    That pinch harmonic at the end. So badass. Dude, you’re becoming my favorite CZcams guitarist to watch. Note choice and phrasing is so different and you have a style all your own. 🤘🏻

      @@jessefildesmusicI always dreamed of having a blackie clapton strat, since I heard those vintage tones, but just can't afford, I own a player in the same colour config maple with the black ebony strat, it's a very great guitar, I feel with the right everything and setting's I can get such decency from the instrument. A blackie would cost like the price of more then ten player stratocasters.

    I bought this guitar in polar white this week. Boy how I’ve missed a strat! I did a lot of research before this purchase including comparing the performer and professional models. However the player beats them to the post where value for money was concerned and man I haven’t regretted my decision. This guitar plays and sounds wonderful, it exceeds my expectations. And more! Can’t go wrong for the price and clearly stands up to some of the bigger models out there..: why spend more money!

    Great test - appreciate hearing some proper high gain tones at the end. I'm toying with the idea of grabbing a Strat again to supplement my 7 string metal machine and give me something different, but still thoroughly capable of the chugs. Out of the box, this thing is already sounding pretty promising!

    I just bought the Fender Plus Top Player Strat, Blue Burst with 22 Frets. I was really hesitant on buying another electric guitar, but I'm seriously happy with my choice because of how Perfect the playability of the guitar is, mixed with some really nice tone options, AND the finish is sick. Nice playing 🔥

    They are gorgeous!
    The quality of MIM Fenders has greatly improved over the years almost rivaling American made guitars.
    I also own 3 other MIM Strats and they are great too!
    I am no longer a MIM snob!

  • @davidbarlow431
    @davidbarlow431 Před 3 lety +3

    I've just bought a buttercream SSS and couldn't be happier. The new Alnico pickups are a serious step up from the older standard series ceramics, which weren't bad, just a bit hotter and warmer than the "classic" strat sound. To put it another way, Fender have really upped their game on the Mexican stuff. My only minor gripe is the bridge saddle screws, they are really uncomfortable and will either need to be replaced or grinded down. I recently had a 50's classic vibe with the same style bent steel saddles and no issues with sharp protruding screws. Fender can can get it right on a Squier but not on a Fender - that's not on. Other than that, it's a lovely guitar and I would recommend it to anyone - go through the usual steps of getting a good setup, saddles, minor nut adjustments etc. and it's a guitar for life if you want it to be.
