    Off topic, Dave; this year I was diagnosed with being on the spectrum for autism at 53 years old. All my life, I felt like I was a mistake, weird, too picky, too scatterbrained, too sensitive, too anxious and too depressed as others told me. Following you over the last few years has really helped heal the perception of myself. You help me realize that I'm not some weirdo who just can't fit into this world. Between my being on the spectrum, some intense childhood abuse and my own struggle with addiction and alcoholism, I'm grateful to understand today that I'm not a mistake. Thanks for helping me through that.
    And of course, beautiful music as always. Your first jam has some serious Pink Floyd Meddle vibes.

    It seems like there's never been a better time for entry-level guitar buyers in terms of value for money. Andertons have just done a presentation of Soloking guitars, which they raved about. There's East Coast which both Andertons and Dave have presented as instruments offering enormous value for money. Then, a little higher in price, you can buy a Chapman with alder body, ash veneer, ebony neck with rolled edges. You get all that for £369! It's incredible.

Not just for the money either, I went shopping for a tele and tried many, including American performer and mexican player, even a sire, but the classic vibe just ticks all the boxes at half the price so I got myself a blues junior to go with it haha had a 1k budget for a tele and walked out with an amp that is now my number one rig. Love Squier and epiphone guitars they offer great value and are great guitars cork sniffers beware I'm coming with my squires and epiphones. Also Yamaha is a very underrated brand aswell they make amazing acoustic and electric guitars.

TUSQ nut and added a 4 way switch that is just incredibly flexible tonally! My Squier Strat SE has only had a setup and a TUSQ nut, along with a full size Wilkinson trem and, wow, just wow! 40 quid well spent on the guitar! A little bit more on the mods but it has sent my "Custom" MIM Fender into storage its that good! NOw I just wish I could play them as well as you! 🙂

I love it. My lead guitarist at the time had a Clapton USA strat and he always wanted to play my Squier ....when I worked for a guitar export company that handled Squier and other brands over seas you'd find out of a dozen, at least 2 were gems...I got a gem. I think now 30 years later they've probably gotten more consistent than they used to be.

I am very Interested in The Squier Sonic Series Esquire in "Pete Honore Purple" but I am a little put off due to it having a Single Humbucker instead of Single Coil pickup as normal 'Esquires'. On sale here for $339- Australian but normal Sonic Tele or Strats are only $329-, but sale ends tomorrow, Therefore Decision time. All the best. Cheers

As far as the new Sonic it seems like an Affinity except for the new 42mm nut, mine is 40.5mm, the Narrow/Tall frets, mine are medium- jumbo. It has the same tuners as well. The new Affinity has different tuners and 42mm nut and Narrow/Tall frets. A bit of an upgrade from my 2020 Affinity. Keep playing. Cheers.

    @damianhannon1581 10 месяцев назад

    I was really unlucky with my sonic mustang - I got the 2nd wave after they sold out and restocked, so I think it was a little bit of a rush job on that batch, and a few duds leaked through - nothing horrific if you know what to do, but for a beginner, it would have been sheer unplayable (1st fret was the highest fret I've ever seen, felt like something more than just being a regular high fret was going on). The neck was really rough. I did take the chance to refin the neck in oil, and it was absolutely gorgeous after that - I really struggled to get the frets/neck playing as well as I liked. Like I say, I was unlucky, I really should have just returned it and got a different one, but I did fancy trying to fix it a bit.
    The electronics for me were killer - I really liked the pickups, they stack up really well against my paranormal cyclone and fender duo sonic - different, but using them in a "mix" with them, they dont sound like budget pickups at all - they were so punchy and full.
    I think these are really a brilliant guitar to add in - I didnt keep mine as really I didnt need the guitar - but I am going to get the sonic bronco bass from this range.
