Fender Road Worn 60s Strat, Stock Pickups

[newfyviking]

love the tone!... I'm really thinking about buying this strat now... thanks for the demo!..

[who8allthepies]

if you dont want the 7.25 radius with the tex mexs, go for the roadword player strat, it has 9.5 radius and texas specials and in olympic white a 2 tone sunburst.

[StraitUpSuburbanite]

Love that tone! I have tex mex pickups in my neck and middle positions, but how do I get my tone as warm and bouncy as yours? What were your settings?

[smashproud]

after many years of swapping out pickups ultimately and thousands of dollars later I discovered .. that any normal pickup is fine.. its all in the fingers

[angrypecker]

come on guys...constructive critism.....uplift, not the tother....jam on brother!

[Commiteee]

What was that blues thing you? SRV?

[WarlikeSRK]

@Commiteee

The first licks he plays are John Mayer - Who did you think I Was

[victor1997ification]

I have thought of buying this guitar. But how does it feels to play compared to the US model?

[christofa96]

it is now reliced?is it?

[iancage65]

i get so tired of mean/impolite people constantly criticizing people who put themselves out there.

thanks for the video, dude. play on!

[ARightToCreate]

Loosen up a bit, mate! You're playing the blues. Keep practicing, man! You're on the right track though.

[kalilmv]

Is this a USA or Mexican FENDER ? (congratulations great tone!)

[liscio]

@kalilmv Road Worn strats are Mexican-made. Personally I feel it plays better than the US-made strat I sold a while ago to fund its purchase…

[sd28sachems]

Im happy that youre a John Mayer fan but practice a little more before you post a video. (Not trying to be mean)

[liscio]

@sd28sachems At what point does someone stop practicing before they post a video? If we never record ourselves, we'll never see our flaws and improve on them. I like looking back on these videos and seeing how far I've come…

[six6wings]

@sd28sachems Let's see your playing...

[theraditz]

Good demo but.. when the blues driver is on sounds like shit!! xD

[DJ0KNUF]

OMG SOME ONE? 2:50 that song?! please :D

[liscio]

@DJ0KNUF It's Good Love is On the Way by John Mayer. It's on the Trio album, and there's an acoustic version on the Village sessions EP.

[DJ0KNUF]

@liscio ahh i see! Thanks a lot!

How avout the guitar, i think of getting one to. Are you still satisfied with it?

[liscio]

@DJ0KNUF Yeah, it's great. I still play it quite often (though I keep it tuned to Eb, it's strung with 11s, and I have the Klein S-5 pickups in it.)

[DJ0KNUF]

@liscio Thanks! Does it stay in tune well? Klein S-5 kives it a nice jazz sound right?

[liscio]

@DJ0KNUF It does stay in tune quite well, yes. The S-5s give a good all around tone, I think. You could do equally well with a set of Texas Specials, or just leave it stock, though… This video shows the stock pickups.

[DJ0KNUF]

@liscio I like the original pickups to! I see you have (had) much fenders! Do you recomend this one (price/quality) for an average guitarist? No i have a fake fender strat witch doenst stay in tune quite well (sry for spamming)

[DJ0KNUF]

hi sounds cool, JM fan?

[MrGearguru]

I see we have ourselves a JM Fan!

[austntexan]

SRV is so difficult to get right, I've been playing Pride and Joy since college and I still can't get that shuffle down with his subtle hammer ons. After you hit that A, try straight to an Em, then quickly hammer the major down and you should get a little bit more shuffle feel. Youre apps are killer btw. Thank you.

[barekallmeg]

Ah dude, thanks for playing some john Mayer with this strat. I'm perhaps gonna buy this guitar soon, but i need to hear how it is on music like blues and John Mayer. So thanks for making it a lot easier for me ; ) What is you opinion of the guitar?

[clean3]

I'd know that look anywhere....nervously glancing up at the ceiling; will they bang or wont they?

[ArjanLoeve]

try to play a little softer, like not hit the strings so hard

[desr2395]

@ArjanLoeve dude i used to do this and one time at guitar cetner a guy told me not to and it sounds so much better! i only do it when i need to :P

[desr2395]

finally, another guy who aprecciates john mayer! i don't feel left out anymore!!!

[PortalRealm]

put your hat on mr. krueger

[BiavaStratTele]

Very, very, very, very good playing man!That strat (plus your hand of course) sounds awesome! How about some fuzz on? Sounds good?

[liscio]

@BiavaStratTele You're far too kind…

[Uz2Brockstar]

The Tex Mex's aren't half bad sounding for stock mexi pickups. A lot better than some american offerings they have used in the past. I own a bunch of strats, some vintage, and I like my road worn as much as some of them. 7-8 years ago you would have paid major bucks for the Nitro finish, relicing, ( really good on the sunburst and white) and light weight. A great little guitar IMO.

[TheAKprogram]

What was the song at like 2:40

[liscio]

@TheAKprogram It's Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer. Look for 'Slow Dancing Two Rock' to watch the video of this solo being played _properly_… ;)

[premiertl6]

cool video. killer riff at the begging... where can i find tabs? :)

[liscio]

@premiertl6 It's Who Did You Think I Was, by John Mayer. Track 1 on the Try! album by the John Mayer Trio. Surely you'll find hundreds of examples…

[jsw1250]

Those S-5 pickups are gonna sound real nice with the setup you have. Do you plan to install a tone capacitor in there too?

[DKoor]

nice... :-)
