Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Bengal Stratocaster / Farm TV Reviews / themusicfarm.com

*Watch in HD* For more Fender Custom Shop Guitars and tons of other great products and reviews check out http://www.themusicfarm.com

The Custom Shops newest Master Builder is Jason Smith, a 13-year Fender veteran and son of longtime Fender R&D legend Dan Smith. As such, he grew up on Fender—Its always been in my family, he said, And I was always extremely interested in everything my father did.

Born in Rochester, N.Y., and raised in California, Smith remembers meeting guitar deities from about age five on through his fathers work with Fender—Eric Clapton, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jeff Beck and Robben Ford, to name only a few. He went to his first big rock concert at age six—Rush—and Smith remembers going backstage with his dad and meeting Geddy Lee after the show. Before he was even in his teens, Smith was going to see Pink Floyd, ZZ Top and many other major artists.

Is that guitar plugged into a tube screamer?

By the way: love that sound, love that look, and the guy in your videos plays really amazing!

[TheMusicFarm]

@CamilleJacob No. The guitar is plugged directly in to a Fender Supersonic amp. Thanks!

[Italicorum3500]

This is one on the most amazing and beautiful Strat I have ever seen. What price range I have to think about here if I want to get one of those?

[TheMusicFarm]

@Italicorum3500 Well this is a one of kind. The sale price on this masterbuilt strat is right around $6700. Thanks!

I've built guitars for just over 25 years, I have a Mexican strat which is stunning - the right wood, it resonates right. Err, thats it - I can change the pickups and I've saved £2,000 on a CS.

I have played a number of CS strats, all good, all very overpriced. Its a shame, I love fender to bits but...

[chessdude67]

Beautiful and sounds great! 5/5 

peace.

[PwnYouAtSoccer]

why display huge Marshalls everywhere if you're gonna plug into a Fender? lol

[isayah85]

@3Deity - I didn't say that. But hey! I am happy for you if you are glad for you mexican strat!

[3Deity]

@isayah85 Resale - so you're not serious about playing then?

[isayah85]

@3Deity - I guess that a Mexicans resale value is not as good as an Custom Fender..

[Edjan031]

I'm ussualy not into strats, but this one is flawless!

@1971SuperLead I met a guy once wo had spend nearly a grand on a Malmsteen model. "Wow, whats it like?" It turned out he doesn't play but kept it in its case and about once a year opened it to look at it. (que Nigel Tufnel jokes here!) and he had it as an investment - Huh?!? Then I meet a guy who has the worst acoustic in the world and who plays like an angel.

[1971SuperLead]

@3Deity Hey, some people need an expensive guitar for confidence, and some can just afford these beauties and so why not buy one, but I agree with you that excellent sounding guitars come in at every price range.

[JYZProductions]

well "quality" is very debatable any handmade company can do the same or better for half the price. seriously you get an ash body and maple neck strat down the street for under 1000$ with those specs on it. Only difference is not the same tuners and pickups.. I'll take a warmoth guitar any day of the week, bound fretboard, tall frets.. ect with the right woods and body shape for me.

I love how they say he made it top to bottoms, i kept looking at the tuners, volume knobs and so on laughing

[cmgill2]

This is a nice guitar but I didn't hear anything that a regular decent strat wont sound like, in fact it sounded all very 'samey'. $6700 is a lot to pay for 2 bits of wood, some wireing, a few magnets, a few screws and some finish. I've got a the 93' ltd ed cs set neck strat, it's no: 7 of 15, I paid £1,200 for it new, best strat I ever played, but only after I worked on it myself and it was 'masterbuilt by John Cruz, Just my opinion.

[TheAlexkru]

i love the sound of the Abby Wound Pickups she's the best
