Wonderful video! Entertained me a lot 🌞 All I was thinking about is how nice it must be for Pete coming to work and getting told "hey today we need you to demo some wonderful master build guitars from fender, and the guys building it are here". My guitar playing is shit at the moment, so I think it will take a while for me to get one of those. For me personally these are the holy grail in guitars like for others the vintage insturments. It's a big motivation for me pushing my guitar playing so at some point it's worth it to own one of those. Have a nice day all! ❤

I don't know if it's just me, but these guys didn't make me wanna buy a Masterbuild guitar. Maybe it's just the way they explain things but I didn't feel the skills and passion. It almost made me feel like anybody could do their job (of course not) but you know what I mean? Am I crazy? I don't want to be mean or anything, I respect their work!

@guyfawkes8873 4 месяца назад

The thing is… anyone can? The hard part of becoming a luthier is building a brand, not learning woodworking, that’s just a matter of practice. No part of making electric guitars is more complicated than building high end chairs. Hollowbodies and acoustics, sure, but not electrics.

@brandonhupp464 7 месяцев назад

Well, my own advice to any person that doesn't want to spend over 4grand for a guitar build your own Stratocaster with genuine parts of what you want and you can come pretty close to this level of extra touch.A Real Fender parts caster is going to sound better than a stock guitar.. your mileage will very lol

@edwardjons8684 7 месяцев назад

Great interview. These look awesome guitars. Reminds me of the story about the first strats to arrive in the UK - people ordered them from a catalogue, had them shipped over, having never played one and yet paying more more for the privilege of owning one. Why? Because Buddy Holly, a hipster of his time, had one and it looked fkn cool like a jet airplane or an automobile. The visual impact has always been a legitimate and inspiring element of what makes electric guitars great and what inspires people to create great, new music and perfomances. All these people complaining anout the aesthetics and cost of these guitars are entirely missing the point that what makes a guitar desireable and inspiring is largely subjective. These builders are creating instruments that many of us find inspiring, just as those guys in the 50s found those weird looking strats inspiring, and we are willing to pay for the things we love.

Genuine question, how do pre aged guitars look in 50 years? If i where to go custom shop id just have them make a new old stock kind of guitar thatll still look good and have real aging in some decades, but if you would pass on a relic to lets say your kids how would they look at that point

Lee certainly earned his money on this one! Getting Austin MacNutt to talk was like pulling teeth. One thing he said was that he taught for a few years: how on earth did he manage that?

@ryanturner9509 7 месяцев назад

In addition to the very obvious and most agreeable evolution and progress as a player, which imo is becoming a really cool and individual style. It seems to me Lee has grown into a pretty skilled and intuitive interviewer also. Dare i say a most grown up kinda vibe....? Actually maybe not grown up....but certainly talented despite the excellent childishness and daftology!

@chriscolabella880 7 месяцев назад

I love old, beat up guitars, but I've never seen a Fender Custom Shop guitar which looks like an old Fender. They generally look awful to my eyes. Tom Murphy made the distinction between aging and relicing. I wish Fender would just make replicas of 50s and 60s guitars which were as close as possible to the OG (albeit maybe with bigger, flatter frets).

@TheDrunkenScoundrel 6 месяцев назад

The end jam is like if Quentin Tarantino did a Tom and Jerry cartoon. That's a compliment .

@larryburwell8550 7 месяцев назад

the price he charges. with their resources anyone who knows how to put together a fender strat which is a modular guitar, can make a great strat. the ageing is another story and i dont like relic guitars. trashing nice guitars isnt to my liking

@Jointlock 7 месяцев назад

I was really hoping you would ask both of the builders to weigh in with an opinion as to why Pete's purple tele is so far superior to most other tele examples?

@CoreyOConnor2012 7 месяцев назад

we already know the answer... because Pete plays it

@Jointlock 7 месяцев назад

that was a given@@CoreyOConnor2012

@djt6546 7 месяцев назад

Not sure where the superior element comes from. It might be good but not necessarily more magical than any other good Tele. Now is it superior for Pete. Yes! It’s an inspiration for Pete and the best he will ever own unless he decides to shop for another. Anyone of us choosing to ‘shop for another’ will inevitably find something we want more… because we go looking for it 🙂 Was the purple Tele a fantastic guitar for the original owner? No. Anderton’s explained that the original owner buys, swaps and changes all the while. Whether something cost ££/$$ or £££££/$$$$$ the only thing making something great is whether it gives the owner personally the inspiration to make it so. Besides even Pete thought TPS Dan’s red Tele was better than Durple 😊

@pepmasters-999 7 месяцев назад

Hilarious that the Captain thinks Fender smashed the Tele straight off the bat and got it so perfect that the subsequent modifications were unnecessary. To reiterate, this would make the following unnecessary: - The option of picking a colour that isn't butterscotch - Having a neck pickup that doesn't sound like a bass - Having any fretboard radius flatter than 7.25" - Brass saddles - The option of choosing a rosewood fretboard - A tone knob Simply crazy to think the standard switching of bridge -both-neck and a tone knob is an unnecessary modifcation.

Question to master builders: will you finally learn how to paint guitars? All of the guitars you build seem to have various paint job issues: rough/no paint, colour on colour (like an idea change middle of the road?), scratches and dents, no gloss etc....

I'm probably going to get some flak for this, but I find that Fender has become a hipster guitar brand. I remember Rob and Lee saying that they were told off by Fender for stereotyping Charvel players as 80s metal players. Now, when you see a Fender advert online, the person playing the instrument is your stereotypical young hipster. I know it sounds absurd, but it is something I have noticed.
