I much prefer thin necks and wondered if the people who prefer thick are doing it for tonal reasons since I found it surprising anyone would prefer the feel of thicker.
It could be that he was frivolous in his choice (basing it on colour) and only really cared about neck feel and setup because from his position as an expert in the field, he knows that all the online speculation about tone voodoo is mythical.
On the other hand, he might not have cared much and not taken the video seriously because he knows no Squier is going to sound that good so was just demonstrating how he'd choose the best of a bad bunch.
Could even be an advert to make it look like all Squiers are great, you just need to find one with the specs you like.
I think, in the age of professional Youtubers, it's very difficult to trust anything they say because it's so often a paid advert disguised as advice.
One of my favourite Youtubers, Tim Pierce, made a video about how the String Butler device does such a great job of fixing the tuning stability problem on Gibson guitars (a problem he's mentioned he has with his many Gibsons plenty of times) yet since that video, he's used loads of Gibson guitars and none of them has had a String Butler on it. So did he later find out they don't really help that much after all but just not bother to update the viewers? Or was the video itself just a paid advert?
if it's lively unplugged and rings unplugged it's a good un...or am i hearing things ????
Seriously, he’s chosen the cheapest guitar as his favourite. Goes to show it’s about the right guitar not the most expensive
I always try to be careful of internet hype, though do go with it sometimes.
I think sometimes it becomes a standard of knowledge that people then repeat to feel knowledgeable. E.g. someone saying the classic vibe is so great.
Not saying hype is never justified, I bought the Bernie Marsden due to hype and it really is amazing.
Just saying that if you see 50 forum posts saying the classic vibe is amazing, 30 of those might just be saying it because they read the first 20 and accepted it as established knowledge.
The fact that the CV came third of three and the cheaper guitars got the nod was the best part of the video for me. A refreshing take.
