Sincerely agree. I picked up a (used) Squier Thinline Tele (60s classic vibe) and I could not be happier. I was shocked at the quality. Obviously it's not top of the top but for the price point I kinda think they're unbeatable. Hearing the squier tele in this just solidifies that opinion for me.
Squier keeps helping fender not get stuck. These colors and finishes and ideas seem so much more bold. Fender should be releasing so many more colors, options, and short runs.
they were just a young 18 years when I came along, they have just always existed to me and probably many others watching, crazy to imagine a world where your first guitar wasn't one.
Jeff Healey absolutely played a Squier! My first electric was a black Squier Strat (which is now my son’s) and when I saw an ad where Jeff was playing his Squier Strat I was over the moon. Jeff Healey was also the first concert I ever went to way back in 1990 I believe and he’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

Purchased the 40th Anniversary Satin Blonde Telecaster and oh my god what a beautiful instrument it is. The neck is absolutely KILLER. There are a few minor superficial flaws and the neck pickup is mostly unplayable but as a $300 moddable platform with an incredible neck and delivered to my home it was a bargain👍🏽 thank you Squier
I just picked up a 40thAE Tele, red like the one in the video, from a major US retailer who had it on an irresistible sale. I brought along my 20+ year pro guitarist brother for help checking it out, and we both agreed that even at full price these things are an absolutely spectacular deal, with the Tele in particular there's really no comparison until at least the over $1k Vintera. One thing I'll say, though, is that I highly recommend trying multiple examples out in person before buying, we did that and there was a shocking amount of variation in sound between them, the one I bought had a MUCH hotter bridge pickup than the one before it, really awesome cowboy boot stomping country sound that the other example totally lacked.
My 2015 Fender standard tele stays at home while my CV squire tele makes it to the clubs. It says in tune and sounds good and if it gets damaged it isn’t a big big deal. Still a deal, but…Pine body, brass saddles and bone nut is all you need.
Honestly I have Fenders and Squires, man it hard to tell the difference. Squire is so good these days its really crazy. If you are on a budget it's a no brainer to get the Squire.
I have the 40th anniversary Jazzmaster in Seafoam. It feels better to play than my Vintera Tele Deluxe. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more pros using them on stage.
You won't. It's a cheap guitar for good reasons. If you see it on TV it's probably something the venue had in stocks they could loan to the gig musician at the time. Go play a real fender side by side to the Squier and feel the difference
@James Tillman I have played them side by side. There is some difference, as you would hope seeing as fenders cost several times as much as the squiers do. But it's not a huge difference and there is absolutely nothing wrong with a good squier, and absolutely no reason why a professional musician couldn't use one for a live performance. And in fact they do, on occasion. The great jeff Healey played a squier strat for a long time, and sounded great, and Peter perret of the band The Only Ones plays one also. There's no reason why any professional couldn't use one, but many of them have their own signature fenders or whatever, or like to use vintage instruments. Also your average rock star makes a lot of money, so it stands to reason they would invest more money into their instruments. Not because there is anything wrong with a squier, but rather because a more expensive instrument will probably be just that great, as well being more desirable, naturally. Nothing wrong with squier though.
I picked up a seafoam Strat for under $300 last Christmas. Decked it out with a white pearloid pick guard and upgraded the electronics. Great cheap axe.
Pretty sure it’s a polyester vs polyurethane thing? Fenders urethane finishes always come in much nicer colors than their polyester offerings and squier exclusively used urethane
@@ragnadrabinowitz7629 unfortunately it arrived damaged. I wasn't as impressed with the guitar as I'd hoped, the frets were rough and the neck was warped. The guys at Anderton were great as usual and provided a refund. I was going to exchange it for another copy however going into the store I realised that the G&L guitars were better finished for a similar price. Decided to rethink about my next guitar purchase. It's a cool looking guitar for sure but not the one for me.
@@thewoodster the hazards of buying a guitar online. sorry, your experience was not good. I found one at a music store and I thought it was very well put together. the store knocked 100 bucks off the price and I couldn't resist.
All great additions to the Squier brand! I really like the Tele more than the others, though I must add that the neck pickup of the Jazzmaster is really schweeeeet!! Well done, Squier!
These sound the biz! That Jazzmaster has a very 'un-jazzmastry' snarl....sounds pretty bloody good! They've hit home runs with these pickups across the range!
Just purchased a used vintage modified jazzmaster 🔥sonic blue, rosewood finger board, Duncan design pick ups, followed puisheens RUclips channel for jazzmaster setups, raise the bridge and shim the neck. Love that guitar . Holds tune sounds great! Also played a 50s CV strat with that pine body. Awesome guitars coming from squier.
Tough call here. If the tele was $500 I would've done it, but $600 puts you in range of a used MIM Fender, and is about what we were paying for them in '20. I love the color but the price is pushing me towards a CV if I'm gonna go Squire.
Famous Squier players include George Harrison who used a strat at the 1987 Prince's Trust concert. Also Mike Rutherford used a Squier on the recent Genesis tour.
Man I love that two tone burst on that strat. I actually tend to steer away from bursts cause the line is too thin and too definite. I like when they fade towards the center of the guitar.
You young pup's aren't old , I'm 55. I had the Squier Affinity Tele and I had absolutely no issues with it at all , it was a solid guitar. I only paid $225.00 for it , I since sold it only because I built myself a custom Tele. They have definitely upped their game!
Great guitars, have owned Mexican and Japanese fenders and these have set the bar for affordability and craftsmanship. The surprise me every year with their offerings. Great review too.
Very Cool Demo/Review Thankyou. I Have a 2 color sunburst Squier with wood grain showing through, Most Stunning Finish I have seen on a guitar. Amazing to play too.
I'm lucky enough to have some high end guitars but the guitar I always reach for is my squier esquire.. just love it.. if these are as good.. count me in!!!!.
I put a fender neck on my satin sunburst vintage edition Squire and now it’s better than my American professional 1 no joke. I got lighter one and the vibration of the strings and the acoustics none plugged in is just so much better!! This new wood was a great move!! It’s so good that I just bought a squire vintage edition telecaster. Earlier today!!!
I really enjoy the videos you guys put out ! The information about the gear and the great playing and the fun laid back approach that you give your audience is amazing. It always makes me grab my strat. And want to sit in with you both. The beautiful playing at the end touched my soul and it reminds you why I love the guitars and amps I have. Thank you Captain and Pete ! In this crazy world you guys take me to a place where I forget that craziness and it reminds me why I love guitars and music .
Recently got a Squier Bullet Tele with plans to upgrade most of it. After playing it, I think it only needs a nut and a neck pickup, but even the stock pickups sound pretty damn good. Squier is really building some very solid instruments for not a lot of money.
Quality tuners, pots and a graphtec nut and your choice of pickups will really do something to that strat. I had the squier affinity strat (one step above yours) and did just that but used CS69' pickups. That thing sounded amazing. Sold it to fund an expensive guitar but I still miss that damn thing.
@@Tomekkplk It's a Tele, but yeah. The tuners seem fine after weeks of playing it, so I'll leave them alone-I only want to spend so much on a $150 guitar. May do the nut. Already got the pickups, just waiting to have them installed with new saddles. Pots and 4-way switch may come at some point, but for now they're fine.
Squier is spelled that way because it was the name of the founder. That seems to be the most common spelling of the surname. Likely both spellings were common for both the word & the surname before spellings gradually became more fixed, and it just happened that one variant won out for the word & another for the surname.
I just got the telecaster, the blonde/butterscotch one. And it's absolutely great! I went to buy a classic vibe, and it was good, but was a little heavy and I just couldn't get on with the glossy neck. Then I tried the 40th anniversary and it was perfect! All the goodness of the cv, but with a nice satin finish all over and especially on the back of the neck, so no stickiness. And the binding and the anodised aluminium pickguard are just great. I'm actually really tempted to get the strat version also! Cos I know I will end up buying a strat one day and so I might go ahead and pick up this 40th anniversary one while I can.
Wondering if it's a light blonde or more yellow blonde? I'm really tempted by the blonde model but don't like the more yellow butterscotch blonde colourway! 😅
I have many Squiers, including Teles, Strats, P &J Basses, and a Starcaster "Classic Vibe" that I am crazy about!!! Just great guitars and basses period!!!😎👍🎸❤️
Nyatoh wood in Indonesia called Pohon Nagasari, good to know that squier now using the same wood that many of Indonesian's guitar builder have used many years ago
Awesome video guys! That outro jam really hit something in me. Everytime I hear Pete play the tele, I want to buy that second hand classic vibe tele I have been eying for a while now. I have never played anything in my life, I am 40 years old - but everytime I watch one of your videos I come a little bit closer to just jumping at it.
I didn’t start playing bass until I was almost 40. Pluck away at it,it’s basically putting in the time to get good. Next thing I know I got 20 years under my belt.
Absolutely, if you go back when Chapman & the Captn were doing these & it was Rob wankin all over everything (gain set to stun!) & Lee doin a bit of rythym, Now you hear the guitars clean & with a bit of dirt, Pete will run a few bars off & then Lee gets to let rip too...his playings come along brilliantly.
just picked up a used basically brand new squier 40th anniversary telecaster and Its turned into my fav. guitar I own even though its the farthest from the most expensive I own. Its just perfect for taking anywhere not really worrying too much about it because its cheap enough to replace, yet it sounds fantastic. only complaint is probably the knobs have a huge deadzone where it doesnt really do anything then suddenly the last like 3/4 rotation are drastic differences. Probably can just get new knobs for that but still.
Funny fact, Ron Thorn (the top Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilder) says that his favorite Strat in his collection is '85 Japanese Squier. All you need to know about Squier of those days. Cool vintage Squiers, sounds extremely good for the buck, especially the Strat! And Cap has improved so much in his chops! Great jamming!
Squier is great. I love them. But it is really hard for me to get behind $600 USD for a Squier since I have bought Numerous used MIM Strats for $350. And I can still get them for around $400-450.
I got rid of my mim Tele for a squier CV Tele custom and it was a huge step up imo I did a good amount of playing and recording on both. The squier won hands down.
I just picked up the same, but with the Sea Foam Green. I love the feel of the neck and also the Jazzmaster pick ups. I'm mostly an acoustic player, but I saw that guitar and had a sudden urge to go "Surfing"! Lol
I saw the Squire tele at Guitar Center nyc. It was definitely new, hadn’t been there all year. I remember thinking WOW a squire/tele with a glossed neck. This is worth way more than 4-500
When I started guitar, Squier was some kind of avoidable brand, but now it's amazing, I really love my 70's Classic Vibe Strat and my HH Telecaster ! If I would keep just one guitar it would be one of 'em , or my upgraded Epiphone SG 🤣🤣 Very good video ! I just notice the Klon Centaur giveaway in the back for the 1 million suscribers, is it a joke ? 😃
Jack Pearson, one of the best players on the planet (and one time member of the Allman Brothers Band) plays a Squier. I have one of the Surf Green Bullet Teles, and it's amazing for the price.
Im absolutely loving those basses... the colours theyve chosen are right up my street. Has the classic sound, thats all you need. BTW.. I think the Stereophonics / Tom Jones duet was "Mama told me not to come"
Francis Dunnery (It Bites) was a Squire Strat player and really paved the way for Squire to be taken seriously on the Channel 4 Equinox documentary in the mid 80s
They look really cool although in Australia they're $1,100, pre-order. Not sure if id go the squier over mim fender for the price point. The pickups are Fender® Designed, as opposed to not designed, but fender made for the mim. Maybe it's just me, but also seems a premium for looks while sacrificing tone wood (Alder to Nyatoh)? To be fair i haven't held or played it, but they're just my initial thoughts.
Sqiuer is maturing as a brand and is setting a new standard for what affordable entry and mid tier guitars should be.
EART Guitars is even better.

This Vintage Series is possibly my favorite line up of Squier since their Vista series. Very nice stuff.
Man, Squier just keeps knocking it out of the park!
they were just a young 18 years when I came along, they have just always existed to me and probably many others watching, crazy to imagine a world where your first guitar wasn't one.

MIJ Squiers and Fender models are Great guitars. I have an 85 Dean, imported, and made by ESP Japan neck through body. Awesome quality guitars.

RIP Jeff Healey....Great reference, what a legend.
Gonna treat myself to the desert sand Jazzmaster, since J Mascis is my favourite guitarist and i missed out on his signature.
I just picked up the same, but with the Sea Foam Green. I love the feel of the neck and also the Jazzmaster pick ups.
I'm mostly an acoustic player, but I saw that guitar and had a sudden urge to go "Surfing"! Lol
I saw the Squire tele at Guitar Center nyc. It was definitely new, hadn’t been there all year. I remember thinking WOW a squire/tele with a glossed neck. This is worth way more than 4-500
21:18 I knew y'all were into British Driver's. Andertons is the Goodwood of Guitars with Sir Captain Lee and Mr. Pete. 🎸❤️🙌
When I started guitar, Squier was some kind of avoidable brand, but now it's amazing, I really love my 70's Classic Vibe Strat and my HH Telecaster ! If I would keep just one guitar it would be one of 'em , or my upgraded Epiphone SG 🤣🤣
Very good video !
I just notice the Klon Centaur giveaway in the back for the 1 million suscribers, is it a joke ? 😃
Forget about the price they sound great and look fabulous and real woods to .great for customising
Squire was my first guitar an hss strat that I played the hell out of for years. I have an eye on this pink hh jazzmaster. I love those fender necks
Thanks for the brief history education on Squier.
Man…… I mean…..WOW this are some really really cool guitars
Jack Pearson, one of the best players on the planet (and one time member of the Allman Brothers Band) plays a Squier. I have one of the Surf Green Bullet Teles, and it's amazing for the price.
19:43 Lenny perhaps? That's one of my favorite SRV songs :)
Im absolutely loving those basses... the colours theyve chosen are right up my street. Has the classic sound, thats all you need. BTW.. I think the Stereophonics / Tom Jones duet was "Mama told me not to come"
Francis Dunnery (It Bites) was a Squire Strat player and really paved the way for Squire to be taken seriously on the Channel 4 Equinox documentary in the mid 80s
They look really cool although in Australia they're $1,100, pre-order. Not sure if id go the squier over mim fender for the price point. The pickups are Fender® Designed, as opposed to not designed, but fender made for the mim. Maybe it's just me, but also seems a premium for looks while sacrificing tone wood (Alder to Nyatoh)? To be fair i haven't held or played it, but they're just my initial thoughts.
there's no tonewood mate leo fender used what he had & stuck with it
@@liamjenkins244 have your heard a guitar with maple vs rosewood? Come on, the difference is at least 0.01%!! How dare you.
