Love what you did with this Squier! I like the simplicity of single pickup guitars. My guess is Electric Orange!! ‘Tis a Ford colour which was on the cap that Tom had on in “The Pursuit of Tone”, is a fairly rare colour for guitars, is also a colour that Tom likes a lot, and I think it would look awesome on a guitar!!

I took my first, which is a Squire Affinity Strat and added a loaded Fender pick guard with noiseless pups and S-1 switching. Added a bone nut and Classic Vibe tuners. Plays and sounds really nice. Didn’t cost much because I had a lot of parts from other guitars.

Did something similar to a ‘93 black Strat I picked up to practice with while traveling. The electronics went out and threw in a new PG with Fender parts (it was easier to diagnose that way 🤣🤣). Absolutely a great platform! Plus, the ‘93 is one of the MIM Squiers with Fender body & Neck from Corona CA 👍🏼

My guess is Fiesta Red. It’s a beautiful finish that Ford used to frequent. Even if it’s not, I’m sure you picked out a very nice and flashy finish for the next project. Can’t wait to see it!

Lovely work on the Squier, as always: the fretboard turned out to be really lovely. I'll take a guess at the mistery colour too: Ocean Turquoise! Kind of a wild one, but simply amazing, in my opinion. Keep going with this great videos!

That guitar turned out amazing! I will always love the way strats look with a single pickup. My guess is it will be Verde Ithaca/Scandal/Mantis or however Lamborghini calls their bright green.

Crazy how well preserved the body of this guitar was. I’m a huge fan of the EVH 10s strings. My guess is shell pink

@Giant_Guitars

11 ай бұрын

Great strings! Yeah, owned by my family from new probably helped 😁

Love the look of the squier! For the guitar, I would have to guess Sherwood Green. Love the look of that color on a guitar!

Wow! Definitely a very good looking Squire you got there. Keep the videos going. Love the upgrades and tutorials. For the color… I guess, it’s a matte black. Fingers crossed. Hahaha!

I bought a Squier Contemporary a couple of years ago, it had 12 inch radius which was not an option on most of the Fenders. It needed some fixes (deburr the bridge plate to prevent snapping the strings, replace the nut and string trees to improve tuning stability), but it became a very comfortable instrument.

Really nice video. My first guitar was a Mexican Squire, back when Fender still owed the line. The major difference between it and it's more expensive U.S. cousins were the single ply pick guard, the tuners and the pick-ups. Easy and cheap up-grades, so I basically had an entry level American Strat for about half the price. But no up-grade ever adds value, and selling and trading is a thing.

I think OP means the Fender Squier Series, which is different from the actual Squier guitar, and are the predecessors to the Player series (I think? iirc, they were MIM)

I want it to be Burgundy Mist Metallic, but something like Inca Silver would be more probable.. Also, cool mod. Although the off-white colors like parchment or mint were never my first choice for pickguards, but that's just a minor taste difference.

That strat looks amazing! I think it would be funny if you took out the humbucker from the Tom Delong and turn it into a single coil 😆 anyways my guess for the guitar color is Alpine White 😊

Candy apple red is my guess. I thought of it impulsively. Then I went back and forth with myself. But, I went with the first thought. Probably because I think it makes a great guitar color. Thanks for the opportunity. This is a really interesting video.

I'm going with British Racing Green, and Rosso Corsa (classic ferrari red) maybe too much of a classic color for that type of guitar, but lets go! Happy to watch your vids all the way from Mexico!

My color guess is Porsche Racing Yellow. The strat turned out rather nice, I like the pickguard color, a nice vintage vibe. I love working on my guitars, I only have one Strat and 7 Epiphones, the Squire was really cheap, I put new tuners on as you did, the top is nice it just needs the wiring fixed, and the tremolo has a ground hum.

Congratulations on the work and thank you for these inspiring videos For the mystery color I vote for copper metalic... These guitars remember me the load sound of Bob Mould's band Sugar and the album Copper blue, even if he plays a classic blue stratocaster

I absolutely love these DeLonge style mods! The guitar looks fantastic! As for the color, my guess would be Shell Pink!

My guess is TV Yellow!

Amazing work with the Squier! I think something like Radiant Silver would suit the DeLonge strat!

Love the upgrade! Makes me inspired to do the same! I think your guitar would look good in a "Penny" color!

That was a nice watch, definitely glad I stumbled upon your channel. I'd love to see the guitar in a dark lambo finish, I believe they call it Verde Ermes

Loved how the guitar turned out and the passion you put into your work! Thanks a lot for the giveaway, for which my guess is a vibrant lime green

That looks great!

Thank god i almost turned it off when i thought you were going with the james brown sparkling pick guard haha turned out real nice brother

My guess is Valencia Orange, just because I'd love to see a TD Strat in that colour! 😍 Really enjoyed the vid, your squier sounds top now! 👍

Great video! I’m thinking about getting a Squier and modding it up as well. As for my guess on the color I’m gonna have to say gun metal gray.

Love that pickguard on the red! My guess is Burgundy Mist!

I reckon you’ll be painting it race green - can’t wait to see what colour it turns out as, such an awesome guitar :)

Ah so nice to stumble on this video. About to do pretty much the same for my red Squier Affinity Strat (except I want humbucker bridge + single coil neck). As for my guess, I'm going with a fav of mine. It has some form of automotive in the name. Taxi Cab Yellow!

Thanks for the video. I thought the high string tuners were a bit short when you put them on but figured maybe they were supposed to be. I just put a staggered set off a Fender Professional Strat that I got second-hand on my Asian T-style. ;) (Oh, that's not clear - the tuners were second hand, replaced with locking tuners - I didn't get the whole Strat.)

I’m too late for the give away guitar. I just wanted to say I have modified a few of my guitars almost exactly like you have yours. The only difference is I used a telecaster body made by Shecter with a Floyd Rose route a bridge mounted trembucker from Duncan, a pawnshop Aria pro neck. Also a Douglas telecaster I modded that is a hard tail like a LP, humbucker in the bridge position as well. A Harmony strat that I put a Squire neck on it and another strat body a friend gave me with an after market neck and bridge position humbucker, strat trem non locking single volume only. And recently I just finished a modified telecaster body guitar with the typical tele appointments. I appreciate what you do as I do the same type of things. It’s fun to modify guitars to what you like and it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks about what you enjoy doing. Take care, happy holidays…

good job with the mod

My guess for the guitar color is zenith blue, the iconic color from Gulf livery race cars (adding details in tangerine orange) keep playing! You do a great job!

If you take about 1 tsp of Potassium Permanganate to 7-8 tsp of water, that solution works really well for darkening and dying fretboards. I took a Paul ferro board on a MIM strat and made it look like this sick, dark, vintage rosewood. Wipe it on, let it dry. Will only take a few min. Then buff off, lightly hit with steel wool, and then oil with your preferred oil. I found that chasing the solution with Montypresso brings the grain out after dying quite a bit. Can lighten up prior to oil with extra fine steel wool. I’m currently working on a friends squire neck today too 😅

I’m going to take a wild guess but is it British racing green? Love your videos man inspires me to tinker with my guitars a lot more to how I like them love the videos man!!!

Good choice going with the plain white pickguard instead of the pearl. I think it better suits the esthetic of the guitar. I recently took out my first electric, which is an Epiphone Fat 210 and I'm planning to get it going again. I will upgrade the tuners, replace the saddles and do a full setup. It cleaned up nicely and is still a blast to play.

Squier looks great! My guess would be Sunburnt Orange for the mystery colour.

I have a butterscotch tele, black pickguard, and has USA pickups, CTS pots, Switchcraft plug, bone nut, cloth wiring and vintage tuners on an aged neck. It has a 4 way switch, too - 3 Tele sounds + both pickups out of phase, so it does twang, Strat, jazz and can get blistering distortion if you want.....just incredible, especially considering it cost me $320!!! It's my "Keef" guitar and so much more.....

Great video! My guess is Blaze Gold

Did you keep the nut and jack socket? on my cheap strat the jack socket was so thin and weak I had to replace it. I never saw that method of coloration before not sure what in the steel wood makes the reaction. I thought strats had 3 single coils? How do you get the tone variations without them?. Some people say you need to remove the central tree but you kept it?

So yes I kept the nut, no I replaced the jack socket but in the video after this as I was changing up the wiring. The nut is good in this one, cut nicely and plays nice so I didn't think it was necessary.

Im a lifelong ibanez, esp, jackson, charvel player who NEVER owned a fender. I recently picked up a highly modified Squier SONIC !

Granted this Sonic had all hardware pups and electronics upgraded, frets crowned leveled and polished, but it is one of the nicest playing and sweetest tone of any guitar ive had in over 30 years. I definitely see value in modding these entry level guitars. Honestly sounds and plays as good, if not better than guitars 3-4x the price.
