Rescuing a Rare Dumpster Guitar From the 90's 

The long-form videos are excellent. I'm really loving them!

Absolutely love the long form videos Mr.Piscopo! Looking forward for more!

My favourite bit is that you kept the Punk Rock history of the guitar intact. The stickers, the pickup swap, the mojo! Everyone else would’ve peeled the stickers off, refinished it, cleaned it up to the point that it’s unrecognisable. You wouldn’t dare to remove the original paint off of a vintage 60s Fender, so why do the same to a 90s Squier with an equal amount of personality!

what is the song he plays at the start at 0:14?

They threw away a perfectly functional Squier strat with a Seymour Duncan pickup in a dumpster ?? People are crazy...or weird... Their loss...your gain... I can relate to that, out of the 167 guitars in my collection 8 were found in dumpsters or on the side of the road or in old dusty attics of the house my parents ( or me later ) had bought... Maybe I do attract them 🙂 ?

Keep the long form videos coming, I can tell you've prepared them in advance and they're looking to be great so far!

My dad called me the other day when his neighbor tossed a Squier tele on the curb for free. He snagged it up, sent me the pics and it looked rough but it was a 1998 early affinity series tele. Did a full restoration and it sounds amazing. I also own a 1995 black label Strat that says Fender on the headstock but seems to be built identically to yours. It has a smaller stamp on the ball of the headstock that says “Squier series” but from what I can tell the body and neck are on the level with American made or modern Mexican Strats. After a quick pickup upgrade it became one of my main guitars.

0:46 you lost me with this. Squire are good instruments. Snob kid.

i have a black label strat. bought it for like 300 and i’ve covered that mf in stickers cause im not letting go of it

Can you make a vido of your first guitar and story of it

You should do more long-form content. You're insight and presentation is very entertaining

Great video! Lately you’ve been a huge inspiration to me as a guitar player! Thank you!

Nice video man! By the way, I don't know if you already do this, but I'd recommend to set up the guitar with the TRAIN method. (Tune, Relief, Action, Intonation, Noodle). It has been pretty effective with my guitars! Nice restoration though, keep up the nice work. :)

When you hooked up the guitars to the DS1 I actually liked the sound of the Squier most. Goes to show how much a good setup can do for a cheap guitar

That bridge pickup is gorgeous. Definitely not stock

what kind of pick up is in the bridge? Is it a mini jb

Great video, what was the song you were playing in the intro? (0:14)

4:19 speaking of that, I actually own a Kurt Cobain vandalism Strat. It was actually an handmade Custume replica I made with my dad, and I still have it to this very day of course, with no dents or chips or tape like that. just simply clean with the sticker but I’m glad to see the previous owner got inspired by a legend’s guitar.

Someone has to know what the song at the beginning is

HE USED DISTORTIN

5:38 fucking love that chug

Great Video Love The Guitar.

I love your ds1 phone

That riff at the beginning tho

So nice to see this guitar have a second life. It sounds great just like your 63. My first two guitars were from this time period and I was told the same thing when I got them in the mid 90s. America parts made in Mexico. The guitars were under 200 dollars.

what song was that😍😍

Good to see some respect for the squire. So overheated. Keep up the good work mike

love your videos :)

These videos are the best Guitar content. Please keep doing these longer videos we love em.

Cool single coil sized humbucker

I wish I could work with you and restore these guitars would be soo much fun to do

Please keep making lomg form content! This is 100 times better than short form content.

Should've put a flat end against the flat part of the nut (from the fretted side) and given it a tap tap to remove the nut. Also remember to take 0000 wool across the length of the frets. You removed gunk off the board but added scratches to the frets which you can feel with bending

Heyy!!! You can just get PUSHED TO POINT!!! I tried to smash my tv screen out with my American strat (has a blast mark like that) That was my Girlfriend at the time and I arguing while drinking a handle of Sailor Jerry's rum! I was cool!!! She just KNEW how to push it!! Didnt bust the TV (oldskool thick glass tv) BUT it stopped the argument! I think I sent upstairs and she stayed down or I stayed down and she went up? Nearly 20 years AGO!?!? My gawd I'm getting OLD!!!!

4:07 “the guitar was screaming punk rock” proceeds to talk about nirvana

Man that 90s Strat sounds amazing. I wanna add stickers to my guitar so bad but I don’t know

I like your full videos much more than shorts, keep it up!

Hey man I’m gonna get any first strap can you help me understand how it works and how to get Jimi Hendrix’s tones and Stevie Ray Vaughan please? Thank you

4:15 or Kurt's K strat if you don't know what's Kurt's k strat it's his first strat is was white with a white pickguard with a black slanted humbucker in the bridge passion and with k recerds sticker on it and kurt got same logo tattoo on his arm. It's sad to say that is most likely stolen along his mosrite gaspol

keep it up with the long form videos man, fits your humor and the way you make your content realy well!

Mikey could u possibly teach me how to play that riff u were playing in the beginning

Ngl the sounds are far different but I like the dumpster strat best LOL

I always see this guy in yt shorts and i love this guys content

Damn, I didn’t know my friends call me cunning

Can anyone tell me what song he’s playing at the start of the vid?

Nice video!

whats the song in the beginning called?🥺🥺❤

Aaa someone has the name of the first song???

Another long from video let’s go

keep making these longer videos

Whats the name of the song from the start?

💀I know that’s a Donner

Do one on the jaguar!!!

Anyone know what that song at 0:14 is?

Great job, bud🤩

Song name from intro? 0:15

Let's go!!!

Does anybody know what pickups are in the bridge?

Mr mustache🔥🔥🔥

I gotta say, I absolutely love your longform content. Keep it up dude!

Squiers are great

STONE PONY T SHIRT

That’s mine

Razor blades for scraping off DNA from the fretboard makes quick work of that scum. Hold the edge 90° (think L) and gently scrape the gunk.

Can you make a video about active and passive guitar pick-ups? I don't see much people know this. You're videos are like consantrated package food, has a little length and you think this won't be enough, but when you open it... And also thanks! 😅

If you botched installing a new nut you wouldn't have to throw it away. A broken or incorrectly installed nut isn't a reason at all to throw away a guitar. If all else fails simply bring it to a repair shop. Don't put this beauty in a dumpster.

From my experience, Squier's that are crafted in Indonesia are usually really well made guitars, far superior to the same guitar but made in China

Looks like there’s a SD screaming demon stack in the bridge too! Score!

Rad but surprising no truss tweak needed? All the frets were level, smooth? Sounds really good and the longer vid length is nice too.

The squire sounded perfect for mr. Moustache

Still have my HSS Squier Bullet Strat for 2 years and still love it to death, never wanted to upgrade it to a Fender.

I hope you make more vids like this, I love the longer format vids

Glad I just joined🙂🙃😎🎸🎸🎸🎸

damn, that is such a cool guitar with a JB junior to my suprise lol

Do more full length vids Also what a lovley guitar there

The dumpster squier nailed the Mr moustache tone
