I love the Modern D Fender is using now.

[@arjanhurkmans9190]

ah good, this has no whammy to break 🤣!!

[@m310grass]

Found Jack White’s secret account

[@papasmamas1]

😂😂

[@devinlovell86]

Damn!! Shots fired!

[@exastra]

TOO SOON 😂

[@KabukiKev]

Poor John, he has such a gentle hand as a player, now hes getting BBQ’d as a boulderfist caveman

[@robval156]

John, you are a fabulous player!

[@przemysawhellich5251]

My one is on the way 😊 love the offset vibe, pickups sound super cool, no whammy to break😆😉 to me she looks like a keeper.

[@steveshoemaker6881]

I didn’t realize what an incredible player he is

[@archcunningham5579]

Excellent case for a fine guitar !

[@CW0123]

Wish they covered the pickups

[@randrothify]

Yeah, that’s a more premium look. But it’s also a more traditional look, which I don’t think is what the are going for with the Meteora.

[@MrStrat54]

Our boy John is slowly morphing into Stewart Copeland

[@DredgenX]

This is one of the first coil split guitars that actually sounds pretty good to me. I've tried some squiers with that option and it make the single coil version sound too strange.

[@Mark_B585]

Wrong this is the 23rd one

[@Wileylikethehawk]

These are really cool. I want more fun colours though.

[@ThinkMuch89]

Way Sweet Machine' So glad Fenders gettin her Groove back! Thank You! Really great review!🖖🎸

[@richardnagamitsu1582]

Agreed a whammy would be nice. What kind would you mod one in? Bigsby?

[@1997Ghost]

do you find the volume knob placement and texture to be a problem? heard people are hitting it a lot.

[@adamz687]

I dunno, doesn’t seem any closer than on a strat. Bugs me but most people seem fine with it.

[@20vtechnik]

I have the original meteora and the knobs look to be in the same place as this model. They have never been an issue for me. Awesome guitars.

[@steveshoemaker6881]

I’d kill for a reverse body with appropriate pick guard version of this with the traditional non enlarged head stock. Perfect guitar!

[@steveshoemaker6881]

Possibly move the knobs back a little too.

[@steveshoemaker6881]

Maybe reverse headstock too. This would be sick!

[@davidsummerville351]

I'm not watching unless there's a Whammy bar involved! 😊😁😄😆😎🤓

[@dan_brett_rosenthal]

Tone monster!

[@slimsantilli4476]

I have a 1967 Intermark cipher that looks very close to that. Very comfortable shape.

[@Jackson-b8j4l]

Glad to see you recovered after Jack White beating your ass for breaking his guitar. LOL

[@TribalGuitars]

I really love the looks and sounds of a Meteorta, and hope to get one, but the knobs all need repositioning to get that knob down and away from the bridge pickup. I haven't seen anyone reviewing them that hasn't had some kind of issue with it, even if they didn't say so out loud. Love the Easyriders shirt! Man, does era that take me back to my teenage years.

[@PatrickWilson-z2h]

Good to hear

[@therory6888]

Thanks for the video! And very nice guitar! Would like to play it through a Marshall or Orange amp though. Split coils sound better then most.

[@Bhh-j2s]

She's a real looker.

[@rileyhunt3987]

This guitar has a lot of stuff I should like, the offset, HH, hard tail and essentially the G&L PTB system. I just haven't come around on the body shape just yet, and I like a lot of the weirder music man guitar shapes

[@papasmamas1]

To me the body shape is quite ugly. Not super horrendous, but bad enough to think "what Fender? Are you kidding?". It could be much worse. I would play it, but surely not in my bucket list

[@brandonpoole1670]

It’s not that the overall shape is bad, but that lower hip sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@ShipWreckedBard44]

I know they are different beasts all together, but how does this compare to the Jazzmaster ultra? I’m looking at buying the Jazzmaster or the meteora but for the life of me I can’t decide.

[@kelyho82]

Definitely needs a whammy bar!

[@tattoojedi]

what is that fender super reverb amp to your left? i believe its the one your playing through with the fleur d'li graphic?

[@randrothify]

The Meteora is Fender‘s answer to the non-reverse Firebird minus the wonky headstock and tuning machines. Would have preferred if they kept the trem and left it to buyer if they want to deck it or block it. This looks good, but among the modern Fender offsets I prefer the Toronado on looks and ergonomics.

[@michaeljohnson8058]

John: great. Playing: great. Meteora: sexi like judi jetson 😅

[@LetzBeaFranque]

How the neck dive?

[@ethanhitchcock5431]

BOOM-BOOM-QUACK-QUACK !!

[@DredgenX]

is that an amen break drum track? :)

[@rareform6747]

Over Priced !

[@SolidTryThough]

This is a punk rock guitar. Black pickgaurd would help too.

[@Phaidrus]

Even post punk. I could imagine Robert Smith playing a black one with black pick guard. 🕸

[@dustinbrummett3774]

Man after seeing demos on this guitar. It’s hard to believe they put that knob right where your hand would sit. All I can see now. Shame because it’s a pretty cool Guitar

[@lorcazola]

Seems the same as a hardtail humbucker Strat....different shape, same sound.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

Luv this - seriously considering gnabbing one. Imma a little over halfway ca$hed for it, so I'd have to sell off something... And I know just what . . . [ Eyes narrow like a hawk spotting prey! "PRS SE....?? Thou art thy Weakest Link! Good Bye! 👋😝" ]

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

This needs a reverse headstock

[@nicknickson3650]

Someone want to buy this for me?

[@jc6721]

Reverend Guitars have been doing similar set-ups (offset body, PTB circuit) for a long time at a better price point.

[@gavriloprincip11]

It's not a real offset unless it has trem with lots of spring span to the bridge .That's just hard tail squashed "any guitar"

[@gavinshum3230]

You have to be crazy to spend $2,200 on this thing

[@rabidgoon]

"but sweetwater says it's only 60 bucks a month with no interest on their credit card" - somebody stupid

[@jimmyoandrhondalee7431]

It sounds perfect for my needs but being 5'8" I think the body is too long on the end.. Sitting down maybe but standing I would feel it would look too huge and un natural.. Too Bad

[@JasonGonzales-g9s]

Can that guitar chug?

[@przemysawhellich5251]

Yes it can

[@towardstar]

no wiggle stick no deal

[@phillippitts6294]

I liked a lot better as a 900$ hard tail.

[@5urg3x]

Bro the wood that they use for the fingerboard absolutely does not have a “sound” - the strings don’t even touch the fingerboard, they touch the frets…yeah it “feels” different but a lot of that is the finish, not even the wood itself, especially with maple…

[@exastra]

Bro, it absolutely does affect the sound. Lacquered maple necks sound completely different than an un-lacquered rosewood. Its widely known and accepted that maple necks have a snappier, brighter sound. You say the strings don't touch the fretboard but they do contact the fret which is embedded into the neck. Do you think the vibrations from the string do not transfer through the fret to the neck? Even when you are playing an open string vibrations are transferred through the nut. Every part of the guitar affects the tone, except like the pickguard and knobs (duh). To what degree that affect is heard is debatable, tho.
