Hi all, thanks for dropping in just a quick message to apologise I had to mute the Quo playing bit in this weeks film, apparently it was too good 🤣and the copyright police flagged it up as a 'revenue share' which means they would give all my ad revenue to the owners BMG so I have muted it. Full unredacted version can be seen and heard on the TV channel theguitaristas.tv if you fancy signing up for a month or year to support this channel and make such things unnecessary in the future. Cheers hope you like this weeks video! Col 😎

In the last 3 years i hold a few and played a couple squires. All of them had problems. Upgrading a 440 pound guitar with pickups elctronics and tuners and... ads another 150 to 200 pounds to the guitar. And for that money you can look at PRS se.

Nice playing Colin, I really enjoyed this one! My '19 Gibson Les Paul classic has 4 push pulls for splits, phase and circuit bypass and I felt the same at first, but actually I love having the options. It works best when you are playing to a set list and maybe split the pickup for a verse or whole song, rather than thinking about maybe changing the controls here and there randomly. They're great for recording too, but anyway, thanks for another awesome video!

"Option paralysis".... Spot on. Can't be the only person who wants to keep things simple Colin. With a relatively simple amp - Fender Blues Junior Ltd tweed and a dozen pedals, I really don't need all these options on the guitar too. I'd just end up sitting there fiddling, rather than playing. I've just given my friend a 2015 Les Paul Junior in TV yellow to take back to Thailand. It's a beauty. One pickup, one volume, one tone...even has the (much derided) G-Force tuners which I love - press one button to tune/re-tune. SIMPLE !!

I would lose the white scratch plate and put a red or brown tortoise shell on it. I don't know why I don't like the white one. I didn't think I would like the Humbuckers, but the coil split changed my mind. It doesn't look gold on camera. There really are a lot of Doo-dads on it. Are you Notakloning forever? I like mine, I run it into a Celestion tube amp and it sounds great. Especially with Drop D on my Redrum Les Paul! Let's see what happens to it....Cheers!

Hi Colin. I'm off work today so was able to watch within the 'algorithm window'! A really useful and informative video as always. It was so informative that I've cancelled my order with Thomann for this guitar! I'm not one of those in the market for a four figure guitar and the £400-£600 range is my spot in the market as my skill level doesn't warrant anything more expensive! Your view on the electrics and the tuners was really useful for me; I liked the look of the guitar (I quite like the gold) and thought it would be a good buy. I'd have no intention of going down the modding route so I just want a guitar that works well out of the box and there are plenty in this price band that would do that. It may be that you've got a bad example, but doesn't look like the overall quality is there. That's a shame as I have a Squier Mustang that is a great little thing. Thanks again.

Hi Colin, i love yiur channel and enjoy yiur playing. This video caught my attention when yiu said the guitar disnt initially work then started working. Earlier this year i bought a Squier Paranormal Esquire Deluxe (Humbucker, 3 way rotary switch, split coil, Humbucker through the controls, Humbucker straight out through the jack). When i brought it home it worked fine then after 20 mins would only work i split coil mode. Tookit back and got a replacement that dis the same thing. Tried it with a different amp and lead, same issue. I took it appary but nothing was loose so i treated the switch to a cleaning and out it back together. Same issue. Decided to use it until it stopped working the grab a different guitar. Just wondering if any of your viewers have had the same problem with that model and figured it out. Cheers!

As for complex options on guitars, if the guitar suits me overall I tend to just ignore the fancy options and use it as a "normal" guitar.

Its kind of expensive though if you're then going to have to spend £50-£100 modding.

Nice review! Got that same guitar yesterday, and it’s going back tomorrow. Tuners feel shit indeed, lots of toolmarks and dirt that won’t come off on the binding on the neck. The pots feel mushy (and it’s not the knobs or pots that are loose, they just feel like they go a little past 10, but then creep back to 10 on their own). Didn’t love it myself because of the issues above, but it does play well indeed! I just didn’t feel like replacing the whole lot right away.

I personally like the vintage LP Custom inspired look of it to go with Tele vibes. But yeah, mod the hell out of it with proper parts and you'll have the best of both worlds IMO. If not, you won't regret the more expensive one to feed the GAS monkey on your back. Usually works out for me, anyway. They'll always appreciate in value and grow old gracefully with quality and dignity.

Scratch plate V pick guard My guitar teacher 45sh years age said a pick guard was near the strings (eg around the sound hole on a flat top), They became scratch plates when they extended beyond that to protect the body, especially on electrics around the knobs. That should muddy things up a bit - though It still makes sense to me 😁

I have one of the Fender USA Troublemakers and it’s a great guitar. Try one of those.

Something nice to look at. Too many knobs & sounds like a Gibson, not a Fender. Teles were bare bone machines that could scream or be mellow & a good player could produce any sound from them. You are the man for honest, intelligent reviews.

Great revue Colin, can’t lie that doesn’t rock my boat, A bit too gimmicky for my taste. Bought a squire esquire a while back and after a bit of work it’s a gem mate. Cheers mate.

Sounded alright mate. Squire tuners, real hit or miss in my experience. Too many controls for me, I would run it through a standard tele vol and tone set up. Agree about it being a good nodding platform, throw a few dollars at Squires and you end up with great guitars - with little resale value lol.

I do have one of these, and had Orange drop capacitors and CTS pots installed. I absolutely love it, and enjoy playing it as much as my more expensive Fender Telecasters. I might change the pickups, but honestly don’t really feel the need to do it. It’s fun to play and damn, does it look good!

Do full size CTS pots fit in the control cavity? Looking at the video, the space seems to be good for mini pots only.

It's a cool looking guitar, would be awesome to see you mod the shit out of it and to do an update video, I've been slowly modifying my jackson JS32t kelly overtime as I have the spare funds, and yeah the tuners were one of the first things I replaced on that too.
