Thanks, I’ll never be able to unsee that MJ impersonation 😂
Just saw it. I think I peed a little
I'll never be able to hear the word Suoana without seeing that visual 😂
He somehow manages to get more cringe every week.
He even put 1 glove on! 🤣
Better than I could do…
“Suona” means “it plays” in Italian. Since the guitar has an Italian spruce top (like Stradivari’s violins), I guess that’s the reasoning behind the name.
it is also means swamp in finnish
Two Fender Fridays in a row? We are blessed!
These are made from not only Italian spruce, but spruce from the Val Di Fiemme, which is the valley where Stradivari sourced the spruce for his famous stringed instruments. These trees came down in a severe storm in 2018 and the wood was saved during the pandemic from being chipped up and going to landfills.
That is so cool. One of the few guitars that makes me wish I could live a few centuries to play the truly aged version.
I pushed 'like' on this specifically for the Michael Jackson impression. That guitar looks awesome. I really wanted one of those Eric Johnson thine line strats for a while. So cool.
Those cases are originally the EJ strat cases. I have a Pale Moon strat. The case is so pretty. Love the interior!
Just found an apparently very rare Fender Japan Thinline Jazzmaster from around 2011 on Reverb. No f-hole, but it’s still chambered out and it looks really nice. Out of my price range, but it was nice to learn about something I never knew existed.
They did a thinline Jag too. Magical guitar.
They remind me of the matching Fender Elite Walnut (Gold) series from 1983-84. Fender had three very unique guitars--Elite Tele, Strat, and P-bass II -all had active electronics, noise free pups, a treble boost. The Fender strat had three button pup selector. Gold hardware, special ATA gold cases…very cool series
I have two of the EJ thinlines. It's definitely an interesting take on the traditional Strat.
Do they sound particularly different to the regular strats? Like are they warmer?
And is feedback ever an issue?
Congratulations David.
Interesting specs. Beautiful guitar.
Nice to see Fender keeping the cost down by not having fretboard inlays, would have been four grand otherwise.
😂😂😂😂😂
Looks like a good day to be fender Friday.
I burst out into laughter at 1:28 😂😂
Fender Japan had a Thinline Strat they made a couple of years ago. A friend of mine got one in cherry red, it has a double bound body (no contour at all), two humbuckers, a bound rosewood fretboard with block inlays. Interesting instrument for sure.
I really like it! It does have some projection acoustically over a normal solid strat imo. I learned and grew up playing a strat, so I am pretty stoked to see a thin line version being made. I agree the price is out there but it's very different in construction and I can see it warranting somewhat of a premium. Hopefully it is successful and becomes a standard with more standard pricing. I think it is really great! The pups sound great as well. Thanks to the guy that NGD'd this and you for sharing it.
🤘❤🤘
And a strat bridge is notoriously ice picky. You learn to tone knob it.
Yeay!! Fender Friday. A nice break from the all mighty Les Paul's indeed!!
01:28 Worst. Trogly. Scene. Ever. 😄
9.5" is hardly a vintage radius. It's on like 95% of all current Fender output.
Interesting. I love the clean look of non inlay fretboards.
Thanks for giving us a break from Gibsons more often recently
Thank David!
@@Trog Thanks David :) But seriously: I like you, I like your show, I like guitars. But I don’t click anymore on a video about a Les Paul. Not only are Les Pauls not very interesting guitars because they are all so very similar. But also most of the Gibsons on your channel nowadays are collectors items for very wealthy boomer lawyers and stockbrokers. And that’s not who I am. But keep up the good work anyway.
Nice to see another Fender Friday guitar! This is a cool Strat imho, congrats to its new owner!
I wish Fender did the matching headstock more often
2nd Fender friday in a row... awesome
A beauty!! Do more Fenders.
the suonas look so nice! ive realy been wanting the jazz bass. but id take any of the 3! glad you got to check one out!
Naah ' Strat chambered with an F hole ' Yikes ' ...sounds great though and a variety of tone too. The case harks back to the early 60s with the Blonde tolex that adorned the amps 62-63, it was also used on the Fender cases for the then top of the range Jazzmaster and just then introduced Jaguar.
A hard tail HSS might help the acoustical and electric qualities. I'd prefer a modern F hole and some dots personally. Some of that wood is pretty choice, that streak knot will get cooler with age. If it was my new purchase I'd be stressing over the dinged ebony at the first fret though.
We like to bash on Gibson's QC but can we talk about the tooling marks on that fretboard?
Neato cool fabulous wow , I really like it !...Ive seent them ( the set ) for sale on different sites , didnt know it has a flat top , I dig the whole vibe , look , sound etc...also I love semi-hollow guitars , man that bass is super cool !...Thanks Trogly !
That's pretty damn cool
Was that a chip on the first fret?
Very nice video to know this beautiful guitar. 🎉
Perfect timing, Trogly. It looks like the same finish on Billy's Hofner bass they just finally found!
Man the Fender TC-90 was my first thinline love. This one has a lot going on.
I think this is my favourite guitar you've ever reviewed.
What an incredible Strat!
I would love to try this, the Tele and the Jazz Bass.
No arm carve or any effort to remedy this like a radiused top is an absolute dealbreaker - almost had it though.
Fender Friday! Nice fiddle!
That neck is beautiful. Nice quarter-sawn wood. I'd take it.
Nice tone!
Yeah, that's a nice looking and sounding axe, would love to own one. Would definitely look amazing with a tortoise shell binding and pick guard
Sounds great acoustic. Would scream and cry at volume no doubt
I like it with dirt a little bright for me clean. Just curious do you change amp settings for different guitars?
What happen to the scope camera for semi hollows?
That is very cool. Sounded bigger than a normal strat.
Thx for doing the acoustic tones first! Excellent review
Oooh Suona!
like "my sharona" ?
If the "Heirs Of Leo" are going to do variations, I'm thinking that an actual archtop Strat should be next on the list of to-do's. I agree with Trog about the binding; it should be tortoise-shell, and a tort pickguard would look real nice, too.
Quick question guys - does anyone ever use anything but the neck pup when playing their Strats? I've owned one for over 30 years & I can't remember the last time I moved off the neck, it just sounds so damn good lol.
Yay Fender friday 🎉
Dude that MJ thing was unexpected and hard to watch 🤣 hilarious but damn haha
Price? Seriously, Fender!!!!
But: good news, y'all!
I would expect a Squier to appear forthwith.....priced around $600 ....just chill out for a bit.
Okay, now the next step would be if Fender would license from BMG the kind of electronics that Brian May pioneered for the Red Special and Incorporated it into a model like this. I imagine Brian wouldn't feel bad to know how closely Fender was trying to get within their own product line to emulating his homemade guitar.
Nice! I think the Jazz Bass is the coolest, but too rich for my blood.
The Erie Johnson model is cheaper but I don't know the stats.. I love that look & a ebony fretboard always seems to cut through the mix for me anyway (I had the "Strat" model with an ebony replacement neck) but the Trogster liked it! Only saw one Gibson in the whole video?
Fender is always doing someing cool
Ebony fretboard with no inlays? Yessir I’m a fan.
I’m glad the control cavity half of the body is chambered. I figured it was lame and mostly for looks and just the F hole half.
And gj Fender wiring the bridge to a tone pot.
That Thinline Jazz bass is handsome, but I would be concerned about neck dive.
Salutations Austin!
Nice Suoma Thinline Stratocaster!
I haven’t seen one of these until now, thanks to you!
While you were playing without amplification it actually seems to project additional sound out to the microphone, which you may not have been aware of, because it was projecting away from you, but the microphone picked up the sound quite easily.
It would be an interesting instrument to add a piezoelectric pickup in the bridge saddles, such as the Fishman bridge or something similar, to obtain an acoustic guitar sound in addition to the standard electric guitar sounds, just like the Alex Lifeson Signature Access Les Paul has. There seems to be plenty of room for additional electronics.
Thank you for sharing your experience with this instrument with us all and posting these videos!
Please have an excellent and awesome day!
☀️✨🎸
interesting review. very inspired accoustic demo! ✨ says another “david” 😉👌🏼
is the no inlay like and f hole / burst to mimic a viola? bc it's working haha 😅 and i've got custom shop pickups in my '99 neck/middle and they are my favourites even along side the new gen4 noiseless
I just got this guitar at the new year. It is the most comfortable strat I have ever played. I have always played a 69 telecaster thinline reissue and really like the 7.25 radius. So the compound neck just feels good to me.
I think there is supposed to be something very special about Italian spruce, I don't really know. If someone could fill me in, I would greatly appreciate that.
Also, does anyone else have anything from this Suona line? If so, let me know what you think about yours.
Cool Guitar 🎸
Decent color. I like the headstock. Hate the neck, really don't like not having dots or bar markers on the neck. And I agree way too expensive, won't be buying one of those anytime soon.. peck
Good call on the tortoise binding ! Pick guard as well would fancy it up a bit more. Pretty good sound.
Trippin askin for 3 bands
Production level at custom shop price?🎸🥺
Agreed, crazy. You could probably get a luthier to custom build you a thin line strat with premium hardware for that price or not much more.
@@gdawgs101It's the brand on the headstock that matters.
@@BukanIbuMu Yeesh, you must not be a very good player...
@@gdawgs101 you can't see the sarcasm in my comment?
Austin, please tell me you saw the Gilmore mod LP on reverb. I wish I could afford it right now, definitely should be on a wyron
Hey Trogly, can you make a video about the Fender left-handed Dick Dale Signature Stratocaster a.k.a. "The Beast"? Dick Dale is one of my idols when it comes to surf music and heavy metal rock so I'll be glad if you do it. Thank you from Vietnam.
P.S. You can play it like Jimi Hendrix
That's one weird 335, but i can dig it...
You should add a little Reverb so people can hear the magic..
Another Fender Friday!
Good call returning the sg, can't wait to see what comes next
$3k? Ouch!
And for a fretboard as rough as that one! That’s a no for me!
I don't have problems with the many 4-5,000$ guitars on the market but man.... it was only like 4 years ago that the mass produced custom shop strats were $3000-3500. For only the thinline build, custom style wiring/pickup and ebony board $3000 seems like at least $500 too much for this one.
Nice to see some Fenders instead those crappy Gibson instruments :)
The fretboard seems chipped /dinged at the first fret.
Price is blown, especially for the bass
I just hate the sunburst, I love the idea.
for 3k 4 piece top seems outrageous
Honestly? Does it matter? You can barely see the differenfe and the wood looks great
@@otavio048
Yes... it's a premium instrument it should have premium specs.
in acoustic and classical guitar world this will actually get you crucified....
Although the pbass looks cool gotta admit
@@TemkaUwU yeah i agree 3000 dollars is a lot, way above anything i could ever afford, but i really dont see why that matters, is it really just because thats the standard for a expensive guitar?
@@otavio048 yeah imo if you are paying this much you should get what you pay for. I'm also nowhere near buying a guitar of that price but I'm still picky with 4-500$ guitars
i really think he miscounted. spruce is really stripe-y and with the stain, it could get hard to tell what's a seam. The exception is if they couldn't find alpine spruce stock large enough to cover a whole top, but they build cellos out of this wood, so I doubt that is the case.
I played one of these a few weeks ago. To be honest, even if it was lovely, it was only ok. Full disclosure, though, I’m a Tele guy.
I like this one better than the Eric Johnson thinline because the f-hole is more towards the back.
Omg on mj
fender usa are nitro inports are poly
Pretty, and it sounds nice, but $3K seems a bit much.
That MJ impression was hilarious 3kk
Didn’t have Trogly impersonating MJ in my 2024 bingo card 😂
3k no thanks not my style of Fender
I’m thinking the semi hollow might improve sustain. If you never heard the Ted Nugent comment on the first time he tried a Stratocaster it’s hilarious, you gotta check it out!
Who needs a Suona in the Antigua finish? OK nobody.😂😂😂
A friend and nationally known musician who also heads up the Voice of thr Wetlands festival here in my town has been playing a thinking Telecaster for quite a few years. I almost picked one up in 2014 but I decided on a solid body. There is also a Telecaster that's a semi hollow I think that's a little wider than a solid body . Back then they also had something similar to the Sonics but were some what different than they are today.
I got to sit in on 2nd guitar with Tab on the drums at the North Atlantic Blues Festival, playing at the Time Out Pub after the show. He's a real down to earth guy, and passionate about saving the wetlands.
You ever seen a Japanese HMT Tele?
That's an oddball for you
For a Strat that is pretty sweet.
9:09 12:54
Dang...
Love that new style of playing Demo just sitting casually on the table.😊
I think it’s a nice Strat, but nothing real special? I do like the Ebony fingerboard the spruce top doesn’t really make too big of a difference. The pick up sound pretty thin to me, but then again, that might just be the mic? I think it’s outrageously overpriced. If you’re going to go that route, I would get the Brent Mason tele and get about 10 times more on it. But still a very nice guitar.
✨suona 🇮🇹✨🇺🇸 it sounds✨
Let’s DO IT!
Trogly must be high today... great MJ impersanation....
that MJ impersonation made my day!
