I'm impressed by the stuff he noticed is different and how he had the guts to call it out.
brando was gay but your right.
I'm not surprised he painted it red every one wanted a fiesta red strat in the 60s you can thank Mr Marvin for that.🎸
Its got to the point that whenever I see a 60's red strat its more often than not a vintage refinish. Fender made about 2000 red ones in the 60's and only about 15000 are extant.
What color was it before I thought it was stock....
The way you Handled & played the first piece was all Love & the feeling of handling something of high value now.It did however sound Amazing. Thanks Neuville.
My favorite look of a strat. That red. The yellowish plate und PUs. The dark fretboard and the yellow head. Perfect
Got to be one of the best sounding strats alongside SRV's!...but its Gary that made it soar to the next level, my ears are still ringing from him playing it on the victims of the future tour, we miss that man! 🌟🎸✨
Martin Kilner The tone on “Murder in the skies”! Meanest Strat tone ever.
Nev is such a gent I love it when he gives a piece of kit the once over he is honest and very well genned up on all things guitar.
Same Guitar, but different story. Gary, you’re gone, ma not forgotten. Master and Legend.
Great review, great guitar and even greater Mike Ehrmantraut makeover.
Guys, stop spending thousands of dollars to buy "replicated history".
Just spend 600 dollars and make your own.
Let em go man. What ever makes people happy. If a guitar vibes with a person who are you to say they can't have it.
You just don't get it, and never will. So this really isn't an argument, just a statement.
guai a te Christianairte xD
Giuseppe Emanuele De Musso :D
I think old well-loved Fenders look nifty, and the replica sounds more sterile and has less warmth and ring to it, but it would improve over time. Strats are a great basic design whatever you do, build your own, hot rod an old Made In Japan model, whatever. The voice of the guitar and the music it inspires you to create is what counts.
Great playing, great guitar, and great tone...can't beat that.
Everything, top shelf, class presentation
Hi Neville. That was a beautiful presentation for this wonderful Guitar. We just received our Gary Moore replica John Cruz Custom Shop Strat a week & a half ago. I just uploaded my video as well. I've added in a link to this video of yours as a Card because I really enjoyed this so much.
Best regards,
Jason from Ishibashi Music, Shibuya in Tokyo, Japan.
Great video and great playing! Thanks for doing that!
Oh my lord......what a lovely pair of guitars. Hat's off to Neville for making them sound so cool.
Anything with John Cruz's name on it is wonderful. I love it.
Have a 93" AVRI 62 in Fiesta red , bought sight unseen and needed a shim, the previous owner had had the guitar planed to 9.5 radius and jumbo frets put in. Was a basket case when bought with the wrong Graph-tech saddles installed. Original 57 62 pickups. Needed a polish and grind and went back with the original bent steel saddles. Paid 1100 for it and put 400 into it to get it back ship shape and anyone who plays it asks to buy it. Have several strats including an EJ Thinline blonde. This guitar is the last strat would ever sell. Bought it because I always loved when Gary would play his . R.I.P. Gary, gone but never ever forgotten.
Gorgeous. Great playing too.
Damn, that's beautiful. Especially that faded-out Fiesta Red. I'd just about give my eye teeth if my pre-CBS Fender basses that I currently own were a custom color like that. I've ran into plenty of pre-CBS vintage stuff here in WV. But, honestly don't recall ever seeing anything in a custom color. Even as a kid, when my parents purchased my first bass, a pre-CBS P-Bass from my cousin, back in the mid 1970's. They've all been sunburst, or natural, with my mid-70's J-Basses.
I did an interview with Gary in 1984 - this guitar was stolen by British Airways for a while and eventually returned
Dodgy customs dude nicked it and got cold feet and put it back.Same happened with Rory Gallaghers strat circa '70's it was ditched in a ditch after being on Ireland's crime watch.
Wow. Amazing that you can even compose yourself to play such a mystic artifact.
Man, you are the Best review guitarrist i ever seen!!!! congrats, keep rocking
nah he's a hack player and he can't even do a fair AB. He started on the neck PU of Gary's and the replica wa son the middle pickup
Folks... He is good to produce nice tone, I dont wanna know about the history, or about the musical skills... I just need the pure tone of a guitar or amp, cause I use that to make my tones..... Thanks
yes that version of red house was phenomenal
I got really emotional when I saw the original feeling that Gary should still be here to play it.
How I would love a replica of the Great Gary Moore RIP. Loved seeing him play it on his J Hendrix tribute on Blue ray. At 45 on military pension I don't think I'll be able to afford such a guitar that I would play so much through my fender 65 reverb reissue. Any donations from Fender my hand is up. A custom shop Gary Moore what Moore lol can you ask for. Yes I'm a fender nut. I would just love to own something so well done. It's reissue needs to be played not just on display but some great Blues/rock. Please please.
I love this video, but I also spent all of it hearing the theme from Arthur in the background after the first 30 seconds of the intro Neville played.
The flight case reminds me of the one that came with my Roland JX-10 synthesizer. (Lord, I miss that thing!)
I love those chops
Thanks for the nice comments on the demo, everyone. It's not for me to go into the rights and wrongs of prices, or the Relic debate in general; everyone is entitled to their view on such things. But it's lovely to be able to show you guitars like these, let you see them up close and hear what they sound like. Hopefully we'll get some more 'famous' or historically important guitars to show you. In the meantime, keep watching! Nev.
Neville Marten can you whisper sweet nothings into my ear while playing cascading dolphin noises on the synthaxe so I can sleep without nightmares of Jennifer Love hewitts ghost whisperer, Neville?
I Think you did a Good job on showing this guitar from heaven, and offcourse Everyone can Think what they want of relic a guitar (as the custom shop one) but i was somewhat against it before. But then i played the Rory Gallagher strat and my feelings completly changed. I own myself the customshop el diablo relic strat. I have never been so much in love of a guitar. The sound, the feeling it is so great. now i really like the relic thing. I Think it is beutiful to my eyes. But everyone can Think what they want, it is ok. Good we dont Think the same, the world would be so much more boring if we did. And again great to see Garys wonderful strat up close. A piece of history :) have a wonderful life :)
Neville Marten I love it when people shut down trolls with logic and politeness! Great review!
This was awesome , do more of these !!!!!!!!!!
Have you done the Rory Gallagher strat yet Nev?
Cheers from Tel in Texas.
Great post, what a guitarist and what a guitar... thanks
Man, I miss GARY MOORE. One bad ass on the guitar !! sweet video, sweet guitar.
Gary played Jimis red house with the same strat at fenders 50th anniversary.. what a legend.. RIP
love Gary hey! my Dad was in school with him,My Dad sings well,yes ausome guitar
So cool that you have his actual guitar
Very nice riffing.......love the "salmon pink strat"... the faded fiesta red
Great playing.
Tremendous player. Great review
That was other worldly, Neville. Thank you.
Nevil great work Man!
sounds fantastic and incredible playing as well
The red under the fiesta top coat is Dakota red- there are many 61 fiesta red strats exactly the same
Great video and great read!
Need to go out and find me a fiesta red strat!
had a japan made one..just refinished it in sea foam green
I don´t care how iconic it is. It´s pleasuring enough to know that certain guitars like Peter Green´s 59 Les Paul or Gilmours Black Strat has featured on several classic recordings. But ultimately it´s the player. It´s just a guitar when the players who owned them pass away.
What an amazing sound damn ! Really underestimated
WHAOU !!!! It should be so affecting and sad in the same way to have THE Gary's Red Strat in the hand...I would be paralysed...
Your video is really sweet and respectul of Gary's instrument and memory...
AWSOME !!! RIP Gary.
I thought I had come across an interview with Gary, and he had said the guitar was in a flood in his home while he was on tour and that is what caused the color fade and the tone after he had it dried and rebuilt...
I wonder if the brighter paint under the forearm isn't just caused by the polishing effect of the buttons on Gary's jacket (from '90 onwards he mostly wore a suit on a stage) if you look at Blixa Bargeld's mustang it has the same thing only in Sonic Blue. The 'knife marks' are due to the buttons and Gary playing hard.
The 'relic' effect is an art form in itself, like an abstract painting, I think it goes far beyond just trying to make a guitar look old and fakely well-used, in fact for me it adds 'mojo' and makes you want to play in a certain way. It's also not unlike the swirl paint effects you get on some rock guitars, each one unique.
It also helps you relax when you gig, and leave it on stage without breaking a sweat, instead of one of those bright almost-too-pristine PRS's etc.
I bought a medium-relic Tele body about 6 years ago, nitro-finish lets the wood breath far more, and a good 80% more wear has happened since then from me playing it, it just had a head start that's all.
Beautiful guitars, RIP Gary.
I remember playing the "John Entwistle" Fender 62' strat and having the immediate feeling on such a beautiful slim neck, exactly as neville said here with gary's, does anyone know why this is as id love to find the same strat, it was 4 years ago and i can still remember the impact and how it felt, just awesome, also would this be the same for all 62's ? Reissues?
Me personally would never waste money on a "relic" or "copy" instrument, but it does sound great!
I know pretty much everything about that guitar but the most exciting thing was to see how Gary set the Boss distortion pedal that by the way sounds amazing for weak single coils.With humbuckers those pedals doesnt even work its just a blur.
Friend, theres a lot.of review players in the Internet, but no doubt youre the most elegant player and acurated, simple the Best!
If I would be able to spend 12k on a guitar, I wouldn't buy a new one. For that amount you get a refinished original 1963 stratocaster.
but a really great demo.
I've buy a 62 original refin strat for 4K!! the bargain of my life and I'll never part with!!
roland pouilloux fucking when was this!!!!
He actually bought it in 1963, but don't tell him he got ripped off
lptomtom hahaha so good
@@thefenderfanatic974 hey now
So respectful. Thanks.
I saw Gary 3 times and he always played a Les Paul at each one. Did not know that he ever played a Strat. This one is Sweet, love to get my hands on one.
peter golding He was big on Strats in the 80's
Probably the best gig you'll see of him, live in Stockholm, you'll find on here and he plays the red Strat for most of the gig
Beautiful guitar!!!!!
IN Australia 2 brothers the Dekroo bros imported Fender guitars in the 60;s without cases + all sunburst they had cases made by Stanford at Chats wood Sydney +painted the guits mostly red I guess because of Shads I have a 65 L it was blue over red over sunburst I managed to scrape the paints off to the laquer then buffed it .came up great I was thinking maybe that's what happened with Garys strat could have been in Aus
Nice playing Sir.
Cool guy is Nev and a tasty player.
The original red strat has a great feel to the neck. Plays like butter!
"You never give me your moooooney.." Lovely playing Nev
adamwebb241 sounds like, but its not!
really? do tell...?
I think Nev is playing Parisienne Walkways
Fiesta red was a popular color due to hank marvin, so a lot of sunburst strats got fiesta red over them.
Gary was amazing. Rest in peace
I read somewhere that the first strats imported into the UK were repainted red , as someone thought they hadn't been painted properly and needed finishing off before the were sold. if this is true, it would tend ,at least partly , to confirm Gary's strat was originally sunburst .
Interesting.
R.I.P Gary we miss you !
This is the SynthAxe demo guy! :D
Amazing
Not much a fan of reliced guitars but still that is a nice strat... great video too.
My favorite color plus I'm intrigued by the slimmer neck.
I'm not a collector so 12k is just ridiculous to me.
Wouldn't mind seeing a production model of this go down just to see how everyone digs the neck profile
I remember this guitar from Still Got the Blues clips
Great demo!! Is fingerboard on Replica Brazilian rosewood? My main guitar is the affordable strat 60 custom shop which bought 13 years ago.
This is the sound
I might relic my own guitar...
To do this I will play it for a while, wearing a sandpaper suit and gloves. Then I will rub it with charcoal, beer and curry sauce.
Sounds LIKE a plan!
Or!! If you play a pasty white guitar while eating Cheetos, it will age perfectly into a Trumpcaster.
Wow.. You made me want to throw up a little there. I don't know which is worse.. The cheetos or the Trump reference.
lol nice!
You may fire when ready...
Sweet timbre!
I saw Gary rip it up with that Strat. Reading festival '82.
I have been fortunate enough to have been left my late fathers Guitars. He was collecting in the 50's up to the mid 90's. In his collection are a few pre CBS Fenders and one is Fiesta red Strat. They are out there still but their very expensive. That said Bucko bought one at Auction for 2 grand. Ok it was in a box in bit's but had a great job done of having it fixed up. I'm left handed, my Dad was not. I learnt to play with the high E off the top, even my left handed Guitars are strung that way. If there is any way you can play a pre CBS Fender, whether it be a Strat, Tele, Jag, Jazzmaster, whatever then try one. Especially the Strat. That 7.5' radius feels slinky. If you play and get the chance, take it.
What is the song from which Neville is playing the beautiful chord progression in the first 30 seconds of this video?
'If the person who buys this plays it, which they often don't .' One of the most insightful asides of the review. This instrument may be a bauble in a collection of a rich guy who can't play. With any luck, it isn't relegated to such a terrible fate.
I was looking up one for sale out of curiosity, and it seems they are already all spoken for, or sold. 12.5K$ a pop, I wonder how much of it goes to Gary's estate, if any. I believe they have to give a portion of the sales since they slap Gary's name on it. 60 were made, not so many.
indeed a wonderful tribute piece & guitaresqué musical art work fashioned by the one & the only John Cruz, ... sadly though at $35,000 Cdn ... only a select few will ever get to enjoy her...
Nice work just the same John . . . .
I think the yellow paint underneath was the original primer/sealant Fender used back in the days
That's a great vid Nev, many thanks. Who actually owns Gary's red strat now? I didn't see it go through at the auction of his other guitars. Thanks, Steve
Steve&Jacky Cox Im guessing Jack Moore his son which is also a very good guitar player.
*Hi Guitarist, please what brand, type and gauge, about those strings?*
i never realized how similar fuzz and distortion sound
Wow !!! just Wow
If that guitar could speak, it would say "I miss my daddy" RIP Gary Moore.❤️
Hopefully it won't tell the next person who tries it that they are not worthy
What is the name of that song at the first he is playing? I heard Gary play it once on an old VHS tape. I think he said he wrote it for his wife. Later on a guy taught it to me on an acoustic. I've always searched for Garys version but could never find it.
Its,amazing what gary did with that strat.He was a sweet soul,but a vicious guitar player.His style was so different from everyone else.Black Irish for ever.
Thanks for the comparison, the original sounds much better and i can imagine that it feels better to ;)
I think boss need to make a relic’d Gary Moore DS1.
Yeah Gary said very knowledgeably that MXR Distortion + ( Randy Rhoads etc) "thinned out" the notes too much and the Boss DS1 retained the fat sound to far better effect and the tone of the pickups also , hence his choice .
You know, for a strat from the ‘60s, those tuners look brand new (the ones from the original “Pink Strat”)
Nice demo! FWIW...the guitar is not Pink as described in the graphic.
You may want to start the analysis by analysis by indicating what year the strat is....for those of us who don't know the intricacies of the different years and specs. My assumption is that it's an early 60s.
Those that don't "get" why those of us prefer relics never will, and that's ok. I don't keep every guitar I buy for 40 years, so I "get" the relic idea...its an art really.
Great guitar played by a great musician. #fenderprosweepstakes
Question, did Gary Moore have the tremolo floating or against the body?????
Since I would never spend 13 thousand on a guitar, does anyone know the name of the paint I would get at a hardware store to make my own? Seeing as how that colour only seems to be in Fenders custom shop catalog.
Sweet.
What's in your opinion best pick up for Stratocaster Moore sound?
how come none of us can get a boss ds1 to sound like that? It's almost slide guitar sound with a bit of fuzz,
i own the 1988 EC signature edition strat. Its the only 6 string electric i own. I would never buy another strat. But I will be owning a tele, es 335, and a les paul someday. But its not like im running out to buy the jeff beck model..etc 99% of all the soul is in your hands guys not the axe.
Gary got the best Strat tone out of this guitar.
