@@theabsolute23 Pro tip: Pop the strings out of the string trees or get a pair of graph tech trees. If you really want to put money into making a squier play decently, ditch the trees and get a set of staggered locking tuners and grease the guitar' nut. Hipshot is a good brand. $50 and all the whammy abuse you want and it'll never go out of tune.

[@davidkastin4240]

Get a noise gate pedal to eliminate 60 cycle hum. I have a 20 yr old Squier standard and the pickups are awesome.

I absolutely love that distorted twang that you get on single coil strats/tele’s, you don’t get that with humbuckers.

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

I love using a Telecaster copy with single coils for heavy tones. I roll back the tone control just a bit to mellow the hum slightly. Listen to early King's X albums for some very cool and heavy strata sounds.

[@Axess-sv8nq]

P90 pickups are the in-between single coil and humbucker sound. With this guitar, I would throw a dual-rail (humbucker in single coil size) in the bridge position. It will chug AND be quiet.

I have listened this video many-many times in mp3 format, and must to say, I like the single-coil sound much better than the humbucker sound. Much aggressive and crispy.

[@wxdanwx]

"it sounds pretty cool actually I mean it's different from a humbucker" maybe it's time to play around with some (noise cancelling) singlecoils?

[@kongandbasses8732]

Noise chancelling single coils are basically humbucker in another shape. Like stacked coils, not side by side as you see in usual humbucker. Use a noise gate for full single coil goodness. And use shielding tape to shield your electronic cavity. Thats it.

[@Axess-sv8nq]

Dual rails would be the best alternative to those Squier single coils. Guitar Fetish and Dragonfire are decent low-cost ones.

[@jimshea2292]

Or flip the pickup selector up one tick and the noise is gone. Easiest way to get rid of pickup noise in just about every Strat.

Any guitar can chug with right pedal or amp, but not every amp can chug. Some may chug but only on low volume, for example Fender Bassman or DeVille.

My 3 choices for single coils that I’d use are fender noiseless, fishman, or EMG (regular and retro actives). You can use regular singles but you‘ll have to use a decent gate. Also making a faraday cage is very important when using singles.

Way back in 1998, at the age of 14, I got my first guitar and of course it was a squier. I also got a little kustom combo amp with an overdrive switch. At that time, the internet was just starting to boom with guitar lessons and tabs and I was eating it up. I have great memories of me sitting in my room by myself for many hours a day playing guitar having dreams of becoming a rock star, lol. I learned so much in that first year on the squier guitar and kustom amp. These days I play shows out with my band like 2-3 times a month here in the greater Cleveland area and I play on American hss strats, a fender tone master twin reverb 212 combo, and the boss gt-100. And I love this set up because it sounds awesome, is super versatile, and easy to cart around.

[@ofadetergentsud]

If you want this tone without the hum, EMG makes active stacked single coils. My dad used one on his Squier. They sound really good.

[@erikas6874]

The hum picked up by single coil pickups is usually because nearby electromagnetic fields. Proper grounding and/or keeping some distance to transformers like in amps, should do the trick. Great demo by the way.

Same. Sounds like the humbuckers take a lot of the high end frequencies off of the tone. I see now what people mean when they say humbuckers sound darker than single coils.

[@jayz6008]

Single coils have lots of clarity. Humbuckers tend to sound muddier at times. But the positive side is theres not as much noise. When deciding between the two its about finding the right balance.... there are also active single coils though so that's an option. .. personally I love single coil tones but can't stand the noise

[@Saber-2]

@@Saber-2 wtf you probably suck then

[@DMNDREG]

Right!!! That bullett sound was better to me

[@SixString_J5]

Hey Ola! You might try positions 2 and 4 for a small amount of noise cancelling. Also a gate is essential for high gain on single coils especially if you are running lights and camera and all sorts of other electronics in the room causing the 60 cycle hum. I am however shocked that the thing won't stay in tune. Squier has been touted for stepping up their game lately. If you were going to keep it, which is obvious you won't, I'd recommend blocking the trem, a tusq nut, and Fender locking tuners.

[@janzelf]

Bullets aren't that well made these days. They're okay, but not 'for the money' anymore. Better to get a Harley Benton or even better and cheaper; a Fazley Outlaw Plus, these already have tusq nut - properly filed slots, etc. These Bullet Squiers aren't well serviced out of the box. Gotta do some work; filing down the fret-ends, filing down the nut-slots (keeps the guitar in tune), probably some intonation and hardtailing the trem, but definitly doing some shielding on the electronics which are just covered by a bare pickguard and bodycavity, probably swimming pool-style. Also, true about switching to different positions, was looking for this comment already, he didn't even touched the switch ;)

[@DEATHLEXIA]

i had an old squire i turned into a super strat of sorts, emg hzs. steel guitar fetish big block, locking tuners, emg pots and electronics, and copper/aluminum shielding throughout, it chuged without the upgrade but with it its got badass tones, great solo noting and stays in tune even when using the wammy bar ... it can be done

[@devoarepunk]

I have a 2010 Squier Strat I got pre-loved, with some custom pickups for like $175. Its my favorite guitar and im proud to say it.

[@LJacyHenry]

Always use the second switch position that usually kills 3/4 of that hum.

[@fredriksvard2603]

Still too much. Just put something good in, like in a jim root model.

[@VintageDefectors69]

I got a new Bullet Strat from 2017 since it was so cheap and looked so cool (the black HSS one with the sparkly pickguard) and it was amazing to me. The pickups aren't good obviously, but they weren't horrid. The humbucker definitely helped a lot. The tuners were also bearable which I think is probably the thing they've updated the most on these. If you don't use the trem it actually stays in tune very well on the new ones (depending on the setup I'm sure). That's my take.

[@Wabin22]

You can't really do it justice if it's brand new, as with most guitars they will not hold tune with new strings, new/different humidity and so on.

It needs a noise gate. Also, shielding the pickup cavity and replacing the tuners would reduce the hum and make tuning more stable. Replacing the pickups with low noise (non-humbucker) pickups (e.g. Kinman, Mojotone) will also help.

[@ericlassard3033]

No problem with single coils-use noise gate or noiseless singles, about tuning-proper thick strings and guitar setup-guitar taken directly from box usually dosent tune...:)

[@revolutionday1]

These kind of guitars are notorious for coming stock with some of the cheapest and shittiest tuners known to man or beast. Epiphone- I'm looking at you, too! One of THE absolute first things that should be immediately replaced on an "student-level" instrument, would be the tuners, and likely the nut as well. Otherwise, you're just purchasing an exercise in frustration and futility.

[@jussit3909]

Single coil actually sounded pretty nice :) I've understood that the Bullet Strats are rather bad in terms of quality. I have a slightly more expensive Squier that is actually okay, but it goes out of tune quite easily. But even if you upgrade the bridge and the tuners, it's still 1/3 of the price of a quality guitar. So yea.. at least it's pretty decent value for the money.

[@CMRonin]

I have a decent squier strat that I swapped the pickups on to high gain single coils and it sounds pretty great but once I get money I really really need a noise gate

Hi Ola, have you heard the new Exhorder record yet? It would be interesting to have your take on it. Cheers

Squier definitely sounds better than solar. Tremolo should be blocked with wooden block to fix the tuning issue. You can even try some sort of noiseless singles, like Yngwie

[@TheMrsaintevil]

Single coil are nice to play, especially with fuzz type of pedals or fuzz + distortion

[@bipbipletucha]

Next time you should try a higher-end Strat. The single coils sound great, and the higher quality components will add more fullness to the sound (those Squier pickups sounds incredibly thin) as well as improve tuning stability (with the inclusion of better trem units and tuners that aren't complete crap). I'd reccomend the Fender player or Vintera series, or even a squire classic vibr, all of which are very good guitars for the money (mostly under 1k). As for the hum, try a noise gate pedal next time! All the best to you Ola, love the series. Chug on!

I’m picking up one of these soon from someone I know for like really cheap, with the added bonus of upgraded tuners. Makes me feel better about not having humbuckers, it actually sounds cool. And I don’t even wanna chug lol.

Got a bullet strat with a humbucker. Every one said you can't play heavy with this but hell I love it on high gain. Has a very Maiden like sound and it only costs 115 dollars/euros

[@larrydicus7822]

I'm not as great of a guitarists like you, but I live the bullet strat. It's like 129 USD.

WILL IT CHUG? Yeah, pretty much. WILL IT TUNE? Hmm, not so much.

I bought a bullet Tele because I had never played one and even hated them growing up learning,I was always a les paul and explorer kinda guy,so I picked up a Bullet Tele as it was cheap and I had the same issues with tuning initially,but with new thicker gauge strings and a proper set up I found I grew to like the tonal change quite a bit,but still find my self going back to the les paul with dirty heshers daily

This is why i like your videos because you are so true to your reviews. .

[@GearGasms]

I did War Pigs on a Squier Tele in one of my videos, so I already knew how this would go! 🤘🏻

[@nickdimitrievski3392]

As someone who used to own one of these...I can confirm that the stock tuners are absolute shit I replaced mine with Wilkinson’s after about a week of ownership

Finally my question has been asked thank you Ola!

[@Antlegs]

I have a bullet with a humbucker setup and it is really good
