Squier: \Squier\, n. A square.
December 5th, 2006That’s Webster’s definition of a “Squier”….or:
squire 
/skwahyr/ -noun
| 1. | (in England) a country gentleman, esp. the chief landed proprietor in a district. |
| 2. | (in the Middle Ages) a young man of noble birth who as an aspirant to knighthood served a knight. |
| 3. | a personal attendant, as of a person of rank. |
| 4. | a man who accompanies or escorts a woman. |
| 5. | a title applied to a justice of the peace, local judge, or other local dignitary of a rural district or small town. |
–verb (used with object)
| 6. | to attend as, or in the manner of, a squire. |
| 7. | to escort (a woman), as to a dance or social gathering. |
I’m diggin’ and wishin’ that definitions no. 4 and no. 7 applied to me, but for certain reasons, including the fact that I have an amazing girlfriend (Hi Honey!!), the word “Squier” means something completely different. Up until tonight it has meant sore and tired ears, sloppy bass solos, mistuned strings, and unhappy bandmembers. Yes, yes I have been exclusively playing a genuine, Chinese-crafted, one of a kind, original “Squier…..by Fender” bass guitar for RTG! For those that don’t know what a Squier is, it’s basically what you buy for your kids when they tell you they want to be in a cool band like Good Charlotte. It is SUPER cheap, SUPER basic, and SUPER shitty. If Gretsch is the Cadillac of all guitars, then Squier is the 1982 Ford Escort with 276,000 original miles. What can I say though? I love the piece of shit, and it was my machete in gaining entree into the band. And seriously, what is more punk rock than wringing the life out of a shitty instrument and getting away with it?
But all good things must come to an end, or at least be replaced by other comparable things. Tonight I have honorably graduated to an instrument that harbors no excuse for an unskilled player. I will be playing an Epiphone EB-3 (Gibson SG reissue) from this day forward. But to celebrate, and to properly pay homage to a real trooper of a piece of shit, I will play one last show with the Squier. Come out on the 16th to Mal’s Bar to see the final farewell to a humble yet loyal friend.
