1956 Fender Stratocaster at Norman's Rare Guitars - IS IT ORIGINAL??? 

Agreed! I kinda miss Joel....his acoustic stuff, but this guy is great.

you mean Norms BS?

that nice lady may gift this one to lemmo, u better get a squire.

I bet that looks great. I'm curious... I think you mean you stripped and refinished with a nitro lacquer top coat, over acrylic lacquer Lake Placid Blue? I ask because the Lake Placid Blue lacquer on Fenders is Lucite 2876-L, which is acrylic lacquer, not nitro. Expanding on that, all the metallic base color coats Fender has offered in lacquer, originally/past and present, were/are acrylic lacquer. The lacquer Fender solid colors--e.g. Olympic White, Sonic Blue, Fiesta Red--are Duco, which is nitro. If--because they didn't always do it, depending how busy they were--or when Fender sprayed clear top coat over the body base color that much is always nitrocellulose.

@@YTPartyTonight It's not exactly lake placid Blue. It's close as we could get with other paints. I've always liked the Lake placid Blue that is darker. Some are a little brighter color than others. So it's a certain color blue with a gray undercoat. To me it came out looking very close.

That’s funny I have a vintage 65’ strat and been trying many new fenders but to me they feel like toys more like. Not saying there isn’t good new guitars around.

@@millmoormichael6630 I agree with the new ones. Again, mine is a 2002 60s reissue. I sold a new strat that I bought because of that exact thing. It sounded OK. I hated the way it felt. There was something about this one though. Also, my pick ups have been changed out as well.

I mean yeah but that's why he owns a successful vintage guitar shop and we don't.

Actually he is reducing the value by pointing out all these mostly meaningless flaws. He’s knows exactly what the guitar should sell for and he’s going to make his money.

As any smart business person should.

Yea it's called running a business.

@@rickjason215 If he would not his business would get bad reputation for not as described vintage stuff so in the end it's a win to be honest by this..

now that's funny ! So am I LOL

Its Straturday 9-11-2021 So I went to our local Guitar Center I picked up a ESP Arrow and plugged it into a very nice Fender modulating amp anticipating a little fun, but then I noticed the damn thing only had 5 strings on it I looked at the salesman just a few feet from me and said This guitar has a broken E string and he looked at me and smiled and said Yes it sure does and then he turned around and walked away So I unplugged it and put it back where I found it I guess because the guitar has a Floyd with locking nut it was just too much work for him to want to fix ? It was not that busy so I went into the acoustic guitar section and grabbed a Seagull 6 string It sounded really good but I went to drop the first string it broke because the guitar was strung wrong Seriously I cant make stuff like this up lol This really happened today Its all on camera Guitar Center Sucks

easy to fake guitars

Haha! Silviu still trolling the RU-vid comment sections. Remember what Tom Bukovac told you.

@@tedruybalid2262 yeah man. I can’t stand pseudoscience and all this mythology perpetuated by this people that are after our money. But the problem is that there are young guys that are mesmerized and future victims of this people. People believe everything this days. Now about Uncle L. There is no Uncle Larry video without him selling something. Is that what is all about in this world? Is it ? Calling friends people who you are always sell stuff? 🤝

If I had the money I’d get a nice vintage guitar to play in the studio or occasional jams, but I have some very, very nice guitars so I don’t really need one either. It’s really cool and I’ve played some, but it depends on what you’re using it for and what it means to you personally

The “old wood” thing is relatively “new”. They’ve run out of things to say about how much better the old guitars were. Even tho these guitars were only a couple of years old when used by all the famous players.

@@drippinglass You can cheat and use really nice pickups and modern amps to get that vintage sound but that is just my opinion. Its the feel of the neck of a fine well made instrument you cant get buying cheap guitars. Now days its hard to compete with the Chinese when it comes to electronics or else we would be making our own computer chips for cars and trucks built out of foreign made parts produced here in the USA

@@pissonguitarcenter8204 I got a CS 1955 reissue. It has a Nocaster U neck. It feels great! And it has a 9.5” radius with jumbo 6100 frets.

@@drippinglass love jumbo frets
