Squier Bullet strat vs Ibanez Gio vs Cort G vs Yamaha Pacifica - electric guitars under $250. 

I went and bought some M&M's after this video.

This analysis had help me to decide in buy a Ibanez. Thank you in spend your time to help us.

I really liked the way you presented this. Entertaining and educational at the same time.

Hilarious, and I'm still smiling. Most enjoyable YT demo I've seen, down to earth and informational. Saving in favorites to show to any beginner. And deft, confident playing as well. Cheers from Canada. :)

The only guitar review that references from cars, movies, pop culture, geography, science and other genre. Really funny and informative. Keep up the good work.

Nice review Sir. Many people usually go for the affordable ones and glad that you made a review of these relevant models.

Incredible comparing! Thanks for ur effort.

Excellent video. Your analysis was clear and easy to understand. Thank you very much.

This is the most useful detailed review that I've seen. I wonder why there are so few views. Thanks man!

Nobody explained it like this even after 3 years still the best video I could find.

Just the video i was looking for.. Thanks!

After 15 years i still love my Gio, will upgrade pickups for fun

Thanks for the detailed explanation about those small details that we all miss. I vote for Ibanez in terms of playability and feel

I think this is my favorite video on a side by side comparison of entry electric models.

I love the Nita Strauss signature, it has one element you didn’t mention, weight and feel. Love em light and thin

Really helpful and nice review, keep it up 👍

Maybe the best and most detailed review.. Thanks big time

Squier, Ibanez Gio, and Cort are manufactured in the same Cort Factory in Indonesia.

fantastic review, thank you

You picked me instantly up with your pickup.

Watched many reviews (specially about squire). Avoided this one because at first glance the m&m seemed ridiculous. But actually this was the most helpful review and I actually know what I want now. Thx

Thank you! I have a fender bullet and I love it but I did purchase an Ibanez gio gax75. They are two different guitars. Ive just startled playing guitar and im glad I started with these two.

This is brilliant. Great review and hilarious too

A very interesting & informative video. Thank you.

I'm only 3 mins in to this video.... but great guitar information for beginners like me. Top notch mate. And your voice/accent is great..... district n it makes u sound clever and funny at the same time! 👍😄

Great advice!!

Top creativity comparing guitar brands to cars. Brilliant! 😄

Thanks a lot. You solved my dilema

great review great humour

I love how he's eating the M&Ms in the middle of the review

Very useful review

Very helpful 💝

Loved this video, i was very undecided what to choose, the Ibanez or the Squier, i like more the Ibanez, thanks.

Thank You!

Your sense of humor had me laughing loudly in places. My neighbors certainly didn't appreciate my enjoyment at 8:00 a.m. on a Monday morning! Oh, well!

Hey cool vid! thumbs up!

I often find myself looking up Nita Strauss too......mainly her NAMM guitar booth demo in the early morning! 😆

I would go Ibanez. The sound was nicer, and the maple top is FAR more visually appealing than the Squier top (and it has more color options too).

thank you

I’m being gifted that Ibanez for my birthday and I am excited. I have a single coil tele and a single coil p90 Les Paul, so I am lacking a humbucker currently. Love Squier, but for heavy distortion, Ibanez seems to mop the floor with the Squier humbuckers.

Should have used a Cort G250. More in the price range of the Ibanez but has Wilkinson pups, and a coil tap on the bridge humbucker. Also much heavier than a Squier, so better tone and sustain. Also mine is set up really well with a low action, so none of the playability problems with the Cort on test here. I'd really recommend trying a G250, its probably better than all those tested here and wont break the bank, especially 2nd hand as the brand is less well known, so used values are a bargain although I think people are getting wise as the prices seem to going up.

Nice video.... Love from India...

Excellante!!

I need help, i´m between thepacifica 012 and cort g110, what would you recommend, another fact is that the cort costs ($170 usd) and the pacifica costs ($214 usd) in my country(Colombia), I´m looking the best for the price Thanks

Great video. Would 'Like' but there are no longer any 'Dislikes'.

Nice Review.. I see you weren't able to resist those m&m's..

Do you think a similar priced HSS Ibanez would change anything? Like the GSA60 or GRX40?

If you want to play metal, get a 24 fret Ibanez, and have the pickups replaced in a few years if you think you need it. Spend as much as you can afford. It is extremely likely that a $200 Ibanez has low action. There is a slight chance of sharp fret ends, but these can be easily filed down. Anything else start with an 21 fret Squire Affinity (which has a HSH rout), and then mod it over the years. Squiers are less risky because they are so easily modded. The Affinity neck can replaced with a standard Fender. GFS has solder less harnesses so you can experiment with any pickups, and Warmoth has Fender pick gaurds where you can specify either humbuckers, p90, mini or vintage singles. GFS also has short block trems to upgrade the Affinity. In short, with a small investment, you can get virtually any 21/22 fret guitar you like.

Thank you very much for these information. One question sir, If personally you want to go for Cort G250 or Pacifica 112VM, which one would you prefer?

Got my squier but the m&m is more tasty and crispier till forget bout the guitar for a moment

have you tried washburn lyon? I wish it was included in the video. I need some reference for the lyon

Wow ! Simple and logical ( also a lot of slim shaddys)

I like how you are audibly eating M&M's through out the entire commentary.

Man, with model is the cort g? I can´t find it.

first time I tried a cort strat(not that good looking one) on a guitar shop and im so impressed I just want to buy it unfortunately I have no money. I owned gio and that cort's playability is way better in my feel. I agree with you it is better to try it first before buying than ordering online because your feel is all that matters

Jesus christ, man, two seconds earlier and you would have had me with the "Bolt(-)on" neck with coffee in my mouth...

late comment but what do you think about jackson js 22 compared to these

Which one is better

If you had to pick would you do squier or gio? I’m trying to decide between squier and gio and the draw really didn’t help! Good review tho!

Thank you, now I want some m&ms too, jaja!

Can you make the same video but replace Bullet with Affinity next? 3:45 Love you sense of humor 🤣🤣🤣

In my country, Ibanez Roadcore 320 costs the same as Squier Affinity Bullet? Which one are you recommended, Sir?

Idealnie,wlasne nad Yamaha, Ibanezem i tym niby Fenderem sie zastanawiam :) Ogladam juz trzeci dzien tego jutuba i leb mi peka:) Moze doradzisz cos jesli chodzi o wzmacniacz? Dopiero sie ucze grac(taka fanaberia na stare lata) i nie mam za bardzo pojecia o calym temacie. Zastanawialem sie nad Fender champion 20, Orange crush 20 i Vox pathfinder10.Dzieki za filmik i pozrdo!

Which one is more suitable as a starting guitar : Yamaha Pacifica 012, ibanez GRG170dx and ibanez GRX70QA.

This is probably the only beginner guitar comparison that I’ve seen that the Yamaha doesn’t win and strangely enough it got dead last. My mind was made and I just watched one more video to confirm my decision on the Yamaha but now I have more to think about.

What do you think about Ibanez Grx 40?

Can you please tell me which one is better Ibanez grx140 or fender squier?

Is there any difference QA / DX?

this is science

Which could be the best in order of versatility

You know the diffrence between Ibanez grx70qa TBB and Ibanez grx70qa TRB ??? I know it is diffrent with the switch. In TBB there are 3 modes and in TRB 5 modes in switch. That's this only diffrence? So which one is better?

Which guitar should i take? 1. Ibanez grx40 2. Ibanez grg140

I want to know what car you think my fender telecaster is!

The World would a better place if we measured everything in M & Ms! 😆

Cort must be a hot hatchback, and Ibanez a 4x4 massive rock crawling jeep I reckon!

Is that squier affinity or bullet?

You should have chosen the Ibanez Grx40 instead of that Grx70qa, to be fair with Ibanez. The Grx40 is an HSS strat.

A complete video

Honestly, yamaha is the fastest😁

Which is best according to u personally

fuuck okay dude im going to save up abit more for squier

Sorry for correcting but its spelled Squier not Squire

Which one is better?

I wanna eat those M&Ms!!!

Ibanez Grg70qa or Cort X250 ? Which one is the better?

Uuuughh dear lord why is picking a guitar so hard. I was dead set on a yamaha pacifica 112j and most people say yamaha is better but then you say it's the worst :(((

So if I have a Corolla AND an Ibanez.... 😅

that's cute how you use M&M to do the review

I guess yamaha was underrated :(

Fun Fact: Cort (Cort Tek Indonesia) builds almost all of the Ibanez Gio/GRX's...a fair amount of the Squier Bullets and Affinity's and some of the Yamaha Pacifica line up's... Sooooo...in fact...most of the guitars in this review ARE Cort's LOL :)

whatever just dont buy a squier ever!!! Buying a squier is a lottery, only 1 of 10 squiers are decently build.

Does this guy know that guitars can be set up? It sounds like none of these were, he just took them out of the box and judged them without setting them up. High and low action isn't dependent on the brand, any guitar can be set up to have a low or high action.

Why the hating on the Pacifica? Worse than a Cort cmon.

But none of these guitars have the bitter sweet chocolaties taste like the m&m's

👎👎👎
