    I'm so glad I payed the extra for my classic vibe rather than a Harley Benton copy. The Indonesian Squiers are bounds ahead in quality and playability than anything remotely in the price range.

    They’ve turned the squier classic vibe into this generation’s mim fender.

Will it ever be the best guitar ever no but it gets the job done and gives you great bang for the buck.

    Got an insane deal on the butterscotch blonde Classic Vibe ($249 Labor Day blowout sale two years ago), by far the best bang for buck guitar I've ever bought. I'd put it up against the Fender Player series any time. A few caveats. The pine body is a bit heavy, and the gloss neck might not be for everyone, but hey, if you can't spare the ten minutes it takes to rough it up with a little sandpaper, that's on you.

    I own two of these, and regret selling the third one. The tuners just are fine. As good as my Fender ones. This is the most bang for your money on a Tele and pretty close to the original (I've played a genuine '54). The biggest differences are that the Squier is heavy (3.8-4.2 kg) and the original feels rougher to the touch because of the nitro getting worn exposing the wood. Poly will last 750 million years before showing any wear so the Squier will feel like new forever. I like that, even though I also have a Tele that briefly caught fire during a concert :)

      Do you not mind the thick poly on the back of the neck? It’s the only thing I’m worried about. Everything else looks good on the 50’s Classic Vibe. Good split post tuners, Fender Alnico pickups, Bone nut, C-Shape Neck with 9.5” radius, 3 Classic barrel bridge saddles, string through body and ashtray style Fender bridge pickup plate. I wonder if it’s not hard to sand down the lacquer in back of neck because I really like the bones of this guitar. All I might upgrade is bridge saddles with compensated brass 3 barrel saddles, better output Jack, pots and cloth wiring, maybe different pickups (Seymour Duncan Hot Rails), file down nut slots and level/crown/polish frets and round over fingerboard edges for worn in comfortable feeling neck. Could be a hell of a guitar for not a lot invested, especially if you make the upgrades one at a time instead of spending all at once. I would love to see how it turns out after that.

    I have one of those cream coloured G400 epiphones with the 3 pick ups. I’m considering selling it or trying to do a swap for one of these Teles?
    Do you think I’ll regret it or love it?
    The G400s are going for around a little more than the cost of one of these Teles brand new price. I wish there was a music store locally rather than everything having to be online coz I can’t try one out or speak to anyone about doing a straight swap.

      From Indonesia, the second one was white from china and both literally perfect...

      @@ronpriest7135 I just haven’t been impressed with the wood grain on the blonde and butterscotch finished ones coming out of indo. Some look like cutting boards. The early China ones were using some really nice grainy pine that looked like ash.

      The blonde ones are fitted with Alnico III's whilst the butterscotch models are fitted with Alnico V's. The earlier Chinese made butterscotch models were fitted with 'Tonerider' Alnico V's as stock.

    • @PlayandTradeGuitars
      @PlayandTradeGuitars  Год назад

      I really appreciate it! I'd say all the great blues/rock players are my main influences - Albert King, SRV, Hendrix and while I'm not really a jazz player a LOT of influence on my sound from Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, John Scofield, Larry Carlton. But then I'm a total geek for Steve Vai, Satriani, Eric Johnson. I love love country guitar too. Can't forget Chet Atkins. Also Steve Cropper is a big influence. Young players like Marcus King now are incredible, he's my favorite at the moment. I also love classical guitar, Julian Bream probably was my favorite player and interpreter. This could be a very long comment so I'll just stop and say I'm influenced by too many great players to list haha thanks for watching. Who are you listening to these days?

    • @EbonyPope

      @@PlayandTradeGuitars Oh wow I absolutely adore Wes Montgomery. The way he uses octaves. Very nice. I'm a huge Hendrix fan too. It wasn't until I discovered the Band Of Gypsies live album at Fillmore East that I discovered that Hendrix was way more versatile than just rock. These funk and soul based stuff like Power of Love, Stepping Stone and especially Who Knows blew me away. Because all you usually hear from him are his more simple hits like Hey Joe etc.
      Concerning Vai etc. I must admit that I really hate shred. Especially the tone. Satriani and all these others (except Guthrie) really sound like Amiga computer game sounds. Incredibly sterile and mechanical. And although they are impressive generally I see them as athletes. People who push the envelope but to a point where it becomes more of a sport than music. Impressive yes, but incredibly boring.
      The only one I can at least listen to us Guthrie Govan because his tone isn't sterile and his phrasing had a lot of jazz etc. in it.
      Oh yeah definitely love the finger pickers and classical guitarists too. I am classically trained so that's why I really like it. There is nothing better if you want to learn good fretting hand technique and general discipline. It also benefits you when your want to learn Travis picking etc. It was really easy to learn did to my classical background but I never wanted to stay there because although I really like classical music is very limiting in comparison to jazz. There is nothing more valuable for a musician in my opinion than to be able to come up with good melodies and chord patterns on the spot. It's the highest degree of musicisnship one can achieve. Oddly enough during the times of Mozart improv was highly encouraged and there were real improv battles between him and as far as I remember Clementi. Over the centuries this attitude got lost however and classical music despite some still including improv here and there is mostly void of that. Which is a shame. It had become so restrictive that I realized even though I love classical music I don't want to be stuck just reinterpreting music from dead people. All you do is play other people's music for the most part.
      That was when I discovered Gypsy Jazz and oh boy did it give me motivation. It's incredibly fast and melodic and in still learning. I discovered a new start on the Gypsy Jazz horizon his name is Joscho Stephan a German jazz guitarist. Check him out. His version of Hey Joe is just amazing.
      I don't care that you wrote a lot. Could have been even more. I like to talk about music. I'm currently bedridden for the most part since I had a Myocarditis and COVID 19 and am still recovering. Hope I'll soon be able to return to playing with my band. It's a Salsa and Bachata band. I like to listen to Latino music but didn't imagine to play it. However I'm learning so much right now. It's really worth to leave one's own confirm zone and try new things even though one might not really be into this kind of music. You'll always learn something new.
      Go have a listen to Joscho Stephan. Tell me what you think. Have a nice day man and give us some more of your sweet playing.

    l bought a Butterscotch blonde 52 classic vibe about nine years ago.. Mine has brass saddles, rather than the chrome. i exchanged the pickups to Seymour Duncan. Thats the only mode l made...One point though, the chrome isn't very good ,it soon degrades and goes dull. overall though this is a very good Guitar Well worth the money... l believe it cost about €260 at the time...
