Beautifully made, plays like a monster, crazy versatile, lovely finish. I am going to do absolutely no mods until I wear out the nut.....what a prize. And cheap!!!

I have a 89 Korean made Squier II Strat (back routed HSS) and it's one of my best guitars. The flame on the maple neck is custom shop quality. I put Fender player series pick ups, CTS pots and Switchcraft switch/Jack in it and it sounds/plays great ! Best part is I found it in a thrift store for $100 w/ a gig bag and it had a early 80s Duncan JB in it that is worth the $100 I paid for the guitar. Score !

I bought the Squire Jaguar 70s Classic vibe, put a DiMarzio Superdistortion on the bridge and the DiMarzio 36th Anniversary humbucker on the neck, turning it into Kurt Cobains Jaguar. Sounds absolutely awesome and it’s incredibly versatile. I don’t think I will ever need the real Fender version because it makes the tones and sounds I want
@Left-Earth
@Left-Earth Год назад
I also have a DiMarzio Super distortion (vintage early 80's) in the bridge position of my Squier Bullet Strat. It's a great pickup that has aged well. But it has lost some of it's bite due to age. Compared to the newer Super Distortion pickups the newer ones have more punch and higher fidelity sound. But the vintage pickups have a smoother sound with less bass and excessive treble. I recommend installing a tone potentiometer for the bridge if you don't have one. Or piggybacking another pickup's tone pot. As this can cut some treble off and help tame the tone on a bridge pickup. And the Classic Vibe series is excellent. I got a Squier CV 50's Stratocaster and it's the nicest made guitar I've ever owned. Enjoy your Squier CV 70's Jaguar. 😎👍

My favorite Squiers are the ones made in Japan in the eighties. I have two MIJ Squier strats from that era, one red, I call my Andy Summers guitar, and one Lake Placid Blue. I have a mother of pearl pick guard with Lace Sensors in the blue strat and vintage-looking regular pickups in the red strat. Both look and feel great. Can't believe they're already considered vintage.

In 1983, inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan, I went into my local musical instrument shop to find a guitar. As a 15 year old kid Working weekends washing trucks, I didn’t have a pile of cash to spend. I was handed a white SQ series Squier Strat. Then I was handed a silver anniversary Fender Strat that happened to be on the wall, and the salesman asked me if I could tell the difference. I couldn’t see any advantage to spending double the money and I took the Squier home. I have never regretted that choice. Last year a friend mentioned that a Squier Telecaster had been left in his care by someone who left the country a few years previous. The fellow gave my friend permission to sell it for him. He pulled a dusty and grimy rather road worn ‘84-87 Tele that I’ve read may be a 52 reissue. After some TLC, I’m in love all over again. Plays like butter and sounds as good as any Tele I’ve heard. Squier has produced some cheap feeling instruments, but they have marketed some guitars that would make you reconsider buying a Fender!

The story I heard is that when Fender started making guitars in Japan, overseas distributors wanted a branding separating the American and Japanese lines. I've heard the original Squires starting in 82 were as good as anything Fender was making at the time. Maybe better given the well documented issues the American factory was having at the time. I also chatted with Scott Zimmerman a few times in online forums - he's a treasure trove of info. He was there at the beginning of Fender Japan. He knew Leo and his boss I think, for a while, was Freddy. Anyway I have 3 of the earliest - 2 Strats and 1 Tele (the tele is actually Fender branded) and they are amazing.

@@jamespinder6465 the early Squiers were as good or better than anything Fender was making at the time.

I think he said his 2 and 3 after that were Gretsch custom builds lol.

Hells yeah, I have a 1989 vintage white E-Series MIK Squier Stratocaster with maple/maple fretboard. Best Strat neck I've ever played, by a good shot. Full-sized body is hardwood laminate (alder I think) not solid or "plywood" but that's somewhat controversial. But in any case it's still a keeper for me. Nice to see them get some proper respect.

With my squier strat, I've painted on it, swapped out the pickguard and knobs, and attached a lapis cab to the headstock completely guilt free. But with my new fender, I'm waffling over putting a sticker on it. I feel so stupid for worrying about it, then I think of more mods for the squier. Pickups next! Something nice. I don't even care if it's "only a squier" so not worth nice pickups. It's my fun mod guitar. (And I'll get over my hesitation to decorate my fender.)

I had an early 80s (82-84?) Squier Bullet. Basically a strat body with a Tele headstock and the SMOOTHEST maple neck I've ever played! Apparently were made as students guitars but were pretty high quality and didn't get produced for too long. My (ex) gf at the time had a new American Fender strat and I honestly liked the feel of my Bullet better! It still Haunts me that I sold it. Been considering looking for another and maybe a Classic Vibe. Recently got a Tagima T-635 Strat Style guitar which is def a solid guitar But MAN do I miss that Bullet.

It's funny because I always gravitate more towards my modded Squier standard strat than any of my other guitars. Maybe it's the feel that I'm used to since I started playing 17 years ago on a Squier affinity strat or the time and effort I put in it 🤣. My iron label 26,5 " Ibanez rgd or whatever the complicated name is has a super sweet neck that's also has a wider string spacing that's more comfortable for my hands. But I always pickup the modded Squier.

Squier Strats are great. A good way to find out if the Strat shape and set up is or isn't for you without losing too much cash if it isn't. The Strat is definitely a different beast. I'm not a good enough guitar player to not go for a guitar that is as easy as possible for me to play. A lot of my favorite players play Strats or custom Strat copies, but I'd rather just do everything I can to make my limited skills sound the best they can. BTW The 1800s was the 19th century. We're in the 21st century.

I love my Squire Jag and its pushed my Starcaster, Strat and Tele back into the rack. - its 3 moths old - but it was a complete bag of spanners out-of-the-box. To list the problems: nut had to be filled and re-cut as two strings buzzed like FuzzBox: several frets were way high: intonation all over the place; strings hitting the bridge pickup; vibration through the trem bar: lose bridge: shorts in the jack socket . Otherwise, perfect. Ha Ha .All easily fixable but how this left the factory like this is a disgrace, so be warned ! I gather this is not typical but this was definitely knocked out on a Friday afternoon during"wine time". I didn't get it from PMT - maybe that's the problem?

I wouldnt call them facts more like tidbits of information from both a UK and US prospective, the reason for not having Squier branded musical instruments sold in the US as well as their homegrown Fender product was due to sales, if the US customers saw a cheaper instrument of a better grade quality in comparison to the US models, they would choose that cheaper one instead crippling their Fender sales. The UK side lead back to the second world war, after the war there were trade embargoes meaning all US products shipped to the UK were heavily taxed, the result of this meant the UK customer by default would opt for the asian equivalent due to how much cheaper (and in most cases) better made instrument. As Squiers were Japanese made (in the 1980s) they weren't subject to this levee meaning Fender could get more customers back through the Squir brand instead

LOL speaking of Vintage 1972 here!!!! I have one squier and the fret edges just tear up my hands. Maybe the newer ones are better?

That is one thing I always hated about the older (mid 90's - 00's) Squires. One thing you can do is take some high grit sandpaper and a small file and smooth the fret ends/edges of the fretboard. You can make it feel like a much nicer guitar. If you don't trust yourself to do it most luthiers will do it for around 50 to 75 bucks

Pretty cool that you graduated high school in the 90s. So when are you going to learn the difference between "you're" and "your" ?

What?? Vintage? You were born in 1992 you say.. I think you mean to say 'Matured' because to qualify as 'Vintage' it has to be in the circa early 70s California skinny skateboards,tube socks,roller skates,surfboard factory/warehouse,high shorts and printed tshirts era for it to be bonafide vintage. I'm the definer of word meanings and phrases of this quarterly

btw I was starting my senior year of high school in 92 so I technically am old enough to be your dad when I thought you were old enough to at least of played a Nintendo,,. or heard of one. It's a shame you weren't alive when the band 'In Living Colour' became known,because they were revolutionary and bad ass

Nice video... but you have your centuries all mixed up 😉 1865 (not 1965 like you said) is the 19th century, not the 18th 😁

Squire fact: You never know what you get. They differ in quality. You don't know what wood they use. Some bodies are one piece some not.
