  • squier strat is best strat

  • @Jamman1701 Hi, i'm looking to buy squirell from allegro, for 400 pln, it's 100 euro, but i don't know whether it is good.

  • Hey i'm lookin for a good guitar but dont have a lot of money. I'm in a band and the sound i'm lookin for is that 90s SoCal pop punk kind of sound, like blink 182. i know tom used a fender strat. could i get the same sound with a fender spuier model?

  • @NfamousShirley1 3 is the amp you use again hundreds of brands and types to choose from and if you use pedals that will again change ur sound. A squire will be a step in the right direction is thats the sound u want but you must consider the other 3. for example someone can take this squire and make it sound heavy metal if they wanted.

  • @JAMMAN1701 ok well thank you for being in depth about it. we've only been a band for a couple years and are trying to learn these things. so i appreciate the explanation. we are in the process of finding pedals to find unique sounds, but for that old school pop punk, do you have any suggestions when searching for pedals and amps? any sort of explanation will help greatly for we are trying to learn.

  • @NfamousShirley1 also, youre probably thinking that we should know these things, seeing as we've been together for two years, but we're all self taught and come from non musical backgrounds, so the learning process is a little slow. that's why we love to get advice from individuals who have vast musical knowledge. we appreciate we people, such as yourself, that take time to give this sort of advice

  • @NfamousShirley1 Hey, I dont want to bog you down in a sound lesson so i'll try to make this short, getting sound is a combo of 4 main things 1 is the guitar. Every brand has its unique sound because of the different profiles and wood types used. 2 is the pick ups there are hundreds of brands, style, power, etc pickups out there that will change sound.

  • how do you make the heavy metal sound do i have to buy a a step thingy its my 8th instrument and i just started

  • What makes this guitar a " beginners" guitar ?

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome accent. Thumbs up if you think so too.

  • I'm new to this. Just got one for Christmas. Looking forward to learning about it.

  • hello, do all guitars come with amplifiers? btw do they also come with guitar picks?

  • I just brought a 1980's model of this guitar with out strings for £100. Good price or not?

  • @JAMMAN1701 i'm a beginner and i'm torn between squier strat HSS and yamaha pacifica 112j... could you please look at their specifications and give me a suggestion... their both costing me the same amount and i can't stretch my budget any further....

  • @1011sid pacifica beats most £300-400 so get that its an incredible guitar for the price.far better than a squier.

  • @1011sid pacifica is ten times better

  • Hey, what is the price of this guitar?

  • hey brother wat is the price of squire strat ??

  • can this guitar play heavy metal

  • @devilmaycry4132 it can to an extent. but your better off with a telecaster for metal.

  • Can we play metal with this guitar?

  • @torpasa NOOOOOO!!!!

  • @torpasa

    yes, i have one and thats what i play

  • lol his voice doesnt fit his look at all

  • Hey, I also have this strat. But when my neck and middle (don't know the name) pick ups (also single coil strat pick-ups) sound aweful with distortion... got any tips?

  • @aoverheid1995 thats just the cheaply made squier pickups. you can replace them with standard fender pickups witch don't cost to much. just replace the pickups and maybe the nobs(or neck altogether) and it'll be just as good as a 1500$ Fender American Deluxe.

  • just gunna put my opinion out there i picked one of these up a few years ago for 200$ they're a great guitar to learn on but if u plan on playing anything on the rock and metal end of the charts forget this guitar. quite a good guitar to play for the cost though, guided me through my first 2 years of guitar playing with no problems. to be honest i regret not just skipping the steping stone and picking up a higher end guitar such as an ibanez or esp/ltd

  • Is it true that the Squire are really more for begginers?

    Sorry i just want to buy my first electric guitar, and i'm kinda in thdark about this... I'd like a Fender Stratocaster, but a friend of mine told me that the Squire would be perfect for begginers on the electric guitars...

    Thanks and best regards.

  • @100Underworld100 They're mainly used by beginners because they're so cheap compared to other competitors, that way if you end up hating playing guitar you're not too out of pocket

  • this whole reivew just said if ur looking to rock out don't get this guitar its a pice of hippie shit

  • - good quality for their prices i personaly think there better for only like 100 more tha a squire but its your choice srry for the comment below not being finished im using an ipod

  • @chrisguitarworld i think you should try an ibanez the got some good guitars from 200-400 for begginer/intermideate there really nice and good q

  • I am thinking of getting one of these as my next guitar. I am not a begginger exactly but im not quite ready for the top range guitars do you think this would be suitable for me. If not what do advise me to get?

  • You sound like bono ;)

  • how much it cost?

  • @djarcelona $120 I believe.

  • @djarcelona i bought a squier strat six years ago and it cost about 300€

  • One of the best reviews I've seen!! I have had Fender and Squier guitars, and to be honest I can't tell much of a difference. What do you think? Thanx

  • How much does it cost without bridge and strings I am selling one

  • @Hippyslob i live in newfoundland and newfoundlanders dont talk like that. most newfoundlanders don't talk with a "bayman's accent" which would sound sort of like a harsh irish/inglish tone but using words like b'y and skipper and generaly speaking very quick. the older newfoundlanders commonly talk like this depending where on the island they are from. kids use the accent to look cool.

  • just got a Squier. im a beginner and cant wait to start playin

  • I'm thinking about buying a Fender Squier but im just a beginner.Is the amp crappy because im getting it with a amp included with the guitar.It's like those beginner kits.

  • @Hippyslob I'm 100% Irish. Born, raised and living in the emerald isle :)

  • hi my friend i'm planning to make a guitar project so i was planning to get a good platform to modify and get a good strato sound, i was considering this guitar to change pickups for lace sensors gold or seymours duncan ssl 1 , so i want an opinion would it be a good choice? or should i go for a highend fender strat?

  • @wretcheddog it depends on ur overall budget but if u want my honest opinion I would tell u to go a bit better and think about a Mexican strat

  • @wretcheddog Get a classic vibe squier, they kill the mims.

  • Is there a guitar called starcaster by fender? Anyone knows how much is it to remove all the pickups and just place dirty finger humbuckers into the squire???

  • i have this guitar its beast

  • hey now look at this its we little leprachaun,good vid mate

  • Im thinking of getting an upgrade, like a better guitar what would you suggest to get next?

  • atren't you the guy of one of the funny auditions from american idol?

  • please do not call it a plectrum!

    it sounds so fucking stupid... call it a plecter

  • turd switch

  • i love the way you talk!!! :D

  • how much is this guitar? 125 € ?

  • lol that was the first guitar iv ever owned, now i go with my epiphone white costum les paul

  • hi... is it a floating tremolo??

  • On what tone level and bridge or what way from 5 switch way do you play, I need to get clean good sound :)

  • are the squier strats any better than the sx strats ??

  • i really want to know how do you get that rock sound out of a squier strat

  • Nice! I have a question though, I was wondering whether i should get the Squier Strat Affinity series, or the Squier Strat California Series? both look the same, but which one plays/sounds better? looking for something that sounds good in blue, jazz, rock n roll, and some hard rock. any help be greatly appreciated :)

  • can this be tuned to drop a?

  • @waterintoblood what?

  • @cronus4rock can this be tuned to drop A?

  • @waterintoblood ha. i like how i said what and you just respond the same exact thing haha. Anyways, i dont know why i even said "what" haha. Well, i would not reccomend tuning it that low.

  • @cronus4rock oh... so its not good for metal?

  • @waterintoblood well, its not BAD. it can be tuned into drop d. But drop A might be pushing its limits haha

  • @cronus4rock yeah u might be right

  • what series? california? and if so, can this go for rock n roll like ACDC? thanks for any help :)

  • i used to have a black squier, but it got stolen :(

    oh well, i got an epiphone les paul instead :D

  • @ChristianFS1 So, is the Epiphone much better?

  • @ChristianFS1 So, is the Epiphone much better?

  • @erikentenfresse i do think it's better, i got a good epiphone, and i had a very low-end squier... and, a MUCH better amp, so naturally, the epiphone will always sound better, because of the amp ;) but the squier was fine :)

  • @ChristianFS1: Thanks for your post, what amp do you you use now?

  • @ChristianFS1: Thanks for your post, what amp do you you use now?

  • @erikentenfresse oh sorry, what i was trying to say was- after my fender got stolen, i got a better amp, line6 spider III. it's ok, not amazing, will upgrade to a fender mustang v head soon, but anyway, it sounds better than the 10watt squier amp that came with the squier kit ;)

  • i have a black fender squire strat and its aweshum !

  • hey jamman i want to know the price of this guitar i want a guitar no pro only a good guitar this is a good guitar???

  • how much was this guitar????????

  • @mangaMANIA23 I bought this pack (guitar+amp+bag+etc) for around €200 at my local music store...

  • David Brent

  • some epiphones makes are bad, these guitars are trustworthy, maybe i bought a wrong guitar

  • I have a strat and after 1 year its impossible to tune it, you tune it perfectly then you check the tuning again and its dropped. Great beginners guitar but not that quality, maybe its only my guitar, But tese are definitely better than epiphones

  • is my guitar!!

  • You're Irish !

    G'man yourself ;)

  • i dont care for black Mormon commercials

  • Bought one about 3 months ago, just to start playing electric (been playing acoustic for about a year now). I like it a lot, but obviously it's a value guitar so I'm always drooling over the more professional models and chomping on the bit to upgrade. Just like he said, good guitar for the money.

  • @Lokeymun A strat at most music shops for the sunburst would cost about $500 for the pack and around $300 for just the guitar

  • it looks big

  • @GuitarsAreMagic lol I think hes a small guy!

  • Lol terd switch

  • could anyone tell me the price of one of these brand new and the aproximate price of a second hand one?

  • @lokeymun well, i don't about Australia, but it's about 200 dollars in the US so its going to be about 197 for you

  • @TheThinkTanksKid would that be a new one or second hand thanks alot btw

  • @lokeymun that's first hand like brand new and your welcome

  • for some reason, i have a version of that guitar and the that i put the plug into on the guitar its not very tight fitting, it like falls out O.O

  • Is it really necessary to change all the electronics?

  • i just wanted to know if i should trash my first act guitar for this

  • @Anarchyinoid dude i have a first act guitar too and i was wondering the same thing... it may be fun to smash but maybe i can sell it for accessories for the strat

  • I have one of these. but I have a question. the 2 tone knobs on it, what do they do? I turn them and nothing happens, nothing changes.

  • may get one and just put some decent pickups on it,

  • sometimes i poop when i sleep

  • its weird how he says guitar it sounds like hes saying GI-TOWER

  • I DRINK THAT WATER ON THE RIGHT!!!!! :D

  • haha, i got a fender squire at a pawn shop too, mine didnt come with a whammy bar but a bought one and you screw it in the slot and you move it up and down to change the pitch

  • im gettin this for christmas.

  • How come so many americans think irish people are canadian...? :-\

  • So if im right,......... this isnt a begginers guitar

  • how much is that set in u.s. dollars Jam man?

  • Which Strat is this Standard,affinity,California,m­exican,bullet or deluxe????Which one???How much does it cost???

  • Do u think that Cort KX5 or X5 are better than this guitar?

  • am thinking of getting this I am just learning to play one question I have is did you learn to play guitar by yourself or did you have someone teach you.

  • i want to know where you get that package??What amp you have?

  • What the hell was that song at the very, very beginning of the video?

  • I am thinking buy a squier set bass. I have a amplifire for guitar but i think than I can't turn a Bass in a guitar amplifire, so i need the bass amplifire too :S

    I don't know if i should buy jazz or precision! Someone can help me, please?

    I like play red hot chilli papers, Metallica, Ozzy osbourne, Iron Maiden, Muse, Pear Jam, bon Jovi, Manowar, Judas Priest, Guns n' roses, ACDC, Kiss, MOTORHEAD, Megadeth, Rammstein...

  • Where did you buy this guitar? I'm from Barcelona (Spain) and I want a Fender Squier Strat but I don't know if there is any type of offert here :/

  • heeey "Fender Squier Strat" is the same guitar as "Squier Buller/Affinity"?

  • If you've modified the guitar, how can you give a review of the Fender Squier Strat? You really can only offer a review of the guitar as you've modified it. Not everybody's going to be looking for, or playing, the same modified guitar. Right?

  • How noisy is this guitar with those single coil pickups? Is there alot of hum?

  • The headstock and body of your Squier look larger than my '87 M.I.J. Squier, but it sounds similar to yours. The Start style is very versatile for sound selections, and the neck is comfortable.

  • which guitar is better DEAN VENDETTA XMT OR THIS GUITAR?

    THANKS GREAT VIDEO

  • Whats the difference between this and the bullet?

  • Whats the difference between this and the bullet

  • how much is this guitar?

  • @ogbgang lol i got one of these for £125 with all the trimmings. i.e. amp, case, strap, tools. but the strings they come in are shit. it is impossible to drop tune anywhere below d. i replaced them with ernie balls super slinky strings, they sound much better.

  • Hey I got the same guitar but I was wondering if I should pull off what looks like a protective film on the original pickguard. It is starting to Come up and I don't know if you are supposed to take that off or not. Thanks in advance

  • Im sorry, but are you canadian?

  • @theillusionist6677 No I am Irish :)

  • @JAMMAN1701 Deffinately not a canadian accent.

  • @JAMMAN1701 this is awesome im irish too! :D

  • @JAMMAN1701  irish people like bitter beer and sweet blues riffs i heard

  • @theillusionist6677 ahahahahaa

  • @theillusionist6677 hahaha canadian!..we dont actually have an obvious accent..thats just some stereotype formed by shows like bob and doug mackenze...we do say eh a lot though..didnt really think we did but i went to school in the states and my friends took the liberty of pointing it out in various forms of violence every time i said it lol

  • @theillusionist6677 dude do you seriously think all canadians sound like that?

  • @am10159 Nope, he simple had a accent i couldent recognize, so i guessed,

  • @theillusionist6677 Fail, its obv he is irish lol ( i might just think its obvious cos im half irish but still XD

  • @theillusionist6677 you honestly couldnt tell that? you thought that was a canadian accent?

  • @highassgaboi lol arent u cool for bringin him down? haha he was just curious

  • @dontdareforget123 i wasnt bringing him down...i was just surprised :S...he dont sound canadian at all to me..thats all..

  • @theillusionist6677 canadian? really? im canadian and i dont talk a thing like that!

  • For 500 bucks schecter Damien elite great value for me. Shecter has some nice guiatr with sd that sound really good IMO I do t red a strat though ha but everyone has there own taste

  • You all just need to stfu ok who gives a flying eff if a mex strat blah blah a squire blah blah are we not musicians with differnt taystes can we not settle this or are we still in the dark ages

    were one is persecuted for an opinion. Ive said enougj. Good day

  • this is a standard model right?

  • Hey JAMMAN1701... All the Squiers are made of Agathis right? Is that actually bad? I want to buy my first electric and I'm confused between a Greg Bennett AV3 made from mahogany and a Squier made from Agathis. The Squier kinda sounded better though :P

  • does anyone no how an epiphone lp-100 compares to this?

  • @FstBoy1

    its a piece if shit compared to this guitar. if you want an les paul, just go with the standard.

  • can you make this sound like muse, or no? That's really all I care about.

  • i have this guitar and now that i consider myself pretty good i freaking hate this guitar! xD i wish i had a Schecter ATX now :/ the strat just doesn't play my music!

  • What do you think is weak about the original electronics? what have you changed them to? through an sp10 you arent going to be able to hear any difference.

  • can u easily take of the whammy bar?? bcuz i wanna buy it but i dont like the whammy bar

  • @katoe162 yes it is exremley easy to take off. all you have to do is turn it 2 times and it comes right off. its great

  • @katoe162 yes you can i have one and all you have to do is turn the wammy bar until it comes loose.

  • can u easily take of the whammy bar.. bcuz i wanna buy it but i dont like the whammy bar

  • better to buy the fender mexican or american standard strat cus its much better for the money

  • @Cyanide5151 What utter drivel, yet another youtube muppet.

  • @abergreg u see there is a thing called a better guitar and i have an amerian standard so dont tell me that im a muppet because i bet u know no shit about guitars mate so start learning, then come back to me wiv a decent argument u twat

  • @Cyanide5151 Ive been a luthier over 30 years, ive forgotten more about guitars than you will ever know, the american standard is a slightly better guitar, the squier standard if far better value for money. Your original comment is drivel and you ARE a muppet.

  • @Cyanide5151 OOH, BURN!

    Seriously, you're a raging faggot. Compose yourself, and come back with a decent, well-written argument that contains something other than ad hominems and bragging about which guitar you have.

  • @Cyanide5151 There's no such thing as a better guitar. Everyone likes a different look, different sound, different feel, it's all a matter of opinion. That said, some guitars can be put together better, they can be built to last longer or look nicer but they are never ''Better". Learn a little somethin' about guitars before you start accusin' somebody of knowin' nothing.

  • @Cyanide5151

    bullshit. fenders are a horrible value. for 1200 bucks i could buy an high end ibanez which beats anything fender has ever put out. squiers on the other hand are a splendid value. for 220 bucks you get a better guitar than the mexican made fender

  • @ReTr093 You've obviously never owned an American Standard Strat. The $500-1000 MIM Strats really aren't put together so well but MIA strats are an unbeatable classic that Ibanez will never achieve.

    BTW Squier is MIM.

  • @Playerc0

    i played enough to know that they're nothing special. they don't have any classic tone to them. apart from the shitty trebly sound they all have. fender is all about the name and quality control. and i own an j prestige ibanez, an esp eclipse II and a gibson les paul standard. i don't need a fender

  • @ReTr093 yes but i like the tone of fenders for clean tones, the ESP explorer and the Ibanez pres are good for metal tones

  • where did you get the set as shown in the picture at 0:02 and how much is it?

  • @CAP1997FURACAO dude i'm under 18 but over 14

  • save another few pound and buy a mim strat.....much better instrument.

    Jamman......did you buy a crate amp and cab from me bout 2 years ago?

  • @biddymagee No bro I dont own anything from from Crate :)

  • @biddymagee If you dont know what youre talking about why comment? a squier standard strat and a mex standard are very similar, the squier standard has better pickups. the squier probably has it.

  • @abergreg ,most folk would agree with my comment.

    Am entitled to my opinion just the same asyou are mate.

  • @biddymagee Most folk havent been a luthier for 31 years I have and like you they believe that if you pay double for something its necessary better quality. In this case it isnt and your comment that a mim strat is a "much better instrument" is nonsense.
