I grabbed a Squire from a pawn shop because the color was so perfect and I had never seen it before. I planned on making the color myself. Instead of using it for parts it became my favorite thing to abuse. It is a ride or die piece of equipment that needs to be saluted. I like it better than any of my Gibson guitars.

Gems are everywhere. Our hands fingers are all different shapes sizes and textures. I watched my father play a whole Iron Butterfly synth solo on a corduroy lazyboy recliner a pickup accidentally fell into.

I love these guitars, for the value you get with them. In fact, I just like these guitars. But I also like to tear em' up!! LOL I have made 2 "Jack-Casters" or "Strato-Jacks" with these guitars. My fave is a Squier Standard Body (Full Thickness) that I bought years ago. Red Black Fade. Threw the neck off my JS11 onto that body. PERFECT fit. Literally. The guitar looks mega cool, and is a rocker! Gorgeous and a sweet player too. Did a second one on a Squier Body, & did the Black & White EVH paint-job. Equally awesome! Then I took one of the JS11 bodies & threw a Squier neck on it. Warren DeMartini style. Also a pretty cool project.

Nice yea this is my first one but I really love it I am also looking at the js32 hard tail but I have pickups on the way for some comparisons and your right for the money people can learn about set up and mods and not worry about tearing them up since there so cheap Thanks for commenting 🎸

@@KWM1972 yeah get like a hundred and fifty dollar cheap squire affinity series stratocaster, and put about two hundred dollars in upgrades then you got a nice guitar I'm going to try to put a Floyd Rose on one I want a Olympic white one with a regular white pick guard and gold hardware, humbucker in the bridge and roasted maple neck and fretboard with fat strat 70s style headstock how much you think that would cost to build? If you can make me one I'll pay about five hundred dollars plus ill buy the parts for it, I've seen your work and it looks great to me.

I have a JS24DKAM with caramelized maple neck and it's really good, neck feels awesome, and pickups are decent. The only thing I think i'll change is the nut to a graphite one, I think that's the only weak point because pickups aren't bad and it's more to a personal preference

It's good but it really needs a few upgrades if you want it to be better put some Seymour Duncan or demarzio pickups in and if it stays in tune well don't change the tuners, but if ir don't you might have to, i noticed with some budget friendly guitar's they are hit or miss in the tuners.

You do realize that China is a Nuclear Power? That CNC Machineing has LEVELED The Playing Field,? Tone wood Acoustic? Wood 🪵 matters in a 🎻 Violin of which I also play as well as guitar 🎸 🎵 and Piano 🎹... ⚡ 🎸 Electric Guitar Sound Wave is actually first an electric signal that goes through the signal chain. The Strings vibrate over the pickups they pick up the vibration thus sending it through the chain .. This goes all the way until it reaches the 🔊. Speakers Which Vibration from the speaker cons causes a disturbance in the AIR THUS A SOUND WAVE 🌊 this is what you hear. Acoustic in an electric guitar can only be heard a few feet away. Wood matters in a violin due to it's SMALL SIZE SO THE THIN TOP VIBRATION Of this note the sound post the bridge the F holes the tail pies & EBONY fret board making a difference. . No electric. An electric violin typically solid body not always but typically. The bigger an instrument is say a Parlor guitar vs a Jumbo guitar assuming not an Acoustic Electric Guitar just acoustic one. THE WOOD MAKES LEES A DIFFERENCE AS THE SIZE INCREASES DUE THE INCREASE IN THE BODY THUS MORE SOUND IS PRODUCED. Cheers 🍻🥃🥃🎸🎵🎶🎶🎶

@@KWM1972I had many issues with tuning stability on mine. I ended up getting rid of it in just a few months. A Squier or Epiphone at the same price point will get you a lot further, but if you jump up to the JS22 it's a huge improvement for not much more
