Fender FSR Standard Strat HH Metallic

[NinjaYoyos]

looks like my squier bullet HH

[JonathanMichaelSpain]

I play strats and prefer humbuckers for a fat warm jazz kind of tone ! Good review, I'm going to check these out and pick one up if so !

[piggiepapa]

i have this guitar and a love it! its my favorite guitar yet

[7211MChristopher]

same but i would love an american strat

[kerman]

I buyed this guitar because this fkin video!

[bluesplayinmanful]

@ Vaibanez ha!

[ericclapton00028]

stop playing E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[living666dead]

would you recommend this guitar or a Fendere Classic PLayer 50s?

[TheMetalHeaD256]

are you playing with a pick? sometimes it looks like you are, but then you just switch to your thumb. i'm confused... WHAT ARE YOU DOING? haha.

[trokeification]

@TheMetalHeaD256 He's putting his thumb and index finger in the shape you would as if he had a pick. I do that a lot if I don't have a pick in my pocket.

[Kreason95]

YOU HAVE TO PLAY WEEZER ON AN HH STRAT!

[dimefan1990]

I really wanted one of these, but couldnt find one anywhere. so i ended up ordering a blacktop strat with black paint and a maple fretboard for $399

[RockGuitarDave]

can anyone help me out, im looking for a hh strat with 22 frets (not blacktop)

[StesperGuitar]

How much is that guitar?

[orfmor]

WoW! What a tone O.O Can someone tell me how this guitar acts with ska played on it? :)

[vaibanez17]

@orfmor Like all other guitars act when you play ska on it; they want to commit suicide

[DriveIn84]

Ordered one of these... hurry up friday! Can't wait.

[Malikon1]

This guitar looks and sounds amazing!

And I can't find it on a single website.

[dsobey2]

@Porly62

Yeah, made in Mexico, but I love mine nonetheless: Sounds and plays perfectly fine to me. Switched the stock bridge humbucker for a JB and its perfect for what I do.

[chubbymosher700]

Hey, how does the switching on this model work?

[Oudl3000]

Why did fender stop building classic teles and strats everybody can afford ? All they build now is full of shit like, s-1 switches, scn soulless pickups, 6 saddle bridges on teles(!!!) ugly finishes, thin and bright coloured necks, they even ruined the tremolo ... "Relic" guitars - why the fuck would i pay someones ass to fuck up my guitar. I mean if you´re a complete idiot with too much money - ok. But is it possible to get an QUALITY old spect Fender for A FAIR price ? I don´t think so...

[TheGabalicious3]

@Oudl3000 Thats not true in the least bit. According to the 1968 fender catalog the strat costed roughly 320 bucks, $314.50 if you want exact. Using a couple inflation calculators i get roughly $2,000 bucks per guitar. Which isn't that far of by todays standards. a 1960s catalog has a strat in it for $289.50 with todays inflation you get a value of around $1,800. Which again is pretty much the same price you pay for a quality strat today.

[olegator5]

@Oudl3000 Wouldn't want to feed the troll, but this one is outrageous.

SCN and S-1 switching are both only in the deluxe sector, nowhere else. And SCN is already deprecated, only found on old guitars.

There are _lots_ of telecasters with brass 3-saddles. American Special, take a look.

Vintage tremolos are still available on pretty much everything.

And there are old-spec "vintage" series for an okay price. Just try to look.

[JosephGallagher]

What's that tune at 2:02?

[Butzopower]

It'd be so nice if Fender brought back their Heartfield line. I can only dream...

[jldkrank]

Kinda sick of sun burst.

[geudie]

what song does play Andy from 2:01?? improv

[ScottFairley]

Goodness, what a gorgeous finish on that

[Duif2]

That last song/riff was insane :D

[Paweljarski]

This guitar in exactly the same finish and hardware, but as an SSS or HSS option, now I would salivate over that. Since my other two guitars already have humbuckers, I don't know if buying another one, a Fender at that, would be justifiable.

[samanosukkia]

Yay T.Rex! :D

[Paweljarski]

So Andy, would you care to explain how you managed that pinched harmonic with your THUMB?

[DavidRayT]

@Paweljarski I can do them, it's not too hard. Idk how to explain it, but I can try.

Instead of using the the side of your thumb towards the tip, use the area right behind your nail. You really just have to find what works for you.

[Paweljarski]

@DavidRayT I tend to tuck my pick under my finger when I'm not using it and take it out when necessary - I play with both picks and fingers - but thanks for the advice, I'll be giving it a go :)

[stratocatblue]

Bought it! All based on this vid and the humbucker/ 5- way switch option. Oh and the black on black pickguard looks badass on that sunburst finish! Can't wait, thanks.

[playapwns]

What's the fretboard radius?

[TheBigMclargehuge]

You make me feel slightly inferior for using a pick.

[shango02005]

That finish is sweet! I hope they keep it around after the special run is over...

[silvakevin1]

Andy has the coolest job in the world!!!

[mongoose979]

andrew: if i walked from Orlando to Portland, practicing the whole way, would i be as good as you ?

[joty676]

how does the split of rhe coils work

[ChablesMan]

I could never own a guitar with that beautiful of a finish. I'd be too afraid to touch it.

[suihkubad]

Rather buy an lespaul and a strat

[straycatsean]

>Play Video

>Hear T. Rex

Instant win.

[Goth3m3]

Your hair looks good messy like that.

[omfg51]

oh my god i love thos coil split tones!!!!

[BEFEGE]

Hey PGS,maybe you guys could tour of your showroom on youtube ! i can't visit the place coz i lived far away :(

[vileguile4]

So good, so good!

[ElGbayRGX]

lovely !

[ElGbayRGX]

I love all about fender intruments !

[14houghton91]

sounds really good to my ears, a lot better than the blacktops

[robibm2003]

Tremendous demo, Andy. I think you guys are going to sell a few of these.

[ThieleM]

nice guitar

[minesdecarli]

What gear did he use?

[SterilizeThePopulace]

@minesdecarli The video says what gear he used, silly.

[cowboytonydee]

I just shat my pants.

[tylerdwells]

Loved the tone at the end.

[MrNonoz]

You won't fool the children of the revolution, Andy

[metalvocalistwanted]

\\m// (^_^) \\m//

[15000volts]

love the tones you got out of that thing, Andy

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

I think andy should've shouted "YEAH!!!" at the opening of the first song:D

[GuitarBlues3]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 That's Phil X's job.

[orkuncolakk]

for 500 bucks it seems a good deal to me. Nice color too.

[seckin12]

I really wonder if someone can distinguish this guitar with one of PGS's five thousand dollar guitars just by listening. Credit to Andy.

[Porly62]

Is it made in mexico? Coil splitting, kickass finish and cheaper than the blacktop? What's the catch?

[JJgeetarisst]

@Porly62 pretty sure the blacktop's 50 bucks cheaper

[philmcflurry]

I know it's not fair to all the great bands and players that use them, but Strats with humbuckers just remind me of the awful metal bands in high school.

[ArielsSmartyPants]

It's a nice guitar, and another fine job by Andy, but isn't this a blacktop strat all the same?

[Porly62]

Ok..im confused...whats the difference between this and the blacktop series?

[PantomimeHorseMusic]

@Porly62 From what I see, the blacktop has 22 frets, a rosewood fingerboard, different pickups, and amp knobs. I like the Blacktop better, especially in all black.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@Porly62 - The FSR Limited Editions are short runs, only available in limited quantities, and often come in non-standard finishes like this Strat's Metallic 3-Tone Sunburst. The Blacktop Series are standard production models with standard finishes, and they have different pickups and knobs than this FSR Strat. Please reference our website for complete specs on both instruments. Thanks for watching!

-PGS Crew

[DuncanSlack]

@Porly62 The blacktops pickups suck.

[bigmike00831]

wat was the song in the beginning

[Itsooz]

@bigmike00831 Children of the revolution

[LeeChavezMusic]

I don't know why, but I don't like black pick guards on strats.

[xdivinebladex]

I still wish that Fender would come out with a production HSH model

[dirtyolbum96]

@xdivinebladex the dave murray signature modal is an HSH

[IllusionaryMind8]

@xdivinebladex There's the Dave Murray signature model, but with a 3 way swtich.

[TheWarfen]

@xdivinebladex The Dave Murray signature!

[malaczonzdzicha]

@xdivinebladex :

fender dave murray strat

fender billy corgan stratocaster

please... use google sometimes ^^

[McFro95]

Another perfect review by PGS :D

[kyzrvlhlm1995]

Variety thy name is Andy!!!!!!

[SlackBabbathTs]

t rex? very nice

[Creamcake24]

epic.

[cjdavda]

I don't much care for Strats with humbugglies (Even the HSS Strats). I'd rather keep the single coil sexiness

[MetalzShredah550]

@cjdavda Keep the hum too, guy.

[kw1ksh0t]

@cjdavda Noiseless single coils would probably be my best pick

[morganchavis]

@cjdavda I very much agree but because I love the feel of a Strat, I would like to have at least 1 with humbuckers but probably an HSH configuration because Strat's mid pickup position is probably my favorite.
