I came here to chew gum and read angry comments...and I'm all out of gum.
Wise choice - I started with a coffee and now I am hyper accccctive
I’m sure there’s some gum behind the headstock of your JM!
@@derPaul76 i took a viagra and now i'm looking for hot milfs in the comment section of this video about telecasters
Gum in your bum! ;oP
I came here to chew angry comments and read gum...and I'm all out of angry comments.
I think most people would be happy if Fender just added a few upgrades to the CV. Full sized pots, shielding paint, some better hardware, and a gold Fender logo.
5 dollar upgrade isn't a dealbreaker
Spoiler alert, that’s coming soon
But then it would be priced at $999.
They literally did that aside from the ceramic pups everyone hates oh and the logo isn't gold lol
@ The Trump guitar decal is priced at $10K. The guitar is priced at $11500, and without the printed signature it's $1500, and without the brand name it would probably be $300.
Seems like a used MIM Fender is probably the way to go for the most bang-for-buck goodness.
@@Mamo878 it never has not been the best choice.
Just not a pre-1999 MIM standard, because they're almost the exact same spec as the Indo Fender that people are complaining about now.
If you own a router and like building things, building your own solid body guitar is easy and you make it exactly they way you want it for way less than buying anything new.
@@unggoy8564 I would like to see your parts list source with prices.
I bought a Player Plus Strat on FB Marketplace for $450 last year. I love that guitar!
Fender by Squier: the NEW paranormal series 😂
The Fender looks more like a cheap Squier with the unfinished neck. The Classic Vibe has that nice tinted finish on the neck which a lot of players prefer.
I'm personally a big satin guy, absolutely abhor any type of poly, nitro, or really anything that would be considered a glossy neck. Visually I'd say the glossy look is definitely better, but from a playability standpoint it's such a night-and-day difference that a glossy neck is borderline a dealbreaker for me. I'd wager that the vast majority of people prefer a more "bare" satin type finish when it comes to playability, always been curious why anybody would like the way a new gloss feels to play
@@BensonOfD they feel the exact same to me
It’s not unfinished and the squier is notoriously known for using unrealistically dark tint and super thick poly finish which many players actually don’t prefer over a nice smooth satin neck
i dont like the neck tint, but it's the only thing i don't like about my cv 50s tele
I'm with you but I hear SO MANY people call poly glossy necks "Sticky," I don't feel that way at all. Plus, the answer to those people is, "Here is some 0000 Steel wool, Rub the back of the neck a hundred times." Which also reminds me of a joke that I will not repeat here.
The only thing I don't like about a poly neck is that it doesn't get that eventual worn look like a nitro-finished neck, but they always look new. Even my 1984 MIJ Squier Stratocaster's neck still looks great and it was my only guitar when I was a gigging musician from 1986 - 1993.
Classic vibe looks much more premium
The Squier looks like the real deal. Like a genuine '52 tele. Ash tray bridge, 5 screw pickguard, tinted neck, vintage tuners and alnico pickups.
My Squire affinity telecaster ( 6.5 lbs) that I paid $200 ( had a nick) has the same specs as the fender standard that cost $400 more
The Squire would be my pick from the looks especially with the finished fretboard.
Squier.
@@DMSProduktions theres a non zero chance that it was autocorrect. you dont need to be pissy about it
@ WAS I talking to you?
There's 1 in EVERY crowd!
Squier is the new Fender.
The Classic Vibe should have the Fender logo on it as it is the better guitar
False.
Yeah but then it would be even more expensive than a Player series
@tosehoed123 pricing in stores dictates differently. CV is $699 & the Standard is $859 so the minute differences wouldn't make a major impact on pricing to have the same parts. While the Mim is $1199. All prices are in Canadian dollars.
@Safetysealed lol ok.
I think I actually prefer the Squier logo. It says "I was able to have as good of a guitar as you (after some mods), except I got $1000 extra dollars in the bank."
Standard isn't even blonde! It's orange just like an affinity! 😂 These will be fenders biggest fail in decades.
8:12 Landon realizing he forgot to get his blue meth
My clasic vibe 50s is totally different, mine has lots of shielding paint, different saddles on the bridge, full size pots with pressure mounted nobs and a pcb switch. Mines a 2014 made in china, did they change a few things when switching to Indonesia?
Most likely. If I understand it correctly, Fender contracts out the construction of most, if not all, of their overseas made guitars. Meaning that your 2014 Chinese Squier was likely built by and entirely different manufacturer than the new Indonesian Squiers. And different manufacturers might prefer slightly different components or manufacturing methods.
Yeah. My 2020 has no shielding paint, an Oaks-Grigsby STYLE switch, and alpha pots. Classic 3-saddle bridge tho, with the ash tray shape (no ash tray cover, tho).
Seems to be an exact copy of the original mex standard series tele from back in the day. Including the price tag… Why everyone is upset, I don’t know. Squire CV has always been a better guitar than the fender standard.
All these tele videos makes me wanna get a tele and I don’t own one……..yet
I wouldn't do what I did and wait 40 years and if you're on a budget or just want to get to know what they're like without spending a lot of money, the Harley Benton in Seafoam green is a really nice guitar for under $200.00.
Best choice i did, even better than a Strat. A true Rock'n'Roll workhorse.
I had a 2002 USA Telecaster Deluxe but sold it a few years ago. Recently I fancied a Tele again and I now have a Squier Classic Vibe 50's Telecaster and it beats that Tele Deluxe hands down. When I bought it, it was £258. Amazing 👌
Not angry, more not pleased that Fender basically made a Squier, slapped a Fender logo on it and sold it for 3x4 times what it would be if it had another logo on it.
I mean, its not the first time this has happened as you had Chinese made Fenders back about a decade or so ago. You also have Squier runs made all over the world including the US. So its in brand for Fender.
This actually brings up the same dilemma that I have for Epiphone vs Gibson debate. Would I rather have a top of the line Epiphone or a bottom of the line Gibson? I have yet to pull the trigger on a new "bottom of the line Gibson.' I would rather have the Squier Classic Vibe vs a Indonesian made Fender.
That said I buy used guitars so that I get the most bang for my buck and I can use the difference to upgrade the Squier to taste. That's how I vote with my money.
Now, if you pick up a Fender Standard guitar and it is your jam, buy it. If you have a connection that a Squier, another Fender, or another brand does not give you, buy the guitar you vibe with. I would suggest putting your hands on one of these eatger than just buying one without trying it. This goes for any guitar brand. 😉👍✨
I’m not in the market for a standard or a classic vibe, but you have done a great job giving them each a fair shake! Love your vids, I will continue watching, playing guitar, and having fun 🤘
Still prefer the Squier. Had a made in China CV Tele for 7 years. Sounded great, looked great! The grain on it was really nice. There isn't anything on the Fender Standard that would make me choose it over the CV. Thanks Landon 👍
If you want the authentic Telecaster sound, you need swamp ash. The Squire is pine, and the Fender is poplar. Unfortunately, the swamp ash trees are threatened by the emerald ash borer and climate change.
The CV looks and plays great. If you want a real one you will spend big money. I have both and the CV is good for most people. imo
I’m fine, thanks for asking. You’re Canadian, so I know you do care.
The weather? After a balmy monsoon season, the hot dry weather is now starting up, which is making things unpleasant and requiring even more AC than usual.
All right folks break out the torches and pitchforks!! If you can't find a torch, just use a new Fender standard on instead
The Fender will have better resale because it says "Fender" on the headstock.
I just bought a February 2024 Squire and it has the blond neck like your classic, and it also has eight screws and the extra “Nashville” cut out in the body. Small pots & pcb switch . . . pickups sound ceramic.
Not sure which pickups it has yet.
It looks to me like last year‘s Squier is this year‘s classic and this year‘s Squier is a little different.
Fender has hit a new low.
How?
@Government_of_lawsBass VII?
Great video Landon.
I have a Classic Vibe 50's Tele. Love it. Had to replace the pots, and I replaced the tuners.
I don't mind the headstock saying Squire. I also have a CV 70's Strat. That is an awesome guitar. Zero flaws.
For me. If I buy a Fender, I want it to be made in USA, or at least Mexico.
Not in the same factory as the Squire. Seems like the extra $$$ is for the Fender sticker on the headstock.
Don't know if that makes any sense. lol
Since i've discovered this channel Landon is on my comedian top tier list. Irony, sarcasm, witty remarks, great sense of humor and a voice i can listen to for hours. Just another great video (of course, stayed for vibey plastic reveal).
Welcome aboard!
Imo, the standard is $170 for a fender logo. I think it’s a cash grab
I played a CV Tele back when they were still Chinese made and it was the best guitar I never bought. Looking at this footage, it seems like the best one is a combo of them. The real comparison would be the new standard vs. a new affinity tele, as they look more similar and have similar specs - poplar body, ceramic pickups, non-tinted neck. Out of these two, though, I'd get the CV.
Time to check out a Strandberg.
Not angry. I keep hearing that the strat neck is just like the affinity strat necks. Along with other faults. Coming from Phil McNight, that says a lot.
The big brands have been getting increasingly more cocky with time. There is only so much you can improve until modern manufacturing can catch up and cut the price, yet the "good" guitars from big names aren't getting cheaper.
The way to go now is to buy the "secondary" brands like Squier or even cut yourself off from that completely and buy something like a Harley Benton and just upgrade the parts you want in the future, get new pickups, upgrade the pots etc. People like Leo Fender gave us our beloved electric guitars, but these days companies like Fender are exploiting their name to reap profits for guitars that can be easily made a lot cheaper with modern manufacturing. And their budget options are not even hiding the fact they are spitting in our faces.
I bought the butterscotch blonde Squier CV tele in '18 when they were $320 new. It came with tonerider pickups that sounded awesome and it weighed just under 9lbs. At that price they were unbeatable.
If I wanted to buy another tele I would get a Squier afinity and replace the neck (I prefer 20inch radius) and the pickups with toneriders.
"Who's got the best post in Indonesia?"
Well, it ain't Schappelle.
Well, if the Quality Control wasn't already lacking (with one YTuber already reporting a very badly cut nut) maybe even Fender fanboys like myself would not be disgusted at the $600 dollar price tag. I mean, PRS makes truly Fine Quality instruments in Indonesia with their fine SE series and for not much more of an asking price. Even Fender's overpriced Player series models, and beyond THAT even, aren't consistently up to par in QC reliability.
@@squirelova1815 Yamaha Revstars are made in Indonesia and are an insane value. Still more than the new Fender Standard, although I’ve heard good things about the low end Element versions as well. But yes plenty of quality guitars coming from Indonesia
@@SSquirrel1976 Aha! Yes, I forgot to mention the GREAT Yamaha brand that like PRS is worth every penny in the middle priced ranges. Another fine option could be the EVH Wolfgang Standards as well I judging by my Wolfgang Special that is of outstanding Quality. Made in Indonesia can be very, very good but of course that depends on the Manufacturer factory and the particular Factory crew that made the guitar on any particular day.
Dude we both know it’s not a real Fender if it’s not made in Indonesia. 💪😎🎸
WHAT? A freaking PCB switch on the "Fender" and it's a simple Telecaster 3-way circuit at that?! While the Classic Vibe has the "Proper" switch INSTEAD? This is truly AMAZING because I've seen, on video, that the new "Standard" Stratocasters have the "Proper" switches in them! Am I in the Fender Guitars Twilight Zone?
With a price difference of about USD170 between them, I would choose the Squier. I prefer the overall look, and it has better pickups.
Or just save enough for a Mexican Fender. You'll never be disappointed.
Weather? Cloudy and 17° F / -8° C. Pretty standard for Nebraska at this time of year.
I've played a Squier CV Jaguar and an American Jaguar one after the other, the only difference I felt were that the Fender's switches are a bit smoother
Yeah, that's about right. Pickups are a little different, but then, pickups are a little different in the same model of guitars (slightly).
@jezmez68 I honestly didn't notice much difference despite them being different models, I think their construction (with the claw and stuff) makes for a really close reproduction :)
I think the wood in both guitars is poplar.
I've tried out classic vibes both the telecaster and the stratecaster and they are great guitars not just for the money but great overall. I am going to try the made in Indonesia Fender as soon as they arrive where I live so I can form my own opinion. Great video as always very fair and fun to watch, thanks for not fast forwarding through the boring parts😊
i got a squier tele sonic, and i’ve had minor issues but it’s all action issues and things that can be repaired on a tune up
Yall realize that whether you like it or not, even if people don’t buy the Standard series Fender will still use this to push more people to Classic Vibe or Player II. But I also think this is a great series for them to make personally
There's no doubt in my mind that the fender is the squire afinity with a not so decent fender decal,slippery stuff fender,the vibe out shines it ,if you have the afinity,compare the fender with it, interesting to see what we get
Just a quick question. Does leaving the procective plastic on affect the tone of the pickups?
It will eventually lead to one of the following issues:
Start bubbling and becoming unsightly.
The adhesive will dry out, making removal difficult and leaving residue.
Someone with OCD will notice you left the plastic on and feel compelled to remove it themselves.
Otherwise your call.
My Classic Vibe 60's guitars have all been better than advertised. Copper shielding and CTS pots were another $40. Squier for the Win.
I shielded my CV 50s Strat with aluminium foil from the kitchen: cost practically nothing. I also fitted full size CTS pots and a name brand switch (Oakley? Can't remember), but the original switch wasn't bad.
The squier CV looks like a MIM fender. The fender standard looks like a Glarry or a Lyx Pro t style
I have to say, that is the prettiest Fender standard I've seen so far. Other reviewers show them with multi colored bodies, etc. IMHO. If you want a Fender, on a tight budget, save, look on Reverb, and get a player. Nothing wrong with players. If you sound like s**t. Blame yourself. Don't blame your gear.
I want a classic vibe strat .
Do you have a screw loose?
I have a CV 60s thinline made in Indonesia and it has full size pots and a mechanical switch
So, are these both made by Cort?
yes
No sound? Wouldn t it be the real important thing to hear how they sound?
Why?
@@landonbailey Is the point of having a guitar to look at it? What makes a guitar good or not? Is it not how it sounds? If comparing the 2 what you showed is a complementary thing. Don t you think the most important thing is to hear how they sound like? I do. I understand what yo did, and that s fine, but not listening to how they sound makes it pointless. It s only my opinion, anyway...No worries. I did find this weird. Sorry man :)
@@gibson2623 did you watch the full video? I explain why
So the takeaway here is get a loaded CV body and Fender Standard neck on an auction site and put them together.
The comparison tells us peeling the film off the Squier is much louder. It has resonant acoustic tone film.
Came for the comparison, stayed for the close-mic plastic reveal.
Cool video. Classic Vibe neck looks awesome.
List prices for CV just went up $30 CDN in the last 2 days. Glad I bought my Jag, Tele, Thinline, Starcaster and JM before this increase. So far they haven't increased the Standard from the 859 CDN. Even though the CV price went up, the only possible reason I would consider a standard would be if I really wanted that Nashville routing of the body, or the HSH that they have in the strat body. Will wait and see if the Standard goes on sale for the holidays, maybe if they were only $75 more than a CV rather than 240 it might be an OK compromise. Looks like this year I'd be better off saving for a Godin made in Canada.
I recently got a CV Tele. I started at the store with a MIM. The satin finish on the neck is nice. But I really never feel like my hand sticks on the gloss finish. Beyond that both guitars are similar. Low end parts, tuners, pickup, bridge. But they both sound good. So if you are set on a satin neck get the MIM (again I go the CV). Why would you pay extra for the Standard is beyond me.
What's your favorite sub $300 guitar?
I will be more proud using SQUIRE CV than having a $500 Fender tag, Squire feels more premium for its price
I just bought a used one made in USA from a dude named Cheeto. 275 made in the USA.
From Leo: The Alpha brand parts are bigger, but they are not really better. A bag of them retails for maybe $1.70 each. The small pots are maybe 9 cents less. The Higher grade of Bourns or CTS pots would be a couple bucks more,. I would think for $200 more the fender would use the premium parts. Pick them up, play them and buy what makes you happy. I just do not see the value added for the higher price. If they both had a Fender decal, which would you buy?
Having the better switch is probably a better upgrade, plus the Alnico pickups.
I'm on the east coast of Florida, it's 75 degrees in my area today,...
Fahrenheit of course.
This has long been a bugbear of mine. Guitar folk use size, as a guage of pot quality, you can get evry good mini-pots and very good full-size pots. What determines thier quality is thier quality, not thier size. It's true that a lot of cheap manufacturers have used low quality mini-pots and I guess that's where this idea comes from. It's still annoying.
Those guitars hanging in the background are SWEET.
But the CV Squire and put a Fender decal on it and enjoy the savings for a better guitar
Wait: is the body on the Classic vVibe 50 way bigger!?
Have they finally got the width correct?
Classic Vibes Tele is clearly the better value. Fender Tele is meager spec wise for the price, in my opinion.
People get emotional about their gear. That emotional attachment is why fender sells so many guitars. When you think.a company that you like is trying to screw you, you get angry. I'm not angry, but I'm not impressed with the specs of the new fender. I like the classic vibes and I really like the Vintera series. The American and players are pretty great also..Just because I'm not impressed with the new specs, I'm not saying its a bad guitar. Just not my.jam.
I think they’re both built at the Samick factory.
I think that the issues with the guitar community and the Chinese Fender Standard guitars would be cured by a price point adjustment right now or intermittently throughout the year during normal "blowout" sales periods (ie January MAP exclusion period, Black Friday, Back to School sales, etc). Seems like Fender missed the "Value Proposition," where a buyer has to ask himself is it worth it while comparing the guitar to other options, by fifty-ish bucks? To the best of my ability to ascertain; the Standard has a dumpy PCbus knife switch and it is either a three of a four piece body. With respect to the wood, keep in mind these are painted guitars and that the tonewood argument is simply bullshit, so who cares as long as it isnt particleboard? Regarding the switch; i think the target demographic wont notice the tactile feel or actually play the guitar so much that they wear out the switch..because these are likely first time buyers and new players who just want in the door with a basic flagship-branded Fender guitar. I do think the switch is a legit-ish gripe, but missing the pricepoint was the real rage inducing mistake that has really bit Fender squarely in the asshole.
Fender Corporate doesnt run their pre-production roll outs with me (shocker) so the whole Fender Standard introduction caught me by surprise. I would have expected them to follow suit with PRS and make overseas guitars of high quality and low price that come suuuper close to the American made units in spec. They clearly missed the bus by an RCH or two (depending on hair length and thickness), but boy howdy talk about pissing everyone off. Unrelatedly, im not even certain Fender can pivot off this with a price reduction if our moron president slaps tariffs on import guitars. The same moron who just got rich(er) selling Chibsons with his face on them, mind you.
Fender by Squire
How do the G&L Legacy ASATs made in Indonesia compare to the Fender Standards?
My Chinese CV-50's Squier Tele has full-sized pots. And it has the same wider (and annoying to me) gap between the pickguard and the bridge plate as the Indo reviewed here.
I don't understand you Westerners on why are you removing the plastic covers right after you buy your things
When I take the plastic off, I keep the PG on, so there little pieces of plastic sticking up from the screws.
How hard would it be to make these fender standards in mexico?
The point was they wanted to introduce a model with the Fender name but a lower price point than the MIM range.
@FlameFlickers true. But they neutered the guitar too much in terms of specs. If they wanted to save cost by manufacturing overseas, at least give us fender specs and not squier specs. The classic vibe has better specs.
@@oneanother1 I completely agree, I was just giving you their official reason for launching this Made in Indonesia range.
I think it's overpriced for what it is. MIM Fenders have way better specs.
Do this mean my MIM Player Series Telecaster goes up in value now?
You wasted my precious time. I will unsubscribe.
Your time is precious but here you are watching random videos on TH-cam. Yeah, sure.
Love it! "Like, I mean, you can eat a guitar if you need to". F@ukin' Eh!
Sure you measure 'food' with it! ;o)
'Squier Australia', model prob made for Australasian market Landon! Don't forget Indonesia is our closest northern neighbour, besides PNG!
Video nesting. Now, sometime, you gotta put together some clips of this video and some other video, and do a little side shot of you commenting on them. Then, it's a video within a video within a video. You could just keep doing that if you want, except the original video would get smaller and smaller in the background, so make sure you shoot in 4k.
HOW'S the weather? HOT!
Had a 4 day heatwave of ~40 deg temps & 80% humidty!
Just broke this afternoon!
Damn that was sticky!
Eh!
Third! Must say i like this shooting format for a comparison.
One is a Squier, the other is an overpriced Squier with a Fender decal. They could rename it a Squender and spit the difference!
I believe there was American Standard til the 90s, and then Mexican Standard before the newer Player, Performer, Professional series. I enjoy Standard being non-standard
The American Standard lasted until it was replaced by the American Professional range in 2017.
I see no pressing personal need for the new Standard Tele. Maybe, I'd wait to get one when they become discontinued at half price. They don't sound too bad with aggressive Gain applied.. I recently bought a brand new boxed Player 1 Butterscotch Tele from an online reduced price clear out sale. That's the best option right now. But it won't last much longer. Or consider to wait and get one used. The body on my new Player 1 shows no noticeable joins between sections of wood. I can't tell how many parts it is constructed from. I looked at Player 2s on an infrequent visit to a big city guitar shop and was unimpressed by the 'superior' rolled fingerboard edges. In fact they put me off. They looked a little to crudely shaved off. Less room for the E strings. Though, I'd still want one with a rosewood fingerboard eventually when prices drop in a big online shop reduced price sale, but think there might be too much risk buying one mail order sight unseen ???
Just picked up a 1986 MIJ Tele. Throw that into the mix.
Internet lot so offended they get the spelling wrong😂😂😂 It'sSqui-ER 😂
ClassicoStandard is clearly the way to go....
I thought your review on the standard was very fair.
I think it's worth mentioning (I know I've said it at least once), the old MIM Standard spec was ceramic pickups & 21 frets, so I feel like the REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE about the new MII Standard is about people not remembering what we used to get for the money, back before Player reset people's expectations. But then Player got a LOT more expensive.
is it me or is the finish on the squier alot nicer looking. more transparent, probably to cover up the shitty 4 piece bodies on the fender standard
I hate the look of these so I’m glad you advised me to look away. I’m j/k of course. I don’t have an opinion nor do I want to have one.
Have a good day
