Fender Custom Shop Unboxing 24/11/2020: The Biggest Fender Custom Shop Unboxing You'll Ever See! 

I do appreciate too, well done John & co. The only problem is there's not that many Teles! We want Tele Customs too, in all the pretty colours!

I'm also a lefty and thinking about ordering a custom shop because I want a Lefty 70s big headstock and it's damn near impossible to find so ima just order a custom shop rosewood fret board with the big headstock can't wait lol.

I hate relics 😉

Those first two Dale Wilson's are incredible

Were the vegans of guitar

A lot of people think that their opinion are important even when they are not ask for them... personality i just don’t buy what i don’t like i don’t feel the need to tell people that don’t think like me they are idiots. But hey! We are all the idiot of someone i guess ;)

If there wasn't a market for relics, then they obviously wouldn't make as many!

I know, and in fact they are screw on necks, and some back in the late 60's into the 70's had only 3 screws!

I'd love to see some more 80s-style guitars from Fender. It'd be cool to see guitars modified exactly like people used to modify them, with extra pickups, preamp circuits, effects loops, 12" radii, etc. None of these strike me as particularly brave, interesting, or even believable. Really? A guitar that was played that much (Heavy relic) has mostly original pickups? Not IRL. 100% someone would have put a Dimarzio in there at some point, or turned it into a twin humbucker dealio, or maybe even a P90? There's so much room to do cool stuff that the custom shop shys away from due to their lawyer and dentist fanbase.

@@Diax1324 the cool thing is you can get a bunch of 80’s stuff relatively cheap still. Like a strat plus with the lace sensors. They’re so freakin cool! Or an old Clapton signature model. Usually can snag them for less than custom shop

@@erickmo1188 well what I mean is that we have heavy relic guitars that look like they got played 50 hours a day in the 1960s, but then hid in a closet until 2003. And then got played again. There’s no continuity in these instruments. It’s as if the 70s and 80s never happened. A lot of these guitars were HEAVILY modified. Any one that got played as much as a heavy relic appears to have would have been modified or severely damaged at some point. What I’m looking for is a series of “survivor” strats. Hot pink over sunburst, two Humbuckers, Floyd rose installation. Or a 70s fusion strat - a 54 strat sanded to natural with a Humbucker in front of the bridge single coil. These instruments just have no evidence in their design of having been truly played. They’re just torn up. They could do a “restored” series with missing pickguards but 3 single coils screwed directly to the wood, or with a tune o matic placed directly over a Floyd rose cavity. People modify their instruments over time. No 60s strat that got played as much as these are reliced to indicate would have 3 original single coils and an original six screw bridge, let alone klusons. I have no problem with relics, but they need to tell a story. I’ve played real 60s Strats, and they usually have a couple of dings at the worst if they aren’t utterly annihalated by modifications.

We hope it lived up to your expectations, Darren!

@@PeachGuitars Guys that was massive. Talk about CS overload! Brilliant

CS Strats are relatively cheap. Price a CS Jag , Jazzmaster , or CS Gibson or Martin.

@@captainamerica9353 cheap is relative to the person man. If I splurged on a master built custom shop it would be almost a third of my yearly income. Laugh at the peasant if you like but they aren’t cheap. I’m only 25 and really do hope im in the position for one in the future, but at the moment I have to be happy with my classic vibe.

That is totally in keeping with the fake vibe of the whole pretentious nonsense !

Yeah relic guitars r dumb lol just do it urself over time... Im not paying someone to beat my guitar up for me lol.

The stars align! Enjoy your new guitar!

Yeah relics r just over hyped over priced nonsense.

Same I'm also a lefty and found a Custom shop I really wanted on reverb and just had to have it gotta wait a few months before I go guitar shopping again for any serious purchases.

Yep, do not use them for gigging. Totally impractical. Authenticity is pointless if end result not fit for purpose.

@@OverDraughtBand amen to that! I like a lot about both modern and vintage instruments. A lot of whats on the vintage stuff genuinely gives it a better sound but I like a mix. Flatter radius for playability, modern touches to bridges and tuning pegs for tuning stability and actually being usable. Oh and a case that can actually protect my £3350 investments when I'm gigging and going to the studio! 😅

@@OverDraughtBand some of the gibson custom ones are the same, especially the aged cases.. Wouldn't dream of gigging with one.

Sounds about right spend 3-4$k on a guitar only to get it shipped in shitty poorly made cases.. I love hard shell cases but they do get stuck at times which is annoying.

@@subzero308 yeah the guitar inside is dreamy but dam these cases look good and that's were it ends. They are awful 😅

They were doing the same thing 2 years ago, so I don't know what you mean.

All them apparently smh I want the left handed fiesta strat they have on their website but its like 3.1k$ (UK pounds) which comes to about 4k$ or something around that in US dollars. Wish it was 3k$ US dollars or if they allowed buy now pay later payment's for US customers. But I just bought a new Custom shop today so I'll be good for a while but I will have that Fiesta red Strat someday if I can ever find it in America. Or if I decide to drop 4k$ on a guitar ever.

You can indeed, Chris! It's a Mark Five 35 Combo: bit.ly/3iZP4j3

Over-priced anyway !

Good we need them down to like 1k$ cause guitars r ridiculously over priced for no reason.

@@subzero308 you ever think maybe if you valued skilled labor a bit more you’d be able to afford one, “overpriced” would mean Fender is making a bunch of guitars they aren’t selling. Fender Custom Shop sells every guitar they make and even have a long waiting list for master builds. Far from overpriced and skilled craftsman should make a good living. Not everyone is working shitty minimum wage jobs ;)

@@cardbored_ lmao I own a few so I can afford them but that doesn't change the fact that they're indeed Overpriced. U order a Mod shop guitar and it still comes to 1.5k-2k$ depending on what u get on it that's just a basic fender strat/tele. They shouldn't be that much at all I own a custom shop and a mod shop strat and ill tell u right now the custom shop is nice and so is the mod shop but neither deserve their price point. But then again guitars r just priced what ever someone is willing to pay for them. I love all my guitars but I'll still say they were over priced.

Seafood green 😂😂 bloody auto correct

@@darrenc8776 heheh 😂😂😂

LOL mmm seafood green!

It's still there, John! Unboxings, feature videos, interviews etc will always be posted to this channel, but the product demonstrations will be over at The Peach Boutique. Head over there to check out the demos of these guitars later this week (27th Nov '20): bit.ly/2UmvaEs

Good

Yeah I need a lefty Custom strat with the 70s big headstock cause I have the normal headstock's but being a lefty we get no love at all.

That’s why they drive on the wrong side of the road.

I know someone who ordered a master build I think it took about 2 yrs.

Sad sad days... The big headstock is the best I'm a lefty so its damn near impossible for me too find one. But I'm thinking about ordering a custom shop I just don't know what I need to do to order one sadly.
