ano difference sng squier california series sa squier standard series?

specs, parts and materials used.

basically put, the California series is lower than the Standard series price wise and specwise.

[shodawmoon]

@shodaw: well its this

(photo from the internet but same model nonetheless.)

I know the thing about JVs tho I haven't had one, so I can't tell the difference between the two. But this is definitely a player. It's actually way better than an MIM but not much like my US Strat yet. Wood, finish and overall construction is spotless. Frets are well rounded. Flatter 12 board radius on a modern C shape. Vintage staggered mid-scoopy alnico Vs for the single coils and a really hot HB bridge - almost close to passive EMGs I could say. Like I said, the only thing I didn't like on this model is the OFR... and maybe the 500k pots too. But you can tell that this one's a modern strat, so ya. I've heard and seen the traditional strat model and the teles and they too sound and looks well - so much that they don't deserve the "Squier" logo on the head. haha

oh that one, I've actually seen a number of these locally and whenever I see someone playing one at a gig, I do notice a

distinct "tone" with these things, hard to explain really but I can say that I like what I hear from these things.

 Try changing out the pots with 250k Bourns then, you might like em.

Yung Squier Classic Vibe '60s Stratocaster ko nabili ko for P22,455, less 10% from P24,950, sa Yupangco Main Showroom (Makati) ko siya nabili. Tingin ko same pricing lang naman ang mga Squier Classic Vibe Series ng Yupangco, pero check mo na rin para sure.

Ahh.. Kamusta naman Sir yung guitar mismo? (Yung Strat mo) Sa craftsmanship and sound?

As of now, parang gusto ko nang dilaan yung gitara ko sa sobrang ganda Unang una ang ganda ng itsura dahil 3-tone sunburst tas gloss maple pa yung neck at vintage tinted yung headstock, mas mabigat siya ng konti kesa sa Squier Standard Stratocaster, wala namang mga sira or flaws, walang mga kinakalawang na parts or something else, no issues talaga, plus sobrang ganda ng tunog, vintage na vintage or classic na classic, masasabi ko talagang nadadama ko rito yung "Classic Vibe", grabe SWABE talaga! Para saken, siya ang best of Squiers (para saken lang naman, pero na-search ko na rin sa mga reviews na Classic Vibe series ang pinakamaganda sa lahat ng Squiers), sulit na sulit yung binayad ko. Tignan mo na lang yung pics na pinost ko kung di mo pa nakita yung itsura, tas kung nagbabalak ka bumili ng Squier Classic Vibe Series, pare GO FOR IT! Di ka magsisisi sa CV series, di mo aakalaing Squier pala yung binili mo.

  huwaw. noice. major GAS. ahahahaha salamat!

Goodluck na lang sa pagpili or pagbili ng gitara. Last tip ko na lang, stick to sunbursts dahil mas iniimprove pa nila yung "Classic na vibe" kahit sa panlabas na anyo lang. Kapag nag solid colors ka kasi hindi halatang CV eh.

Recently acquired a Squier Standard Black and Chrome Series, like this, from a trade:



So I guess I'm a member now. 

I'm planning to do some upgrades to this guitar. I'd post actual pics when I have the time.

bat po wala ang California Series?

[xky]

bat po wala ang California Series?

because it's officially discontinued. IIRC, the Squier California Series was made in Korea.

[gandydancer123]

kelan kaya magtatayo ng pabrika Squier sa pinas?

[nitroaurora]

baka daw kasi pag nagtayo ng pabrika ng Squier dito sa atin baka mas lalo snob-in ng mga purist yang brand na yan...

Yup the Vintage Modified Strats were made in India before but the series was revamped in 2011 and now made in Indonesia.
