Just picked this up Today at B. Street Music in San Mateo, Calif.!

Very Sweet, Rich, Twangier then many in the shop including some high End Strats!

...

Of course, some of the higher Regular Fenders were pretty solid, Good necks, Slick feeling ,,, but using the Blindfold Test and just, "Bang for The Buck" and general "Mojo" ,,, I took to the Squier Standard Stratocaster the Best and I like The Metallic Red!

I may slap on some different strings eventually!

Maybe even try Flatwounds some day ?

  • sir, what strings are you choose for that gorgeous squier?

    and excuse my grammar :) english isnt my native language

  • @theexelentsone

    I just use DAddario 11 - 49

    Thanks for watching!

  • Does this puppy stay in tune? im thinking about purchasing one but i need a guitar thats gonna stay om tune and not constantly need retuning everytime i play a lick, is it good at staying in tune?

  • @jakeyyvampiree

    so far, itr's not bad.

    The few times I played it with new strings, it may have needed some adjustment but I think it's allright.

    It's a fragile nice, easy going guitar with a great sound.

  • Great playing, really enjoyed the video, tell me is everything original? you haven't changed the pickups or anything have you?

  • @jakeyyvampiree

    Many Thanks!

    The guitar is all Original.

    I don't want to change anything about it, except the strings every once in a while :)

  • Great video. After 15+ years of playing the main things I've learned about guitar gear. a) £100 Squiers are great guitars, although you sometimes need to upgrade tuners for great tuning stability and a wiring upgrade is cheap and makes a great difference. b) A great quality amp will make more difference to your tone that spending five times as much or more on your guitar. c) in a club gig no one can hear the difference your boutique pickups make.

  • Great demo, man. I picked one up at a pawnshop in MT for 80 bones, put a less ugly pickguard on it and its winner winner chicken dinner! I also have a Squier Affinity Tele, don't let anybody tell you they don't sound great, 'cause they do!

    Keep the fingers loose and keep posting those vids.
