Fender should seriously consider issuing the Tomo Fujita signature series hardtail Strat. Outstanding!
Thank you so much!
I couldn’t find a hardtail and had to build one. Love the hardtail tone and stability. Tomo’s playing illustrate the deep, sustaining and resonant hardtail sound. Well actually - most of that great sound is Tomo himself!!
Thank you for sharing! This one is so great! Thank you so much!
Everyday enjoy your videos before going to sleep, best part of the day. My ears started to hear all those jazzy and bluesy sound and phrases, and I’m getting better in my triads. Gonna keep progressing!
Glad you enjoy it!
Every guitar sounds beautiful in Tomo's hands. I had a 1974 sunburst, hardtail Stratocaster that I sold back in the early 1990s. Sometimes I wish I still had that guitar, as I love hardtail Strats.
Thank you so much! Oh no! You can get it back!
Who says you can't play Jazz on a Stratocaster 😉 Seriously. Outstanding playing on a great sounding guitar!
Thank you!
Of course you can play jazz on a Strat, Tomo is a master, but check this guy out : czcams.com/video/Io0LOuCzySo/video.html
Literally no one says that.
@@MrZeddy100
Lots of jazz cats play Tele's but you don't see many of them using Strats.
hi tomo
you’ve been a massive influence on me as a guitar player in all aspects and i’d like to thank you
So great to hear that. Thank you so much!
"Oh My" Mr. Tomo.. I'm 68 right now & you are taking me back to a time when I once myself owned a Hardtail ... I miss those times ,, God Love You Sir ,Thank You for sharing this with us... Those Hardtail's "Were so Kind & Honest " ....!
Oh! You're welcome!
I have a 74 hard tail that I found in a bucket in the back of the music store in Arlington Massachusetts in 1999. It was $300 and everybody thought I was crazy for buying it because it was in disrepair and had no trem. After 25 years working on it, it’s 1 of a kind and ‘my strat’
So awesome! Very cool story! Thank you for sharing!
This guitar... I helped my student to buy. So great!
Those bass notes at 2:42 sound so smooth. Thank you sir for sharing yourself with the world
My pleasure!
I usually cannot tell the tone different between each guitars. But I can tell right away this guitar sounds really nice.
Thanks!
Your an Awesome Musician. Love the fact that you are a funky diversified guitarist of any genre.
Thank you!
I listened to this video with headphones and the sound was incredible! Microphones in stereo is the way to go. Awesome guitar, love it.
So great to hear that! Thank you!
Such a wonderful guitar man. Your student is very lucky indeed!
This one is so special!!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Yeah!
I own a '76 hardtail Strat with all original hardware (except for new frets which I just had put in) that looks just like this with a black pickguard . It's been my main guitar since I purchased it used in the mid-80s. Divine!
Awesome!
Yes 76 us when the black plastic came in to play
awesome video tomo! i love your lights in the background lol
Glad you liked it!!
Those microphones work great! Nice and clear!
Good to know!
Sounds good! Love my Fender Robert Cray signature hardtail guitar
Thank you!
It's similar to the one John Mayer used in the Where The Light Is concert back in 2008, if I'm not mistaken, his was a 66' model. Such a beautiful and well made instruments. Your student it's so lucky
John has a 1966 Hardtail and... Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank to you Tomo! You’re always sharing knowledge and kindness
this guitar has integrated tone, very nice. every average strat has tend and fall apart tone, soooo lucky.
So many okay ones around these years...but I was lucky to find the ONE for my student.
ah, All the Things You Are! Sounds so good on the Strat.
Thank you!
Very nice, I have a 76 USA hardtail strat , all original black on black. I bought it for £150 nearly 30 years ago. Its not too heavy and stays good up the neck. Always a pleasure to hear you play!
Awesome! Thank you!
Maybe I’m deaf but, to my ears, You sound always very good!! With a cheap Squire, a Sterling cutlass or an exceptional vintage guitar!!! 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you!
Thank you for this wonderful demo and playing 🙏 I’m thinking about using the Fender Mod Shop to build a hardtail Stratocaster
You're very welcome! Thank you so much! Cool guitar!
Came here to help figure out if I should roll the dice on a hardtail. Stayed for the masterful playing. RESPECT @tomofujitamusic !!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks TF! I don't think I've ever heard a Strat that sounded so good on the bridge and middle pickups. And of course the neck pickup sounds fantastic.
This guitar's the middle pickup and the rear pickup... you can play all day long!
Thanks, the Two- Rock sounds real nice, but the Fender it always has such a sweet sound.
Thank you!
トモさんのCZcams観るようになって、最近少し英語が聞き取れるようになってきました。
一石二鳥です。ありがとうございます😊
ありがとうございます！
Definitely an amazing guitar. Really brings out that incredible Two Rock amp! You really nailed the tone with that one.
Glad you like it!
I just recently ordered a MOD Shop Strat from Fender. I chose the hardtail option. It is excellent!
Awesome!
Thanks Tomo! That's a really nice sounding Strat! Enjoyed it all. Keep On Pickin'
Thank you!
I have a friend who has a '58 hardtail and he says that guitar is an absolute delight ...
Awesome! Now... Rumble Seat Music has 1958 Hardtail Stratocaster!
34K
That’s an awesome guitar.
Yes!
(18:25) "...what if this guitar was played by Stevie Ray Vaughan..." Tomo's student has a better story, which is "...this guitar was selected for me and played by Tomo Fujita..."
Thank you!
The winner is the rear pickup, blues in E 🎸👍👏🎵😀 Thank you Tomo for the awesome videos! I saw a flying V in the background in another of your vids, please include that beauty too sometimes 🤗
Thanks so much!! I love the rear pickup and finger picking blues!!
@@TomoFujitaMusic thank you!!!
Some would say, just get a tele..but the HT Strat has a tone all it’s own.
You lose some of the chime in the high end, but you get fullness and attack from a hardtail.
Especially good for those funk riffs ie Nile Rodgers and The Hit Maker.
Easy to say, hard to do! A hardtail Stratocaster is so amazing! I wish new about how great they are... long time ago!
Great playing, I’ve been getting interested in jazz guitar, maybe you could do a lesson sometime!
Thank you! Why not?
Wow, really love your playing and sounds. I'm planning on a Shije hardtail strat and this video confirmed my choice . Subscribed , thank you . Den in the Phillipines
Thank you so much!
3:47 - I think Nile Rodgers was onto something with hardtails and playing funk with it. 🤔🤔
Thanks so much!
ありがとうございました😊🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
どうもありがとうございます！
Sounds good to me! Thanks Tomo for the follow up video
Thanks for watching!
All the things you are.
Beautiful playing. Beautiful tone.
Thank you so much 😀
Nicely played. I think I like the sound of the 67 Pro Reverb more; seems warmer to me. I have an '83 Hardtail Strat w/tremlo, maple neck. I bought it new at Ray Henning's Heart of Texas in Austin when I was 15.
Thank you! Awesome!
Great sounding guitar and awesome, tasteful playing. Wish I could play like that.
Thank you very much!
Just great playing and touch. I really enjoyed this one.
Glad you enjoyed it
このギターはｖｉｎｔａｇｅなのに新品のようですね。音もいいし、やっぱり70年代のストラトキャスターは良いですね。
とても良い状態です。これは当たりです！
Hard tail is amazing.ive got the robert cray signature hardtail.its amazing sustain.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍
I love it!
@@TomoFujitaMusic thanks my friend.i bought it in 2 minutes after i played it .its superb guitar.👍👍👍👍⚘⚘
Great video Tomo, love your content.☮
Glad you enjoy it!
I have a 1980 hardtail Strat that looks similar - big headstock and bullet but the body is Ash. Very heavy guitar and I don't play it much. The plastic hardware on that one looks surprisingly minty, thought it would have yellowed by now, especially the pickup covers. Very nice.
Awesome! Yes... some of these vintage guitar around 1978-80... very heavy!
My custom Strat is a hardtail. I have no use for a tremolo so I built mine from custom parts. Not a Fender although I do have a '93 Strat Ultra with HSS Lace Sensors and an Ebony Fingerboard. A truly excellent Strat. Also I have a 2008 Mexican HSS Strat that is okay.
Awesome!
that's the strat right there
Very nice one!
Amazing sound!
Glad you like it!
Hi from France! You are amazing! Love your playing 👋👋👋
Thank you so much 🤗
That 2 Rock sounds sweet...great strat too
Thank you!
Missed opportunity to play some Nile Rodgers
🙏👍🙏
Nice! I am about to build a partscaster, Im glad I went with a hardtail body :-)
Awesome!
いい動画でした！
ちょうど、ローラン・ディアンスのAll the things you areを弾いていたのでビックリしました。
ありがとうございます！
Thank u Tomo!
You're welcome!
I like you playing that blues number. Sounds great.
Thanks for listening
sounds amazing Tomo! how about a full tutorial on all the things you are?
I could do that!
Yes and awesome musician!!!
Thank you!
I came so close to buying one of those back then. I regret my choice not to.
Hard decision!
出だしのメロディー好きです！✨🎶👍✨🎶
ありがとうございます！
See you don't have to play super fast to sound great, technique and feel first I think. Worry about speed later.
Thank you!
I really want a hardtail Hss strat.
Yes!
TwoRock has more middle, I like it
Thanks!
Fender for the millionth time please made a standard series hardtail Strat!!! Who needs the Nashville Tele anyway? Jk but seriously we need some reissues!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Tomo what is you opinion on hard tail starts? Do they have better sustain that term? I presume term ones are heavier.
Just really different from norm Strat
Maybe that's all I need. Someone to tell me my hardtail was played by Stevie Ray Vaughn and my playing would improve!
Awesome! Tracy Farmer's 61' Hardtail Stratocaster was played by SRV!
Thanks Tomo for another video! OMG I was just thinking about possibly getting a hard tail Strat! Looks like I might be going to eBay at some point! :)
Thank YOU!
fly me to the moon? rly nice supported clean tone
Thank you!
Beautiful guitar.
Thanks!
a lesson on the blues stuff you played? loved it
Thank you!
👍 , , that Two-Rock TF Signature is just a little thiner than the Pro Reverb, , but still sounds great !
Thank you!
Sounds like every other strat I’ve ever heard. This guy plays better than most , but I stand by my comment.
Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I’ve been a guitarist most of my life , mostly jazz/swing. I don’t throw compliments out just because. You truly have great instincts and sensibility. Thank you for continuing tradition.
@@rayolson7475 Thanks for sharing! Awesome! Guitar is so amazing! More I learn, I understand that I know so little! Thank you!
Legend!
Thanks!
Hey Tomo I have a quick question or anyone who knows 🙋♂️ I always see live acoustic artists use these feedback suppressors or guitar hole covers, but never seen Mayer use one.. even when he plays big concerts, do you think it is necessary And what’s the difference between his guitar set up that he doesn’t use one? Thanks.
No worry!
Hi Tomo! How old do you think a guitar needs to be to be a "vintage instrument"?
15-80 years is considered vintage and anything past that is antique
There are good vintage guitar & not so so one... Nice to own one fine vintage instrument. If you can, why not? Life is only one time... taste this?
While an antique is defined as an object over 100 years old, there's no strict chronological definition of what makes something vintage. Typically, though, guitars around 30 years old or older fall into that category, and even newer instruments will often be labeled as such by sellers. In the wine world, vintage can refer to anything of a certain quality, and there are some who take the same perspective with guitars. On Reverb for example, we usually consider anything made prior to 1980 as being vintage.
@@MagSonics Thanks for sharing!
you must have at least 10s on that. I bought a PRS next level down from top and it was good tuned down half step but was in tune! Never played not bad. Had some different pickups and bridge. I hear you about that SRV. You could fall into that.
Yes, regular 10-46 set.
Very cool!!!
Thanks!
Sweet! Fender should reissue a hard tail Strat!
Ha!
It has a very sweet sound -- don't get too attached to it!
Oh, and I am a huge fan of that Two-Rock sound.
Thank you!
bro you play so good what the fuck lol
Really great. It would be amazing if you could make a video on how to play the Blues, that you’ve played at 5:45
I have that detail lessons at my Guitar Wisdom. Thank you!
Its stevie ray vaughns pride and joy but slower you should be able to find it somewhere in a youtube tutorial too
wow such a beautiful tone, really a lucky catch of a guitar. I really like your walking bass tomo, Will you teach it in a future video?
Thank you! What would you like to learn?
@@TomoFujitaMusic 0:24 -1:10 . Such a awesome sounding progression with that smooth walking bass. I wish I could play like that.
@@jcc9126 Yes! First you need to know how to use only Rt 3rd 7th chords! Then... Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic thank you.
Really nice🙂 I’ve always wanted a hard tail strat. I believe the only kind you can get today is like the absolute cheapest of squire. Does it resonate better without the tremolo?
Thank you!
@tomofujitamusic Do you think you can get those same sounds and styles without using picks?
Yes and no. I love both. Pick style & finger style.
Nice guitar Tomo, your student is very fortunate! Just one question if I may... How do you get that beautiful clean sound you always use? I know you turn down your guitar volume to 8 but when I do that, my guitar starts sounding muddy no matter the EQ settings on my amp... Any tips?
As always thanks for your videos, they are really inspiring!
maybe a treble bleed?
also, check the height of your pickups, maybe they are too low
@@0000song0000 I've tried treble bleed but they didn't work for me, they made my fuzz face sound horrible 😖. I'm pretty sure Tomo's guitars don't have treble bleeds anyways... Checking the pickup height is a good idea, in fact I do have them set pretty low... Thanks for the tip! 🤟🏼
Good question! Vintage pots wont change the tone that much. So generally my amp setting is very bright! Treble 6-7, Middle 5, bass 3-4
Try that type setting? Thank you!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Great! Thanks for the reply! 🙌🏼
What is the cost for a guitar like this one. Should start saving or buy a PRS custom
Not cheap!
Guitar playing? I could listen to the guy talk for for hours.
Thank you!
What was that reverb pedal called ? Very musical Thanks
One Control Prussian Blue Reverb
@@TomoFujitaMusic Very good Tomo and thank you for the timely reply Going to pick one up I'm not a big reverb guy but this One Control sounds very open and hopefully simple to use I prefer natural room sonics of course But respect your ears LoL and experience In Tomo we Trust Thanks.....hey also if you use attenuation what do you prefer
@@paulcowart3174 This pedal is very natural sounding! I don't
You gotta do a lesson and teach everything you played in the intro!
I teach that song all the times!
You may need to join Guitar wisdom to learn everything from Tomo
@@aung1406 Thank you so much!
塗装面がピッカピカですね。再塗装でもないとしたらほとんど弾かれてもいなかったのでしょうか。
これはヤバイ掘り出し物ですね。
これは、大当たりでした！
in all honestly, I think Tomo - sensei will sound awesome even on the Mini Squiers, which are hardtail... btw, can anyone lend him one?
You're so kind! Thank you!
Personally ... I'll sacrifice some tone, for that gear shifter ...
Thank you!
Tomo, your lessons are fantastic, thanks so much! By the way I tried to join Guitar Wisdom but they only take cards. Any chance to have Paypal option please?
Thanks so much! That site only takes credit card! If I can change ...I would do.
How much did it cost??
Private!
had a 74 hardtail payed 350$ for it in 1988
Thank you for sharing!
Tomo, do you play gigs anymore? I know with the pandemic the answer is probably not right now at least.
I was supposed to go to Japan and there countries... now I do play backyard concert or living room concert for up to 20 people. New style of gigs! Thanks for asking!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Awesome, good to hear you are staying active. Stay healthy my friend!
Thank you! I am very busy! I am so thankful!
I hate you man !!! I wish I can sit down and play just like you :) my guitar sound completely different:(
Thanks so much! I have more detail lessons at my Guitar Wisdom.
What’s that song in the beginning called id love to learn it 😂
All the little things I know
All the things you are!
@@TomoFujitaMusic thanks Tomo really appreciate it 😇😇
