Congratulations on the Christmas gift! And congratulations on the fiancé that would get you that gift!!! Once I change the strings, everything got fixed just put more winding on it :) cheers

@@unlockyourlute thanks for the advice and the response! I’ll try that before replacing the tuners. I haven’t owned an electric in quite a while. When I did I always used slinky’s. And recommendation on strings for electrics?

@ everybody personal taste is different however, mine I usually use D’Addario 10 gauge standards.

@ that’s what I put on my epiphone jumbo 200

I’m glad the review helped! I’m going to be doing a follow up video in the next month or two for a follow up to my experience so far and and modifications I’ve made to the Guitar. To Be honest, most of the unclear sound is completely alleviated. Thank goodness because this guitar is amazing other than that.

@@unlockyourlute thanks for the additional info

I concur that tens usually fix the issue, but it’s usually a nut slot issue At its core (usually). I’m doing a follow up review on this guitar. I ended up returning this one and getting a different one and has none of the issues that are in this review. The video will be becoming in the next month or two.

Good to hear! I’m gonna be doing a follow up review in the new year but in short, I have not been able to put the guitar down and I have played too many fender strats to count. I hope it brings you as much joy as it has me.

@@Iggxzy this is my favorite Les Paul I’ve ever owned. If you like teles and you like Les Pauls then it’s a no-brainer in my opinion

@M0ffMaid spot on…you nailed it…. But in Swahili it’s translated as Mario bros 2

@@isaacescalera9643 no problem whatsoever. Glad it helped. I’m gonna be doing a follow up vid in about a month as I’ve had some time to sit with it for a bit and have some updates on the instrument of things I’ve learned in short this guitar is definitely a banger. Can’t put it down.

@unlockyourlute looking forward to it. Hopefully not spoiling your next vid but what gauge strings did you end up putting on it?

@ no spoiler at all. I use 10s

@@NewPolygons Hey thanks for stoping by. It’s an original composition I wrote called Y&Z. I did a tutorial on how to play it on the channel. Thumbnail shows Jazzy jazz.

@@unlockyourlute awesome thank you!

@@giantrobot9000 I exchanged mine for a brand new one. No issues from this review are present. Highly recommend this guitar. Pick ups are more of a taste thing that will be present for most guitars that I pick up… pun intended ;) I’m going to be doing an update to this video after things get settled from hurricane Helene we’re still without power or cell service (running on generator).

@@MrAcollett the nut is supposedly bone. And I already replaced the gold top in this video with another gold top and it has zero of the issues that this one has. Definitely was a nut issue (for string slippage)

I’m going to be doing an update video. They reached out to me and offered to send me a new one. Which I’ve received and has none of the problems that were in this video at all. The one that you are referring to is most likely the one from this video. That’s hilarious!

I used a bigsby B5 and installed it via a vibramate v5 standard ez mount. I’m assuming you are referring to the Vibramate for the “adapter”? If so, I would watch the rest of the video towards the end where I do the install :) if that did not answer your question or if you have any further questions after that, feel free to ask away.

@unlockyourlute will any standard bigsby B5 and vibramate kit work or do I need to search for a tele specific one?

its an original etude that will be coming out on my channel in the coming weeks called "cliff dweller" stick around and stay tuned

@@danellsworth6203 D’Addario (planet waves) self trimming lockers. Got them directly from the D’Addario site and as for cost I used points I had built up so I don’t know how much they retail for off the top of my head. So far I’ve been VERY impressed. Highly recommend.

As for this guitar I will be doing an update review and I’ll make sure I put some in. I use this guitar for some Prog rock style etudes on my channel. Stay tuned for my JS 500 review. I’ll make sure to put some metal in there ;)

@@methatlovescats3602 I changed from 9 gauge to 10 gauge because that’s the gauge I use. I think that the tuning issues had really to do with not enough wrap on the Tunning pegs…they work fine (for a non locking tuner).

that's AWESOME! I love this guitar too! I still cannot believe they made this thing... still feels surreal!

What did YOU think of the pickups?

@ not a fan of the pickups. Too thick without clarity for my liking. But to each his own. Great guitar though.

@@unlockyourlute I agree with you. I ended up getting a Player 2 tele HH instead and the pickups are amazing on that one.

🙏 thanks so much!

@@charleswallace5818 i’m glad your dad never had any issues as SGs are sweet!!!! And I 100% agree that they don’t just break. It’s just a weak point on those models design. Unfortunately, due to the nature of working on so many guitars i’ve seen les pauls and yes SGs come from the factory in undamaged boxes with broken necks and headstocks, and I’ve also seen the same thing happen while the Les Paul was inside of a Gibson hardshell case barely getting jostled. It goes to show you how amazing that style of guitar is that even with those types of experiences I still hold them in high regard. I’m just lazy and don’t wanna deal with those possible issues ;)

@@unlockyourlute yes sir, under some extreme conditions they can break. I love my Fenders, and thanks for sharing and being honest about the squire. Have a blessed day

@@charleswallace5818 for sure! right back at ya!

@@P3photo ya as much as it is a subjective thing whether you like the Pickups or not, I think what is not subjective is the pickup’s frequencies that are pronounced. IMO I can make these pickups sound good but it’s a lot of squeeze that I have to do for the little juice that I get…again IMO.

@@Josue-r5r it’s SHEEP 🐑!…. sheep simulator. they are two completely different animals. 🤦‍♂️

@@AveragAnimator no it’s actually plants versus zombies part two

Yes….yes it is. But in Japanese, it’s translated as Roblox.

Yes, it goes by many names…. in Spanish It’s called Fortnite.

Yes….but if you use Google translate from Japanese to Spanish and then into Russian, it roughly translates out to “portal”….

@@scottmelton3092 glad I could help! Stay tuned for the next few parts series as we’re going to get into the nitty-gritty of how to play chords/scales and full on melodies with natural harmonics.

@@6stringsandwood05 that has been my experience. Love squier

@@Markleford sage wisdom!

@@DefinitelyNotYT I can’t help it. It’s so beautiful.

@@unlockyourlute if you want it so bad, I will allow you to make one short every other Monday.

@@DefinitelyNotYT thank you arbiter 🙏

@@whaleshark2625 Personally not much, however I’m very familiar with how to navigate the bigsby system, And how I use the push/pull system it won’t be an issue.

@@unlockyourlute thank you!

@@jaymelynnmcintyre8574 what kind of music would you be playing if gigging with it?

@@DefinitelyNotYT yes hence the title.

@@dennisrohm6372 that sounds sweet!

@@Sirojss-fr-OG100 thanks for the ups! More to come

Thanks!

@@gilku4725 Lace alumitone splittable humbuckers :)

Stock strings on squiers are just Fender strings. Not my favorite either, but not awful.
