I really like the way you do these reviews with a variety of tones and musical play rather than a lot of noodling around often seen/heard on other video reviews. This gives a much better snapshot of the overall sound. Thanks very much. I subbed for more goodness. :)

I bought one of these brand new back in January for the home rig and it's become my favourite guitar that also happens to be pretty cheap. Here in Canada at the shop I buy from this was $400 before tax.

Another great review of gear accessible to most people.

The neck pickup is okay, but that bridge pick ups sounds phenomenal, especially for that cheap, I'm surprised. I bought a squier toronado and was surprised with those pick ups, I was planning on swapping them out, but I'm gonna keep them or a bit. Squier has been killing it lately.

Got mine about a month ago. Absolutely in love with it. My other guitars rarely get picked up. Lowered the pickups to about an inch (no kidding) below the strings for a sweet, mellow sound. I just dont like the amount of black. Might get some filtertron ripoffs to chuck in, but very happy as it is.

Absolute steal for £125 fair play. Haven't long started learning to try to play again after a long time.

This thing is great! I have one in a beautiful 3 tone sunburst and the weight, balance, and tone are great, especially for the price! I got mine for $240 and it’s amazing, I might replace the pickups but they do sound good so I don’t think it’s necessary. Good simple playing to show off the tone!

Hi Rob/The Meat. Hope you're well. Really enjoying your videos. Would you recommend one of these for doing some mellow guitar layering on mostly acoustic guitar tracks? I currently have an Epi SG but I'm not sure if it gives me quite the right sound. Any thoughts? I'm also open to any suggestions for similar price range guitars, somewhere under £200 (inc second hand). Cheers!

Never heard of that guitar, but looking at pictures there doesn't seem to be much resemblance at all.

Still deciding between this and semi-hollow squire tele, does it twang?

Mine had some sharp frets but otherwise was perfect I got a special file to clean those up. I thought I would use it for jazz but its better for grunge and metal which I'll use it for instead.

That guitar sound insane

Lennart N: it's essentially the same guitar, but built slightly different for the Classic Vibe. this guitar was based on the 1960's semi hollow Fender tried tapping into the Epiphone and Gibson market back then, but it didn't quite take off like the others at the time. the Affinity version is a modern take, the pickups have a modern kinda sound, the Classic Vibe version has that early 335 and 339 sort of sound. there both nice in there own way, but im kinda surprised Fender didn't make a player series version or American Performer. it's only available with Squier.

@@Jeymez Thanks for the input. I found a really good deal on a Squier Cyclone so my G.A.S. is cured for now. There used to be a Mexican Starcaster back around 2013, but since then indeed nothing Fender.
