If it's cat approved, it's ok
He does!
Good looking Strats! I have an Electra,"Matsumoku" Killer axe, had on in the late '70's Both very well made and play great!
Can’t beat the quality! Thanks for posting!
Great quality without a doubt!
Awesome content on MIJ Strats! I got bit by the MIJ bug a few years ago, and man, there are still great deals out there on very high quality instruments going down the MIJ road. Good stuff! 💪💪💪
Hey I appreciate you checking in!
I know a Luthier who is approaching the age of 80... he has a drawer that has several pairs of genuine PAF late 1950's Gibson humbuckers... from Les Paul's... ES335... etc. genuine real deals... the current retail price... is $2,000 and up... way way up... per pickup...
Let’s hear your thoughts!
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Great looking strats dig the maple necks.
Both look great
@@anthonythornhill8715 Appreciate it.
Beauties Mike !
Ooouuuu can I have it 😂

2024 Theyre worse. Theres anways Harley Benton and Leo Jaymz
I have 3 Harley Benton basses and honestly, they are mostly very playable out of the box. With minor upgrades, you can have a very good quality instrument in your hands. Subscribing 🎉
I predict you will sell or trade all of those strats before New Year’s Day. 😂
😂 Its more than likely..

Man there’s some quality stuff in there. I’d love to out and hit that venue up next summer.
I have reviewed many guitars here on RUclips.... and have 10 just sitting here waiting for me to review... Cost of guitars today..... It is crazy what you can get for the 300.00-dollar guitar. Really a lot of great guitar at the 500.00-to-800.00-dollar guitar. If you look around and play ... once you hit the 1,600-to-2,400-dollar price mark.... It becomes you just want it.... You can get anything you want at the 2,400-price point. A true custom guitar... My go to guitar is an 89 Peavey Nitro Active 2nd 90 Peavey Vandenberg 3rd 86 Kramer Pacer IMP.... All super guitars ! I have a new Kramer ( Gibson ) witch is also great .. paid 600.00 NEW off the floor at guitar Center. Map price was 1,100.00 I also have a Fender FMT Tele .... paid 1,000.00 my point is these are all great. I own 25 guitars... they all have something. What I see is in AMPS.... Most of the newer amps are just not built well.... Tubes on boards.... Cheap Transformers.... Cheap jacks... You have to spend BIG dollars to get good tube amps.... This is why I still play my 30 year old RACK MOUNT Tube amp system.... with old 20 bit DSP's I found myself really seeing more and more BS products after I started my RUclips channel. I wanted a channel that was 100% NO BS. I found myself seeing what the vendors do to push new products..... I Love Music and Playing. I hope people can see through the fake channels and watch channels that try to be honest. I have watched your channel for some time and I like how you do things ! ! ! ! just my 2 cents ! ! ! !
I appreciate a fellow RUclipsr saying so. I appreciate your support and will head over to your channel!
Let’s hear your thoughts!
Thanks Mike, i have the r8 had it for years, love it and it has never had an issue, neither has my buddies r8. Now i need to check the battery inside! Zoom has a new replacement for the r8 its a touch screen deal. Its called the r12 but get the r20 16 channel one. Everything that has an internal cmos battery should have a label stating it!
I agree!
Lets hear your thoughts!
I noticed you connected the red positive wire to the opposite pole from how it was on the original speaker - and it works. If there are no "+' or "-" markings on the speaker, does it really matter which way you connect those lead wires? Thank you.
This was very helpful! I have an FGN similarly missing the pick guard
@@thejuggernaut5327 I appreciate your response! Let me know if you try it.
You talk too much bro😂

Good discussion as always mike, bringing much needed sanity amongst the plethora of marketing👍
Let hear your thoughts!
Cool to hear your thoughts on the Japanese Greco Strats. What do you think of the quality circa 1983-1985 (the years I lived in Japan)?
I think from 77'-90 you can't go wrong or too wrong, so quality only improved since the 70s. Thank you for taking the time to watch and reply!
Excellent , informative video on Greco brilliant guitar. I was lucky to pick one up at a flea market in Japan last week .. for $200 , in near mint condition, Honeycomb finish , Rock Spirits model - with a very unusual one screw bolt on neck , unplugged , the sustain on it rings out like a bell, nb In Japan they cost as much as some lower priced Gibson Lest Pauls ( Standard )
Bought one and it will be the last. You're better of buying Squires and Epiphones.
You keep knocking fender for rehashing the same guitars. Well they are their guitars. They designed them. They aren’t copying other people designs like your Japanese friends
Incorrect! They HIRED my Japanese friends to make Fenders in Japan. Not exactly copies. Appreciate your input though!
Hey Mike. Great show as always. I can honestly say,right now I’m very content with all the gear I have right now. And trust me, it’s not much.😁. 1 guitar 3 pedals and 1 amp. And I’m good. As you say.
I’m good is a good place to be!
Fender Champion 40 is a super nice amp ! I put an Eminence The Governor in mine .
Let’s hear your thoughts!
are you doing this on purpose ? i mean the gold bracket over the pickguard ? excuse me but that's both ugly and stupid
Answer to that above! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, everyone is welcome.
I just got a 1990 Gibson flying v 67 reissue that I love... now i was looking at a early 90s Gibson les paul classic with the les paul model on the headstock you got me interested with this video. Thanks man
Yup a roland jc-120 jazz chorus i bought it cause i was a huge albert king fan and bought it cause of him and was impressionable..it didn't take long for me to realize when i think of the ideal amp tone it is black brown and tweed fender.... good crystalline sparkling cleans and good natural tube distortion... the roland was way too stiff for my taste and i sold it....i got a 90 fender 63 reissue vibroverb and my fender 59 tweed bassman
Nice Mike !
Very Cool, Thankyou Mike. Nice Work. Looks awesome. Did I miss explanation Why the bracket on top of pickguard not underneath? All the Best. Cheers
I honestly can’t think of a reason why I put them on this way. My luthier always corrects it later..it’s a game between us! Cheers!
Great video, You have that guitar looking sweet Mike!
I’m working on it!
Let's hear your thoughts!

I like the background story of this guitar. I have one exactly like this, champagne sparkle, bigsby style tremolo, 2K pickups. And a buddy to it, a dark blue one with humbuckers and no tremolo. Bought them on a sale twenty years ago. Both very nice guitars, but heavy as hey ho! Much bigger and heavier than a Les Paul. Very good pickups though, and very well built all around. Extremely good guitars.
Hello, what's the difference between this classic premium plus and classic plus? And also even it's made from Jan to March, how can you confirm it's painted by Murphy? Thanks!
