@@craigusselman546Actually, it looks like a modern Strat. The period is discerned by the headstock size and shape, and the “Fender” logo, neither of which we can see. All of the Strat bodies are based on the 1954 Strat. The fretboard has 22 frets and Fenders only had 21 frets until about 1983/84. But I appreciate that to most people, it would look like the Strats which their favourite players used.
@@craigpimlott204it's sad too, cause the Vintera have that C shape people desire most from a Fender neck, and to hear they are twisted or damaged... is just sad.
@@caiusmadison2996 yes the neck is a good shape .I forgot about the back bow on one of the ones I tried ..the truss rod was loose and you could hear it rattling .but there was still no relief in the neck, it buzzed half way up the neck it was unplayable really. If it was a dual action truss rod I could of put a bit of relief into the neck but being a single action truss rod it was a no go a scrap neck without a lot of work .that one was a special edition Dave Gilmour version so was a lot dearer than a stock Vintera strat ..seems like there’s a lot of problems with these guitars .
That is a beautiful Strat, I still have my 25th Anniversary Strat I purchased brand new in 1980, your going to love your new Fender Stratocaster. ❤🌹❤🎵🥰🎸
The Strat is still the most iconic guitar ever made. When non-musicians think of an electric guitar, or artists create visuals or art of musicians playing electric guitar, it almost always ends up looking like a Fender Stratocaster.
Props to Lexi for not hiding my original comment. I wanna be clear I wasn't trying to poke at her just the corporations that have wedged themselves in between the artists; who just want to play music, and the fans who just want to listen and enjoy it. Thanks for hustling and making such good content for us Lexi. We appreciate you
I just bought a new Players Series Strat HSS Floyd Rose ,“Tidepool” model & I just want to stare at it…..lol. I got a new 1979 Strat for Christmas years ago & I ended up losing it due to stupid life choices. I really researched this one & it is perfect for me. I don’t care where it came from, yes it is assembled in Mexico, but I have gone over this thing, head to toe, & it is a beautiful guitar! No dings, no dents, sounds great, polished frets, no buzz, no fret sprouts, etc. I have learned a few things since losing my 1st Strat & that is I don’t take things for granted anymore. So Lexi I am happy you love your Strat, there is nothing like them!
I never want a Strat except for once in a blue moon. I like the metal humbucker guitars with the active pick ups. Maybe once every 5 years or so I might play a Strat I like & really want. I want that Strat. Well. A Strat like that one. I wouldn't take yours. That is a crazy fun guitar to me! Please play that Strat as much as possible. Thanks!
Aaaaand this is why it's important to always add to the guitar collection. Every new axe is a new source of inspiration. Beautiful guitar and excellent tune!
I love seeing people get that one guitar that they have wanted for so long….it’s beautiful and priceless what a guitar can make you feel even when your not playing it
Love it! I have a Player P bass in Ocean Turquoise metallic, and it smokes most basses I played in comparison. The only bass I’ve played that had a better feeling neck is the 40th Anniversary Squier P Bass. That neck’s satin finish and feel exceeds it’s price point. But my Player P Bass feels like home to me. I can imagine the same with the Strat. Your Strat sounds like how it should, and is beautiful. I have a ‘96 Squier Series Strat and it also feels and sounds amazing. Congrats on the new baby!
I got a fsr neon green with ebony fretboard version this week😁👍🎸and its very addictive guitar! Ive been a shred guy for 30 years...and now im loving that clean strat qwak
I just picked up an identical '22 model with the original body and the sticker still on the jack + a hard case. Traded 2 cheap guitars (I had $250 in both) for a beat up PRS, then traded the PRS for the Fender. Thing is a killer!
I usually have a comment about how adorable you are ( consider thisit)but that's a beauty as well my first love was my uncles 58 cream special order I played it through the 60s til I visited in 70 he took the strings off was sad till I got my 50th Anniversary 54 I for once know this feeling funny thing is my voice sounded like hers only 2 months ago what a delightful guitar
Love that colour! I ended up going for the shell pink with baked maple neck, which I love. But that buttercream is sexy as hell. Really great guitar for the money.
Buttercream is a fabulous color. It is dope out cool. They stock pups do sound great. I put a set of Seymour duncan YJM pickups in mine and it sounds like my custom shop Fender now.
I remember when I bought my Fender Stratocaster back in 1980. it was known as Olympic white, but years later it had changed to a butter cream and even darker in some places. I payed $440.00 including case back in 1980. It's amazing how much an American Fender Stratocasters cost congratulations!!
Most of these RU-vidr guitarists get guitars for free if they have a big enough following. Fender loves doing that especially with the young generation of artists.
@@Whoosh12345 oh... like that guy, Tomo Fujita. Not a young one, but has being presenting lots of Ibanez with strat design. But he used to play fenders, not Ibanez. Obviously the brand is pushing their products .
@@daniellopez9582 yeah it's a great way to push it. In my opinion it's why Ibanez and Fender are so popular among younger players. I don't see as many Gibsons.
