I wish fender and Gibson could be more budget friendly after all they making a small fortune

[@kevinmackfurniture]

Sadly...Fender doesn't make the Vintera 2 60's Stratocaster in a Left handed model... To be perfectly honest, fully half their models, only come right handed.... But they'll sell you a Right handed Jimi Hendrix(famous lefty)or Curt Cobain ( another famous lefty) signature model all damn day... 🫤 And that's my rant.

[@TREVORJB101]

I wish Fender would give these the proper nitro finish they deserve. They had nitro as an option on the previous Classic Series, but not any more. 2 things I don't like about Fender are the thick poly finishes and the relic treatment to 98% of their Custom Shop guitars. Give me a NOS lacquer paint job like back in the good ol days!

[@otaviofenderstrat4220]

Hi ...good idea ...BUT i not shure if today nitro is really that 50's or 60' nitro ....i had some American Vintage and the nitro on it is thicker than the real vintage guitars.

[@locky828]

@@otaviofenderstrat4220New ones have a Poly undercoat now so it could be that.

[@Edwardkirk-ln5jy]

Nitro is slow to dry and take multiple coats a shrinks a lot. Much more time invested in building the guitar. Then instead of a 1150.00 guitar now you have a 1600.00 guitar. Not so attractive at that point

[@powbobs]

Poly undercoat started in the 60’s.

[@bruceman9581]

They give it the American Vintage II finish 😄

[@MyImprizonedEmotionz]

dude these are the absolute most amazing Mexican made Stratocaster to date yet in my opinion!!! These things feel, sound, and play absolutely beautifully!!!!!

[@BassRocket]

I was impressed with the one I played the other day but I had a hard time getting it to stay in tune at Guitar Center. Not sure what others are saying about the tuners on these.

[@MyImprizonedEmotionz]

@@BassRocket That's odd man. I know the vintage style tuners it seems to be hit and miss sometimes but the last few guitars I've had with them they've been extremely stable. Could've been setup very easily.

[@jaypeterson7637]

That Stratocaster is the bomb! What great sound/looks and overall vibe. My 1st pro rig I purchased in 1974 was a; '62 Fender Strat...'66 Fender Bassman and a Big Muff. That guitar and your excellent demo brought it ALL back...awesome! 🎵🎶🎵😊🎶🎵🎶🔥

[@thepolishshop]

I just picked up a 99 60s model in shell pink. She's 🔥

[@thseed7]

I'm real close to throwing my mint green pickguard back on my Olympic White Strat 🤘

[@forcytek1]

What a beautiful rattling sound in classic 60's stratocaster style 🤩🎶🎸 Congratulations, nice video

[@toddmoore2324]

Man, a 60's Strat just has a vibe that's impossible to deny, am I right???

[@davidbaise5137]

Wow, you are right, no arguing that! You are so not wrong.

[@bubbasouth69]

💯👍🏻

[@caster3283]

You’ve never been more right.

[@JasonMyers-c6z]

I've been wanting to buy a '50s version with the maple neck/fret board in seafoam green. Very cool, man!

[@Ramon_Ramone]

I’ve been loving my Vintera II 60’s Tele.

[@easymancool4788]

Awesome strat. It would look great on my wall

[@MarcelLissner]

The price is ok. They have a thin Laquer, great an light wood, great quallity an the Pickups in this Series are great (Fender Pure Vintage Pickups). You have to play it. I tested many models from this series and i can say they are better than anything Fender Mexico has made before, also better than the roadworn series. I have the 60's Precision Bass and i love it. Only the CTS-Pots are shit but you also have this problem also with the Custom Shop Guitars. Best regards from Germany😊

[@linkhatchet]

Cant wait to get this!

[@michaelaiello9525]

You sound great on Strat !!! No sooner had refinished my Player neck with nitro then they went back to Rosewood. Arrrrgh!!

[@pbgoncalves4]

Congrats for your review on this guitar!! I agree with you about you sad,... This guitar is very good !!! I bought one in SB finish with a really good sound as yours , nice weight , and as you sad ... is a good value for a vintage style Strat ! Great review!!! Paulo

[@bryancollins6796]

I've played a couple of these recently. The Vintera II 60's and the AV II 61 have an identical neck feel, are both made well, and have great sound. So does the nitro paint on the AV II and darker fret markers justify double the price of the Vintera II's?

[@brentthurber2024]

Any experience with 70’s model and how it compares to this 60’s?

[@kristofer603]

How does this Strat compare to the Classic Vibe SQUIER 50’s Strat made in Indonesia??

[@iagobroxado]

This one sounded quite a bit better than the 50's Vintera II you demoed, IMO. I don't know if that's the pickups only or the setup too, but this one had the right amount of girth, chime and snap all in one.

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

The Vintera II 60s is hands down one of the best Strats I've reviewed. I really loved it! Thanks for watching

[@ILL-HOLIDAY]

Just bought the Vintera II 60's Strat on GC's website in 3 Tone Sunburst for $899 after the $150 sale price and %10 in cart discount. It'll be here next week ;)

[@kevinmackfurniture]

Just ordered the Vintera 2 60's pickups as a replacement for my 82' American Fender Bullet S3 deluxe, based on this video.

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

Thanks for watching, these pickups sound great - good choice!

[@Jadevibration]

Excellent review and demo as always! As these are close to the price of the Am Pro II which would you take if you had to decide. I'm deciding between this Vintera II 60s or an Am Pro II? Thanks!

[@MarkEdward-bl6cr]

Now that's a Strat just a killer guitar love it thanks guys 👍👏🤘

[@PhillipHolt-f9r]

I wonder how many guitars have been sold from these videos.

[@tubingforever]

Wait, I had the Vintera I Strat and it had a thin C neck profile. The Vintera has a thick C?

[@user-jb4um9tl8d]

And like its preceding model (The Classic 60's), it has a SOLID SLAB ONE PIECE ALDER BODY!

[@patricemurguet5247]

Hello What amp and effect do you use to get this sound ?

[@alexstrums]

I have a 2010 Classic series 60s (not a classic player). Is there much difference between the two? Both have a 7.25 neck, 60s voiced pickups and a rosewood neck

[@jedsonkemper2090]

Does this guitar have a thin, comfortable neck? Or is it a fat arm?

[@mikewright6175]

Can review the Mike McCready mex strat?

[@sebastienboucher6347]

To me the frets size on those ones is an absolute deal breaker.

[@jayteesgear]

I need one

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Tempting, but after buying and returning several of the original vintera 50`s & 70`s Teles for horrendous and inexcusable QC issues I will never buy another MIM fender again.

[@stephanemenet5854]

I bought 2 Vintera guitars as well and had to send them back (a Jaguar and a Stratocaster) because they were really bad. But you can find good mexican ones. My Telecaster Player Plus 2023 became my favourite one. No issues at all.

[@otaviofenderstrat4220]

I had 2 American Standard e 1 American Professional that sucks....bald necks that truss rod adjustments couldn't fix ....There are bad QC issues on American line too.

[@jambibaub8753]

the Vintera 2 is much better QC and craftsmanship wise. I have both vintera 1's and 2's. These are really US-calber, except for the finish and case.

[@RobR455]

Neck pickup 👍

[@7387470]

I just got to have one.

[@Mogs716]

I want it!! 😍🤤🤘🏽

[@ernielamprell6765]

I bought my Vintera ii because it was better than ANY OTHER STRAT in the major guitar store.

[@stuckinchaselandia6427]

Everyone complaining about the price. Thats just what shit costs people. Look at Epiphone. Some of those are a grand and made in China!!

[@jhhag]

I spent some time with this in a store, using a Fender amp I know well. It is awesome💫 The Amish placement of the truss rod adjustment was a deal breaker for me though.

[@user-jb4um9tl8d]

Yeah well the AMISH build things that last a lifetime

[@rmaxtpmx]

I wouldn't buy an Amish truss rod, but their fireplaces are unbeatable.

[@Dragon_rls]

A real slab of rosewood... Do you mean that Fender made a mistake, and completely forgot to cut costs on production???? Oh please... Say it isn't so...

[@bluwng]

Nothing attractive about $1149 for MIM guitar. They use to be $500.

[@Tha81stGod]

Everything “used to be “ lol things change

[@rmaxtpmx]

And minimum wage used to be $4.50 when I was in high school. Grow up, and figure out that you don't live in a vacuum. Inflation has never not existed.

[@bluwng]

@@rmaxtpmx careful Grandpa I am a lot smarter than you will ever live to be don’t come to a gun fight with a butter knife. There is rate of inflation, logistics costs, Manufacturing cost both labor, material and overhead and the real question why was there a big increase and how much is justified ona particular product that can be discerned by profit margin and equal competitors market price.

[@hiiifidelity]

@@bluwngthis isn't just a guitar, its a legacy strat built to resemble the 60s models. only difference is the poly finish. Not making the guitar a nitro finish was a fatal mistake in my opinion. These would have sold like hotcakes if they were nitro.

[@m1ckh4ck]

Over a grand for a Mexican fender is pathetic

[@davidbaise5137]

Did he just say $1100 for a Mexican guitar??? Don’t pull that trigger. Keep looking.

[@thisistimwoods]

2nd hand USA Standard for cheaper

[@federicoresendiz3617]

@@thisistimwoods Fender’s MIM “upsell” models like the Player Plus and Vinteras are basically what used to be American guitars by spec, with the offshoring of labor to keep the prices where they used to be for the base American models. As long as the old American base models are available second hand they’ll be great deals. But overtime they’ll all increase in price and we may not see guitars at this quality level below the $1000 mark in ten years with raw material inflation going the way it’s going.

[@bobbert6770]

​@@thisistimwoodssecond hand Mexican for Eve more cheaper

[@rmaxtpmx]

Man I'm so tired of seeing so many stupid people flooding the Earth. If you don't know the difference in quality between previously made guitars and currently produced guitars, that's your own ignorance. If you had any idea what you were talking about, you would be fully aware that MIM guitars are only far better than what they used to be. Stay out of comment sections until you actually know the topic you're about to comment on. FFS.

[@RockstarPremeG]

Go spend 2300 on an American vintage II or buy a used one like your classic American, acting like Mexican craftsmanship is cheap when it’s actually better or the same as American quality now and days you wouldn’t known because you only go to guitar shops once a year buddy

[@GreggBennett-j3p]

Nice sound, but seriously overpriced

[@user-jb4um9tl8d]

Have to be honest, this is just the new replacement for the original CLASSIC 60'S MODEL, which to my ears sounded a little better, and was easier to play.
