Great demos of three very interesting guitars. You sold me, boys. Charles, you look like you need some rest, brother.
Fantastic
@TheJazzyJaguar only cheapskates downgrade to squiers……
@MrAlex981418 of course there is a Squier 51. The number is just a model number, not a production year
@thejazzyjaguar there’s no Squier 51!!! the squier series start making guitars in 80′s!!!!
@thejazzyjaguar theres no squier 51!!!!
I just got my SQUIER ’51 and I love it! Sure, you can go out and spend over 700 dollars and get a Fender ’51, which in my opinion isn’t better, but the Squier ’51 is the original model and it sounds beautiful. The ’51 is the only guitar I think Squier got right
as for the Mustang being a “toy”…I’d say that is a very subjective remark….Fender’s premier guitar of the early 60′s, the Jaguar, had the same
24″ scale….and it used by many players to this day…this Mustang is unlike the
early Mustang….mostly in name only….it is more of a combo of a Mustang, a Jaguar (varied switching) and a Tele DeLuxe (the pickups)…
@dragantoe Wow, that’s totally untrue. The Squier ’51 was built solid, though I admit that the electronics weren’t great (got it for under 100 bucks, so that’s to be expected). With it’s low price, it was an amazing canvas for guitar modders, and turned into a really nice guitar with a good setup, some hardware changes, and a change of p-ups. The evidence of it’s success is right here, in the form of the Fender ’51. The man said ‘loosely based’ (1:19), but its really just an upscale replica.
incredible.
incredible more than my guitar 52 tele.
mustang sucks a lot.:S
I really only care for the ’72 and the mustang
I NEED TO HAVE THAT ’72.
@42cosmonauts Actually I played it again today
It’s the seafoam green. Looks and sounds great. But I did an A to B comparison again with the Fender Blacktop Strat and once again I preferred the Blacktop. Very similar (if not identical) tones and $800 cheaper – and it has the whammy bar which I prefer. Anyway – you’ll have your own view.
Really? How was it? I’ll have to check it out then!
@42cosmonauts In my opinion the Fender Blacktop Strat was just as good for $700. The 72 Pawnshop is $1500. Can’t say I heard $800 difference but that’s your call.
@42cosmonauts I played one today in Cranbourne Music in the Melbourne CBD
@DopeDethrone Thanks! I’m really keen on getting the 72′ now. The only problem is that they don’t sell in Australia, well not at the moment I don’t think… I guess I’ll have to wait. I want to hold it and play it before i can really decide.
I have an acoustic guitar and want to move to electric guitar. Would these guitars be good for beginner electric guitar players? I really like the look of the ’72 and mustang special.
I also played a Mustang. Cool looking but I felt that the bridge pickup was a bit too muddy for my tastes when overdriven. And the neck was too round and small. I like a flatter neck. The neck on the 72 fit my hands better.
I played a Surf Green Pawn Shop 72 at a local music store and was BLOWN away! I had to have it. I sold two backup guitars in order to get one. You can feel the quality, it’s heavier than I imagined. The neck is flawless. The first time I played it with my band it stayed in tune all night long. Great tones too…the neck pickup gives you a jazzy, clean warmth with just a touch of high end bite and the hot Enforcer Bridge pickup has some nice overdrive.
@letterbekmen how is this nonsense?
The mustang special is shit, I played one and it fell apart while I was playing it.
