Fender Stratocaster 50th Anniversary Materbuilt Custom Shop

[LordAzai]

@mojoefly hi, what I mean the amp distorts to give a rhythm crunch tone quicker, because the pickups are higher output. It's that sort of blues overdrive sound you hear.

[s1914]

Really nice playing - I like it a lot!

[jiangson]

could some on please tell me what the first song is??? i know it's John Mayer but don't know which one.

[jrzdrum77]

@jiangson It's Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughan

[JgHaverty]

@jiangson fail.... 

[lzeppelin234]

theyre cs 54 pups

[92skunx]

Is this with the SCN pickups in?

[kaphillum]

this is a really cristal clear sound...sounds just lika a original.

Are these pickups inside of it cs 54´s or fat 50´s ?

[LordAzai]

I have the 50th anniversary deluxe strat, non - masterbuilt; it's got great build quality and ingot it second hand for £900. I swapped the pickups out for bare knuckle slowhands and it has the most beautiful sound I've ever heard from a strat, slightly darker and breaks up just a little quicker. The only problem is the sustain is terrible without it being hard tailed.

[mojoefly]

@LordAzai hi, what do you mean breaks up earlier?

[downwithpants1]

hey mate i like your shit, who built this bad boy?

[PopExpo]

the 2004 custom shop 1954 strats were pretty much dead on. they even had the " pat. pend" stamped on the saddles.

[back2backband1]

what amp? great tone

[TheRealRayJ]

I would sell one of my nuts for this guitar. IMO the best ever made. I wonder if the non-masterbuilt versions are as good (the ones with the 'xxxx of 1954' on the back of the headstock)?

[gonmoya]

do you know the price of this guitars? i saw a 50th aniversary at guitarcenter and the price is 1200$, could be the same? thanks

[dywlrud]

@gonmoya nope. this one's custom shop masterbuilt! I saw one in ebay and the seller asked for about 6k .. Same thing happened on other sites too.

[SuperLennert]

Very nice playing..

[ltfendergibson]

hey what kind of music do you play? how did you learn

[manuelonice]

Lovedd it !! how much did it cost ?

[guitarmikkel]

If you'd like the overdrive from the amp, could you maybe tell which pedal it compares to (the most)? Thanks.

Superb clean tone by the way. But I would say that a lot is coming from you!

[sepulchre10]

Gorgeous tone! Nice playing too. I want one of those. :^)

[dmarkj22]

Sounds like John Mayer

[daikkoo]

daamn.. best guitar playin on youtube ive seen.. you got the sounds rite and everything as it should be.. except that your not on the stage rockin out to tons of people!

[ibyterawr]

amp settings?

[customidis]

EXCEPT OF THE AMP WHAT PEDALS DO YOU USE TO GET THIS DREAMMY CLEAN?

[diaboles]

@customidis next time read the description scrub

Amp is Marshall JTM45 Ri + 1960AHW cab.

Pedal used are: Maxon OD9, Zvex BOR, Fulltone OCD, TC Vintage Delay.

[dbf678]

Heei! What's the name of the song in 4:30? Are you improvising? Cheers, incredible guitar!

[mike29983]

@dbf678  Clapton`s Layla, the ending part.

[Hqwat]

Wow, man! You can play! Beautiful guitar, too. How long have you been playing?

[Hqwat]

Wow, man! You can play! Beautiful guitar, too. How long have you been playing?

[dominikscheid]

is this the fullerton model from 2007?

[katarzis27]

@dominikscheid no, its the 1954 anniversary from 2004.

[phyros29]

@katarzis27 6:40 the perfect strat tone straight from stevie's cloud! awesome

[Giuseppetiberi]

oh my god!!!

[tellycastin]

Great playing, great guitar.

[MrSearchDestroy]

Man,you are perfect! Respect!!!

[Szacsa74]

Great sound! What is the song you're playing from 4:31? It sounds familiar...but I cannot find out.

Greetings from Hungary!

[tabulaerasae82]

@Szacsa74 lol i asked same question , (look down) its layla outro by clapton. :)

[Szacsa74]

@tabulaerasae82 haha, great, thanks! I knew I know this song!

[zvegasz]

pseudo hendrix :p

[chinamanblues]

very nice tone,and that's good job

[clondan1]

most lower end strats like mexican and american standards go outta tune when u whammy....is the masterbuilt diff and stay in tune? or is a floyd rose still the only guaranteed method to stay in tune (excluding PRS)

[GuitarThrill]

@clondan1 even a squier doesn't go out of tune, if you know how to set it up properly.....even if you have cheap nut, and tuners, it could stay in tune for a long time....there are some great vids on youtube about how to set up a strat, so that it doesnt go out of tune

[MrAssbaron]

Velvety smooth. Love both your playing and tone. Very nice interpretation

[frusciantestrat99]

Great playing and tone! I'd like to have your opinion about JTM45 head and 1960AHW vs Bluesbreaker combo. Can I achieve similar tones with Bluesbreaker? Thanks!

[orbitration]

sweet

[Italicorum3500]

Sounds really fantastic...what pickups are on it?

[jadenichikawa]

what's the song at the end? i forgot :(

[strat1969usa]

nice tone!!

[jjkrause84]

Thanks for the video of those beautiful Marshall cleans. So hard to find as most people can barely resist the temptation to crank it up. ;)

[shaym1977]

wonderfull tone and sound demo !!!!! good player!

is this amp heavy ffor taking out for giging??

did you get it from HALILIT in israel? \

i'm interested in this amp too , how much is it with the cabinet and what type of cabinet exactlly is it?

[pablo9588]

sweet sound! I almost cry! great man!

[AndiiTheStratophonic]

which pickups are on this strat?

[csjackson97]

fantastic dude, why haven't i heard of you? Awesome job great tone!

[rocoloco95]

great guitar and great playing!!! you're awesome :P

[mvr6t]

amazing all the way around, tone, playing, soul, awesome job!!

[EVTMods]

@ 4: 32 it sounds so fucking sweet. Great tone. Does your amp still have the bright cap for channel one?

[joesl8]

Great playing and tone! Can you tell us more about the guitar, pickups in it and any comparisons to other strat or strat copies? I'm looking at one of the Custom Shop strats but threw around the idea of getting a G&L Legacy? This guitar sounds very versatile, glassy in a good way. I even considered a Gilmour Strat but I hate being a poser, even though I love the look of that strat!

[94tib08]

just wonderful

[12345678ix]

Man you play awsome and beatiful clear sounding

[Speackoolm]

is everything we love, great!!!

[davidlee1963]

Very Slick

[videotaker4356]

You're my kind of guitar player ! Your Fender Stratocaster sound very good with the Marshall amp. If I'm not wrong ??? I think it was the kind of amp that Jimmi Hendrix was using, a Super 100JH.

Let the good music comes and I will be there to listen to you. I subscribe to your channel my friend. Oh by the way I gave you your 93th 5 stars on this vid. And I'm going to look at the other one on your channel for sure.

[25jonathan]

the beauty of a fender guitar!

[noahsoapy1234]

the tone is heavenly

[tocmen]

excellent guitar sound!!!

[GibsonSGlenn]

lonestar strat?

[GibsonSGlenn]

wow nice sound!

[mdb543]

Awsome video. I am curious why you switched from Orange to Marshall RI amps? The Orange amps also sounded great. I assume you are playing the Marshall clean with dirt added from the pedals. Anyway, it sounds fantastic.

I have considered a Dr. Z route 66, which is their verson of the the JTM 45. I think a used JTM45 RI can be purchased cheaper than a Dr. Z however.

Thanks, and keep adding additional youtube videos. Your tone is best!!!!

[sscingi]

too bad, there's no effects loop on JTM 45, you're using it clean.(delay, ocd etc, plugged in straight) Great guitar btw.

[watcher33]

Nice playing! And one of the very best guitar tones I've heard on YouTube.

[Pupiram]

Nice!. What is the name of the song at the beggining? It sounds Hendrixy...

[coughlintm]

lenny.SRV

[andreamarvins]

ash or alder?

[katarzis27]

Ash.

[inchskater]

i want your skills, i guess i could even make my samick telecaster copy sound nearly as good...

still that is a damn nice guitar !

[Wiggzzzz]

utterly gorgeous

[BeatleUniversity]

This is sweet. I have the same guitar. You have inspired me to play it with love.

[loyboy1979]

Thats why Fender is the best no more words said.beautiful.

[acecomet]

love this sound!

i believe you when you say it's the best strat you tried.cause in every one of these masterpiece guitar their a soul and it's one of the rare guitar that inspire you that much when you play on it,feel so good

strat forever!! ;)

fender strat rocks ;)

[sirena3morena]

you are the best brother! Greeting from Canada and Mexico! I love your playing so much! Keep rocking! Make a CD!

[yamitanomura]

fantastic tone and playing.

Keep on rocking !

[Dayyyv]

I hope you play in a band man, you have a great feel for the instrument.

[VelhosNovos]

behind you, is it a Marshall 18 watt?

what could you tell me about it?

[katarzis27]

Its 1974CX cab.

[VelhosNovos]

@katarzis27 do you use too the JTM45 with this cab?

[VelhosNovos]

@katarzis27 Hi man! JTM45 doent loop so you run your delay in front of amp... what do you think of that?

[guitarguy97]

Absolutely breathtaking tone!!!!!!!! A timely reminder of what a Stratocaster should sound like. Fantastic playing as well!! NAILED THE BECK TONE!!!!! AMAZING!!!!  Nice to see a player who truly deserves that caliper of instrument.

[indietro1959]

i have the light blue version it's an awesomeguitar

[katarzis27]

There is no other color but 2 tone sunburst to this model.

[tabulaerasae82]

@katarzis27 thats right only burst on these. I just bought the 50th american series version to got with my 50th deluxe. Would love to own a custom shop like yours but way to expensive. Glad fender used same pickups in both though :)

Also from 4.28 what song you playing , i know it just cant think?? sounds amazing!!

You play guitar beautifully!!!

[katarzis27]

@tabulaerasae82 thanks. Its the ending of Layla by Clapton.

[tabulaerasae82]

@katarzis27 lol how stupid i feel now ;)

[Clyde67]

Sweet! Nice paying.

[thepman28]

Incredible playing! You make me regret selling the JTM45 I had, strat sounds incredible through it!!!

[gigspy]

Lovely tones and great playing, you have an excellent sense of timing and phrasing

[mathivi]

Great playing with that clean sound... good guitars have to be well played. I see a lot of videos from people who spend money on guitars they cant master. but you definatly dont fit in that category.

if you like the OD9's crunch you should try damage control's womanizer. Gives a better range of tones, looks like shit though.

[katarzis27]

I'd buy the timeline too if they were'nt so damn big n ugly.

[christhpher6383]

hi what pickups are in it thanks you sound great

[christhpher6383]

hi when you get the time i would really like to know what pickups you are using i want to put them in my 54 strat thanks chris

[jeremyjew]

they are special made '54 pick ups wound by abigail ybarra herself. special pick-ups indeed..

[Fr3etd4nc3r]

I simply love your sound...your playing is amazing....man, do you have a band? I would want to check it out

Addie

[Mikenog]

Ohhh nice.

Great clean... :)

[sr1129]

it maybe the best strat u ever tried but through a JTM 45, marshall cab and a slew of fine pedals i think many strats would sound good

[makavelilivesonwalla]

which songs did you play?

[66jtm45]

great playing & tones. the cleans were glorious.

[green95gt]

it's nice to hear people play that have their own individual style...even when playing other peoples tunes. sounds good man.

[MetalicBluz]

איזה שיר אתה מנגן בתחילת הסרטון?

[katarzis27]

תודה!

[Commodorian]

Cool. I have a Todd Krause MB 54, great guitars aren't they ? It sounds like you're getting some out of phase tones. Did you wire up the 5 way or are you balancing the switch ? Cheers.

[katarzis27]

The 5 way is installed.

[backtothetone]

It's the Custom '54 Strat® Pickups on it ?

[katarzis27]

No, its different pickups.

[rocknroll1012010]

Is the form-fit case tweed or black. Ive been seeing black

[steven21042]

Y not post a clip with the Bluesbreaker? Nice playing & Tone..I especially liked your BAND vid (@ the Bereshit fest).

[stratbreizh29]

Nice tone!!!

Great stuff and feeling!

[flipper2gv]

nicest strat sound I've ever heard.

[azastrat03]

[katarzis27]

3,500$.

[jaminaifarkas]

That's The Sound! Great!

[Breadstick1234]

mad skills + mad guitar squared by mad amp = sweet vid

[YoungBlueProductions]

Fantastic demo of a fantastic amp! I have bought mine 4 weeks ago and the sound is awesome. Couple it with a Fulltone OCD and you reach tone heaven. Thanks for the inspiration. Gonna put up a vid of my Marshall JTM45, too within the next days.

[Piledriver7]

wow...

[MetalicBluz]

[MaddMan95]

Gtreat playing man.

You get a great clean from that Marshall!

How much clean headroom does that baby have?

[JessieBolt]

Incredible Tone. Very nice playing.

[adansr79]

Hi, greetings from mexico, I´ve been watching your videos and love your playing and you have a wonderful sound too

A question for you, I´m thinking on buying a Malsteen Strat with Rosewood fretboard and I saw you have one, can you give me your opinion in terms of playability (especially the neck feel, I have small hands, I bought a Eric Johnson and sell it because the neck was very fat for my hands), sound (vibration, tone and pickups) and craftsmanship?

Thanks

[katarzis27]

Hi, try a 62 America Reissue, or if you have more money try the 1960 custom shop.

[ISOWHAT2]

the jtm45 sounds great man!

thinkin of getting one myself , is u'res modded ?

[katarzis27]

Thanks, its all stock.

[danechka06]

no solo es la guitarra...el amplificador tiene mucho que ver en el sonido de una lira !

[katarzis27]

I just wanted to say to you all THANK YOU for your kind comments!

It's inspiring me to get better and better in time, in my playing and in my sound.

Thanks!

[MrSargenti]

I didn't know Mater built guitars? I thought he was just a tow truck from Radiator Springs.

beautiful sound... I just love Maple. Just makes you wanna play some Jimi.

[JackFieldBand]

אחי אתה גדול

[garciaman55]

Hi, greetings from Brazil...Nice playing and tone!!!
