Squier Telecaster Custom II

Haven't done a video in a while so here's some riffs with my new guitar, Squier Tele Custom II. Pretty sweet guitar for the £120 I paid for it, although I plan to upgrade the pickups to GFS, and also upgrade the pots and switch, maybe the tuners to Sperzel too. As you can hear, it's a pretty ballsy sounding guitar.

cornford?That's a highend amp,innit?Anything would sound good through that.

@rw5791 In theory - it's expensive but I wouldn't say it sounded particularly great, in retrospect.

Your guitar looks lighter in colour than other videos on here

are there different paint-jobs of this guitar in blonde? or did u paint strip?

[metalcore929]

@Just8eatit Nope, that's the stock blonde. I think it's only available in blonde or black.

[thedeadliest]

what ampli did you use?

[metalcore929]

@thedeadliest I think a Cornford Harlequin

@LittleEmoBoy001 Hey, EmoBoy, how about watching the video before commenting? That was really a sad and misplaced comment.

[metalcore929]

Is that what this is?

[rw5791]

@ThisIsNotHappyDays let's put it this way..............I'd much rather play this budget guitar through that hand wired cornford than a custom shop guitar through a POS printed circuit board amp.

@rw5791 Trust me when I say that "anything" does not sound good through a high end amp.

You'd like a band called Kamchatka if you've not heard them already. Great band!

[eugostodeabacaxi]

Does it hum a lot? =s

[soadrhcpmuse]

FUCK I LOVE YOUR PLAYING! Its so raw! Sort of like Johnny greenwood.

[loeher182]

why did you use the looper only towards the end? the riff sounded cool too...

[jonasjar]

real nice playing, these are P90's?

@klv400 Well, approximately 300 bucks AND you have to know how to do the work and be willing to dissect a guitar you just paid 200 for. For me it's well worth it, some people would rather pay $5K for a custom job done to their exact specs and not have to lift a finger, but I find that I enjoy an instrument more if I have done some work on to get it to a point where it's really "mine".

@AdamRainStopper if it is $300.00 for all the parts that is the way to go.

@klv400 If what he wants is a tele style body, maple neck and fingerboard, sperzel tuners and GFS soapbars, there really isn't anything he just go out and buy. I am a paycheck to paycheck laborer, my rent and other necessities take 75-80% of my income. However, If I want a killer tele, I get a squier standard tele, GFS pickups, graphite nut, wilkinson tuners, and set it up. For a total of around $300 + a few hours of work, I get a tele that would have cost a grand if I just "bought what I want".
