The best thing is that this guy is playing music instead of doing bunch of licks. I started to hate guitar solos because I'm looking for a guitar for months now and almost 90% of the reviews are people soloing

[@alejulul2379]

most of these solos you find on on other videos are not even music. No discernible melody or harmony.

[@cieanehudson]

Amen.

[@Rantauk]

Can you guys tell me if this is a good guitar for beginners?

[@macster1878]

Agreed

[@atomgroup3179]

Damn! The only man who talks about neck dive among the numerous KZbin reviewers. Respect for that!

Struggles are real 🤘

[@nivek29]

Sounded brighter and more tele-like than I expected (a good thing in my opinion). Thanks for the video!

[@theguitarmanifesto]

I was quite surprised too, awesome guitar

[@neilentre1245]

I had one of these before and it sounds fantastic. Merges a lot of the great qualities that one would want out of a guitar. has some bite to it like a tele, but has the added benefit of the humbuckers

[@willk-lander5791]

Been hearing about these classic vibe telecasters for a while now. My mate who works in guitar center as a manager told me one came in.. he played it then bought it himself, so when another come in that was a hollow body with two humbuckers I picked it up played it and the hype is true... just bought it myself. These are great guitars at unbelievable prices.

[@michaelketley876]

These are an excellent guitar. When mine arrived it needed one very minor adjustment - one of the saddles was slightly higher than it should be. Otherwise the guitar was absolutely fine - no apparent faults, looked good, played well, sounded great. I would thoroughly recommend one of these.

[@ToshStuart]

These are really good value, 11’s will make a tremendous difference although you will have to recut the nut slots. The “f” hole can be improved by very careful work with fine sandpaper and then varnish on a soft cloth to the exposed area but don’t scratch the top !

Nice looking axe! I'm not really a fan of unpainted guitars, but that had some sweet grain which showed up beautifully with the high gloss finish. I have two Squiers and love them. Well affordable, well built, and play as well as anything. I think they deliver alot more for your dollar than many people expect. What do you think about the semi hollow versus solidbody? Any noticeable difference other than a slight neck drop? Good to see you reviewing again, Cheers!

[@theguitarmanifesto]

Yeah the wood grain and finish really pops 👌 it's a tough one definitely notice it acoustically but with it being only half semi acoustic I'd say there's not much difference. Maybe a heavy chunk of wood resonates more ? The difference IMO would be so minor

Love this Squiers. I hope I can mod mine soon.

Maple is always used for the top or face of the guitar because it has a nice grain and looks nice. The poplar would be used for the body because its lighter and has a grain which is less prominent so they use it where the grain won’t be seen like for the body.

[@MUSIC4EVA55]

I have one I purchased around 2017, it has Fender engraved on the pickups. I got it for a very good price, they even included a hard shell case free, for about $450 Canadian, . but I later discovered that the bridge was slightly off center, by about .5 mil. I think that explains the low price. I had my favorite luthier remove the bridge, fill the holes, and properly locate the bridge. Luckily he's a friend and works cheap. I am not enamored of the tone, so it's not a regular player but it is a nice looking, and "now" a playable instrument and until I find a '72 tele original, it will do.

[@jayjkayhouseofharleys3151]

AWESOME !! I LOVE THAT GUITAR ROB !! I'M LOOKING AT GETTING ONE MYSELF !!

[@theguitarmanifesto]

It certainly looks the part, I'm a bit disappointed with the pickups if I'm honest

[@paulmblythe43]

I used to own the deluxe solid body version. I really loved the guitar but didnt like the pickups either. They where very dark. They arn't proper wide range pickups. Just normal Gibson style ones made to look like wideranges

[@egotram]

I used to have the proper Fender version. Paid 499 about 20 years ago. Was a reluctant sale a few years later so may pick one of these up. Cool song dude

[@jamiemaldonado2389]

I just bought this same model in mint condition for $200 bucks! Only the neck and some saddles needed adjustment to my liking. I play a lot of Texas Country and rock music. It’s a beefed up Telecaster IMO and I love it!! I haven’t tried out the MIM or the new Vintage II to compare but I’m interested to hear if anyone has had the opportunity.

[@michaelhirstny]

I just bought one of these, and I have to say, out of the box, this one of the best guitars I've ever purchased. I've owned several American Fenders and played a lot of great Gibson guitars, so I"m factoring in those in my opinion. If you want a do it all guitar that likes getting dirty, plays beautiful clean, has something a little different, this is the guitar. Squire has come so far in the last 5 or so years. Play one and I think you'll be hooked!

[@wonyoungkoh309]

Awesome demo! Thanks!

Never liked electric guitars with accoustic future (dont know how to name it), but starting to like Telecasters shape... Thinking of getting one, but with Hot Rails or Duncan JR, what do you think about that setup? For grunge/punk of course

[@theguitarmanifesto]

Yeah them pickups would be much better than the stock pups for sure

[@BeforeTheDarkAge]

Keep the bridge pickup like a tele they just got suck a nice bite to them and great for punk prog or anything. Do what you want with the neck though never was a fan of the regular tele neck pickup.

[@scottchaney56]

I traded for one of these and the only thing I did to it was upgrade the pots. It plays as well as any guitar I have, some of which are worth 3-4X what you'd pay for this. Good job on the demo

[@alansturgess1324]

Recently bought one of these. To a large extent, I was persuaded after first seeing this upload of yours some months ago. I think my Thinline came fitted with 9's or possibly 10's, but 9's seem more likely. When I restring I'll be fitting D'Addario 11-49s although I'm considering 12s. I didn't find any issues with roughness on the f-hole but that would be solved very easily. These are really good guitars and the action can be set REALLY low if that's what you want. I also found that the tone control offers a really wide range of changes unlike the tone control on my Squier Strat which, to be honest, is shite and does hardly anything. Of the two, this is the one I'll be keeping. Thanks for an excellent review and demo - I always like to hear clean tones before overdrive or distortion. The sounds you got match pretty closely with that I hear on my thinline - but KZbin tends to compress sound too much and there is in fact more difference between the 3 settings than you were able to give us. Blame KZbin for that. Good job. Bell rung.

[@lowtone9]

If your tone control doesn’t do much, put in a higher value cap.

[@drzainnas]

Thank you great demo very appreciated, regarding your input about the body according to fender the body is Laminated Maple with Alder center block which makes it affordable wood price 👍👍

[@douglaschristine8387]

Thanks for the review . I'm buying one. Probably the Olympic white with a black pickguard. I'll have to see how the paint looks close up because I hate the flat dull paint that Epiphone Led Paul's came out with. If my guitar don't shine. I might even go with the natural. It looked really sweet. Yeah I'm sold. Thanks to everyone in the comments too for giving a straight up. Cheers.

[@wastewoodrockers5526]

The Guitar Manifesto Yeah, I try to do their things as well as covers one my channel but there certainly are a lot of cover channels.

[@qwargy]

Bought one 2 years ago. The pickups had fender logos, the new ones don’t. Also mine is nice and light whereas the newer ones are really heavy . I suspect the older ones are better. Never less I changed the pickups to Cats Whiskers as the originals didn’t have the clarity I wanted. Also changed the tuners as originals wouldn’t stay in tune. The sound is now very good but both e strings fall off the frets occasionally as they bevelled the edges too much, maybe it was just mine. I’m thinking of swapping out neck with one where the frets go right up to the edge.

[@joserra79]

Better to bring it to a good luthier and those problems will go away. Sometimes it´s better a proper setup than upgrading things.

[@theguitarmanifesto]

Proper decent guitars 🤘💯

[@globalnova]

I just bought the newer white one with block inlays. It is aesthetically a beautiful thing, I put some goldish LP style knobs which match the colour of the neck and blackened the edge of the f hole and man does it look good… I wish they would have put top binding though, then it would look even better. I’m gonna try to fake the binding with high quality stickers. (Can take off if no good anyway).. the weakest part, and this is personal preference, are the pickups, which sound a little thin/ tinny to me but this can be compensated for somewhat with EQ. Am thinking about re-spraying it in some funky colour but the white is so damn nice too… arghhhh decisions.

[@theverseshed]

I've had one of these guitars for some time and have found it to be as faultless in terms of construction and finish as you say. The only change I made was to de-gloss the neck which has made it super smooth and comfortable. I have found that the three pickup selections have very distinctive tones and that the tone control has a very wide range of effects - unlike a Fender PLayer Strat I had where the tone control did hardly anything. Personally, I prefer the 2nd selection (both pickups) with the tone rolled back slightly. I usually play clean or with minimal overdrive to add an edge. An all-round great guitar. Mine weighs in at a tad over 7lbs, so is as comfortable as a Tele can be. Thanks for your very fair and detailed review - with clean tones before anything heavier.

Agree about the neck & fretboard finish, would prefer natural/unfinished all around like on the Affinity series Teles. Looking at a floor/demo model in 3-tone sunburst, trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger. Not sure I like the sound of the wide-range humbuckers though, way too thin/tinny in my opinion.

[@douglaschristine8387]

That's why I was discouraged, they sound cheap and chimy, too bad for such a cool looking guitar.
