Just a short video on my personal experience with the new Squier Debut Series Stratocaster. Not in depth, just some likes and dislikes. Overall an outstanding guitar. Really like it!!!

What I thought was going to be a short video turned into one of my longest LOL! Sorry, I had planned to pan around the room and show each of the amps, but by “take #3” (because of lighting issues - still present in this video) I forgot to show the amps. No big deal though - you can look any of them up - Ill put the list below. All the very best to you all!! - Fender Bassman Blackface head and c...

Happy Father's Day 2024! So here is a guitar I paid $50 for. It actually came with an amp (sad little scratchy mess of an amp - but hey for $50??). I was going to mod it but decided to leave it alone. The action is really rough but if you can press down bridge cables with your callouses it doesn't sound half bad LOL. It's hung on the wall for about 6 months and I haven't done anything with it b...

Here is a little Epiphone I got a few months ago used for $50. It has laminated back, sides, and top, but the great thing about that is it is pretty resistant to being in heat or cold (which it is most of the time without heat or AC). Plays nicely - could use a little work on the action and some new strings, but otherwise a very fun guitar. All the best to all of you!!
A new guitar comes to life - what happens next?
มุมมอง 513 หลายเดือนก่อน
After you finish building or assembling a guitar and a little time goes by there are likely to be some needed adjustments, some setup / tuning tweaking, and maybe even some final finish work. There might also be some surprises (changes in the neck, frets, hardware, etc). In this video I go over some things that affected a few of my recent builds a little time later. Here is the link for the fir...

Building guitars for 7 years - the most important thing I learned
มุมมอง 2.4K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
Just a quick video to talk about my journey through repairing, modding, and most importantly building guitars since 2017. It's been frustrating, eye opening, challenging, and finally fun. This year I think I crossed a threshold - I will share what that is toward the end of the video. Thanks for watching. Have a GREAT Day!!

Here is some supplemental information to the video. It is my goal this year to learn how to edit videos so I can film a series of build steps in sequence. It would have been fun to do so on this assembly. I have my rosewood/walnut neck through telecaster build started (I glued the neck up about 3 years ago) and I really want to film it when the time comes (probably in fall when my workshop cool...
Blues In Memory of Albert King

Albert King was the first person I ever saw with a flying V. This guitar is so much fun to play that I haven't put it down since I put new strings on it. Probably the most fun guitar I've ever had. Hope you all have a GREAT Day!

Well, Dr's visits, cloud cover, and a bit of a depressing day - but never let them get you down LOL. I thought I'd lighten things up with a little up-tempo bit that was an experiment. It was fun to try so I will probably do more with this kind of thing over time. Hope you all have an EXCELLENT Day!!!

I think I could do 11's on this guitar - thanks for the suggestion!
Very nice playing and signing. Well done.
Thanks for the nice comment. All the bes to you!

I love this ❤

Can I have the Cliff Notes PLEEEEEZE?? GEEEZIS!!!
Niice neck, moderately good action from the factory - needed the saddle cut slightly, solid spruce top, bright crisp sound, I like it. LOL
Rumor has it the pickups in these are mini Humbuckers and different than the OG’s. If that’s true, it’s a deal killer for sure.
From what a buddy of mine who is a well respected tech in Florida says, they are specific Firebird pickups even though they share the mini humbucker sized. Not sure if that's true or how to find out, but the sound of the pickups is definitely unique to my humble ears. All the best and thanks for watching!
@@guitarbobification I don't see it as a deal breaker, especially considering the price point, but you are correct: they are NOT mini humbuckers, but Epiphone Probucker FB 720s instead. Again, for the price, I feel it covers a wide range of tones. A great mix between a humbucker & a P90 if you will.
Nice job 👏
Thanks! I appreciate you watching. All the best to you!
Love the shirt!😊❤
Only for you LOL
Hi Robert understand what you mean about how the guitar feels. I note your "list"of dislikes was minimal. I have a 2019 Squier Fat Strat,a real lump, but great in all other aspects. Looking forward to your song and dance routine. You take care.
Yes, the list of dislikes was definitely small - this is really a fun guitar to play. I probably won’t upgrade it only because I am working on building an explorer and have a neck through tele that was glued and cut about 5 years ago. I was waiting to have time to work on them and some tools I needed. Its funny you said your Squire is a lump - my epi gold top LP is the heaviest, thickest electric I have but I love it - just glad I don’t have to stand on stage with it for a few hours LOL!! All the best!
Go for it Robert, just playin' and singin' fron your heart. Beautiful.
Thank you very much! It was a lot of fun! All the best to you!!!!🙏😃
You knocked that one out of the park. 🙂
Thanks for your continued encouragement! I need to sing more but its hard to play the acoustic with my crippled old fingers LOL. All the very best!!
I cannot resist a bargain either. Take care.
Good to hear from you my friend. I am surprised how good this guitar sounds even with the laminated top. I think its because its aged a little now. Reminds me of my old Gibson J45. All the best!
Haha! "You just tall that's all!!" 😅I love it! Great to hear you singing!❤
My favorite line in the song!!! LOL
Looks like a beauty pagent going on with all those lovely guitars! Love to hear you jam! ❤️ 😊❤

Sweet man !! I love the firebird pickup !!! I have a set of dimarzio vintage minis however i think at one time they called them firebirds !!?!!? So im holding off buying a gibson firebird set till i can get more information Cheers !! 🍻
Thanks for watching. I am still struggling to play the Firebird. I need to do a setup so that it's a little lighter on the action - then the fact that I have to stretch a bit to reach the beginning of the neck won't be as challenging LOL. All the best to you!
@@guitarbobification thx !! Ive learned i don't like long throw guitars like the SG or FB...I think the LP is perfect for the scale, throw and component placement. I just like the dimarzio minis I have and really wanna try a set of FB pups 😛😛🤟🤟
I would love to get a set of FB minis for my gold top. The probuckers it came with are very nice, but because I probably won't play the FB much it would be a great marriage - like you said, the scale length and neck comfort of an LP is very attractive!! All the best!
I just got a V 70's style. Doesn't seem to fit my stand any suggestions? Dana.
I wish I had a good answer. I went through a bunch of wall hangers for guitars and ended up with one that is steel and has pads for the headstock that aren't reactive to lacquer. They look like a guitar body made of metal (the plastic ones didn't make me feel comfortable). None of my stands (every imaginable configurations) worked to sit it on the floor. Because its a Gibson, you want to make sure you don't accidentally bang the headstock (I have done it a bunch of times but got lucky I didn't break one.) Don't know how many guitars you have but I am thinking about getting a Guitar Stand Case that will hold a bunch and I think the Flying V and the Explorer I am working on now might work with that. Odd guitar - Odd stuff you have to have for it LOL. Thanks for watching. All the very best to you!!

Great sound , nice demo , finally found the sound I was looking for , thank you
Thanks for watching and the kind words. Hope you get the sound you're after. All the best to you!
Thanks for the video, You're far more enthusiastic about the guitar than my missus is :D. Theres one of these for sale locally for a good price that im considering getting. I don't have a p90 guitar and have discovered thast im a fan of SGs so might have to pick it up!
Thanks for watching. I am fortunate to have a wife that doesn't protest too much anymore since I have shown over time that my guitar purchases are not a waste since they have sale value later (unlike going out for dinner, taking a vacation, going to a festival - all things we also do that have a dead cost LOL)! All the very best to you.
That sounds awesome!!

Thanks for the heads up - I will have to shop online to see what I can find. All the very best to you.
nice-- you just factored into my decision to buy a used one. 300.00

Happy Fathers Day Robert. That cheapie Strat style guitar doesn't sound too bad at all! Love the song, your playing and singing! Have a good one!
Thank you. I hope you had a good father's day as well! I had to have 2 beers to get my hands loosened up enough to play this guitar with the crazy high action LOL. Didn't have a wrench to adjust it at the time.
WOW MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT! Full Speed Ahead!
Thanks brother!! Wrote it for my daughter and a buddy's daughter that were both going through a rough patch. Much better now LOL!!!
Thats Sweet and I'm so glad!
