Thank you for sharing this video! I have this beautiful Strat. Bought it over Player. No regrets. Actually, I doubt that I will ever need guitar with Fender logo on the headstock :)

It’s a cracking guitar especially for the money. We’re so lucky to have instruments of this quality available at these prices nowadays compared to old standards. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe for a video you’ll be very interested in tomorrow night! 🙏🏻👍🏻

What a steal! Amazon have this deal on right now for the same guitar in natural finish. I purchased 2 and both are exceptional quality, but I noticed one came in bang on 8lbs and the other much heavier at 8.8lbs. You really feel the difference when you pick up to play.

That's 3.63kg vs. 3.99kg to put it into new money.

A few days ago, I bought the natural finish version from Amazon, for £270. Not quite the bargain you copped for, but still darned good! No complaints from me anyway, it’s a superb guitar. 😊

thats still a cracking deal to be fair. Glad you like it. What amp you using?

Certainly a bargain. I bought one from Amazon a week before Christmas and paid £238. Wasn't even in the market for one but at that price it's crazy not to buy. I have the Classic Vibe 60s Tele too and they're both superb instruments regardless of price.

Yeah it’s amazing for the money. I have a tele Squier cv too, did another vid about that if you wanna check it out. Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to subscribe for more as got a new vid dropping at 17:30 👍🏻🤘🏻

The gits have put it back up since I bought it now. Squier by Fender Classic Vibe '70s Stratocaster®, Laurel Fingerboard, Olympic White amzn.eu/d/aaavM2U keep an eye on it as they fluctuate their prices all the time. So annoying. Hope you catch one

@@lukepyron7468 I’ve heard great things about the spark. Interesting product. I’ve got a new video out tomorrow I think you’ll find interesting. Comparing the Strat classic vibe against a fender Strat ultra USA model with blind tone comparison test too to see if you can tell which is which. Please share the video too buddy if you could to help it get out there to as many as possible. Thanks

Sorry, but 3.69kg is really heavy AF for a strat. 3.4kg is the upper limit IMHO.
@johnoakleymusic8 ай бұрын
After playing my Les Paul’s it doesn’t feel heavy at all. My tele ultra is lighter admittedly but I don’t have a problem with these weights at all. I don’t see how there can be a one for all weight either as we’re all different sizes and builds. It’s all personal buddy. Thanks for watching though and hope you got something out of the video. I’ve got an interesting video coming out this week you might like doing a blind tone comparison test with this versus my fender USA Strat ultra. Don’t forget to subscribe for more 🙏🏻👍🏻
