I take it back! Skip the $23 Wilkinson Vintage Style Big Block Shorty Tremolo - IT FAILED!
Which guitar would You choose between this, jackson js32 and Ibanez 470/jem jr? I play pantera
Personally I would take the RG470/Jem Jr.
I'd reject the PRS just for the stupid birds.
At least they were kind of subdued. Imagine if they were pearloid😬
loving mine ! Just came in the door today. No regrets.
That's awesome. Congrats!
I like the reviews that you do. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
I'm sure there's an awesome "don't fret" joke out there somewhere, but i'm wayyyy too dignified to say it. ;)
I have both and Beretta hands on and down...
Glad they went with the 60s headstock on these. As always, a great demo Ben.
Thanks man. Yeah, it's a much better looking headstock.
Not sure why fender doesn’t have standard process for their guitars. Frets are everywhere the Classic Vibe are consistently well done without sharp fret ends , it looks like a fret finish process so they should take what works and discard the rest.
Exactly! Makes no sense. I will say, I have had fewer fret issues the past 3 years. Still, like you said, a stadard process shouldn't be hard,
Nice demo. Would love to see that offered with black hardware and a laurel board. Some ReRanch tint on the headstock and relic tuners, job done. ✌🎸
That thing sounds great Ben!
Thanks man. Pretty hot pickups in this thing :)
They are always on sale somewhere for $350 to $500
I think the biggest difference is in the HSS configuration where in position 4 the player I had a split coil and the player II does not. Beyond that they are both really nice guitars.
I want to upgrade my squier affinity 2014 block as well but not sure it will fit perfectly or not.
It should be fine as long as the new block is 36mm.
What about the string spacing?
And can you refer good plate and saddles as well
@@souvikmitra6198 It doesn't change the spacing.
@@souvikmitra6198 The plate is fine already. Any steel saddle would be a good upgrade. Some people really like the Graph Tech saddles as well.
great vid, learned so much. Thank you.
I ordered one a couple days ago, pic showed it with a whammy bar, did they screw me? It hasnt showed up yet
They come with a whammy bar.
@@benpowersguitar thank you
@@ivans1240 👍
Figured id update. Got the guitar and i love this thing
@@ivans1240 That's awesome.
TO-800 seems to cut through a little more and be slightly more creamy compressed. The TD-9 sounds more like SRV. It's more tame when playing chords. Perhaps the TO-800 has a little bit more output? My TO-800 has more output than my classic distortion pedal.
Great review and playing. Thanks Ben for selling me on this strat. Just ordered one
That's awesome. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
I wanna get this to contrast my Squier Esquire which pretty much has completely different specs including the obvious body, electronics, bridge, and fret count. That one like this Mitchell I tried recently was flawless and I think it’s just a matter of having more patience finding a good unit at the under $500 price range as the restock was shit like at least half of the Mitchells that I’ve tried.
Are the cables to connect it with the AMP included? If not what cables to buy, this is my first pedal. Great video btw!
Thanks for watching. No, the cables and power supply aren't included. You will need a 9v power supply or battery and 2 instrument cables. One from the guitar to the pedal, which should be at least 10 foot or longer, depending on much and far you move when playing. The second cable is from the pedal to the amp, and the length is based on how far from the pedal to the amp, leaving a little slack.
@@benpowersguitar okay thanks :)
@@sherrifbricksOFFICIAL No problem. I hope you enjoy the pedal.
The Player V1 is and remains the OG & the king of sales.
Yeahhh, fantastic sound, nice demo, great work bro!
Thanks Jordi!
I wish I could give this video 2 “Likes” 👍🏼👍🏼
Notes a go-go, sounds fantastic! *holds up the lighter*
Ha ha. Yeah, I was enjoying these.
Interesting comparison. At the end of the day I prefer Strat, but the PRS isn't a bad option
Yeah, it's not bad, but I also prefer the strat.
Fat = Flavor, clearly. Super rich sound here duder
Thanks man. Yeah, kind of makes me want to try out the Fat '60s.
There's just something cool and great about this humble little inexpensive guitar...
It's been a great guitar.
Hmmmmm, I didn't hear the buzz - maybe my volume was too low. Sounded great!!
Turn that volume up!! 😎
It has a bit of a poppy feel, really like it. Thanks Ben!
Thanks buddy.
If u can find good sale for player 1, like 150-200$(which is possible sometimes) , could be perfect with little upgrade. U might get better guitar… but u must make ur hands dirty a bit. Other then that just get player II and play… and i love the new colors ** not PF **
Thanks for watching.
Another great sounding demo Ben! Normally I don't like string noise, but for some reason that fit right in today.
That sounded great Ben! You have been uploading some great content recently.
Thanks man. Trying to get some attention😎
@@benpowersguitar I hope it is working for you Ben
@@ccjmusic Well, he's got my attention!!
@@joshbutterfield9339 are you guys ever going to do more content for your "Do What?" channel?
A very nice instrument, Ben. Looks and sounds great. I was really impressed by the build quality of the Affinity bass I got a wee while back - crazy good for the price point. You're getting quite the collection of guitars there, Sir!
Thanks man. Yeah, I am there with you on the build quality. Yeah, might have to start selling some off again. You know how it goes.
Those Fender Pure ‘61 Vintage Stratocaster pickups sound good.
Loving the tones ur getting here Ben :)
Play it Ben! Awesome demo!
Thanks man. I really appreciate all the support.
Now... Now... Now... Now... Now...
if i change al the 3 problems you point, it could be a great guitar?
I would think so. The newer ones seem to be a little better as well. It's not a bad guitar as is, but making a few things better would help.
@@benpowersguitar I've been playing guitar for a while now (but full amateur XD), but I've always played with a Squier Bullet that I modified with a HH configuration, and I'd like to upgrade. I have the possibility of buying one of two used guitars, a DKA JS32 Dinky Special in natural color and the other is an Ibanez RG350EXZ-BK. I don't know which one to decide on, honestly, I like to play death metal and heavy metal. Do you think you could advise me on which would be a good option?
Definitely doesn't feel like a Strat neck. I have problems with fender necks.
Thanks for watching.
3:25 The tremolo system in these are indeed bad with the fine tuners. They feel cheap and donky.
Is this shortscale model?
It's 25" scale, so a little shorter than a strat and a little longer than an LP. It's not a true short scale no, 22" or so.
@@benpowersguitar so it shouldn't lose the power - seems to be great, thanks
Love the old school Aerosmith logo hat ''Get Your Wings''
Thank You!
Man I feel like playing now! U sound great Ben!
Thanks man, I appreciate that.
Still to thin sound
Thanks for checking them out. I appreciate you watching.
Your a vary Blues based player aren' t you? I like the Blues of course we know that's where Rock music came from .my favorite strat is the fat Strat. it's the Swiss Army knife of guitars everybody says Telecaster are .but fat Strat you get all the wonderful strategy tones get down to the bridge and your rock your face off very cool guitar
Yeah, I played mainly blues and strats for years before recently getting back to more hard rock from my youth and my earliest days of guitar. Hence the Ibanez, Jackson and other shred guitars on the channel. Have always loved a good humbucker in the bridge. Just sounds right.
I have 3 Squier Bullet guitars, one the same as this but with a replacement white pickguard loaded with Lace Gold pickups, a stock HT Bullet Strat, and a stock Bullet Tele. They are all great value for money. The first guitar I bought and the one that got me into guitar was the one the same as this.
That's awesome. This is the one that I bought to rehab myself with then get back in to modifying as well.
That sounded awesome Ben. I especially liked the tone you had around 4:35 or so.
Thanks man. I am pretty fond of them.
Great review thanks
Those are the classic sounds we all love. I think i have the same set in my fender strat. That sure is a pretty guitar! And nice playing.
The player 2 is a noticeable upgrade over the player 1.
listening with Sony MDR7506, the alnico on "clean" has far more beauty and weight over the ceramic. Does some of the tonal differences come from the ceramic version having steel slug pole pieces (energized by a ceramic magnet underneath) vs the alnico magnets being THE pole pieces? How much width did you need to add to the bridge cavity to get a fit?
I had to remove a couple mm.
