Can you make a SQUIER play and sound as good as a VINTAGE FENDER?

[@KRE808]

Loved this! Especially the honesty - lots of positivity and rah rah on guitar KZbin but not enough of direct talk. Enjoyed the playing and various atmospherics, could listen to an album of that. Guitar looks sick in my opinion, especially that black headstock!

[@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidharding200]

That’s why I love the Jaguar. After 40 years of playing blues licks I pick up the Jag and it just inspires something completely different- just as you’ve played. Nice work.

[@aloneness02]

dude, sounds is completely awesome. good noise

[@jimiwills]

Sounds lush. I also have a bunch of "cheap", heavily modded guitars. Except for the £750 one which I'm almost too afraid to take out of its case.

[@trevorarthurson6815]

Got a Squier 70s Jag 4 days ago. Didn’t spend a cent on it, just gave it a proper set up. It feels, plays and performs every bit as good as my American Deluxe V Neck Strat.

[@deadass3954]

I normally buy cheap guitars and mod them cause it’s fun and an experience and with doing that you can get gems sometimes trash but when you pick up a guitar and imagine how it sounds and plays to you …I say you should chase that and make it sound the way you imagine it to instead of struggle and hate the guitar cause of the voice …I hated my Ibanez for years till I ripped the guts out and it’s the best sounding guitar I have to me and it’s a dream I love it so much and it was a challenge but fun so definitely recommend modding cheap things

[@conorfowler]

Great video man, looks and sounds beautiful. Heartbreaking stuff when the soldering iron hit the finish, but you fixed it up nicely!

[@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos]

Combination of clumsiness and concentrating on talking to provide CONTENT...I nearly quit KZbin that day! Haha. Cheers pal

[@heianombra]

I keep seeing these vibrato arm which are smoothly rounded instead of having the sharp bend like the one this and other guitars come with. Did you bend it or where does this come from? Thank you I loved the video, the sounds are so great!

[@TommySurfink]

Oh man, you say you don't play guitar too much but you sure know how to get some beautiful sounds out of that beast. And yes, I've got two 2nd hand Squiers (JM and Jag) for exact the same reasons that you stated.

[@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos]

Cheers buddy you are too kind.

[@danielcarter3928]

what pickups did you go with?

[@pedroberoes49]

I have a CIJ mustang that I am thinking about selling to get a CV Jag and put many upgrades on it, should I do it?

No. Buy mine from me.

[@jonathanschafer8244]

What pedal are you using 9min 30sec.

[@CalicoRiot]

Great video! I'm gonna reach out to home of tone for some of these pickups. Your guitar sounded excellent.

[@Ricky-nr6ls]

What pedal is at 7:51?

[@calvinevans6347]

I just can't vibe with mine. Maybe they're more for Sonic Youth type noise and not necessarily beautiful melodies. From now on, when i decide to play it, I'll experiment with making noise-music.

[@iiaaiiaannaaiiaaii]

Love it!

[@TelecasterMaster1]

Absolutely loved it! Cool vid. Would love to hear it up against the vintage Jag.

[@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos]

Really want to do that, will be slightly hard as they have different gauges and tunings. But hopefully do something.

[@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos]

Oh and cheers!

[@LittleFoilFish]

Those pickups sound nice

[@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos]

Yeah man cheers, I am super pleased with them.

[@LittleFoilFish]

@@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos Clean is really nice and good clarity too. I was looking at Creamery or Fender Pure Vintage Jag set for replacements as my CV Jag is way too microphonic. These would be nice too. I'll enquire I hope you have a change of heart and upload your soldering vid. Most people are soldering amateurs so seeing someone else struggle and be successful would be cool. Don't be pussy! :D

Squiers are very great with few mods. But I don’t like the neck, too modern (radius and frets) . Love your last clip .

Cheers buddy, see I like aa skinny neck.

[@teensupertiger]

@@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos what did you do with the back of the neck? I find it sticky. Someday I need to sand it a bit.

[@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos]

Hey! Thanks. If you give James a message at home of tone he will be sure to make sure you get the right electronics for your Jaguar. I just went standard parts from him. You can even get him to prewire everything. Hope that helps?

[@DestroyingAmpsGearDemos]

Yeah that drives me nuts 😂 i don’t mind "Jag-u-are" at all. Still sounds cool. Technically it was created by Fender so it’s a "Jag-wahr," but just please never say "jag-wire"! Hahaha
