Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Demonstration

learningguitarn... In this video I want to demonstrate different sounds that you can get with a Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster in Open G Tuning.

[@dickgitaar2012]

Got this Telly and a "real"Fender '52 and a '73 Tele....The difference between the Squier and the others is.............a lot of money......so go to the shop and buy one as long as they are available...

[@nnm2rnmfgkre]

Good to know

[@teofaouaz]

You are right, dude. I used to spend too much time looking for the perfect tone. Now I know that the tone comes mainly from the musician, not from the gear. So it's worth spending serious time for improving the technique. Cheers!

[@myspanishtrainer9144]

No pick - you must be from Nashville ;) I actually love these Squire Teles.

[@sveinunghamre324]

Just ordered this guitar. Can't find a bad review of it and always wanted a Tele so had to have it. Looks sexy as shit as well!

[@allrain]

How's your experience three years later?

[@karlmartin849]

@@allrain Well I've had mine two years, and it's still going strong. I've made some upgrades since then.

[@MrTelecaster101]

The Vibrolux definitely won't hurt your tone! I just picked up the Classic Vibe Tele. in Tobacco Sunburst with the double binding and love it!!! Some of these Squiers are the best kept secret! You've given the best demo of these guitars I've heard! Damn' straight on the slide and you ain't too shabby with a pick either! Hell I'd jam with you anytime! Nice Demo!

[@FriggnDiggn]

I just picked one of these up. Mine is the Dark sunburst with Rosewood fretboard. The bridge and bridge pup are junk, but the neck pup is great, and a new bridge and bridge pup are easy fixes. Main thing is it feels and plays great. Best $375 Ive ever spent.

[@trvshardy]

If Derek Trucks played a tele, this is what it would sound like. I like the finger style. Gotta grow my nails out now. Righteous bro. Thank you for showing this. I am also reminded of when Jimmy page whipped out the Danelectro for White Summer/Black Mountain Side. It is inspiring.

[@shaindaman13]

Dude, you are the best slide player I've heard since Ry Cooder. Sincerely.

[@offstring2777]

Your interpretation is awesome, which means you don't need a 10000$ guitar to playfantastic. Bravo !

[@Learningguitarnow]

@ravenshield56 I agree. I'd like to put a seymour duncan in it sometime. It took some time to adjust the action, truss rod, and getting it where I like it. It's an amazing sounding guitar for that cheap. I can't really believe how much I like it.

[@promoted738]

Classic Vibe Teles are quite nicely made I think. I played a Thinline the other day and it was great. I might replace the bridge for the brass compensated saddled but other than that - pretty mint for under 400.00.

[@SamuelPHell]

Great sounds, thanks! I played one of these the other day and was seriously impressed. For the price it seems like a no-brainer.

[@PatrickCawley]

Thanks for the demo. I just ordered this exact same guitar from Thomann -- it should be with me in about 3/5 days, and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

[@joesteers4348]

These are very good guitars. The Squire Classic Vibe models are equivalent to some cheaper fender mexican models, really worth the money!

[@knikk77]

I hear alot of Ry Cooder (Crossroads movie music) here. Great playing! Nice Tele!

[@Learningguitarnow]

@frenzexperiment Thanks. It's a 1966 Fender Vibrolux.

[@pjmuck]

Really fantastic Teles for the money (and especially in the right hands. Excellent job, sir!). Tried one at a store recently and it came very close to my '52 RI, IMO, in looks and sound. The neck profile's not as beefy as the '52, which I prefer, for but I woudn't hesitate picking one of these up as a backup.

[@carlosalfredogutierrezvera4100]

JUST ONE WORD...MONSTER TONE....

[@RC-Flight]

Carlos Alfredo gutierrez vera That’s two words!

[@future4you]

Nice playing! One of my students buy one these Tele's kinda impressed.

[@guitaristaccountant]

Me like: 0) Shows that it doesn't matter what it says on the headstock - it's a bit of wood with wires...some old-fashioned electricality... it's the guy (or gal) plucking the g-string wot counts. Good job... well done... fae Scotland/via London Engerland

[@MichaelSole]

Nice slide work, I have the affinity version of this and I just got a black tele with p90s

[@HRC0051]

That is absolute BUTTER!!!!. Been seriously considering a build. I want a '51 Nocaster (people in hell want ice water, too) but I am not refinancing the house to buy one. So, why not build one to those specs and not have to worry about playing a chunk of gold. Great video johntuggle.

[@Learningguitarnow]

Mostly from the amp. For the really distorted tones I use an OCD. Thanks.

[@nelsondejesus2796]

The way ur playing the pickups are giving a bit of the mojo as far SDs you got alot of magic going on keep them!

[@Sargeslide]

These are sweet gits, and for the money, an amazing value. I have the other version, Vintage Blonde, and it is a killer little git I got used for 170$!

[@johnspring9079]

one of the best blues players about

[@Learningguitarnow]

@iagobroxado I don't think it needs a pickup change at all. Although I would really like to hear what a Seymour Duncan mini-humbucker would sound like in the neck position. Thanks a lot.

[@stevoe1000]

@Maafa1619 I''m happy with mine and I've had a USA Tele and a bassball bat joan jett gibson neck and I like all 3... no prefference but both the Tele's felt the best...

[@lorenzino1]

Hi ! I'm in a discussion with a music store to buy a Squier Telecaster, and the guy is Ok to let me pay in 4 or 5 times. I've enjoyed this demo, and I like this Telecaster's sound. That's why I wanna ask a simple question, easy to answer to : How much costs this Telecaster ? I'll buy one soon, perhaps before the end of the week, don't know cause I'd like to have a guitar that's sounding well, and affordable (like all of us !!!). Thanks by advance to who would be kind to answer to me. CIAO BYE !

[@stevoe1000]

@Maafa1619 Yeah I think it's getting that way now, better to make your own guitar to the specs you prefer....as it seems Fender etc are bringing out new ones all the time but nothing really different or special about them.....all the Warmouth stuff seems nice yes...

[@RedBunny]

I'm glad I stayed to watch the entire video, that was some amazing slide guitar XD

[@alessiodex]

I really love your super distorted sound.. great playing!

[@karnivorx]

I've heard some people say they are on par or slightly better than a MIM standard.

[@Learningguitarnow]

Tell us how you really feel. I would not say these guitars are toys by any means.

[@Learningguitarnow]

I haven't tried any of the other models.

[@stevoe1000]

@Maafa1619 Idon't agree....I have one of these and it's perfect...great action, exellent neck, nothing wrong with a slim neck at all, good if you don't have giant fingers....and the quality is amazing all the way---- classic vibe...and it sounds like it...BUT put on a modern pedal and you can get amazing rock metal tones too....

[@musicforindies]

watched this 3 times! the squire is cool but you're a legend, nice playin' ! wow that blew me away.

[@vadeiltonsilva5272]

quero comprá pra mim essa guitarra Squier Telecaster

[@hexagontaginal]

I am surprised you didn't throw in any Rolling Stones or Black Crowes! Sounds good, like a Tele should.

[@dragonheart1947]

Is the Squire Classisc Vibe better than the Squire Affinity? I have the Affinity, seems the only difference is the pickups,

[@collinbryson9449]

I just want to find ONE telecaster demo without country playing. I get that it does that well, but jeez that’s all i can find

[@Learningguitarnow]

Check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6rYlJt8hahsobc

[@rami939]

Awesome. Your playing reminds me of the late Stephen Bruton .

[@blakebarner]

sounds great man! nice chops! i bet it would sound pretty sweet with a set of vintage noiseless pickups as well!

[@Instramark]

I agree with the gooped on urethane comment if you are talking about the neck finish. Many folks like a heavy urethane finish but I hate it and always end up removing it. BUT, you are totally wrong about this guitar being a POS.I have one that was a gift. With all Fender quality levels, you do need to be selective. Mine is a really nice heavy tele and as good as any I have had. I've only been playing 50 years so what do I know? Mr Tuggle has found a real niche and knows what he talking about.

[@James57AOL]

I believe that john is making two points here to those whos make the review for what it is. He identifies that the fender vibrolux is carrying alot of the tone and the overdrive so that being said you get the idea that the amp is worth the tone.....then comes to the point that you get to understand that with the pick ups you can still have a sweet spot. BUt what if its not the vibrolux then what.

[@hollandziek]

Wow wat a guitar!!!!!!!!!!!! I received The blond one today> Thanks for your upload.This guitar is rock and roll

[@iagobroxado]

Great tones, John. Do you really think it needs a pickup change or you are only planning to experiment? After this demo I definitely feel like buying one of those.

[@tang350]

Great playing as always, John. I had been intrigued by this guitar but was turned off by the Squire name and the low quality rep it has...might need to take another look at this one

[@CR0SSJ]

this guitar does sound great :) If put next to a mexican tele which one whould u choose?

[@willistaylor4077]

Oh, dear lord... That was pure 💕💕💕💕💕💕🎶🎸

[@TheSk8crazdude]

"i bought a telecaster for open g" okay keith richards

[@00DirectorsCut00]

Wizard of slide ! :)

[@gardnercalibuso]

Wow! Awesome skills! Nice going sir!

[@yamitanomura]

your playing absolutely great !

[@hollandziek]

This is realy a great sound!! But wat about the overdrive? .Is it on the Amp? Or do you use a pedal. Thanks!!!!!!

[@enalazzydog]

hey great slide playing!!! i am looking for a tele for playing tunings and slide.Do you think this is will do the job, can i make a good upgrade on it after ?How the neck feels?

[@Jaap95]

The very first teles were made from pine weren't they?

[@Learningguitarnow]

@ravenshield56 Well I haven't used the neck pickup too much. I would like to put a mini-humbucker in there though. I've been using the middle position and the bridge mainly. How do you like it?

[@budshatter3048]

I like the classic vibe series not sold on the lower end from them but these are nice practice guitars great for a teen also.

[@coreym4475]

will the neck from the classic vibe fit on my affinity tele?

[@chrisullery3386]

Getting my CV 50, going to be putting GHS Boomers 10 on it.

[@Hoopermazing]

@johntuggle It's already routed for a full sized neck humbucker. It's a pretty nice guitar, but if I can't find a fatter neck (for less than I paid for the whole guitar) then I'm selling mine.

[@tenodogblu]

This guitar is superb for the money!

[@gallionlion6388]

its made of pine and not alder....which one is better cv or mim

[@onehundreddegrees5792]

Damn good guitar. Wonder why they don't make the humbucker neck version.

[@MGrose407]

I believe you can swap it for a Humbucker in the neck because the slot is sized for it...at least it is on the sunburst custom version.

[@SalvvOrtiz]

Roy Buchanan said that putting a humbucker on a tele is like putting a mustache on the Monalisa.

[@happydrum]

Great skills bro!Very tasteful

[@MrSimi71]

Great slide guitar playing!

[@crazycarpes]

Cool guitar !!! by the way,have you played the Vintage Blonde Classic Vibe Tele ? if yes, do you prefer BSB or the VB tele ? thanks !

[@FriggnDiggn]

I own one of these and a $3000 r7 Goldtop, and the tele gets more playtime. 'NUFF SAID

[@johnny4blues]

Can't say how much I really enjoyed your demo...! The guitar sounds great, but your playing was excellent...so damn' hot-bluesy,,,,

[@SprunkCovers]

is this a good guitar for intermediate players? i have been playing for 3 years and i always loved teles (i'm left handed)

[@Learningguitarnow]

+Richie “Nuzleaf” Gonveda I would say so. I've been playing for 24 years and love it.

[@honoursole]

sounds great i s it the guitar or amp still like the sounds

[@zannpaci]

that amp sounds awesome

[@Z4Zander]

I picked one of these up to use as a practice rig to save wear and tear on my main axe.Don't give a rodent's rectum what the trolls say.This is one highly under valued guitar.Ok, it needed a decent set up and I replaced the neck pick-up(only thru personal preference).It has now become part of my stage rig.

[@Twoosy]

mind if i ask if you're using acrylic nails?

[@dougniles1]

Sweet sound nice slide Dude.Well done.

[@joserui7910]

A new Ry Cooder?

[@jatinderbhatti3155]

i have an epiphone standard les paul and I'm an intermediate player..i love the single coil tone..will this guitar do justice or should i pay more for a fender?

[@kitesproject-c2b]

Jatinder Bhatti I think this one is better than the mim standard tele, from my experience at least

[@chrisullery3386]

Definitely get a squier cv 50. Great quality and sounding guitar.

[@secretzR]

that's cool !! bro,i cant wait to buy it one. so that's original pickup stock?

[@Craig07L]

Coil tap single coil pickups?

[@Nagaroon88]

Man, what a tasty playing...

[@Learningguitarnow]

Sm57 to API 312 to Pro Tools

[@TEXXAN214]

theres no tapping capability on this?

[@SalvvOrtiz]

Would you say that the CV is better than the MIMI?

[@Learningguitarnow]

Depends really as they are not all made the same. You should try them both to see what you think.

[@ateranone]

great guitarplay man!

[@PatriciaSCostaOLDSKULL]

how did you recorded? thanks

[@hollandziek]

Cool!! Thanks John............

[@Rwecosher]

That slide is filth 😉

[@monirom94]

Great playing bro

[@Fenrid7]

is this a "modern c" shape?

[@Guitarjosii]

AWESOME slide playing O:

[@FriggnDiggn]

Say John, how bout a open G tuning lesson on the stuff from around the 4 minute to 6 minute mark for us noobs to the slide! :)

[@enalazzydog]

And what kind of bottleneck do you use?

[@devchemist]

sounds great!

[@TiernanKid1576]

Your AMAZING!!!!

[@themusic4mez]

wow,congratulations

[@morgenholz]

Because of this demo Fender is now sold out of everything with the word Telecaster on it. Man can play!

[@MiguelMorenoGP]

I've seen a lot of people praise this classic vibes over mexican fenders.

[@dakotadonaldson6825]

it shall be mine.

[@D4nnyx3]

yup
