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.

If they are good enough for David Gilmour, they’re good enough for me.
LOVELY SONG
Thank you!
Loved the first solo. Gonna have to try and learn that.
Thanks! I had fun with that track.
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.
Agreed. I've got Les Pauls and a fair share of high end shredders, and I end up picking up the cheap Squier more often.
These are the kinds of comparisons that YT needs more of. Thank you.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Anybody have an idea of the difference in weight between this Squire vs a Fender Players Series Strat?
My Squier is 7.4 lbs, and my Strat is 8.2 lbs
Black pickguards should be the only color for bright colored guitars.
Agreed!
What is the difference in neck feel between the two?
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.
That yellow is cool
I didn't know anything about Squiers. I came upon this used Squier "Standard" Srat. (not a "sonic") in a local music store. I loved it. The guy says "make me an offer". I had no idea what it was worth...so I said $240.00. Best two hundred and forty dollars that I ever spent.
Really great guitars for the price.
I recently bought a surf green squire sonic strat and love it especially for $180. But recently I’ve been looking at the squire paranormal offset telecaster in Olympic white. I don’t know how it plays but it’s one of the best looking guitars out there
Got my eye on a paranormal. Short scale neck and soap bar pickups. Might have to pull the trigger.
As a owner of a sonic squier id like to say its the best value for money guitar ive ever played sounds great and feels comfortable
Right. Great value.
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?
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.
Wow, sounds terrible man,,,,,,
lol, thanks for watching
@@maxaeonmusic sorry I didnt mean to sound rude.. its probably just your recording setup or CZcams!
I heard your music out of curiosity but it blows my mind I didn't expect it to be this good tbh.
Thank you. Kind of you to say.
Great video!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Not graphite, graffiti. No distortion?
I have PASM on 2011 Cayenne S and is awesome
Cool! I got the same exclusive site Squier, been loving it. Almost considered this set but that seems like a but much work for me. Looks like I'm gonna go with a Seymour Duncan set
Can't go wrong with Duncan! Enjoy!
thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Did anyone else not have any space inside the cavity of the guitar to put the battery? I ended up having to put the battery in the back of the guitar under the bridge plate (?).
If the pickguard fitment is an issue for someone they can detach all the EMG stuff from the included pickguard and transfer to their original one. Might help some guys with various year guitars or foreign makes.
MAN RE THE COLOR --------------- Its called "Graffiti" yellow NOT "Graphite" yellow man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Video though, thankyou
Yup, my bad. Thanks for watching!
@@maxaeonmusic All good,, great video,, thankyou
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!
So true. I'm loving it.
As the proud owner of a squire sonic I can confidently say its the greatest guitar I have ever played. I also say that as someone who is just learning to play and its my first guitar.
It's hands down my favorite guitar right now.
The name is Squier, not Squire 😊.
sick, now i can write an indie rock song!!
Glad it helped.
Thanks to the heads up! Great video
People absolutely bash EMG’s like mad but you really can’t fault them. Great clear modern sounds and no hassle.
I'm really digging these, and they are perfect for my application. I can get a variety of tones that fit multiple styles.
sonically little to no difference in tone between the two
Right. You'll never hear it in a mix.
Nailed it, thanks!
Thanks!
When Sylvester Stalones agent called Jesse James and wanted a car painted yellow, Jesse replied "I dont do yellow" ...lol. Squier is putting out some nice very affordable guitars! Squiers name should be Fender ll.
Looks and sounds great! You could put a battery holder where the hole is!
You can hardly notice that hole, from the front. 😅
Hardly lol. Doesn't bother me at all anymore, but felt pretty boneheaded at the time.
the black strat sounds better but you'd need a microscope measure the difference. very small difference.
My thoughts exactly. Thanks for watching.
LOL remind me to never let you work on any of my guitars.😂😂😂
I don't blame you lol
Bit too late, but you can just poke something through the little holes in the EMG connectors, pop the wires out easily, feed the wires through and reverse the process to refit the connector, no drilling required.
I thought about that, but I was worried I'd mess it up lol
I put a MojoTone loaded pickguard on a Bullet Strat hardtail. I had the same fitment issue with the scratch plate and the hardtail bridge. Apparently that hardtail bridge is wider than a tremolo bridge. I ground the plastic on the scratch plate at each end of the bridge until it fit.
I figure I'll sand it down with a Dremel eventually.
Don't sweat the hole in the back.....no one will ever see it anyway.
Right. I was really upset with myself when I did it. But doesn't even bother me now. Makes this one mine lol. Thanks for watching.
@maxaeonmusic Dazzle them with your playing and no one will care!
@@maxaeonmusicI understand your pain. I get mad at myself for similar things. On the bright side, you learned and the guitar is only $200
this is a banger🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Graffiti Yellow not Graphite Yellow.
Yeah, dyslexic moment lol
@@maxaeonmusic I knew the color name because I bought the same guitar. I ordered it the day after Christmas. It needed to be set up, but that is expected at this price. I played it for a gig last weekend and it sounded great. 🎸
@@pmrparts glad your enjoying it.
Squires Suck.
Thanks for watching.
@@maxaeonmusic lol if your satisfied with those. Try a suhr or a PRS SE Strat.. Wolf has a unbelievable super Strat for $500-$600 area. I’m sure the floyd rose on it isn’t the best but the rest of the guitar is awesome and the floyd rose is still a floyd rose. You owe it to your viewers and yourself man. Don’t be another Squire and Epiphone channel. There are too many better and more affordable guitars out there now. Epiphone has upped their game a little but I see a lot of other companies out there. Squires are crap. There’s too many better guitars out of the box. Squires do make good project guitars.
The regular strat rings out a little more. Perhaps the best middle ground is to get a standard squier sonic, upgrade to the 20$ Fender Standard Series Vintage term (it has a steel trem block), and deck / block it?
I upgraded it with a EMG DG20 pickup set. I've got a video on my channel. Sounds great.
Thank you for this info 👍👍👍
You're welcome. I always found it a little confusing on the configurator.
@@maxaeonmusic do you think sport chrono is important or not on the car to have ?? If you just want to cruise in the car and go on long distance trips ie 2,3 hour drives
@@stevey-nwas1230 What I love about Sport Chrono is the auto-blip feature on downshifts. It also stiffens the engine mounts slightly. 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.
@@maxaeonmusic thank you for the advice.... Am going to stick to plan A ie base model carrera 992 with loads of factory options ie pan roof,smart lift, sports exhaust system, electric side mirrors, front, rear parking sensors, leather steering wheel, sports seats, factory dash cam, fitted with pilot sport 4s tyres etc etc and I want 19 alloys on the front and 20 on the back.... Been told its a better more enjoyable ride than 20 on the front, 21 rears Have I missed anything else I need on the car???
@@stevey-nwas1230 surround view. Comes in handy with tight parking spaces. PDLS+. Good choice on the 19s. Little softer ride. Michelins are quieter than the PZeros and better performance by all accounts.
That package you got is perfect. Nice color, nice wheels, a few add ons like the sun roof. Clean and simple interior. Simple beauty!
Thank you. These are really special cars.
I love the modifications! I also got this guitar for Christmas and I haven't put it down and I own a lot of guitars. Definitely becoming a favorite and most likely not going to make any modifications on it. Set up was perfect right out of the box. Also I enjoyed your song a lot and will check it out on Spotify.
It such a cool guitar out of the box. Glad you are enjoying your and glad you liked the song. Thanks.
I ordered the hh version of the affinity strat not knowing that it had only a 3 way switch, my favorite sound is the fender quacky funky sound on the number 2 position. But I heard some one on CZcams and still got that sound just a little more rounded mellow. I like that yellow you have. Sounds great. I think I’ll like mine in artic white, thanks for the review. Subscribed
You could drop a 5-way in with a little soldering. Enjoy the guitar. Thanks for watching.
A short, concise video, this is how all videos of a similar type should look like. The song sounds nice, I can also present the whole album in that spirit.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I have installed a $1500 spasm spec upgrade on my 992 Turbo S, and I live in Chicago with lots of potholes. My question is, do I need to activate sports mode to engage the lower suspension, or is it automatically engaged at all times?
sPASM lowers the car and I think it gives you the stiff anti-roll bars as well. If you put the car into Sport + mode (if you have sport chromo), I think it goes into the stiffer suspension setting also. But the button on the dash will switch sPASM on and off no matter the mode. Sounds like a nice car. Enjoy it!
how about the string heigh? the same?
Out of the box it's not bad. Not shredder low, but a setup is easy.
@@maxaeonmusic How do u compare the string heigh to the fender american pro?
I don't know. String height depends on the setup, and can be adjusted to suit your tastes. How low you can get the action depends on multiple factors--neck straightness, conditions of frets, radius, etc.
@@maxaeonmusic okay thank you
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.
