Thanks Dave. I am about to do a Strat set-up and the trem block is great info. I am happy you showed the correct order to do the claw screw adjustment . Thanks again.
Hi Davey, Hope you and yours are staying safe in Canadia land. Thank you for these videos through this time, all through 2020 it was a welcome relief to watch these videos. I have a Squier short scale bass that cost pennies and quite frankly, I love playing it above the MIJ Fender Precision. You can find some real gems amongst them. Stay safe, keep warm and rock on. Thanx!
seeing you upload made my morning. coffee and a video to start my day, not bad. side note: i had that exact squire. it’s the classic vibe series which is higher end than regular squires. played every bit as good as my mexican strat
I feel like I've apprenticed under Dave over the years hah. I've learned a lot here and one thing's for sure, all my guitars are set up mint by me now. I didn't realize how bad some of mine were until I started really paying attention.
Same here. Been a "Student" of Daves for 5 yrs. I bought all the tools, dropped my guitar tech, and have saved a couple of thousand dollars in labor. I have many electrics. Besides mods I just put neck shims in 6 electrics. All play like Buttah now ✌
@@davidkastin4240right on! Well It was a crappy guitar tech that didn't glue and secure the nut on the brand new $1500 guitar I just purchased from their shop. "It comes with a free set up" the salesman told me haha. After that, I vowed to do my own repairs and setups, and that's how I found this channel. I'm sure many others have similar stories.
A good tech is worth the money but will also teach you what you want to know if you're so inclined. I learned to set up my guitars hanging out with a guy in town and it's a very useful skill for several reasons!
I like that guitar color, I bought a black squire strat 2020 here in North ga. Surprised how smooth it played, and didn't sound too bad, I think the pick ups need raising some, neck was dark color, tuners seem good now but probably need some high quality ones later, no Fret edge sticky edges , neck was like new and smooth on the back, had the skunk stripe, I havnt adjusted the tremelo, it was locked flat, might just leave it that way but I do like a little whammy, it's the Indonesia made at cort. Man I'm amazed at how well I like it. Been playing over 50 years, just started back. Thanks for the tips, really helped. Subscribed.
We’re all metric in the UK, Dave. The timber yard doesn’t sell 3” x 2” batons anymore, it’s 75mm x 50mm. It comes in 6, 8 & 12 foot lengths. 😂😂😂 Oh, and it’s 14 miles away. 🤔
Thanks Dave. Used your video to fix up a ‘99 Indo Squire Strat I got at a yard sale for $15. Not saying it sounds as nice as some other more expensive instruments, but amazing what a neck/intonation adjustment can do. Thanks again.
Dave you should always check with the owner if they use the middle pickup. Every person i've known who own a strat never use the middle pickup and screw it all the down out of the way.
@@kenthhamner2641 I cannot understand why that players take sounds OUT of a guitar I mod my strat types to give as many tonal possibilities as possible , the standard 5 way switch only gives a fraction of the tones available the Gilmour mod is my favourite neck and bridge together.
My Player Strat trem is decked like I like it to be but the spring claw is tightened only enough that the bridge doesn't rise at all when bending strings! Very stable tuning.
@@brucemacmahon5603 Yeah true, I love anything made in Japan because of the superior quality, but do you see how much MIJ squires are going for these days? The Indonesia squires aren't far behind for the price.
I had a Squier Tele Indo that I bought on sale from Sam Ashe for $165.00 I kept it 2 years and sold it for $200. Maybe the only guitar I ever actually made money on.
Beautiful Strat. Possibly a CV 70's. General rule; Strats usually come with 9 gauge strings so that's what is recommended when replacing them. 8 gauge 😳😣 aye carumba.
Stevie Ray Vaughan uses 13s on his Strat I like the nines on my Strat I also liked the tens on my Les Paul I didn't like the thirteens on my acoustic but I do like the elevens on my acoustic so chances are if I put 13 on a strat I wouldn't like it
Vintage Modified 70s Strat....those are great guitars for the money. I had two of them but once I got a Fender Players Series Strat HSS, never played them anymore so traded them for a Martin DRS1 with hard case.
@@malcolmhardwick4258 Never knew they had a 70s CV. That is great as it would have a C neck instead of modern C. I had a CV Strat a few years back and actually sent Fender an email stating if they had an option for a C neck on them, I would buy many. Great guitars and record beautiful.
@MRGRUMPY53 Thank you. I will definitely check those out. I recently got a used 2018 Fender Players Series HSS for 500 with case and unbelievable guitar. It would take a special CV to top that but love the wood grain colour of that guitar here.
Hey Dave, I know you really hate rickenbacker bass guitar tail piece's but I was looking on the Ric factory site and saw a 4003v2 tail piece, looks like they updated it a bit. Take a look when you get the chance. It does look different.
Poplar I expect. The figuring is pretty random - and Fender USA would still be using poplar if we hadn't caught them in the act, ie. slapping an alder veneer on these cheaply-produced poplar bodies.
lol.. The pan of Dave! Nice looking squire. Then again i like the wood anyway.. Dave I had the China19 a month ago.. Nothing more than a spot of fever one night, a lil bit of fatigue for a few days, Followed by a small head cold.. All is fine now..Hopefully the house arrest ends soon brutha! My Se had some of the trem issue as well.. I had it blocked for some time, finally replaced the grub screws, took your advice on setting it and its complied.. Looking for a shorty block for it for some better sustain, Stainless block saddles as well.. Gd 2/16 import spec messy... No interest in ordering from asian John either (China). Lol.. Make that Squire heal! Tight wires sir!
Ahh these 3-piece bodies are Poplar, this is an inexpensive material that I guess looks less ugly than basswood in a trans finish. Probably has a thick reacted polyurethane finish protecting it. Some Asian guitars do still use basswood under a sunburst finish, if they can disguise the greenish look of it with some color. Into the 60's Fender had an opaque yellow in the sunburst finished guitars, these make for some pretty utilitarian-looking guitars and I assume Fender were hiding multi-pieces alder bodies this way as these are often small trees. The PRS Silver Sky does the same thing. Linden and basswood are the same tree family but there are many varieties of this tree - some provide a soft, muddy-sounding wood, and some a very good firm wood with similar properties to good alder (as used by Suhr and high-end Ibanez.)
I have a Squier tele with a skinny neck that I absolutely love. Tried a couple of squier strats and the neck just felt too thin, didn't like it at all, weird.
On the opposite, my Squier vintage Vibe 70's Strat has got a wonderful and truly chunky neck. A one-piece maple fingerboard baseball bat, with 9.5" radius and a big post-1965 headstock like the one on this video. I love that neck.
Dave, what setting (feeler guage) did you use for relief? Do you always use the same one? I wish you would tell us this stuff in all your vids. Thanks.
The squier classic vibe P Bass I got had the truss rod so the torqued down and there is still too much relief and I've also seen these new squier classic vibe 70's with broken truss rod on eBay and other places. Maybe it's a bad design it bad manufacturing process ?? But it's a problem with the new ones.
@@frankcarter6427 Sorry to hear that. A friend of mine died 3 months ago in a truck accident and because he tested positive for covid ( the PCR test that they use that is highly unreliable and gives up to 80% false positives) they marked it as a Covid death.

Well Dave i just saw a squire strategy with a hummbucker in the bridge I looked down the neck and it was bowed in the middle .they was only asking a 100 dollars for it but the crafted in Indonesia scared me away but now I wish I would have gotten it its probably better than China now days who cares you can't find anything half way decent
