the hollowbody looks so cool

The best one is definitely 1972 fender Stratocaster. The Ernieball or strat 4 is probably the second best in my opinion. I really like it because of the vibes it gives off. Another close second would be the one with shotgun shells. I love the design and all of its other musical features. Also the silver sky gives me red hot chilli peppers vibes. I love the design of the ice blue guitar. Especially the fretboard.

I love the silver sky

I just like strats in general, they are just the best

I love your new vintage blue strat. Definitely a great investment from your part.

My first guitar was an HSS strat and I couldn't agree more

First and most likely only electric guitar for me!

@@tomm1413 My absolute favorite guitar out of the 100+ I’ve owned over the years was an 04 Mexican HSS Strat. It was a FSR model, (1 of 166) and had red sparkle paint with a matching headstock. Had to sell it because my VA disability wasn’t paying the bills, but man I miss that guitar.

Not entirely. There’s no humbucking neck pickup, so if you want to do shreddy leads, then you are kinda forced to have that strat sound.

@@Matthew_Klepadlo I never thought to use a humbucker for a lead, I personally just love the way a single coil cuts through. I use bridge humbuckers for rhythm primarily.

I would argue that the 1961 is the best version. The first Fender Stratocaster in Ireland and it was picked up second hand by the best guitar player when he was just 15 years old.

Nah the squire bullet is Better

Thinking of getting a g&l fallout myself They look gorgeous

@@lucadi-rito6193 I have an asat special. Definitely a great guitar.

Love my G&L American in lake placid blue with rosewood fret board and matching headstock.

G&L basses are great too I prefer them to fenders they are so versatile.

@@jaminpartanen9058 they’re absolutely stunning! Does it have a hard tail or trem? I

I’ll take this down if it’s misunderstood or offensive but with no criticism of Tyler, guitar for guitar, please, from a 30+ year player, if you’re ever in a position to buy something like that ‘72 Strat, do plenty of research. The ‘70s were largely responsible for the rise of the vintage guitar market altogether when players had to track down ‘50s and ‘60s Fenders & Gibsons because production was at such a then all-time low. Without getting into the instruments I’ve owned and played throughout life, it’s far better for someone to experience it for themselves. Take money out of the equation altogether. Passively compare a 1970s three-bolt bullet truss rod one to a pre-CBS ‘50s or ‘59 or ‘60 slab-board (big slab of rosewood). Then ask yourself if you can get the sound of the pre-CBS anywhere else. Realistically, you can’t completely, but you can get staggeringly close. Look into finding a good body and neck, and then upgrading tremolo block, nut, saddles, and seeing if you can’t find a luthier to adjust the neck angle and body joint such that you can get the truss rod adjusted to raise the resonant frequency of the neck. Go back and play the romanticized ‘70s Strat after that. It may not be so charming anymore. The vintage guitar market may well have done it to itself by pricing out anyone young and learning what an instrument can be, but it doesn’t change the instruments themselves. It’s far better experienced than heard on KZfaq or lectured to by a pretentious idiot such as I may well be called for saying anything at all, but it’s not about me at all. Just an encouragement, that’s all

@@SeanWeaver No offense at all Sean. Thanks for sharing all the details and your feedback. I bought my first guitar in 81 which I still own and another I bought in 83. But I've never spent any crazy money since it's just a hobby. But I've always enjoyed playing some of the older 60 and 70s guitars that I've been lucky enough to play. If you happen know of a good luthier in the Dallas area, please let me know. On a separate note, I've been considering investing in finding a new acoustic with that vintage Martin resonance. I've played a few over the past 40 years and always loved them, especially some of the older models. But they were always out of my price range. It looks like the only new Martin model that might fit the bill is the Authentic Aged line. Any thoughts on those or alternatives I should consider?

@@SeanWeaverwhat do you think about the 1978-1982 Tokai Springy Sound guitars in comparison to Fenders from the 70s or even the 50s and 60s Fenders?

Of course they are, i would say they are #1 at versatility.

Just use a hss

@@rafaelelmachs tele

@@rafaelelmachs 335

the one in my 75 anniversary Mexican Strat is flat and Tin can sounding.

I have one acoustic that I love and one electric that I love :) It's all you need!

@@cptvanier Same here! So true

You have got to be kidding. Tyler has dedicated his life to this. Have some respect. He's an incredible player. He has given me so much inspiration. Keep going Tyler. 🤘
