All user reviews for the Squier Vintage Modified Squier '51 [2004-2006]

Buy in February 2012 for € 150 with house, pickguard changed

The handle 51 is a telecaster with a body of stratocaster
Single neck pickup and bridge pickup double (humbucker) - only 2 microphones
A nice retro lock, good workmanship and design in relation to its price range.
Fairly light weight - the change is needed pickguard (poor quality of the original)

UTILIZATION

At the game, you have to expect you can do with a true telecaster: it is comfortable at stake in agreement, but the thickness of the handle does not help telecaster solo fast.

SOUNDS

The 51 appears to be very good for rhythm (better than a yamaha pacifica) and also able to solo.
It sounds pretty root and is suitable for rock / blue / jazz but also world music and pop.
It is effective for clean sounds or crunch (overdrive bonnne), on the other hand it is not made for large distortion (exit the hard, grunge rock and other very heavy)

OVERALL OPINION

This is my second electric guitar, I own a yamaha pacifica 812W (or 804W, I do not know)
In the end it satisfies me because I'm in a register crunch / overdrive and is not a fan of metal.
I think changing the microphone to make a real small one killer because it has everything a great!

Manufacturing Asaiatique, 21 frets, single and double coil microphone, switchable between them, adjustable volume, Tone microphone, neck telecaster type C-shaped

UTILIZATION

Channel telecaster type Pleasant access to the latest cargo is good, the weight stands as an SG has little prs, terrible form strato vintage, the sound is set with the micro switch or separate the two are good quality s, a made trs good for a small price! thank you fender squier

SOUNDS

I would say all kind of music I play on a small Marchall 2w but I tried on a ENGL Fireball patate.tous and what types of sound thanks to the Tone knob

OVERALL OPINION

A month of use, look terrible, the report is perfect qualitprix nothing to say, for someone looking for a low price guitar big sound and vintage look, c "is all it takes!

Squier is the entry level with the MODEL, so I guess its Asian manufacturing
22 frets
Two microphones: a simple oblique (Channel) and a double splittable (Raise the Volume button) in the bridge position
Micro configuration (the second button is a switch) Channel / Channel + Bridge Single / Bridge / Single Channel + Bridge Double / Double Bridge)
Fixed bridge (I think, I only use rarely trs vibrato and I have not checked)
Volume 1 and a Roto-Switch (adroute to beginners, but few guitarists who use their Guitar Tone)
pais handle more than Fender, round profile

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable despite its thickness
The acute and Access in the same as for a stratum
I tried sitting, it remains stable without dsquilibre
The sound is OK, without being transcendent: it was 5 with tonal possibilities carractres Marqus

SOUNDS

This is a guitar that incorporates the principles dear Lo Fender: Simple and effective
The blues is simple and twice more rock, which makes us versatility. APRS in an amplifier or a multi effect sound is primarily what makes electronic.

OVERALL OPINION

I just tried in the store. j'tais liked its looks, the micro config and price
The violin is trs correct, the microphones are somewhat common. report quality / price exclent.
This is a guitar that you can buy or Premire deuxime guitar and a microphone can change that long custody

See description below ...
Just for correction, the guitar is made in Indonesia.
There are 21 frets.
The bridge is fixed.
Micro Configuration:
Split enabled:
Channel / Channel + Bridge Single / Single Easel
Split disables:
Channel / Channel + Bridge Double / Double Easel

The content is rather Dement guitar for under 200 ...
And this unique look!

UTILIZATION

I find the handle very enjoyable (I would go almost up to say "fast" when you see ). He has against a round profile, closer to that of the buche Gibson Ibanez finesse. But that does not interfere with and grip is very good.
There is no key reports: the key is the handle!
The finish of the frets on the neck is okay (but good value). The cache of the groove it is the frets, rather bad ...

Access to treble is good (as a strat neither better nor worse).
This is a guitar very slightly with the ergonomics of a stratum (for bevel cutting the arm and stomach).

The varnish is finished (mine is cream color).

Intonation is pretty good vacuum (especially for the price).

This is the kind of guitar "you branches, you play."

SOUNDS

Be seen as a skyscraper is under 200, we will not find Duncans!
For cons, the microphones, despite low volume (comparsa of Gibsons, the Di Marzio or Duncans) are totally in the spirit Fender!
It's simple for me, the neck pickup sounds like a Start and the bridge pickup in a Tlcaster Splitt. The best of both worlds!
APRS, you add on top of a double that you can stand out on the solo if you do that in the pickups single coils or you will play a Deep Purple or Led Zep (for the Pantera, c is definitely not, do not insist ).
And you still have the combination of two microphones to exploit ... These combinations give very little sound heard with a Fender ... What a real personality!
Branch in a tube amp, I even bluff a friend who has had any hidden REFERENCE brand ... is to say that it sounds a bit anyway!

In short, in my opinion an excellent incurtion Fender in the world for a ridiculous price ...
Blues, Rock, Funk, Pop, Varitoche and even a little hard, it's done!
It also accepts trs though the effects ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have now for eight months and I always appreciate that! Of course it is not my main scratch but I always take great pleasure. I ride the volume of the amp and go!
I tried a result of the article in the mag Fender (4 I think). I do not think you could get a scratch with as much original as possible for a mere 200, so I went around with my seller prfr ... and I came out with!
In terms of price quality ratio, I would go until 11!
It is not that quite expensive scratch!
In case of theft, breakage, etc.. you redeem it without pb and roll youth!
A best seller!

For customization is particularly ... I find it so nice that I would really like to stick the "real" microphone, but it is the sound of the ones I like so ... on the other hand, it will cut Graphtec Nut and mechanisms worthy of the name!

Described below, nothing to add ... No default manufacturing for my part, I put 8 (it's not a Les Paul or a Start US either, but it's much better than other guitars of the same price range!).

UTILIZATION

I find the handle trs enjoyable, prcis, intuitive ... No problem of this ct l. Access in acute is good, nothing wrong .. The guitar is trslgre, if I compare my other guitars. For sound, well it uen guitar so just fiddle with knobs sles 2 seconds, and quickly understand the principle!

SOUNDS

Personal I'm pretty diversified in terms of style emus, both rock, hard, as reggae and electro ... And I play a lot of style with ... For the big sound is what aps the best, but the height of rglant humbucker can get get a very sharp ... The neck pickup is good, but not powerful enough I got, I will replace one of these four well ... The humbucker is trs exploitable position swith intermdiaire sends a good bluesy sound that j ' apprcie particulirement, and only humbucker, the sound is sharp trs I find, too, but even I got nothing dramatic ... We can play quietly Led Zep, both because of the variety ... I put 8.

OVERALL OPINION

I have also been eight months, also seen in the mag fender, and control the crowd. I really appreciate this guitar, I buy it back without hsiter because the report qualitprix normissime ets, you pay the microphones, guitar around is free! I like its ergonomics, its originality and its particular Squier ... Bravo!

Made in China
22 frets, one single & one double micro spiltable
A fixed bridge, volume and selector
A round handle well fender, squier version but ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable, but a fender style is "gross" size but it's not a good strat States, it's great for a Chinese

It is easy to use (no SETTING THE vibrato, y'an not) but is a bit slecteur amatiore (it should be represented with Spilt) but otherwise no problem me ...

SOUNDS

You can play with any (mtal blues through jazz, rock, etc ...)( me with a roland micro cube)

The ONLY problem is that the pickups are super powerful, but if not thanks to the split, we all play

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year and I am super happy, it was the guitar wanted more!
The report quality is incredible price for 160 euros a versatile guitar and no problem (no sleeves that move, floyd shit argl every 1 or 2 months ...)
I advise to beginners and those who want to buy a guitar but not CHRE Polyval and style Fender Start / Tele / Hurricane

_Fabriquée Indonesia
_21 Frets (large and poorly filed down the sides, but not death)
_Chevalet Hard-tail 6-Saddle (fixed bridge)
_Deux Knobs: one volume / switch (push-pull) for the dual microphone splitter, and a rotary switch 3 positions
_Manche Maple C

UTILIZATION

_The Handle is wide enough, very pleasant to my taste, a telecaster handle, ideal for rhythmic and not bad for the solos.
_It Must remember to file the frets on the sides of the neck, but apart from that detail the violin is excellent.
Start _access to acute, rather then good.
_L'ergonomie Of this guitar is excellent, it is neither too heavy nor too light, well balanced and very comfortable.
_on Easily obtain a good sound, it's a good scratch.
_Elle Has a mouth of hell.

SOUNDS

_The Sound of this guitar are perfect for my style of music (rock post punk / new wave).
_The Neck pickup has a fairly round and crystalline, it is a serious micro Strat. The bridge pickup has not split his genial, well-slamming, creamy I would say (the owners of Flying V will know what I mean). In split it gives a clear and crystalline, it Soufflot a little but nothing too serious.
_I Branch on my pedalboard Korg AX1500G that is connected to my mixer, and the whole lot on a 350-watt amplified speaker.

So here, the pure sound of a Fender Squier to 100 euros, which could be better? ..

OVERALL OPINION

_I Got it yesterday (bought on ebay for $ 99 USD + $ 55 usd for shipping costs), I update the notice within six months when I step back, for now it is my opinion on hot the beast.

_The More: [not "the" but] the sounds, the mouth, comfort
_The Least: the micro serious Soufflot it feels with a compressor, hmm there is no tone knob gene still a little practice but it would be good with an equalizer you can do without it, the frets are poorly filed and a lil stroke of varnish on the handle will not have been refused, but hey, it's a guitar Noros 100!

Price / quality ratio is simply amazing.

A super scratch, you complete beginners or you are a professional music with already a nice collection of guitars, know that the Squier '51 is worth a visit ...
I cracked myself and I do not regret it. If it again, I will not hesitate a moment.

- Made of Indonsie.
- 22 frets, a micro simple splittable sleeve + 1 double in bridge.
- Bridge spcial for the guitar without vibrato.
- A volume that also dert spliotter double, a micro slecteur.
- Channel type tlcaster, uncoated natural finish.

The double splitable is really a plus, the handle is comfortable trs.

UTILIZATION

- Channel trs enjoyable to play, the frets on mine are correct.
- The button to select microphones may be a bit far, but nothing serious.
- It sounds on.

SOUNDS

I think she may really suit all types of music.
I played on a Vox AD60VT, the sound is really good trs.
Personally I prfre with the neck pickup, but it is trs mat.
Report sound / price I put 9!

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 ½ months, and must Sparer against me the opportunity to buy the heart of the decade in my case.
I like the handle, unglazed finish is really comfortable and enjoyable eye. There is no vibrato so no worries of dsaccordage for beginners, it is well ACORD trs. His look, with its plate end of the vintage Fender basses Premire of 1951 gives an original look really trs guitar, for my part I would change to a set of aluminum.
At qualitprix report is the guitar I would recommend a beginners.
I'll spare against heart, but I did not really have a choice to change the guitar, if the opportunity arises Submitted I achter probably another hand in the future .
I put a good heart a 9 in overall opinion.

Squier, so Asian. More prcisement Indonsie.

Channel type Telecaster maple modern section C. 22 boxes.

Fixed hard tail bridge. Mechanical standard oil bath.

Two microphones: a splittable humbucker at the bridge and a single coil in the neck.

Slecteur rotary 3-position volume push / pull to split.

Missing is a tonal and a representative at the slecteur and would like t ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is incredibly smooth and rapid. It is at a US is to say. On mine, the frets are well finished and not salient (which is not true of all Squier 51).
The ergonomics are excellent! Normal is a Start body. Perfection so ...
This guitar is a real lightweight without ngative have an impact on the sound.
And gets you one easy to sound good, yes assurment. Even when we change the cblage. See my topic

https://fr.forums.audiofanzine.com/apprendre/mailing_forums/index, idtopic, 83053, page, 10000.html

SOUNDS

I mainly play genre Blues / Rock. It matches the use.

This guitar epitomizes the versatility! I think we can play with any.
The humbucker is pretty bitter with the larger one in the high LOI for example. The splitter allows you to find the sound of a single coil vritable moves away as if the sound of a single Start. The neck pickup on it Typ Start. Not bad attack and relief.
The combination of the two microphones parallle remember the sound of a Tele position 2 - the famous Twang included that my surprise we also find a bit with the double micro!
Being able to double the microphone splitter allows a lot of opportunity and if you change the cblage.

OVERALL OPINION

Nearly flawless for this Squier! The quality of manufacture is not ashamed to face a US. I would almost wonder if Squier plant was not on the selling price.
Even if it has no equivalent in USD or with other brands, is a skyscraper that (disregarding the Squier logo) is well worth qualitatively guitars worth three times its price!

I ask myself the question even if a change of pickups is valid on this guitar. Because I would be afraid to change his personality is she. Because yes, this guitar has the personality - although part. Both at the sound of her look ...
It will satisfy both the beginners as experienced players. A guitar possder emergency but unfortunately no longer seems to be produced in recent weeks.
So if you find one, throw you on it!

-Guitar made in Indonesia
Head-maple neck telecaster 21 frets
Fixed bridge, but with a little screw bridges unreliable
Start a micro-genre in the neck position, a splittable humbucker at bridge
-Volume and three rotary positions.Le volume also serves as the switch located in the bridge position humbucker

This guitar has a body of strata, a round of TV and a look of precision bass pickguard years 50.The big butts and telecaster style give a great vintage style!
The bridge is just sucks and I do not know if the mechanics take the blow after several years, but hey, € 150 on thomann, I put 9.

UTILIZATION

Super comfortable to play, light muzzle for washing hands, cutting the stomach. The maple neck is fine, not too thick, you can access quite easily to the acute, in any way, anyone who wants it will go well afford it.
Well, the frets hang a little but not well genant.Au worse, a shot of lime.
It has good sound easy, as long as is desired sound a bit "with the nose" with the simple position humbucker.Le simpa neck is also good but I'm not a pro in electrical scratches.
I put no note, I ca not find super useful for someone who wants to have an opinion, but I find this guitar is pretty nice utiliser.Comme black point you still have to go and point out the frets, mechanical feeble.

SOUNDS

I tried an electric guitar just for fun (I play bass "for real") and I just intend to play the Ramones and Wampas always with a guitar distortion that I will not fear leaving trainer and wreck.
To be honest I almost bought a harley benton flyong v Thomann before falling on full view in favor of this hyper squier 51.C is it that I chose and there, surprise: I'm not afraid of him of pets, but I'm surprised all the same to play without distortion pedal my vintage rat! And yes the pickups are really simpa, twangy sounds of the hum is actually usable.
Ok I play on my old peavey bass amp, but honestly that good squier sounds good, both in clear that distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days seulement.Je do not know if it will age really well, but hey I enjoy thoroughly.
I love his look, I viontage in blonde (and is already full of stickers and a little scratched, especially the pickguard, plastic soft enough, but jaime ca)
I have not tried one before, since I bought in a store I vpc.Mais based test, video, sforum short, I collected lots of information before m provide the scratch, and it appears that for that price, this is where it becomes more interesting as quality, this guitar has a more real personality.
The value for money is so good that I do not regret a penny of my purchase!
The Squier 51 is that of happiness.
Long live rock
amen

I rated this guitar when I bought, now with almost a year of use I will re-mark

Already in a good year, the character is not changed

Made in Asia it seems to me
21 frets, a single microphone to the handle and a double splitable the bridge.
Fixed bridge
In terms of microphones: 3positions + 2split
-Simple
-Intermediate (single and double)
Double-
Intermediate-splits
-Double Split
Channel C
1potart volume (which is also split)
Potart a micro
Note, no potart tone.

UTILIZATION

A handle that slides rather pleasant lot to my taste. It recognizes the style of Fender neck.

Access to acute is very simple (as a beginner take as very simple ^ ^)

This is one great original shape of the guitar (in fact the design of a low fender) that attracted me. For a guitar of this price, the finish is amazing, I 2TS in Sunburn, painting and nickel, and varnish the same, no complaints. This is my first guitar, I do not really know whether it is heavy or not. She is more than acoustic, but inevitably I find quite light, even if we feel it has some weight anyway (I have a friend who has a Cort and weight is almost half that: p) . Otherwise I would say that it is fairly well balanced.

For sound, I like to play a blank in front of my TV, I find the sound really nice. Once connected, it's as good or better. The pickups are good quality, although a few (too) low but hey we will not complain c is not a € 200 microphones. Sound hot to the solo is very versatile. A super skyscrapers.
NB: If you notice the small screws on the HB, they can raise this one, giving more or less sound. It's nice to settle the differences between the microphones.
The agreements are not too bad, but mine tends to be somewhat Disagree, and a wriggling strings from time to time. In addition, the small rope breaks constantly, so much so that I put a # 2 ...
Anyway out the price, we will not have the quality United States.

A big negative for cons. I think it's a chance, but mine had a manufacturing defect ... in fact the intermediate position was not working because the wire was soldered in place mauavais ... well after I look elsewhere and resoldered it works great. I put 7 because it's really something that my Soule. In fact I'm going to 6, because it's been a year and the volume knob would not at all, and the microphone splitter c is really boring.

SOUNDS

I like to play everything, all I hear etc, exept the black death metal etc ... not my thing. Otherwise a small blues with the simple, to Led Zep duplicate the beatles, the red hots, The Who, I am satisfied .... (1 years later I still am)

I play with a Fender Pro 1000 (100 watts) tube, I have not yet purchased effects pedal so I'll speak in terms of their set was the amp. In clean, sound great, no complaints. In fact as we do not pass well to the big metal villain (let) c is really good. I like to sometimes play with ACDC overdrive, the sound is really super super great.
Now I have a Zoom G2 pedal, the sound is fine, except that the low-quality microphones are a little too much background noise I think. It's sometimes boring.

The Micro's simple gives a warm enough as I said above, really good to play when a small dish or blues, etc ... a little like a stratum. The humbucker gives a very pure sound, style telecaster really powerful. The split was when one gives a somewhat lower but more crystalline, cool for solos. For the intermediary, the sound is really special and a very nice mix of stratum and TV ^ ^.

In fact, I really like the sound of that skyscraper.

A negative level of sound, but more because of the electronics I think the guitar volume set thoroughly, I have a nasty crackling in the amp, c is a shame. So I is not 10.

OVERALL OPINION

I play with from 1 month (now 1 year)

What I like most, I like everything really. As against a negative for the knobs, not much has changed in practice "live" (so c is a big word ^ ^) and a bit of dificille access.

I play guitar with my friends, but most can. Otherwise I played (a little) acoustic.

Level money, I think c is the highlight of the guitar, a super skyscraper for a really low price.

I selected this scratching especially given its low price tale of his abilities, not really sure I hung the guitar, so a small investment to give up with a scratch of € 1000. If I have a budget - € 700 (for the guitar only), without hesitation I resume. (1 years after I realize I'm still not ready to put in a guitar and around € 700 I would do even if that choice. My friends were all amazed that the scratches cost only € 177. I think it's a sure bet for a beginner)

See more comments dcrivent well beautiful.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable, has its own slide!
I do not like Access in acute, but still accecible.
Level is perfect ergonomics, it is lgre (too? From an LP anyway), the finishes are perfect on mine.
Upgrade its word, it's great Polivalente (but not for the metal of course).

SOUNDS

Ideally suited my style of music: Rock the 60's and 70's and Blues.
I play on a Harley Benton GA5 amp (5W all-tube), a rev sounds really good and I have a standard palette of sound.
The crystalline sound is not his strong point I think, but I never really essey to have one. (And an all-tube amplifier type A is not really easy to have)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months (almost a year since I have but a few months that I made is really is my Premire guitar).
I love to train, color, race is really perfect, its weight, a sound, a quality production, I like everything about it!
MODEL I essey of higher-end type LP (epiphone), I prefer it. (But not really play in the same register)
The report qualitprix is ​​unbeatable! It is worth more than a!
With exprience, I would do this twice a plutt choice, it's really a wonder that scratching.

- In which country was it made? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)

It's an Asian.

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?

2 microphones ... splittable with a double.

- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?

Fixed bridge

- What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?

1 volume and a micro switch, plus a splitter on the volume knob.

- What type of race?

Type telecaster ... Moreover, you beginners, who are rehashing the ears it's a great guitar ... then try before you buy ... telecaster type sleeves are sleeves "men" ... if you are comfortable with the curvature and thickness ... the handle is very correct ... in the opposite case, change of course

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?

As for the playability, I would say yes ... it glides well ... squier 51 met some concerns at frets a little catchy ... this is not the case with mine. But one thing is heard .. this is not a handle to shreeder

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?

Access to acute is very correctly.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

Yes, the ergonomics are very correct ... What the fender

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...

There is less obvious ... First, a good sound is achieved with a good amp ... is the pair guitar and amp makes the sound ... and "good" is his fingers that makes the scratch! lol!

In short, for me, is a skyscraper that can do funny joke in the books punk rock and co. on the other hand ... after, it's really limited ... for the ears.

In short, I class in the correct but somewhat better ... is an upgrade to seriously consider who does not support strudents acute ... imbalance low / medium / high (just not the same level) in certain positions.

When you send mashed ... it quickly turns to mush if only one starts a little to get him into it ... for me it's really an extra guitar for some songs with an original look

In clear, it does better for me.

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?

Yes and no ... it lacks accuracy ... is "broken" quickly ... When I look for sounds a little rough stripping, it meets my need ... but when I want accuracy and stripped ... there it is full bench

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

I rarely play with effects ... I plugged into a koch Twintone II and from time to time on Fender Princeton Recording All these small flaws (which are its charm from time to time) are amplified in the amplifier! lol!

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

See above ... in saturation, we come quickly to the boil disgusting with the acute tear your ears ... better equalize in this case.

In the clear ... Some positions are particularly surprising in the register of serious (not found as accurate in saturated oddly?). No Mlal of this side.

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

See above:

+ Clean sounds
- Distorted sounds

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

For over a year.

- What is so special that you like most and least?

Originality ... it boils nice

Its more than mediocre finishes (at the same time ... at that price should not expect miracles). Microphones as his rented ... that with hindsight are very limited SPEED.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Yes ... lol! For some years now! lol! Not comparable)

- How would you rate the quality / price?

The purchase price of nine at the time ... it was less than 150 euros in Germany ... new and some French mag.

Today, secondhand, better buy abroad where people have a conscience more honest on their hardware ... because when I see during the original Squier sold more expensive than nine ... I think it really speaks to the spirit franchouillard always ready to gorge themselves on the backs of others)

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, I would do ... at the right price ... ie 150 euros new at the time.

When I vosi current ads ... I encourage all readers of this notice to think twice before buying used a Squier 51 200 euros because believe me, at this price, occasion, there are two times better

My overall rating for this guitar is very honest of 6.5 / 7. The four-star general and half seen on earlier opinions again demonstrate that we really need to be wary of opinions on AF, including mine

By the way ... to get rid of blatant partisanship found on this site ... I encourage you to try before you buy ... The counselors are not paying

PS: for info ... For me USFI 51 in perfect condition (and I mean perfect) is the best 120 euros ... beyond, it must be justified by an upgrade done properly

View more opinions ...
Guitar bought in 2006 149euros .. what we see is its main advantage ...

UTILIZATION

The handle on my model is "limited" at the finish, especially on the fret board that hang .. if the handle is relatively pleasant ...

SOUNDS

The sounds are very average ... the neck pickup is my sense of exploitable 2 twice .. still quite rough and lacks DEFINITIONS ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar to play "run" with me .. I love his look and I would like this Squier Fender 51 is in declining the o there would be a violin and a kit microphone is srieux ... I find it very difficult to compare my other guitars (cf Gibson LP) ... qualitprix the report is good but not great as some reviews suggest ... remained the main attraction is its look original and cool ...
