Can ya imagine working there like this fine gentleman. When a young fireball guitar player starts tearing into a strat AND with a tremelo bar plugged into the baddest amp in the place. Cranked to Eleven. As a sales dude you want to be there for questions but day after day doing it. It takes a true music lover. Or something. Enjoyed the video! Seeing young folks smiling and laughing. Hell yeah.
Good Grief!!
That Strat's Sound is out of this World Beautiful!!!
Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
For those of you who dont know who the guy working in the store is. He usually plays guitar in Johan Segerborn's videos (the Marshall guy on CZcams)
Don’t know him either.
@@heyjarrod well look them up 👍
I Knew I’ve seen him before! Thanks
Good eye.
Oh, okay, intresting
Good for you! The passion is evident. Both sound awesome. A real 63 with that perfect trem and huge block! Fits you like a glove. Awesome
Sounds amazing Mimi!!! So cool you played Hendrix!!! Enjoy that Strat and thanks so much for posting 🙂✌
Awesome that you could both experience that store and make the purchase. Love the Hendrix sound, man, please post more of that!
Thank you for sharing this with us, it was great watching you. Your playing is always perfect, I really enjoy listening to you. Safe travels my friend.
Mia, the first time I watched this video I enjoyed seeing the joy on yours and Chris’ faces of finding and then experiencing playing such a fine vintage instrument. Then I played the video again, closing my eyes and listening closely, the sound brought images of Jimi playing again, it was that good! Thank you for sharing with us and can’t wait to see and here more!
Longer vids! Awesome-Mimi you for sure won the guitar battle. What great players both of you-and so young! Keep on rocking’ kids. Long live SRV!
That was a blast! That strat and bassman sounded amaaazing! Thank you!
Mimi I love watching ur luv for guitars & music!! And love how much you've improved, all the hard work you've put in so far. Stay on it!
thank you very much 🤍🎸🤘
Great to see you guys in Sweden. Lovely playing and that strat sounds immense!
Amazing!! love his playing!!! My fav period of strats 1961-1964!!
Great stuff you were in a treasure trove !!!! I loved all your treasured riffs and etc !!!
Too much fun guys! And you always learn something new-congrats and ROCK ON!!!
Absolutely LOVED this.....I was excited just watching with the anticipation of you buying it. So glad it worked out for this treasure. So fun to watch .....and listen! Keep jammin'.....
I’ve been a customer since the late 90’s at this seller. Wonderful shop and really awesome staff during the years.
I love the clean tone on those old strats, it is so rich and full, very musical guitars
do you like them as much as a PRS
That was awesome.
What a beautiful guitar. And your playing is superb.
Real feeling and thoroughly enjoyable.
Amazing on every level, just brilliant and what a bag full of tones 👍👍👍
Pure jewel. I was waiting for the strat pure clear sound too on this amp..
I’m sure Jimi would be pretty delighted his sound is being remembered and played like this 55yrs later !
Hendrix predicted that women would pick up the guitar gauntlet and run with it. Mimi is proof he was right.
get lost
Woah Chris was a natural 🎸😱, I loved seeing him play and really show his strong passion ✨🚀
Beautiful strat, and you were great too Mimi 😊
far out man you got a piece of glory my friend.got that old beautiful sound,love the hendrix jams man.and both of you play glorious.respect from new zealand.
12:56 I’m so glad you guys kept this on the video, humbuckers are great and work so well but Strats are just special. Whenever I want to play, I grab my strat before anything else.
I feel the same about any single coils. I love my teles but I think humbuckers are just too warm and less dynamic like the guy said. I don’t want to get a good strat tho never had an AVRI strat before and I love the my tele
Vintage specs are the best
Right, but after playing my strat for weeks and start playing my les paul, I can't stop that either ;)
@@dewinchy Lmao! That’s a great point, there are times where I have to play with some humbuckers. It just depends on my mood
After 20 years of being a Fender Tele/Strat single coil only player I bought my first humbucking guitar, a PRS. I will never go back.🎸🇺🇸
Awesome tone! Even through the YT & internet & a 2015 iPad Pro turned up! U both are very talented. Thx for posting this trip to the treasure store! ( from Louisville KY USA 🎸🎤😎
Dear goodness god… that thing sounds absolutely as beautiful as it looks. The sound on it is 👌🥹👌
That was great! You are really seeing the world the last few months Mia. Continued success!
Sounds Amazing!!! Congratulations Chris!🍻🤙
I bought my 1962 slab board, LPB Strat in 1974 for $175.00. It changed the trajectory of my life. I still have the guitar and music shop receipt. Your '63 Strat sounded amazing!😊👍
Back in the day when they were USED guitars.
@@ksharpe10 👍😂
You clearly loved your time there. It's your passion when playing that really comes through.
thank you so much :)
What a fun video to watch. That Strat looks and sounds killer
So fun to see you guys in Sweden! Grymt bra spelat av er båda! 🤪😎
thank you very much 🤍
Wow! Look at these kids having a blast! They both play so well! I think about where that guitar has been and where it'll be in another 60 years... I kind of expect to see Johnny Silverhand standing in the background somewhere.
I was so happy to see him walk out with it…😊👏👍🙌
You guys are such good vibes, and those were some gnarly tones!
Hi, Mia - Congratulations to you and Chris... that Strat sounds wonderful! Thank you taking us along on your journey. It's great to see you so happy and excited. I'm glad that music has such an effect on you. 🎶 Hope the two of you have been enjoying Sweden! I'd love to visit there someday. Well, thanks again for sharing, and take care. You rock! 👍🙂
thank you!! Sweden was lovely, i hope you get to visit too😊🤍
On 08:35 it starts. Very intense and beautiful playing. Now I know what I am practicing for! Hendrix!!! Jette bra✌️
I too have a 63 that I consider a dear old friend. I've enjoyed It for 20 yrs now and has become a part of me. I am the father of identical twins and am amazed to see a twin to your new friend. Cheers and enjoy, be careful not to let that one go.... All the way from Detroit, Rock City....
That is the best sounding strat I have ever heard , in the right hands too .
That music store looks amazing. I wish there was something like that near me.
Another great video Mia, thanks for taking us along . Your friend seems really nice and is a great guitar player, you should have him in some more videos playing guitars with you . Great to see that your traveling some .
Congratulations on the guitar !!! I will see you later on another video, so take care and stay safe while traveling .
🤗👍❤️💫
Awesome. I would have loved to go with you guys. A 1965 Strat was the first Strat I ever played (in 1969) and I loved it. It was still like new. I could totally get lost in there. Is that a 55 Bassman? Ohhhhh. That would be heaven. Some smooth Jazz on that thing would make my hair stand up!
Congrats with your 1963 Strat, Must be an awesome instrument.
I LOVE this guitar shop!!
i have been playing hendrix for his memory and stevie for his memory and great to see you both are too keep the legends music alive so worth it
The Shake, Rattle and Roll video. Thank you so much.!
Such an amazing guitar, and found the perfect home! Will take your journey to the highest of heights.
Loved it and so good to see young guitarists still giving respect to the the greats..in this case Hendricks and SRV. That's a lifetime guitar btw,, DONT ever sell it. and play the hell out of it!
That Bassman is something else, so raw, so beautiful.
Loved the Foxy Lady strummmm I am grabbing my electric now. Always enjoyable to watch Mimi jam.
Whenever anyone tries to play Hendrix licks they have do it in a really manic way, whereas Jimi was always so cool and looked like he could do it in his sleep!
Congratulations on your new strat, looks and plays beautiful. You both play really well.
1963. ได้เลย. ว่างงงto day. Is m
Wow, use to know a guy that had a 60 Les Paul. There is just a energy the guitar gives off.
Congrats folks 💐👏🎸Good demo playing too.. 👏Thanks 🙏Warm cheers.. 😘
Wow. Very good riffing. I love how you don't rush your riffs, Mimi. You get the soul of the sound in each note. Not saying anything bad about Chris. You are both amazing! NICE guitar!!!
One well-placed note is far more effective than shredding through an entire scale.
@@TheStratman007 Both are just as gnarly… especially when you can do both of them well! 🔥🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
What riff is Mimi playing at 8:45? It’s so amazing
@@chad8928 Foxy Lady
Prefer Mimi’s playing. Not a fan of people who prefer to burn over playing music.
We feel your excitement! Fantastic guitar, Chris. Will it get its own pillow?😊
I was thinking yesterday, I haven't seen Mimi since she was at Anderton's looking at Strats and PRS's!
And when you popped up tonight I couldn't hit your post fast enough!! 😆😆
GAS is a lifetime scourge, passion and delight!! Enjoy the ride you have a beautiful spirit and sweet on those sixstrings🎸🎶
Chris is such a cool guy. I loved seeing him on Andertons. Amazing guitar and I'm glad it's with him now
Ok nice guitar ...In 1963 Fender hired a man named Alfredo He was the painter of guitars from 63 till forward and in the late 80s
when Michael Stevens was given the task of opening the Fender custom shop Fredo was there still..
So he and Michael called Dupont and asked if they might help match the original custom colors..
Dupont laughed saying yes we have the original books come on down.. So Fredo and Michael my heros went on down to Dupont
and got all the original codes and chips to match too and stocked the shelves once again to do custom colors as they did in late 50s early 60s. Its possible Fredo as Michael called him shot this 63 burst. Its a 3 tone burst but if you look they did somewhat of a translucent blonde below the yellow giving the almost white or blonde look coming up through black on edges and dark brown.. So my guess is its like the sealer coat and fullerplast was shot over that sealer coat to lock and seal that look in to avoid wasting yellow they shot the center yellow out to the edges... So Yellow over sealer then cherry round the edges and they would shoot the edges black and fade in some brown once dry you can lightly scuff that edge and it does the hazed tobacco edge.
Note the neck has no skunk stripe down back nor the truss rod hole through headstock no koa plug..
That is a slab board @ 1:56 look behind the nut at the Brazilian rosewood... what do you see ?
its a flat piece of rosewood glued atop maple blank. FLAT the face would have been radiused
Clay dots ..
If they are claiming thats a B neck the real way to tell is measure the nut width if its a chunky neck behind the nut and it measures 1.5 across the nut its bigger then a B Shape neck. A and B are most common D are most rare and think 50s tele neck fat U shape giant neck ... A D shaped neck is one inch thick at the nut nothing taken or shaved behind the nut down back of neck
C shape is tapered and B shape is getting thin and narrow as is A shaped neck being the smallest and least wide.
U shape neck or boat neck is full inch but the shape is more U looking then D or C
Stevie Ray liked D necks they were GIANT he had all his work done by Michael Stevens which is how I know
this I had my first 58 strat done by Michael and his amazing crew in 1980-81 era and they had done Eric Johnsons Virginia which
was a one piece spruce body according to Fullerton they had made some early on out of spruce but too expensive to make all of them that way if one customer said hey how come mine does not look like that then complaints so
they chose a more available wood ash or southern ash to keep the weight down.
When you look under pickguard look in the route cavities for any tape with a females signature on it
Leo had females wiring the guards and doing final assembly as they have lighter touch.
So as a matter of pride and quality control Leo asked them to sign the tape so if the guitars came back with any complaints or did not then they knew who would be to blame or to praise....
To keep the customer happy. The pickups should be grey bobbin on bottom and look for a signature perhaps abbigail ybarra wrapped the pickups it sure sounds like it to my ears She wrapped Jimis as in HENDRIX .
So no skunk stripe slab board 63 strat with excellent sounding pickups.
Get a meter and spec the pickups find out what they rate at please they will be hotter in the 6. ranges id guess
since 60s small headstock still and clay dots.....
You will see a stamped date on the heel of the neck but honestly if they have photos of that
id not remove the neck but if you just have to peek and take photos, make note of which screw is in which hole dont take them fully out and there might be a shim at heel in pocket....
You might see some writing in the neck pocket or stamps
and as mentioned the heel of the neck will have a black rubber date stamp.
oct63b something like that and inside spring claw cavity under the yellow should be pencil date or its
under the guard on the body in the wiring routes..
You got a great guitar id go back and buy the fuzz and tube screamer with it
the 4x10 bassman is the rest........
But that guitar has "IT"
Should have cloth wiring and the pots you can date they should all be the same codes
cts factory pots....
look for the nail holes in body and back of neck heel area and under g tuner
you should see the snake bite on heel of neck on back two tiny marks and then an extra screw hole under tuner
which is the jig holes from when they routed the trus rod slot which is cold rolled steel and tap and dyed.
if you take it apart make note of which screw came out of which hole and take your time and photograph it well.
You might see they stopped the red under the guard area where you cant see it thats to save red that area would be under the guard near bottom horn.
Remember neck size is determined by A B C D D Being the largest outside of U and both are one inch thick behind the nut
and 1.65 wide across nut would be a D size neck.
1 11/16ths would be B size neck and it would be thin and narrow at the nut not chunky or beefy.
what type pedals do you make..?
if they are fuzz pedals we need to talk more.
Im Ron Frey I think you got a great one there..
my ears never lie..
dude that was alot lol
Like shopping in a Classic museum 😊Gold Mine ❤ Spectacular, Thxs for sharing Mimi : ) Jesse ✌️
Chris looks so excited. Congratulations !
Good on ya mate 👍.. I could sense the excitement you had in purchasing this dream of a guitar. Sounds great too with your dedicated playing 🎸🔥.
Brings me back to when I was young.. enjoy the journey and this fine investment 👌
Yep!
you have to deserve THAT guitar and the way you guys played it…. WOW! … now play to the guitar gods!!!
Loved the sound man!
The past era will always be a good memory, music, and the heart is beating more strongly, I greet you from Guadalajara Mexico 🇲🇽👍💪😎🎵🎼
I have a Mexican fender but for me it sounds incomparably better than the ones I hear here. as they say, one in a thousand sue will hit something good
Tone is such a personal thing.
But the feel of the instrument is usually what are driving people towards vintage guitars. Not only do they have a history which does seem to fascinate people, but they have also been aged and played in.
That’s because of to me awful sounding pedals they used. They should have just cranked that glorious amp. Tube screamers and fuzzface are the worst pedals ever manufactured to my ears
Mimi, I've been following you so long now I feel almost as if I knew you! You've come a long way since the beginning, a little shy and watching you bloom into this great guitar player has been a thrill!! I'm really proud of you as if we really knew each other! That guitar is a year younger than I am, so be careful with that old man! Like the Rocker I am, play it hard! 🤘😝🎸🎶🎶🎶
This sounds like a letter from a stalker 😂😂😂
@@kevinburns1310 Grow up!
Lol says the man born before 1963 using rock horn emojis 🤣 😂 😆
It sounds like a fan letter to me, what's the big deal? I've written them too and I'm not a stalker. Just telling the truth. 👍🙂
@@ranatlas Thank you!!! I've chatted with her before, she's a sweet kid, I admire her talent! I think this guy was born in a flower pot, a blooming idiot!
✌😂
Beautiful Stratocaster,, I have a Stratocaster it's from 1980 the E series but its an amazing guitar it's blonde colour, alder body fully synchronised tremolo, maple neck & fingerboard /vintage headstock
As always, great video. Awesome shop, awesome Strat too.
Keep up the good work.
In the words of EVH......
"Keep playing"
thanks so much!🤍
You need one mimi
What he said......
Codify icky cod. Or. Maybe k marketing. Too. So r cor
She could just keep blowing Pedal Pawn and borrow it indefinitely. Lord knows she plays a hundred times better than him. 😊
@@Factory_Muff that's lame
That was probably my 63’ Strat. Sold it for $150 in 1972. Wish I hadn’t. Mine was in much better condition when I sold it.
The scariest part: Baggage checking it for the plane flight home.
Welcome to Gothenburg!
Always Carry it on the plane with you
Plus declaring it at customs. About 25 % to be added to the purchase price in duties & VAT.......😲
Awesome vídeo guys. I felt the tone here!
I’m with you in spirit my man. So exiting. My 59’ 60’ is out there awaiting the day that I can bring it home from wherever it, is at this very moment. 🌍 I wish I had a vintage guitar store here. But I might even settle for any music store. As I have not even one ☝️ 😞
Great to see you guys in Sweden ❤️
Wow what a guitar store. What a guitar. !!! Thanks
This was fun. Thank you
Congrats. A great guitar for great people. Enjoy it!
Congrats on the Strat. Loved the Hendrix riffing!
Amazing Fender Stratocaster. Thank you so much for sharing the experience. Alessandro/Brazil
👆👆👆
hey you won 🎁🎁
Massive coup de gras! My fave era of Strats period. Well done!
Awesome Mimi🎸《☆》Nice Strat👍🔥Epic Strat riffs guys🔊Congratulations on buying it as well🖖😎☮
I would buy them all for you Mimi! They’d be in the best hands!
Excellent Video!
This video has reaffirmed my belief I need a fuzz pedal for my 1960s American Original Strat.. great tone on this vid!
Love that Fender Bass laying in the background!!🤘🤘✌️❤️
Thanks for the share!! Great great playing!!
Congrats your friend on finding his dream guitar.
i do not care what some folks say a vintage strat like that has a sound you can not replicate and the mojo is there as well awesome guitar!!!!!!
Wow, that does sound amazing, guitar and amp combo, crazy
Always success in your work, Mimi's sister who plays the electric guitar, along with her friends and hopefully always successful, and progressing, glowing😁🤗🙏🤝👋👌🤘✌
what an Shop WOW.. Guitar Heaven..🤑 Grats for the Fender🤟🤟🤟
Congrat's man!!! Lucky dog!! Those early 60's strats are amazing! Slab rosewood fretboard with clay dot inlay! Mojo for days! Rock on!!
Slab rosewood up until around July '62, then round lam, but yes, clay dots and a nitrate guard, great looking and sounding guitar; usually lightweight too.
Hey Mimi this is awesome!
Wonderful Mimi. 👏🏻👍🏻👊🏻💘🌹
I still have my first guitar that I play daily. It's a 1962 Fender Strat , Sunburst with the Rosewood neck just like the one you guys purchased. I have many other guitars , but the Strat is my favorite for sure. My dad bought me the guitar to learn on when I was 6 years old.....lol. It is refreshing to see you guys playing Jimi Hendrix songs. Nobody is making incredible music like that anymore .
Ain't that with maple neck and rosewood fretboad?
Wow you’re dad got u a strat at 6. Give us more bavk story. Please. What a cool dad. Was he a player. And u kept trying his. And just got u one ? Was those piano in the house. Etc. Thanks
Blues Queen...Ultimate Fender Strat sounds amazing and incredible. Looks like u and 63. R a match .great Job.keep on Jamin the Blues...c.u ..Cheers...lio from across the water...Lio..Galveston
You guys had a good time there
I really can't sware on here but wtaf that tone 😮💨🤯🫠😭😍🥰
That relic, that baseman amp 😍🫠
The sound of that strat is incredible, gorgeous tone to it, hope you're doing ok Mimi, lots of love from North East England. YOU CAN REALLY WAIL!! lol......Waynes World quote!
I knew that was a keeper when Mimi hit Riviera Paradise and it sounded so wonderful after the Hendrix licks.
