  • Fender Guitars not unlike Gibson, have had their own problems lately. One of them being the uproar surrounding the release of the John Mayer new PRS Silver Sky. I ask two experts how they got here and where they are headed.

    I would like to say, I tend to stay away from signature products. I don't really want to play a guitar with someone else's name on it.

    Why sell Hendrix pickups ?? Hendrix didn’t played Hendrix pickups. He played Fender pickups. Signature guitars are scams.

    When talking fender, no one ever seems to consider what fender himself did...which was start G&L. Smaller company, still boutique. Their custom shop is killer. Seriously well built guitars.

    Well i never paid so much for the name. I used to play squire and epiphone religiously. Well i decided to order a MOD SHOP not custom shop. The guy on the far right said he never played a fender custom shop that blew him away, i say it wasnt PERSONALized by him because simply a MOD SHOP guitar has blown me away and out. No more re tuning, and again, and again, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. No more rattly tuners, crooked knobs, warping necks etc. Its everything a guitar should be. But i did get the most expensive everything. Aprox 2,800. Well if you want an amazing playing experience, go for it.

    "why is John Mayer trashing fender?" If you paid any attention to what John has to say, especially on his Instagram Live videos, he has nothing bad to say about fender and certainly isn't "trashing" them. He said he had some ideas that he wanted to pursue and if he stayed with Fender then he wouldn't get to see those ideas through.

    I feel like they really didn’t talk about prs all that much here

    Who cares what guitar brand a Dentist buys. Most of us buy something sub 1k. And if we want, upgrade the parts and playability ourselves.

    The Mexican fenders are great. Slap your favorite pickups in one, maybe get a new nut and you have a fine guitar!

    Leo's whole concept was based on mass production. Fender is now very far away from their roots. I briefly built guitars for Collings, now THAT is labor intensive. There's just not that much hand work on a fender to justify anything over $900. Even the finishing process is highly automated

    Rick please do more videos with the 3 of you. I can watch this for hours. Guitar in hand listening to you guys. Much better than cable.

    You guys are absolutely correct. Most of the non USA made artists signature models were made here in Japan. Those guitars are made in the Nagano prefecture where the air is dry and people with precision workmanship. Say the John Jorgenson models, those are made here in Japan with meticulous work. And such workmanship is extended equally to all the other model.

    The reason that Mexican Fenders sound really good is because same reason all the Fender Golden era vintage guitars sound good...

    Fret work is like 80% about what I care about with looking for a new guitar. Fret sprout is such a pet peeve of mine. Most fenders aren’t very good at this. Prs, even on the cheaper stuff do a great job on fret work.

    I swear to God I love RUclips. I can watch interesting content like this which is pertinent to me vs. channel surfing to some BS show on cable. Nice episode Rick. I love this kind of stuff.

    Wow, I just love it that you mentioned Jack Pearson. I just saw him last night and he was awesome. He was playing at the Mane Room in Florence, Alabama. It's the second time I've seen him.

    In the Framus factory tour from the many Guitcon videos it’s mentioned that the CEO doesn’t want to grow. It’s the expectation of continuous growth that ends up killing these brands.
