@northlander30 But ... By: firefuzza. on 28 Aug 10, 18:01:58 @northlander30 But on the 24 fret you can bend up to 26 fret pitch? That might be nice to be able to do if your playing in F# :D

@OwnedRL He must ... By: 101Volts. on 27 Apr 10, 15:48:21 @OwnedRL He must pick the B string because its one of the quietest so long as its under the gauge of 12 (Or maybe 11 and a half) And it is a very quick way to see how resonant a guitar is with the guieter strings. If its resonant with quiet strings it'll be resonant with loud strings. Would you rather pick up and play every guitar in a store or quickly test them? It can take hours to figure out what one wants in a store but this cuts the time down.
@InspiretoVictory ... By: 101Volts. on 27 Apr 10, 15:40:47 @InspiretoVictory Here;s how you do it: Always push yourself to practice what you can't play until you can play it well.

The reason I ... By: InspiretoVictory. on 17 Apr 10, 05:37:44 The reason I started playing guitar when I was a kid was because I wanted to know how these guys on TV (MTV) were able to play this instrument so instinctively and move thier hands up and down the neck with such ease.
20 years later, I watch this video and wonder the same thing.

Do you know when they were first put them in a Les Paul? 1946!! Walk into any guitar shop nowadays and I bet you won't see a single LP with P90s. For the last 20 years most made for the masses LPs have humbuckers. I can't even tell you the last time I saw an LP with P90s that wasn't in a catalog.

@kalimoncho51 Yeah ... By: joelbyrne. on 26 Jun 10, 12:30:53 @kalimoncho51 Yeah the hotrails and the vintage hot are good but if you wana keep tha 4th position sounding like a strat id make the middle and neck the same as eachother maybe some Fender texas specials and if you want a hotter bridge id look at some Dimarzio super distortions or Fast tracks. I have the Fast track2 in the bridge on my telecaster and it sounds great it has an output of 320 and the s.distortion is 325. Enjoy!

what would u reccomend ?
cheers
@kalimoncho51 it ... By: joelbyrne. on 25 Jun 10, 10:11:37 @kalimoncho51 it all depends how hot each p.up is. its possible but there could be a danger of having too much of a dramatic change in tone and volume as you switch through your toggle selector, id recomend leaving out the lace sensor because these are known for having a low output in comparison to open pole piece p.ups. Also buying them individuallymight be a struggle as strat pups are usually sold as three a pack

@Peterhorna @ ... By: MrWoodoop. on 03 Sep 10, 17:22:58 @Peterhorna @Peterhorna here let me help you :)
this guy istalking shit! he doesnt even know pickup names. your 5 way selector is the same as every other 5 way.
lets say position 1 is where the switch is pointed forwards, towards the neck. position 2 is one click towards the rear (towards the jack plug), position 3 is another click back and so on
position 1: neck pickup
position 2: neck and middle pickups
position 3: middle pickup
position 4: middle and bridge pickups
position 5: bridge pickup

This is a ... By: danecook321. on 23 Aug 10, 15:25:46 This is a completely useless video! A Strat pickup selector is just a flap of metal that comes in contact with 1 or 2 pickups at a time, It doesn't matter if it falls in place or not, if it's still in contact with the 2 pickups, it's still going to sound the same! There is no "out of phase" position!

I don't know what kind of strats you have but, a proper Custom Shop Stratocaster is just above perfect. I have two of them actually which are signature guitars: 1 Robin Trower and 2 Eric Johnson and they are " I repeat " PERFECT...... So, instead to add $200 onto the budget for repairs, just buy a proper instrument in the first place and then forget about the rest. Just enjoy the feeling and the playing!

I have a forerunner of this, a 2000 example, similar appearance to the one inthe vid, mine however is up-specced, has a more figured body and a heavily birdseye-ed neck & headstock. Tone is just enormous (think Mayer) and the thing just RINGS. They really are very different and alot better than regular US Strats - which are already very good themselves. Try one, you'll be converted.

Fender uses green ... By: shreddy412. on 16 Mar 10, 14:12:56 Fender uses green wood. Which means your neck is going to shrink. I own two Americans and they had to spend way to much time in the shop. One had the crasiest rising tongue I've ever seen. Love that Strat feel and sound but I hate paying that much money for a guitar that is going to need significant fret work. Add $200 to the cost of any strat cause the frets will need a dressing. I'd like to buy more but not untill the quality of fretwork improves. Sorry.

I have never played ... By: mwadevilg. on 26 Nov 09, 07:09:07 I have never played the custom classic, but I did look up and compare the specs. It seems to me that the main difference besides the pick-ups would be in the quality of wood used on the necks and the shape of the neck. The custom deluxe has a highly figured grain and from actually playing it a little more bulky cshaped neck than a modern c shaped neck. The guitar mentioned here costs around $1000 more than the one you mentioned. You would have to compare them yourself to see if this is worth it.

@Morbidvengeance91 ... By: briandb1222. on 12 Jun 10, 17:34:17 @Morbidvengeance91 sell it. If you mean remove your whammy bar, it should unscrew. If you get rid of your whammy bar tighten up the bridge...there are three large screws underneath your saddle (that is if you are using a Strat). Got to take off the saddles blocking access to the screws. Usually the bridge is loosened when using a bar so it performs how its suppose to. Though, your strings get out tune more often when using a bar because of that reason.
@LOZmaster85RB ... By: briandb1222. on 12 Jun 10, 17:29:17 @LOZmaster85RB shouldn't have to cut the loop end if that's what you are talking about. You need to cut the other end that is wrapped around the spulls above the nut.
@flcn92 ... By: briandb1222. on 12 Jun 10, 17:27:11 @flcn92 Unfortunately, no one cares cause they are ignorant. On top of that, they are going to believe the more wide spread lies than the simple truth from one person. Anyways...as I said to the top rated comments, its a good habit to remove one string at a time in case you end up changing the strings on an older guitar.
@ ... By: briandb1222. on 12 Jun 10, 17:24:20 @atrociousvicinity027 Happens when the little ball or loop end (the little metal thing on one end of the string...depends on what kind of string you are using) gets to tight in the tremolo block holes. And that's because of when you tighten the strings from tuning. I actually just had a couple strings do that to me...I used a really small alen wrench to loosen up the loop end. push it from the top of the body down, through the bridge holes.

By: briandb1222. on 12 Jun 10, 17:12:44 @kd9603470756 still a good practice removing one at a time...for one if you are new at it you could use the other strings as reference to see how it was done, etc. Also if you get an guitar that has the neck built-in to it, then you'd already be used to doing one at a time and not all at one time, and accidentally screw up the neck because of a bad habit.

you can take all ... By: flcn92. on 22 Mar 10, 02:44:01 you can take all the strings off at once, that's a common falsehood in the guitar community. Strings do put a lot of tension on the neck but not enough to effect the integrity of the neck. That's why the trussrod was invented, to hold that tension on the neck and keep it straight. go ahead take all the strings off, it's not going to hurt your neck.

Yes its true, playing fast isnt everything. But if its in your style to take your playing in that direction, why make such snive comments? Maybe you're into slow hand, one note blues that give it all the feeling a single note can handle? Thats cool.
Some of us like to play different than that, thats cool too.

By: musichap. on 22 Jul 10, 13:14:56 Dude, I ordered a brand new one but then discovered a mint used one at another music store for of course less money which I purchased instead. This one is a 2006 model with the CS 69 pickups which are initialed and dated by Abigail. All I will say is this beauty is amazing in sound and everything that makes a guitar great!

Great Sound!!! By: jookstill. on 03 Aug 10, 02:44:22 Great Sound!!!
@stratovanzo one ... By: Folkmill. on 02 Aug 10, 21:29:39 @stratovanzo one thing I've picked up along the way is that if your tuning problems are to do with using the whammy (trem/portamento) arm then the solution is generally a metal nut - the bit which guides the strings from the tuning pegs on the headstock to their respective positions on the neck - rather than the plastic ones which Japanese (definitely) and Mexican (I think!) lower-end recent models used as standard. The downside is that you may well need to rout out a slightly wider nut-slot...

i have the same ... By: stratovanzo. on 20 Jun 10, 18:32:11 i have the same guitar only in fiesta red with texas special pickups and plays wonderful, good feel stays in tune like no other strat i've played before. For sure this is better quality than every mexican and a little better than the american standard. There is difference with the american vintage because it's got better electronics. but there is the japanese st62 vsp, 2 piece body (am.vint, am st. 3 piece) di marzio pickups that is new for 1000 $, i think it's better than the am vintage.

By: ravenrage07. on 07 Sep 10, 19:14:23
i wish they would just put hum-cancelling pickups in it. That way you don't have to use 2 pickups at once to get that hum to be canceled. Because maybe u just want bridge sound and not bridge middle sound...

I still like the sound of highway 1 strat good sound affordable than this only a little buzz on frets i've got on the net..
By: Agunforxmas. on 29 Aug 10, 13:30:29
@BelgianBass when do you really ever use the 23 and 24 fret? i never do, NEVER. 22 frets is nice on a strat, because that makes the neck pickup more away from the bridge, which gives it a warmer sound.
By: firefuzza. on 28 Aug 10, 18:01:58
@northlander30 But on the 24 fret you can bend up to 26 fret pitch? That might be nice to be able to do if your playing in F# :D
