This is about the best demo of a guitar I have seen. Great filming, narration and playing. Unlike most demos, the player (who is very good) chose music to demonstrate the potential of the guitar, instead of showing off his own ability. I appreciate this. Actually the demo has put me over the top to buy this model. Thanks.
"The iconic "in-between" sounds that were discovered accidentally and didn't exist on the original Strats." ;-) Great demo as usual. Brilliant sounding guitar.
Well that’s how they came new. Mine is a few years old now and the „pale“ turned into a beautiful yellowish tint. If u are a smoker the yellowing should occur even quicker 😅
I don't have a problem with it being there. I just have a problem with Fender saying it it the most accurate recreation of the vintage guitar as humanly possible when we all know it's not. So why put it there? Same thing with the tone for the bridge pickup. IRC it wasn't on the original 56 strat so why put it there either. If it was 56 "inspired" then no problem putting these convenient "upgrades" there. But "The real deal" 56 strat, you should stay true to it.
Not much. There is quite the debate over whether different woods have any effect on tone. I believe there are very subtle differences. But, in a solidbody electric guitar, 90% of your tone is in the pickups, bridge and amp.
Surely by now you must be realizing catering to the corksniffer / toneboner crowd is a losing proposition. You might as well be selling to young earth creationists.
Fender makes a big mistake making those guitar with a 9.25 radius and big frets because the real vintage guitars have 7.25 radius and smaller fret! The paradox is that maxican made classic 50 is more accurate. Learn fron gibson that make a perfect replica of the 59! I'm not saing that ar not good guitar actually are more playable but absolute not vintage style
Might want to check the specs again American Vintage is 7.25 radius. Trynig to a compare a 6k Gibson Les Paul re issue with a 2k american vintage strat?? different ball park I think
Yes you have right about the specs. But the luthery of a gibson is so different from fender i don't find mani difference from a mexican standar an an american one apart laquer finish tha age better

Noone demoes a fender as good as Mr. Chivers.
from all the vintage series, this is the one
I think the newer vintage series are much more truer to the originals than the Fullerton attempt in 1982.
Got this guitar yesterday and its a whole new thing when played
is the neck fat or slim or in between? I was thinking on getting this guitar
that's teh greatest sounding strat i've ever heard.
Looking forward to picking one of these up soon. Love that sound!
Insane tone! So clear but deep and in your face at the same time! Best strat I ever heard. Great as always Damon...
Thumbs up from me for the inclusion of the 5 way switch !
The bridge/middle setting (clean) sounded great .
"The iconic "in-between" sounds that were discovered accidentally and didn't exist on the original Strats." ;-)

Had my heart set on the sonic blue rosewood neck 59 but think I might opt for this one. Sure sounds and looks great.
Man the geezer in the hat can play...........taking nothing from your playing of course Damon as you know we all love your style..:-)
I want one!😭
I would love it is someone scored the tab for the blues shuffle from 10:51 on...great music
I WANT ONE!
the man knows how to sell a guitar.
looking good daim0n
what the fuck i want this guitar already
I've searched this guitar on google images, but instead of appearing this one, it appears the olympic white strat, can someone help me ?
Where's the lower mids in the neck position though?
Beautiful stratocaster...blonde .....
Does anybody know which is the weight?
Does anyone no if this neck is the 10/56 neck pleaseeee sum one help me

Brian Valencia 34.000
The only thing I don't like about these new reissues are the pale looking necks
Well that’s how they came new. Mine is a few years old now and the „pale“ turned into a beautiful yellowish tint. If u are a smoker the yellowing should occur even quicker 😅
First Play...after bla bla... $:;;

You could still get them with a 3 way.
What's the difference between the ash body and alder body for tone?
Not much. There is quite the debate over whether different woods have any effect on tone. I believe there are very subtle differences. But, in a solidbody electric guitar, 90% of your tone is in the pickups, bridge and amp.
Thanks~ I'll take a look in local shop~
once plugged in? nothing
Really cool british accent
57 is the iconic year, but whatever.
Does this neck feel the same as the Eric Clapton strat neck??....
No, it's not really a V. It's really comfortable. It's big and rounded
what capacitor this guitar use
Tony Tielli im sure they using .022uf
+Randomchannel thanks. im wondering i got the tone at .047 but kinda hum.
Tony Tielli all strats hum a little.
+Randomchannel oh ok thank man
5-way switch on a 56 strat? Either go all the way or don't say you do.
Note the floated tremolo yet no tremolo arm, why? because it will go out of tune :(
oh1 look its the hobbit

Fender si only two peaces of wood screwed together so the equivalent of a 6k riessue in fender have to be 2k
Ps i'm a huge fender fan mor than Gibson
According to fender, these 56 models have the 7.5" radius.
