Squire should definitely do your signature model! Squire Absorber, that sounds wicked

Any one else notice how his hair waves in the air lemme just say it’s pretty awesome

That's a killer mod job! Why would you spend $1300 on a Tom DeLonge Strat when you could have a Squier Absorber!

Also, the HB locking tuners are VERY good! They hold up really well even playing multiple gigs

That's a pretty cool little squire you got there now. These rebuild breakdown videos are always a lot of fun

Came for the Sonic Strat and Kirby, stayed for the music and Homer! Amazing stuff!

Thanks SO much for this! Been super curious for a couple months about the routing on the HT, this was exactly the info I was after. Bought one immediately after seeing this vid and can’t wait to start modding it! Thanks again

Thank you for opening it up! You're the first one I've seen actually show the rout and it is all kinds of ready for some MAD SCIENCE!

Die Gitarre ist einfach extrem cool geworden! Das pink und schwarze ergänzt sich einfach perfekt. Und dann noch Kirby 😍. Hört sich auch richtig gut an. Gute Arbeit!

I was a bit hesitant about these sonics at first but i REALLY like the purple tele im definitely thinking about trying it now

That guitar looks absolutely amazing. Good work!

That guitar is actually a thing of pure beauty! I wanna do one myself now! 🤣

Love me a pink guitar. Also love watching you saw *towards* your fingers with no protection. I expect Don’t Close Your Eyes next time!

This was an awesome video!! You reallly transformed that into a beast. Cheers from Nova Scotia

Those squiers look like so much fun to mod. Cool project man!

Wow I'm soooo glad I found this. I've been considering snagging one of these since I recently purchased an old Squier 7 string and fell in love. Wasn't sure if it was routed for HSH or not. Love what you did with it and you've basically sold me on it! Also subscribing now because your riffs are amazing!!!

I love the outcome of the guitar, awesome!!!

Nice! Love the Tuners. Thank You for your Video!

That's just bad ass! I'm absolutely in love with it.

Very cool guitar…excellent work…I would rock the shee-it outta that thing👍

Okay, i'm sold. Gonna grab the Esquire and do this same thing at some point.

Thanks for showing it is routed for HSH. i plan on putting a high output hum-bucker in the neck BUT hide it under the pickguard and use a push pull pot to engage it. Nice mod BTW.

Black TUSQ nut! Looks and sounds great, nice work! 🎸🤘🎸

That turned out great, huge fan of the 1 pickup 1 volume strats.

[Nintendo wants to know your location intensifies] This turned out pretty sick.

Dude hearing "Think This" was SUCH a pleasant surprise. Great taste

One of the most badass mods of all time. I love it!

Pink and black with maple looks killer too 🤘💀🤘

I have noticed that these Sonic series stay in tune for quite a while. Going on 3-4 days of grinding Rock smith arcade games and I still haven’t had to retune.

Need to build one now as a tribute to two guitars that were staples in my guitar learning My first guitar a red 2007 Slammer by Hamer SSS Strat that was absolute dog💩 that I got for $200 Canadian with an Line 6 Spider 2 15w and then my Rocksmith Edition 2011 Epiphone Les Paul Junior. Mod plans: -higher end hard tail top loading bridge (probably Gotoh) - Seymour Duncan distortion bridge - body match the headstock and back of the neck - black pickguard 3D printed to support Gotoh’s 510 wraparound bridge - Gotoh standard tuners or Harley Benton Locking tuners.

I've been waiting for this for three hours since i watched that 1st squire video. +points for kirby

Thank You for all you do .

That's awesome. 😆 I'd deffo rock that guitar, any day of the year.

Looks rad!

Came out nice!

The modding videos are always my favourites

Ended up ordering one of these to mess with as well. So looking forward to getting it in the post.

Great job 👍

Man that fishman is doing god's work

I am so glad that you are happy with your Sonic. After waiting weeks and weeks i finally got a Sonic Mustang SS on Friday. Sadly, it was in such terrible condition, i returned it the next day. I was so upset, really, since the wait was 5 weeks (or more?) and to have it delivered in the condition i received it.....felt like knives in my gut.

Nice job brother 👍

Yeah, this guitar is sick!

I was heavily considering this guitar for my daughter as her first electric. Thanks to you this completely confirms that I’m going to make the correct decision. Thanks for this man!

Keep it up with these, and I might have to make a Jim Root inspired modded Squier strat lol

Thank you KZfaq recommended. This is awesome! Honestly I’ve thought about buying one and doing the same lol

This gives it even more of an 80s kinda vibe. I like what you did a lot.. though I bought the same guitar and am keeping mine pretty stock.. maybe I will replace the pickup at some point.

A thing of beauty

Looks and sounds great 😂

Kickass name for the guitar!

Thats a sick looking guitar..sounds amazing with the fishman..i was looking at getting the new tom delonge signature..now im seriously contemplating getting the pink sonic strat.. with a custom hello kitty pickgaurd with a slight alteration. New pots, bridge, tuners and a seymour duncan invader...decisions decisions.. sny advice on what i should get.. great vid bro..respect from the UK and a new subscriber right here..

7:54 Is that DT's The Enemy Inside? Nice!

That guitar is sick bro

Awesome video

Excellent, now I have to do this.

Nice glasses man 👍 definitely better than the Mia Kalifa ones 🤓. Cool vid too

exhorder went hard on the squier

the Squier Sonic Series tremelo systems are surprisingly good!

That's sick brotha! Would love to have you on my Rockland Revolution podcast.

super dope

It needs a hello kitty sticker

Your volume is your tone knob and you get more vibration out of the strings without the neck pick up even though it’s off the magnets are still pulling the strengths

Badass bro! Should've done a black tusq nut and string tree to complete the look tho. ;)

if i were you, i would have also replaced the silver pickguard screws with black ones. still, very nice!

Ive been wanting to build a guitar like this for ages i love it but i think it would look cooler if you replace all the hardware screws with black ones an put a black roller string tree on the headstock

The slayer riff at 1:27 whose name I can't remember to save my life sounded so good even before any modifications to the guitar.

Sick

Pink - um, no. But fair play to you, your mods are awesome and it sounds killer. Kix - yeah man!🤘 I saw them many times back in the '80s when I lived in Washington DC and my old band even opened for them once in 2004. Great memory.

Some people dream about doing the mods Kaylen does... I dream of having such a glorious hair as Kaylen has.

These are really similar to the hello kitty strats. Dope mod platform

thanks for this video, was wondering whether these guitars were routed HSH or only for the pickups it has. Glas to see it can easily be modded with extra pickups 👍👍

And a nice Toxic riff included! 😁 Anyway. nice one. Now you only need some black screws and string guide.

Strats need more hardtails! My dad has a Strat FSR With an HSH but the middle pickup is a telecaster

Desecrator!!! That whole album is a riff bulldozer, very nice inclusion of some Exhorder.

Welp, guess I found my next project! Thanks! Hahaha

Might go for a black ine and have an anodised gold pickguard, ive been looking for a project

Wish these came in more colors. I will hold out trying one until they come in white. EDIT: The pickup swap really helped with how the guitar sounded on the high strings. So much more output.

I just got mine, -pickups gain is pretty low -fret crowning is pretty acceptable -fret polish is bad and you can feel the scratches when bending -it keeps getting out of tune easily -neck has not any barnish and you can easily see the grinding. -fret leveling is ok Even with all of that Im sure this guitar can be turned into nice guitar with a little work I think this guitars will be good for moding

sneaking in an Exhorder riff in the demo, fuck yeah

Seriously, the only reason o buy an expensive guitar these days is simply because you want one! Cheap guitars are so good now!

You can't go wrong with a pink guitar and awesome stuff on getting endorsed by fishman...

i’m thinking of getting a cheap single pickup kramer or squier, and then getting it converted to a 24tet microtonal fingerboard, and then wrapping the body in gorilla tape.

Love toxik riffs

do you know if that guitar has a normal strat neck pocket ? i am curious if its possible to swap necks

Musiclilly hardware is solid aye eff.

I just dropped my squire esquire off to get locking tuners, new nut and a nazgul put in it lol

You should definitely do a video on the Amp 1 Iridium

I did something similar to a 200 eur squier i got time ago. Main diference is that i added a floyd and use decals instead of painting. wish i could send pics.

That thing is a buzzsaw.

Think I might have to get me the black one, Im sure I have a Dimarzio to stick in there. :)

Looks like it needs Shielding (Aluminum Foil Tape) on the electronic device. quite noisy in Distortion mode.

Give Kirby some long black hair and youll be done.

I didn’t know Steve Vai hosted this show!

Only other thing I would have done is install a black graph tech string tree!! 🤘🏻

Can you put a link to the bridge you used for ths project. Thanks. This came out really good. Great job.🎸

Doing something similar with my strat only I went hss with the fishman classic and two single coils

That sort of quack on the clean tone sounded really tits. I was expecting it to be unstratoguitar-like, but was pleasantly surprised. Fish Man pretty good.

Hi, Kaylen, could you provide more info on the Harley Benton tuners? Did they drop right in or did you have to drill larger holes on the headstock?

toll!

why not just drill a hole for the tone knob? i'm doing one with a black pickguard, and sd invader pickup but putting some white paint over that pink first

Totally love the project! What bridge did you use?
