Yes all good tips. Seen plenty of reviews on the Debut are they as good as people say ??

Thanks Alan, my days of shredding are well past me and think having a more relaxed style of playing is far more fun. I do still like playing blues from time to time.

@thepepebrothersband4445 thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks Olav, yes it's a lovely guitar. It took me a while to get it to play the way I like and I have also changed the scratchplate to Mint green and it looks just brilliant. I plan to do a full review on this very soon.

Thank you very much. This is an original as are all my tracks, which you can find on my playlist 😀

None of the above Bob, I've just got a screw loose 🤣

Going to try the new ones next month see if they go ok at the club !!

Didn't think of that way haha btw the colour of the guitar is 'Flamed Maple, Ocean Blue' 🤣

Cheers Bob, yep summer was very late coming to us all.

Glad you got a good one as they are really nice guitars.

Just ordered mine last Saturday, birch green too. My FIRST non-Squier Fender! Went through Sweetwater guitar. Looking forward to playing it myself. Great video!

@@JC.77776 I've heard Sweetwater check guitars before delivery, would be interested to see how it plays out of the box ?

I'm not a bass player but even I enjoyed having a play on it after the set up.

Yep I saw a Fender RUclips demo where they confirmed this. I've got a series 1 with Maple neck and did a comparison and they do sound quite alike 😀

@@mark_greening_gtr I have a series 1 aged cherry burst Player with a maple neck as well. Th only other one I was looking at was a tobacco burst with the Pau Ferro fretboard which I do not like. When the Player II necks become available I might pick one up in rosewood and swap it out for the maple neck I have now.

@@retiredguyadventures6211 Good move on Fender to bring back the Rosewood.

Thank you 😀

The colour on this one is very nice and yes mine had to be tweaked.

Nice guitars and sunburst is a nice option with the Rosewood fretboard.

@@mark_greening_gtr cheers dude

Agree, to be honest most guitars need some setup, shimming a neck is isn't uncommon though.

@guitarmagnet8690 with the rosewood fretboard that sets it off for a nice combo 👌

Thanks for the comment, this one did come with some issues which I have now resolved so quality was a little off on this particular guitar. Budget and my playing ability would not stretch to something as good as a USA strat 😀

@mark_greening_gtr glad you sorted out those issues Mark. I bought USA Telecasters to circumvent issues which of the 3 I own have not had any apart from string action hight. Which of course is a personal preference. Enjoy the guitar 🎸 😀

Can you explain in detail, what did you find so much different in quantity between the USA and Mexican Fender Strats? I have a Squire 60s Classic Vide, and just trust me you are not a perfectionist like me. I have the highest standards possible, Even so I found my classic vide to play and sound great. Of course I actually did the set up myself, It did not come set up from SweetWater. I think if you are very good with tools you can make any guitar play great. It’s easy to level the fretboard and round off the fret edges to leave it smooth like silk. And adjust the truss rod.

Of course not everyone is an expert fine furniture maker like me. So I guess not everyone can set up a guitar and level the fretboard to the standard of a custom shop guitar.😂 But it’s not that difficult either if you have some experience with tools.😊

@@GuitarristaDesconosido My CV 60's needed very little work as it wasn't new when I bought it. This MiM strat needed work of which like you I like my guitars to play well. Other reviewers had spoken of other issues with the Player ii series so QC maybe a little off the pace on this run.

These tuners do a really good job so not sure changing them would be needed, just my thoughts.

Thanks for the birthday wishes and the knife wasn't too sharp 😀

How is the 60 buzz from the pickups ? As nice as it seems I think I would probably put ultra noiseless pickups in or go straight to the top and purchase the ultra strat, yes it's expensive but top of the range should hopefully leave nothing to question or regret.

@@Wooburnmusic Like the idea of an Ultra strat but with my budget this is where I'm at😀

Yes it is a very nice guitar.

Thanks Bob, this is my pre-birthday birthday treat 😀

Sure is a nice guitar and yes Gold Tops are the tops 😀

@stevecassidyguitar it was a real learning curve and the self penned numbers went down well at the club. Only problem is they want me to do more...

Thanks for the comment and yes it's is a really nice guitar. Not sure people are too aware of Burny's I have two and easily match other Single cuts in terms of build quality and playability.

@@mark_greening_gtr they are quite rare but I know they are good if you drop on a good one. Same with the Orville LP’s, Japanese built so you won’t go wrong..

Hi and it is a Burny RLG-60P VGT. Great guitars and really well made.

Thank you for the kind comment. I record direct from my Line 6 Pod Go into my laptop. For this track I had some compression with a 'clean' amp sim with a little bit of delay and reverb.

Yep on that one Rich, It's a shame HB don't do 9.5" radius as I'm certain it would be a real winner.

Thanks Rich, it took a fair amount of work to set it up which I covered in another video... may do a comparison with my squier CV 50s, what do you think ?

Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Thanks glad you enjoyed it.

Yes it is an option but more cost effective to shim the neck and only takes a few minutes.

Thank you, glad you liked it.

Thank you

Thank you, I was in a reflective mood when I wrote this and glad you liked it.

I setup a Stagg Telecaster a couple of weeks ago and was really surprised how well it played. When this strat came up for sale I snapped it up, glad I did 😀

Sounds interesting, this Strat has surprised me as the neck is nice and it seems that Stagg go a little under the radar.

Thanks for the kind comments, the JET is a new line of guitars, I have to say the Green/Blue finish is a bit disappointing but overall it's a well made guitar. I also have a Squier Bullet and they are great value for money, it's an older 2010 model, one I picked up locally on FB Marketplace as I did the Stagg.

Thanks Chris, I'm bit of a strataholic 😀. I've completed a full setup with nice new strings and sure plays real nice. I'm in the process of editing a video on how I set this one up and will publish when it's finished.

Thanks Mark, In all probability this is a made in China though the headstock is quite a surprise as to how close it is to my MIM 2005 strat. I've now given it a full setup and plays real sweet (video coming soon). I do have a few options on pickups but not thought of EMGs so will do some research on them.

They are still made with an Alder body, pickups are ceramic (not good or bad) and the necks are usually 12", but real rosewood fretboard.

@@hussamjamil4980 Thanks, I did check the neck with my radius gauge and this one is 9.5".

@@mark_greening_gtr ooooo thats a new one from Stagg!! looks like some necks slipped out of the wikis :)

Even Chinese pickups can sound nice and as hum-free as single coils can be. You'd just need to add some grounded copper tape around the coil, if hum is an issue at all

Thanks, got a video in the planning on setting it up to make it so more playable.

Hi Rich, this one is in Dm, have fun if you decide to have a jam to it 😀

@@mark_greening_gtr thanks Mark

Thanks Roger, getting the feeling back in my hand after 'the op' so will look to do this one at the club in Feb 😀

The general rule of thumb Bob is N + 1, or as Joe Bonamassa says 'you can never have too many guitars' 🤣

That's handy to know, thank you.

Hi, I have two Eastcoast L1's and both were different in terms of setup when I got them out of the box. The one I unboxed (in this video) needed less setting up (just about every guitar I have bought needed a level of setting up) in terms of string action and intonation. The pickups are good (this is subjective as we all have different tastes) though the amp they are plugged into will have a huge effect on the sound you get. I use a Line 6 POD Go so I can tweak the parameters to get the sound I want from that. My advice would be if your in the UK and can get to one of the stores who have a demonstration guitar (Guitar Guitar or Andertons) you can get a feel for the guitar. If possible take someone with you who plays guitar to help or ask instore for advise/help. If you buy on line check the returns policy if your decide the guitar is not for you. Hope this helps.
