I tried one out at Guitar Center and loved the feel of the neck. They had it on sale for $299. Went back the next day and grabbed it before someone else did. After a quick setup it plays as good as my Plekd Fender Player Strat. Definitely a steal!

Find one if you can bro. I had a 2016 Chinese classic vibe 50s strat that I beat myself up for selling. Funny enough, 4 years later, I found a 2018 Chinese classic vibe 50s strat in the same color that sounds and plays just like my old one!!! The Chinese classic vibes are INFINITELY better than the Indonesian ones. I hate the Indonesian new classic vibes, they feel and sound dead in comparison to the Chinese ones. I bought an Indonesian CV and hated it and played many. But yeah man, find another Chinese classic vibe and jump on the deal when you see one! Best of luck!

That’s my guitar! Yeah, it was love at first sight, and I couldn’t resist the prices these were selling for at the beginning of December. We’ve even inseparable ever since. It’s a perfect fit for my humble abilities, taking the place of (at least temporarily) a 2000 Les Paul Historic I’ve been playing for 20 years. Great to see what this humble Squier is capable of in the hands of an expert. Thank you. I think the build quality of mine is a little cleaner, although I was having trouble with the nut causing some tuning issues, but that seems to be sorting itself out the more I play it. I love the pickups. They really are producing those classic Strat tones I was looking for when I bought this. Best purchase I’ve made in a long time.

I am 100% with you, this is hands down the prettiest of this Squire range.

Some really beautiful runs & likes there I'd really like to steal...if only I had the ability. I'm envious. Also, I don't think 'sloppy seconds' was quite the descriptive choice you ment to say ha ha.

My first guitar, which I still have, was a 90's era Korean made Squier with a humbucker in the bridge. Love that guitar, but never really had a desire for a more classic strat with the three single coil setup. Then, I saw this model in a local shop, 30 years later. MAN this is a good guitar!!!

The anodized aluminum pick guard is the biggest selling point of this guitar man. It has been a staple of the Fender line for 60 years. Wow.
@GCKelloch 10 ай бұрын
Yep. The paramagnetic Al in that thickness creates eddy currents in the pickup coils that cause a -2dB shelf above 1kHz, and also an eddy current reaction to the flux lines from the strings that further reduces the upper-mids. The result is a more "liquid" tone, but there may also be some subtle microphonic effects from the pickguard vibrations

I just got a Squier classic Vibe 60s Stratocaster for Christmas and it sounds exactly like the real 60s Strat tone I've been missing in all my other frankenstrat guitars does the SRV "Lenny" thing in it's sleep. Same pickups as the 40th anniversary I believe. I love the way the neck feels and the way the guitar plays. After I did a full setup on it, it holds tune perfectly and plays great. Feels great in the hand. And the gold understated vintage spaghetti logo on the headstock does not scream "Cheap Squier" looks very much Fender from a distance :-)

I think the sharp edges are a regular thing with Fender unless rolled fret ends are on the spec sheet. Over time, they soften with playing. Squire tend to issue some amazing limited editions, but they are a red herrings that do not represent the overall quality of the lower ranges. This one, made in Cor-Tek’s factory in Indonesia is probably at the level if not above the Mexican stuff.

I also have a Chinese epiphone les Paul custom pro silverburst which is AWESOME! Any guitar you buy, you should ALWAYS try it first. NEVER BUY ONLINE, unless it’s a VERY specific guitar that you want that you don’t live near or something like that. Other than that, it’s worth it to try a guitar in person to make sure you love it.

I see a few issues with squiers, even classic vibes. I had problems QC wise (around 2019/2020), dinged finishes (I ordered the purple Pete telecaster CV from Anderton's and believe the ding was from factory) Poor quality hardware, okay-ish woods, all scratched up finishes, and just general downgrades from the previous ones made in china imo. The pickups sound great, that's an improvement I think. I think the best bang for the buck fenders are the classic series. I got one a few years ago, I love this strat, proper woods, proper hardware, just changed the pickups and that's it. Fit and finish is perfect

All of the blemishes you mentioned in the first five minutes can be cured with a good setup.

I saw this at guitar center for $299, really thinking about getting it, specially due to me having some extra SSL pickups.

I have a Squier FSR Custom Tele Classic Vibe Baritone . Nice guitar...while you can still get a new Squier baritone for under $500-USD I paid $579 for mine due to the custom color (purple sparkle). I tend to think any guitar in your hands will sound great ! p.s....just saw a recent video on Andertons UTube page....and apparently Chris Buck's playing a Yamaha Revstar. Really digging those guitars....

@@imactuallyih3697 I'm just so used to the ease of a thin ibanez style neck, plus I'm more of a HS layout guy and am really more comfortable on 7 strings rather than 6s (not exclusively for metal mind). I do have a real weird partscaster strat laying around that I call 'the bullshitcaster' which has a mini rails humbucker in the bridge and a tele set in the middle and neck and a comparably thin old strat copy neck, but that thing is so characteristically not a strat that I don't think it can count. I do like playing it when the mood strikes though.

I ordered 3 from Thomann. The first one had a small crack in the handle. the second seemed to have been cut with a knife at the rounded edges. The third has a good finish, I kept it, but the most surprising thing is the difference in weight between the models. A difference of 700 grams (1.54324 pounds) between the first and the third. Is it a good sign to have more weight?

I was this close to buying a player Stratocaster, but so glad that I didn't, I have heard about all of these issues. I'm going to go with one of those PRS that dropped this week instead, and avoid all of that!
@adriansoul7223 Жыл бұрын
@@seanmurphy26 I completely despise squier at this point. i ordered a tele too and it was the same, heck i ordered a gretsch in that price range and it was exactly the same. Same wrapping too, since they're all from the same factory. Fender sucks and anyone who says it's good is about the brand or just doesnt mind trash QC since they dont mind setting up their own instruments. If i order a guitar i expected to come ready for work. Might as well get a DIY set if not.

Hey Adrian! Thanks for sharing your experience too. I think if I'd found obvious issues I'd have just returned this one, but honestly I'm quite impressed and it's not much different in terms of quality to the Silver Sky SE or Mexican Players that I've played?
@adriansoul7223 Жыл бұрын
@@johnnathancordy I had a few dead notes, rough frets and funnily enough I had the exact same issue you had with the neck pickup on my tele: it was really dull and dark sounding. I guess if you manually fix those issues and replace pickups you have a really good guitar, but I'm too lazy for that.

I picked this one up today in the guitar store and it felt so good in my hands I could have played for hours. The only problem is it isn’t in pick. I keep wanting to between this and the 60s classic vibe in pink. this is SOOO SEXY. What do you suggest or feel?
@LLSicilia 9 ай бұрын
that particular model in sonic blue, gold p/ guard and cream plastics is a gorgeous combination..you wont regret buying it over pink. the tinted neck is also a big draw card. definitely the nicest squier ever, i agree & glad i bought one, even tho i didnt need it,aka GAS panick
