There’s definitely an aspect of luck involved when buying a Squier guitar, as their build quality can be wildly inconsistent even among guitars in the same series. That being said, if you find a nice one of these it’s an absolutely enchanting instrument. I rarely put mine down and it would take one hell of a guitar to replace it at this point.

If you’re a fan of the Fender Bass VI, then I can’t recommend this instrument enough. When compared to the American made ones this ends up being about half the price while simultaneously feeling like a direct improvement of the tuning stability, and playability. My only complaint is the body shape. Because of where the strap is placed on this guitar it feels insanely top heavy and isn’t particularly conducive to playing live. I just use one of the old acoustic guitar straps that you tie around the headstock which solves the problem.

It’s a tuner. It’s accurate and easy to see the display on stage. I think where this one stands out is these are extremely hardy pedals. There’s a good chance the first one you buy will be the only one you buy for the rest of your life, and that’s what we all want in our tuning pedals anyway right?

I bought this pedal because of the glitchy weird sounds I saw it was capable of using the micro looper. It felt like I was paying too much for it, but I was enchanted by that sound and had to have it. What I was not expecting was that this pedal would also be the best delay and the best reverb pedals I own. With 2 writeable presets this is easily my most versatile single pedal and is a staple of a lot of our songs live/studio.

This thing has a very unique sound to it that just screams 1980s. The fact that it has drums, a rhythm instrumentation section, and the strum pad all tied to their own individual volume knobs let’s you really experiment with using this machine in a variety of ways. Plus, it’s so easy to play you can do it with your feet while playing other instruments making it a pretty robust instrument to add in a 3 piece band.

It sounds great for recording vocals at home and has a crystal clear sound that can be tough to achieve when playing smaller local venues.
