These two models are still dominating the market now.
The guitars are decent too.
Just ordered the 50s strat in red
lol
decent??????????
@@cmmnsenserules4339 Decent is an understatement
0:30 It's amazing what you can do with a voice, a guitar and a pair of flip-flops.
Revisiting a review of this era just now gave me such an immense fit of laughter and joy!
Priceless.🥰
Much love lads!
Cheers!
✌🤟🖖❤🔥
1. It's called an Ashtray bridge because it originally had a cover on it, but players used to take it off and use it as an Ashtray.
2. It sounds different because the magnetic qualities of the Pickup would react with the metal of the bridge, making it sound sharper.
***** number 2 is a load of bull with regards to Fender instruments. Leo Fender devised the ashtray bridges for his instruments to hide the "inner workings" of the instrument that he thought weren't as aesthetically-pleasing to players i.e. the saddles and pickups. the horse shoe-surround on Rickenbacker 4000 basses, and lap steels before it from the same period did in fact have an effect on the magnetic pull of the pickup and that's where this misinformation stems from.
IronOrePickaxe stop missinforming people
IronOrePickaxe It was originally designed to allow strumming without muting the strings with ones palm. Soon thereafter, everyone learned that palming was cool, and they needed an ashtray for the weed they were smoking. Problem solved.
Lester Nester In the 50s they smoked cigs not weed
@@phantomlord5707 I can attest via both my father and uncle that they weren't smoking just cigs in the 50s.
I dont get why they mainly focussed on high gain sounds, the guitar sounds great clean and mildly overdriven!
It's the sound of rock and roll brah
Stevjamusic, I understand your take on the video. For a more comprehensive review, more cleans would give you an idea if it were capable of your particular tone requirements. I watch their videos because I play at higher gain settings and I know I will be able to get an idea if a guitar or other piece of gear will satisfy my playing style. Like, I wouldn’t have guessed a classic style Tele could generate the gain tones they demonstrated. I now am actually considering this guitar.
Words right out of my mouth. It isn’t Them it’s Rob
Obviously a pedal. On the zeppelin cover it was correct. Jimmy Page played with a lot lot of gain.
a couple of dummies..................😝
I've wanted the tele for like 6 months, and seeing this review makes me want it even more
Brawler 620 I’m stuck between this and a G-400 SG Epiphone😬
Nick, I have both. There both g fantastic guitars! You NEED bother.
For anyone considering this guitar rest assured, it is well worth the money. The fascination with "American Made" Fenders is somewhat misplaced. As a former owner of a 64 Telecaster purchased in 1964 and sold in 2005 for almost 60 times it's original price, I went out a couple years back to replace it with a new Tele. I checked out a couple of American Standards(nice guitars) and then came across the Classic Vibe. It just felt familiar and I walked out of the store with it. I did change the bridge pickup to a SD hotrails, but that's it. I don't perform so it is no big deal to have Squier on the headstock. It's light and it plays beautifully and that's really all I could want. I have several more expensive guitars but this little gem is just fun to play.
@Minimalism I've not heard that, but the Classic Vibe Strats are a great platform to modify. The first mod would be to replace the block with brass or steel. Make sure it is the right size though as some of the CV Strats have thinner bodies. If you are not a trem guy, then just deck the bridge and put a nice piece of hard maple behind the original block. Tone and sustain will improve significantly. I would also replace all the pots and switch. For $100.00 you can put in an Obsidian Wire Strat solder less harness and Bob's your uncle. It comes complete with a Switchcraft jack
You'll have a great sounding and playing Strat for a fraction of the cost of it's American cousin
are u retarded..... he said telecaster..... no block or trem...... @@Taylort3b
has anyone noticed the almost empty bottle of jack?
Ethan Holliday it was the first ive noticed
Oh yeah. Look around on other vids. I may drop off a few nice scotch’s. They’ll make it on the vids !
Prop
Moreover, it changes position at 10:35 ;-)
in fact i have noticed the bottle but not that it is nearly empty.. haha you have a good eye.. or you are an expert in jack Daniels..

- Rob Chapman on the Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster
May 29 2011
big shot is my favorite band. you guys saved my life
Bought one and it has become my no 1 guitar!
the tele or the strat?
Hi Jona, the Telecaster. For the money it really is a great guitar!
What is often called ash-tray, is the pickup cover for the bridge pickup delivered with the old 50s ons.Almost everybody used to remove the cover and used it as an ash-tray on stage. So this might be the reason, you hear some people speaking of an ash-tray design bridge on a tele.
Rob is right about the tele.
I used to work in a guitar store and the classic vibe tele and especially the jazzmaster were better sounding and feeling than some fenders.
And they are really light
Lee It's called an Ashtray because Teles used to come with a metal cover over the bridge plate. People used to remove these because it prevented palm muting. The covers were then used as ashtrays.
Awesome I did not know that
Fender facts!! :D
Didn't he say that?
just bought yesterday that Telecaster, same color...simply amazing...i even tested it at the store against some american teles...and it was just better...it looks amazing, i feel like grabbing it every time i look at it...i also tested the Strat ClassicVibe..also amazing..i just didnt want tremolos anymore and i NEEDED that Tele looks!
That tele sounds MEAN!!!!!! Especially with that gain!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
the reason they called it an ashtray style as the original guitars, came with a cover, that guitarist pulled off and put on top of their amps and them used it as an ashtray (instead of putting the cig between the strings and head stock
Mr. Captain & Mr. Chapman, what else can I ask for? These two guys fit each other... Perfectly... Great vid...
16:03 RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - READYMADE (gotta love the fact that chappers played a song by the peppers)
I'm not familiar with that one, is it from the earlier albums?
will schaumann No, the one before the latest called "stadium arcadium" from 2006.
also, the guy with the flip flops did a really good job on imitating the intro of Good Times Bad Times. Supprisingly good.
Second note, does anyone know the name of the tune played at 4:46? I'd really love to learn it
***** That's one of Rob's tunes, called "Majesty". He has a lesson for it on his channel.
***** But it's also a song by haiden pantierre called Telescope. They stole Rob's riff
I own both, but my Tele is a pine body - heavy. Much prefer the Tele on the neck pickup over the Strat - gorgeous sounding and absolutely awesome neck.
5 fucking years... Oh my fucking god
6...
Im buying a tele today. I cant wait, especially after watching this!
its been only five years and rob looks like he is 20 years older now
Or simple karma or "genetics" for the materialists among us. As Rob loves playing and that doesn't cause stress, although he may be working like a demon "behind the scenes" unbeknownst to the public and this may be taking it's toll on 'im' - aah..
I think he looks a lot better nowadays! Probably due to the healthy (maybe vegan?) livestyle he lives
lol!
Needs to shave and grow out his hair again lol
i´ve seen this video like 5 times in a row... love that tele sound sooooo much!
Tabs for flip-flops pleeeeeeezeee.
the basic rythym is flip flip flop flip flop flop
the last flop has a 1 second delay on the actual record, but I'll let it fly
seeing the screen shot at 2:00 makes me happy. i own the fiesta red strat, and im going in town right now to get the tele that rob is holding.
Love that little guitar part at 4:40 I need to learn that pronto 😝👍
I love my classic vibe tele. I just used it this week for some recordings I did for my channel. The thing is Exceptional!
this CV Telly is really cool... I totally agree with you guys... I got mine a while ago and love it a lot... Looks classic and sounds splendid... :-)
Ah yeah, and really entertaining nice vid... :-)
Just bought a Tele CV! Can't wait to play it! Sounds great!
you guys are awesome you s show everything about all guitars and pedals . other youtubers some of them show shit videos but some are ok . but yous show all the videos will help me figure out what to buy . thank you
that little bit at the start was fooking awesome
I was mayonazed by this.
Intro alone is worth a thumbs up. Nicely done.
I actually think the pickups on these models are really good.
Picked up a used Blonde Classic Vibe 50's for $100 a few years back. Love that guitar! It just plays so well and I dig that Tele sound and style. Incredible guitar for the money.
Andy Partridge of XTC plays squire telecasters.
Thanks to Rob Champus for such brilliant playing. I just bought this guitar yesterday but if I had not heard what Rob did with it I would never have bought it. Been playing for over 40 years and this is an unbelievably sweet guitar and an absolute steal for the money. It is truly an amazing Guitar. Thanks for the great demo guys! You convinced me to buy one!! Thanks again, Steve!
The Tele is gorgeous, it really catches the feeling, the brightness and the dynamic of a good Fender.
The Strato, not as good...I mean, good enough for 300 pounds, but it "looks" better than it sounds. It's tiny and it lacks the "clack" attack you would expect.
I have the classic vibe strat, it's a great guitar and soo much better than the bullet strats/affinity strats and in some ways even better than a mexican strat
ChristianIce Really? Because the strat had the quintessential snap and bell-like tone like a vintage one would. In fact, I'd say the Tele was a lot brighter than 50s Teles are. It sounded more like a 60s Tele.

You can always change de pups!
The Strat sounded f awesome and I came here to check out the Tele. You need to clean your ears!
yes. infact, i compared it to a mexi fender, american standard, and an american deluxe at the store and it held its own to all of them! playing it right now actually
Did anyone realize that the video length was 19:51 and the guitar are 50's classic vibes XD
Omg genius here
Joshua Forest xD
Haha
I'm so proud of you for figuring that out. I can only imagine what your mother thinks
The Squier line has come a long way since the late 70's early 80's. I tried both the Strat and the Tele and I couldnt believe how much better the quality is over the older models. The biggest improvement is in the fret wire. The old ones were left pretty much unfinnished and were so sharp that when you ran your hand up and down the neck, it nearly cut you. These new ones are done so nice and smooth that theyre at least as good as the mexican ones. The Squiers are a super bargain these days!
I'm also a profound flip-flop drummer.
I agree, sounded great, and would love to see a full cover of the tune!
Plays a Chili Peppers song, Happens to be the only Chili Peppers song played on a Les Paul
Nishan Shrestha Timestamp?
yeah
Whoo-aah
Actually not. John also used Les Paul on Fortune Faded, Knock Me Down and most likely other Mother's Milk songs.
came here just for this comment
I have the stratocaster. It is a very well made, incredible playing guitar. The tinted maple neck and fretboard is very smooth and comfortable. The quality control is amazing. The pickups are great sounding. It is my main guitar. I would eventually like to get the telecaster. They are $349.00 in the U.S. or at least from Musician's Friend. Where I got mine from.
17:30 chapman plays hendrix. oh man
Thanks! I am expecting it to arrive by tomorrow or the next day and needless to say I am pretty excited.
A Tele has a unique and distinctive sound even more than a Strat. If you want that sound you HAVE to get a Tele IMO.
I have this tele, from this year(as these were made in China with brass saddles), and it is amazing. It definitely punches above its price point
Great Tele type for a ridiculous price. More clean sounds please, you're missing an important part of the Tele vibe, mates. 😁
I own 2 of the Tele Vibes. Butterscotch and Blonde. They are great guitar. The action, neck, and sound are wonderful. The pickups are really good too, but I installed Seymour '54 Vintage in one, and Bare Knuckle "The Boss" in the other. I use them for gigs, recording and practice. They are awesome and a fantastic price.
Surprisingly amazing for ~300-400 bucks. Probably the most solid electric guitars you will find for that price.
Drinking game: every time Lee touches his nose, drink!
The bottle of Jack is right next to him XD
I have had my vibe 50s for nearly a year now and its still great, buy one =)
A real guitarist wouldn't care about the name on the headstock.
If Jimmy page picked up two telecasters, one squier and the other fender, I bet he could make both of them sound the same.
Keep it wholesome!
Think of instruments like having percent stat boosts. a regular guy who sounds like 100 will sound 130 of a squier(30%) and 150 on a fender (50%) where a professional who sounds 1000 will sound 1300(30%) on a squier and 1500 on a fender(50%). of course its more complicated than this but the point is the quality of the instrument makes more of a difference to those of a higher level of playing.
very doubtful
idiot...
Agree. It’s the driver not the car.
Also the amp is where the majority of your tone comes from anyway. A cheap guitar in a good amp will sound better than an expensive guitar through a shite amp.
got my squier classic vibe telecaster a few months ago and it is beautiful, i love it :)
11:08 Little did he know...
lmao
Best LedZep cover I've ever heard!
Got to get me some of that Fiest red Classic Vibe Strat ass.
I Play 40 years rock guitar.I got me this tele and this is a f!kin rock monster Guitar. Superb!!!!
i like the tele more than the strat...
Cheers on playing the Reef song. One of my favorite grooves!
I know you guys are rockers, but don't you think it might have been better to run the test through a twin or a deluxe?
*****
I don't know if that's all true. I have one and I find them to be outstanding in their quality and workmanship. If you go to TDPRI you will see that they are owned by players all over the world and most have other top end guitars and amps.
*****
Sorry, I misunderstood. Yeah, they are a budget guitar. I love mine through a compressor and a Cube 60.
***** What do you know about the Chinese copies that are out there?
***** I saw a video on here in a couple of slots that talked about how great these guitars were. Just curious if you know anything. Most people I know think they are crap.
***** The Classic Vibe Squiers are made in China and believe it or not are way better than the Mexican made Fenders.
You guys are the Top Gear of guitars! Hi-feckin'-larious!!!
rob has no hair :O
As soon as my paycheck rolls in I'm buying a Telecaster, been thinking about it for a while but this video convinced me now :D
lmao is that chappers? dude rob, dont cut you hair man you look so much better with dreads bro XD
man can Chappers really wail!!!!! he can make any guitar sound amazing!!! I honestly believe having an amazing amp is more important than the name on the headstock of a guitar
Whose watching in 2017!!!
Ronan White hello from 2018
Had no idea these guys were doing this back then. Lee hasn't changed except he plays wicked now. Awesome time travel
Almost 2019 and I’m watching for the first time. Just now discovered the CV 50’s Tele. Thinking I’m wanting one.
Yup. I just came home with a new Classic Vibe Tele a couple of hours ago and I'm now a HUGE fan. I've owned over 50 guitars in the last 35 years but this is my first ever Telecaster and I'm sold. I always just thought of Telecasters as country chicken-pickin' guitars, but I was *so* mislead...
Dude Rob lost a lot of weight
I have a 50s in white and its my favourite guitar ever! and I have played a few.
as an american, i say chappers can play circles around john mayer.
Don't know about that one
Bahaha...yea right!!!
As an American, bullshit.
jordan louie I'd rather listen to John Mayer though. Rob is shred shred shred
Is John Mayer good? Maybe. Would I rather listen to someone jam their finger up my cat's butt? Definitely.
These are nice guitars. I had both. Both sounded really great. I had them both set up really nice. The Squiers were very light in weight. Had really nice necks and fret boards. I regret trading these guitars away for a Blacktop Strat. I probably will get these guitars again. Classic iconic designs and sounds.
I ordered one of these guitars, alas not from Andertons but elsewhere due to their free shipping to Southern Ireland. Anyway, just to say after checking out your demo, I will soon be the proud owner of the Fender Squier Classic Vibe 50's Telecaster. Thanks lads for the terrific and entertaining demo.
It is the same one. He said in the video that he would most likely buy this very guitar and he did. I checked the how to buy a guitar vid and it is in fact the same one. I have one too and I love it. Very high quality.
It's a thing you would usually do on a strat just to make it sound stratty, but when you try to strum say the D string (if in standard tuning) and you do a downstroke, and make sure whatever finger is on the string, covers the G, B, and E strings, to make sure it stops them from ringing, but gives you that noise.
That Telecaster sounds amazing. I'd love to own one!
Bottom line, as a life-long "Fender Guy", and having slogged through a lot of years of "what are they doing?", "what were they thinking?" and "why can't they just do ____?", I gotta tell ya, THIS is the return to golden era for Fender for the 1st time since the fifties and the sixties.
Their 2 best lines, period, regardless of price point, or bells and whistles, are available for sale right now:
The 2012/14 American Vintage Series, and the Squier Classic Vibe/ Vintage Modified Series (I truly consider the CV and VM as one initiative.)
The CV and VM lines are nearly all wonderful, with the CV 50 Strats the GLORIOUS cleans of,he VM Surf Strat and the (2013+ traditional) VM Jaguars reigning over the lot.
And literally EVERY offering in the stunning, stellar and completely spot-on re-creations of the current American Vintage series is a masterpiece.
Everything else in their catalog, now, before, and possibly after, is unequal, redundant, half steps and sideways changes for no better results; frequently at less attractive prices.
Seriously, these are the two best product lines Fender have produced in the last 40 years. And I've owned samples of much of the rest in between now and then.
Here's hoping they realize this truth, build in it, grow it, but PROTECT IT!
Don't let the bean counters, and passing whims of fickle trends rob the guitarists of the world of these magical offering.
You guys are having too much fun... good shows.
i guess i never thought about it, but i got a tele back in september, and i tune it about once every month, and i bend and shred the crap out of it and practice every day for close to an hour usually, i reckon thats actually a pretty decent guitar, i cant get over how amazing the rhythm pickup sounds.
I love this Tele, I have 3 (a GC special HH, a Squier Affinity BSB and MIM Fender) already, but would love to get a CV50s. The vintage tuners have the "Safety Post" feature. Great reviews from Capt & Chappers!
Love them tuners to, they should be on every guitar.
believe me it's a AMAZING guitar you won't regret your choice.
i bought the antique blonde version...then bought a cv50s neck and put it on my Squier 51...then i made a tele out of mahogany and bought another cv50s neck and put it on that...these tele cv50s are some of the best guitar deals out there
5:50 Actually, fellas, it called an 'ashtray' bridge because for a long time there was a metal cover that went over the saddles/pickup on Esquires and Teles. That piece *did* look like (and could be used as) an ashtray. I had a 70s Strat that had a similar chrome bridge-cover, too.
Awesome drumming, and done with house slippers.
you guys always keep it real in your reviews, which is nice
i have cv50 tele for about 3 years now and its best guitar i own and first guitar i pick if i want to play or pratice .... i was now going thru reviews of this guitar on yt and finaly my favourite guitar maker test it tooo .... i think everybody love this guitar ...
The Place I worked at had this Strat and it was my absolute favorite. The Playability is crazy.
Ok thanks. Wouldn't mind learning that part, it sounds really cool.
These Telecasters are magnificent... Certainly the best thing Squier has produced since the JV and SQ series. :)
that flip flop idea is too cool
I have had a classic vibe 60's strat for a few years and I love it, thinking about getting one of the teles now ;-)
Love the near empty JD bottle on amp! CVs and VM Squiers are awesome.
I really enjoyed your video. I have both a “Strat”, and a
Jaguar Base. I played a Jazz Base my whole carrier,
but love the Squire.
I've grown pretty used to it, and I don't have small hands. I have a 1978 Peavey T-60 that makes the neck on my CV Tele seem twice as thick.
Yes...I have also read somewhere, or heard on a documentary perhaps, that Hank's Strat wasd actually the SECOND one to come here. He was certainly the first Brit to really 'put one out there' as a solo instrument.
That beginning was so awesome haha!!
The term "ashtray" bridge actually came from a clunky chrome-plated steel cover that fit over the narrow vertical steel pieces you see on either side of the bridge pick up. It totally covered the pickup and the three brass saddles. In the 50s, somebody at Fender thought it looked cool or made a good resting platform for your picking hand. Legend has it, that players when rehearsing, took off these somewhat unnecessary covers, turned them up-side-down and used them for ashtrays....hence "ashtray" bridge.
