Squier Deluxe Stratocaster - Demo, Pickup Position Sounds and Fun

[@lancefraijo8585]

Im not spending money on no high end Stratocaster, I have purchased the Pearl white and my next purchase will be the Daphne Blue deluxe, these guitars are spectacular.

[@perthguitar5160]

I agree. The player, including me, is the only limiting factor here.

[@rajjyotisikdar4808]

Why pay so much for a logo?

[@エンジェルデストロイヤー]

@@rajjyotisikdar4808 a logo? clearly you don't know what you're talking about

[@cesarcastillo7129]

​@@エンジェルデストロイヤー they mean why pay so much for a fender when there are cheaper guitars that are just as excellent

[@Sortedman23]

Excellent demo, ...... of a fine Squier Stratocaster, ...........probably the Best Bang for Buck guitar you will ever get these days , ! i've bought dozens of Squier guitars and basses over the years and have been amazed by the quality you get for the money !

[@rscottenglish]

Love your playing...it's all in the hands and the ears! You prove the point that an inexpensive guitar in the hands of a real player is enough.

[@Xcorgi]

Even with my criticism of the backing tracks being too loud, you did a great demo and pulled some super classic tones out of this Squier Deluxe Strat. Enough for me to buy one!

[@BrandonBames]

BEAUTIFUL playing my friend, God-tier tones.

[@perthguitar5160]

Thank you kindly!

[@noiricha]

Your playing brings out the best in this guitar ... nice job.

[@Gavatron5000]

Wow man you really know how to make that thing sing! Im in the market for a squier standard strat and this is the best video I’ve seen! It goes to show that it is the player which makes a guitar sound great first and foremost… but these guitars really do seem great! Just as good as a “real” fender in the right hands 😉 now I wonder, who is the man behind the videos? Hmmm 🤔 thanks for the awesome video, your playing is superb!

[@allkeysjamtracks9439]

Sounds good! I like the all white look.

[@perthguitar5160]

Thanks man.

[@StillLivinTheBlues]

YEAH! Man, that sounds like a GOOD guitar!

[@perthguitar5160]

Thanks John. This was a really good score.

[@veidorje1681]

recent squier models like this one or the classic vibe series are excellent guitars especially in that price's range

[@ClaudioBrandy]

It also (and most importantly) sounds like a GOOD guitar player! :-) Well done!

[@Fordman99.]

I think there the most beautiful sounding guitar love the fender squires and the stats to bits

[@TwistedIdentity]

I can't believe how good some of these Squier guitars sound. I'm not hating, I own two of them. But it still makes me go 'wow'.

[@650thunderbird]

Super sweet strat sounds, nicely played! $200 with a hard case? Score and a half!

[@perthguitar5160]

Score and a half alright. Just loving this strat. Thanks for watching.

[@64mung]

I have a Koran made,1993 Squier Strat. I replaced the pick ups & electronics with parts from a Mexican strat. Love this guitar now! I play it as much as I do my American strat. Find an old Squier and work on it over time..fun hobby.

[@rdelavarre]

You have a great feel for music! I love your style of playing. I will get one of these myself. Well done!

[@trmbtwo]

Sounds great all round but liked the Pink Floyd style, Funky Crunch and Jazzy loop at the end the most!

[@perthguitar5160]

Thanks man. That Floyd style backing track I did years ago and just recently found it. Thanks for watching.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Nice playing. Very very talented.

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Thats how a strat should sound no matter how much money you spend !

[@JohnJRevitte]

Great guitar tones and textures my friend!

[@perthguitar5160]

Thanks for watching.

[@williamferreira4210]

I just love how The Squiers sounds!!!! Amazing!!!

[@rachellebertol2947]

I have the daphne blue. But i have a problem. I am not a good player!!!! Nice playing brother. GOD BLESS!!!!

[@tyecook9630]

It would seem that we have much in common hehe. I'm no great player myself but after finding a daphne blue on craigslist last night and watching many videos I bought it today!...so far I'm loving it and apparently they've been discontinued for quite awhile now so I feel lucky to have found it. My other guitar is a squier affinity stratocaster that I've upgraded the pickups and pots in and i love it too!..I don't think I'll change the pickups in this one as they sound great and also different from the tex mex in my affinity so it's nice to have 2 quite different sounding strats...now that I have 2 awesome guitars I better learn a few more chords haha!🤣

[@wesboundmusic]

Nice indeed! Makes me fall in love again all over with my own daphne blue Squier Deluxe. So I should hold on to it then, huh? (amp question removed, spotted it in the description, sorry 'bout my momentary lack of attention there... )

[@rodrigogonzalez4578]

Great sound. Congratulations!!

[@carlosclaptrix]

Beautiful in playing and sound, very delicate these spacey overdrive sounds.

[@perthguitar5160]

Thanks Hans.

[@tomhorton1287]

I never liked strats with single coils and trem then one day I went for strings for an Ibanez rg and saw this. I walked accross the shop to this hanging on the wall from a distance i figured it was a fender as I got up to it I saw it was a Squire but it looked so good in the blue so i plugged it into an amp and was blown away for 299 this guitar was a steal and the trem on these are amazing I"m serious, its the best trem Ive had other than floyds the 2 point trem with block saddles is great they did a good job designing these I put the third spring in it had a good friend do his set up magic and I always end up with this cheaper priced of my guitars, the Squire deluxe strat in my hand. These are made in Indonesia and they are beautiful guitars don"t knock Squire they've up their game big time I compared a few MiM Fender strats to my Squire and I would take one of these every time over the MIM u can buy a set of graphtec locking tuners and drop them right into these with no mods with the money u saved or get a high end set off pick ups and u end up with a better guitar in the end.

[@PeUrmeleMantuitorului]

Wonderful music! Amazing sound! Congratulations! 😊

[@barrychickini9074]

I bought this just as you see it. I did have to change out the tuning machines.. with Gotoh tuners it is rock-solid and stays in tune.

[@nazmoking3171]

Nice vid of this guitar - well done! I just got one this week and did some tech work on it today to set it up. Added a spring to the tremolo for stability etc...seems like a nice guitar thus far. Neck feels good for rhythm/solo. Mine seems a wee bit brighter - do you have the pickup tone wide open in the vids? BTW, I got the Daphne blue version.

[@barryfohn4385]

I came across a Squier Deluxe Strat (used) in great shape. I had no idea what Squiers were worth. So I offered the guy $240.00 for it. He took my offer and I was surprised what a decent axe it was.

[@DennisK55]

I love those SC 101 Seymour Duncan designed single coils. I am getting a lot of great tones out of them. I can't quite compare them to any other pickups I have!

[@testtube1195]

I had the luck to find one for 150 euro. Great guitar, sounds and plays really good.

[@perthguitar5160]

Well done. One of my faves too.

[@74dartman13]

Nothing wrong with the Squires...got one myself and love it! Yours sounds great!

[@raceface_m2579]

I've owned one and it was a super good strat! Up to par with the CVs and $100 cheaper. Reminds me of American strats.

A guy has just offered me one of this squier deluxe Daphne Blue for my epiphone standard. I dont really know if I get the squier or keep my epipone. This squier sounds great!

[@perthguitar5160]

They are so different. My advice, get the strat and keep the LP if you can! Thanks for watching.

[@matheusleao2035]

@@perthguitar5160 that's exactly what I wanted. But unfortunately I didn't have the money to do so. Then I kept the Epi. Thanks for the answer

[@virgomonkey68]

Hey mate, not sure if your still active on this channel but firstly love what you have done and i assume your from perth WA....anyway i need some advice on these....i found one today that was for sale but luckily had a close look that the tremolo posts x 2 had both been forced forward toward neck and the body wood was all cracked....why would that have happened....and how many springs are these supposed to have?.the owner didn’t even realise and this thing had no use and was immaculate with still the pick-guard and pickup plastic on it...is it the wood on some of these are just poor?. Also I see some models have like six mounts yet these have 2...i need a lesson on strat variations in this squire range. So really is it not worth getting at really low price and fixing it or is it junk status in your opinion?

[@perthguitar5160]

The deluxe in general is not junk. I think it comes with 3 springs and should have a 2 point trem. Body wood cracking and post movement is a bit of a worry though. I'd pass but they do come up from time to time on gumtree, which is where I got mine so keep a look out. Thanks for watching.

[@AlainChatignon]

superb

[@kenhall6525]

Beautiful, just wish it was HSS

[@jmac55159]

I own one, when you remove the pickguard it is routed with hsh cutouts. I put a hotrail in the bridge and a coolrail in the neck. I wired them both in the series/parallel/split configuration with a 3-way toggle for each. Among many more mods. I still have the original duncan design middle pickup in it, it sounds great. My squier is no longer a squier and is an absolute beast. I highly recommend this fiddle.

[@jayjkayhouseofharleys3151]

HOPE YOU ARE WELL MY FRIEND !!

Nice Demo!

[@perthguitar5160]

Thanks man.

[@lucaferrer2990]

Hi,thanks for the review,i wanted to ask you how stable Is the trem system,im between this guitar and a classic vibe, this one has a better trem system( the 2 point trem) but the classic vibes have alder body...

[@davidwernsing8795]

Sounded great. I didn't know those came in daphne blue, was it a maple or rosewood fretboard?

[@perthguitar5160]

All have maple fretboards. Thanks for watching.

Dear bro any idea regarding vox 50 mv amps

[@perthguitar5160]

[@perthguitar5160]

Great guitar man. You won't regret it. Thanks for watching.

[@jazzydog]

Sweet sound!!. Is all the pickups using Duncan Design? Very nice demo my friend.

[@perthguitar5160]

Thanks for watching. Yep, all are Duncan Designed pickups.

[@jazzydog]

I put 2 Duncan Designed (humbucker neck and single bridge) in one of my tele and upgrade the caps with the Orange Drop sound very nice. Duncan Designed made a good product with affordable price. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@anamurillo3715]

Hi! what amp and effects are you using? if there are many can you just name the ones for the first Pink Floyd Style playing? :) you sound amazing!

[@riloh58]

Holy crap! Where did you see it for that price? I've been looking at this as an option for a daily driver for a while but, never seen for that sort of price in Australia.

[@TomPark1986]

So how does this compare to an american standard? Are there features you like better? Would you say they are the same?

[@perthguitar5160]

The features are very similar. The MIA has a slight D neck shape in my opinion and also has better hardware (ie. trem and pickups). For most players, including myself, the difference is marginal. What I like the most about the Squier is that I hardly paid anything for it! Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

[@byronofcalgary6985]

the Deluxe Series has everything the Standard Series has inc the 2 Pin trem instead of 6 screws - a few exceptions are- the small headstock - a thinner finish on neck - - AVAILABLE Duncan Design Hot Rails - 3 in a SSS Layout = ANGLED HumBuckers - you will always look for better than DD pickups but the 3 Rails are an Education in Tone.... bye bye HSS + SSS

[@alexstrat]

Amazing! What pick do you use?

[@perthguitar5160]

Just a 1mm Nylon Ernie Ball. Thanks for watching.

[@BilldeRennes]

Thanks but.. for this sound great what material do you use with your squier strat? Continue for us!

[@perthguitar5160]

Thanks man. All recordings done with either the emulated out of the Blackstar ID:Core 150 or solely using the Zoom G5 pedal USB into the computer. All tracks mixed with cubase. Cheers and thanks again for watching.

[@AndrewAviles]

Great demo, I have a tele deluxe I love but is colored more warm (which I like) but want a strat to also have brighter more universal tones. Do you think this fits the bill? How are the pickups compared to standard strat pups? This seems as good as mom at least!

[@mahoganymarco9199]

Standard sound more chimey and vintage, more treble on pick up. The deluxe has more output I love both

[@fenderman21guitar]

they dont seem to be available anymore in the uk? shame as i want one haha

[@Term1backup]

Dude what effects you got running? that sounds insane! I hear reverb but what amount?

I haven't looked under the hood on this one but I believe they are all routed HSH. Thanks for watching.

For the money, the Squier Deluxe Stratocaster is a bargain. Aside from Fender (parent company) it's the only one you will see an authorized "Stratocaster" name on the headstock and for good reason.
