The volcano colourcaster is cool because it's geologically accurate. You've got your molten lava, the pick guard looks like a vesicle (a void common in granitic rocks caused by gas bubbles), and the green on the back could be olivine, or perhaps serpentine, minerals common in volcanic rock. Me want!

I owed 2 of those aluminum 40th stratocasters bought them in the early 2000s for $800 each a blue one and a purple one sold them years later fro $1500 each. they have a mid rang bump and the bodies are cold to the touch which can make them a shock when you pick them up not expecting an ice cold body.

@ericb7799 Жыл бұрын

Pretty surprised you didn’t even mention the Fender Free Flyte trems on both the Elite & Dan Smith era Strats where there’s no trem cavity route on the back side & the trem cavity & springs are actually on top right underneath the pickups/pickguard. The Elite also has a hidden dummy coil down in there too. As a tech all I can say is they’re a real PITA to set up, especially if you want to change string gauge from 9’s to 10’s or vice versa & you can’t even set them up with anything other than 9’s or 10’s. I certainly don’t ever want to work on one of those things again.

@peterjones4621 Жыл бұрын

Hi Austin, I was out for a while with health issues but I'm back and happy to watch your videos again. Your knowledge of Gibson guitars is astounding, you've got me hyped to buy a Gibson later this year, I'm saving up but in the mean time I bought a very reasonably priced and used Epiphone Les Paul Standard, it's a 1998 and it was only $450 from Reverb, the seller was great to work with. When I buy a Gibson I'll probably buy used because the new Gibson's are so expensive. You've got me into Gibson's so I'm getting ready this summer to take the plunge but in the mean time I'm sure I'll enjoy the Epiphone. Take care.

Salutations Austin! A lot of really interesting Stratocasters and Telecasters! My favorite entries from this collection are; the 2006 Solar Red Stratocaster, however, I might prefer, or recommend a transparent pick guard, especially if it is painted underneath the existing pick guard, as you had already mentioned, the entire canvas was painted, and why not show it all off, it may likely look great in black light as well, the Critter Jungle Strats are interesting choices for the monochromatic entries, both Moony Eyes Strats, the Salt Water Taffy Strat has a bit of a psychedelic flavor to it, the Boysenberry Yin-Yang also has a bit of a psychedelic feel to it as well, however I like the design of this one more than the other, but the colors work together, the 40th Anniversary Strats were very nice, I didn’t realize that Fender made any Stratocasters with aluminum bodies, and I have no idea how they sound, the 1988 Clapton Candy Green is an attractive Stratocaster, I also like some of the Bowling Ball Swirl Strats, however, it’s kind of hit and miss with the colors on some of them, and I definitely do like the 1963 Stratocaster, it’s hard to mess with a classic, my overall favorite is the 2006 Solar Red Stratocaster. The Rhinestone Prototype Stratocaster might be more appealing in a different color, or with a multi-colored finish, but it’s a bit over the top for my taste as it is currently shown. Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

I have one of those Elite Stratocasters. Has a strange trem and locking string system, but it plays REALLY nice! Looks like it just sat in it's case since new. It had a 12db mid boost that was the precursor to the Eric Clapton Signature Stratocasters. Takes a bit to get used to the buttons instead of the blade switch.

When I was first getting into guitars in the early 90’s they had a fender catalogue that had the Harley Davidson guitars, a playboy special strat, a leather stitched telecaster (Waylon Jennings maybe) and a paisley James Burton custom tele. I must have spent hundreds of hours staring at those guitars dreaming about owning them.

Am sure that someone has already comments on this but that Elite Fender Strat has a button for each pup (so you can play all 3 at once). It also has a hidden pup under the pick guard to cancel noise . Locking nut and a unique Bridge and tremolo. The Elite Gold Walnut came with gold hardware , ebony neck and a special ATA air case. Made mostly in 83 and some in 84. Check out the Elite Tele and Pbass Ii.

You could charge membership fees or a one-time ticket for entrance.

That 40th Anniversary badge is cool. It was, however, only applied to *right handed* Stratocasters Fender made that year. I bought a 1994 US Standard Strat that year, left handed, new, which didn't have the badge. Fender confirmed that they didn't apply them to left handers. No official reason why - I suspect it was because lefties can wait longer to sell, and this would date them faster...

Of the Fender Hellecasters guitar series, the Will Ray and John Jorgenson signature guitars always gets all the attention because... well look at them. They simply cannot be ignored. Pity Jerry Donahue's signature guitar doesn't get as much respect. Sure, it's basically an handsome looking Strat with a snappy blue finish. But there's more to this guitar than meets the eye. I believe it's really a Nashville Tele masquerading as a Strat. That might look like a Strat pickup in the bridge but I believe it's voiced like a Tele and even has a steel plate under the pick gaurd. The neck is supposed to lean more Tele than Strat as well. The wiring is supposed to give both classic Strat and Tele tones. Sure, Donahue's Helecater signature may not be as flashy as his occasional band mates, but I think his signature guitar holds its own.
