Thanks so much Ploupe, I am happy if you think this was worth a listen 🙂 I’m just trying to play better than yesterday, and have a little fun at the same time 😬
God that jam was awesome...tone, playing, deserves looooot more views ! It'll sure come ! I remember we talked about the California series...should have bought it 😉😂 Looks wonderful, love the overall aged look...but as you mentionned you carried this one around everywhere, it's been played and played well I can tell...that's the best !
Oh man, thats very kind of you, thanks so much.. Sometimes I watch these videos and all I can see is bad playing lol btw hope your wonderful Squier is doing well!
Hey I have this guitar except mine is different color. Body I’d call burgundy and the fretboard is some kind of darker unfinished wood, looks too light for rosewood though, so idk. I just removed the neck on mine and skunk stripe is definitely real on mine because there’s a hole where it ends on the heel.
Hey, that's cool. I would love to have another one of these. I briefly had a california telecaster with a mystery "rosewood" of sorts fretboard, but that guitar was horrible in every aspect. So I think these California Squiers are a bit all over the map in terms of quality? Which is weird considering this Squier Strat in my video is a good guitar. How do you like yours? Oh yes, at the time I made this video I don't know why I said this, but the skunk stripe is definitely real.
@@rafaelzengo5534 idk, factory defects wise, heel screws screw in at an angle, original bridge is meh and insides aren’t pretty. Mine is a hand-me-down though. I got it around 2008 and it was already pretty used (neck heel has 2005 stamped on it) it was never set up properly and barely played, I’m using it as a little project now, hoping to bring it into a better condition
Hi, yes, it's a nice little guitar. Not sure what you mean by category, but this is an extinct series from the early 2000s that was intended for the asian and south american markets.
Let me fill in some blanks here. I had one of this Strat model back in 2006., but mine was rosewood fretboard. Since I'm not an expert, what i can tell you guys is California Series is considered a budget version of the guitar. Even lower than Bullet. It was made in China.
@@shinobi880127 "The Squier Bullet guitars are made of laminated wood, unlike the Squier California, which is made of Masisa wood. Therefore, that is already a point in favor of being above the Bullet series."
@@rubendelgado4370 Probably right on that. But back in the day, the price between this and Bullet suggested the otherwise, even though the difference were not too steep. Thus why i believe Bullet is better built. Just my thoughts.
Squier used to inform on its website years ago that it’s Basswood, and I believe mine is basswood indeed, but I also believe it can vary for this line; I briefly had a Squier California Telecaster which could have been made out of matchboxes or something similar, it was a terrible kind of wood and not appropriate for a guitar at all.
I wouldn’t mind if I had a scale. I can make a guess for now.. it’s probably above the 3kg mark. It’s not one of the heaviest guitars I’ve seen but not among the lightest. If I get to weigh it I’ll tell you.
You’re an underrated you tube guitarist !!! Thank u 🇫🇷👍🏼🍒

@@Nikita13337 Yes, I remember the original bridge, it wasn't too good. The ceramic pickups were quite microphonic. My guitar has changed a lot.
I own this piece in tobacco sunburst.❤
That’s very nice! How do you like it?
The Squier California sounds very good
What category is the California series in?
Hi, yes, it's a nice little guitar. Not sure what you mean by category, but this is an extinct series from the early 2000s that was intended for the asian and south american markets.

Hi Rafael. How are you? It's on sale? Thank you so much
Hi, yes it is, sent you a voice message on facebook messanger last weekend
Does anyone know how to inform the wood of construction of the body of this model?
Squier used to inform on its website years ago that it’s Basswood, and I believe mine is basswood indeed, but I also believe it can vary for this line; I briefly had a Squier California Telecaster which could have been made out of matchboxes or something similar, it was a terrible kind of wood and not appropriate for a guitar at all.
I have one, I bought it used without knowing what it was. Do you know what year did Squier make this series? Early 2000s?
Yes, from early to late 2000s. When the classic vibe line was introduced, they probably dropped the California model.
Got one in 2003, birthday present when I was in school. HSS - but mine's an anniversary edition with a fat CBS-style headstock.
05:06 Would you mind weigh this guitar in Kg ?
I wouldn’t mind if I had a scale. I can make a guess for now.. it’s probably above the 3kg mark. It’s not one of the heaviest guitars I’ve seen but not among the lightest. If I get to weigh it I’ll tell you.
