Turning A Squier Into A RIFF MACHINE | Squier Sonic Mod 

Squire should definitely do your signature model! Squire Absorber, that sounds wicked

That's a killer mod job! Why would you spend $1300 on a Tom DeLonge Strat when you could have a Squier Absorber!

Any one else notice how his hair waves in the air lemme just say it’s pretty awesome

My god use a file man haha 😢

Also, the HB locking tuners are VERY good! They hold up really well even playing multiple gigs

Everything is OK, and many will agree, some will say that there are much better guitars for that money, but one thing is certain: It's a guitar FOR GIRLS OR GUYS.

I was a bit hesitant about these sonics at first but i REALLY like the purple tele im definitely thinking about trying it now

Love me a pink guitar. Also love watching you saw *towards* your fingers with no protection. I expect Don’t Close Your Eyes next time!

Came for the Sonic Strat and Kirby, stayed for the music and Homer! Amazing stuff!

That's a pretty cool little squire you got there now. These rebuild breakdown videos are always a lot of fun

Die Gitarre ist einfach extrem cool geworden! Das pink und schwarze ergänzt sich einfach perfekt. Und dann noch Kirby 😍. Hört sich auch richtig gut an. Gute Arbeit!

Okay, i'm sold. Gonna grab the Esquire and do this same thing at some point.

That guitar is actually a thing of pure beauty! I wanna do one myself now! 🤣

Need to build one now as a tribute to two guitars that were staples in my guitar learning My first guitar a red 2007 Slammer by Hamer SSS Strat that was absolute dog💩 that I got for $200 Canadian with an Line 6 Spider 2 15w and then my Rocksmith Edition 2011 Epiphone Les Paul Junior. Mod plans: -higher end hard tail top loading bridge (probably Gotoh) - Seymour Duncan distortion bridge - body match the headstock and back of the neck - black pickguard 3D printed to support Gotoh’s 510 wraparound bridge - Gotoh standard tuners or Harley Benton Locking tuners.

Thanks SO much for this! Been super curious for a couple months about the routing on the HT, this was exactly the info I was after. Bought one immediately after seeing this vid and can’t wait to start modding it! Thanks again

omg your sawing technique is stressful

Thanks for showing it is routed for HSH. i plan on putting a high output hum-bucker in the neck BUT hide it under the pickguard and use a push pull pot to engage it. Nice mod BTW.

Give Kirby some long black hair and youll be done.

It needs a hello kitty sticker

Man that fishman is doing god's work

[Nintendo wants to know your location intensifies] This turned out pretty sick.

Pink guitars are the best

Seriously, the only reason o buy an expensive guitar these days is simply because you want one! Cheap guitars are so good now!

Affordable guitars have come such a long way even since I started playing in the early 2000's. Back then if you got and I did, a guitar for $200 or less it was basically guaranteed that it would be a piece of shit. Now there's things like this guitar, Harley Benton's, the jackson js series of which I own one, all great guitars for $300 and under.

would probably be a perfect guitar with 24 frets

people always act like squiers are completely garbage and super shitty compared to fender, but while yes they're made cheaper, they feel and play just as good as a fender, and with mods they can only get even better

why not just drill a hole for the tone knob? i'm doing one with a black pickguard, and sd invader pickup but putting some white paint over that pink first

The scratched-up Kirby design actually looks pretty cool to me, reminds me of Smash Bros Brawl lmao

Been looking for the same kind of Pickguard everywhere. Link?

Not sure if you had enough room in the body cavity, but if you wanted a tone knob, you could have used a concentric pot and had a volume and tone control with just one visible knob. It's never too late to take some careful measurements and drill a second hole in the pick guard either, this way you get to use your second knob, if it's still floating around.

Working to get the light blue one of these for hella cheap and do something similar ❤ kick ass

This was an awesome video!! You reallly transformed that into a beast. Cheers from Nova Scotia

Ya know, i can respect the playability of some Fender/Squier stuff. But the shape of their headstock is just so unattractive to me. Its the rounded bulb on the top. I get its iconic. But its literally the one thing thats stopped me from ever buying fender

I have to have a humbucker in my strat. Im really digging everyone putting only one in these strats. I hella want to do that to mine. Shit dude i feel you on thie pick gaurd. Every damn time i get a pickgaurd for my strats they always dont fit right lol but it always works out

Black TUSQ nut! Looks and sounds great, nice work! 🎸🤘🎸

toll!

If possible do you have a link to the bridge on amazon - nevermind I found the bridge

hello, i'm working on a similar project. How is the quality of that bridge compared to the original?

where did you get the pickguard? i kinda want one of them myself now

Dude, sounds great. Your playing abilities could probably make the crapiest guitar sound at least tolerable. 👍🖤🤟

Welp, guess I found my next project! Thanks! Hahaha

That sort of quack on the clean tone sounded really tits. I was expecting it to be unstratoguitar-like, but was pleasantly surprised. Fish Man pretty good.

Desecrator!!! That whole album is a riff bulldozer, very nice inclusion of some Exhorder.

It's nice that they shimmed it, but that shim is really bad. It doesn't make full contact with the neck and can lead to the neck and/or the pocket to warping over time. It's better to have a full contact shim.

I dont like pink guitars unless its a 1985 magical mystical shredder

bro give me some tips for this mod i'll make something like that in 2024 July❤

A better guitar can only make you so little better but a good guitarist can make the lowest line guitar sound pro

Looks like it needs Shielding (Aluminum Foil Tape) on the electronic device. quite noisy in Distortion mode.

A 1 humbucker guitar doesn’t look right with a tone knob. Good choice sir

Strats need more hardtails! My dad has a Strat FSR With an HSH but the middle pickup is a telecaster

I just dropped my squire esquire off to get locking tuners, new nut and a nazgul put in it lol

I've been waiting for this for three hours since i watched that 1st squire video. +points for kirby

do you know if that guitar has a normal strat neck pocket ? i am curious if its possible to swap necks

Saw away from you. Looked like an accident waiting to happen

My pink is on backorder.

Anybody know why you can’t just drill another hole in the pick guard so you can still have the tone knob? I’m thinking of modifying a squire in a similar way in the future and wanted to check

Might go for a black ine and have an anodised gold pickguard, ive been looking for a project

Think I might have to get me the black one, Im sure I have a Dimarzio to stick in there. :)

exhorder went hard on the squier

That don’t look like a shim that looks like a block of wood 😂 way too much to leave the factory

dont need the tone knob on a guitar like that. its for JAMMING

dont care much for the clean sound ...but the crunch was great !

So you hacked chunks off but didn’t drill a hole?

Wow I'm soooo glad I found this. I've been considering snagging one of these since I recently purchased an old Squier 7 string and fell in love. Wasn't sure if it was routed for HSH or not. Love what you did with it and you've basically sold me on it! Also subscribing now because your riffs are amazing!!!

Bro.... what happened to that short I saw this morning? The "Please don't take this down, Yngwie" video of you playing that pink, squeezy, phalic looking slide thingy??? I wanted to know the name of that song you were playing it to.... If SixString doesn't answer me, did anyone else see that short?

Does refs in the beginning, sound like nuclear assault?

ive been searching for a black metal pickguard for my squire HH project too but no luck in europe...if anyone has any place to recommend please let me know!

Very cool guitar…excellent work…I would rock the shee-it outta that thing👍

That guitar looks absolutely amazing. Good work!

I can’t find this pick guard, please link

I really want the purple esquire and this is not helping😂

Thats a sick looking guitar..sounds amazing with the fishman..i was looking at getting the new tom delonge signature..now im seriously contemplating getting the pink sonic strat.. with a custom hello kitty pickgaurd with a slight alteration. New pots, bridge, tuners and a seymour duncan invader...decisions decisions.. sny advice on what i should get.. great vid bro..respect from the UK and a new subscriber right here..

Ive been wanting to build a guitar like this for ages i love it but i think it would look cooler if you replace all the hardware screws with black ones an put a black roller string tree on the headstock

I had just bought one and was planning on doing the same thing when I found your video. Great stuff

You have to send the guitar down in order for the paint the stick on it. It’s not gonna stick to shiny lacquer. It’s gonna roll off.

What bridge are you using on this?

How does getting a pink guitar make you a gluten

Some people dream about doing the mods Kaylen does... I dream of having such a glorious hair as Kaylen has.

Those squiers look like so much fun to mod. Cool project man!

Where did you get the black bridge from?

you should have just included a invader :D

squier machine gun kelly lol XD

That's just bad ass! I'm absolutely in love with it.

y didn't u change nut and string tree(s)?

Thank You for all you do .

I didn’t know Steve Vai hosted this show!

Bit of a pain to change the battery, roller string trees would have been a cheap upgrade too.

Ahh the Machine Gun Karen Signature Guitar

Musiclilly hardware is solid aye eff.

You should definitely do a video on the Amp 1 Iridium

Way too much spray paint at once imo. Should be a nice fine mist. Greater distance and faster passes

Hey. Your guitars are lovely.The red one is wicked. Any tip on how to learn about wiring, I have cool ideas for my guitar but don't know how to do it. Any help is appreciated.

balance the audio levels my guy

thanks, now i want to buy a blue one, blue for doraemon from japanese carton .

Wish these came in more colors. I will hold out trying one until they come in white. EDIT: The pickup swap really helped with how the guitar sounded on the high strings. So much more output.

Is the stock pot 250k?

This one or the baretta special?

That's sick brotha! Would love to have you on my Rockland Revolution podcast.

Thank you RU-vid recommended. This is awesome! Honestly I’ve thought about buying one and doing the same lol
