Counterpoint: 22.5" scale ain't just for kids, and branding these as "mini" is a big missed opportunity to make a quality instrument for grown adults under 5'10" who would like more choice beyond 25.5" and 24". And as has been mentioned, 11s are the way to go here.
I 100% agree I've been playing for years but recently due to arthritis I havent been able to play my standard size guitars so I recently tried a Jackson minion and it was a revelation and I'm playing every day again.im looking forward to trying one of these minis and sticking some hot pickups in it for fun
I am 5ft3 girl😐, been playing for 17 years (started as a kid) got a 23in classical, and now I wonder why on Earth you cannot really get 23in scale electrics besides "entry level" ones 😐😲
@Kyle Smith you’ll struggle on a regular guitar cuz of your hands. Plus black logo squiers are absolute dogshit. I own one and never liked it ever. I’d recommend spending 3-400 if you’re actually passionate to learn guitar and 1-200 on an amp
@@0000song0000 Original full size Fender Mustangs cane with 22.5 in. scale, later models went to 24 in. An original will set you back a small fortune but both Fender and Squire make reissues with 24 ln scale as well as Duo-Sonics and Jaguars. As you are accustomed to a 23 ln. acoustic I don't think you'll have any problem with a 24 ln. electric. Hope you find one that takes you where you want to go. Cheers
YES YES !! and perhaps done over in a corpse-paint polyurethane, Kitty with one eye missing, hot bridge EMG pickup, locking trem, marketed as the "Hello Kitty Gorgoroth Goat Pervertor Signature Edition" but still knocked out on the Squire sub-budget guitar production line LOL hmmm, scratch the corpse paint job, leave it pink hehehe.
My son had the red one when he was 5 and he played it for 2 years. They are nice little guitars. Now he’s 13 and he has the Player Series and an Ibanez.
The guitar came in today. I tuned it, played it, and it did not go out of tune for me. No problems there (I wasn't being really hard on it). It was really easy to get around on the neck and was fun to play. Frets were smooth enough and action was good (low). It sounded great too. The back of the neck was a little rough, but I just put some lemon oil on it and it felt smoother. No reason not to get this guitar. It is great!
Yeah but its really no different than hearing a great song through a crappy stereo. You know the playing is good but you wish the equipment was better.
I bought the mini jazzmaster and liked it so much I bought the mini strat too. They are obviously aimed at kids, but having a guitar suited to higher tunings adds something for any guitarist, I have mine in G like a terz guitar., might tune the strat tenor style. Was fine out of the box, the only fault was the fret edges were pretty sharp, bought a fret levelling file and fixed it in seconds
If I was getting someone a short scale guitar and they wanted to play in standard tuning I would fit heavier strings to help with the tuning stability.
Comes with 009s and I wondered this too, but while cowboy chords might be no problem, would the heavier strings make it tougher for little fingers to bar and lead higher up the scale.
@@jimmyjames2022 Not really. The reason why heavy strings seem harder to bend is because they up the tension in comparison to thinner strings. As the tension is much lower due to the short scale length the two properties should even out to play similar to a standard sized guitar with 9's or 10's as long as you pick the right guage.
James Lewis - this. Swapped out the 9s for 11s on my sons Jackson Minion and not only is the tuning great, the bending and barre chords are fine because the strings are under less tension and it sounds immense... I prefer playing it to my full size guitar... May need to adjust the truss rod afterwards though to make sure the action is still nice and low...
I own 2 of the jazz master mini’s. One for my daughter and 1 for myself. They stay in tune well and the only thing I had to do was polish and dress the frets. They are great travel guitars too.
F yeah these are great ! I originally bought a mini strat as a couch guitar and it was worth every cent. You end up playing so much more even if it’s just 5-10 mins here or there. I ended up getting a second one for my office. Works well for anyone who is short on time for practice
I'm a full grown adult 6.3 I love the Jazzmaster Mini it's the perfect travel guitar or something you can throw in your car play it in the front seat it's a great mod platform you can change the pickups you can fix the neck Frets and make it play like a pro just put some heavier strings on it and it turns to E standard no problem
These might just fit a standard 25.5 inch neck as several of these mini guitars have been scaled the exact same as putting a capo on the second fret of a 25.5 inch scale -- so the bridge wouldn't necessarily need to move. As always, verify before getting one to experiment with.
0:02 sounds the same tension as John Lennon would have on his 20 inch scale 325capri... 😃 Sounds appropiate for early beatle style jamming😍 5:00 put thicker strings! 14:25 Thanks to Pete for showing this is made for jamming, no matter the size.
You can also throw thicker strings on the guitar and it helps with the tension. I have a neon pink Jackson minion (such a fun guitar) that I put a set of 10-46 on and it helped make it way more playable!
I almost never disagree with The Captain. But if a student tunes her (or his) guitar differently than the rest of us, it makes learning from videos and jamming with other people difficult.
@@Rawwr1fulI’ve been thinking this. We’re thinking of getting one for my daughter, but how can she learn with the group she’s in at school if her guitar is tuned to a different tuning?
I have a pink paisley blackstar fly 3. It's my 4 in the morning amp. When inspiration strikes and its too late to get loud the blackstar is great. I have a humbolt blues Jr and a pawn shop excelsior and the blackstar is a good little nugget of an amp. It gets a good tube-like crunch
One of the mini strats was my first guitar. It was black. I learned to play all the basic riffs on that. I’ve since moved on to super strats and les Paul’s but I’m thinking of getting myself a black strat again.
For the tuning stability issue, I recommend the Graph Tech Ratio Locking Tuners. You can easily pop those in and out of any guitar, thanks to the Invisio Match mounting plates. So you can put them on your full-sized guitar once you outgrow the mini one.
If you don't mind me asking, for a Mini Strat, would the Graph Locks have to be 6 or 3 in one? I own a Red Mini Strat (like the Captain) and I would love to change the tuners on mine.
For the tuning stability issue, you can always take a leaf out of Taylor's method for the GS Mini guitars - use heavier gauge strings like 12s or 13s. Main issue is that it won't be as easy to press chords, but the string tension would be a bit better and the child would also be more accustomed to "proper" string tension
Hell yeah I’m the coolest 8 year old at my school!! Sadly not partially because I am not 8. Just got mine in the mail yesterday and I am playing it right now
My son plays a Jackson minion - If you change the strings for 11s it sorts the problem completely. Because they are under less tension than on a standard guitar they bend fine and don’t hinder his playing. They sound great too... I love playing it!
Wish I would have started my nephews with these type! First thing is a tuner though! Shoot I wish I'd had one of these when I was starting. Been giving my nephews my guitars and equipment for years. Encouragement is everything!! Andertons Rock!!!
Dammit now I’m gonna buy the seafoam jazzmaster and put a set of chrome or gold emgs in it, along with locking tuners and a nicer bridge of matching color. It would be a beauty.
Poor Lee, no matter who he plays with they always play over his talking! This time I'm kinda glad it happened because he coaxed the Cap'n back into the groove and that outro jam was off the chain!!!♥️
I saw the mini Jazz recently on Fenders website and was thinking about getting my son one. Pretty cool for a kids scale guitar for the price. I also wanna low key hotrod it 😂😂😂 Over here in the US they're something like $140 or so which is a great deal imo for an offset decent 3/4 scale guitar. Thanks for the review guys!
my 10 year old tried holding a full size Fender Jag guitar and Fender Jazz bass and they were way too heavy for him. These minis are perfect. I imagine in a couple of years he'll be ready for full size.
I'm an over 6' tall adult and I ended up here looking at the videos of the Vox SDC-1 mini because 18.7' scale sounds like an absolute blast. Dear music retailers someone put one on sale so I can toss some money at one needlessly.
Really wish you guys stocked the Pignose 7-100, it might be the best mini amplifier I’ve ever used! It sounds amazing, and it only has one knob for volume, so it’s great for beginners!
I have a travel guitar with 20 scale length and 11 gauge strings keep it well in tune. I usually use 9s so they feel weird but the tension is comparable.
@@scaredycat8685 yeah it sound like a thick set, but i find that 14's takes the tension back to aproximately the same as 10's on a 24.74-25.5" scale length
@@everythinggamingnow it has nothing to do with the string size. It's the scale length being shorter. Those 10s play like they are 8s or less, plus it's got the cheapest hardware possible it.
Or you put .010 or .011 on it! I did that on my Squire Bullet that I used in a set 1996-1997 - hilarious to see a 23 year old with a small guitar. But that was the sound I needed :)
I am an adult with small hands, as far as the issues with staying in tune, would an upgrade help solve this, when standard tuning? The tuner's is what I mean
The cheaper the kit the more fun it seems they have. Suspect with modern manufacturing the quality is way better than pricier guitars from even a few years ago.
You had mentioned the Strats had been in production for a while but didn't mention that the output had been moved from the normal Strat position to the side
Also get her a slide and show her Joanna Conner videos. Slides can fix any guitar and I mean even one that's made from a broom handle and one guitar string.
So kind of a silly question... what's the difference between a short scale guitar and 3/4? Andertons says the 3/4 is a 22 inch neck and most squier short scales are 24... it looks like maybe some of it is the neck profile is also smaller?
I read somewhere that Hendrix liked to record with a Mustang. Now, given the size of his hands, a smaller scale instrument can't be that much of a handicap, and I suspect that some difficult Jazz chords might become more accessible. Consider the Byrdland-- 23 inch scale and the guitarists who favor that instrument are not beginners by any stretch of the imagination. These minis with 22.75 inch scales are close enough to a Byrdland. I only wish the necks were a bit wider. String spacing can be a problem, more so than the shorter scale.
Counterpoint: 22.5" scale ain't just for kids, and branding these as "mini" is a big missed opportunity to make a quality instrument for grown adults under 5'10" who would like more choice beyond 25.5" and 24". And as has been mentioned, 11s are the way to go here.
These go for around 180 Idk what kind of quality you're talking about, however the word mini shouldn't off put any adults

nephyril but if you’re a kid or parent with a limited budget, you can still give your kid good sounding gear without busting the bank
Every single coil guitar in my house sounds fantastic through that little black star fly. And the batteries last forever. Best mini amp I’ve ever had
If you heard Pete playing but couldn't see the guitar would you believe he was playing a mini. Probably not. Damn, those little things sound great

Slightly heavier gauge strings will add a little tension and stability

stick a set of 11’s on em
Add the Squier Mustang HH to this group as 'the bigger brother'. The size and weight is pretty close to these.

My son will be three soon and keeps asking to play my guitars, this might be the answer!
The last jam just made this an R rated video. Parental advisory!

They should put the strings through the guitar, like the tele

There's something with these new squiers. They sound great. What's the secret the old ones didn't have?
I read somewhere that Hendrix liked to record with a Mustang.
