For all you Squier owner's (I own one), this will make you proud. Check this guy out. He starts getting real fancy half the way through.

Squier really isnt that bad of a brand, not just cause of this video. If you get a squier setup right (that means checking the nut and fret leveling) you will have an awesome playing guitar. And add some decent pickups it gets even better. Add new hardware and WOAH watch out you have a player on your hands!

Oh yes, that's a Squier 8)

Nice one, Wes!

Actually Flash, I've never been tempted to tinker with mine (except for the occasionally temperamental selector switch) - I like the sound just the way it is. The sound I like is where Mr Renman say, "...a nice blues sound too" - that's the sound I chose it for!

Oh yeah, I love my Squier Tele just the way it is too. It gets a great Blues overdrive with the bridge pickup, but it also gets a terrific Jazz tone with the neck pickup. It is a great sounding guitar.

Go Squier! :D

LOL, i didnt say the pickups they have are bad. But the moment you try some Lindy Fralins or Bill Lawrence keystones you will tone exactly what I meant!

Bill Lawrence Keystones are especially awesome in Tele's.

Me personally I used some old BL's that were made in like 1992 and they sounded extremely awesome in my Dad's Parts-Caster Tele.

after playing my fender strat, and then playing my squier, I find it hard to adjust, the neck is so much thinner that it becomes "weird".

Thanks Dudes!
Keep on Rockin'

Man... I wish I could do some of he's doing and walk into a Guitar Center and let it RIPP... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Very cool! I like my Squier Tele stock too. Just had to have the frets dressed, and action lowered, but that's it. I love the feel of the neck too. 8)

Great little jams there. Thinks he can shred, Yeah, he can. I'd like to hear him with a band playing some real tunes, not just jamming.

It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!

I wish they would make Left handed Squier Telecaster...

Ya , they do make the strat which is 229 $ (around 171 $ lesser than the Standard MIM )

He has a nice little site, Reb, well worth a visit. Dolphinstreet Music. Sound clips, videos, reviews, lessons - good stuff. Sounds like a nice man :D
