When you find your strat it’s magic…. I’ve owned many fenders over the years, picked up an American pro 2 last year off the shelf and strummed it, it hasn’t left my hands since… that 1st cord and I knew I finally found my strat, there were many others hanging in the shop, but this one was mine…. It’s hard to explain until you find yours… They are all slightly different because they are hand made, only a few will speak to any individual… congratulations on finding yours…

I’ve tried a few like the Beck one and the Mark Knopfler and the necks just didn’t feel comfortable. Got a 2000 Deluxe and it feels fine but it’s an HSS with noiseless pickups but fancy a SSS Strat-any suggestions ? Cheers and thanks for the video 👍

It was the same colour, with a birds-eye maple neck and gold hardware. I have one just like it. Mine’s a “57 Vintage” made in USA model I bought second hand in Australia in 1994 for $A1,500. Mine “barks” when on the bridge pickup. I treasure mine and I’m happy to read you love yours as well. Thanks for the enjoyable video

I built all of them myself from parts round-ups and attention to every detail, and now I don't even have to think about them except for string changes, and seasonal setups when the weather changes. There's a Strat, a Tele, and a P90 Les Paul, and between the 3 of them, I've got the full spectrum covered, and I can concentrate on the music instead of worrying about the instrument. It was well worth the expense and the time spent. Now I have fun instead of stress! Cheers, my friend, And rock on.

My main experience is with Gibson Historic Reissues. I currently have a black beauty R7, an bourbon burst R8, and an orange-lemon fade R9. Looking to add some fenders to my collection though. I love the way this fender looks though. Sounds super nice too. Great playing per usual.

However, I like the aesthetics of your guitar more than mine. The faded fiesta looks a little to light in color to me, and I would have preferred a bit more relic and a darker fretboard. I wish they made your exact guitar with the postmodern setup.

Great vid. Guitarists asking about pickups all the time is crazy, it is a part of the sound - but only a part. The truth is you play really well! You playing a great guitar makes it sound great - that's because you're playing it, and you know how to set it up, and your signal chain up to get a great tone. I had guessed that the radius was a bit flatter than vintage - that tone and a half bend on the high E string at the end of your C minor funk Quist solo would definitely choke out on my 7.25 Strat! ps - that's a tasty solo...

Regarding PUs and 60s cycle hum I did install Ulbrick NRS for silence with no tone loss!!! I have Josephina Ancho Poblano PUs and they sound warm and woody with beautiful clarity - I did put on base plate on bridge PU and it rocks!!! I love my CS strat and inspires me to play it everyday!

If it can help mine (master built JC, jescar frets, 2016), had to be refretted in 2020, with stainless steel frets (same size, jescar, pleked, mirror polished) and I’m so happy now! It doesn’t change the sound (had made an experience replacing just 5 frets across the fretboard to make AB comparisons before doing the whole refret and plek) but now bending a note is way easier and sustain is better too. Less string wear I also noticed. BTW it costed extra money to preserve the fretboard relicing)

[10:10] I turned my Strat into a hardtail by just placing a brass nipple inside the trem cavity in the back. It was very easy to do. I didn't even had to remove the strings. You Just have to find the right size brass nipple at the hardware store: in American inches that's 0.375 diameter by 2.5 length. In metric that's 9.5 mm diameter by 63.5 mm length. I got the brass pipe nipple at Lowes I think, or maybe it was Home Depot. I don't remember exactly because it was many years ago, but for sure one of those two stores. I had heard that Eric Clapton did it with a roll of quarters, but I think that's a myth because the roll of quarters has a bigger girth than the nipple I used, which fit perfectly. The length of the brass nipple was perfect too, so I didn't have to cut it either. I just pushed it in there and then I glued a thin strip of plastic in front of it to secure it in case of a jarring vibration that could dislodge it. For the strip of plastic I used one of the plastic guides that come with the CaseLogic CD sleeves. I don't know if they still sell those, but anything with similar dimensions will do. I glued it to the wood wall of the cavity with crazy glue. Here are a few pictures: photos.app.goo.gl/YcMFK5gPy7PzcSaDA This simple mod improves the sustain, of course. Hardtails will always have more sustain than trems, all else being equal. It also increases the volume of the notes a little bit, because now there is almost zero dampening. So now you can also get that "bell" tone like you get in a good Telecaster.
