As I've gotten older, cheaper guitars have gotten better. A lot better. So much so that Fender and Gibson can't really sell me anything anymore. At my age and income level, it gets hard to justify even GOOD guitar purchases, and I'm at the point now where I must consider storage space among all the other things. I've also learned much about setups and the like, and I save money by doing my own. It makes more sense for me to buy a cheaper guitar and rework it until it's what I want. After all, aren't ALL bolt-on guitars "partscasters?"
Couldn’t agree more,
I’ve wound up selling both of my American made Fenders ( One Strat, and one Tele ), I have four or five now which I’ve painted and also hand wired the electronics I purchased the necks and bodies all via Warmoth. If you’re handy, imo it’s totally the way to go for any ‘bolt~on’, and your right, to put it mildly…. They’re all basically parts~casters.
Depending on the wood, grain and other options you can do a build for as low as 5-600 and you can go way higher of course, although it’s always going to be custom to what you want. With stainless steel frets added these guitars will outlive us takin care of properly too.
For me, unless it’s some sort of deal I can’t turn down obviously I don’t see myself ever buying another actual Fender again or any other major brand which builds bolt on necks 🤙
Well..in most cases the necks are from different pieces of wood.. so except for some rare one pice guitra they all are "partspaulas/partscasters".. whether the neck is bolted on or glued in..
Take care of them fret sprouts.
The Custom Shop is just awesome. Beautiful guitar.
That was the most honest review ever.
The custom shop sounds great. Love the neck on it as well.
If I had to sell one of them, I would have one of them left
@@landonbaileyWoah. That's crazy
But what if you sold both?
Just got the made in japan 1980 international Stratocaster in monoco Yellow Reissue. It has all the vibes of the originals but with really tight specs. Small frets but a 9.5 radius sure a nice feel, and the U shape is very good. I wanted a 1973 Stratocaster but way budget. Great video it just goes to show all Stratocasters are different, and all are very cool 😎.
Very cool!
In 1982, I bought a 1979 Strat, identical hardware to Landon's, but the body was painted black, and it weighed a ton. I gigged with it for over twenty years, before buying a Telecaster that supplanted it. I shielded the body with aluminium foil, and I wish I'd wired the bridge pickup to a tone pot (my Squier CV 50s has this, and the bridge pickup is actually usable). Other points to note are that the out-of-phase sound was really pronounced, which isn't always the case, and the notion that the quality of '70s Fenders was poor is nonsense; a myth started back then to keep the value of older guitars high.
My '79 Ash Strat has a thin V full maple neck, 41mm nut width. It feels a little cramped when playing cowboy chords.
Like I once said before in one of your videos, I envy you for having a birth year guitar. Me as well, still looking for 79 Strat, because I'm a huge fan of 70's large head and triangle neck plate strats. My goal is Natural finish with maple boards. I prefer light weight, less worn, PUs should have a all original grey bobbin and original hardshell cases - prefer ABS molded ones to tolex cases.
And most of all, the reason why I try to buy it is 'birth year guitar' so exact product year must be1979. There are many 79 strats in the world right now but some of them like 78 PU assembly or 1980 body etc.
I've been looking for here and there for months but it's so hard.
One day my thing would come up out of somewhere. I really hope.
Looked up the GT11. I haven’t spent that much on a guitar. My CS heavy relic 52 Tele had a higher list price, but I bought it used for a discount. It was still less than two months after it was made-there were older CS Teles on the wall that still had the new premium price and didn’t have the expensive relic work I would have had to pay more for. As for how much I would pay for a Strat…I think I’d rather just buy another SG. I only have six of those.
Love the ash body of the 1979 (my buddy has his Dad's 70s ash Strat) but love the neck/fretboard and tones of the 'Goes To 11'. I can only afford a Player series budget but the Player pickups are kind of lame and need upgrading. Even after a bridge pup mod I gave up on my Lead II and bought one of the new PRS SE Swamp Ash Special HSH on the factory sale (till December) because the SE SAS sounds more Fender than my Fender.
Squier Bad Vibe line... that needs to be a thing bro! Or at least a t-shirt!!! 🤣👍
Oh, that Bright Sapphire Metallic GT-11 is gorgeous, but holy friggin’ moly. $4325.00? Yikes! I paid $800.00 for my Schecter Nick Johnston HSS “Strat”, and it’s spectacular. I’d love a Fender, but I don’t think I’d pay more than the $800.00, and frankly there ain’t no way Fender can match all the features and quality for the Schecter’s price. Roasted maple neck (silky-smooth satin finish), ebony fretboard with 14” radius, extra-jumbo frets, Graph Tech nut, locking tuners, killer pickups (HSS), beeeuutiful Strat tones, flawless 2-point trem and finish, and 8 lbs soaking wet (I hope it’s waterproof, gulp). Pretty, pretty hard to beat that.
I wanted a birth year guitar, preferably a Tele, but man ! '71 prices and colours are frightening. I was born in the year of "poopy " brown - guess it saves me some dollars :)
Have you checked out Groove Guitars? They’re in Canada.
What can I say about it? Beautiful guitars!
I’m on the hunt for my own 1979 Strat. I too am of the same fine vintage. I want original, light weight and fairly priced. So far I’ve been SOL
Good luck, all the shylocks want 60's premiums on these 70's trash heaps
The blue one, the colour blue you away?
🤦♂️
Strats are so lame. I should know, I have like 9 of them.
Agreed. Strats suck and I only have four of them.
Ant man, I love guitar but it seems I'm a stratocaster man through and through. I can't afford one yet so I work on them for now. I make Squier look and feel like fender. Vintage is fun. 80s gor me. I'm in Cali, sadly no more low dollar ones here, a whole shift shut down. Tell us what are your thoughts?
I want to know more about Ant man!
@@landonbailey Lol, your character I most relate you to him. He's got the same type of personality as you essentially and you look a bit like him. Even ypur voice is like his.
If they could get the price down as cheap as a squire I'd buy one..
Fretboard oil, get some. I hate to hear the neck is drying out. I’d probably spend 1500 on a limited edition or dual humbucker strat.
Although that lick sounds delightful at 8:30, I think I know another guitar it would sound slightly better on.
You talk a lot of nonsense, but it all makes sense if you know what I mean. I really like your videos. Keep up the good work 😅
You should hand chisel out for humbuckers on the GT 11. Then, when you're ready to sell, cram some wood back in the holes, repaint it, and sell it as an all original refin.😆😅😅.
Good idea!
You're no chiseler!@@landonbailey
A Strat is a Strat is a Strat. Only real difference between any of em is the neck and electronics.
@@jcedrez It actually sounds like we agree on more than not. It’s all about the neck for me, and if it sounds decent I’ll make it work.
I somewhat absolutely disagree! I once spent two hours in a L&M in front of a Fender Bassman pulling down the cheapest Squiers to the most expensive Fender teles and strats. With equivalent single coil pickups... A tele sounded like a tele. A strat sounded like a strat. Neck differences? Yes, that is a thing. Electronics? Yes, between the taper and feel of the pots, and the feel of the switches. As well... Overall playability and fit and finish. That's the practical difference as to price. With a bit of work, a cheaper instrument can rival a more expensive one. It's a case of diminishing returns. Spend less than premium, do a bit of work, and you've got a wonderful instrument. But, if you want a top-shelf instrument out of the box... $$$. No judgement. Durability is another issue entirely.
I agree, I'm a Tele type and I live in a music centric city so I've got to try out some very expensive Tele's, but whenever I'm trying out an amp or pedal at my local shop I pick up a 40th anniversary Squier Tele. If I didn't already have a Mexican tele that I put a bunch of work into making it mine, I'd be more than satisfied with the Squier.
@@kanahmal I love Tele’s. I’ve played probably over a hundred over the years and I settled on my sparkle red Squier Bullet. Gonna throw a maple neck on there and call it a day!
@@TylerJohnstonGuitar that's my exact plan for my Player Tele. Can't justify it till I've worn out my perfectly acceptable stock neck unfortunately, but as soon as it looks like refret time those frets are coming on a baked stick.
"Non-sequiturs are my specialty..."
I like motorcycles and cheese.
I'd spend a couple grand on s Strat. 1) Because they're my favorite, and that's what I play 2) You could get one of the best ever made, and you wouldn't have to mortgage your house, like with another brand, where they can't justify charging $10,000 or more for one. Especially charging insane prices for signature models! A Fender signature is at most $6,000.
LOVE your vids, but dude, this one is awfully light on substance.
What was missing?
@@landonbailey a little discussion of the tones of the respective strats; sound quality is limited on a video so I think your evaluation of the tonal differences would be helpful. Also, a bit more spec comparison of the necks. I’m only ‘complaining’ in the context of your videos being really great. A lot of us have gotten a lot from your videos. (And your sense of humor is delightful).
ITS ALL A PERSONAL PREFERENCE. PEOPLE PUT DOWN 70S GUITARS, BUT A 2 SCREW AND 1 BOLT IIS JUST AS STRONG AS A 4 SCREW STRAT. ITS ALL IN PEOPLES HEADS. GOTTA LOVE ALL THE FENDERS.
Yawn....
Bedtime!
