Fender ‘50s Vs ‘60s Stratocaster - Which One Would You Choose?

Here's a video idea! You guys are the undisputed kings of the shootouts. What if you take a Squier Classic Vibe, a Made in Mexico vintera series, a USA reissue, a custom shop, and an actual vintage guitar (all based in the same decade, presumably 50s or 60s) and do a blindfold test. I think that would be a super interesting video and a good way to go straight up the line. Throw me a 👍if you agree!

That’s guitar is definitely sweet.

[@400_billion_suns]

I didn’t either, or so I thought. I played a PRS since 2001. But when I got a *good* strat, there really is a certain magic to them. They’re not the easiest to play compared to others, & they’re a pretty lousy choice for metal shredding with modern alternatives, but there is something undeniably amazing when you’re chugging out tones like in the beginning of this video. They’re super dynamic instruments, and you can get the sweetest quiet sounds or if you snap the strings like you want to break them they’ll just wail and thump. It just feels like a much more engaging and ‘connected’ instrument than my other electrics, and the clarity on all the pickups with all the chimey overtones is soooo good.

[@08Barclay]

Before the 5 way, many folks stuffed a match stick in the slot, to jam the switch between positions on the 3way, getting a tone similar to what the 5way sounds like now.

I perceive a little bit of darkness in the sound in almost all the videos, or maybe I'm used to hearing strats with a lot of high end? I'm 1 click from buying one of these, but I would like an opinion on this matter.

[@oskarileikos]

Way before the 5-way switch players modded their strats so that the lower tone control would actually be a separate volume control wired into the middle pickup, and the bridge and neck would be wired to the 3-way switch just like in a telecaster. This would give you not just the middle positions, but also neck+bridge and all three. It was called the Memphis wiring, though it's very possible that it has other names too.

[@DVHEllis]

Now very tempted to try this. Hadn't heard of it, thanks for sharing.

Back in the 60s when I was touring with a band I had a 59 strat with a slab rosewood board.Often aftersetting up and getting a balance I'd swap guitars with the lead player in other groups just to compare set ups and sounds.The General opinion among other Strat players was that mine sounded much brighter ....they generally had later models...with rosewood boards.This leads me to believe that the difference was because of the pickups.

According to Billy Gibbons it was Jimi Hendrix who showed him how to remove the detente screws in the 3-way switch and allow it to play "out of phase" as they called it in those days. That would have been in the late 60's when they opened for Hendrix, '68-'69.

I've got an Indonesian Squier Telecaster I bought in the 90s and a new Player strat built in Mexico. There is a big uplift in quality and sound. However, I can't see there being much of a difference between a guitar built in Mexico and one built a couple of hundred miles further north in the USA (often by Mexican workers) with the same pickups and hardware. Vintera and the Mexican made Fenders can be BETTER quality than the US ones.

I'm just glad Fender hasn't gone to 24 frets, makes the guitar look and sound different by pushing the pickups together and moving the neck pickup towards the bridge. 21 or 22, either is fine for me. I'm rarely up to the 22nd fret.

We did use the #2&4 positions in the 50's. They only had a millionth of an inch place that would work, and they wouldn't stay there at all. We used to wildly run the blade back and forth trying to wear it out and then put fat tooth picks in the slot to make it stay still.

I was debunking the thought that fretboards with a lot of grain will "catch" the string and feel scratchy when you try to bend a note. Your fingers definitely touch the fretboard, your strings do not. If you think your guitar feels "scratchy" when you bend a note, it means you need to polish your frets.
