@ogkiko Well, it depends what you play. I personally like Fender Texas Specials, Seymour Duncans (forget what models they are), or Golden Age sets from Stewmac with the hot bridge/neck pickup
@DonXter he was doing a larry david impression. This guy talks way to much i hate his reviews! I wish he would just play a bunch of different styles from start to finish! instead of the typical blues licks on a typical strat!
im getting this one and i played it at guitar center i thaut it was good but u want to try alot out cuz they are all diff but its a really good guitar
A middle aged man in a backwards baseball cap is the perfect mix of tragedy and comedy.
Your comment about guitar prowess; grow up dude and stop starting internet arguments with people half your age. I never made any statements about guitar ability.
I know, what the fuck is his deal? I have a Mexican Stratocaster(not splatter) & it's clean as fuck. It plays so smoothly, shit it's not only better than squier, but better than a regular strat. This guy sounds like a complete fool, I'd take these videos down if I were him, he is an embarrassment to himself.
@MarkToTheSky- Number one, what the fuck are you talking about; he never said the MIM strats are bad, he said he LIKES them. Number two; no MIM strats are NOT better than american made ones, although the individual guitar can be better than other individual american made fenders. Jeez were you even listening?
not true, 200 dollars for a squier, 500-600 for a mexi. he's comparing them because if you want a first guitar, mexi and squier are two choices that you have.
since he doesn't know how its painted and just incase anybody was wanting to know. they screw the pickgaurd and back plate on. then put the guitar on a turntable and spin it while droping paint on. then it is cleared and all the hardware is put on.
on of my guitars is a one year old squier affinity strat that is solid alder and its actually pretty good quality except the pickups are pretty weak and the tuners could be a lot better . but the body, neck, and fretboard are really good for the price.
You guys ever see those new vintage vibe squiers?...Not gonna lie i played one and it felt incredible, best guitar in the store. I guess that says something about their newer stuff
Yessir! Those are amazing guitars. It plays and sounds as good as any Highway One Strat and for a lot less. You just have to sand the Squier decal off..... ; )
Also, I prefer the Mexican vintage lines, with the 50s, 60s, and esp. the Road Worn Strats. They all sound as good as American strats do, mostly because of components and better pickups. But don't knock Squier, they are still a quality brand for producing cheap guitars.
I do agree that Squiers can actually hold their own. They were pretty trashy in the 90's era, but they have vastly improved their line and have a ton of cool new models, esp. the vintage modern line. Very cool guitars AND basses, I own the P-bass, great value for $250. I think conversely, the Mexican Standard Fenders of the 90s were OK, but they always had sharp frets on the edges, which is no fun. The most recent ones have really upgraded, necks are smooth, but pickups are still kinda weak.
I know how to file a nut out and clean up a guitar. I work on mine quite a bit. I was only stating that when I got my Squiers, they could stay in tune with no setup by me. I was only saying that I don't think it's fair to claim that these Mexican made Fenders are "far supperier" to a Squier. But obviously you fanboys think so. Whatever works for you...
old squires are like the fenders you get nowadays for €700, yngwie malmsteen said in an interview his guitar actually is a japan strat which costed like 600; his signature model along with the dimarzio's & scalloped neck costs about €1500
With mexi strats you should play before you buy, due to your chancing it with some years, but mine plays like a dream, better than most of mine. very nice strat sound
I always play guitars before I buy them. All guitars are a little different, and the Mexican Stratocaster is one of those guitars that is more different more often. I have liked most that I have played though.
I noticed that with the weaker pickups. When I was trying guitars out when buying my Strat (mine is a 1999 model), I liked the sound of the secondhands better (plus they were cheaper, even though this was mint) and the newer ones weren't so great.
When buying my Tele though, it was the other way around, I liked the newer model better, because the pickups were hotter in the new Teles.
The pickups are weak for a reason. Not becuase they're "cheap". The early 50s strats had weak pickups, and Fender still uses those in certain models because some people like them like that...
I have the same Splatter strat that was shown 1:05 - 1:20. I've bought it in 2003 and I knew that a guitar like that will never be found in stores again so I had to have it and thank God it's still part of my life!
I had a look at it anyway and it was bloody ugly, not like these ones in this vid at all. I have to look at the thing everyday so I just couldn't buy it!
any guitar can play anything, you put thicker strings on it, tune it down to b flat, and channel an assload of disto though it, you got yourself a shred machine.
Actually most Squiers are not ply wood bodies. The deluxe is a solid Basswood body, the Classic Vibe is Alder I think.
