The Best Strat Ive Ever Played. 

That is noticeably pretty sounding. In a word I would say balanced. It’s parts combine harmoniously and chime like a bell. Great playing there.

Sounds amazing! Never thought that I would want a double P90 strat!

This is an incredible guitar my friend, no doubt about that , but it is pushed to fabulous heights by your marvellous mastery of the instrument !!!!! Made my day !!

It sounds incredible. Is absolutely gorgeous, and you absolutely do it justice with your playing. Top shelf video brother

Love love love this guitar. Semi hollow, strat body, p90's, rosewood board, light relic, metallic pink...😮❤

It honestly might be the best sounding electric guitar I've ever heard and I don't say things like that lightly..

Beautiful guitar - I’m not opposed to spending ridiculous amounts of money on worthy instruments but we are certainly paying a premium for the Fender name in this case. I have two master built custom strat style guitars - crafted start to finish by Ted Stevenson in Canada - even winds his own pickups and is a great amp builder as well - each of them were significantly less than the price of an average Fender Custom Shop strat - and I’ll tell you no lie - they hold their own against every other custom instrument I have - Happy New Guitar Day!

That is a truly beautiful guitar, you do it justice with your beautiful playing, awesome!

Wow, that guitar sounds beautiful. Definitely special, tons of character.

Great sounding guitar, a great look, and a great musician. Never heard you play before but there is a ton of presence in your playing.

I thought you were shredding more than usual then I realized I had the playback speed at 1.25 lol.

Sounds amazing. I think a PAF style humbucker in the bridge and a p90 in the neck would be a great combo too.

That ... is ... AMAZING! Absolutely love it! The look and sound are both incredible, plus I have to add that the playing is awesome. Thanks for the video!

Totally agree with your analogy about “Master Built” being a piece of art. Beautiful Strat with awesome P90’s 👍

So Beautiful Guitar.🎸🎶🎸

Really cool looking and great sounding guitar. Other than having a 'Strat' shaped body, I would hardly call it a 'Strat'. When somebody mentions a Fender 'Strat' this is probably the last thing one would envision. Either way the guitar sounds amazing! Great video Paul!

Very beautiful stratocaster And I do agree with the master builds being worth the price

Lovely instrument. It gives me inspiration to build a partscaster in the same style

Great video and demonstration, Paul. Well explained.

You are correct. This Strat sounds unique. I have always liked the way P90's break up. They are not for every occasion but fit well where they fit!

Oh I would have that in a heartbeat! Cool looks and sounds fantastic!

I agree. Two pickup starts are beautiful sounding. I refurbished a 92 Squire. Blocked the trem body and set it with a Wilkinson barrel bridge, three way switch, Banning filtertron pickups, bone nut....absolutely brilliant.

What a guitar...and i played hundreds and heard thousands in my 50 jears of playing, this one sounds special.....

That's the best sounding strat I've ever heard I think because the p90s are still single could but they have more bite it brings out that strat sound a bit more and being semi hollow makes it better still! Fantastic guitar!

Let me tell you Paul this is the best strat I’ve ever heard. I watched this video so many times. It just sounds so good. I think it has something to do with the F hole and probably the P90’s and of course your ability to play so good.

That's cool as hell. And it sounds just like and as good as it looks. I might have to bump up a 2xP-90 Strat to my project list for next year...and make it a semi-hollow.

In yuor hands, that is certainly one of the best sounds I have heard in a while - That's a beautiful airplane being flown by a master pilot! I agree, there's something very special about the combination of elements that Greg Fessler chose and it's wonderful that you have it in your hands

That sounded like spoke with folks by David Torn at the beginning…lovely…cheers!

Great sound and awesome pickups no 60 cycle hum either.Thanks Paul, nice playing and reverb

Love that you stretched out a little more with this demo. Sounds beautiful

Wow that thing sounds damn good. Makes me want to build a semi hollow p90 style guitar now!

Daymnnnnn even though you can make anything I've ever seen and heard you play sound good. That being said I've owned and played many Strats in my 71 years of life, that is definitely one of the sweetest Strats I've ever heard. 🤘❤️

It's beautiful. Tone is gorgeous. What a treat.

I think it looks and sounds amazing, I was sitting on the fence about modding a strat like this but you have convinced me to go ahead..

I was so inspired by the tone of this, that I just finished building one very similar. Swamp Ash Thin Line Strat body, with SD P90 Antiquities. I’ve had to experiment with different necks and electronics to get it just right the last couple months. I ended up with just a 500k MV and 500 MT, and converted the one pot to a no load, and a 3 way strat switch. It sounds so good now. I originally had a a Rosewood version of the neck like on the Frankie, but just wasn’t inspired… Then had a Warmoth build a 24 3/4 scale Strat conversion neck, compound radius , fat back, 1 11-16 bone nut, quarter sawn maple built and wow. The neck just arrived and put it right on yesterday. It’s like that hollow super light body needed that extra wood. It transformed the guitar from a 6.5 on the scale of 1 to 10 to. 9.5. It has a very different voice. Sounds brilliant when playing with loud music. Like in a band situation. Stands out and cuts through in a very pleasing way. Sounds very full. When I play it on its own, I think wow, where’s all the thickness? Has a fat honky thing about it. A strat it is not. But it’s not a P90 Gibson either. It’s a different thing all together, but plays great. Has wonderful sustain on its own. It’s just very different. Not really better or worse than my LP. My R6 Goldtop has fat punchy thing about it. This has this cool sustainy compressed thing with a different EQ curve. It definitely gets the mid tone in this video, and it is stupidly easy to play with that 24 3/4 scale. Hard to put down. But it’s definitely not a LP or a Strat. It’s its own thing.

Paul , I love watching The Studio Rats vids re’ all the different gear you test out and thrash through ; but I keep watching more of the vids to try - with all my attention and effort and concentration to Emulate your magnificent technique ; so effortless and flowing ; I’m hearing 100 notes , but seeing very little finger travel ; !!!! How do you do it - oh yeah a life time of playing and “Cutting those Chops “ of course

Amazing!! The bloom on the clean effect is incredible, could listen to it all day! That`s one sexy guitar and as you say, a one off, worth every dollar! Cheers from down under!

That Strat is just plain cool. Thanks for putting up this video.

Wow,what a great presentation and comparison of what P90" s. can sound like ,next to single coils on the same platform . to my ears the P90 has that extra punch , not taking anything away from single coils ,they definitely have their own place. Great playing and great video ....Cheers.

It has xtremely beautiful sound. Very balanced

Strat with P90s, my favorite pickups, great idea‼️

WOW! Definitely my next partscaster build, and I' not even a strat fan.

That is a magnificent sounding and looking Strat, one of the very best I've head on RU-vid. The P90 Pickups sound great. I've converted my Strat to a noiseless 2 pickup configuration. I've always liked the sound of P90s.

Beautiful sounding guitar. More curious about P90s now.

Fantastic tone. Reignited my lust for a custom Suhr Alt T with P90s.

P90s are the perfect pickups in my humble opinion. That guitar just sounds beautiful. I think one of the reasons it sounds so good is because it doesn’t have that middle pickup. Even when not engaged, the magnets of the middle pickup will pull on the string and influence the tone. That’s one of the reasons Teles sound so great.

I love the strat sound, this one is rare & unique. I use a DGT regularly, but at home I always go back to my strat 50th anniversary with Lindy Fralin

I could TRY to play it that way, pink or no, it sounds absolutely amazing!

Its hard to express how beautiful that guitar is and how badly i want it!

Like everything from Paul, great guitar, great tones, great solos, great chords…just great!

Sounds fantastic.. My thoughts: Greg just picked the wood and assembled the guitar (body, neck CNC.+.he didn't paint the guitar) The only way you can charge more and more and more is to attach a feeling of exclusivity to it, hence the need to give the "Masters" names and personalities Having said that, although I think the Custom Shop make consistently great guitars, I don't really buy into the Masterbuilt stuff, not sure where the money is going.

I've heard a few Fender's with P-90's and every time I run across one I always think that P-90's are much better in the Strat than the typical single coils.

That sounds great Paul... I still enjoy the sound of your traditional Strat as well, they are just different. But... this guitar sounds amazing. Congrats!

Wow! Beautiful tone - I play fingerstyle jazz and was thinking of putting these into a Strat?

I built one myself on a 98 Squier Affinity base, using Alnico V p90s a tele wiring loom, and that is my no 1 guitar over my signature Ibanez guitar, they have something really special, a listening your video it sounds amazing. Obviously my one is not in the same league like yours but the concept and the type of sound is very unique. P90s nowadays are love or hate things, but all the haters should try out one properly and there would not be any more questions.

Well they are worth the money if you have the money. That aside I think P-90s are magic in a Fender body tele or strat. I built a hard tail ash strat with three P-90s and I think it’s great I like having the two and four positions in there. The perfect blend between a single coil and humbucker . Now I’m putting together a tele thin line with a standard tele bridge and P-90s neck and middle. That’s a beautiful guitar if I could afford master builds I would probably do it.

That reverb though 😮😮❤❤

That strat sounds fantastic with the P90's ............ helped by some great playing!

magnifico.

I saw the thumbnail and was like...nope i heard it and was like ... yup! amazing sounding, now i want a strat with p90s

That's the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life!

I have noticed you playing that many times throughout multiple videos. It is number one a gorgeous guitar, with a very unique open clean, very articulated sound. Beautiful playing as always. I actually have my house for sale which will probably go by spring time and that will be the one time I’ll actually have the money to buy such an instrument. I have around a dozen Guitars but all in the $500-$2000 range. I would love to have an ax like that. thanks so much for the review.

I would SO play that guitar ! Love that pink !

Gorgeous sound. Clear and resonant.

Beautiful guitar, that middle position is to die for… 👍

So good. Playing compliments it. Great work.

No belly cut either? That's what makes the Strat body so comfy. Beautiful tone though. I just recently bought a Noventa Strat in Surf Green with 2 P90s. Waiting for it to show up at my local guitar shop.

🤤 That is FANTASIC! Truly stands out. I LOVE P90s, too, and those sound amazing even through my headphones.

I’ve had a CS paisley 69 thinline on order for over 15 months now. Rosewood board, like yours. Very excited to see and hear yours, but bored of waiting!

That guitar sound super sweet with the effect chain you have

Please make 1000 of these Fender!!

Beautiful guitar in tone and looks. Enjoy it Paul.

I own several Masterbuilt guitars (meaning built from A-Z by one person…, me) which I am very satisfied with 🎸😃🤘🏻

While I don't generally like reliced guitars, that thing is lovely to look at. The P-90's and semi- hollow body sound fantastic!

2 P90s….on a Strat. Never thought about it. Now I want to do that to one of mine.

I love everything about it, it's a beauty mate

Sounds great - those Antiquities sound great with the longer sale length

It is indeed an amazingly sounding guitar. Your preset on whatever machine you are using is excellent as well. Lucky man!

A Thinline with P90s?? Whoa! I absolutely love my EJ signature, love the way the Thinline plays with and without an amp. I'd love to try this one!

Wow that tone or ambiance you got.. Although these are P90's, it still sounds pretty much like a Strat. Especially when you were doing those SRV licks.. Beautiful playing BTW!.. It seems that strat sounds rounder, fuller or with more bass presence.

A semi hollow P90 Strat... WOW... sounds so nice, especialy that middle position.

Love that guitar. I could only love it more if I could afford it. Sounds amazing in your hands. Might be able to afford new Seymore Duncan Antiquities in a cheap strat.

Sweet clear sound like River of .. mad Season ?

Always love your playing and demos. You got me thinking bout P90s. Coolio

I feel this guitar and others similar to it are "Out of the Box" thinking builds. This guitars sounds beautiful. Thank you for the video

What I love about this guitar apart from how awesome it sounds is that the volume knob is lower and not in the way like on traditional strats.

I suspect like the majority of your subscribers I could never afford a masterbuild guitar. Having said that I totally appreciate that this guitar is a beautiful looking and more importantly sounding instrument. Yes there are fantastic factory built instruments but these to my ears at least are a cut above so characterful and unique, anyone who says otherwise is probably just pissed they cannot afford one. It's totally personal choice. Great Video and wow that Strat sounds sooo sweet Paul.

What a fantastic guitar and well said Paul, these guitars are made to very high standards and are worth every penny. When you said "I used to have a pink Tele" I pictured you watching a pink TV, but then the penny dropped. Great demo !!

Holy crap is that awesome. I want one of these! (would love it in the black paisley they've done some of the masterbuilt Teles in). Love this guitar.

Paul that guitar is not only have the looks but sounds so big and articulate. Love your playing. I love my Elliot tone master with P90s. I will get a custom fender next.

Sounds wonderful and your playing is really great. I might build one of these. Always wanted a Strat with P90s.

Great looking guitar, fantastic tone and wonderful playing...(wow on all fronts!). Lovely touch with the reverb; assume some delay on too. Congratulations!

Bloody beautiful, look and sound!

thta slow last riff was gorgeous

So beautiful guitar...the tone is amazing. Congrats!!!!

Spectacular video. Heavenly guitar. Now, if I only knew what other gear and emulation selections where in the signal chain.

That middle position is to die for. All I want from a guitar really.

New to the channel love the pink guitar reminds me of of an old marlin sidewinder my dad owned, beautiful tones and worth whatever you want to pay for it!

I have a strat copy with p90s, and a JA 90 copy. I love them both.

You get a fantastic sound out of every position of both guitars... Having said that, my favourite tones were the bridge single coil of the normal strat, the middle p90 position of the master built, Both neck pickups were equal in my eyes. The weird thing is, I have the opposite configuration haha. I have a Dinky that I've modded to have a P90 in the bridge and a single coil in the neck, with a blender pot (and a second neck). I kind of defaulted to this configuration thinking that a P90 would be the happy medium between a single and a hum, but that bridge single coil on your strat sounds so amazing, I might have to play more standard strats now
