In my opinion,
A good player (which you are) can squeeze a good sound of of any instrument whereas a bad player doesn’t know how to get a lick of tone out of the worlds best equipment (unless by luck) and then the ability to play comes into factor.

That being said.
In my experience good equipment does have better tonal range than what you are getting out of that squire.

I currently own a 56 start replica.
and a 66 Fender super reverb.

There are minor differences in our tone.
But what i think is important is that the player likes his sound, and if proper tone is used (no matter the equipment) then the player will come through just fine on stage.

lastly, I have found (in my opinion)
That the audience gets a good connection to a player who is really felling there music, vs players who are very capable but are bored.

To quote Santana
“If you aint’ feelin it no one will”

Take care,
Mike

Yep, just what I thought; these Squire II’s are something different: heavy, and with more sustain than my prized 77LPC. It’s my main guitar for latest wknd warrior gig. Ebayed a SemDunc bridge p’up for it, but the stock is better. Nice find. Just fixing up a bullet; p’ups have half the DC res. I’m sure the bullet won’t come close…that’s where th SD pup can go!

Those ass speakers are just a breed of snobbish posers. But dont get upset man, most of em are probably 12 year olds.

Ah, good to know! I’m looking for an affordable electric guitar, it would be mainly a whim. I was considering a Fender Squire and then I read that it sounds like crap ;) Glad to know it’s not true. Cheers!

Great video - cool playing.

There aren’t many Squire videos on Youtube. I got a Squire back in ‘97 and nevery really learned to play it. I’d like to buy a better guitar, but I think the squire, is good for me to learn and play riffs - just have fun.

Good to hear what a Squire can do - although I understand all squires are different.

You’ve just skillfully smashed these snobby assholes who buy expensive gear and they start their quest for criticing cheap stuff. I’ve got even cheaper than Squier lefthanded Stagg S300 strat copy and I’ve read so many stupid inconstructive comments about that guitar written by self-appointed experts who had never touch it. I’ve learned to play on this guitar and I think it’s awesome. Now I’m going to buy a little more expensive guitar. Probably It’ll be Vintage VS6 with humbuckers.

You’re open-minded. Respect.

There are no modifications to the guitar. It’s 100% original.
