Great video thanks. Try to imagine back in 57 the strings on this guitar were probably heavier gauge flat wounds with a wound G string. And the smaller vintage frets. Which would make the feel of a Strat much different than what we are used to today.
Great video guys and congratulations on getting ahold of this guitar. At this point it’s not about the price but preserving history. Guitar would’ve definitely sold for well within the 6 figure mark
I have a Peavey Falcon strat that may have been modeled after this guitar, it has the smoothest neck Ive encountered even when compared with guitars priced in the thousands of dollars. This is an amazing story and an amazing guitar! Thanks for sharing and for bringing this storey to us! EDIT: My Peavey is made in USA and is 20-30 years old, obviously not anywhere as nostalgic as this fender masterpiece!
Thanks you for watching. Incredible guitar. Yes, we will make a video about Fender Jazzmaster’s in the future. The guitar you refers to is our 1958 Fender Jazzmaster - Blond with Gold Anodized ( not for sale ) 💥🎸
Saw this in your Copenhagen yesterday. What an amazing shop. The highlight of my two day visit from England. Sadly no Custom Shop lefties…😳. But I guess that helped my bank balance 🤪🎸🎸🎸
Pee wee crayton is widely considered the first blues artist to use a fender stratocaster. He also played a 1950s strat, possible 54 that Leo gave him. same custom color without the gold anodized pick guard. Check him out
I may be fuzzy on the details, but I believe there is a guitar custom-made for Roy by Leo Fender made of wood grown with green ink to enhance the grain. I don't think I ever saw it, but knew of its existence. For whatever reason (kids!) his daughter Debbie painted it black. So - there may be a very special black guitar with hidden beauty beneath. Roy used to say when he was born his folks were so poor that "my mother had to go next door to have me."
OK; I checked with the wife. Debbie painted a rare teal Strat black, not the dye-injected-wood guitar I mentioned. That one was a hollow-body, not a Strat.
We have made a setup to 0.10 - 46 gauge. Back in the days it originally came with flat-wounds. But we have to remember, that was a different time with a different style of playing . Thanks for watching
Interesting video and a lovely looking guitar. I'm guessing the pickups are not original - there is no mention of the pickups in the video, and the pots ?
Thanks for watching. When we say all original in the video, we mean everything. Otherwise we can’t say all original :-) So yes, the pickups,wiring,soldering and pots are factory stock. Everything is 100% original. You can also see the whole description on our website. Thanks Peter
I don't get it. You say that you had to have this guitar, and then you say it's for sale. Great story though and truly a unicorn of an instrument. Shame you didn't plug it in and give it a strum.
Thanks for watching! We are a Guitar Shop that buy and sell 😊 When I say I need this guitar, I of course mean I need to have it in our inventory like anything else we buy and sell 👍🏻. So there is no difference here, only that it’s one of the most incredible guitars we have ever had. Regarding sound. We believe that people are able to hear many great vintage guitars on RUclips but in this case it was more important for us to have focus on the guitar itself and the story. Have a great day Thanks Peter
Hi Vitotesta. John and me has been friends for a long time. We have the same passion. we love to hunt the best and most incredible guitars. So when I talked with John from True Vintage Guitar about this one, I simply need to have it. It's just more than a 57 Stratocaster. History and everything do this guitar so special and not to mention important for the Fender history. We simply need to have this guitar in our selection. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.
@@Guitarhunterdk Thank you for your reply. I think that it would be great if Fender came out with a Roy Lanham model. The neck sound's right up my alley. Never cared for the princess/player necks that seem to dictate so much of guitar models these days. There are so many 'signature' Strats which bare the name of significantly less talented players. Long live Roy!
Thanks for watching and your comment 🙏🏻 We believed that it was more important to talk about the guitar and history since there are many videos regarding people playing a 57 Strat 👍🏻
Thanks for watching 👍🏻😊 We say all original in the video, that means everything. Pickups / electronic / pots and wiring remain untouched and intact with no rewound pickups or touch soldering. 100% original. The whole description is on our website under sold vintage Fender guitars 👍🏻 Thanks
The picture on the record you refers to could be. But he was not seeing much with a Stratocaster after 58/59. So it’s tough to say. Thanks for watching
Roy was a great guitar player, very under rated. Very great.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🤩
The coolest Strat !!!!!!! Thanks for this !!!!!!
Thank you so much and thanks for watching
so cool
Great detective work, definitely a piece of history.
Thank you so much. Incredible guitar ❤️🎸

Thanks for watching. Yes, we know that guitar. The family has his red Strat at a museum today 👍🏻
@@Guitarhunterdk do you know what year his was?

@Guitarhunterdk Stupid answer. Play the thing or have someone play it if you can't. Disappointing video.
Bigger mystery…how is it that you came to purchase the guitar?

That will be fantastic for sure. I agree 👍🏻
You didn’t play it sorry but still nice to see the strat

@@Guitarhunterdktrue thanks once again lovely people 🫡
Wow ! So we’ve heard about all the cosmetic stuff
ad-nausea-um. That’s just great. Love it ta bits. What about the ELECTRONICS ? ! !

"so special" = Hella expensive.
P.S. It'd be nice to know a number $.... : )
His shirt is too unbuttoned for the late 50's more like 60"s.

Amazing guitar and story 😊but dreadfully boring commentary. 🤯🥱🥱
