get from just shorting one coil completely out like the Coil Split switch does. It's actually really cool this guitar gives you BOTH options so you can choose whichever you prefer! 👍
I can't quit looking at these and I don't even like Jags! 😛 I've never wanted a Squier so badly. My CV 50's Tele is damn good, but that was curiosity not lust.
I'm sold man that thing looks and sounds nice think I see one of these in my near future change tuners I was thinking change pick ups but dont need it or wont be in a rush to change em awesome review 1 more sub for you good sir and thanks for ya help you made my mind up 100%
Your a very good player. I have a chance to buy one. Used here in Sacramento California. At a place called Music Go Round. For 370.00 $. I will let you know if I get it. Like Your channel. You play real good.
It was indeed, a short marriage. Not for any fault of the guitar though... I'm a bit of a gigalo when it comes to guitars... "How can you know which is best, if you don't try them all?" ~Christopher
I have the CV Jag, totally different guitar. Totally. Only similar in shape and nothing else. Pups, bridge and tailpiece, switching, fretboard radius, nut material: they are flat out different guitars. You need to get both.
@@owenaitken4754 I don't have the Contemporary HH yet but going off these videos, very, very different. Think about the difference between a Strat and a Les Paul. Not saying a Jag sounds like a strat of that thi sounds like a LP but you take a single coils guitar and compare it to a hum equipped guitar and you should expect they would be quite different. I have a traditional mustang and had an HH mustang. Gonna be the same difference, the twang and snap from a traditional mustang doesn't match the power and drive ofnthrnhum equipped version. The switching will be totally different with bass cut switching on a regular jag, the rhythm circuit of a regular jag. They are just completely different guitars. If you are looking for a Jag cause you want a Jaguar get a CV Jag. Ifmyounloownthr shape of jag but aren't looking for a traditional jag the contemporary one here will be perfect.
@@bciecko1 Really appreciate the response. I know this sounds a bit whack but I am thinking of getting this Jag and equipping it with some P90s, again it won't in a sense be a traditional Jag but what do you think?
@@owenaitken4754 ciao! as you know, one big difference is the bridge: this one has a "Gibson Type" bridge which makes the sound less "ringy" and a little darker (Gibsonish when in humbucker mode and Stratocasterish when in single coil mode) in my opinion. That is why as Bradford said, it is a totally different beast. I couldn't get a Jag sound out of it, but i wasn't looking for a jag sound. If you put P90s, you could get a sound (IMO) closer to a J Mascis which i tried and didn't buy just becuause i found the neck too thick for my small hands.
What are your thoughts on the pickups, I keep reading online that the pickups are muddy sounding. But so far on every review it sounds great, is it a in the room situation? You still have it? How does it holds over time?
I did change the pickups. Not because they were bad, but because I needed a vehicle to try out a new set of pickups. I no longer own this though. Guitars are only mine temporarily... Unless they are "special" to me.
I have one same colour. Took me a while to get used to shorter scale but it's a high end squier and couldn't find a hh fender one from Japan. Very good guitar for money. Not big fan of pickups though
I don’t have this guitar yet but I have answers. So for the pickguard, you’d have to compare the layouts, or you can order a custom pickguard for this guitar. And for the bridge, it’s not impossible, but you’d have to fill the holes and redrill them. And it’s not very worth it since it doesn’t have a trem, and the those bridges don’t go to 12” radius.
My high e and b string is dead and/ or tinny on the first fret. It won't ring at all. I think the 2nd fret is too high. I got it from the factory like this.
I really would love if they did this guitar with the one-piece maple neck like they did with the Strat in this series. Or maybe an ebony fretboard. I'm just not into the light brown. How does the Indian Laurel feel compared to other fretboards?
Not sure about this guitar but I have a Indian laurel j mascis Jazzmaster and it feels Great just like rosewood but more streaky. You can darken it by adding f one oil and this product called guitar honey
Indian Laurel feels borderline indistinguishable from rosewood when you're playing it. If you want to darken up the fretboard, get some Music Nomad F-One oil. It'll make the Indian Laurel darken up very nicely, practically indistinguishable from rosewood at that point.
Hi, I like your videos but your voice is much lower in sound than your guitar. So when we watch your videos we have to keep lowering and raising the volume. Please watch this video closely and you'll see it's a pain to keep doing that. Plus I miss what you say. I wouldn't care so much, but you're one of the better demo guys and you seem to care about the same things on guitar that I do, and many people do. Keep up the great work.
The series mode is the "classic" humbucker setting, louder, with a more present mid-range and more compressed. The parallel mode sounds thinner, more dynamic, with a little more twang; I would describe it as somewhere between a humbucker and a single coil sound. I only use parallel when playing clean, where it sounds much brighter than the series option.
Great stuff...but I wish Fender would have offered a few more color options...already having a goldtop LP....I really don't want another gold-ish guitar and I'm sorry but that blue is hideous
That's exactly why I got the gold. I'm a Fender guy and I have my 2 tone vintera modified Strat, silverburst Tele, 3 tone sunburst distressed HSS strat and Sonic blue. I love gold tops but hate playing LPs and sgs. So I got the gold. The goods actually beautiful IRL.
Hope this dude is alright! Went to watch some more of his videos after this amazing playing and looks like he posted regularly but then stopped 5 months ago and not posted anything since. If you read this great playing amd would love to watch your channel grow!

ST-stop tailpiece. That's a beauty! I want one.
Thanks chris, I just ordered one in sky blue, can't wait. I just saw a fender ad that had 40% off so timing was good.

Did you end up getting the guitar? How do you like it?
Got mine in 3 days ago. The Bridge pickup is sooo sick. Love that thing.
is the neck slightly wider/chunker than the other squire jags cv, vm, etc
Probably the best demo of the guitar I've seen. MAD guitar skills. Great video.

Bought one and this is a great review to help decipher those switches that I love
Do you still have the guitar? How do you like it now?
I think parallel series switch works when both pickups are on.
Yeah, it only applies with both pickups on
Exactly what I was thinking.
That's what I thought, but it seems to be doing something very subtle when he's using one pickup.
@@drothberg3 On my guitar, it does absolutely nothing in split mode. You don't even have any short break from the switch, I think it's bypassed completely.
Nope. That's with phase/out of phase.
The Music Mill rocks. It's the only brick and mortar store I ever step foot in. The guitar sounds great, nice score.
It looks like a great guitar. Thanks man for giving us a review so soon.

Speaking of PICKUPS have you tried out Dragon Fire pickups at all? If so what is your opinion?
I have one same colour. Took me a while to get used to shorter scale but it's a high end squier and couldn't find a hh fender one from Japan. Very good guitar for money. Not big fan of pickups though
Hi mate if I buy one can I change pickguard with a Jaguar one? And can I put a jazzmaster bridge without making holes in your opinion?

When I look at the neck info, it say 22 frets not 24. Am I missing something here, is there another one in same color that has 24 frets?
22 frets. 24 inch scale length. "Scale length" is the distance of the string termination points, from the nut, to the saddle.

Strange, I would expect series to be louder, being the output of one pickup going through the second.
This guy needs more Recognition
"ST" = stop tail?
Sans
Close. The Squire web site states "Stop Tailpiece"
How much does it weigh?
I would like to know what is the difference between Series and Parallel. Its meaning and how affects sound. Great video and thank you.
The series mode is the "classic" humbucker setting, louder, with a more present mid-range and more compressed. The parallel mode sounds thinner, more dynamic, with a little more twang; I would describe it as somewhere between a humbucker and a single coil sound. I only use parallel when playing clean, where it sounds much brighter than the series option.
How chunky or how thin is the neck?
Quite chunky. Vintage style. Love it.
Great review! Does this pickups sound similar to the SQR actives of the Contemporary Starcaster??
No.
How would you compare this to the revstar 502 that you have?
I like the Revstar better. But they are not really comparable. Completely different in all area's.
Great stuff...but I wish Fender would have offered a few more color options...already having a goldtop LP....I really don't want another gold-ish guitar and I'm sorry but that blue is hideous
That's exactly why I got the gold. I'm a Fender guy and I have my 2 tone vintera modified Strat, silverburst Tele, 3 tone sunburst distressed HSS strat and Sonic blue. I love gold tops but hate playing LPs and sgs. So I got the gold. The goods actually beautiful IRL.
What is your amp your using
A tad less reverb would of been nice. but thanks good demo.
What’s the name of the song starting from 23:00 ?
It's an original song of mine called "Life".
