How to wreck a perfectly good guitar! Don't try this at home unless you want a fucked up looking guitar!
Lots of people love tucked up looking guitars.
It looks great
You're crazy, this is all class.
LOVE love love the tones you're getting from this guitar... but boy is it fugly!
(think I'll make one too.)
I personally like the new look better 😌
Editing Ryan was going nuts with the time lapse music at around 27:00, truly an avantgarde masterpiece!
I thought I was going to spasm for a minute there :-D
I thought I was having a stroke between 26:00 and 28:00. WTF.
S t r o k e
8D music
Nice tunes tho, great mix
I love how Ryan's beard is like 2 inches longer at the end of the video! This project took some time!
These modding vids are by far my favorite thing you do here (besides all the surfy stuff of course).
They take a ton of time and work to pull off, I wish could do them more often though.
Tuning stability tips - strings go sharp, nut slots need to be wider. Strings go flat, try using your thumb and pressing down fairly hard a half inch or so in front of the saddle to seat the ball ends. Strings a mix of flat and sharp usually means the trem anchor screws are not set properly. To fix this you need a feeler gauge set. Take the strings off, back of the spring tension to where you can operate the trem easily, raise all screws up, make sure base plate is flush against body take your .010" (0.25 mm) feeler gauge and place it on top of base plate in front of screws and lower screws until each one kisses the feeler gauge. Once that is done, check the screw head heights for evenness with a fret rocker or a straight edge. Now the trem should operate smoothly without catching or walking up/down the screws. From there restring, setup, cross ur fingers & good luck. Thx for all the great content.
It stays in tune just fine for me. I only use the E and A string-trees. I don't use the D or G ones though. Seems to work a treat.
its the string trees, don't use them and its fine. they're on the E and A strongs which are wound and grab
This is why I love your channel Ryan. I get entertained, satisfy my guitar nerdiness and some inspiration AND... You have no snobbishness around budget and cheaper gear. Which, in the real world is what many of us can only afford. You show what's possible and always show a genuine positive enthusiasm for everything guitar. Keep up the good work.
Amazing job, Ryan! I'd love to have a guitar with that finish! 👍👍 Make sure you use a respirator any time you use a catalyzed aerosol like primer or clearcoat. They can get into your lungs and harden, which is the worst of the worst. I almost died from it, TBH. Because no one told me. So, I sprayed primer and clear with no respirator when I was doing automotive refinishing and it almost killed me.
I had surgery on my lung and the surgeon had to go in and try to clean that, crap out of my lung. He said it was like cleaning play-d'oh out of carpet. That, was after they drained over 2 liters of fluid out of my chest. It was so much that it was crushing my heart to half its normal size so that my BPM at rest was 100+ no matter what. It was beating twice as fast to keep up with the amount of blood it needed to pump. The doc said I literally could've died at any time.
Use a 3M respirator with the proper filters. Don't take a chance. Not even once.
That is the best looking relic job I've seen honestly and I hate relic jobs but yours looks like a boat that's been in dry dock for 50 years....impressive...that's a relic job I could appreciate! Well done!
I don't consider it a relic, its more of a 'stylized' finish
Oh, and dang, that wiring harness brought SO much life to those dead pickups. I'm glad you put the stock pickups back in there so you and we could hear what a different that wiring harness made!
Men, you use the best stock music. I have to re-watch your "looks like pancakes" classic video.
Great job on the guitar, Ryan! I love how unpretentious you are, and how much love you give to budget equipment.
Love how this turned out, that wiring setup is awesome. Especially love that 4th position sound!
Just found your channel last week, and I have been enjoying all the videos I have watched. Love the stream of consciousness/thinking aloud approach instead of something heavily scripted. Keep up the cool content, and hello from Escondido!
Great outro, man! You really had something going there. Thanks a lot for that. To be fair, tuning issues aside, I was a big fan of the stock SuperSonic. Even liked the colour. Great look, great sound, and the pickups were screamers! I really thought of the original as an unruly rock machine and I kept on thinking about it after you debuted it. Now it's _still_ an unruly rock machine but now it's one of a kind and that uniqueness was in the outro. Time and effort well spent, Ryan. Good on ya!
My favorite finish you have done so far! Really digging it!
I love that you just do these wild finishes and don't care about the "right" way to do it. It always turns out pretty cool, imo. Love the wiring, too.
Hey Ryan, love that worn Orangey finish! Awesome build dude.
I know you’ve been working on this for a while now, so excited this video is finally out!
Ryan, you crack me up. Love the honesty and self deprecating humor! Keep up the great work and playing!
This is the best looking thing I've ever seen. I think it's rediculously awesomely great looking and it sounds killer too.
This is why I love this channel. Not afraid to fess up you messed up and you just have fun with it all. I hate every other guitar channel
That time-lapse music fills me with joy every time
Amazing video, I was wondering about getting one of those and with all those mods you have made my mind :) Thanks again for this channel
I had a Scotty-dog growing-up named “Squire”, so I’ve always had a soft-spot for the brand.
I bought my first squire recently. It’s an offset Telecaster (surf green) and it needs some work, but I’m impressed with the quality of squires over the past few years. This one has a gorgeous neck & I’m looking forward to getting it up to my specs.
Man the purple and green looked killer! A burst starting with green and fading out into purple and then the black outer edge would look sweet.
That is your coolest refin-mod yet!! I would totally rock that quirky axe!!!
You should call this guitar the "Squyran"!!
Swap out those tuners with a set you know are solid to see if the stock tuners are defective. If it maintains tune, you know it's not the truss rod... but before you do that, shelf it for another five months 😉
Purple and green are my favourite colours. Loved the way that burst looked!
Hey Ryan!
Looking at the Squier after the first coats of your Ed “Big Daddy” Roth Kustom Kar Kolors, on this iPad, it was impossible to see any drips or runs in the paint you applied. It looked pretty cool in a You Tube picture. Personally, I thought the purple would have looked better on the front side. On take 2, it sorta looked like spray engine enamel! You should go to your local MoPar dealer and see if you can find a “HEMI” decal that will fit on the body somewhere!! And you CAN use the Gun Street pickups - just get a couple of the kind of pickup surrounds that Gretsch and/or Gibson use for their humbuckers. Too bad you let that beast sit around in pieces for so long. It sounds GREAT and you sure seem to be able to get a lot of different tones out it. The choice of series or parallel DOUBLES the sounds it’ll make!!! But why does it have a left-handed neck with an upside-down decal? The Glow-in-the-dark feature is the icing on the cake.
LOVE that finish!!!
this is the content I fell in love in this channel
Love how the music track gets completely messed up around the 26/27 minute mark as things get more chaotic and things go wrong
Great content man. I've been waiting to see what you'd do to that guitar for awhile! Looks great and sounds great, love squier!
Love the sound!
Wow! Looks and sounds so good!
Love the final product!
I modded my blue sparkle one similar to yours. I routed out the lower horn for the pickup selector (way better having it down there) and did a similar killswitch button as you. Locking tuners and a brass block later and it plays amazingly well. It will always be an oddball that I sunk money into without getting a return, but I love it.
Awesome orange wear finish, great!
Beautiful finish with that orange Ryan, very nice work! The pup options are ace now too. I’d look at putting in a graphite nut and perhaps locking tuners
Looks like you're using actual fluorescent paint there. Nice.
And I like using a fighting game button as your kill switch. If any kind of button should be able to handle abuse, and still be used as a hair-trigger, a high quality arcade button should do it.
Dude legit that guitar looks so absolutely sick and is like a dream guitar. Always wanted an Orange Super Sonic.
that was truly amazing, well done
Nice work shop & awesome color.
This is my second time watching this video 🤣 You have the best guitar channel hands down.
Odding is a labor of love. Nice job!!! The kill switch should be standard in all modern instruments. I love mine.
Again, good job, buddy. Nice tune at the end.
Way to turn a bad idea into a great one! The end result is such a cool guitar... great job!
Reminds me of a sandblasted guitar, and I love orange! Looking great
I think the new finish is gorgeous. I knew it would look good in an Orange color.
Love the racing stripe idea!
Loved this Ryan. The guitar looks and sounds great, love the wiring harness - so cool. Wonder why you didn’t just take a dremel to the pickguard to accomodate the new pickups? The tuning issue is a weird one.
Nice colors. We're on the same wavelength. I just got samples for my home studio remodel paint job and I was also going for The Hulk green and purple.
Cool stuff. I look forward to hearing your comments on the rotary switch and tones after you've played the guitar for a while (like, 3 years from now: Squier Super Sonic Re-Revisited!).
The ending jam was killer. You are a better guitarist than you give yourself credit for.
I have good days and bad days
I really like this video :) Friday fun time!
This reminds me that my guess for the Supersonic tuning problem always revolves around the thinner neck with the appropriately smaller nut and the way it was cut. My SS is hanging pretty on the wall, un-played. Perhaps I need to get on it.
26:36 with the background loop going 3 times is a trip. Great build!
Ryan! That purple burst on the back is sick as hell! I love that coloring! I may have to do that to a guitar now. I wonder how it would look on my SG Special... 🤔
What a beautiful beard... I mean guitar
Also this guitar would look sick as hell with a black pickguard. Orange and black are the best
I really liked that purple! As for stripping paint, I've used Citristrip to get paint off of guitar bodies VERY easily, with great results.
@@prodbyjuneg I'm not really sure what type of finish it was, since it was a used body from ebay. I just followed the instructions, and it got EVERYTHING off, and took it to bare wood using only a credit card to scrape off the finish.
Im old enough to remember when Squire was widely known as the, "student" tier of electric guitars and have always had a positive opinion of every one Ive come into contact with.
Hahahha, I love how unhinged the multiple layers of bg music get
Looks pretty rad, specially under black light!
You got mad skills in concept
Purple burst looks great. Green needed more burst. When spraying candies silver ,bronze gold metallics work great for base coat.
Love the color dude! I got two Super-sonics. A black Vista series and the orange sparkle pawnshop series one. There awesome guitars for what they are. Been thinking of getting one of the paranormal series to add, but been more of a strat and lp jr player these last few years.
Great playing at the end !!!
19:25 Looks like a Novo guitar body finish. Rhett Shull would love it!
This was great! I've got a Super-Sonic I had switched over to left-handed; I like it overall, but I hadn't been thrilled with the pickups, since they're very hot for clean tones, but the sounds you're getting with the coil split are exactly what I'm looking for. Just emailed Gunstreet about getting the same harness; turns out they're close to me in Portland!
What did you find out?
@@jeremymenson Oh geez I never provided an update! I reached out right after I posted that, and Gun Street knew exactly the harness I was talking about. Took about two weeks to get it, and installing it was a fairly straightforward soldering job even though I haven't wired a guitar in decades. The soldering job is super ugly, but it makes noise.
Better than that even - the split, series, and tone circuit options turn these somewhat middling albeit very hot pickups into absolute tone beasts.
I also moved the jack input to the side of the guitar with a football plate, to get it out of the way when I'm palm muting, and aside from the ever-present tuning issues on this model, I'm happy with it. I might try to fill in the trem hole and install either a hardtail or a left handed Bisgby, as a right handed Strat style trem is almost unusable for a lefty.
Love the Buckethead kill switch!!!
TUSQ nut, locking tuners and a solid bridge should fix that tuning stability.
Great fun vid mate🇦🇺🤙🤙🏄💯
I hooked up my Strat to have 26 combos or single settings. Overkill, I used 3 mostly, w 2 occasionally, and 1 every so often. So 10 is probably plenty. ... There is a setting thats not offered commercially thats totally killer : ground a pickup then have it go in series thru the other 2 pickups that are in parallel w each other. Best of both worlds. Full , not thin sound like series, w parallel sparkle and jangle. Strong output volume as well.
That yellow sanding sealer under the finish on recent Squiers is brutal. It's some sort of polyester, hard as hell, heat-resistant, and clogs most abrasives like crazy. Mirka Abranet mesh sanding sheets and discs are the answer. Gives you a nice, controllable cut, so you don't dig into the wood underneath and mess up the body contours!
This is an inspiration to me. I have a very cool squire strat that is my favorite to play and it needs paint badly. I bought it from a guy off Craigslist. I’m going to buy that kandy paint
Loved the green and purple bursts
yeah they had a really cool look, The green reminded me of some old 60s department store guitars.
Now the guitar matches your skull. 😂🤣😂😂👍🏼 I like it.
Lol
I'm a fan of the "brushed" neon orange finish!
The orange works so good on the final article! Squier should do competition orange on this as a FSR
Sweet! I have that same Craftsman Nextec drill. I got it around 2009. It came with 2 batteries and the 2nd one is almost dead so I finally found a decently priced aftermarket battery and now it spins faster than ever! 🤣
mine is close to its last legs, I think my father in law gave it to me back in like 2010ish? the batteries still go but not as long as they used to. It really shows its age when I try to drill a screw into anything hard.
@@60CycleHumcast order a new, generic battery. It'll be good as new! Mine was the same way. With the new battery, it's faster than it ever was before lol. I love mine. I use the D'addario string winder adapter in mine and it works perfect for winding tuners since it's so small.
Before I found the batteries, I noticed that there are a bunch of drills out now that are designed just like it with the 2 speed control on top, etc...so if they didn't have batteries, it was easily replaced by a another drill almost exactly like it. Most even use a similarly shaped battery with different charge lug locations.
Sounds great, meanwile
The orange over the white looks great (relic'd).... And you will never worry about dinging it. I have unfinished guitar projects over a year old, so don't feel bad. Enjoy!!
One little trick you may wish to try with your tuning stability on this guitar, I noticed that you have the saddles set up in their standard position for a right handed neck set up. Try reverse order because (you have a flipped neck) so for example note that the tuning post on the neck for the bass E is now further away, so bring the saddle out as you would for the High E on a normal strat. Hope this makes scence but yeah in a nutshell just reverse the order of the saddles.
A wet sand with some 800 grit to 1000 grit and all that over spray can be blended perfectly. I think it looked great!
The back of the experiment was nice!
There’s something magic about the strat style where when you balance the back springs (via tightening and loosing with a screw driver) the strings always stay in tune! Just make sure your g string goes up a 3rd (minor or major is up to your own taste) after that you shouldn’t have any issues
💯💯💯💯💯🤯🤯🤯🤯The purple side turned out real slick after you would have water sanded it and then cleared it it would look real good I've seen professionals do a worse job than the purple side but you are so cool for doing this it shows that nobody needs to be perfect we're just human beings I love your content Ryan sometimes it's your videos that shows me that people still can be human beings.....💯💯💯💯🤯🤯🤯
When I was 4 years old, I was asked to stop coming to my sister's orchestra recitals becasue I sprinted out of the room when the violins started shouting 'STOP THE NOISE!'
I got the same feeling when multiple instances of the time lapse music started playing out of time 😅
Personally loooove the look of the new finish.
Is the nut cut correctly? Especially for 11-49 they might be a little slim for the strings since it came with 9s from factory?
Hey Ryan. On the new bridge you got off Amazon. How is when changing strings ? I have 2021 blue sparkle squire super sonic and when changing the strings the ball end of the string gets stuck in the stock squire bridge and takes me over an hour to change strings which sucks. How is changing strings on the new bridge you got off Amazon ? Also an fYI. I don’t have any issues with tuning stability on my at all. I use 10s on mine and I changed out the tunners and put some locking tunners in I got off Amazon could be the vintage style tuners you have might be defective or maybe give it a little more under bow to help with the tuning.
Would new tuners help with the stability issues? Fun video, I'm amazed at how much better those stock pickups sounded with that new wiring harness from Sean (Shaun/Shawn?).
I can see a fan paying you stooopid money for that guitar. 😉
I just got 1 of these guitars off of ebay. I like the finish but want to go w/ your other mods. For the wiring harness do I just ask for what they gave you on their site? Also, I tried your fix from the other video for issue where it goes out of tune, the 6th string popped out of the nut during playing. Do I need to swap the nut or make it deeper?
kind of reminds me of the orange Ibanez Yvette Young signature. love this upgrade
That paint technique would look cool in barn red. Would make any guitar look like you made it from barn wood.
Or something...
Well that's strange. I like it. Totally didn't expect that.
So the question I have is, if you don’t use the trem bar at all and just strap some heavier strings on will it still go out of tune often? Most of the cons I see on tuning are from using the wiggle stick. Really looking at getting one and just want to see what mods I actually have to do if I’m not going to use the whammy at all.
Man, I wish I had a push-pull pot, variable selector switch AND a kill switch! How cool is that??? Very cool. Very very cool.
TIP: clean out the lube gunk and then polish the nut and saddle slots with folded over wet/dry sand paper. Amazon has a 6 sheet variety pack from 1000 to 2500 grit for $4. Don’t push too hard, just “polish” the sides and bottom of each slot. Then add dry graphite for “lube.” Works perfect on my 60’s vibe Squire Strat. Even with rather deep dives, no tuning issues.
OTHER TIPS, fewer wraps is better on tuning pegs. I use two on wound strings and 3 on the high strings. I also set my trem bridge to be just shy of floating. It definitely hits the body and stays there when I bend strings, but only requires minimal pressure to dive.
What do I think? Well, I concur Ryan - the overall results after taking all the negatives into consideration, is that the guitar STILL looks supercool (from a distance, of course, lol). Anyway, the more important thing is that this was more inspiring than 97% of other videos. well done fun
Matches your hair dude, love it
Wow so sick
Great job. I'd give a purple burst another try. Sick guitar!
Yes! Another experiment on a guitar- looks great and guaranteed that it's the only one out there. Isn't that the point of mods ? Make it your own!!
Lol the music just getting more and more demented is pretty funny
it was a glitch in the export but yeah, im leaving it lol
