SRV Tone Challenge... (on a budget)

'SRV Inspired' Fender Squier FSR

In this video, we put a £419 Squier Strat to the test and see if it can nail the legendary SRV tone on a budget. With a limited budget, many guitarists are forced to compromise on tone, but we're here to see if the Squier Strat can deliver the goods without breaking the bank. Join us as we explore different settings and techniques to try and capture the essence of SRV's iconic sound. Will the Squier Strat rise to the challenge? Tune in to find out!

The classic vibe range is pound for pound the best guitar out there

There was nothing like setting in a vehicle in the winter in the 80's listening to SRV just wailing. Great sounds, no doubt !

[scrap_metal_magic]

Not only does that Squire look amazing it sounds amazing. Great work 👍🏻

[joshuabeeAlafia]

Man, love to see an affordable guitar come so hard with TONE. And TONE is in the hands, ultimately. Great playing, bruv.

Squier has gotten so good it's nuts. I played a 40th anniversary one in the guitar store, and it was killer.

Sounds like you nailed the SRV tone to me. Way to go!

[SomeKindOfMadman]

That sounds really good. I’d really a comparison with your 60’s Strat against the FSR

[doctoribanez]

I bet Stevie could make it sound like Stevie lol.
Smart of them to send you one

[HenryJ-Mk]

Please do a blind A/B test of the squire vs vintage Strat, I'd love to see us try and guess which is which!

[DavidAgiusMusic]

Your playing and technique is exceptional. You could plug a tennis racquet in to an amp and play it and still make it sound awesome.

[massimos]

Awesome playing great Sounding Squire ❤ 🎸

Something I've learnt from playing strats over the last 10 years or so is it really doesn't matter how much a strat costs. The key is that the neck feels good to you and inspires you to play.

From there, you can pretty much dial in ANY tone with a few pedals (in particular an EQ and Overdrive of some sort), a half decent amp or something like Amplitube. IMO, expensive guitars are nice to have and something to strive for. Great playing by the way. I nearly pulled the trigger on one of these FSRs before I remembered I already have a Squier Classic Vibe 60s 😂

I had a Vintage MIJ strat and got a classic vibe years ago. Sold one of the two. Still love my classic vibe 🤟

[ericmatthews]

Bro that last jam is fucking next level, amazing playing dude.

[minorsnow]

[simondixon]

[VlrGuitarWorld]
