cant we get a revirw of a squier thin line cv someday
Comment from : @mikegaudet6264

First off, man I want the mocha one Cooper, you mention the Fender FMT HH…I own one Yes, they’re a thousand bucks but it’s very different from this Squier The Fender is a set neck, the humbuckers are Seymour Duncan (a 59 in the neck and Pearly Gates in the bridge), mahogany body, push/pull coil tap, matching headstock, graphite nut, but does have the cheap *ss Indian laurel fretboard that I personally can’t stand But the real win on the Fender is the neck It’s just magic That being said, again, I want this mocha model and it looks like you can’t beat it for $300 Thanks guys!

I bought this guitar after I came upon this video I’m over the moon with how it turned out I put a Wilkinson bridge and brass saddles, new strings and a quick set up, and it’s been my fav guitar to play for months now I’m in love with it Thanks for the intel
Comment from : @Graplernapler

ew with all your pickups, disgusting
Comment from : @coffee838

Would you recommend one of these over the perennial favorite of the Squier 50s Vibe Classic Tele?
Comment from : @mkst1995

I went to Dave's Guitar shop La Crosse needing a classic sounding Teli for under $2k My 2 finalists were both Squire One was the 40th anniversary, and one was the affinity I couldn't believe my ears Wound up going with the black guard looking Affinity because it looked and sounded the part and absolutely love it The intonation saddles are great Will likely put those on higher end Telis, too

What is body thickness?
Comment from : @mr1bienvenu1

Pretty good production quality of this video I like 👍
Comment from : @Sven_K

Awesome demo and review Visually, the white binding on the red is such a simple but very nice touch It sounds great overall especially for its price point Once I finish modding my project guitar, I'm definitely going to snag that Red Affinity Tele
Comment from : @Zvonmp3

I'm from Guyana 🇬🇾, can Alamo ship guitar to Guyana? Thanks
Comment from : @tickedoffsheikh8587

Squire has a way to go Every one I've ever had needed fret work There are lesser "name" brands coming out of the same factory regions with so much better wood and hardware For half the price point, I can mod one and have a much better playing and sounding guitar That's just what it is now
Comment from : @rofflestomp684

What is an "entry level" guitar?
Comment from : @fumanpoo4725

I have the mocha onepros and cons brFor the money ( bought a blemish one) a good guitar light (75 lbs) , 95 radius neck brCons : humbucker is muddy, replacing the nut took time ( I replaced the nut on my 🇺🇸 strat and Mex tele in less time) , it was glued big time I replaced with a tusq nut on all 3 guitarsit enhanced the sound

Cooper is getting that beard into Zach Wylde territory Give us some diary of a mad man Cooper Not diarrhea of a madman diary😁
Comment from : @30smsuperstrat

If price is irrelevant, this or a CV60s custom? Thanks
Comment from : @xavierjasperundang4118

Loved this review even though it quickly went to a dark place toward the end 🤣
Comment from : @dammitjim9131

No point for couple hundred more get a real fender player, these are cheap need a lot of set up,need to change stuff no resale value can't believe these pulling the wool just get a player if you're on a budget not Chinese crap
Comment from : @djizzah

Got the red one today Perfectly finished, and the fretwork is awesome
Comment from : @Paul-r2u3e

Looks kinda like Zack Wylde & Luke Combs trying to sell me guitars
Comment from : @bflo5210

It seems that the Affinity line for Squier ranked up to what used to be the Standard line for Squier The older Affinity guitars seemed to be more in line with today's Bronco seriesbrbrI know that the Classic Vibe line took over the top line for Squier but it used to be the Standard series
Comment from : @gringogreen4719

What a fun video! Thanks so much, guys!
Comment from : @infiniteawareness2202

Want
Comment from : @ThePump369

so is it 299 or 399
Comment from : @charles6762

I am a novice guitarist so this question may not seem valid to you I recently bought one of these guitars and when you say that the setup is great out of the box does that also mean the intonation is perfect across all notes or does a great setup just need a tweak here or there?
Comment from : @richardrowe8870

Hello San Antonio,,,
Comment from : @rexchiquine6049

You guys are getting very comfortable and funny Enjoyed this one!

Indian lorel vs maple?
Comment from : @stuartsneddon8919

You guys are being extra diplomatic
Comment from : @Hexspa

Some seriously wicked and tasty playing by Cooper Think Imma get me one of these soon 🔜
Comment from : @yadayadayada360

I really appreciate that you have some actual experience and intelligence with playing and critiquing guitars It's so annoying to brtry to watch beginners trying to bang away some bad out of tune chords and obviously have no real experience Nice job I willbrbuy an Affinity tele for my stable of guitars For one thing, they sound way better than Harley Benton's mud pickups I crave the brbite that a tele gives you, much more so than a strat
Comment from : @toddparfitt4358

Leo created the Tele to be simple and mass produced, it's amazing to see Fender and Squier getting them in the hands of so many players at every level
Comment from : @connor_gee

Lol well looks like I'll be purchasing one really soon excellent reviews and playing as always 👍👍
Comment from : @robphillips8351

1:36 I believe the official color is "Crimson Red Transparent" My brother-in-law just bought one and loves it crazy value for the money
Comment from : @michaeleaster1815

What a great channel!!!
Comment from : @johnkim1043

Sires and others have 22 frets!
Comment from : @user-abcxyz-xr2eg

Don't like 21 frets!
Comment from : @user-abcxyz-xr2eg

I have been playing my Bullit every day Sounds very tele Fender makes the best necks in the businesd, so save your money for a good amp The pickups are fine in these imho
Comment from : @johndaugherty4127

Beard reviews are in order
Comment from : @Æqualium7

Lower end Epi sounds like shit out of the box The Humbucker is nice Is a twangy guitar which you expect It's nice to get something in tune out of the box Treble is set to high on your playing for me taste You can open g on that sucker and play like Keith
Comment from : @Gonar1212

it's SH
Comment from : @eddykidd

The heavy set young man talks to damn fastIn the intro it sounds like he said we are here in 'Sa ee toe tx
Comment from : @michaelwalker6840

So is squier affinity sliding into like the higher tier of the brand, it seems like Squier CV and Paranormal is kinda in the quality range of the previous MIM standards … seems like everything is leveling up…did they raise the quality of parts on the affinity series?
Comment from : @thereala-a-ron9635

Fuck it I'm buying a Grote
Comment from : @onefatstratcat

Quote of the day: “When a fan rushes the stage you can hit them with a Tele and it stays in tune” 😂
Comment from : @ancientfifer

would love to see you guys talk about the new squire starcaster deluxe i can’t decide between that and a tele like these
Comment from : @jarednelsonn

Chris holds up flat bladed shovel with no strings, hands shovel to Cooper, Cooper performs mind-melting blues
Comment from : @RocktCityTim

Squier have been knocking it out of the park recently, really nice lines, great prices
Comment from : @abominablemusic

I would love to know how they compare against the Offset Telecaster and the CV series
Comment from : @Someone-lc6dc

HS would be bucket in the bridge Fender describes their Performer Tele Hum as an SH It’s 4 times the price by the way lol!
Comment from : @DavidMorrissey1978

I was searching for a reviewer because I just bought one unknowingly at a shop Picked it up just cuz it looked nice and it played better than most of the player series there It was also 299 Wild
Comment from : @claytonduffymusicoffical

I have a Squire Cabronita Thinline Tele and it's beyond amazing!
Comment from : @jeremythornton433

Didn't realise how beautiful that Mocha finish is until this video May get one as I've been tempted to buy a cheap Tele as I only own Strats and an LTD EC-1000
Comment from : @whiteshadow67

Is this a good upgrade from a fender squier strat? I got the guitar/amp kit from guitar center a while back and i’m looking to upgrade I love the tele especially in that crimson red 😮‍💨
Comment from : @andycarle7304

Great video! I have a FMT Sienna burst Affinity HSS Strat and it is GORGEOUS and plays like a dream You don't see it much in this video but man, that flame on the top veneer on mine is really pretty and makes it look much more expensive than it is It definitely stands out against a typical flat poly color or even a two-tone burst Two other things I noticed that these share is the flat block style chromed saddles - They are super comfy and don't seem to collect dirt or rust like the bent style do Second - the split tuners are fantastic I won't buy another guitar that doesn't have these type of tuners So clean and insanely easy to change your strings I'm going to go play mine right meow!
Comment from : @stopthink9000

A REAL BUMMER THEY DON'T MAKE THEM IN A LEFT HANDED VERSION!!!!! AGAIN THE LEFTY'S LOOSE!!!
Comment from : @rickhill6277

The tuners have vintage style split posts? Might have to get a red one, since i already have a mocha 40th anniversary
Comment from : @fgreen411

Great review! Nice mix on those pickups and looks great Are you guys going to review the new Tele Troublemaker? Would be cool to seebrbrEdit: Just checked the site and saw it there, excited for the video
Comment from : @royalsky8806

Thanks for the heads-up! It's in my cart!😃
Comment from : @swilliamwalters5002

I wish Squier would bring back the John 5 Telecaster Or make a new "Ghost" Tele
Comment from : @finishinmycoffee8780

this or the new fender player II series?
Comment from : @tendingtropic7778

How does this compare to the player 2 teles?
Comment from : @228anonymous

Prefer the colors to the Player II Teles
Comment from : @SomeoneCalledRob

Thanks for the shout out Chris and Cooper! You guys rock!
Comment from : @cudawinders6892

I just bought a Squire classic vibe thinline natural telecaster with humbuckers for $449 and I couldn't be happier I bought my first Squire classic vibe Stratocaster from Alamo in 2019 and another great guitar My son came over and said Squire , oh Dad, I told him play either one and he was stoked, lol So I'm happy to see even the cheapest Squiers are getting better Thanks guys
Comment from : @douglaschristine8387

Question: some of the cheaper telecasters are being made with a light body wood, which is great but causes neck dive Is there any neck dive on these?
Comment from : @jeffblackwell5493

300 bucks or 3 k , they all sound good when Cooper plays 'em ! Great demo
Comment from : @DavidOHara-t4b

Cooper should include a clean tone as well so we can determine if the squires are well-rounded musically
Comment from : @janmichaeljablonsky9847

These guys should be getting a cut on all the sales across the nation and beyondbrThey do the best demos 😎🎸🎶💙
Comment from : @markwhite4433

What a stark contrast with Epiphone who has done cool things but has made their guitars so expensive that most people cant afford them anymorewhoever thought Epi would be getting to the 1600 range niw you have these at 300 bucks? Wow
Comment from : @guitarswhiskeyandgolf

Its good if you dont have money to buy real guitar If you have money, you not even look such guitars
Comment from : @BrankoPichler

Growing my beard out along with you guys! These Squiers are pretty sweet and I might have to order one once I choose the color Nice Spurs cap too!
Comment from : @eljefeguapobarbon

I’ve gotta say this is the nicest axe I’ve seen / heard at this price point Great video as always boyz! 🤙
Comment from : @TommySG1

I own one of the new Affinity Teles I also own two Classic Vibe Teles The tuners on the Affinity Tele are smoother and more consistent than the faux-vintage tuners on the Classic Vibes I like that the six saddle bridge on the Affinity allows a more accurate setup I very much prefer the matte finish on the neck of the Affinity Tele to the sticky necks on the Classic Vibes To their credit, the Classic Vibe guitars do sound better I've been wanting an HS tele for a while, and I might have to check these out
Comment from : @peterwilson8039

Sounded muffled and dull, feels like you are in a cave
Comment from : @venturaVlogger

Chris is starting to look like a leprechaun with the long beard All ya need his a green leprechaun hat 😉😁🍀
Comment from : @johnsmith-ug5tp

I want one in blue Squier is knocking it out of the park Really wish Epiphone was more committed to delivering more value at the lower end of their range like Squier and PRS SE
Comment from : @randrothify

This might be the one I’d pick to get the Keith Richards type tele at an affordable price
Comment from : @cph630_Chris

Finally a video on an affordable guitar,,,,thanks Guys!!
Comment from : @masterofce

I don’t understand guitars with a humbucker in the neck and a single coil in the bridge I want more output when I flick to my bridge pickup, not less!
