AMOY: Squier Sonic HT H Guitar Unboxing and Review. Cheap doesn’t mean junk!


I have a thing for cheap guitars – at $200 this falls into that category. It’s a great deal though. Excellent guitar for beginners and pros. This review is right out of the box!

  • Firstly, I'd just like to say that you play beautifully and your Lynch like tone is divine! I'm still shocked by how awesome this so called cheap lil "beginner's guitar" is. I bought the SSS HT version in Torino Red for a joke. Didn't need any fret work and the nut was slotted perfectly. It has quite a chunky C neck too. I tweaked the truss rod, lowered the action and got it playing with .60./40 action with no fret buzz or dead notes anywhere. The hardware works perfectly and I still can't find a single thing to complain about. It's actually so much fun to play and it's tonally perfect for what I do, it's left me wondering why I'd spent thousands on higher end guitars. I can fly around on this Squier model effortlessly. It really does live up to the hype

  • I´m still watching review videos on Squier guitars, and read some comments talking about guitar condition being a disaster. I´ve seen your unboxing and review video and decided to buy me this one pink HT single humbucker one. And also im living in Germany, i got the same condition. Guitar was ready to play from unboxing, just tune the strings and go. Great fretwork, no optical mistakes or bumps, neck is pretty good, actually amazing for this price (i got this guitar from thomann for 169 € , ca. 180 $) if i read comments on "cheap" guitar reviews, it seems that people expect way more from cheap guitar as from fender or gibson, and yet some guitars are truly overprized , you can get a really bad Fender Player for almost 1000 bucks, and nobody is talking about that. but same people are screaming when they get untuned Squier…

  • Great video, Keith! After watching it i decided to buy one. So, i was watching your channel lately and I´ve noticed that Sonic is hanging behind you at the wall, have you already put new humbucker or did some modding work? (sorry for my english, i´m from Germany). I waiting for exact same guitar it will arrive next week, i plan to mod this baby, so i got new bridge, locking tuners, EMG81 humbucker set, locking tree, knobs, jack plate, strap buttons etc.

  • It's too bad that the guitar doesn't come in a white color with a black pickguard and a laurel fretboard (I call it cheapo rosewood!!! LOL????)!!!???? If Squier did make one!!! I'd buy it in a heartbeat!!!! It would be my cheap skate Jake E. Lee "Whitey" guitar!!!! I would spray paint the headstock white to match the body and buy Schaller tuning pegs and a Seymour Duncan JB and a 500k volume pot!!! To modify the guitar!!!! ????????????????????????

  • Looks and sounds killer. A solid 7/10. Btw, Gretsch has the best packaged guitars, imo.

  • Does the bridge have holes drilled in the bottom so you could turn it into a string through if you wanted?

  • When you touch the metal and it stops making that sound, it means the grounding works

  • I just ordered one in blue (not into the pink one), as I'm looking for a hardtail to modify. I had a Squier Bullet with one humbucker (and only a volume knob) from the early 2000s and loved it. I guess my big decision will be how much to modify it, as it sounds like it's pretty good right out of the box. My current plan is to shield everything, change out the pickguard to tortoiseshell, and go with just a volume knob. Maybe switch to another pickup if that's too harsh. I play in a punk band and want the big, stupid, no frills power chord sound. Hopefully this will do the trick.

  • I put a decent HB in a beat up old Strat copy I had, and I have literally just bought one of these. I'll put those upgraded electronics straight into it and be rocking!!!

  • I totally agree, it's a great deal! Looks good, plays good. With another humbucker (SD invader) and new hardware, you got an equivalent to a $1,000 guitar. Thanks, Fender and thanks for the video, Keith!
