Cool groove. Get a bluesy thing like that and I will toss a vocal on it if you ever are interested.

Cool

Dude thanks for uploading this. I discovered this track in the mid 2000s on MySpace and every so often I remember it and go play my crappy version of it on my bass with a smile. But wanted to let you know this riff has inspired me for many years

so cool!! can I use this song for my channel? i will make rink

Exactly what I need today. Thanks!

awesomeness

thank you!

Without looking any other parts on this or any guitar, look at the plug hole to the truss rod. No walnut lined insert then it's fake and most likely china.

Really wish you hadn't skipped the opening the piano part. That is the part I'm most afraid of, since I never know if I still need to remove another screw or if all it needs is a little bit of force and it will come off. The side panels for example, seem to only have one screw on it each but removing it still needs a lot of force. Edit: Figured it out. For anyone in the future: there is also a screw on the bottom, right below each of the side panels that you need to remove.

Everything is generally quite simple, if you paid 100 bucks or less for it - then everything is ok. Looks like a Fender and sounds like a Fender.

El tornillo del pitguar de la guitarra esta más alto Serca del selector de posiciónes por eso creo también q es falsa

Reed! I think some guy from Bakersfield won that one with some cool volume swells. Well done!

Sorry to hear that the purchaser got hustled. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this info. Hopefully it serves your intended purpose of protecting at least one person from getting scammed. It will probably help a lot of less knowledgeable folks become MORE knowledgeable!

voila...not wala

That's why I only buy from reputable guitar shops.

Great video, short and to the point

It reminds me a lot of "Lowdown" by Boz Scaggs.

lol one look i saw the headstock decal first off

Your first red flag would be 2 string trees where we all know American strats only have 1 , that's the 1st thing I noticed .

Wax, brilliant. Thanks, and when the time comes, thanks again.

so good man

Sounds Like Pantera Tuning

Wow.

Everytime i see a silver strat i get sad for.selling the strat plus i got rid of . The lace sensors lsr roller nut locking tuners and bridge with the fender/floyd rose it had . Looks just like a standard strat bridge and saddles but the trem bar had a allen wrench to to loosen and tighten the string clamps in the saddles . Didnt like the fact of cutting the strings rgebsame as a regular floyed but it still kicked ass best strat i ever played and heard she was special and rare wish i never sold it

Just had the same thing happen to me. I’m so embarrassed because I know better.

I didnt see but about 5 seconds and could see the neck Fender logo is crooked and not in the right position.

Hangin in there , John , wish you well.

Was a FUN gig !

Fantastic Sir...

Awesome track I love it so much and I do a song using it. Please give me permission I made a song using this track and upon your approval, I'll upload it and provide you link Thanks

Sounds good! Nice 👌🏻

my tuner knobs looks like that string goes through not around. i got a fender player stratocaster, its mexican seriel number checks out.

Thanks John. Captures the era perfectly!

Really sick to jam to, thank you

Who's making these fakes should not be a loud. There getting a way with it. Music shops should no better not to. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤔😕😞🤑

I recently fell a victim of a fake Fender Stratocaster. First thing I noticed was the asymmetric distance between the knobs. The volume knob and the first tone knob were really close to each other, compared to the last tone knob.

hello friend, i'm from brazil i have a roland roland hp 236. i'm having problems with the flat cable that connects the keys. I would like to know if you could help me. Is it a common flat cable or is it specific? thanks

It's very commendable that you posted this video, to educate people on fakes.

You missed some obvious things..... 1. To many screws in the pickguard. 2.trem cover on the back has incorrect holes. 3. The neck is incorrect, however, if it was a different year the walnut skunk strips would be clearly visible where you adjust the trussrod. Never had to take it apart, it actually looks cheap.

great stuff!! Thanks so much...

I'm a bass player and love Fender and some Squier basses. I don't mess around buying instruments online when it comes to cheap instruments labeled with expensive brands while claiming to be "made in USA". This Strat don't look even right for an Indonesian-made Squier. I'm sure those Squier Strats' qualities are even far better than these fake "Fender" guitars you come across that are very likely made by bootleggers in China.

Hello, my weights are broken.and it's impossible to glue them. Do you know where can I buy them?

This should be required viewing. The amount of trouble scammers are going to, is astounding - even for lower-priced instruments.

new fav thing to jam to

I can tell immediately at 0:01, without watching the rest of the video, that this is not a Fender guitar and is likely a Squier Bullet or Affinity.

Trust rod hole had no insert wood were the different color wood would show..

Enjoyed it! Nice string quartet vibe at the end.

How much did the buyer pay for the guitar?

Awesome!

Love this! Perfect tempo and groove for working on faster jazz funk lines. Thank you!
