Always loved the way the humbuckers look on this guitar, somethin about the more rectangular shape combined with the cream finish and more bulky look always stands out to me. Makes me wonder what they would look/sound like in a jaguar
Nice review man, I had one in the 70's cheap and not bad 'cept for the thinass neck pocket, sadly it was destroyed 😢 then comes Cobain and ⚡ instant 'collectable'. Fast forward to 2005, I taking out the trash and what do I spy with my wanderin' eye ? A natural phase 3 in the TRASH!🤯 mine,mine, MINE!🤣 roller bridge fell apart and missing vibrato arm but otherwise complete and original and in need of some TLC.🤔 As I'll never sell it... I'll give it the 'treatment' like my '00 Indonesia Squier bullet. I'm a packrat when it comes to my tars.😉
It's definitely a favorite of mine, I haven't put it down ever since I've got it. Phase 4s are awesome, I'd love to have one someday. Natural Hi Fliers always remind me of yours
Hey, totally unrelated to the video, but in your opinion should I keep saving for a classic vibe, or should I get a bullet mustang for playing hard rock, or "grunge"
Thanks! In my opinion, the Bullet HH would be the better choice, as the pickups deliver a heavier sound than the single coils you find on the Classic Vibe. For the sound you're looking for, a Classic Vibe could work, but you'd need to do some mods (TOM bridge, humbucker pickups, trem lock) which would just add to the cost. A stock Squier Bullet HH should be good to go right as you get it. I've owned a Squier Bullet HH myself.
@@jq.guitars I see. I was curious because sometimes they were just oversized hot single coils, not actually p90s. I don't know if I made myself clear XD
@@jq.guitars I mean, not in these guitars but it is the case in other vintage models. The 60's were a crazy decade, with brands like Teisco and Hagstrom who made weird things. If you find something interesting I would love to know.
The Univox is much smaller and lighter, the stock pickups are awesome. The bridge isn't as sturdy, so you might want to replace it for a TOM. Univox has a 3 way selector, no additional switching options. The Jag-Stang is much thicker, average weight for a guitar. Stock pickups are kinda weak. Bridges work fine, though a TOM upgrade could definitely help playability. Jag-Stang has one switch for each pickup. On/Off/On. If the switches are in different on positions, you get out of phase. If they're in the same spot, you get i series. I personally think overall, the Jag-Stang is a higher quality instrument, but the Univox is a great sounding guitar without any mods done
£300 is roughly $415, so I'd say $650 (what I paid) is a good deal, considering this one has a refret (costs another $300), and the current market on these things is around $800-900. This one also came with Kluson tuners, and I hear the stock ones aren't that great.
@@jq.guitars Yeah I know I'm joking, the tuners on mine came bent. Allparts used to sell a set of kluson tuners which were originally used on mosrites so I put those on when I got it & they're still perfect. Love front loading tuners

I bought one of these in Guitar Centers used section for $400 like 10 years ago. Same model, just all white.
Awesome. I love Hi Fliers in white, I hope to buy one eventually. Nice score!
@@jq.guitars For sure, even back then $400 was cheap for one of these. I’d like to get one of the Eastwood replicas eventually as well.

I really need one dude
Sounds great
Thanks man!

You too!
nice
I like this humbucker's sound
Where did you buy all those Mustangs (if on one site) I'm curious
Different places. One I got from a local store, one I got from Reverb. I check online places like Reverb and eBay often.
@@jq.guitars ok thank you
Because in Italy there aren't many, I just found a Mustang player 90
what do you think about it? Is the Mustang player 90 good?
@@samuelerossi926 I've never played one before. From what I've seen, they seem like good and affordable guitars.
The "p90" models where actually p90 loaded? I like them a lot too
Yeah, the P90 ones were made from 1967-1974. And humbucker models were from 1974-1977
@@jq.guitars I see. I was curious because sometimes they were just oversized hot single coils, not actually p90s. I don't know if I made myself clear XD
I'm actually not sure what they are, I've heard that they were p90s, but they could very much be oversized single coils. I'll have to do some research
@@jq.guitars I mean, not in these guitars but it is the case in other vintage models. The 60's were a crazy decade, with brands like Teisco and Hagstrom who made weird things. If you find something interesting I would love to know.
Apparently these are indeed P90s. My friend has a Phase 2. I haven't heard it so far, but from what he's told me, they have that P90 sound
In school you sound just EXACTLY like fecal matter

Thanks!

OMG YOU Are thé best
Oh, And a last questions what Are the pedal settings Please? because i have the "DOD grunge" pedal
@@rudomcrudolph9402 I'm using a DS1 here, which might sound a bit different to a DOD Grunge.
Distortion Max
Level Max
Tone at 11
@@jq.guitars thanks!
Im buying a mosrite avenger soon, what pickups would be recommended for the bridge, its already been modded to fit a humbucker
Maybe a Seymour Duncan JB
@@jq.guitars that was my first thought, maybe a 59'
bro what pedals are you using they sound fucking awesome
What amp do you use for your distorted tone on serve the servants?
Same amp I've been using throughout my channel. These Univox pickups just get that tone perfectly
For that song, I used a SansAmp Classic, my Behringer U-Phoria UM2 and Cakewalk to simulate a Fender Clean amp
@@jq.guitarsi love the sansamp
Bro where did you get it?
How does this stack up against the Jagstang?
The Univox is much smaller and lighter, the stock pickups are awesome. The bridge isn't as sturdy, so you might want to replace it for a TOM. Univox has a 3 way selector, no additional switching options.
The Jag-Stang is much thicker, average weight for a guitar. Stock pickups are kinda weak. Bridges work fine, though a TOM upgrade could definitely help playability.

what is your height?
Weezer cover was pretty the same!!
Thanks!
nvm lol

your playing school wrong no offense
