This fender booth is so refreshing in the guitar comunity. Huge cheers for what the guys at fender lined up to start the roaring 20s. They really make it feel like a new decade.
what you mean by that ? sorry i don't have the reference but i'm interested since i really see Bob Dylan as a musician hero, minimalistic set with guitar 'n voice.
@@vincentdelmas2792 In 1965, Dylan performed an electric set at Newport for the first time playing a Fender Stratocaster. He was accompanied by by three members of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band: Mike Bloomfield, guitar; Jerome Arnold, bass; Sam Lay, drums; and also Al Kooper, organ; and Barry Goldberg, piano. To this day a dispute continues over whether or not they were booed and if so why. Google "Dylan at Newport 1965" and watch the youtubes. You can judge for yourself and read various accounts and opinions as to what happened. David F's joke is that had he had played an Acoustasonic rather than a Strat, the folkies who booed him might have been more welcoming. There was a subsequent tour in '65-'66 with the Hawks (who would become The Band). Dylan opened with a solo acoustic set. After an intermission, he performed an electric set with the Hawks. I saw them in Baltimore. I and most of the crowd loved both sets. There were some disgruntled-folkie boos when he started the second set, but just a few.
@@paulconnah986 thx for such à welcome explication ! Reminds me some vegans talking, debating if this food is okay or not. There is some coolness to bé à " one thing Man " , making and assuming string choices, but ateod each thing has benefit Of his own and cant bé replace by another one.
@@crisp9929 Yes. But the other one in John 14:22: Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 14:22.1: Harken unto you, I shall soon go on a world tour with four Canadian disciples and one from Arkansas, plus we're going to start calling you Jude so as to distinguish you from Mr. Thirty Pieces of Silver, and I prophesy that centuries hence the disciples known as the Silver Beatles shall drop the Silver from their name and, hey, the one called Paul shall eventually write a song about you. And, Will, what say you of yon Crisp? And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world But we in it shall be rememberèd-- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers . . . .
I love this channel! And this video! You guys are authentic, fun and seem to have a lot of knowledge! One little comment tho.. PLEASE stop talking over each other!! You seriously have to practice that. Both of you! Go back and watch this video on a mobile device yourselves as listen to how incredibly messy the sound is. Gets the experience from 10/10 to 3/10. A part from that, fantastic work fellas!
@David Redman - I don't recall the neck well, but I remember playing one in my local music store back in the day. I kind of dig their look still, but as for being any remote inspiration for Paul Reed Smith, they're most definitely not.
Great video lee. It's a amazing time to be a guitar player and collector. The George Harrison Rocky and the hm strat and insanely beautiful. I hope you guys are having a awesome time. Alot to do in Anaheim take it in. Doesn't look like squier got any love but that's ok. Have a great time and keep us updated. Thanks buddy
I watched a “Strat 40 years” documentary in the 90’s with great interviews. Clapton in an elevator, Keith Richards on a rooftop and George Harrison introducing me to “Rocky” (among other things). It’s on RU-vid and it’s great. I still have the vhs.
Thanks so much for the great coverage, I really appreciate your channel and reviews! Hopefully you do one on the Mustang GTX soon, keep up the great work, MI
'Rocky' was one of two 1961/62 pre-owned Sonic Blue Strats (rosewood fretboards) the Beatles roadie Mal Evans was asked to go and buy for John Lennon and George Harrison in 1965. They were used in the studio firstly on the track 'Nowhere Man' and then on on both the 'Rubber Soul' and the 'Revolver' albums; around the 'Sgt Pepper/Magical Mystery Tour' period George hand-painted his (quite roughly) with the newly available 'Dayglo' paint and his wife Patti's nail varnish, painting the name 'Rocky' on the headstock and 'Bebopalula' on the guitar body (Paul painted his Rickenbacker bass around the same time). 'Rocky' can be seen being played by George on the Beatles' live TV broadcast of 'All You Need is Love' on the 25th June 1967, and more obviously on the track 'I Am the Walrus' in the film Magical Mystery Tour. It was later semi-retired and in 1970, following a conversation with Ry Cooder, set up by George for use as a slide guitar, and used on 'My Sweet Lord'. Still in the ownership of Olivia and Dhani Harrison. Not sure where John's Strat is... probably under Yoko's bed. The serial number of John's is unknown.
I'm very intrigued by those acoustic-ish Strats and Teles. They sound damn good! I might have to pick one up someday. Thanks for this cool video, it looked like a fun time drooling over those guitars. ;-)
I’m so glad the offset series guitars weren’t actually discontinued. I love those guitars and basses and I was pretty sad when they got removed from fenders website a while ago.
Eric Clapton's Fender LEAD guitar was a clear lacquer cherry Red LEAD II, with 2 single coil pickups, black/white/black laminated pick guard, and maple neck! Eric used it live and in the studio - cool!
Oh man. I had a Fender Lead II. The finish was completely trashed on it and it weighed 15lbs. Paid $200 for it. Had non matching serial numbers though. Wound up selling it cause I broke the crappy plastic nut. The pickups on it were freaking amazing though. So cool to see these back.
Fender is looking good at the show this year. More colors, more call backs and the "Rocky", Awesome! If they only hadn't come up short on the "Pukelele". Ha!, pukelele, I love it.
The HM's are back....well, they did come back earlier in the form the Highway 1 Showmaster, but it's cool to see them back. Of course, they would decide to do them as "limited-editons" $$$$$$$$
Also the guitar with the funky scratch plate and on board delay I believe is called a Fender "Marauder". It was never originally released however a few prototypes were made.
I had a Lead I. I think I bought it around December '79. Single humbucker. I remember replacing the nut and saddles with graphite parts. I loved that guitar. It was stolen in the mid-80's.
I saw you guys there, well i walked past. I've been a couple of times in 2010 and 2017 and 2020. A cool show but the south paws are seriously under represented.
It looks like in the background at the end the custom shop person is telling someone about the new Eric Johnson Virginia Custom Shop. Wish y'all would have done a section on it!! Otherwise great tour.
I'm a Fender guy.. but can't afford Ultra series even though they look so good. I love Fender and what they do. Nicely well done, Fender! Even though I'm a Fender guy, I'd love to try different branded guitars to see how they feels and plays. I own 3 Fender guitars, Schecter, Danelectro, etc. They are really really good. I'd love to get more Fenders though!
I remember Steve Morse endorsing the Fender Lead II. He only used in concert for one song because the song was in a different tuning or something. I saw him use it live once. Fender used a photo of him playing it in their sales ads at the time.
Interesting, thinks these Japan made Fenders with HSS configuration is 'really expensive' but is seemingly fine with a Made in Korea Chapman being the same price.
Hey there! Not here to pick a fight. If you go back and listen to that section of the video, Lee states its expensive compared to what they cost back when they were originally sold. My brother and I used to go into guitar stores back in the 80s and early 90s and dream about the HM Strats. I think they used to cost about $650 or so dollars??? I can't quite remember.
@@Go2Africa I don't have any concrete figures to back up this next statement. Haven't standard Strats always been around 900-1200 dollars? Doesn't seem like the price has increased much for them. Are they priced too cheap? Maybe Fender has just expanded the range with various price points.
In my experience, the made in Japan guitars are also really super. I have a new Aerodyne Strat from Japan that I traded my American tele for and the build quality and playability and sound is far superior on the Japanese model. Not saying these will be Uber quality, but they’re good in general
The pickup in that bass is a Bi-sonic/Darkstar pickup. They were factory equipment in Guild basses. (Modified design of course, as a Guild Bi-sonic's string spacing is not as wide as that of a fender)
I'm sure that the Captain goes to NAMM with a certain budget to stock Anderton's with models from all brands. I think that the budget got blown about halfway through the Fender walk.
I ordered a Harley Benton telecaster. I took all the metal parts and electronics out of it. I stripped it down to where it was just the body with the paint job (the black one with the gold paisley print). I took it in my backyard, I got my shotgun, I shot it four times with buckshot. Then I put it back together, put it back on my guitar rack and still play it. Sometimes when you're poor and necessity is the mother of invention (if you want to have a cool-looking guitar)
