Relatives of many Mexican immigrants work at fender USA.... and people get snobby about the MIM stuff?... blows my mind. MIM is made by people who care and take pride in their work, while QC is relatively the same and the end result is incredible. Thanks for spotlighting a great guitar Chris
It's not that often you click on a video and see yourself in a window behind the stage! Haha!
Prove its you
@@svensvensson6705 why even like about something like that. I've actually got the video I shot through the window for a bit, as well as photos I took there, one with Ben/Crimson Guitars, etc. Why did you even bother to comment?
@@GuvnaOnSpotify It was just kidding with you. But the fact that you actually had to defended yourself shows a lot.
@@svensvensson6705 more in surprise than anything
The simple truth: the greatness is in your hands . Instead of pumping 600,000 dollar guitars , you do everybody a service by fostering a love of everyman Strats. Thanks and keep up the great work.
The first time I played my Vintera 50s Strat, it was like putting on a comfy old shoe. Perfect fit. No probs at all with neck, frets, bending. The old style trem, heavenly. Love the subtly vintage look too.
Chris that's the longest I've ever seen you play continuously with a pick without switching to your fingers.
The solo at the beginning is one of many highlights of the Buck and Evans album. It reminds me a bit of David Gilmour.
in the first 3 seconds i thought it was comfortably numb lol
Gilmour was heavily influenced by Chris. LOL!
Oh yeah? Just a bit?
Gotta love that classic strat sound!
Seems like a great guitar! And just to be clear if some of you aren't quite sure... If you decide to get the guitar it will not enable you to play it the way Mr. Buck does ;)
Let's face it, Chris could make an old broom stick and rubber band sound godly...!
Great tone Chris ! You and Matthew are what it's all about. Thanks for sharing #
I bought a Vintera 50s Tele in fiesta red last September and it’s a beauty! Great guitars.
I don't know why, but I'd love to re-create the journey that a lot of these old guitars went through with one of these Vinteras. swap the pickups, carve down the pickguard, route and install a floyd by hand, and eventually put the old bridge back on it LOL.
Such a cool instrument.
Seems like a classic Strat, which is fantastic - I have always loved it.
I have one of those.....doesn't sound like that tho lol
Because you can't play it lol
@@vojtaz9518 ouch 😁
Beautiful playing
I would really like to do a Clapton with the vintera 50’s and the Clapton electronics. Like a brand new original blackie with no damage and the kit. Or just a 50’s, like this just to have the vintage feel, change of pace. Great playing Chris.
Nice playing, worthy of that strat.
I have a Vintera 50s Strat and it’s fantastic. At least as good as my USA Strat Plus. In fact I prefer it.
I recently bought a Korean made strat guitar from late 1990s and it came with everything original. The playability and sound of this strat is so beautiful and sounds like a great Fender strat should sound. I paid only $100 plus shipping. Now I am looking for a second one for my son.
All the best for the new year Chris..👍🇦🇺
I am very close to pulling the trigger on the 50’s Vintera roadworn in surf green and this video has pretty much sealed the deal! 🎸🔥
Did you? 🎸 🤔
I have a 1989 MIJ 57 reissue in the same colour scheme. There’s no problem with the vintage neck radius and the pickups are excellent. And they work to about the same price as these if you calculate inflation. They could have been less vintage correct with the position of the truss rod adjustment, though .....
That London Show Clinic was the first time we met. See you at the Robin 2 on Sunday 😉 Happy New Year Chris 😊
Nice performance... 👍
you sir is a great guitarist i saw you live and you are very good.
I've An American Original 50's Strat. As Someone said "Love that Strat Sound ".!!
@Justin Church,I've had this Guitar 1yr 3mths & the only signs of wear are a few frets.Apart from that it's Fine. Why do you ask?
Justin Church I have an Am Original fifties Strat... from twenty seventeen (phone won't type numbers) and play it every day for gigs and home practice. It's starting to wear... buckle rash, a few Nick's and dings and a little fretboard and back neck wear. In another year it will start to look noticeable. Yay!
Justin Church Yes...in back and a few places around the edges. Not really noticeable on stage...yet. But eventually. The hard shine is beginning to look more like a soft gloss. The sound and playability are great! Have always had vintage radius necks, but am loving the slightly flatter fingerboard on this bad boy. ☺️
@Justin Church
Just saw this...let me figure out what I can do. Only ever texted photos from one phone to another. If you have a smartphone I can text to (and not afraid to send a # to my email...Tguitarfloyd@gmail.com)
We'll see what I can do.
08:53
A serial number to remember as a Chris Buck's strat from 2019. ;)
No lefty Vintera’s. However you can get a left-handed American Original 50’s Strat in white with an ash body for approx UK £1,400.00 - and it is a great guitar. Includes a hard case too.
Love the play, commitment, attitude, ...I am a tele guy, my 52 vintera is great.
The American vintage/original series is not a custom shop run. They have these specs and more for a great price point
Not a 50's vintage spec but I bought a Fender MIM Player Strat, cherryburst with flame maple cap for $250 yesterday. I'm pulling out the HSS pickups and pick guard. Cutting a new pick guard with volume knob relocated forward between neck and middle pickup and farther from strings yet close enough for volume swells. Reason? Like millions of strat players, I'm sick and tired of accidentally hitting the volume knob and turning the volume down during the big solo. Add $81 for a Vintera pickup set and Bob's you uncle.
Man I wish they had it with a rosewood fretboard
Dn need to hear Great Gig in the Sky with her singing ...
Your playing is amazing
I have a Classic Player Strat. Mexican. Modern appointments are 2 point bridge, 9.5” radius neck, locking tuners and 5 way switch with different wiring on pos 4 (bridge and neck together).
Classic wise there’s a soft V neck, 21 frets, single ply scratch plate, ‘57/‘62 Custom Shop designed pickups and its 50s Shoreline Gold.
I’m not a start player at all. Gibson’s and Tele shut me way better. But I love the Classic Player Strat. The soft V neck suits me way bettter than normal Strat necks.
Hands down the best strat for the money is the Classic Series and the new Vintera series. I have two 70's Classic (one of the first ones ever made in 1999 and a 2008) and they are superb strats. The wood selection is not as nice as US for the necks. That's it. Like literally. Only thing I have changed on both is the trem springs to Raw Vintage. I paid £250 for the 2008 and £325 a few years later (winflation) for the '99. Both superb guitars, never going to need another strat ..
The pre-2004 Classics have a period-correct neck, with a pronounced shoulder and wider nut width. The post-2004's have a really nice U shaped neck corresonding narrow nut. Fits your hand like a glove. Both are excellent in their own way. The former is better for getting around on, the latter is perfect for rhythm playing.
Only criticism I hear of these is that the pickups are too 'trebly'. Ok. Well. If you think that Fat 50's sound 'vintage' you're a muppet. Is all. And no you don't need to faff with the wiring. If the bridge is too sharp, roll of the volume to 9. Problem solved. Oh and its II II on the springs. Decked. Thank me later..
Merry/Happy Christmas/Holidays and hopes for a Happy New Year.
Had to get rid of mine. It felt cheap all around compared to my 50s and 60s original series strats
the interesting part about hw1 is, their 12 inches radius fretboard.
i’d rather the Japan Hybrid MIJ fenders. all vintage but 9.5” radius with slim C neck
vintera preserve period correct specs but with modern electronic setups I heard.
Great stuff Chris. These V shaped necks with period f/b radius and frets have been around, I believe , for many years. I think they appeared on the ‘50’s Strat and the Jimmy Vaughan sig model. Along with those there’s the Clapton sig model with the same build. It would be interesting to know if their coming off the same CNC machine either in Mexico or US. I really like this neck and have used it on two partscasters. This is an amazingly great guitar for the money.
Reminds me a lot of my Jimmy Vaughan Strat, which cost about the same, similar neck, same color, MIM, skinny frets, vintage tuners, maybe slightly hotter bridge PU ...
Love the look of this Strat and the specs on paper, but having tried one out at Andertons the neck just isn’t for me - the edges are way too sharp and unfinished. Now I’ve got my eye on a 50s modified instead.
i was there and you sounded amazing .ive got that on video.amazing strat tone.
MIJ vintage reissues were great too
Tabo Two Ex I have one and 7.25 radius is not an issue at all. It’s great
@@metalliholic true! I was hesitant at it at first because my first MIJ came with 9.5 in radius but then the moment I laid hands on a perfectly setup ri with 7.25in radius it was phenomenal, I hated all other flatter radius after that.
Great info especially on a V style neck ...
Got to hand it to you... Your not half bad.... and that's putting it mildly.
You forgot the roadworn Stratocaster. It even has nitro laquer.
I know I'm really late but I kind of hope you played September at the Fender Clinic.
That opening was tremendous
Brilliant track - it's 'Sinking' by Buck and Evans
Amazing tone and great playing! Can you tell me what pedals and amp you’re using to get such a big singing tone (using a stock single coil pickup ) on the clip in the beginning?
Tone is in the hands! Then why dont they sell hands instead??
You can get them if you know where to look, but you'll probably have to take them to a luthier for installation.
Does this Strat in this video having Fender stock pickups or your signature pickups?
Sam George Stock 🙂
Got its predecessor, a Classic Player 50s, a great guitar. Upgraded it with Radioshop pickups and its a total killer now ))
Ivan Kachkovski... me too, a shoreline gold with lundgrens 50's formvar pickups
JONNIE_ROCKER mine is Shoreline Gold too... never imagined I would buy a gold guitar but it’s such a cool shade of gold!
Chris was the opening footage filmed at the UK Guitar Show? It was my first time seeing you live and you absolutely smashed it out the park! We were stood just off to the right
Are these style V necks better for smaller hands to play Hendrix style chords (thumb over the 6th string)? Cheers
Thank you Chris for the video, another proof you sound great on any guitar. Would love your opinion and possibly video on the fender Mexican Jimmy Hendrix 2015 stratocaster. Thank you
Hey Chris, hope you are doing fine. Could you please tell us which amp and cab are you simulating in Guitar Rig for this video? Thanks Bro
The Vintera sounds great Chris but at the price point especially the one with the S1 switching you could pick up a really decent second hand American Strat which would sound great and not depreciate as much through time . I’ve played a Fender Player and didn’t think it was as good as the old Mexican standard Strat even although they have ceramic pickups . I have a 2000 Deluxe Strat which I bought second-hand with noiseless pickups and it didn’t cost anywhere near the price of a Vintera .
Funny as soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew it was a vintera strat. They got one at a local guitar shop. My first thought were USA but no it Mexican made. Great guitar but for that money Fender japan and Tokai spring to mind ☺
It's inspiring to see you tearing up those frets.
Bruh! Grab a Dangelico DC and do a review on that. Get one with a stair step tail piece. 🤟
I did a review if the single cut version ;)
It's almost to bad in a sorts that you have to almost do a disclaimer about having youre guitars just so the PC crowd won't attempt to cancel you out. I'm telling you We are living in a strange world these day's I grew up and came of age around the mid 1970s and other then the occasional left leaning teacher trying to swing the students,That world was nothing like the world we live in today.I almost feel sorry for you younger guy's& Girls / & other's . So confined..........don't dare trying to break out with out first giving an explanation. Great video keep it up... Peace!!
I want this exact guitar. Your playing is admirable.
Wait what guitar was he talking about again? Was paying too much attention to this guys playing 😅
The opening and closing... were those stock pickups? Seems reminiscent of DG........
Hi Chris - It seems that Fender have discontinued this guitar :( You know anywhere I can pick one up in the UK??
Sounds like everyone else. Still great
Nice guitar and video, but not even a mention of American Original 50s?
I have a 52 reissue tele. Quite like the 7.25 but it does ‘choke out’ when I bend more than a full step. Perhaps that’s the set up I have or maybe me. I just compensate and play that guitar differently. Chris seems to bend more than a full step on this guitar though.
The guitar I am most used to is a 9.5 radiusAmerican series strat. Gilmour Bends ahoy.
Could just be my technique or set up with the 7.25 why it’s more of a fight. I hope it’s the latter.
Damian Hillan when I level frets on a vintage style fingerboard. After levelling I then put tape very the 13th fret and between the b and a string I level at an angle. Which means the frets become ever so slightly lower towards the body end. In a way it creates a compound radius. But not so much that you see or feel it but it allows lower choke free bending.
They are just rebranded classic series. Mexico started making really good guitars from 2006-present. Classic, classic player, roadworn, some sifnatures, even standards( when they upraded trem block and pickups) so no doubt that they are good and that they sound well. On the other hand new american original has become something like a first gen of avri 57-62 hot rods, but with regular pickups(it now has 9,5 radius, thinner coat of paint, softer v neck etc) I have avr's and one mexican strat, while mim isn't that "perfect" as them, it sounds and feels great(with some tweaks and fretwork of course).
But what I don't understand anymore, is fender's custom shop. Every god damn guitar, that they make now, has some "relic", to show how "worn" they are, from all those buckles no one ever wears, dings from the gigs they never had, from the road they never went to. Just stupid and retarded. Are they making guitars today so that you hang them on the wall and lie to yourself and people, if they ever car eat all, how big of a rock star you once were or is it made to be played? Want a relic, buy an old guitar, or do your own "relic" by using the damn thing 10+ years.
How do you get such a nice tone through the bridge pickup? Tone control on guitar or amp controls or both? How do you balance a great bridge tone without forsaking the neck pickup tone? Many thanks in advance for advice.
I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the bridge pup is wired to the bottom tone. I have an inexpensive set of Alnico 5 pups in my ‘91 MIM strat, and the bridge actually sounds great wide open. It’s bright, but not like a regular bridge. I also have passive treble bass controls so I can cut highs with the top tone and bass with the bottom. If I’m too bright on the bridge, I simply roll some high end off. If I’m too muddy on the neck, cut bass.
Since u made the video about your Highway one strat the prices of them have skyrocketed. I can’t seem to find a good deal on one anymore. But I knew it was bound to happen eventually. A little known fact Is that fender never gave her a guitar. They let her use them but never keep them. I hope my resources are wrong about this. Anyways. Have a good rest of your holidays
Slovy* Years later Fender built a custom shop version and presented it to her (Mary Kaye). It was chronicled in Vintage Guitar Magazine.
Was that great gig in the sky
anyone know if his guitar has the stock pups in ?
Man you have an incredibile and unique style! What kind of pick do you use? Cheers!
Thanks Yannic. Whatever's to hand to be honest but usually a Dunlop 1.14 or 1.5mm :)
Strymon Iridium review please.... 😬
I’ve had and sold a 1978 USA Strat, now own a 2011 FSR USA and can’t gel with it, despite setting it up to perfection, you have to really work at it to make it sing. I loved my 78, but it lacked that vintage tele sound. I know the 78 had an Ash body, quite heavy. I’m a lefty, so it’s hard to try out variations of the Strat, but I think I may try out a Squire CV or something with 50’s spec, these days the quality of cheaper guitars are close to the high end ones made in the USA. One day I’ll find that perfect Strat. You certainly did this variant justice, one worth trying for sure. You must have had your fair share of Strats?
Maybe buy a vintera 70s strat... I'm a big fan of the natural colour one (I haven't played one, just seen one, but you could try one at a store. -they look EXTREMELY accurate to original due to the correct neck profile, pickups, lacquer, bullet truss rod, strange neck plate and all as well as maple fingerboard for the natural one
Linus Blaney You must of read my mind, I must of been sleeping on it as when I woke up, I had a flash memory of the Ventera range. Finding a store stocking left handed ones will be a challenge, I assume you can get one left handed, I’ll check see what comes up. Thanks for the heads up, maybe it’s a blessing?
@@DenisAhmet haha good luck finding the one
@@DenisAhmet I found this.... I can't find any vinteras but the traditional Japan ones ... www.peachguitars.com/guitars/electric-guitars/fender-japan-traditional-50s-strat-left-handed-black.htm?opt=13718&gclid=Cj0KCQiAl5zwBRCTARIsAIrukdPPQvVSFOE4g4L96XA9vGh-LwuUFkzy-qMxylhmO2VfmUDQlnlGjw0aAv15EALw_wcB

What solo is this on 6:15
Tried one and the neck was just not for me, very beautiful guitar though.
Jimmie Vaughan strat?
Are you wearing... black skinny jean cargo pants?
Custom Shop specs. What the hell is that. Fender has become such a scam. What they want to do most is to sell their Squiers. That's where they make all their money. A $4,000 Telecaster seriously. And can you believe it people actually pay that much. So now they jacked up there Mexican guitars. Soon they will all be $1,500. $4,000 for a Telecaster!! I repeat.
You changed you plecktrum to YELLOW WERES the purple
Do you need high action to avoid fretting out with 2 or 3 step bends with the 7.25 radius neck?
Donald Parker how would high action help?
@@ryleyeaton7349 Because geometry. The higher the saddle, the greater the angle the string forms between the fret you are bending on and the saddle, which could offer more clearance to avoid fret out on the next higher fret.
Donald Parker that makes sense never really even thought about that as simple as it is but I’ve also never had that problem. Speaking from experience tho I’ve only ever fretted out a couple times whilst bending and that was around the 15th fret mark. I assume a good setup with levelled frets is the key rather than higher action
Does it still have the zinc tremblock like the old MIM Classics?
Its a big block but doesnt look like steel looks like pot metal, still adds loads of sustain along with the ash body. Wish it had a hardtail version
Chris you are a Great player But ....Music being a team sport and you’re playing in the Premier league with Buck and Evans...
Well done and lucky you..
What. The. Hell.
What?
@@ChrisBuckGuitar how good your playing is, surely?!
Great value instruments but these aren't even in the same universe as your blue gray guitar or even the sound of your hwy 1 strat.....these vintage specs particularly the frets will absolutely disadvantage a young player. Bending and fretting notes is more difficult this is a matter of physics not opinion. Be warned if you're looking at these the frets will make demands on your playing you may not be used too.
First
I just realized I really hate jazz
Shame that the volume pot is where it is on all other Strats. In the fking way.
