Quick demo and Many Thoughts on the Squier Classic Vibe 70’s Jaguar

Bit of a different video from me today...

If you’re here just to hear what this guitar sounds like, you only need to listen to the first few minutes for a brief demo.

Demo recorded using my Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp through Harley Benton GPA-400 power amp through a Marshall 1960A cab using a Shure sm57.

After that, if you’re interested, you can go down a bit of a rabbit hole and listen to my thoughts on the Squier Classic Vibe 70’s Jaguar, mainly from a tech’s perspective. I wanted to give my honest thoughts on the guitar, so here they are!

If you don’t want to listen to me waffle on, here are my points summarized:

On the not so good side -

* Needed a fret level straight away
* Nut action was too high and nut was not finished well
* Neck was very poorly shimmed

On the good side -

* Nut is made from bone!
* Pickups sound great! (11.35K bridge, 5.96K neck)
* Bridge is solid!
* Electronics are good!
* Tuners do their job.
* Vibrato unit is solid!
* Neck feels nice.
* Binding and blocks look great!
* Guitar looks and feels amazing!
* All of the things that I didn’t like about the guitar were fixable.

So, those are my initial thoughts on the guitar. Next I will make a video showing how I’ll go about the mods for this guitar (3 way toggle and series/parallel switch), and after that, a more thorough demonstration will be in order!

Thank you all for watching and interacting with my videos, it’s what makes it all worthwhile!
