Who plays a Strat? Probably everyone who's ever picked up an electric guitar. Played by musical greats like Eric Claption, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Mark Knopfler, Ronnie Wood, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robbie Robertson, and a million others... the Fender Stratocaster has its name carved into the history of rock and roll. Manufactured in Corona California, the Strat is made from the best woods and crafted by ultra-skilled hands. Each American Series Stratocaster begs to be played.
HISTORY
Since its introduction by inventor Leo Fender on May 15, 1954, the basic design has remained unchanged, though it has certainly inspired many variations offered by Fender and other companies.
The Stratocaster was Leo Fender’s third offering in his line of solid-body electric instruments. The Strat followed the Telecaster Guitar and Precision Bass, which were introduced as prototypes in 1951 and brought to market the following year. Both instruments garnered success with musicians and Fender aimed to improve on his original designs as well as to expand his line with new models. He listened to comments from musicians and incorporated their ideas into the new instrument he had on the drawing board, which was to become the Stratocaster.
The name “Stratocaster” came from Fender’s business partner, Don Randall. It was intended to be reminiscent of aircraft technology, and reflect forward thinking and modern design. Indeed, it was - and still is - quite an innovative design!
Key differences between the Stratocaster and Telecaster:
The Stratocaster’s contoured cutaway body style was intended to improve balance and make the instrument more comfortable to play, as well as to allow greater access to the higher registers of the neck. A third (middle position) pickup was added to provide more tonal variations than the Telecaster could offer with only neck and bridge position pickups. But one of the most important new features of the Stratocaster was the tremolo bridge, which allowed players to bend strings in the same way a pedal steel player would.

A little help from me to all young strat players: 0:50 if your high e string moves on saddle like this and keep breaking... put a little plastic tube through string all the way down to string ball to cover sharp edges behind saddle. Now your string dont move and your string is up to 7 months with no snap. (You can cut plastic cover tube 1,5 cm long from any soft thin wire... like your old phone charger...) Second spot where your high e string snaps is at tunning peg sharp edge... for that you can wind a few extra layer to tunning peg so your last wind wont lay on any sharp metal but on tight winds of your string.

@kariahola463 5 лет назад

Probably one of the first "tremolo" effects was manufactured in Fender 50's amps. Tremolo is a slow-fast and/or light-strong shift of guitar signal output amplitude. Has nothing to do with flamenco, nor the whammy bar, which impacts on strings' tension. Check out tremolo pedals! These guys should know this, but the expression obviously has gone (un)convenient.

@blueprint4366 5 лет назад

I have played a lot of guitars and I have never once understood the notion that wood changes the sound. Two Strats with the exact same strings and pickups will not sound different because one is rosewood and one is maple.

@giovandenberghe1628 2 года назад

It does make a difference, every guitar sounds different from another. Even at all the same specs they will sound different. The pickup picks up the vibration of the string, so you could say wood doensn't matter at all because wood ain't magnetic. But the way the string vibrates is a complex result of the way the guitar is made and what it is made of. Soft or harder wood will have an impact on the way the string vibrates, and that wil absolutely change the tone, sustain etc in small or bigger ways. And that goes for every part of the guitar.

Very very nice. Still imho the very decisive part is the design and construction quality of the neck/fingerboard assembly. These ones look fantastic indeed.

@rodriguezelfeliz4623 5 лет назад

«the choice of wood for thw body affects the sound of the guitar» Hahahaha. Tonewood!

@AragornCF 5 лет назад

Actually it does. The pickups register the magnetic perturbations caused by the vibrating strings, but the vibrations of the strings pass through the body and neck of the guitar as well, and then back onto the already vibrating strings, where they then influence the vibrations by affecting the harmonics. This is also why a (semi-)hollowbody guitar sounds different from a solidbody. A guitar is a complete system of mutually interactive components. Everything has an influence, from the construction of the guitar (solid/semi-hollow/hollow, bolt-on/set/neck-through) over the different wood types, the fret type and material, the string material(s) and string gauge, all the way to how the pickups are wound, what materials the pole pieces are made of and what size they have, whether there is a magnet bar underneath the pole pieces or it's the pole pieces themselves that are magnetic, and what type of coil wire and magnets are used. It really does all work together. That's why no two guitars, even when made on the same day, will sound the same. And then there's the rest...: the cable length, the amplifier used, the speaker cones and magnets, and last but not least, the player. Let ten different people play the same guitar through the same amplifier and speaker, with the same settings and the same cable ─ even using the same pick ─ and they will all sound different to one another, depending on how they pick the strings and how they place their hands on the fretboard. Don't take my word for anything I say. Just check it out for yourself. :)

@rodriguezelfeliz4623 5 лет назад

@@AragornCF I know mate, however (correct me if Im wrong) the pickups, cable, strings, amp, effects etc.. are far more relevant to your tone. I also agree thar it does matter (a lot) if the guitar is hollow, solid etc... but Ive seen a few videos building and comparing guitars with the exact same components and shape, but differend wood, and the difference is barely there. So, yes, tonewood might be true, but I think that all of the other factors I mentioned come first and there is no point in spending a lot of money in something so small. Still that is just my opinion, and youre allowed to have your own and buy whatever makes you happy and sounds/feels right to you.

@DeadGlassEyes 7 лет назад

Suhr are NOT overpriced Fender's. You've obviously never tried one or know how much work and technology goes into making one. They are NOTHING like Fender guitars. Suhr's are expensive for a reason, and those reasons are not cosmetic. It's down to choice of woods and engineering, use of materials, time spent hand finishing, etc etc. The list goes on forever. That's why they are consistent and why Fender definitely isn't.

Never in my 50 years of playing have I heard a definition of a fret that lame, and not a single mention of the word "metal". People who don’t play would at least say metal. This guy works for Fender? He has to be a relative of someone higher up in the company.

@Cigarsnguitars 5 лет назад

KimKnows EvenMore First off frets are the metal strips imbedded in the neck at a precise measured location. It has nothing to do with a keyboard at all. It does have to do with the particular note you’re trying to get i.e. you have a fret already in the neck for the C#. The next note you will be in search of is a D. Based on the mathematical calculations you will know where the fret will be placed. The fret is put into the fretboard using the correct caul that corresponds with the radius of the fretboard. This process is repeated until all frets are in. New frets are generally longer than needed on the fretboard so you’ll have to go back around and clip the frets even to the edge of the fretboard. Once this is done you’ll have to perform a fret dressing to make sure the frets are in place and the ends of each fret are going to slice your fingers up as you play. There’s more to this process to complete a fret job but I’m tired and don’t feel much like being a professor on this subject. Find a good repair book (StewMac has an excellent book) to use as a guide. As for the pipe, I enjoy cigars with my beers but I cannot have beer any longer. I’m disabled after being electrocuted 7 years ago and I’m still working on learning how to play guitar again. I’ve played for 50 years but now that doesn’t mean a thing. Good luck with your frets. 🤘

Tremolo is originally a picking technique (as he says) that can also be electronically mimicked by modulating the volume or loudness. Vibrato is a modulation in pitch. These are two completely different things and Fender has mislabeled them from the get go.

I believe they originally had to label them incorrectly in marketting because of patents/trademarks and the confusion just caught on. similar story with the telecaster being originally called the "broadcaster" but gretsch already used the name (for drumkits i believe?) so they chopped up the headstocks of the already assembled broadcaster and put the new name on. the headstock shape of the telecaster is still based on the chopped up headstocks.

Detlef Davis the different scales, pickup placement and actual pickups are the main difference, the type of wood changes nothing, or almost nothing.

@mindeloman 4 года назад

Nope, if wood didn't matter then acrylic and synthetic materials would be far cheaper to use...fender themselves put out a video some years back talking about wood selection. Extremely hard and dense woods will give the guitar a twangy sound with a lot of sustain. Soft woods would give it a deep bottom ene sound (perfect for metal) but sustain would be very thin. The secret is somewhere in the middle. Which is why Ash and Alder are popular choices. Fender actually uses a machine to check density of each slab. I've always wanted to make a guitar with a dense center section (bridge width) and cap the ends with extremely light wood like a soft white pine. Just as an experiment. Will attempt when other projects are done.

@BTsMusicChannel 5 лет назад

I am quite aware of how EVH created his Frankenstrat -- you can read about it in the first chapter of my PhD dissertation if you like. I never said he used Fender bodies. If your mind is big enough, there are "stratocasters" that are not Fender Stratocasters. I stand by the comment that EVH revolutionized the stratocasters potential (for better or worse) by: (1) putting a PAF humbucker in the bridge, (2) giving it a signature paint scheme so that it becomes iconic of the particular guitarist, and (3) later replacing the whammy bar with a Floyd Rose. Please try to dispute those claims. You cannot deny that EVH changed even Fender's concept of the Stratocaster -- by the late 80s they were already making HM Stratocasters and today they make HSS Stratocasters, regardless that he used originally a Charvel body (because they were cheap and available to him before Van Halen went big) and that Kramer took over in the 1980s. Thank you, and you have a nice day now. P. S. I hope that it makes you feel good to call people names, but I suppose that it might be your only mode of communication when in disagreement.

Very astute. :) Most people think of Jimi Hendrix as the ultimate Strat player, but Jimi owned and played many different guitars. Among other things, he owned and played a Danelectro, a black Gibson Les Paul Custom, a white (3-pickup) Gibson SG Custom, at least two Gibson Flying Vs and a Fender Jaguar ─ all next to his Strats, of course. Clapton also played just about everything, from Danelectro over several Gibsons ─ SG, several Les Pauls, ES-335, Firebird ─ to Telecasters and then eventually Stratocasters. SRV on the other hand ONLY ever played Strats ─ with .013 strings, tuned down a half-step. ;)
