Fender American Vintage Series Overview and 65 Strat - Damon and Groover

www.pmtonline.c...
Damon from Fender GBI UK and our own Groover give an overview of the new American Vintage series of guitars.
The finishes on most new American Vintage guitars and basses consist of three coats: sealer, color and a topcoat, all of which are 100-percent nitrocellulose lacquer and are hence quite thin. This is a vintage-style finish treatment that lets an instrument "breathe" with a more natural resonance since it doesn't "constrain" the instrument's body as much as thicker and more confining modern finishes.
The term flash-coat lacquer refers specifically to the quickly applied thin and final "flash" of topcoat lacquer applied to most new American Vintage instruments. In addition to the sonic advantage noted above, the composition of and method of application for this final finish layer imparts a more authentically vintage appearance to these new instruments.

ive never heard a better sound strat than this 65

[@ALT3REDB3AST]

Definitely NOT just hype. My 59 sonic blue reissue is hands down the best Strat I own/owned. Plan on getting another vintage reissue. Cant decide between a 57 or a 65. I want the 57 for the maple v neck and the 65 for the pickups. Decisions...

[@C-Stanz]

I prefer the brighter, glassy sounding '56. They're both pretty amazing though.

Damon what year and model was the first white Maple neck Strat you played "Little Wing" on and- what model amp, string make and Gauge, and effects/pedals if any? In short Loved it- you nailed Jimi's tone and nuances! Cheers Phil

[@thehindsightTV]

I think the faded sonic blue Strat is a '59 instead of a '65, because I can't seem to find a '65 in that colour on the official Fender website.

[@reinbert_ok]

what song is he playing? in the beginning

[@Orieus]

i love when i watch vids with dudes wearing rings lol, dude hit the back of the neck a few times with it.....lol. Great guitars! that gold jazzmaster is on my wish list!

[@skyanosis]

sounds like he's channeling SRV's version of Little Wing! Look it up for a brain melt :)

[@TheYearThree]

56

[@Loddentidster]

Maybe you can't afford both, though. :P

[@gingercat777]

All hype, just buy an 80's JV MIJ...best pre CBS copies and they come with US pickups...and you don't have to send $2000.

[@srv6127]

Then buy it...........HAHAHAHA
