Fender Classic Strat (with Texas Special Pickups)

[dutchjap62]

Very nice sound. One a side note, your living room looks very artsy.

[hendrixexperiencedig]

nice pickups, may I also ask which pedals are you using there?

[TheWebsterExperience]

@hendrixexperiencedig Okko Overdrive, Boss RC3 looper, and i don't know for the one in the middle

[hendrixexperiencedig]

@TheWebsterExperience

thanks, also do you know much about the rc3 looper, I mean could I be saving myself a fortune by just buying the dd-7, I think it had a loop option.

[TheWebsterExperience]

@hendrixexperiencedig The DD-7 can do 40 secs of loop, I don't really know the quality of it, but if you don't really need a looper this would be a good choice ;)

And I myself don't have any looper, but I think Greg has a RC3 or 2, but that's a Boos for sure. I've seen here and there that the "old" RC2 was better then RC3

[hendrixexperiencedig]

@TheWebsterExperience

I see thank you very much

Hi.. Nice playing,, im considering getting this strat.. is it the one with 7.25'' C-shape Neck??

Regards..

[Copitox]

hey, are you using noiseless pickups or some sort of noise reduction pedal? because i'm not hearing any hum. would you please tell me how you do it?

[mayerfan09]

thumbs up for the teddy bear!

[bialeo23]

Hi Greg! Great videos! I tried to see all your videos with strats. I have a question, I have the same guitar like you in this video, a classic serie strat 60's, I would like to upgrade my pickups, I'm looking for clean tones to play jazz, soul, funk and sometimes blues (eventually with overdrive) with 0.10 strings in my fender tube amp. In your opinion, which pickups sound better for clean tones: texas special or CS 69? Thanks!!

[douskara]

SRV crunch!!

[nathan2rock]

how much did you sell this one for, i have the same one with fender custom shop pickups

[stratsforever]

@nathan2rock the Texas special pickups are Custom Shop pickups bro

[jhonnyfifafreak11]

what is the differnec between this guitar and the american standard??

[withrowsp74]

@GregsGuitars - Just tremendous playing in all your videos. Good work!

[Geotubest]

Great phrasing. Love that jazzy element and syncopation. Sound, timbre, awesome.

[cuackguitars]

I want to buy some Pickups,

I am among Fender Vintage Noiseless and Texas Special Pickups you who have both types of Pickups which you like best and why?

[1273seant]

hi-can you tell me the diffrerence betwenn ordinary texas specials and custom shop ones as i have both to install in a guitar and do they sound different--thanks sean

[jcskater89]

why the headrush and loop station in the same chain?

[hungerstriker27]

lake placid blue right? I love fender blue colors.... like this one or daphne blue, or the sea foam green (Yeah, I know, that´s not blue what a cool color)

[Danthehorse]

I acutally think the classic series sound better than the Classic players... weird huh

[cheesewhistle666]

@Danthehorse

I agree. I've played both and definitely prefer the classic series. But now I think, even more with the texas special upgrade!

[steve1969pierce]

@Danthehorse me too,,,tried them both in teh shop loved the Classic didnt like the classic player! Have the classic now....and I am attached to it like a siamese twin!

[RcUniverseGuy]

why do mine buzz so bad? i replaced everything all new stew mac electronics and texas specials what diagram did you use for wiring them up if you did it yourself i used the diagram that came with the pups and it wasn't right at all only 2 positions on the selector switch were working with the provided diagram used the stew mac one but still doesnt seem right when its in the bridge position the bridge and the middle pickups are on

[HarryPotter3700]

@RcUniverseGuy The reason they buzz so bad is because you fucked up!

[RcUniverseGuy]

@HarryPotter3700 na mr harry potter i didn't fuck up there was to much electro magnetic interference in my jam room. moved to another room and problem was solved

[JesusWorship7]

Hey Gregs One question What single coil are better or best for that thru single coil sound between the Texas Special and the Suhr single coil????????

[brooklynstudio]

@JesusWorship7 if you buy a suhr keep the original pups, you get what you pay for

[featherston16]

are you influenced by steely dan at all?

[dzsuba1]

@GregsGuitars Thank you for the correction. Very impressive tone anyway. And brilliant playing. Thanks for posting your videos.

[1990samuxxx]

pickup position?

[PhantomCover]

Im getting new pickups for my fender. I am torn between the Texas Specials and the Seymour Duncan Antiquities. EVERYONE feel free to give your thoughts/ opinions. Greatly apprectiated!!!!

[bEfkake]

hey im planning on getting a guitar pretty soon. Do you like maple or rosewood fretboards?

[starassist1977]

looks like it's fretting out pretty easily. pass.

[davidtheguitarman]

sounds very gimourish

[4ltrv1sm0]

I got the classic 60 (without texas) and it's a nice build guitar (also) :) Very good playing!

[srvanddoubletrouble1]

i just got some texas specials installed on my strat! they sound great! : D

[WaltonWembleyMusic]

Is this a MIA or MIM?

[mariosyjp]

i think that's a classic series and not a classic player

[DonQuixotec]

You got any other guitars than Fender? Have you played Suhr guitars before? In that case, what do you think about them? And musicman? I'm sure you've tried those. Is fender your favorite brand? Sorry for so many questions haha!

[idog6204]

I got a used mexi strat and I've been trying to find what it is. This is it though... I didn't know they were texas special!! sweeeet!!

[Rhoadsy3pro]

do all stratocasters have flat fingerboards? becuase i noticed that les pauls have mroe of a camber on their fingerboards and that makes string bends and stuff easier

[GoldenUrethra]

@Rhoadsy3pro You have it backwards. The standard strat and teles both have a 9.5 inch fingerboard radius while Gibsons typically have the flatter 12 inch radius.

[DaveRingle]

Wheres the gain/drive at?

[Uz2Brockstar]

Classic series uses vintage style trem,Classic players uses two point CS trem...

[GAdoram]

Great!!

[shadowknight561]

texas special pickups....very cool........watch my new video.what do you mean?

[ant7629]

Nice playing. Didn't know they did the Classic Player in this colour. Thought it was just Sonic Blue and 3 Tone Sunburst....

[creeker90]

i guess it's a classic 60s strat, not a classic player..

[GregsGuitars]

yes - could be. I don't know much about mexicans

[sblopez08]

@ant7629 it's a Classic Series 60's Strat in Lake Placid Blue :)

[gavquinn]

@sblopez08 Lovely underrated Fender guitar, I have one, I think it's amazing, has a true vintage neck, with right radius, fret size, the lot.

[sblopez08]

@gavquinn yup same here i've got one in candy apple red, just finished putting brand new Lace Sensor pickups in it... man do i love this guitar can't pt it down!!

[grota66]

Very impressive tone and break-up.
