Do you want a new old guitar? GOOD NEWS! Fender has a whole line of new old guitars they are calling the "American Vintage II" line. Of course I went for the 66' Jazzmaster but maybe you think I should have covered a different guitar from the line, tell me what you think in the comments section. And try to talk me out of messing up this pristine new old guitar with sketchy relic techniques. By the way I changed the strings on this guitar before filming, I just prefer heavier strings on my jazzmasters and I wanted to show off they way I would have it set up.

As an offset fan myself, You picked the right guitar for sure! Yes you should relic it...by playing it everyday.

@somethingelsedoesmatter Год назад

The only acceptable relicing.

@watersnortmoment3734 Год назад

Plus these have a pretty thin layer of nitro, so it’ll actually relic itself properly

@ullr1159 Год назад

You’re the surf master. There’s no better guitar than the JM to see you demo. And if you just play it - that will ‘relic’ it without any extra effort. 👍

@JazzGuitarFan72 Год назад

Nope, that’s the right one. I would not suggest relicing that guitar, since it will relic naturally.

@dorianford6227 Год назад

That Nitro coat is life. My friend and I have American Originals and he was horrified about the scratches and I was like my dude I love that it gives the guitar character that’s the beauty of the nitro coat

@bassnsax Год назад

Right guitar. I would say don't intentionally relic it, but let it naturally relic over time.

@philipmonaghan8267 Год назад

Beautiful guitar! Beautiful sound! DON'T YOU DARE RELIC IT!!!!!!!!!

@QueuePea Год назад

I love this iteration of the Jazzmaster. A local music store has an Original 60s Jazzmaster and a Lake Placid Blue Vintage II Jazzmaster in stock, so I was able to compare them, and the 7.25" radius fretboard on the Vinyage II was a better fit for my hand than the 9" one on the Original 60s. I always try guitars unplugged first so I can focus on how they feel, then I plug them in. I ran out of time, so that's going to be what I compare next, when I go back. So far, I love this guitar, and it was a good one to pick for this demonstration and review.

@LuisRFeliu Год назад

yes, you chose the right guitar and color. Put it directly at sunlight for a couple of months. I did that with my dakota red "new" old fender mustang and it turned into a beautiful vintage faded red guava color. Then you can relic it. I think it would look a little off with that brand new looking red finish. whatever you decide we'll be watching!!

@thejuggernaut5327 Год назад

Yes, you’re exactly the guy I want to hear demoing the offset!

@anthonycedarstaff2969 Год назад

Beautiful jazzmaster; I'm a sucker for block inlays. I think you picked the right guitar, and though i'm not a fan of relics, i'd be curious to see what tasteful relic options you'd pick.

@GamerPastHisPrime Год назад

Definitely the one I would have picked. In that colour too. I have a Sherwood Green JM, and I still want that one lol. I wouldn’t Relic it. It’ll get there on it’s own if you love it enough. I have a relic’d Jag in Dakota red, and it’s nice, but the shine on yours has my eyes open wide. I’d keep it like that as long as you can.

@GearGasms Год назад

I just got the Squier 40th and believe it or not I was The Impression That I Get as well! I only figured out the barre chords because I’m only at 30 Cycle Hum playing level but still - underdeveloped minds “think” alike! 😜🤘🏻🎸

@lawrencedb Год назад

I recently got Squier 40th - love it

@davidlynch4338 Год назад

I love it and I am definitely interested in it. I only wish it came with the 9.5" radius fretboard. I'd love a binding and blocks Jazzmaster with that radius... Maybe some more colours would be nice as well. I like the red and blue, but some new interesting choices would be cool. I know it is a 66 re-issue, but... Please don't relic it. Just play it. It would be more interesting to see how it ages naturally with someone putting in some long hours playing it.

@iosonofrancesco Год назад

Search for an American Original one...is the totally the same guitar but with a beautifoul 9.5 radius fretboard.

@aluminati9918 Год назад

Not against relics, but this I’d keep clean. A gold anodized pick guard maybe? Nice guitar and cool vid. Keep it up.

@60CycleHumcast Год назад

im thinking anodized would be a cool look, also i have a weird thing for single ply white pickguards. i might try going that direction.

@thomaswilkinson4027 Год назад

Wouldn’t a gold one make it look a bit “Macdonald’s” though?

@ryanhurst3859 Год назад

Definitely relic it because you said you've always wanted that. Don't let the comments affect how much you like your guitar. Videos on the relic will also create more content, and could help people out who have never relic'd anything.

@AndrewWukusick Год назад

Yes and yes! I love seeing your relic or mod videos

@fuzzboi2712 Год назад

Definitely made the right choice although I really want to see the teles with the wide ranges demoed. Part of me wants to watch a relic job being done but the other part says let it age naturally.

@Metalpug79 Год назад

The Dakota Red color you chose looks really nice, but since I'm always partial to blue, I would've probably chosen the Lake Placid Blue. Each of the colors do look good though

@brianpoole9514 Год назад

Right one! I suggest playing it outside in the mornings and evenings so you get the sunshine and playing relic.

@luckyrocks1 Год назад

Yes, beautiful choice of the vintage II line. And I absolutely prefer NOS guitars over Relics!

@patricksenter3958 Год назад

You absolutely got the right guitar. And yeah you should relic it (over the course of the next few decades or so). But seriously it looks great and sounds fantastic.

@TheAmazingSnarf Год назад

it's gorgeous, you picked exactly the right one. yes, please relic it by touring with it for thirty years.

@noahpauley Год назад

Great video! I was talking to Mike Adams yesterday asking his opinion on this new line. I personally thought these were perfect modern interpretations until he brought up one thing that I couldn't ignore. These are supposed to be 66 JMs but they have a pre-CBS headstock. Quoting him, "Don't call it a 66 if it isn't a 66."

@sunn_bass Год назад

Nice color. No need to relic as the nitro should wear on its own. To me, even the best fake relic jobs look fake. Sweet guitar you picked. I need a red guitar.

@michaelorourke7032 Год назад

Wow!!! It sounds fantastic!! It doesn't need to be relic'd it will age on own..you didn't choose the guitar, the guitar chose you.

@boxcarstewart311 Год назад

Its a beaute! That red, red headstock, block inlays, binding on the neck. Over the top, and perfect!

@markinthemix6055 Год назад

Gotta give ya credit. This is probably the best demo on this guitar

@lowelldukeman9698 Год назад

That’s the right guitar. Something you may relate to: Hank Marvin thinks relic guitars are not a good thing. But it is your choice to ruin a beautiful new guitar that a Fender crew tried their best to make perfect. 😔

@TheMerc1950 Год назад

I like the new lighting in the beginning for the guitar, but you need a second source of light to level it out a bit. Love the guitar, it is a beautiful choice.

@60CycleHumcast Год назад

I KNOW! i really like that backlit wall look, i actually had 4 lights running durring the intro. a small light at table level for the guitar, two dim side lights and the light pointed at the background. I need to get a second overhead light to be a hair light while the wall is being illuminated.

@devlintaylor9520 Год назад

Maybe some dramatic and spooky lights coming from the floor aiming at the guitar?

@danielcarter3928 Год назад

this thing is sick. i don't know why though but i just prefer dots to block inlays on Fenders. regardless an awesome guitar.

@AndrewWukusick Год назад

If you do plan on relicing it, since it is nitro you can age the finish with powerful uv light, or get checking by heating it then quickly putting it in somewhere very cold. Like put it out in the hot sun for the afternoon then immediately put it in a chest freezer. It does have a risk of warpage if it's too extreme though so that's something to note

@DanFlashes99 Год назад

I can't explain why but I think red lends itself to relicing more than other colors. I would have gotten Lake Placid blue myself, but with the red, I think light relicing would look good

@stephanematis Год назад

You are my Jazzmaster 'master, since I want atmospheric Surfy stuff to emanate. And yeah, thanks Fender for keep Ryan treated to such guitars. I'm a Lake Placid Blue guy, and have an American Original body in that sweet colour to match up with my bound rosewood Eric Johnson (Strat) neck. Yeah, I'm one of those mix-n-match partscaster types...

@ryangunwitch-black Год назад

I love it. I dig the matching headstock so much. I'm going to get the 61 Strat, then a tele then one of these. It sounds great.

@PedalChainsAddiction Год назад

Love the Jazzmaster. I do think the Lake Placid Blue is gorgeous, but you can’t go wrong with a Dakota Red. I absolutely think you should relic it. I’d love to see both the result and the process. Nice work changing the strings. Incidentally, what brand of strings do you like? Does it change depending on the gauge? Who makes the best 11s?

@60CycleHumcast Год назад

I’m using string hot these days. I also really like the daddario coated strings for longevity.

@MrSJPowell Год назад

It will self relic. Give it time IMO, but up to you. It's your guitar.

@TrickyPickins Год назад

I would say not to relic it, but if you wanted to change the looks while keeping the offset vibe, I would try putting white competition stripes on it. I think that would look pretty good.

@cowtowncustoms2110 Год назад

I Love it! That is just what I want for myself. I have wanted one for years but the different pickups and noiseless pickups just made me say no! Now I just have to say yes to spending the money, Thanks Ryan!!!

@luispereztasso Год назад

NO FAKE RELICS PLEASE. That guitar is so gorgeousssssss.

@jamesryan1939 Год назад

I have reliced a nitro guitar before, it is an art to make it not look really fake and terrible. If you do I would stick to dings, checking, and aging the plastic and metal parts. Making the wood look aged is very difficult.

@sassycat Год назад

I want to get a blue one, and relic it through playing only. Great guitar, you're a grown ass man, relic it if you want. 😸

@MRYOUNG123451 Год назад

Love the color! But I know that all the fender American reissue made after the 1980s don’t have a white primer undercoat, In fact it’s a polyurethane sealer over wood and then color and clear . My 1986 57 reissue p bass is fiesta red with a white undercoat. Small details that I thought would share. Great video and playing keep it up👍

@lordimpaler3899 Год назад

Bro, this guitar is you all day. This is the most "in your element" video I've ever seen on this channel. Also...relic away dude...make it your own 🤘

@spencerfreed6947 Год назад

Great choice Ryan, I love it! And yes...relic that beauty and make it your own!! I'd be super excited to see that episode!!! Congrats

@Taallyn Год назад

"Don't make eye contact, and it won't get awkward." I'm glad you got this one to review.

@jbf16falcon Год назад

Hell no, don’t fake wear. Wear it into an honest look. As far as it goes I think the ‘63 mahogany Tele would have been second for you but you nailed the right one for your sounds and the color is great.

@baileywatts1304 Год назад

Leave that beauty in a window and let the sun work its magic on the finish. Do it, let that finish get a little faded and cloudy. Put on a spiked wristband and strum it up, get crazy with your relicking

@juanjan__ Год назад

11:25 The impression that I get and I'm even happier 🙌

@DavidGarcia-pi9wn 6 месяцев назад

I don’t know how many times I watched this video while I had mine back ordered and after 2 months of hearing nothing from Sweetwater there was a big fender case outside my door lol I guess they shipped it and never told Needless to say it’s a masterpiece

@edryba4867 Год назад

Relic it? YOU DOPE! But it DOES sound glorious! And the “Fender Floating Tremolo” is quite cool.

@xleftsidex1627 Год назад

I don't know man, your playing is really good. This is a very great demo for the jazzmaster. You're demonstrating its sonic potential much better than those dudes on the Fender yt channel.

@chrisgarceau9282 Год назад

Jazzmaster is my favorite. If you wanna relic it it's you to do what you want

@charlie-obrien Год назад

Thanks for explaining that rhythm switch. Up until right now I never understood what made these guitars a "Jazz" Master, Man, Leo was a frikkin' genius! In answer to your questions; It comes in 3 Tone Sunburst and Lake Placid Blue, but you picked the right color, Dakota Red is just different enough to standout in your collection, but still got that '66 vibe. The wood is Alder. Yes, relic (or not) to your hearts delight. It's your guitar and if it were mine I would do light checking on the body with the freezer technique and leave the neck and head stock alone. I would also put a cool surf sticker on it. 🏄‍♀ And yes you picked a winner with the Jazzmaster. It suits you. Would I tune in to watch Ryan play C&W on a vintage Tele? Probably not. You are, after all the Drippy King! (sorry, that's the best I could come up with). Lol

@adamgs82 Год назад

I love Jazzmasters, I love block inlays and I love matching headstocks... No opinion on relicing... Lovely guitar!

@gorlagOv Год назад

I like my Jazzmaster, I am glad you picked it. I would like it more if it had a different radius. Yeah let’s see that thing with a relic!

@devilsdoorbell Год назад

Just before you said it, I was thinking "a $2400 guitar shouldn't have those QC issues." I'd figure a Squier might have them, but not this. My only gripe about the authentic 60s style is the truss rod adjustment placement. I have a 60s MIJ bass and had a local tech route out a channel so the neck doesn't have to come off to adjust the truss rod. I'm in the camp that doesn't like relics beyond a very light to almost medium effort. By the time you're doing the forearm paint rub, I'm out. But I can't deny that some paint checking and a few dings and scuffs would suit it just fine, or some UV fade.

@Topsy_Krett Год назад

Ryan, you were born to own and love that fabulous Jazzmaster. Now I want one too!

@bretolson8484 Год назад

Oh. My. GAAAARD! 1. Yes 2. No. It’ll happen on its own… but if you want to then yes. That guitar was made for you. Put your outro on iTunes, I’ll buy that for a dollar. That was epic JM jamming man, and I’m sober. You just looked so happy I want another JM now. Thanks for that. 😎

@freshprinceofbeleren3022 Год назад

I like the idea of getting cream covers and letting it gently relic itself over time through little things like being in the window like you said.

@randrothify Год назад

Don’t artificially relic it. Relic it naturally by playing it. It is quite stunning as it is with that great Dakota Red shine that looks great spanking new!

@SSquirrel1976 Год назад

LPB is my favorite guitar color so I would have gone w/that over Dakota Red every time. Then again, CME has an LPB JM w/matching headstock for a lot cheaper, so making some upgrades it's way cheaper. I'm not a relic fan personally, but sounds like you want to, so your enjoyment playing it wins. This will be a great guitar to continue your dive into shoegaze tho

@spaceman_jeff 6 месяцев назад

Love that ax. Relic it. You have tons of shiny guitars, do you have a relic'd one? No? Well, you could. Relic'd JMs look so damned cool.

@bradsims7089 Год назад

I know nothing about jazzmasters. The controls for dummies section was appreciated.

@60CycleHumcast Год назад

lol, i knew it was for someone. thanks.

@justice100forwin2 3 месяца назад

Gorgeous guitar.....sounds really special.

@Wolf_K Год назад

Beautiful color, Dakota Red.

@johnthelad Год назад

Great review. Really great Jazzmaster, I think the best reissue so far from Fender. The pickups are superb and sound how a Jazzmaster should. I'd definitely buy this one without a doubt, but I damn well just bought a new Jazzmaster Pro II, and spent money on having it PLEK setup, and sorted out the Panorama tremolo spring issue as per your earlier video. Anyway, I think yours just looks too new, and it would sound even better if you gave it the relic treatment. You would love it even more.

@mynamethog1151 Год назад

How you finding your pro 2 ? Local shop near me has a dark night jm for a reeeeally tempting price right now

@johnthelad Год назад

@@mynamethog1151 I'm really happy with the Jazzmaster after having it setup properly. The rear pickup in the vintage setting is a very nice option on this guitar. I think it sounds especially nice through a Fender valve amp like a Deluxe Reverb.

@jeffanderson8384 Год назад

That thing is DREAMY!! Simple stunning! And NO! don't relic it... keep it shiny and new! The aging will come with time.

@grizmileham7029 Год назад

13:30 Thank you. I don't know Jazzmasters very well and appreciate the explanations.

@luispereztasso Год назад

And that final jam it sounded like something like Wilco meets Ride meets Pavement. Love ittt

@SandlinOfficial Год назад

Love the review and last jam - has a lot of Filter: Take My Picture vibes to it

@60CycleHumcast Год назад

Lol it totally does. It started out as piranha by tripping daisy and then morphed into a general 90s vibe.

@davidreidy5750 Год назад

Love playing my Jazzmaster and Jazzbazz!!♥️🤖📼

@davidkenneth3983 Год назад

Workin out the bugs is why old ones are cool part of the process of making it cool over time your right quality control my 60 was hang tag new and sounded extraordinary just fab 47 pro.15.

@rhythmace22 Год назад

I think you should relic it over time by playing the snot out of it! Amazing guitar wish I could afford my own❤

@HowlinAndyDE Год назад

Ryan is the guy for everything Surf Guitar for me and Spring Reverb. He is no snob for Vintage or cheap stuff... He uses them all... and he points out the flaws. If i ever meet you... You are one of the most genuine People on the Tube. For the Jazzmaster... for that Pricepoint.. the flaws are unacceptable for me at least. Other than that... this is one the guitars i would definately buy if i had the money... especially for that color..

@rowbags3017 Год назад

It looks and sounds a real stunner! Totally right for you - and I'm not jealous at all... (OK - I'm lying on the last bit!). Re: should you relic it? - No. Just don't handle it with kid gloves and simply play it regularly like it clearly deserves, and it'll soon pick up real dings etc. and you'll have the satisfaction later of being able to look back and know that they are genuine. Real wear is a sign of good guitar. It'd be much more interesting and informative for you to post occasional updates showing how genuine wearing is occurring than trying to fake it.

@TSFAHTPS Год назад

Yes and yes…PLUS a less boring pickguard

@Beans1 Год назад

You’re awesome and so is this guitar

@Williamk492 Год назад

No, please leave it as it is. It’s stunning!

@RyanOManchester Год назад

I love that Dakota Red (though the lake placid probably would have been my personal choice) but I just don't like painted headstocks. I'm not sure why but I almost always prefer just the bare maple over a painted headstock

@surf247365 Год назад

I’m getting the Blue one & the True spring pedal. I have a stereo rig. Can’t wait!🤙🏽🙏🤘🏽

@dw7704 Год назад

Since everybody else is reviewing the Teles and Strats, so yes you chose the right one.

@bloodfeathermoon7952 Год назад

That's a perfect Jazzmaster model to relic.

@jensk4140 Год назад

Stunning looking and sounding guitar, i'm jealous!

@ChrisEck13 Год назад

The great thing about nitro is that it will relic on its own. I wouldn't try to relic it, just let it wear and age naturally, the more you play it, the more it will wear.

@tomm1tch Год назад

Would LOVE to have seen this in the blue. Definitely interested in seeing the relic process!!

@CerealDust-nStuff Год назад

I just bought an American Vintage ll as well.

@xx_HI_xx7 9 месяцев назад

I would love one of these JMs. They look great.

@redjet4810 Год назад

Lake placid blue. Mastery bridge.

@sportyrider72 Год назад

i think the natural relic look would look awesome, or just relec'd in the places a well played fiddle would have from use!

@doctorscoot Год назад

you picked right. the jazz master is the one of these models I would pick. I think there's a blue (w/ headstock) and a 3 part burst with a natural headstock. but. leave it alone. let it relic naturally. its way more fun to watch a guitar like that age naturally. if you want a relic get a custom shop or road worn / vintera.

@jmledesma88 Год назад

RELIC!! just go for it! the "it will relic over time" argument works if your grandkids are gonna do youtube reviews we can se in our retirement homes... provided you play just this guitar and no others for the rest of your days...

@brianrollins7275 Год назад

That opening was excellent, thanks.

@octopaul Год назад

that's a great colour for a JM. Really liked the outro jam too!

@benford1726 Год назад

That sounds amazing, I need a set of those pickups in my life

@JLGortman 15 часов назад

Very disappointed to not see a relic video after just finding this one! Get it done!

@nym053 Год назад

I'm not into matching headstocks (unless if it's a natural look guitar), but that red color on the body is nice and stimulating.

@vincemcman4086 Год назад

It’s beautiful. The only one that caught my eye

@goss1961 Год назад

That's the best colour Jazzmaster ever, imo.

@segazora Год назад

I swear Fender saw me buy one of those '93 MIJ jazzmasters with the matching headstock and thought they'd rerelease the iconic look.

@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur Год назад

Don’t relick please. She is beautiful. And those pickups sound gorgeous. I am a gibson humbucker guy. But those pickups are just jummy. The guitar is iconic.
