Great video, even though I know that the biggest problem with cheap guitars is playability, tuning etc etc. not the sound that much. Even though I have realized that when it comes to high gain, cheap single coils have a unique sound that you can immediately tell its a single coil strat.
Nice video Mikko! Dude, I bought a Squier HH Squier Affinitty Strat (new models) in order to replace almost everything. Then I record some takes (all distoted - no clean) wih ML Roots, Oracle, Neural Nolly ... and it sounded great and better than some of my Fenders Hss!! Really good pick ups!
Awesome comparison. I made plenty mistakes. I learned this the hard way, thinking that the expensive guitars will make me play better. I play Harley Benton 200€ guitar now :))
That Squire sounds awesome. It certainly sounds different to the others but I'd struggle to objectively say one was "better" than the other. Goes to show your production knowledge (and your awesome plugin) are the most valuable assets in this experiment.
A really expensive guitar is like buying an expensive after market steering wheel for your Lambo, while its nice and it feels good, it isn't necessary to get the job done if you know how to "drive"
Squiers are at a point where if you change the electronics on them, they're kick ass guitars. Maybe the flagship products have better feeling frets etc but the Squiers that I have are all amazing guitars.
Not surprised.
It's a Pink Squier mini, it is better. Swap pick ups and throw on an evertune bridge and you're in business hahaha. Fun video Mikko!
Such valid methodolgy. Drive them into flat top distortion and try to tell the difference.

And now PRS are changing their tuners for better “tone transfer” 🙃

Man I'm a Les Paul guy, but the pink guitar actually sounds very cool!!!
Well, damn. That is one kickass pink mini-strat. I think your daughter wins this round.
Another interesting concept would be to add prs pups to that squier and compare 😉
So did your daughter say "I told you so"...😂
What drum plugin did you use for this? Sounds sick man!
Yeah, I was going to ask which needed to be tuned more often: the Squier or the Gibson. 😄
Haha!! Awesome!
Nice! So play what feels good and inspires your :)
Your daughter is right, her squier has a rounder sound, the pink prs had a pinging sound which doesn't sit well in my ear. 😅
