Absolutely love the color and the matching headstock, especially paired with the maple fretboard and topped of with that silver pickguard. I can easily see why you had to get it Tomo-san, not least because of you recent episode on G.A.S. It’s just a perfect fit in relation to your old duo sonics, so happy you like it and it does indeed sound amazing acoustically! Thank you kindly for always being such a genuine and positive source of inspiration for the love of guitar and music. Always a pleasure to take part in watching your videos, and your words quite often make a heartfelt impact of positive energy. You are really a star in the heavens Tomo!💖💖
Great to hear that. This guitar is very special! Yes, you are right! Right after I made my G.A.S. video! This one sounds so great! You're very welcome! Thank you so much!
Looking at the enthusiasm on unboxing a guitar by a master, who has got numerous ones already.. still the happiness in ur eyes like a kid opening up a present.. worth watching.. u r made for guitars!!! I ve been tempted to buy a new guitar myself..only thing stopping me is that i am a beginner.. i already got an old acoustic one.. now stuck between acoustic or hollow body blues guitar.. wish me luck :)
I have said that. I also regretted it heavily. When I began to sell some of them. I saw some nice ones and I miss some of them sometimes. If I wasn’t strapped for cash so badly back then, I would definitely wouldn’t have sold them. Although actually several that I had, or Floyd rose, equip the guitars, and those things were such a pain in the butt to maintain and keep in tune because it felt like they needed a new set up every time I would put it on the rack for a few weeks.
I have a japanese stratocaster 19 84 . In the same colour so I love it very much indeed . I keep looking at a telecaster it's very hard to resist so many beautiful instruments .
Sometimes you gotta jump on a guitar you know is going to make you happy, especially if you know it's limited or scarce. That's a beautiful shade of blue, kind of a dark periwinkle, at least on my TV it is.
The gold is left over lacquer (I had no idea what it was) :( they do not remove all of it, apparently. I did a little researching and tried to remove it, because i did not want it on my frets. Putting a knife to a $1800 guitar is something no one should have to do. I did not want to, but of course, I did. If anyone is going to mess my stuff up, it will be and not Guitar Center. A year after finding out what it was, I only have 4 frets done lol Pretty sad they allow this.
Thanks for sharing, Tomo! I never used to like matching headstocks, but recently I am liking them more. Your Limited Edition Strat is a BEAUTE!! It sounds amazing even acoustically.
I love how you say "you have to be careful, don't buy too many guitars" (11:32) in an unboxing video and then go on to talk about Cyclone that you bought.
I really do like that guitar. I saw it in an ad the other day. If there was any minor critique, I wish there was a nice inlay to tie the headstock color to the body. But that's a minor critique.
Congrats Tomo!! Very nice guitar!! Nice shade of 'Lake Placid Blue'!! I am addicted to sunburst. So many colors, so many patterns. My fave is 3 color 60's Fender Strat! But there are many many more. No 2 are the same!! 8) Thanks, --gary
Wow that guitar really sings unplugged. I think you might have a very good guitar. As for GAS, I think that as long as my gear purchases don’t create a problem in other areas of my life then it’s all good.
I love the HER series. When i replenish some savings it will be the first of two guitars that i grab.. your very talented and fortunit, enjoy and keep on playing..
Hello Professor Tomo, hope you and Family are doing okay. Very gutsy but very nice COLOR! Guitar Family is STILL growing! Enjoy Your New Axe to the MAX!
I'm happy you could get your dream guitar! I didn't know we could use those wiring pliers for staples!! I have the same tool on my desk and have been pulling the staples out by hand. I'm certain they saw your name and shipped the best one!
Sweet. I bought my dream guitar a few weeks ago but didn’t know it was my dream guitar until I unboxed it. It’s a Heritage H-535 with Symore Duncan Seth Lover pickups and the low action is easy on my 60 year old hands. I still love my Strats, I have 3 of them. I too love the soft “V” I have a hardtail Strat with that great chunky no taper neck. Thanks again Tomo.
@@TomoFujitaMusic I had a ‘78 when I was in high school I loved it, I’ve heard some people don’t like the 3 screw neck. Unfortunately it was stolen in ‘85. I always wanted another one, so last year Sweetwater had an exclusive run of 12 hardtails based on the American Original Series. They made it a hardtail and added custom shop fat 50s. They sound different then a tremolo Strat, but Neil Rodgers and Robert Cray like um and I believe Clapton’s brownie was a hardtail. If you raise the action they make great slide guitars.
I love that Cyclone! I was hoping Fender would bring back the Cyclone after they brought back the Squier Cyclones, but it's not looking like that'll happen.
Super cool finish and I love the scratch plate. I, also, wanted to let you know that you finally inspired me to buy a Duo Sonic of my own and, of all my guitars, it may be the most fun to play. Thank you.
Picked up my dream guitar last year. All original 1989 Fender Stratocaster Plus Deluxe. It's my retirement plan. Hardly play it and it gets new strings and fretboard treated every 6 months.
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you. Mine has Natural finish and is in excellent condition. Refuse to use a pick on this one, no scratches on the guitar and only 1 on the case.
I got the Squier VI that looks exactly like that, color wise. Clearly Fender decided it was blue guitar month so they did a run of them. My VI has the blue headstock as well, from Chicago Music Exchange.
That baby rings and has a beautiful unplugged tone. The color is gorgeous. Painted headstock is a nice touch. Those chords you were playing, the guitar responded with a beautiful sound. I want to hear it amped up. I wonder if noiseless pickups sound as good as vintage Strat pickups.
I assumed Fujita Sensei got sent free guitars already set up by luthiers or techs. If he just bought this on the internet and it plays so clean right out of the UPS box then that suggests thats the level of quality that ships to everyone. He literally did zero setup or intonation or fret filing...nothin. Pretty good. I mean...the hardware is good, it comes with special single coils and he didnt plug it in to let those hum..lol but the QC out off the box seems pretty top notch. Good strat.
Thank you for sharing! Fender did not know that I bought this online from Fender! But this guitar was set up so great. Especially the tremolo bridge. So loose & gorgeous tone! Great guitar!
Nice guitar Tomo! I think that guitars are like artwork. If they inspire you, they worth it. Of course we have to be reasonably prudent financially, then afford the instrument.
Tomo, you hit me with that box. Ouch! Purple guitar and matching headstock. Order one more. Good sound acoustically is a good clue to a guitar's sound electrically.
I am an old guitar addict,,,cannot get rid of guitars, just buy more,,,,how do hou decide which ones to keep? And, what do you do with the ones you decide to let go?
It's so hard! If you can keep all, then do it! I am getting old so I need to decide my priory with my time so any guitars that I don't play that often. I let those go. I am trying this very hard! This way more time with my wife!
What do I think about what you did? I had to laugh 😁 I saw your video about G.A.S. and within 6 hours bought another amplifier. I had to have it. Just like you had to have that guitar with the amazing colour. Unplugged it rings like a bell. I think you got a good one. Very nice.
So cool Mr. Fujita, by the way... I've been following you on Instagram months ago. Awesome guitar skills. Oh and your Blue Stratocaster is my Favorite and most Favorite Fender Stratocaster of all. God bless you, Sir Tomo. You are such an inspiration. Sending Love from the Philippines. 💙💙💙🎸🎸🎸
I love how an unboxing directly from Fender naturally turns into actual playing and a song analysis before the video is over. Stay awesome, Tomo-san! Much love and peace! How's the weight?
Thank you so much! This guitar was set up so great! Especially the tremolo bridge. So good! I need to imitate this (for other guitar) Yes. I bought this at Fender online store (first time!) Very light!
That thing is beautiful. I wish they would put the truss rod adjustment in the headstock rather than the heel though. Price you pay for a painted headstock I guess. Thanks for sharing Tomo!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Hi I bought the Perussian Blue Ibanez a couple weeks ago. So far love it and the neck is beautiful. Flawlessly made. Needed a real set up beyond factory and the place purchased from who say they adjust things. After a professional setup. I believe it will be my go to guitar.
@@TomoFujitaMusic will be watching to hear. BTW Your daughter is beautiful. Does she also have the guitar bug. My beautiful daughter is 35 years and has No interest 😕. A segment on "how to pass on the music legacy" would be interesting. I am working on the grandkids to take your course.
Am I seeing things or do you have to remove the neck to adjust the truss rod? I didn’t see an adjustment nut at the heel joint and the area they usually put it on modern strats was solid painted on the headstock. About Gear Acquisition: Don’t feel bad. I bought one of the not so limited HM Strats because I just love the colors and aesthetics of 80’s Super Strats and I don’t even know how to play heavy metal; don’t have any metal effects pedals or amps either lol
While I was in Japan last month, I found a great deal on a Miyavi Telecaster and bought it. I did not need a new guitar, but I like Miyavi from his early Dué le quartz days and the guitar has very unique features for a Telecaster along with being made in Japan along so I had to have it. Passed it up that day then took a train back the next day to get it. My number one rule is to not buy guitars with very similar specs to what I already have. However, I will probably by the Haruna Telecaster next time because it has such a beautiful finish. Japanese guitar shops are the worse place to go to if you have gear acquisition syndrome lol. That being said, great looking guitar! I really like that finish.
When you tune always tune up to the note never down. When you tune down and stop at the note you release the tension required for any guitar to hold tune.
The new guitar. Wow beauty!! Isn't it a special guitar for the Lady Artist names H.E.R.?? Either way the setup person saw your name I'm sure and wanted to be sure it comes to you perfect!!
Another couple of strats are on my wishlist. I’ll have to check out the specs though , since you are excited about the neck. What’s the profile of that neck?
Hello mister Tomo, great looking & sounding guitar!!! I hope that you won't mind my question - why the bridge on the other guitar (also BEAUTIFUL Fender Cyclone), makes such an angle? Looks like strings are pulling your bridge upwards -, away from the body? ( Clearly my English is not very good, but I hope that it's good enough & that you will be able to understand me. Greetings from Serbia ! )
Hi, Tomo. Unpacking a new guitar always leaves an exciting impression, because you are afraid of being deceived in your expectations. However, after you are amazed by its beautiful appearance, and then by its bright sound, you experience pleasure and feel really happy ... Congratulations! Beautiful guitar. Great sound. It remains only to have fun and enjoy it ... P.S. The artist was asked: - What is your most beautiful painting? - The one I haven't drawn yet. ...)) ;)
It’s ok Tomo. Gas will get to the best of us hahaha . It’s not really a problem for you since it’s kind of your job. I’m also a collector (not at the same level as you) but if you make good decisions with the purchase guitars can actually hold their value pretty well. Not cheap stuff like squires but even some Mexican strats from the 90s I got are still worth like 500$ some more than I paid for them originally. Also as others have mentioned that one you got does really seem to be pretty loud and “rings” unplugged
@@TomoFujitaMusic you certainly have influenced many guitarists over the years, and I've been a fan of your instruction and advice for a couple of decades now. I really do need to practice more though. Lol!
Absolutely love the color and the matching headstock, especially paired with the maple fretboard and topped of with that silver pickguard.

Thank you! I was going to make this video this week, but I just could not wait! Even you are a beginner then you could be a pro guitar buyer!
I have too many guitars: Said no guitarist ever
I would say that. I could say that. People would something different that they would say...
Perfect number of guitars is n+1 where n is the number of guitars you currently own.
@@Jonpoo1 Or as long as all fit in your house!

I’m a poor man, I only have 2 a Yamaha 612 Vii and a prs Starla se, love them both
Love the blue and freezy aesthetic especially! So clean, and that's sometimes all you need!
Depends on direction, its almost Purple! Thanks so much!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Oh nice! You are welcome!
This is my dream guitar. I'm going to reward myself with it after I get enough courage to perform live onstage somewhere.
Lovely guitar! Great show case!
I have a japanese stratocaster 19 84 . In the same colour so I love it very much indeed . I keep looking at a telecaster it's very hard to resist so many beautiful instruments .
So awesome! Great to hear that.
Beautiful color...glad that you have it and play some cool stuff with it... thanks
Thanks for watching! Thank you!
Wow, that color is so groovy! Love H.E.R., so great that she has her own signature series. Great video Tomo! 🤙🏽
So Gorgeous! Thank you so much!
Such a beautiful guitar, and in the hands of a master. Can’t get any better.
Thanks so much!
Lovely guitar Tomo and such a very beautiful colour. The matching headstock is classy! Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

Love the color, and the fact that they painted the headstock as well. I'm usually not a big fan of strats personally, but that looks amazing 😀
Do you own any strat?
@@ChespiritoChavo322 Not currently, no. But i have had one previously :)
Me too! "The limited edition" so I had to buy it right after I saw Fender email. Thanks for sharing!

When you tune always tune up to the note never down. When you tune down and stop at the note you release the tension required for any guitar to hold tune.
Wow, you're a regular dispensary of common knowledge. You don't think he knows that? He just doesn't care to bother with it.
Thanks for sharing!
I often stretch the strings until they are staying in tune.
@@Billkwando I watched it happen several times on this video. I stopped assuming people know things a long time ago.
What a beautiful guitar. Very nice. Thanks for sharing!!! ✌😻
Thank you! Thanks for sharing.
I missed the limited edition epiphone snow falcon V new and now it's like fifteen hundred used
Thanks for sharing.
The new guitar. Wow beauty!! Isn't it a special guitar for the Lady Artist names H.E.R.?? Either way the setup person saw your name I'm sure and wanted to be sure it comes to you perfect!!
Yes! Thanks so much!
Pretty guitar. Do we get to hear it plugged in?
Thank you! Yes! Next video!
Wow! Suspense and excitement. Fun stuff. Which mode best expresses that?
Thanks so much!
Another couple of strats are on my wishlist. I’ll have to check out the specs though , since you are excited about the neck. What’s the profile of that neck?
Very similar to vintage guitar. Reminds me John Mayer's Fender Stratocaster. It's so perfect! Like D shape to me.
Great color
So gorgeous!
Another new guitar! Nice😄
Thanks so much!
I been wanting that guitar
Great one!
Love a maple fret board; like Buddy Holly!
This neck shape is so amazing! I love it!
Nothing better than a naked maple fretboard on a fender. I'd choose it over the rosewood any day
Hello mister Tomo, great looking & sounding guitar!!! I hope that you won't mind my question - why the bridge on the other guitar (also BEAUTIFUL Fender Cyclone), makes such an angle? Looks like strings are pulling your bridge upwards -, away from the body? ( Clearly my English is not very good, but I hope that it's good enough & that you will be able to understand me. Greetings from Serbia ! )
Wow! You were looking so carefully! I was setting it like what Jeff Beck would do... Thank you! Yes!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you so much for your reply !!! I really appreciate it !
Noice..enjoy your guitar, sensei. Gabriella is a very talented song writer, and guitar player, too!
Thank you! Yes Gabi is amazing!
Good stuff Took , I like the guitar.
Thanks for sharing. So good!
Hi, Tomo.
Unpacking a new guitar always leaves an exciting impression, because you are afraid of being deceived in your expectations. However, after you are amazed by its beautiful appearance, and then by its bright sound, you experience pleasure and feel really happy ...
Congratulations! Beautiful guitar. Great sound. It remains only to have fun and enjoy it ...
P.S. The artist was asked:
- What is your most beautiful painting?
- The one I haven't drawn yet. ...)) ;)
Thanks for sharing. Thank you so much!
It’s ok Tomo. Gas will get to the best of us hahaha . It’s not really a problem for you since it’s kind of your job. I’m also a collector (not at the same level as you) but if you make good decisions with the purchase guitars can actually hold their value pretty well. Not cheap stuff like squires but even some Mexican strats from the 90s I got are still worth like 500$ some more than I paid for them originally. Also as others have mentioned that one you got does really seem to be pretty loud and “rings” unplugged
Thank you! I need to know things so this is my education fee! This was my first MIM guitar. Thanks for sharing.
Where is the Tomo Fujita signature model?
I am not famous! That wont happen! Thank you anyway!
This guitar is so great! Especially the neck profile! Amazing!
@@TomoFujitaMusic you certainly have influenced many guitarists over the years, and I've been a fan of your instruction and advice for a couple of decades now. I really do need to practice more though. Lol!
@@RyansCustomShopandGearOutlet Thank you so much!
Tomo, that guitar is looking insane!
So gorgeous! Thank you!
Beautiful guitar, Tomo! I love the color and matching headstock. What was the title of the song you were playing?
Thanks so much! So gorgeous!
Every Kind of way ... around 07:40
@@TomoFujitaMusic Thanks! Every Kind of Way by H.E.R. That makes sense. Enjoy the beautiful new strat.
Really Resonant.
