Tremolo's suck tone a lot, so not having it is a plus.

Thank you for sharing, this is a good reference. I really like Bone tone pick ups here, sounds full body.

Thank you for showing off The Strat! I've had mine since I was a college kid in the mid-80's. The candy apple red color had a huge orange peel problem. In places where the finish didn't go down smooth it looks bumpy like an orange. Then it flakes off exposing the metallic undercoat that then turns green. Still, they're great guitars.

Beautiful guitar. I've been looking for an 83 The Strat. My Birthyear. Is there much difference between the 80 and 82-83? I've read the later ones were "better". Thanks! If you've still got this one, let me know if you're willing to sell.

Jason smith more strat sound bold and Balsey. I think if I wanted more Twang brightness like the Galuszka I would get a telecaster.

he is such a nice gentleman, I saw the capet beneath his feet, the same thing used to be done to persian carpet 70 (during 1950s) years ago by putting the carpet on the street so it would be stepped on , so it looks reliced.

VERY NICE. Olympic White Strats are BEAUTIFULLY offset by a Rosewood Board.

nice review

Pure shit looks.

Phenomenal sounding guitar 🎸

I say give it a one of kind custom relic yourself by playin the hell of it.

can't hear ya...audio

Awful relicing job

Robin's Headstock is bigger than the average Strat. Robin said more wood better sustained.

First

Boring.

I've got a 1980 Strat with the silver tuners. Like your Anniversary model there, the Lake Placid Blue finish has greened over the years!

Fretboards just don't wear like that. Unless you pick up your guitar to play only a d chord, dozens and dozens of times a day, over the course of 48 years

Oh my God 😮😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤ wowza!!!!! Perfectly perfect!!!!! My man Glen how do you do it ? You're the houdini of guitars my brother! This bad boy still around? Thx

I'll be glad when people stop making videos about the finish on guitars. Buy what you like and stop caring what other people think of your choice. Good grief.

Im not usually a rosewood guy you know Glenn but that is nice and dark almost looks like ebony! Sweet axe tasty relic not too much, shes a keeper! Thx

Highly overpriced and seriously overrated garbage😂😂😂😂

This is the one I bought :)

Great content 🎸🙌🏼💙

Sweet

Does this Fender CS classic player have a HSS routing? Asking for a friend 😂

Nobody uses chisels on a guitar, bro.

Like your video and it’s a beautiful guitar. Sounds great. Is there any 60 cycle hum because I really don’t hear any?

I tink joe ar from Nedderlends

dream guitar...

Yes, it's a finish choice. Not everyone wants there home wrapped in new bricks. I remember when slightly burned bricks from the Chicago fire was all the rage. They intentionally started making charred bricks after that. It looked good. I'm like you, I can enjoy both. Nice strat collection! Good video on the history.

Oooof

Many thanks for the mention of my book "ANNIVERSARY STRAT: Celebrating 40 Years of the Fender Commemorative Model Stratocaster.' Well done for the video and sharing your Anniversary Models with the world.

I have 2 early fender CS ordered through Yamano by the original owner. Theyre really good. The previous owner said he placed an order for the 52 reissue CS in 1987 and he received it after a year.

basically a slightly custom oval c-neck profile

Nice but please tune guitars before demoing

Love all those strats!

I just picked up a Japanese Strat from 85 yesterday. I am blown away with it and can’t put it down. That system 1 tremolo on them is a work of art!!

Thanks for posting! I'm a strat guy who can't get enough of strats

I bought this anniversary strat in 1994, So basically I have invested my money in a crap piece of kit with 40 year old rubbish Fender needed rid of, with weak pickups I should have purchased a modern one?

That is superb, barely touched. I have an ‘82, bought 2008. ‘57 2TSB, Fullerton contours, grey bottom pickups. 2 previous owners, gigged & proper aged players grade. My main guitar, years of playing & never for sale.

Beautiful guitar🎉

Love relics because I always got upset when I dinged my new guitar.

im looking for a modern whit birdeye fretboard and gotoh trem lockingtuners. do you know if they will make this ?

it's just another kind of finish.... Relic is just the branding name for weathering which is a time honored style of painting in the model and prop community used to make things look old...

I got an ultra in 97. I played the set neck in the store at the same time and since have had 3 custom set neck strats made but alder and got that US Custom Shop set neck Blackmore too which is ash. The 90’s were some good days for Fender esp the custom shop coming in to its own and while there was cost mgmt on them the plus/deluxe/ultras were good.

Cool video, subscribed.I had one of the gold 54s. I wasn’t crazy about it, urethane finish and it weighed around 8 lbs. I’ve had AVRI strats that were better than that particular guitar. The non-vintage based models like Classic Player and Custom Classic are great guitars and you can be had for reasonable money.

All in the eye of the beholder, i dont like new things, there hard to stay that way. I like brunnettes, Rod Steward prefers blonds!

so, basically it's all a question of personal taste in physical appearance, because they all pretty much sound the same, or all could be set up the same. For the most part, I buy & use guitars for comfort and sound, not looks. I want to set up my instruments so they help make my work as fluid & effortless as possible. I really don't spend time looking at how someone else tried to make them look older than they actually are

You left out the bullet strats
