john is completely transparent putting out these videos...and as Clapton says's "he is a master." If I ever reached this level of guitar playing I hope I would be as cool and open at sharing my gift as john is. He is truly one in a million. He had no choice in what to do with his life. The rest of us dwindle as to what are calling is. Thanks John, cant describe my appreciation to you. Talent like yours is tough is deal with, especially at a young age and has a very high price. You're a daily inspiration as to what I do for a living. The tones you find truly find my feelings. You have every reason to be confident, I would only say that none of us do it alone, and to acknowledge those that contribute to your success. No bigger fan, Trent

It sounds like shit and he's heartbroken... gets desperate and puts it into an environment with as extreme a temperature difference as humanly possible... it does NOTHING. No magical miracle stories. And it turns out there was FAULTY FUCKING WIRING on the custom, mega-artist-series for fender's posterboy.

Having the occasional bad solder joint or mistake is one thing, but shipping it that way is another thing entirely. That's what quality control is supposedly for. This makes you wonder if anyone at the shop actually plugged it in, because it seems unlikely (not impossible) that the wiring failed during transit.

@shechshire, yes, the Tele is known for "twangy" but it can do more than that too, that's why Kieth Richards,Chrissy Hynde,Joe Strummer and Graham Coxon use the Telecaster. I just think the Strat has a thin brittle sound to it no matter what type of amp you use.

@MK4vDubbin 3 жыл бұрын

It’s almost kind of sad in hindsight when you hear about how it was always his dream to have a signature strat and working with Fender was a dream come true. It’s too bad Fender became what it did in terms of working with artists. John said it got to the point where he basically didn’t have anyone he could call at Fender and it was like he was just some stranger calling a big corporation. They also weren’t really open to a lot of his ideas moving forward so he went to PRS who allowed him to do what he wanted. It seems like Fender has since changed for the better and a lot of their newer offering seem to be a response to what customers have been asking for years. The Silver Sky is cool but it will just never replace a good ol strat for me
