Squiers are SOO underrated it's sickening. Fender is great for many reasons, but a well set up Squier can be had for far less coin. As you demonstrate in your playing, Squier guitars are capable of amazing performance.
Squier CV are only good. Affinity is dog scrap. Crap tuners, crap neck wood, crap pickups, trashy electronics.
@@shawnbenzeven the bullets are good enough. No idea what you're talking about.
Mike Rutherford was playing an Affinity during a recent tour. Squier is definitely producing some great entry-level guitars that are worthy of professional play.
I have a 2010 CV 50s MIC and a 2020 Bullet. Both are excellent and needed nothing but a slight action tune when I got them. The necks, fretwork, and overall quality of both is superb. Now, I got the bullet exclusively as a cheap platform for modding and it is now even better, subjective to my personal taste. Although now I have quite a bit more money into it.
@@JGAbstractbullet mustangs are superb instruments
My God, but this man can play!
The problem is Chris, that you’d make any piece of wood sound absolutely awesome! 😅
Only way for me to test this is by imaging it myself with my limited skills and see what happens!
Massively intrigued and thank as ever for such amazing videos solos and sounds
My Squire CV Jazzmaster became my main instrument about 2 hours after setting it up. Holy cow what a value.
Same here. It is the guitar that got me back into single coil pickups. After all the hype I heard about Mastery bridges I finally took the plunge and ordered one. They aren't necessary but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to put a Mastery bridge on every offset I own. Also, I swapped the pickups for some Croatian made brand called Q. I also swapped the tremolo with the AVRI. I recommend anyone wanting to dip their toes in the offset world to look into the Squier Classic Vibe series or the J Mascis model. You really can't go wrong - proper set up is required, but same could be said for a thousand dollar Fender these days.
Agreed… my Squier Duosonic, Cyclone, Jaguar, P Bass, Bass VI, and Tele… all make me say, “moo”… I have a MIM Fender Tele and MIJ Fender Strat… they are all excellent… I love the Squiers as much is the Fenders… And because they cost so much less, I was able purchase more, to have a bigger variety of fun Guitars, with different feels and tones
@StarchieSkizzyx nice collection! I also enjoy my Bass VI as well as my new Jazzmaster 12string!
@@BobPerrone I saw that jazz master 12 and I wanted it but it was kind of expensive… and I hate the hickey stuck headstock! I broke my budget on the Bass VI… paid extra to find a rare used Olympic white one. I bought a Harley Benton “Chickenbacker” 12 and it’s pretty cool … I love the body shape… but I’m sure it’s never as good as your Squier!
@StarchieSkizzyx I gave up on getting the white bass vi, that color is asking high prices. I have the sunburst. Both my 12 and 6 string jazzmasters in Olympic white, just they look great in that color. The 12 was 499, have they gone up price?
Always fantastic hearing you play, it’s great that you add your amazing solos in your videos 💙
Got mine about 10 years ago, put on locking tuners, a roller bridge, and AVR vibtrato (mostly for the lock button). It's fantastic, and even though it doesn’t get as much love as my other guitars, it amazes me everytime I pick it up. Simply a great instrument.
I've been enjoying this guitar since 2020. I've changed the pick-ups with Lambertones Ristrettos and the tremolo with an AVRI and now it's PERFECT! 😍 I still can't believe how well this guitar is made and how well it stays in tune.
I got my J Mascis Squire Jazzmaster a few years ago.5? It still blows my mind how great it is. One of the best guitars I have played in the past 50 years. I love it's tone more than my trusty 56 Esquire that I have had since 1971. Such a classic guitar. I also own a Squire Stratocaster that I bought in 1987. Still my favorite Strat.
nice looking and sounding guitar and Chris, you are an amazing melodic player.
We love our Squier JMascis Jazzmaster! Killer tone. Wonderful to play. Unbelievable value.
I’m sorry what is your first language? I’m genuinely curious, I see “we love our” written alot when it should be “I love my”
Unless you are talking about some very specific timeshare situation you have.
I got mine from 2017 used,killer sound.I sold my USA and Japan made ones.
I’ve said similar before but man your playing can’t be hyped up enough. You’ve really got your own sound, you can tell it’s you playing a mile off. Really tasteful man. Hoping to get to a Cardinal Black show this winter
I recently purchased a Squier 40th Anniversary Tele for a bargain deal on Amazon and I couldn’t believe how STUNNING and easy the play the guitar is!! The neck came with rolled fretboard edges, a satin finish on the neck and body, black binding around the contour of the body, anodized pickguard… simply stunning for a $300 purchase. Right now I’m searching for another 40th anniversary but this time I want a Strat. If you haven’t, please give them a try - you will be surprised by the quality.
Same expect I got the 40th anniversary jazzmaster, got it at a great price off someone basically brand new. He had it set up to his liking but I'd prefer heavier gauge strings and higher action to combat the fret buzz and twang from the lower gauge strings.
I got the 40th Anniversary Strat and it's become my go-to guitar. There's no way to improve the neck - shape, size, inlays, and fretwork are perfect and it's the most playable instrument I've ever tried.
I found the ruby red metallic gold start 40th near me its gorgeous. I don’t like strats tho so I wish it was the jazz bass of that volor
Squier has had my heart for a while now. Some of their runs have been absolute sleepers and true gems of the budget guitar world. Anything made from Japan, the Protone, the MIC classic vibe, the current 40th anniversary vintage editions, all going to be guitars people will love for years and years to come.
To add to this- the paranormal jazzcasters have better fretwork than some MIA fenders!
The pro-tone, have not thought of those in years. Best squier I've ever played. As good as the American standard if u have electronic upgrades.
I agree completely on the quality of the MIC CV. I have a 2010 LPB CV50 that is brilliant. @goth_ihop I have never laid eyes on a Paranormal in person but I just found a killer, fully figured Paranormal Strat neck on Reverb so I ordered it to swap onto my Bullet, a guitar I got exclusively for modding. I'm a sucker for a beautiful piece of well figured maple.
I bought an s9 1989 samick korean and it is an amazing guitar
I thought they were called offset telecasters, Ive really wanted one for a while but ive got
a MIJ tele and I dont think I need two teles, but i wish. @@goth_ihop
Can’t wait to see the one you’re building!
all squier jazzmasters are good through good amps that often cost a lot more than the guitar itself, so you'll have to make a choice whether that's where you want to go. In terms of build, it's absolutely amazing. it takes a couple of days to get used to the controls, but after that you can have to much fun. THe frets are very nice, an the single coils are nice a brad in range
You sound great on that guitar! Nice pickups. Thanks for this demo.
I have two Classic Vibes and they're awesome. They play great out of the box, don't need a ton of setup work, and are very upgradable if you want. They're just fine if you're not into upgrading too!
Chris, because of you I did buy a Squire Classic-Vibe Jazz Master and I must say I am so impressed with the quality of the guitar. I have American and Mexican Fenders in my arsenal, and I be honest the Squire arrived in the best shape out of all of them. Prefect fit and finish and almost set-up prefect. I just got a Tele Baritone Deluxe and again I was floored with the quality! I agree with you that a good guitar is a good guitar, and it doesn't really matter what name is on the headstock. I see a Chris Buck signature Squire in your future!
There's a Baritone Tele Deluxe 🤔....I better go check that out...
(I know there's a Cabronita and Custom)
Sorry, it's a Custom@@CrazyLazyDave
I don't know about the Squire, but Chris Buck, definitely a Future Classic.
He is a modern classic.
Quit suking him off
Who?
@@GG-jw8pt 😂
Love the thought ant time you put into this. the JMJM is absolutely a phenomenal instrument but as you say the 40th Anniversary (and its cousin the CV) absolutely hold their own. The way I think of it is that the J Mascis has some of the most popular mods that a certain type of player really looks for: satin neck (which the 40th also has), hotter pickups, and a more stable (though less Jazzmastery) trem. I think it comes down to what are you wanting out of your JM - Squier has 2 really excellent offerings the CV/40th for the more traditional and the JM for the more aggressive/modern take.
Last time I watched Chris’ videos I bought a Duosonic. Now it is time for a Jazzmaster. Thank you Mr Buck 😇
Luckily you didn’t see the video where he had a 59 Burst LP.
@@oldmanlearningguitar446salesman Chris Buck to the front counter please
@@oldmanlearningguitar446 Lucky me!
@@Domn879 I bought the exact same guitar. Great instrument. I have muitiple Teles, Strats, a ‘71 Mustang. But Duo has its own character.
Great video and a cool guitar. I like the look of the 40th anniversary more.
And your playing, as always, is breathtaking. You could make a coat hanger sound cosmic. A very gifted musician! Thank you.
I have a Squier Vintage Modified JM, the very first series of squier JM with the vintage bridge, I switched to a Staytrem and I changed the pickups with a uk Mojo pickup set, it sings beautifully, plays great, it's one of my favorite guitar
Really enjoying your channel Chris! I recently scored one of those 40th anniversary vintage JMs and am highly impressed with it so far. Check out the used prices on the 40th especially he desert sand color... it may also be a future classic! The mascis seems great i was just looking for more traditional.
I picked up mine new in about 2011 -- and my understanding for years has been that these do have P90 style pickups. I purchased it initially for touring but it instantly became my co-favorite guitar along with my 70's Tele partscaster. I love this instrument!
That was one of your very best intro jams.
This has been my favorite channel on YT.
I upgraded my CV Jazzmaster with Toltec vintage wound pickups. - phenomenal pickups. I changed the wiring and put a staytrem bridge and collet in there. This thing plays and sounds amazing!
I bought a squire strat in the early 90’s and love it.
Excellent video. Wonderful playing. I have vintage big name guitars but one of my favorite is my Squier Stratocaster 50s Classic vibe..I was surprised happily so
I start watching these video to learn something new then go away just completely in awe of the guitar playing. casually killing it with every vid
The only experience I have with a Squire is the one I just bought. A paranormal strat -o-sonic. I think it's great. Not your normal strat. Has a pair of P90s, and a neck scale like a Gibson. Plays great. Looks stunning!
I brought it, after upgrading the tuners and installing actual Jazzmaster pickups I loved it. The neck feels great.
Yes - they are that good. It's the neck. I've updated to the American tremolo and Staytrem bridge....as well as Duncan Antiquity 2 pickups for a more vintage sound.
It's definitely on my wishlist...
Squier is just amazing value for money, I'd say. Old Squiers are lovely, and the last few years they've released some ridiculously good instruments - I have a 70s style Jazzbass that's just incredible, and I've played a few CV Teles and Strats as well. Once they're set-up properly I'll pick these over any Fender.
Nice playing as always. Thanks
I've had one for a few years and I love it.
My goodness, your playing! Beautiful!
I have a 40th Anniversary Squier Strat and Jazzmaster and love them both. Great, great guitars, especially after some setup work.
A few years ago i decided i finally needed a decent Strat. I happened to order a Squier Protone and a Fender Am. Standard, both used, one a little more vintage than the other, off ebay just for the looks and intended to return the 2nd best sounding instrument. Since then i'm a proud owner of a Squier Protone and i love it!
that solo jam 10 mins wow! man that riff gotta take somewhere.... would love to see that with the band Chris
That Anderton's gig was how I found Cardinal Black. What a great band!
Hi Chris, even some of the most basic squires are sound and working horses "beasts" in the right hands. Now, regarding about the "right hands", watching that pedal show (Amazing Chord-Melody Guitar Playing & Tone With Tim Lerch), I wrote and understood this about your special and pleasant playing style: "For a younger approach, on the use of grace notes harmonizing, the chords un-fixed approach and arpeggios, as well as the tone in the right hand and even the guitar's neck and body various anchor points, force applied and wiggle, as part of the intentional sound outcome, Chris Buck, as my personal opinion, is the one applying it all, in an ubiquitous synergy, through his playing". Cheers.
Btw that trem issue might come from the bridge actually. Saddles can do that on the tunomatic bridge whe in use with vibrola or Bigsby. Maybe quick polish of the saddles would help a little. This bridge, those pickups and rosewood/Indian laurel do give unique characters to this guitar.
My 2015 J Mascis Jazzmaster has been my main (and sometimes only) guitar since I bought it new. I've played punk, ska, classic rock, and ambient soundscape styles on it and it never disappoints. It's probably the most comfortable and playable guitar I've ever owned.
Wow, YOU nailed terrific sound with this guitar .
That first jam so nice, I have to see it thrice!
Bought the wrong Squier. Mine doesn’t do that.
Made my day! Thank you
I bought a 2014 MIC CV for a wall hanger. It’s my go to guitar now. Squier makes great gear.
A really interesting video Chris . When you said “ guitar with someone’s name in it “ reminded me of a guitar I’d fancied but the cons outweighed the pros . A Fender Sergio Vallin had caught my eye as a hybrid Strat /Jazzmaster but the controls were even crazier than the Jazzmaster ones .What looks like a tone and volume control is yep a volume but the other one was a selecter switch which was clunky and defaualted to the bridge humbucker . It had a Jazzmaster style trem too which I’m not used too . Pickups great , coil tap
on the humbucker but the one I tried had really rough frets . To tie in with your video these now seem to fetch good money £500 on release but unlike other MIM guitars have boomed in price , probably due to rarity but for playability?? That said if one crossed my path ….
I have the anniversary one - beautiful guitar, swapped the pickups for some Fender Vintage`65 JM pickups and thats about it. Very well crafted and beautiful sounding; just a guitar i enjoy literally every time i pick it up.
As interesting videos of high end and vintage guitars are most viewers can relate more to discussions about 'budget' models. Yes, there are many reviews on youtube but these are usuelly by guitar outlets pushing their stock. ThanksChris.
The Squier Jazzmaster 40th anniversaries I've tried, were also top notch and sounded as good as they looked..
W0W! My J Mascis Squier Jazzmaster became my main Axe, shortly after watching this episode!! Course all Ii need to do now is buy one!? Ha! I must say the guitar sure sounds a bit different in Mr Bucks hands, then in Mr Mascis hands!
Chris, another great analysis of a guitar within the reach of almost everyone.
I needed to comment at 4th minute already 😊
That picture of the pickups is really interesting. Let me try to explain. Most single coil pickups in USA models, including Jazzmaster pickups, have alnico magnets as the pole peaces them self. This gives them their own character we all know and love. That means there are no screws as pole peaces. Now, there are also cheap ceramic pickups used by some Fenders and most cheap Squier guitars that have the ceramic bar under the coil, and pole peaces are steel slugs. This one sounds very different. Even some Japanese and Mexican Fenders use to have them. Those are somehow loved by people who play high gain with Fender guitars. For anything else, they are trash, in my opinion, that is.
Now, the difference between the Stratocaster and Jazzmaster pickup is in the depth and width of the coil mostly. Jazzmaster pickup coil is shallower and wider. This apparently makes them see a bit wider part of the string, and that should generate more signal and sound bit warmer in theory. Like reason why the single coil pickups sound more precise and have more details on the clean than humbuckers is often explained with the same phenomenon. Humbuckers pick up a wider part of the string, and some frequencies dampen each other. I believe that's a major thing, but there are a few more things involved as usually is in such complex things.
Jazzmaster pickups have distinctive sound in Jazzmaster guitars, and that's a fact.
Now Jason Lollard makes Jazzmaster P90 versions, and this picture looks like that a lot. Being Squier I am aware that it's an impossible thing. But coild be some copycat of it. Like the rumor that UK company Toneruder has made even cheaper version of their, great fir the money, Strat and Tele pickups for the Classic Vibe guitars at some moment.
Anyhow, P90 has screws for pole peaces, and those screw true the steel rail/spacer under the coil and into the back plate. There are two alnico bar magnets on sides of that metal rail/spacer. So between the coil and the back plate. This is unique construction and is not even shared with the staple pickups that look similar from the top side.
Anyhow, I wonder if the construction the same in these pickups and whether they are using ceramic magnets to cut costs.
BTW, non related exactly, but staple pickup have alnico pole peaces in the voice coil and sound different than P90 pickups. Original Gibson staple pickup are to big. Require huge routing hole. Though Stu from Sunbear pickups makes an awesome version of his own. Those sound awesome. Would be a great option for at least neck pickup on the Revstar. Neck staple pickup would give it cleaner detailed, more Fender like clean sounds. P90 in bridge would keep more similar to humbuckers tone character of P90's.
I swapped out the electronics and now it's a lifer guitar for me. They are amazing. Love the stock pickups.
My favourite album is entirely recorded with this guitar!! It's Turnover - Peripheral Vision and the singer's guitar is this very axe!! It ALREADY IS a classic in the indie rock sphere! Soooo glad it gets the recognition it deserves!
never thought id see turnover mentioned here 😭😭 love that album!!
@@carp_al9998 I've certainly never seen it mentioned here. Such a beautiful album mate
I love to hear you play.
I love to hear that guitar being played.
Really lovely work and the guitar sounds fabulous
I got a squier and did some neck polish this and that and I cannot believe how awesome the Indonesian factory does things nowadays , I think every music brand just charges 70% of the price with the excuse of the brand name itself , Squiers are great for the money and people complain that they don't come out of the box with a great setup.... well thats where it is the job of the player to learn some stuff about how guitars function and do a self setup and learn in the process ! I cant tell u how many guitarists I know of who get their things setup by luthiers and only know how to tune .
Exactly. I spent around 35 bucks on Amazon and ordered every single thing needed for a full on setup. The whole deal, slotted straight edge, a level and crown kit, 600 grit wet dry sandpaper, a known straight surface, and a few other things. The videos on yt showing how to use them are free. I've setup at least 12 guitars and saved probably close to a grand and made a few bucks on the side. Well worth the money and time.
My Classic Vibes are each such a joy to play! I am 58 yrs old and lived through the first wave of bad guitars (all brands) and what players have to choose from today is wonderful and generally need nothing more than a minor setup (if that) and your personal favorite set/gauge of strings.
I fell in love with the neck the first time I picked one up. It's subtly different, but damn it's nice. Honestly, the only guitar in my collection that I haven't been compelled to modify.
I would love to hear that 40th anniversary with same setup (amp, effects, room) like the way you have played the J.Mascis!!
I bought mine in 2014, so with rosewood fretboard 🤘🏻. Enjoying it for 10 years now!
Awesome stuff Chris !!
it's a fabulous guitar , I got one ! love the middle position :)
I have Squire paranormal I bought during lockdown. All you need to do is change the pickups, pots, input jack, bridge, nut, tuners, selector switch and boom. A killer guitar 🫤
4th he plays this intro jam and it gets better everytime🙏🙏🙏
@ChrisBuckGuitar Based on this video I went and purchased the J Mascis Squier Jazzmaster yesterday after playing it WOW!. I was lucky the closest Guitar Center to me had one in stock. No one has these in stock right now in the states, I couldn't believe I found one in the area. I also played about 20 Squier guitars yesterday including the 40th anniversary Jazzy. None of them had fretwork even close to what the J Mascis Jazzmaster has. The first thing I thought to myself was "why can't all Squires be like this?"
I bought a brand new Mexico player telecaster just about six weeks ago and the fretwork was nowhere near what the J Mascis signature has. It had a great intonation out of the box and only the 15th fret was a little high. I crowned that fret, and now this guitar is like do I dare say, the US made jazz master with much hotter pick ups lol. The folks that fender took a lot of time to do fret work on these, and quite frankly, I can't keep my hands off of the guitar. Sounds great, and it plays as good as any fender USA made guitar that I own. I am thrilled but at the same time absolutely blown away. I definitely purchased something very special. Thanks very much Chris for bringing this up.
I picked up a Squier J Mascis model several years ago for around $390. Couldn't believe how great it played and sounded for the money. I've thought about selling it several times but have hung on to it. Glad I did.
I’ve got a Tele Squier i installed a mojo tone electronics kit and installed a USA Tele Yosemite bridge pickup and it sounds amazing smooth quiet electronics. Can’t give it away!
Even on the scale that squiers are produced at, they can absolutely be classic guitars. I've found many hidden gems in the FSR range that I could see reaching that level
Of course they can. Just look at 80s MIJ Squiers. Mine was one of the best guitars I've ever had up until it was stolen
The Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster neck absolutely lived up to the hype. The neck felt so good in the hand and the crazy wood grain was amazing. I don't typically like fat necks, but this neck is slightly fatter than a typical Fender C and it was so comfortable. The pickups are certainly more P90-esque having a hotter and warmer sound.
I really enjoyed my time with this guitar and would have kept it if I didn't pick up an American Pro Jazzmaster for a deal. My only nitpicks were that the indian laurel fretboard often tends to get quite dry, the pickup selector feels cheap and the tuners are just ok but could certainly use an upgrade. I had one of the last models before it was initially discontinued in (2021 I believe) and I was very impressed it was setup very well right out of the box even after a year of constant delays.
Agree, three months ago Pro Audio in the states ran a heavy discount on the entire 40th anniversary line. Picked a beauty of a Jazzmaster. I've owned all the major guitar brands over the decades of playing and the neck on this guitar is outstanding. It'll be a guitar that I wear the frets off, it's that good. Lastly, one thing that wasn't pointed out, these guitars are NOT covered in heavy poly, which has been a common issue with Squiers. Great guitar for the $$ and they routinely go on sale. Cheers!!
I have one, and I love playing it. No doubt it’s gonna be a Classic.
Coincidentally I'm in the same search as you making a part caster jazzmaster so look forward to hearing your instalments in future (please put them in the form of a playlist?)
Other than a 500K-to-250K volume pot swap, I never saw fit to change the impressive ceramic pickups on my CIC '00 Affinity Strat lefty I restrung righty.
The CII '02 Bullet Strat hardtail amazes me differently after recently loading a set of Alnico 5's in an aftermarket tortoiseshell pickguard and also did the 500K-to-250K volume pot swap. At just over 6lbs, it's the lightest guitar I've ever played, it resonates like an acoustic and the hardtail bridge is a top-loader!
The CII 2011 Vintage Modified Precision Telecaster Bass does it with me as well. I hadn't played a bass 25yrs prior to buying this beautiful beauty over 2yrs ago and haven't changed anything but a set of flats and shimmed the bridge but that Wide-Range humbucker though... WOW! the most I'll do to this bass would be a push-pull volume pot for series/ parallel switching.
I’ve had one for years and it’s quietly become one of my main guitars. I even sold an AVRI Jazzmaster I had, that cost 8 times as much, because it didn’t come close. The neck’s wildly playable
Oh thank goodness I already have one before this video dropped. I love love love mine.
Probably! Some Squiers are amazing., I have a much critically loved Squier Standard Telecaster, and a Squier51 among others which I just love an dplay regularly right along with my Fender Strat and Tele! Great guitars are great guitars! ALSO "Falling Down" is a awesome movie!!!!
Just love to hear you play any Guitar Chris thanks but nice to see a quality player playing some of the cheaper versions well done Chris. Did you play on blues Cruise recently Chris not seen any vids yet???.
Wow, amazing guitar skills. Great playing
These guitars are a steal. For anyone interested, Black Bobbin in Chicago offers a few nice upgrade options - including custom Lollar pickups and high-quality pots. Also, guitarist Avi Bortnick (from Scofield's Überjam band) has put a couple of these J Mascis necks onto Strat bodies because he likes the neck shape/feel so much.
I’m really happy I bought one 3 years ago
My 2015 JMJM is my favorite electric I’ve ever had. So much so that I sold every Gibson and Fender I own and just kept this one. ❤
I've had mine for a few years and couldn't believe how much value is in the JMJM. I just wanted the color/pickguard and put some Ristrettos/920d harness and shoehorned a Mastery trem/bridge in it and it's my favorite guitar ever lol... All in around $1200 and it plays/sounds $3000+!!
Sounds fantastic in your hands 😊
Very tempted to pick one of these up to keep my CV company, and see how an AOM bridge stands up to my more traditional CV bridge.
40th anniversary jazz master is my primary guitar now. Just feels nicer than the telescope, lip jrs, and others I have in my collection
I have 2 Squires, a Strat and a Paranormal Thinline Cabronita Tele. Both guitars a quite simply freaking amazing!
What a gifted player!!! Amazing
I have a 87 MIJ squier tele. It’s home for me.
Classic vibes ( Squier )
Killer guitars
that was absolutely stunning
I think I’ve gotten an idea why this is so fine. Chris plays like a violin player at times, sometimes horns. Up and down the strings for tasty effect vs scale patterns like shredding. I’m trying it myself. He is one of my favs and man I’m old. I’ve seen everybody play I think.
Gorgeous intro riff
Love this stuff.
I have it and I love it! I didn't find the guitar, it found me. Was checking out a variety of guitars. Thing blew me away, for that money! But wait... mine has aged hardware, matte body, maple neck and fretboard and regular frets. It's made in Indonesia. 40th anniversary.
Beautiful opening solo!
That opening sequence ❤️and I’m a listener, not a guitar player.
