Mac started using less reverb and more chorus, and I believe this is when Mac really started to pick up speed and gained a large group of fans. The Next era in his tone was the early Salad Days tour, in which the Teisco would repeatedly break and would need to be fixed often times during shows. If you want a somewhat decent strat tone that can be upgraded for a good price then yes, a Squier Classic vibe is great for you, but it will not sound good plugged straight into an amp unless you are using a boutique or vintage tube amp with better EQ than the typical 3 band found on most amps. (I think that the safe for work stream and 2013 Pitchfork France performance perfectly captures this tone:, ) In my opinion, these were the good days and this band setup with the best tones no bullshit choruses and piece of shit Squier guitars (some can argue that teisco guitars were shitty but having owned both squier and teisco's all around, I can say that the build quality and tone-uniqueness is 3000x better than the squiers). Somewhere along the transition from MV to his solo project, Mac swapped the neck and pickguard but the guitar pickup remained the same (I'm going off of live sound not studio) with that slightly driven classic twin sound with a washy amount of reverb that weird and unique sound that originally got him his fame. His next substantial change was the 2 era. Sort of similarly to Jerry, Mac has had a lot of (subtle as the the changes may be) different guitar tones: His first being the Meatcleavers/Makeout Videotape raw, overdriven, garage rock tone using this type of guitar ( Vintage Teisco/Heit) and a vibrochamp recorded onto a CD-R burner. I originally posted this as a comment in regards to someone wanting a similar mac tone, but thought it would also make a good post.
