If you're a little handy, you can simply head on over to the Warmoth site and fully customize just about any Fender style instrument. ( They are actually licensed by Fender actually ). I've made myself a few Strats and Tele's as well and they are so good I've actually sold my 2 American made Fenders I owned previously. It also makes for a very cool project and if you know how to paint it becomes even more of a bargain. I finished all of mine in nitrocellulose lacquer as well, they look just as nice as they sound 🤟

[@robertclarkguitar]

Smart!!!

[@fredlenox9772]

In my humble opinion this is a click bait. There is anywhere in the video something that matches with its title.

[@TheGuitalian]

The embarrasment admitting that there is not that big of a difference between the squier and the am vintage 2. I thought it was pretty clear

[@danmozy]

Lol ya…so embarrassing right

[@powbobs]

@@TheGuitalian LOL, no.

[@eddiecastillo9627]

I was happily surprised to see that offset tele. I own that exact model and it's my #1 guitar right now. I preferred the tones coming from the squier and American vintage II though. But I love the feel of the offset tele and the tones from it aren't bad at all, but I like the warmer sounding tones. Typing this as I watch the video and I gotta say that squier sounds amazing and definitely sounds better than the Mexican tele. And it sounds to me a lot like the American vintage. I was thinking about getting an American vintage but now I'm thinking about getting a squier classic vibe.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

The Mexican made Vintera sounds as closer to a 50s Telecaster than all of them , the tone is rounder and fuller to my ears. I have a 53 and the Mex sounds almost as good. Thamks for your demo.

[@darwinsaye]

I hate to be picky, but a Butterscotch Squier Classic Vibe would have been a better choice to go up against the Vintage II. The Butterscotch has alnico V pickups and the Blonde has alnico III.

[@13Houdini13]

I don’t think Fender needs to be embarrassed. Trying to make money off them with this video is the embarrassment. Fender is a great product. Sure they have issues like a lot of brands. If you don’t like them find a brand you do like. PRS makes guitars with 5x difference in price. And as far as playability and sound there isn’t 5x difference. People buy what they want. I love Fender and their “S” & “T” bodies sure have been copied a lot to add to their “embarrassment “.

[@TheGuitalian]

Did you watch the video?

[@scotttalley1274]

always wanted a tele....got one, 2003 / 52 repro...love it more than I could ever believe. even named it. first time. my other guitars are collecting dust.

[@Earthshaker1965]

Excellent video!!! Squier Telecasters are practically unbeatable for the value and playability. 👍😎

[@backandfour]

The Japanese sounded too straty for my taste, the vintera lacked a bit of power maybe because of the vintage inspired pick ups? To me, the favourites were the CV and the american vintage 2. The eternal question between squiers and fenders...is Fender is better, but how much difference? I don't like the 7.5 radius either.. so the answer for me is easy and ... cheap! By the way, really great review, nice sound, production.. quality content. I like the way you change guitars within the same track...so that the comparison is really straight forward. Keep it on!

[@TheGuitalian]

Thanks, deeply appreciated!

[@josephliptak]

The 51 telecaster all day long over the rest

[@looking_33]

the most expensive one is always the best, it is common sense! why else would it be the most expensive

[@richgleadall3884]

classic vibe to me is the best bang for the buck a life keeper guitar.

[@davidmahoherrezuelo]

I have 7 Squiers CV (5 China and 2 from Indonesia) and...i go to buy more in the future, i have a Fender Telecaster Brent Mason and is so great but...the Squiers face against Fender very well... I love Indonesia made and China made by equal, great construction and tone!

[@jackhargreaves1911]

Excellent review. I have been trying to choose between Fender telecasters and also found the narrow radius fretboards and u-shaped necks of the vintage models to be quite unforgiving. Though I was tempted to buy the Vintage American II 1951 (because of the rich, mellow sound and beautiful looks) I am tending more towards the Squier for reasons of playability.

[@chuckwolfboyer7830]

PRO II THE BEST

[@franciscocastaneda7060]

well, I went to a shop tried a player, a vintera II, a professional II and a vintage II, the resonance in the vintage II unumplugged took my interest on the first look, then by playing was definetely the best one in feeling and sound. very recommendable, I' m very happy with mine

[@steveg.3022]

I have a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele and I really like it. I bought it 2nd hand and did the setup myself. It plays great. I have never played any of the other models so I don’t have any references for comparisons.

[@lefty5757]

Hi Steve, I have a 2nd hand 50’s classic vibe tele myself, I need to change out the nut with a bone nut, how easy was the setup?

[@steveg.3022]

@@lefty5757, I have never changed a nut, but I did glue one back on a guitar after it fell off. That wasn’t hard, but I’ve never cut the slots in a nut blank. I think that is a bit more involved. If the nut slots are the correct depth, a Tele setup isn’t hard. You’ll need the 4mm or 5mm Allen (hex) tool for the truss rod, a Phillips screwdriver for bridge saddle intonation, and a small Allen (hex) key for the bridge saddle height. There are plenty of good KZbin videos on this. I recommend you watch several before you do anything. The 50s style Tele bridge doesn’t allow individual string intonation, so you just do the best you can for each pair. I was mainly trying to eliminate some string buzzing. I ended up being successful at that, so I was happy.

[@lefty5757]

@@steveg.3022 Thank you Steve.

[@RealROCKnROLLA]

Well, this is my approach to a question which is better. I have a classic series 50s strat. I don't like 7.5 and I find pickups not very good. A new neck costs 300 Euro and texas special prewired (because my pots and switch are also a bit wobbly) another 250 Euro. I can sell the guitar for 500-600 Euro. So that's 550 Euro saved and 500-600 euro earned from selling it. A price of a second hand american pro 2 is around 1300 Euros. I think this is a nobrainer, really.

[@hustlinc3540]

so little difference in sound yet such an unjustified difference in price

[@robertclarkguitar]

Indeed.

[@benjaminlin6524]

The Vintage II sounds best overall, but the Classic Vibe sounds remarkably good.

[@lousekoya1803]

New to your channel , one of the best demo out there ! well done ! I would be happy anyone of them , the Squier was very good sounding for the price.

[@TheGuitalian]

Thank you!

[@rocafella142]

In my opinion, they had it right with the American Original series. American Vintage II is a step backwards. Only thing I would say is an improvement are the pickups.

[@gingebrien2408]

So I dropped a ridiculous amount and ordered the Tele Vintage II 1951. I’m hoping it’s everything I expect. Is the Ash body one piece?

[@Atlas65]

I just tried it in the store, yesterday. And it is really a quality instrument. It really stood out from all the other Telecasters in the store. Even the once in a similar price range and even more expansive.

[@gingebrien2408]

@@Atlas65 truly appreciate the comment. I rarely buy a guitar sight unseen. But I did with this one.

[@ZakKirkpatrick]

@@gingebrien2408 how did it turn out for ya!?

[@gingebrien2408]

@@ZakKirkpatrick well I’m extremely happy. I’m no expert. But the sound for me is incredibly clean. I’m happy

[@ZakKirkpatrick]

@@gingebrien2408okay this is really subjective territory, but does the neck feel incredibly chunky? I’ve heard what seem to be mixed reports on that.

[@matthewstearle7395]

Do you like the Player Tele or the Sire Tele,thanks

[@TheGuitalian]

I haven't tried the Sire Tele model yet

[@robertleslie2467]

I only need one guitar. A telecaster. Oh wait a Les Paul Jr. And a Flying V. And dang it! A ‘54 gold top! Yeah I’m an old guy. But I ain’t Keith Richards old. Yet.

[@mistergamba80]

love mi 52, kick ass (nice offset)

[@herroglop7411]

What about diferences in weight? That is probably the weak point of the Squier.

[@TheGuitalian]

There’s some difference, but I’m used to play a Les Paul custom, so I didn’t notice any particular discomfort 😅

[@Wojtek_Tomczak]

What about Sire T-type? /Check'em out

[@kyleabent]

My only experience with Fender is first the American Ultra Butterscotch Tele with a Evertune bridge. Then I got the most recent American Vintage 2 1951 telecaster. There's such a contrast between the modern and original design.

[@bobwrightpeakblinder9698]

I want to get a tele...and my doubts concern with that two models, ultra or vintage...which one you should recommend? Is ultra better playability worth it?

[@Atlas65]

@@bobwrightpeakblinder9698 I was just trying both in the store. And both me and my brother felt that the Ultra was much more neutral. Like it lacked character. While the 51 Vintage sounded like a dream. Ofcourse not all the guitars are the same. But judging from trying both of these in this particular store. This was the verdict. ... And also I admit that the 51 Vintage is not for everyone since it has a thick chunky U shaped neck. I haven't yet made up my decision wether I'm fine with that. Since i have been playing slim necks almost all my life. Starting with with Ibanez in my teens and then moving over to Gibson - You know after all. I might get the 51 after all, even though it is the most expansive one and cost twice as much then the one I was was first thinking about, the Vintera.

[@moonvals]

Main thing is. Yes soundwise it is not that much of a differance. But cheap guitars dont last as long. Knobs, pots, tuners get loose and cranky. I have been teaching guitar for 16 years and we usally buy cheaper guitars so i know what i am talking about. Higher end models like USA just last the lifetime and dont drop in value……

[@feiz01]

Can't beat the Mexican tales for the price to bang for the buck ...
