      RootsRockRebel Why is it worthless? I think it’s reasonable to want to hear a guitar at its best.

    • @RootsRockRebel
      @RootsRockRebel 6 років тому +11

      Because they're demoing $200 guitars through $2,000 worth of backline processing. The average consumer who buys one of these guitars will never get anywhere close to that kind of tone. Point being, with the right player and the right production values, like TheGhost5600 said, you can make the box the guitar came in sound great. The guitar itself becomes irrelevant in the final mix.

    • @majav15mg
      @majav15mg 6 років тому +2

      RootsRockRebel That’s a good point. I guess a better review would be using more accessible amps and no one recessing. But even with that being said, it does make the statement that amplification is 99% of a guitar’s sound.

    Dagan, I watched all 30 minutes of your video. I think you did a really nice service for all of us , even here in the States. These days, the guitar companies are giving you more quality for the money as in contrast to my days when here in the states we could buy a cheap guitar from a catalogue like SEARS or Montgomery Ward, when it came in, you could barely play the strings because the action was so high. These days a for a bit shy of $200 you can buy a decent axe as you are showing here.I have a bunch of these 'cheap basses' in my arsenal. I often play them at live gigs, even though I own Fenders, Gibsons, and Ricks,...I still enjoy my Squires and Epiphones and Ibanez's that cost a third of the price! The differences in quality of parts are what make the difference as one gets more seasoned in the 'guitar world ' of things. But, that is a natural progression of anything we do. Nice job, Cheers for you!

    If you are a beginner getting your first electric on a budget: definitely go with the squire strat. It is the best first guitar ever, and it’s great for the money.
    If you are getting a second guitar or a first electric with less of a budget, you NEED the SG G400 pro. It’s the best guitar on the list.
    Anyway, my first guitar was the squire, and my unbiased opinion is that it really is the best first guitar, and the sg I also have and it’s bloody awesome for the medium price.

    • @jgrossma
      @jgrossma 6 років тому +6

      Stephen, couldn't agree more. Bodies and necks are now being made with CNC machines, which makes them perfectly to spec at a fraction of a cost of having a human do it. Obviously QC and parts quality are still important, but even made in China instruments can be pretty good, and you can get something absolutely outstanding for well under $300 now. Its really to the point where, except for status, I don't think most players will see any advantage spending four figures on high end instruments.
      Just went over an Affinity Squier Strat; I was blown away by how good it was, because it was NOT always the case that Squiers were good. For $100 used, the thing had a nice hard gloss burst finish, perfect fretwork (dead level with smooth edges), functional tuners, and passable (admittedly not great) electronics. IMO, not much "prestige", but a perfectly serviceable instrument, and if you swapped out the electronics it would be FUNCTIONALLY not different than a Strat costing 5-7x as much.

      There's also something to be said about actually bad guitars. Like my BC guitar + amp combo that costs $80 new. The B string plays open as though I have a finger on it failing to play a harmonic. So playing that string without fretting makes it muffled/muted. And the amp sounds like it's a small bluetooth speaker being played into a plastic cup. If anyone's reading this, learn from my mistake, don't go the cheapest route and buy a quality budget guitar like the ones shown in this video!

    My favorite part is “....Slash!”
    I’ve got the squire Tele and it’s fantastic but I also have the Ibanez Mikro and it may be my favorite guitar of all time. Until I buy something new and that is my fave for a bit but i always go back to my mikro

      Squier tele is amazing imo really stacks up against some of the higher end fenders. My friend has a usa made telecaster and yes it's better but honestly not by much and I actually prefer the neck on the affinity it's soo easy to play.

      Mikey Newman yeah. A lot of people that I know were convinced that Appetite came out in the 1990s. I would show them the back of the CD, then they'd concede.

    • @alexanderestk
      @alexanderestk 5 років тому

      It's the fox! I never tried it. Strat sounds really good with heavy distortion for metal, like Slipknot for example. How does the Yamaha sound playing Slipknot?

    • @lil_weasel219
      @lil_weasel219 5 років тому +1

      @@alexanderestk i have not tried playing slipknot but the humbucker on the Pacificas comes reeaally handy with metal. With the pacifica you can achieve a wider range of tones than with a SSS strat. Now I dont know what kind of squier strat you have, it might be an HSS one

    after buying an affinity strat i can totally confirm that squier means some business. its a great guitar; good looks, nice finish, very comfortable, and decent pickups too. theyre not the greatest for high gain, but they can churn out some very very lovely clean and crunch tones

  • @draganm8239

    The Yamaha blew the Squier Strat away! The AFD sounded great also! Dagan can really play! Love his reviews! And he has a cool name....just missing an r. Lol. Similar to mine....Dragan. Dagan has very inspirational videos, I just had to subscribe!

      Mind you that is the cheapest squire strat and made in China...the Yamaha is a great entry level guitar but to be fair it would actually go up against a squire standard strat

    The first time I saw AC/DC was on Don Kishner’s rock concert. They opened for Black Oak Arkansas, a band with a recent hit in the US. AC/DC opened for them, and blew them the fuck away. BOA came on, played their one famous song and I went to bed because they were that bad.
    The SG was also used by Barry Goudreau when he played with Boston. Eric Clapton played one in the 60’s with a wild paint scheme. What a versatile Guitar.
