I’ve seen a lot of guitar solos on RUclips, but I have never EVER seen anyone put that much feel into each and every one of their guitar solos, Dave you’re probably one of the most talented guitarists on RUclips I wish more people knew about this channel
I absolutely loved your playing! You put the Telecaster through it's paces! So many reviewers just talk and skip in depth playing. Loved it! I bought a Classic Vibe Telecaster thinline 60's model a couple of weeks ago and I love it.
Squiers are so so so good these days. Perfect for playing completely stock or using the money you would have spent on a Fender/American-made to experiment with different pickups or amps.
I have the exact same guitar . Mine is from 2009 . It’s AWESOME in every way without mod . It looks stunning, it’s a joy to play and it sounds fantastic .
I recently picked up a Classic Vibe Mustang, it's one of the new 2019 models with a bone nut and narrow tall frets. It is by far the best guitar I have ever played and that includes PRS SE models. The quality of the finish and the sound are out of this world.
I bought one of these in 2010 I think. It's been one of my main players ever since, no mods needed. Came ready to play right out of the box and has been rock solid ever since. Total workhorse guitar.
Hey Mr Simpson, i have listen to a lot of music in my Long life, but this music you perform on that Telecaster is simpley a master piece, i dont know what that number do to me, but i have to come back and listen to it again and again, i cant get it out of my brain, maybe you can do a number similar to this then you have the time. Thank you for make this planet a better Places to live, sorry for my poor english, Hope you understand the mening, god bless and stay safe.🇩🇰
I'd be kinda hoping my friend didn't like it! Even though I try not to, I've found myself a victim of being a "Brand Snob"! I've owned a couple of Squier strats & teles that are by far better than a MIM of anything else of that price range! Not to mention if you get something like an 80s MIJ or MIK Squier, you'd know exactly what i talking about! Of course I sold them & replaced for Fenders that weren't half as good!😢 In short, the best instrument isn't always the most expensive! Great demo, be safe & keep rocking Dave!🎸😷
Gary Graves I’ve got a eighties MIJ Squier Strat, SQ series, had it since it was new. I have BEAT THE HELL out of that instrument over the decades, and, yeah, I know what you’re talking about. She probably has the best neck I’ve ever played.
I had a 89 MIK Squier 2, got rid of the plywood body kept the neck & bought a fender body for It, absolutely beautiful! The best necks I've ever played on!
What a joy to listen to your soleful vibe of that jam. The classic vibe guitars are absolutely amazing sounding guitars and of course you make them sing
That was freaking awesome.... Just bought one of those a few days ago.... Amazing to see what it can do in the hands of a real player.... I'm a long term acoustic guy and at 70 this is my first tele..... Certainly got some transition challenges ahead....
I got one last November, couldn’t agree with you more, stunning guitars, I ended up discovering the neck pickup is pre-routed for a humbucker so put a paf-style in, absolutely unreal sound, blows guitars 2-3 times the price well out of the water
I have that guitar and love it. Changed the knobs, pots, switch and to brass compensated saddles but kept the pickups. I'd bought a set of Baja pickups off ebay when I ordered the guitar but never got around to putting them in because I like the ones that came with it. I put it an Stew Mac 5-way Super Switch and it plays and sounds amazing. People that don't know about guitars think it's my poshest Sunday Driver guitar, which is funny. Warning to anyone looking for one. Mine has an ugly twist in the grain on the neck. I bought it online and figured they didn't put really nice wood on the Squiers so I lived with it. Don't assume you'll get one as pretty as Dave's. The neck FEELS amazing though. The fretboard on mine was listed as laurel wood. The original knobs were chrome looking plastic. The truss rod nut is very soft so use the right size allen wrench to adjust and be gentle.
I just got one as well. Its been a long time since I have picked up a Fender product with this finish quality and sound since the 60's and 70's. This feels like an old original 60's neck.
Dave plays right from the soul like there is nothing getting in the way. Absolutely incredible. My wife and I are listening I make isolation pasta sauce; this is going to taste even better now.
I purchased a Monoprice t-style in the same colour scheme(no binding tho) and it plays amazing for a $100 canadian guitar,,it is the guitar I play the most now
Man classic vibes are so much guitar for the money, and I especially dig this model. As well as the 70’s tele deluxe. You absolutely made that custom sing! I think someone is going to be very happy with that guitar. That’s one incredible gift.
Wow man, great playing. I had the same blues progression come to me today, I could hear BB singin " I still love ya" in a loop while playing. The vibe I got while playing was, being separated from loved ones and trying to let them know what they mean to me.
I own this same model plus the 50s version in butterscotch blonde. I was going to a jam with people that I replied to in an advert for a band seeking a guitarist and I brought along the squire tele. When I got there they refused to jam because they wanted someone with American made fenders and other higher quality guitars. They never gave me a chance because they were brand snobs. Those classic vibe guitars are really awesome and could easily be compared to some real fenders. Too bad they didn't give me a chance because the guitar sounds great!!
@@twangbarfly your right. The only thing that I did to the CV Tele was put fender custom shop 51 nocaster pickups in it and now it's sounds even better.
I have a Butterscotch 50's classic vibe. Plays great and the workmanship is great. Awesome Guitar! I got rid of the low E, tuned it to open G. Instant keef Richards
Best demo of this guitar on RUclips! Other players say it's a bright guitar, but you've reined it in, , Dave. Tone is primarily in the fingers, and in various settings. I look forward to getting one of these beauties.
Dave, you are too humble! I mean that in a good way. One of the very best around. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us. Cheers 🙏🏼 @davesimpson
About the pickups. Technically they are not Tonerider, but they are rumoured to be pickups made in the same factory as Toneriders. Whichever way it is, the CV pickups sound great, and so do Toneriders.
I remember looking at those original Customs in Old Hat, one was a 8/10 condition 1962 which was very light with brown/maroon edges, the other a re-finned 1960, i fell for the 62, it was so resonant it sounded like a thinline acoustically. Got some pictures of them. I then went straight down to Boston Roadhouse music and bought a Squier Classic vibe custom and the feel was very similar.
I've been looking/pricing those the past couple of months to buy, they look really nice...plus you can play any type of music with them, VERY versatile!!
Hi Dave, just got my new Squier C.V 60`s Tele, couldn`t agree more, its just gorgeous, and the p/u`s are wicked, that`s a great bit of playing your doing there. 😎🎸
I've got the exact same squire classic custom and it's better than the fenders at the store ! Glad you like it as much as I do! I put a Seymour Duncan "vintage tele" bridge pickup because the stock one crapped out ! It's freaking great, yves best tele I've ever played !
Im a huge fan of the CV teles, i love mine.... A great mod/ upgrade you can make to it is to wipe the back of the neck with green scotchbrite or 000 steel wool. The neck gets less glossy/ sticky and it makes the guitar double the amazing... I did mine with steel wool and i love it ( remember to tape de pups if you do it)
Gorgeous guitar indeed, Dave. You’re not wrong about Toneriders. I’ve got a set of City Limits and they just sound amazing. They have the “I can’t stop playing” Strat sound. Just perfect.
Sold. I was umming and areing about which custom squier to get, I loved that binding anyway, a pal has a custom double bound japanese tele that is to die for, after hearing yourself, I'm in. That is one hell of a guitar for the price. Really sweet playing dude. Peace.
There is a guy selling Squier VM Telecaster HS for only 200 dollars, and I want to buy it. Bought my Bullet Strat because of you, Dave, maybe its time to get a Telecaster
I bought my Squier Tele because a mate was selling it cheap and I didn´t own one, mainly because had never really done much for me. Has become a go to guitar :-)
Pro tip] if it's made in India squier it's better than the USA fenders and made out of Spanish cedar with real Brazilian rose wood! If none of these apply to the guitar your looking at its still a great guitar and will surely do the job !
I had a Classic Vibe 50s Sunburst Strat and a Classic Vibe 50s Butterscotch Tele. They were two of the nicest guitars I've had. They were every bit as good as the MIM Fenders I've had and played. Amazing value for anyone bright enough to look past a logo. Nice video, Dave. Stay well.
Dude.... Lol I saw the comments and had to hear this for myself... Man nice Jam 😎😎 you rock🤘🏽 man.. I was quickly mouth shut and listen up lol your skills are awesome..
I got the squier body about 10 years ago....do what I want with. 7.25 neck, vintage spec pickups etc. Im just lazy. but those Customs really do something for me lookwise.yep stunning.
It's a 62 Custom Telecaster. A Telecaster Custom has the two volume and two tone knobs, different shape pick guard and bridge PU. Yeap, can be very confusing and we have not even mentioned Custom Shop yet lol. Funny. I just purchased a Fender Japan Reissue 62 Custom Telecaster last week as a Birthday present for myself (I was born in 62). I have been after one of these bad boys for well over a year now and finally found one at a good price. On Ebay they tend to be about £750 to £1100. I prefer the MIJ to MIA. Every single MIJ guitar I have ever had has been amazing. Just as good, if not better than American built guitars.
I got one but I flogged the skinny neck off and put a fat Allpatrs telecaster neck on it. Couldnt stop there as its routed for humbucker. And well I had one doing nothing, so in it went ! Gonna now put a Tonerider hot classic in the bridge to compete with the humbucker. The original pickups are going on another telecaster as they sound so bloody good !!
I have the same model but it's a 2020 model and it's the best Tele I have ever played. Can't beat the price and quality. The only upgrades I made to the guitar was I put a Wilkinson bridge on it and put fender pure vintage 64 telecaster pickups in it. Amazing!.
@@jimijames756 yeah they sound amazing. There a little hot but the sound is clear. When playing without crunch you definitely get that early to mid 60s blues sound. If you want an example check out Mike Bloomfield on Bob Dylan's Highway 61 revisited album. It got that kinda vibe.
@@ryanday633 thanks for the info, I wil listen to that song. And you say you changed the bridge did that help the sound? I only replaced the saddles for compensated brass saddles.
@@jimijames756 I only changed the saddles for tuning reasons. The stock saddles looked cheap. They do help quite a bit for tuning stability but sound wise I didn't hear a difference.
Why do all RUclips reviewers play everything either distorted or with shit loads of overdrive. The only way to judge the tone is clean, guitar straight into amp and everything set flat and no reverb.
Hi Dave, this is the first time I stumbled upon you video, probably because I also own a classic vibe custom and searched for it some time ago on RUclips. I really like you style of playing especially the soft gentle parts,it sounds beautiful. I subscribed, and keep up the good work!
Squiers are great guitars. I'm glad you're not like the other youtubers who talk down on this guitar for being referred to as a "beginner guitar". It is only referred to that due to it's price point. People starting out usually never learn to play guitar and the guitar ends up in their closet collecting dust. So its better to have wasted $120 as opposed to more. Great playing
This is going to be my 3rd guitar purchase. Got a fender player strat a few weeks ago. Now I want a tele. This one caught my eye! The finish and double binding is gorgeous. And you make it sing Dave. I'm so glad I found this video. Out of everyone I woulda wanted to sell it to me. Its be you hahaha. Your a great salesman Dave! And you dont even have to talk. Just play! 🤣
I think it would great and most informative if you were to list all the pedals and gadgets in your signal chain before hitting the Amp and use if send / return configurations. Awesome as always - thanks ever do much for making time for us less than worthy not yet masters of the sonic axe. 🙃😲🙂🎸
I had that exact guitar. Can’t keep em all but it was fabulous. I did a electro socket mod and changed the bridge plate to a USA reissue. Nothing else needed. Electronics, tuners, saddles all top Nick! You just doubled the price on these LOL. Cheers
That is absolutely amazing, Dave put that on a record and blow the doors off the music industry, you need to be in a jam band mid song you just go off it’s amazing my friend 👍👍👍👍👍👍
That's so strange, I picked up one of these just last month.. I was hoping to upgrade it to CTS pots and maybe some fender pickups but I just love the sound of it so much as it is!
I upgraded my classic vibe custom with the Seymour vintage tele bridge pickup and it's better and a bit more powerful but the stock pickups are still great!
Check your pawn shops and used sites, I got mine (classic vibes custom) just like the one Dave's playing, same year and everything for $180 out the door at a pawn shop here in the states so look around ! Also these are kinda hard to find used here as they are great guitars and people usually don't want to sell their classic vibe as the price isn't usually worth selling at the priced .
I’ve seen a lot of guitar solos on RUclips, but I have never EVER seen anyone put that much feel into each and every one of their guitar solos, Dave you’re probably one of the most talented guitarists on RUclips I wish more people knew about this channel
outside of youtube he is awful....its amazing!!
Yes I think one of the best guitarist even on the planet really!
Seconded. And additional points for being a Bottom fan. RIP Rik
Dave, that jam was beautiful, one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard
I absolutely loved your playing! You put the Telecaster through it's paces! So many reviewers just talk and skip in depth playing. Loved it! I bought a Classic Vibe Telecaster thinline 60's model a couple of weeks ago and I love it.

have a 2010 model. like it a lot! but the neck and headstock is not so flamy like daves tele and the fretboard radius is relatively flat.
Hey Mr Simpson, i have listen to a lot of music in my Long life, but this music you perform on that Telecaster is simpley a master piece, i dont know what that number do to me, but i have to come back and listen to it again and again, i cant get it out of my brain, maybe you can do a number similar to this then you have the time.

By far the best Guitar channel in youtube and trust me I´ve seen waaaaaaaay too much guitar channels.
You´re awesome Dave, keep yourself safe :).
Bloody hell Dave, that's some quality riffage. My speakers melted! 🔥🎸
I had seen a 50s squier Tele classic vibe, man they're gorgeous. I absolutely love teles
Dave, Wtf????? That was probably one of best jams I’ve ever heard. Insane bro. Wherever that is coming from, keep it coming. Squier CV CANNOT BE BEAT.
That was freaking awesome.... Just bought one of those a few days ago.... Amazing to see what it can do in the hands of a real player.... I'm a long term acoustic guy and at 70 this is my first tele..... Certainly got some transition challenges ahead....
You took me somewhere I won’t be coming back from for a while

Best guitar player out there in RUclips land, hand's down , thank you Dave for that mind blowing jam
Man I love your playin.
I call your style "gentle rage".
If you like it write a song named that way😉
I had one of these from around the same era. Amazing guitars and well worth their money.
Amazing sound, Amazing music !!! 🤩 This squier in your hands is so fantastic. Thanks🙏

Absolutely loved to hear you playing man! So much soul in your work.
Listening to your guitar always brings a smile to my face 🎸👆Thank you
My ears want a cigarette.
Wow that was amazing.
Absolutely amazing so much feeling in your playing Dave keep walin 👍👍👍👍👍👉✌️
I just bought a 2004 fender made in japan reissue version of this guitar and its just awesome, sounds unreal

i feel like you reached into my soul in the solo and told me to relax.
Dave,you are the man.So emotional It made me cry.Well done.
I need one of those pickguards with the classic fender "F". They are so cool!
Any idea where to get one?
Wow! In this jam you and that guitar were truely fused as one. That's pure emotion, pure music, pure magic.
I own this same model plus the 50s version in butterscotch blonde. I was going to a jam with people that I replied to in an advert for a band seeking a guitarist and I brought along the squire tele.

You're better off without fellow "musicians" like that - obviously

I also had this guitar. It was my first guitar that I bought second hand, it was great and the neck feels good. Great jams!
That was a powerful peace of music Dave!
I listen to it all the time, love it!
Dude, you make every guitar you demo sound fantastic.
I have classic vibe tele love ♥️ it I lightly sanded the neck and that’s the icing on cake. The stock pickups are awesome 😎
Wow! Some awesome playing, blown away!!
The guitar is nice too...

Got some pictures of them. I then went straight down to Boston Roadhouse music and bought a Squier Classic vibe custom and the feel was very similar.
My Tele is slowly but surely becoming my favourite guitar. The bridge pickup is the most gnarly sound on Earth, I love it
I've been looking/pricing those the past couple of months to buy, they look really nice...plus you can play any type of music with them, VERY versatile!!
Hi Dave, just got my new Squier C.V 60`s Tele, couldn`t agree more, its just gorgeous, and the p/u`s are wicked, that`s a great bit of playing your doing there. 😎🎸

Damn. That is some sweet guitar playing. Thanks Dave for being as real as you are. Stay well. All the best from Canada.
Im a huge fan of the CV teles, i love mine.... A great mod/ upgrade you can make to it is to wipe the back of the neck with green scotchbrite or 000 steel wool. The neck gets less glossy/ sticky and it makes the guitar double the amazing... I did mine with steel wool and i love it ( remember to tape de pups if you do it)
Iñaki Font ooops yep 👍 I did that too!
I did the same back of the neck sanding to mine too, way better feel to the neck now in my oponion.
Crikey! Absolutely awesome jam man - I'm blown away.
I am glad one of my favourite guitarists has reviewed this, thanks for helping me decide my 2nd guitar Dave :)
Gorgeous guitar indeed, Dave. You’re not wrong about Toneriders. I’ve got a set of City Limits and they just sound amazing. They have the “I can’t stop playing” Strat sound. Just perfect.
Just acquired one today _ absolutely love it
Sold. I was umming and areing about which custom squier to get, I loved that binding anyway, a pal has a custom double bound japanese tele that is to die for, after hearing yourself, I'm in. That is one hell of a guitar for the price. Really sweet playing dude. Peace.
Beautiful solo great telecaster amazing player tone tone tone
Absolutely brilliant guitar playing. I’ve just bought one of these. 🎸
There is a guy selling Squier VM Telecaster HS for only 200 dollars, and I want to buy it. Bought my Bullet Strat because of you, Dave, maybe its time to get a Telecaster
vm guitars are very good !
I bought my Squier Tele because a mate was selling it cheap and I didn´t own one, mainly because had never really done much for me. Has become a go to guitar :-)
you won't regret it..everyone should have at least one telecaster or t-style
Pro tip] if it's made in India squier it's better than the USA fenders and made out of Spanish cedar with real Brazilian rose wood! If none of these apply to the guitar your looking at its still a great guitar and will surely do the job !
Bäääääm ... Unbelievable! You are a true inspiration to me. Thank you. 😊
I had a Classic Vibe 50s Sunburst Strat and a Classic Vibe 50s Butterscotch Tele. They were two of the nicest guitars I've had. They were every bit as good as the MIM Fenders I've had and played. Amazing value for anyone bright enough to look past a logo.

Wow!! That was really beautiful man, amazing solo
all these tik tok guitarists need to hear this, its about feeling not speed ,heart not head, many blessings sir you are amazing
Dude.... Lol I saw the comments and had to hear this for myself... Man nice Jam 😎😎 you rock🤘🏽 man.. I was quickly mouth shut and listen up lol your skills are awesome..
What a great looking Tele Dave!! I love Tonerider pickups. Great outro’s and You played until your fingers bled Brian Adams would be proud 😀👍❤️
congratulations for 57k subs dave!
Thank you very much. :)
Dave Simpson i felt intense......You are beyond.
I got the squier body about 10 years ago....do what I want with. 7.25 neck, vintage spec pickups etc. Im just lazy.
but those Customs really do something for me lookwise.yep stunning.
The squier telecaster sounds realy great and the intro jam was freaky awsome thanks Dave💯🎸✌🏽
Grazie per queste grandi emozioni!
14:44 crazy how I imagined the exact same melody you played 5 seconds later, music is something sooo crazy
It's a 62 Custom Telecaster. A Telecaster Custom has the two volume and two tone knobs, different shape pick guard and bridge PU. Yeap, can be very confusing and we have not even mentioned Custom Shop yet lol.
Funny. I just purchased a Fender Japan Reissue 62 Custom Telecaster last week as a Birthday present for myself (I was born in 62). I have been after one of these bad boys for well over a year now and finally found one at a good price.
On Ebay they tend to be about £750 to £1100. I prefer the MIJ to MIA. Every single MIJ guitar I have ever had has been amazing. Just as good, if not better than American built guitars.

Amazing dude. Thankyou. 😎✌🎸🎼🎶🎸🎧👌
that tone man, unreal. im looking into getting a brand new one of these. also i love the sports almanac on your wall
this video made me want to buy a squier tele now, awesome video dave!
Hi Dave, this is the first time I stumbled upon you video, probably because I also own a classic vibe custom and searched for it some time ago on RUclips.
I really like you style of playing especially the soft gentle parts,it sounds beautiful.
I subscribed, and keep up the good work!
Squiers are great guitars. I'm glad you're not like the other youtubers who talk down on this guitar for being referred to as a "beginner guitar". It is only referred to that due to it's price point.

I Dave, i'm trying to get the same guitar tone of John on Subway to Venus but it's so hard for me. Can you help me please ?
Thank you for all you do
Absolutely brilliant demo, Dave. I just picked up one myself based on your review. Awesome guitar for the money
Squiers are no joke man, I’d never have bought my affinity strat if not for your videos and I absolutely love it
Same here, I have an Affinity Tele and it's absolutely amazing
This is going to be my 3rd guitar purchase. Got a fender player strat a few weeks ago. Now I want a tele. This one caught my eye! The finish and double binding is gorgeous. And you make it sing Dave. I'm so glad I found this video. Out of everyone I woulda wanted to sell it to me. Its be you hahaha. Your a great salesman Dave! And you dont even have to talk. Just play! 🤣
I think it would great and most informative if you were to list all the pedals and gadgets in your signal chain before hitting the Amp and use if send / return configurations. Awesome as always - thanks ever do much for making time for us less than worthy not yet masters of the sonic axe. 🙃😲🙂🎸
that was the most amazing playing I've ever seen, holy potato
I had that exact guitar. Can’t keep em all but it was fabulous. I did a electro socket mod and changed the bridge plate to a USA reissue. Nothing else needed. Electronics, tuners, saddles all top Nick! You just doubled the price on these LOL. Cheers
I love the Tele, the most honest guitar of all.
Just WOUAAAAAHHH !!!!!! Beautiful !!!
That is absolutely amazing, Dave put that on a record and blow the doors off the music industry, you need to be in a jam band mid song you just go off it’s amazing my friend 👍👍👍👍👍👍
That's so strange, I picked up one of these just last month.. I was hoping to upgrade it to CTS pots and maybe some fender pickups but I just love the sound of it so much as it is!
mbplove I upgraded mine with cts pots and nocaster pickups all fender. I love it even more now. I play more than my gibson les paul.
I upgraded my classic vibe custom with the Seymour vintage tele bridge pickup and it's better and a bit more powerful but the stock pickups are still great!
One off the greatest pieces on a guitar I heard. The build up and afterwards the serenety. Liek story tellng. Just Superb. Thank you.
Been fighting off the urge to buy a tele this last few months, this really isn't helping :)
Check your pawn shops and used sites, I got mine (classic vibes custom) just like the one Dave's playing, same year and everything for $180 out the door at a pawn shop here in the states so look around !
Also these are kinda hard to find used here as they are great guitars and people usually don't want to sell their classic vibe as the price isn't usually worth selling at the priced .
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
In in the boat,trying to figure out which guitar to trade off for one of these
