I had to listen back to see what I did - its not from a particular song (yet :-) just a chord progression G C D with a bit of Em and a A thrown in somewhere. But now you mentioned it, maybe I’ll make a song over that bunch of chords. Later I played a bit of Buck’s music and an intro to a Radney Foster song (Godspeed).
Great review sir, you just convinced me to go buy one. With it being at the price point I was kind of knowing what I would be getting, still great to see an honest review. Thanks again.
Looks fun Colin, sounds decent, hope it's a keeper for you. Disappointing & surprising that Fender didn't include a booklet / manual covering the specs, strings fitted, pickup system and battery installation, but seems like a worthwhile instrument.
@@steveburrows101 I feel the same!!!! Come on, fender. Make me FEEL like I bought an expensive guitar. A little booklet or at least a postcard saying what it is, what number it is, maybe a little bit about buck…..
I got one straight from fender, no booklet or anything, was shipped in a box with no packing materials at all , the battery was loose banging around inside, I’ve probably bought around 300 guitars online,and this was the worst packed guitar out of all of them.
I’m loving it. I’ve only used it at home and a couple of times in studio recordings, not live yet. But I’m very happy with the playability and the sound. I’ve seen the comments from others who were less happy, so I hope you get a good one :-) I’ve leant it to a couple of people to try and they thought it just looked odd, played fine but they couldn’t get over the crazy styling. I like that it’s a bit different is it’s own thing.
@ColinLPrice Yes people we have our own likes and dislikes for me and it sounds like for you too Colin that we like unusual things that are different Yes that's right just hope I get a good one Have a great Christmas Colin thumbs up from Australia 🦘
@ just finally got around to it. I really bought it as more of a collectible because I have the Elvis Clambake too. My battery connector is in a bag that has Velcro on the back to stick it to the inside of the neck heel there.
Mine doesn’t play well at all. The finish on the neck is so thick and glossy it makes it feel terrible. If I had bought it to PLAY, rather than as a collectible…it would be going back toot sweet.
I guess mine will be the same as yours but I don't experience it the same way in terms of playability. The neck feels different to a more matte finish for sure, but it works for me with my way of playing.
@@13druber wow, that’s bad! I’d have done the same (return it) if mine had been like that. It didn’t look like there had been any inspection after leaving the manufacturing place (eg. finding sandpaper in the guitar should not have happened). But it shouldn’t leave the factory as you received it. I can only say mine is fine. Maybe I was just lucky.
A. Get a professional set up with new extra light D’addario strings B. Get some 000 steel wool and lightly sand the back of the neck with it. C. You’re welcome

@ i got another zzounds special. It came damaged and will have to take it to a professional to fix the fishman system. I am never buying from zzounds again
@@RedDawnWOLVthat’s bad luck :-( I guess there’s not much quality control going on after they leave the factory. Let us know what you think of it when it’s sorted. I’m really happy with mine.

Great video! Can I ask, what was that you were playing when you first started playing?

Would see this guitar on American television some 40 to 50 years ago. Buck Owens was a big smile wrapped in serious musical acumen.

Nice and solid sound, looks great!! Hope you keep it, I would!!😃👍
Beauty!!

Hi Colin from Australia I've got myself one on order it should get here just after Christmas
Just wondering how is it holding up
Thanks David ☺️🇭🇲👍

Mine was delivered today!!! I haven’t had a chance to open it yet!!!
Go do it! You won't regret it.

@@vacantjosh Enjoy!
I just bought mine! I might drive up and pick it up tomorrow!
The blue headstock looks like a darker blue than the body. Is that true or is it just the video/lighting? Great review by the way!
Its the same blue. Must be my basic camera work. More vids of this guitar on the way. Maybe you’ll see it better.
Only seen Ryan Adams play one these uses it a lot
Thats one helluva guitar.
It sure is :-)

I sent mine back. The frets were uneven. It buzzed on cowboy chords. I really wanted it, but it's Chinese junk 😢😢😢😢

@ yeah. I’m gonna scuff up the neck on a guitar I bought as a collectible. Great idea.

Jealous. Mine says it wont come until February
That’s a long wait! I figured they’d sell fast.
@@ColinLPrice I bought it very early the morning it was announced. Each store must have gotten a very small initial allotment
Has it arrived? If you don’t mind me asking

7 minutes for you to strum the thing. Do better dude…
How about this?

@ LOL there you go!
I enjoyed your review. I just ordered mine! @ColinLPrice
Bungalows.
The juice ain't worth the squeeze! I would NEVER buy or play a Chinese made guitar...
I bet you have plenty of Chinese parts on all your guitars. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
