For those of you who dont know who the guy working in the store is. He usually plays guitar in Johan Segerborn's videos (the Marshall guy on KZfaq)

Congratulations Chris! Looking forward to seeing new videos with your new strat!🎉

Congratulations 🎉 you will never forget that day. One of life’s amazing highlights. The guitar is a beaut

That looks flippin awesome! A dream strat right there. I love my ‘64. Most resonant strat I’ve ever played. It would be very interesting to compare!

Happy for you, can’t wait to here it against your other strat and on the new songs on your next album, Cheers!

Congratulations, man! Amazing axe to rule the world with!

That type of experience actually can change a life for real. Enjoy Chris !!! May the road rise with you 🙂

CONGRATULATIONS 🎊

Congratulations Chris That’s one hell of a great guitar So happy for you 😊

Congratulations buddy!! That is sick!

Worth it! That guitar is magic. Not all vintage guitars are great, but you sure got a good one.

Congratulations!

Congrats! Beautiful guitar!

Congrats bro what a guitar to own . A beautiful pice of fender history as well enjoy her . Excalibur.

You lucky dog. You must understand how blessed you are. Most of us will never even be in the same room as an instrument of that caliber. Much less own one. Congratulations.

Well deserved mate, nothing is like a genuine vintage guitar

Wow. Congratulations Chris. Amazing. I am still on the hunt for mine…and the cash to pay for it.

3 months ago... I also purchased my dream '63 Strat. Nothing quite feels like an original even compared to Fender Custom Shop heavy relic stuff I have. Love and enjoy!

Dude that is killer!! That is a dream guitar to have no doubt! My Nash 63 strats are about as close as I can get to playing the real deal in a way but I know it’s not the same! Enjoy it!!

So glad this is in your hands mate, so deserved :-) enjoy.

Congrats Chris, what an amazing strat!!!

Dude that is a sick guitar! Enjoy it, you deserve it! little jealous of course.

Chris congratz man that thing sounds and looks amazing!! How does the sound break up like that around 5:19 is it the loudness or the drive or wut?

Its got that sound, congratulations 👏

Delighted for you - enjoy !

Beautiful guitar. Congratulations ✌️🤘

Very cool. Congrats, dude.

Awesome video guys!

Half the vintage ones I’ve played have been great other half not so much. But man that three tone with that killer wear has the vibe I think it’s a winner.

what a beauty! when is the give away deadline 😄? congrats Chris! A wonderful piece of history!

brilliant Chris well done

Chuffed to bits for you mate. Can't wait to see you tearing that Strat up on stage. Soon, hopefully...

The right guitar for the right guy x Great playing man 🤘

What amp are you running that through?

As someone who just bought his 63 inspired dream strat, congratz on the 'new' guitar!🤘🏻

Extremely cool dream Stratocaster - massive price increase since 1963 ❤😂🎸✨✨✨✨✨

Really cool guitar. I'm a huge Strat lover as well. 🔥

Nice playing nice guitar and mimi is fabulous

Congrats on your new vintage Strat. So beautiful. I missed out on a few pre-CBS Jazzmasters when they were reasonably priced and am kicking myself for not buying them. I have a AVRI 62 Jazzmaster which is very good but wish I bought the vintage ones. I also love Mosrite and have two vintage USA models and one Japanese model and had two Japanese models before that. Try a Mosrite if you haven't yet. Vintage ones are magical and Japanese ones are very good. I think in the UK they are not easy to find. I see in the video or the other video there was a Mosrite. Did you try it out?

A friends dad took us over to one of his war buddies house one time. Dude had a total man cave garage with a juke box and pool table and a full bar. I was around 13 maybe had just turned 14 but among all the toys in this guys garage was a red hard tail original sixties strat. I dont remember what year he said but i waaaant to say 62 or 63. He bought it new the year it came out. It was such an odd orangish red and now i know it was possibly aged nitro making it look like that.... but he was oddly laid back about letting me play it. Plugged into some insane tube monster fender from the same era that i had no clue how to get dist out of. Well come to find out just dime it out but that would not be an option. But even then i remember being in reverence and dude just being like "ah go ahead i never play it any more." So weird. He did make me learn sleep walk... the old guitar piece from the fifties i believe...

I’m happy for you ‼️

fantastic guys

Congrats

Hope it inspires you for years to come 👏

That's definitely my dream Strat.

I am so envious. sounds visceral! ROCK that guitar untill the frets wear down!

Sweet Strat Chris- OK I have to ask, what is the jam in the background when you guys are on the plane?

What is the price?

That is SOO AWESOME! 🎃

This is a great video!

Would've loved to have heard some crystal clear cleans. That's how you really hear it's character.

So you went to Gothenburg and didn't visit me for coffee? Next time mate! Congratulations on the super cool guitar, and great playing as always. 👊 Did you check out No.1 Guitarshop in Gothenburg? Another pretty cool store with a lot of vintage stuff.

Congrats on stunning axe good sir

I had a 63 Strat that I sold back in the '80s. That was a mistake. Hope you get the one with the B neck that's the best one in my opinion. Great guitars. Good luck with it.🙂

Chris, lets fuckin go!!!!! Well deserved. Looking forward to jam! Greets Ben

Guitar...the guys both .Awesome..

I own 63 original too. Mine with darker board and sounds more bassy.

Congrats! How did you get it home? Buy an extra seat on the plane? check it? ship it?

That scream in the beginning scared me

Oh damn! Well wear amigo!

What pedals are u using?

An actual, real life , foxy lady, playing foxy lady. Jimi would be proud…the guitar was pretty cool too 😎

Cool guitar..hopefully it’s one of the hood ones

I don't know about the guitar, but the amp and speakers sound FANTASTIC!! lol ;-)

Very nice guitar. It looks like it's been refretted with jumbo wire thank God. I wonder if the radius of the fretboard was changed? Hopefully yes from the 7.5 inches to something much flatter. Still a great guitar and has mojo . Very cool. I'm here in the states and if you want to see more vintage Strats check out Norms rare guitars in Tennessee. Very cool Strats. Great video guys. Great playing, sounding and killer looking strat! God speed! ♥️🤘♥️

"That's crazy look at that....!" (points to destroyed finish lmao)

Radius and frets?

Sounds like #1!! Any ideas who was the owner/owners?? ❤

Nice!!!!!!

I bought a '63 Strat in 1991 for $1750. It was swamp ash Mary Kaye and weighed a little over 6 pounds. Yes, you can cry now....I still do. Lol. Congrats!

How much?

Top vid. I can’t gel with strats personally but there’s no denying their greatness. Enjoy your time with it

how did you take it on the plane?

Simon shared a vid of that machine with me a few weeks back. Almost snagged it. Wish I did 😢

One minute I see you on here playing the "Lenny" strat,.....and the next,......a vintage strat. Lucky child.

What a fantastic video

Show off is the only thing that comes to my mind when i see you play.

...nice vid....a bit of advice from an old vintage collector.Concentrate on the new blonde not the old sunburst ✌️

What got stuck in the tremolo?

You deserve it 😄😄😄

I was also made in 1963. I sure wish young women got as excited about seeing me and all of my dings and scratches.

Oh my god!🎉

Needs a refret? Nice axe 🎸

I am sure Jimi Hendrix spirit lives in that guitar. It sound only tells truths. Amazing guitar congrats! I can write place right letters I am from Finland. So Borsen music store in Göteborg.

Congrats on your guitar… what an awesome day - buying a guitar with a gorgeous blonde…!

Congratulations! I bought my first pre CBS Strat in 1990. A '64 in Surf Green with Gold Hardware. I still have it. I went pro in 1991 and used it on 95% of all recordings and live Gigs. I bought my second pre CBS Strat in 2007. A '63 in Sunburst. Nothing beats the Original. Yours has the original Finish. But what about the Electronics and the Plastic? Maybe it's the lighting in the Video, but the Pickguard doesn't look like a Celluloid "Green Guard" to me. Is it refretted? And please be more careful with that Trem Arm. They will break. Use a new one and keep the Original in the Case. And you will have to learn to deal with all the envious persons that keep talking Shit about Vintage Guitars without ever having played one.😆✌

I had a Fender 1962 reissue strat

Chris👏❤❤

I've only ever played one vintage guitar. A 67 strat. Really was not impressed. Played nice enough but there was a certain something lacking. Ironically the best strat I've played was a 98 one. Hey each to their own. If they can sell em at crazy prices then good luck to them

It’s been too long since we have had a live video of the 63’

Nice axe

I feel like I just watched two 16 year old kids buy a $20k guitar, lol. Enjoy it in good health.

Now, refinish it & wear-it down yourself. 🤘🏻

Im envious I had a 1972 and was stolen 😪
