I bought the this same guitar a few months ago, but in natural finish with a tortoise guard. I have barely put it down. I have an Epiphone ES-339 and a Classic Vibe 50s Tele, and the 70s Squire Strat gets the bulk of the practice time. I bring this guitar to our Friday night jam sessions, and it holds its weight - my playing being the limiting factor. This guitar is awesome. If your want a Strat for about half the price of a Fender Player Series, definitely check out the Squire Classic Vibe.

Squier's been knocking it out of the park lately with their Classic Vibe offerings. I've noodled around with some basses at my local, and I picked up a Classic Vibe Starcaster earlier this year, and it's been a dream to play. Neck & frets are awesome, pickups sound great, just a few minor wiring tweaks needed.

I can vouch for that... the unplugged sustain on my 70s is incredibly good. For perspective, a decade or so ago, I bought a Bullet Strat because it seemed to be relatively well-made for a then $99 guitar. The pickups had the quack, but way too much overall and sounded super-thin (very cheap ceramics). Decent intonation, but tuning issues and my playing at the time was pretty bad. I upgraded to an Ibanez Hollow-Body with Humbuckers, which was more forgiving of my playing & never thought to own a Squier again until I started watching these reviews for the past year or two. Took a chance and was not disappointed. The Alnicos used today are so much better than those early ceramics
@johnwelch557
4 жыл бұрын
Nice guitar and review as always. The pups are alnico as you note. They are much clearer than ceramic. Individual notes are more distinct. Don't change them. I have several strats with one or the other. Good to record songs with the time correct pups. I particularly like alnicos with flatwound D'Addarios (i use a plain 3rd string). The vibratos are all good (expensive or not). That is one of the secrets of the strat sound. String bending causes the bridge to pull up slightly giving a softer, more resonant sound. Also the string vibrations travel through the block and springs to the body and back through the strings again rendering resonance (subtle). Heavier blocks transfer more sound. Both heavy and light have their own values for sound. I use both for recording needs.Sinthetic nuts feel like plastic, but erode differently, more like bone. Good material actually. Playability is important, period correct appearance is silly. Use a fine abrasive and take off the neck finish. I now say any guitar above $150.00us is foolish. I have a room and a half full of all price point guitars after 58 years of play. The inexpensive ones gig, record and play just as well. Just massage them and make them your own. Thanks again sir for letting me rattle!

Love the channel Lando! I’m a fender fan and player from way back. I own many strats and teles and i bought the exact same guitar when they first came out. Still plays great today. You were talking about alpha pots and how they’d do after some time well i will say that they do hold up quite well after years of abuse so this isn’t an issue, like you said, just a cost cutting measure. As an electronic tech, there’s better quality pots for sure but as a rule of thumb, they’re all built to certain standards and the tests that they go through before leaving the factories are pretty endured. Only drawback is that alpha or mini pots tend to get “scratchy” more quickly than CTS or better ones.

More like a '70 Strat w/a pre-'71 single string tree; it shoulda had the truss rod at the heel as well as the 'with synchronized tremolo' and 'original contoured body' decals on the headstock. Speaking of tremolo, that thin tremolo block is SOOO out-of-place and yes that nut is definitely plastic; imported Squiers are not known to have bone nuts unless they were installed after purchasing. Those pickup magnets are far from being Alnicos cuz they look more like ceramic bar magnets...but I'd still rock it. To me Alpha pots are cheap but better than any cheaply made pots around; my Indonesian '02 Squier Bullet Strat hardtail has 500K Alphas that requires a treble bleed capacitor on the volume as it loses a bit of highs when rolling down past 10 and would definitely benefit with those pickups (anything's better than these noisy metal bottom PU's!).

Nice review man! The dirt is the strings probably, they are always like that when they are new on Fenders or Squiers. I actually tried one of these in black a year ago, and they had a real 70's Fender hanging next to it in the exact same colour so I tried them both and I was surprised that the body of the Squier was the same size as the Fender. However much like you, I didn't like the sound of the pickups. Many people say that these Fender designed Alnico 5 are an upgrade from the Duncan Design, but what many people don't seem to know is that the DD are Alnicos too. Anyway, I didn't like the sound of the pickups nor do I like the neck. The guitar overall looks really beautiful but I just can't stand that neck for some reason.

@@landonbailey Oh I'm a Strat guy down to my bones, but these new Classic Vibe 70's just didn't do it for me. I hated the sound.

The last two Gibsons I played (one of which I kept and one I sent back) were a LP Standard Goldtop and an ES-335 and each left my fingers black after playing (without changing the original strings) for the first few sessions. P.S. - I thought the tone sounded pretty good for $400.

I can't make up my mind between classic vibe 70's and 60's strat. if you tried the 60's to which one do you prefer? great video !

I've heard the 60/70 are pretty much the same in terms of specs. So it might just be their colours. Check Anderton’s KZitem channel. they've demo'd them I'm pretty sure

Yeah they’re the same, difference are the colours and the headstock (of which the 70s is objectively better... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

I saw one of these at the local guitar shop. It was a natural colour with this horrid looking cardboard like fingerboard. But here it looks ok ! I got a VM Squier 70s strat with laural fingerboard and it looks really nice.

Laurel fretboads have a lighter color, Epiphone and Squier are using laurel but They dye it to make it darker, but it is staining people's fingers.

I would love one of these at some stage Landon but that skinny trem block would have to go. Also the pups and electrics. Is there neck dive with that light body? Thanks for another thorough and entertaining review 😊👍👍

They’re better balanced for tuning stability if you float the trem. Also the type of metal can really improve sustain. A few years ago I changed one on an SX Strat from a soft crappy what my Dad calls “pig iron” to a fatter brass one and it made a huge difference. Especially the sustain.

I had this guitar in the past, it's a good one, just change the pickups because it doesn't sound good not even close to 70s sound
