David Gilmour EMG DG 20 pickups in a Squier? (Don't make the mistake I did!)
I know, it's crazy. I put a David Gilmour DG 20 pickup set in a Squier. It cost more than the guitar. But I love it, and it sounds great. I walk through the installation and write a song with the new sound. Be sure to watch the video so you don't make the same installation mistake I did. Hope you Enjoy.

    First off, in no way am I bragging on what I currently own or have owned in the past. With that said, I have owned $3,000 strats and $3,000+ PRS’s $3,000 Gibson’s….. I currently play and prefer the HT Squier Strat with a custom neck. These guitars are absolutely fire. You need to know how to work on them and be comfortable modding and fully setting them up to truly enjoy them.

    • @maxaeonmusic

      The black Strat is just a tad thinner with a gloss finish and medium jumbo frets. The yellow is a satin finish that feels like bare wood with narrow tall frets. I'm not a fan of glossy necks, so I like the squier better in that regard.

    There is a trend happening with the reissue of the old Fender Sonic Series: a funky sound and great playability for less cash. This could be Fenders antidote to the decline of the guitar in popularity. Since the Boomers adopted the guitar as the voice of their generation...the generations just after the Boomers have not done the same. The guitar reigned supreme from 1958 thru 1985. Will the guitar do it again?

    • @maxaeonmusic
      @maxaeonmusic Před měsícem

      Great comment. There is an endless variety of sounds within a DAW, and there is almost no need for guitar in modern pop music. Plus it takes practice. I think those factors have all aided in the decline. I don't know if guitar will ever regain its throne, but I'm sure there will be a niche resurgence of 3 and 4 piece garage rock bands as AI infiltrates music. People will crave authenticity. Will be interesting to see what happens.

    I was gifted one of the cheapest 2010 Squires (Strat-pack) you can buy from my brother who got it for himself but then didn’t get time to learn to play (he went for keyboard instead)….it was unplayable when I got it, but I cleaned & treated the maple neck, then had the frets levelled by a luthier who also made & fitted a bone nut, then I put in the DG20 & upgraded the tuners & saddles myself….it plays & sounds amazing now, looks so cool with a black body & pickguard…I’ve clearly spent a fair bit of time & money, but much less than a new MIM player & this thing is now in a different league! Don’t recall having to drill out, though I do remember a couple of the pickguard screws didn’t line up but that was no biggie…and yes, it’s quiet as a mouse with lovely tones (my LP studio is a noisy beast, though I did put SD Slash pups in it after similar TLC)…it just shows, you can turn a cheap guitar into a diamond with a bit of care, so go for it!

The down side is those dynamic mounts may need to be replaced at some point and could be pricy. I'm never going to track the car, and Sport + mode is too aggressive for the street in my opinion. I never use that mode. It stays in sport most of the time. You get sport mode in the basic spec, so if you don't need rev matching or sport +, you won't miss Sport Chrono. If you can, drive both to see if it matters to you. Like you, my interest is a sporty cruiser, not a track toy.

      I bought the same graffiti yellow Squier that you did and liked it so much I bought a second one. At first I was going to MOD it with better pots and pickups, but the Ceramic Single coils that are in it are actually pretty hot and if you want to run some gain.......or a TS 808 or 909 Tube Screamer.......for some blues or 80's rock it's good without any changes. It is fun to play and doesn't need the same chime as my American Deluxe. It has a really good sound of its own. I strongly recommend it as is for students, gigging, and fun. It's a great guitar and would be a good value at 3X the price.
