- Hey, this is Dan Ellis.
In this video, we're taking a look
at the Squier 40th anniversary, Gold Edition guitars.
The very first instruments to bear the Squier name
were introduced back in 1982,
and in 2022, we're celebrating four 40 years of Squier
with this incredible collection of guitars,
The Gold Edition.
In addition to beginners, this collection of guitars
will appeal to collectors looking for a limited edition
to add to their vault,
hobbyists with home studios,
friends and family looking for the perfect gift,
or any player who's seeking the perfect entry
into the Fender family.

The 40th anniversary Gold Edition models
will all feature gold plated hardware,
gold anodized pit guards,
a gloss body finish,
and a natural gloss neck finish.
Each Gold Edition model has a bound
Indian Laurel fingerboard
with pearloid block inlays and white binding,
70s style headstock logos with bold,
block letter style model names,
and a 40th anniversary engraved neck plate.

We have three models in the series.
The Stratocaster, Jazzmaster,
and as you can see, the Telecaster, which I have here.
The Tele has all the same hardware features
and aesthetics, so let's hear what it sounds like

Over to the Jazzmaster.
Again, all the same great specs.
This Jazzmaster gives you all
the classic Jazzmaster tones,
but also modern tones that can work with
a bunch of different styles.
The guitar has the familiar rhythm lead circuit,
neck pickup only when the rhythm circuit's engaged,
that'd be the switch in the up position.
And then the lead circuit,
with a switch in the down position.
And that would be neck only, neck and bridge,
or bridge only.
