Just got my Daphne Blue from CME. I already have 8 Fender Strats including 3 from the Custom Shop. I had been holding off for many years looking for just the right Daphne Blue Strat from Fender. This was the one!. OMG, I think this just might be the best sounding Strat in my collection. The tones sound very snappy and clear (just what I hear in my head as to how a Strat should sound like for me). I also had just bought a Limited Edition Vintera 70’s Strat with Custom Shop 69 Pickups. I thought THAT guitar was the best sounding in my collection, until this one arrived. If you can get one, do it. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Thank you so much Anderton’s Music and Chicago Music Exchange. I believe they knocked it out of the park with this Limited Edition run. 🙏🏼

[@RyanMcQuen]

Daphne Blue is the best!

[@MissJazz004]

that daphne blue one does it for me man. i guess i’m saving up for a few months. i’ve never spent that much on anything hobby related but i love that color. they sound amazing, look amazing, and the price can’t be beat, even by US pricing. 1,275 for a nitro relic finish in my favorite strat color, with the nice creamy vintage pickups. cme should be charging more for those specs.

[@andertons]

Our first batch has already sold through. But don't worry, we have more available to pre-order & they're arriving over the next 2 months! If you’re thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these highly limited Fender Road Worn Guitars, don’t leave it too long! 🤘

[@GazP23]

I’ve been waiting for these to be released since the Tonemaster Blonde Deluxe Reverb/Twin video where you mentioned the FSR’s. I’ve gone for a vintage white, will happily wait until end Nov for my pre-order, it’s a great spec guitar for the money. Nice one guys.

Didn’t realize it but I wound up getting 1 of the 10 from Chicago music exchange. Weighs 7.4lbs and absolutely jams, It’s slowly become the daily driver in the fleet. Thank you guys for spec’ing this guitar the way you did because it checked all the boxes aside from fretboard that I wanted. I had accepted the fact that I’d have to shell out for a custom shop but when I saw this online I bought it pretty much instantly, only thing I asked was to send me the one with the darkest fretboard they had and they did. The checking and satin like nitro surprised me at how good it looks in person. Thanks again!

[@ToneChaser79]

I’ve got one of these from Chicago Music Exchange (red Strat) and absolutely love it. It’s leagues above my 2017 American Special

[@ProficientEnough]

Thanks guys! You just sold the white one to me from CME since I live in the states. I saw a regular vinterra road worn 50's at guitar center which i loved and remembered this video and searched around for one since I remembered these came with better pickups. Looks like a killer guitar and sounds great! Can't wait to get it!

lee might not be the best guitar player, but he is getting a whole damn lot better. that's so nice to watch. also the whole crew encouraging him to play is creating a nice ambiente

[@michaelmcaleer9532]

Just recieved mine from CME in Candy Apple red. I just love the way the guitar feels and plays. As an added bonus it has a flamed neck. Thanks for specking out these strats with the true 59 pickups. A real 59 is my dream guitar but this fills the void as I will probably neverbe able to afford one.

Roadworn Strats are killer guitars, I stuck a set of Seymour Duncan psychedelic Strat pickups in mine with a upgraded wiring harness to include a treble bleed, amazing guitars.

[@pdautg]

these guitars with cool looks, and pickups!!!, and spot-on price are what the entire range of sub-custom shop guitars should be. great job Andersons! (btw, sweet play by pete, and by captain on the purple meanie, heh heh.)

How I wish the outro jam never ended. It was magical.❤❤

[@LRBerry]

These strats sound so good! I'd even say, they are the best sounding guitars I've heard in quite some time. Then Lee played the tele! That is the winner for me.

[@jayjacks2641]

Fender used to do the Highway One guitars; same thing, nitro finish, vintage spec hardware etc, but NOT reliced and USA made that was affordable. I'm sure this will make those prices go up!

[@steverix8181]

Agree!

[@jdl2180]

I have a bass with PF and it feels just like RW and looks better then RW.

[@featheryfemme]

jdl that’s the thing, PF can look better than RW, but it’s so inconsistent. I was lucky enough to get a pretty dark and consistent PF fretboard on my only guitar with one, but I’ve seen plenty others with an ugly orangish stripe through it. And feel comes down to preference, I think.

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

These special Vinteras are quite nice! I once owned a Vintage White Strat Plus Deluxe (ordered it out of the catalogue in '96) and I recall my sales-dude at the shop (Eric) telling me Fender wanted to call it "Nicotine White" but the PC Police wouldn't allow it! With a vintage colored maple neck, black pearloid dots, Gold Lace Sensor pickups and the two point trem with the LSR roller nut... man... that guitar player and sounded like a dream! I wish I still had that guitar! Off to dreams of guitars... life could be worse! 🎸😎

if you guys sadly luck out and want a 50's style strat or 60's the vintera modified versions are amazing quality for the price

[@laurensbronsveld]

They are amazing indeed, but 50/60 they are not (two point tremolo and 9,5 radius, S1 switching, thin neck, fender should have given them a different name I think) I almost bought the 60 white strat because of the finish on the neck though.

I came home from work on my birthday and my wife hid the Daphne blue strat in the closet, It looks and sounds unbelievable, I’ve had my player now 3 years, and a Clapton signature, I was unsatisfied with because of the noiseless pups, I wanted something vintage, something that looked and felt like Jimi would have played, wow, I can’t believe it. These are great. The 7.5 radius compared to player 9.5 I don’t really notice dramatically one way or the other.

Captain Lee quote of the day: "I wish I could play as well as you can't play "

[@ortonnorth]

I've ordered the vintage white Strat last night. I was looking for something with a classic 60's sound and relic for ages. Some say that pau ferro is ruining the sound, but honestly, I really like the sound of that Strat. So if that's the way this sound was ruined, then I'm totally up for it! It's really hard to find a 60's relic reissue, with modern wiring for less than 2K, even if it's a second hand, so to me £999 for a brand new instrument that tick all the boxes is a bargain. Yes, I know, it's a MIM, but with US 59's pups, who cares! I can't wait! You guys have totally nailed it! So to me, this year, Christmas will start in November and out of sudden 2020 doesn't look so sh&% anymore 😊 This should be your new slogan - "Andertons - we've made 2020 better (unlike everyone else)" 😁

[@javierservigon]

Im not a strat guy so this ironic but i stopped playing for about 10 years (life). One day I just walked into a guitar store cause i wanted to get into it again but i figured i’d buy a cheap acoustic then i saw one of the original runs of the road worns and i just felt The Call. Literally that guitar screamed that i needed to start playing again.

[@bpneiman]

Haha. I bought the purple Road Worn Telecaster a year and a half ago and did this exact pickup swap to get it a "little" closer to Pete's specs. Great guitar. Glad to know I was a little ahead of the game.

[@onenotesolo256]

I’ve watched far too many Andertons videos over the years (with much joy), and you generally have quite a thin guitar tone (I’m sure YT comp etc has an impact but other KZbinrs get a better sound). To my ears, the Pete strat tones are BY FAR the best tone you’ve ever printed to KZbin. Even the tele sounds, which I appreciate are harder to get across, make a decent fist of it. Whatever you did for this video, KEEP DOING IT (and I say that as someone who records and mixes music). Keep safe and well.

[@djt6546]

There are quite a few very good players like Pete who swear by the flattened trem approach. Partly because they don’t want a floating trem but also because of the unique take on feel and tone it gives. Worth trying if you like strats without the float 🤷‍♂️

I’m with you Pete in regards to the trem. If your not a trem player but like a start decking the trem is the way to go. For me it seems that it bends easier and sounds a little nicer.
