I personally don't understand the hate for worn in guitars. Years back, I finally had enough money to get an American Deluxe Strat and after living with it for a few months, I realized that I didn't like it at all. Too slick, didn't like the pickups and I was afraid to even play it out for fear of dinging or getting it stolen because it was so shiny and expensive. Long story short, traded it for a Mexican Road Worn 60s Strat at the time and I never looked back. I'm not saying that I think the prices of these Masterbuilts are justified, just saying that to me, pre-worn guitars aren't any different than a pair of broken in jeans or a used car. Sometimes you don't want to worry about it's condition and just want to play the damn thing without worrying about getting it sweaty, jacked up or stolen. In my case, the Road Worn was the perfect combination of comfort and price.

Ah worth is relative. The reason fender made these and charged what they do is custom shop sold so well and made so much money, and special editions sell and make money, so they’ll keep adding a tier until people stop buying them. The markup is of course huge - it’s way past the point of diminishing returns thousands of pounds ago. But in return they’ll always go that bit extra to justify the price. So is it worth it? Not to me at half the price, but so long as it’s worth it to someone they’ll keep making it, and then they’ll make a plus version, etc. until nobody thinks it’s worth it. Ultimately if you have the money to spend and it makes you happy… it can’t be that bad.

I would NEVER spend more than about $1500 on a guitar unless it was a GENUINE custom guitar or a vintage guitar. I’m at the point where I’m going straight Japan when it comes to fenders. Fender should’ve NEVER stopped making the American Standard instruments, they were EASILY THE BEST guitars for the money! Quality, price, tone, playability. Such WONDERFUL guitars. Even the new guitars are NOWHERE NEAR the American standards. I played the professional 2 and it was nice, but you could just tell there was a lack in quality and tone from the old standards and American deluxes. I hope Fender can bounce back and make wonderful guitars again for $1000-$1200 new again. The fact that the professional 2 is $1600-$1700 is OUTRAGEOUS.

For the people at Fender, it's all pure math. I seriously doubt they'll ever go back to the Standards. Without an occasional AVRI model, they push the more knowledgeable buyers that appreciate ''a real deal Fender'' towards the Custom Shop models. So, if one wants a ''traditional'' Fender, he has to part with $5000. Period. I too have a beautifully set-up Am. Series Strat with Lollars in it, (not that the stock pickups were inferior), and it's easily on par with the best of the best Strats out there.

Absolutely agree. This is happening in all luxury goods industries (price of a mid/high carbon road bike over the same time period: £4k - £8/9k). Obviously all in the eye of the beholder, but for me there’s a line around 2.4-4 for a really good teambuilt CS guitar and 3-6 tops for a perfect Masterbuilt). I own a couple of the former and got an amazing MB strat, which I love, at the bottom end of the old price range, and it’s a fab guitar. But turned my back on a Dale Wilson relic’d tele recently bec they wanted £8.2k even after discounting. I spent half the money on an SVL Supernatural and it’s a proper instrument. Once you get near 10k, might as well save up a bit more and get a player grade actual vintage strat or tele.

I used to be in the same boat as you! The main thing that makes these guitars incredible to play is that they have a "worn in" feeling. Like imagine if every pair of shoes you got just "felt right" as soon as you got them. Not the kind of "rounded fret ends and perfectly flush cut frets" kinda good, but the "this guitar is brand new but plays like a 70 year old guitar. It feels just incredible to play. I had the pleasure of "owning" a fender custom shop guitar for a brief time period and while initially I wasn't a fan of the whole "relic" thing, it grew on me because it just feels *right* in the hands. The thought and care that goes into making these guitars feel and play like they do is the difference between an american performer strat and a fender custom shop guitar. Hope that helps paint a better picture!

IT FINALLY HAPPENED! Out of the blue, you guys kicked into that first groove, which was truly a killer. After you started the second, though, something grabbed me and I reached out and snagged my newest acquisition, a Donner DST-400 that I haven't really gone to work on yet, but am instead enjoying the way it is before I do my stuff to it. This truly is the Golden Age of Guitar Gear right now. My feeling is that getting a guitar as good as this one is would have cost at least $400-$500 back when I was getting serious about the guitar and my band. Gaining the tools and knowledge to use them to do fret jobs and the setups that come afterward has probably already saved me hundreds of dollars, with many hundreds more to come. Well, it ain't ready yet, but who cares? I grabbed that Donner and just started playing along. I've never been pulled in like that before, but it's cool. I've still got the axe on my lap as I type. It always takes me a little while before I can manage to put them down after playing them.😎

So gloss is just more stable, and this is why its a thing for guitar's.

For about $1500 US you can get high grade components and build a partscaster and with a few days work have a guitar = to any (Masterbuilt) guitar. The excessive cost ISN'T EQUAL TO THE HYPE. There are some darn fine pickups out there and some pickup makers who will do some up to your spec for reasonable money.

@naycnay Жыл бұрын
As a hobbyist luthier, I'm going to have to make a comment here. Now, I don't think Masterbuilt Strats are worth £8K+, but you aren't going to get a partscaster as good as one unless you put in all the work to all the nuances. The amount of partscasters I've fixed/improved for people because ignorance prevails and guitars are not as simple as buying and neck and a body and bolting them together. There is also a balancing act to a lot of the electronics that is a step beyond the pickup choice. If the guitar is a little too hot, a little too bright or a little muddy, a) do you even recognise that and b) do you know how to fix it? Do you know exactly what you are aiming for? I mean, you can build a partscaster easy and it'll be perfectly serviceable and with care and refinement you can make it amazing. It can probably rival a lot of guitars in the $1500 range you specified. But without experience and knowledge, it probably won't be amazing. The nuances are what I'd expect the Masterbuilt Strats to nail, if I ever get to pick on up and inspect it.

I'm no stranger to custom shop instruments, I own 4, three from earlier years (2006/7 ish), and one from 2022 and they are miles better than what I tried in the store recently. I think with these instruments, firstly it's subjective, and secondly, I do think they can vary wildly, and you have to try a bunch and find the right one that sings. I would hope that the masterbuilts are less variable in that regard for the price. I've never tried one, and I'm not sure if I want to. That could turn into a costly bad habit. Edit: OMG that Landau strat sounds truly fantastic.

For $13,671.85 Canadian, there is no Strat that is worth that, unless it is a collector's edition for some reason. It is a guitar, not a cure for cancer. You could build so many beautiful guitars for $13k. JMO

I genuinely don't mind relic'd guitars, I personally don't think i would ever have one though. One thing i would say is that the neck wear on them is pretty terrible they basically just sand them from the 2nd fret down to the 11th.

However… the person playing them would tell the difference in less than a micro second!! I have 7 Strats including a few American Artist Series, American Original, American Ultra Luxe, American Pro, and a Vintera 60’s Modified. There’s not even a question for one micro second how much astonishingly better in every possible way my Fender Custom Shop Strat is in comparison and I’ve been told that level of difference is once again equal when comparing a Masterbuilt Vs a regular Custom Shop!

I've built guitars in my small home shop for 40 years, and played them for 50+. That's a good question about price. So, just some numbers.. Luther for 40 hrs @ $60, $2400. Materials, body, neck, hardware, pups, wiring, switches, pots, jack, $2000. So that is $4400. Then a case, shipping, profit for Fender, profit for Andertons. Fender's cut still has to pay all the bills, keep the lights on as we say, plus pay all the employee extras and bennies. Just thoughts.. Peace --gary
@naycnay Жыл бұрын
Just to point out thought, Fender will not be paying $2000 for materials. Like, maybe 1/4 of that most, but probably even less than that. They make most all the parts at scale and have wood bought at big commercial/factory scale. They buy hundreds of whole damn trees and have them processed to their exact specs. The masterbuilt wood stock probably comes from selectively picking the best pieces from the pile from the limited chunk of the best cuts... when small time luthiers have to buy that stuff at a premium after someone else has done those jobs.

Isn't time we moved past the relic discussion. It's been a thing for nearly 30 years now. It's just an aesthetic. It doesn't compromise the playability of the instrument. The only ones who make a big deal about it are those that have had an instrument and played it for 10-20+ years and have naturally worn off the paint and finish. Be proud of what you've accomplished. As for the price it's been shown the process is an art form itself. You're not paying so much for the look but the master builder "artwork" and those who don't understand art devalue it.

I recently picked up a Custom Shop 61 Super Heavy Relic black over 3-tone sunburst. It's ugly as hell and honestly the finish is nothing I'd normally ever really go for, but after playing 14 different CS strats--all being different, this nothing compared to the one I got. I am not a strat guy normally so finding one that really worked for me took a lot. Great video and tones. Thanks for posting as always.
