Lee & Pete Check out the 2017 Fender Booth!

[@jgodin312]

That's Seymour Duncan standing behind Lee at 8:20

[@FlyingEddies]

Just casual legend Seymour effin' Duncan chillin' in the background

[@Thejohnnylove69]

Cornelius Larsen y

[@maxscardanelli6185]

Cornelius Larsen Where's that man? Time marker please?

[@Prodoozer]

[@Doug5524]

Blackwood is a medium-sized Australian hardwood that grows in South Australia and the eastern states. In the wetter areas of Tasmania it is grown in large volumes for commercial use. It is definitely an 'appearance timber', with a heartwood that is a rich golden brown.(as from The Net)

[@samflynnmadsally]

You know what? I own a 'fake worn' Heavy Relic Custom Shop Limited Edition Strat, it's amazing, and it's comfy with the wear. I'm a professional musician, and play it all the time. If people don't like it, and say it doesn't count, that's great! I love it, and I'm the one that had to spend over two and a half grand to have it. I really couldn't care less if you don't like my guitar, because I love it.

[@diegotobar6839]

I love aging guitars! On my own.. by playing them.. for years and years and years..

[@LasseHuhtala]

Oh man, that knotty wood strat. Love it! I looks like a Swedish kitchen chair from the 70-80's.

[@cthree87]

Lasse Huhtala looks like a futon I had in my basement 20 years ago. I wouldn't make a guitar out of it. Next year they will build them from broken pallets found next to the dumpster behind the factory and charge double. Who says the economy sucks.

[@LasseHuhtala]

Notmy Realname Broken pallets you say. Already reliced. I'm getting an idea. :-D

[@MrCleitus]

I own a heavy relic Larrivee electric, I made it that way by playing clubs in the 90's as should be done.

[@mikes062]

Great video! Fun to watch their honest reactions to the guitars!

[@littlebigcat]

Really appreciated zooming in on the woman's behind. Thanks guys. Was only going to give you one thumbs up until that point, definitely two now.

[@maxscardanelli6185]

21:23 Your camera guy is a dirty man!!! 😉😉😂😂👌🏻👌🏻

[@Sendrummazing]

Max Scardanelli glad someone else noticed

[@TheDefcom3]

Nice shot !

[@josedealva4205]

kind of awkward

[@felixnilbog4517]

I like blue fenders with tortoise shells, and crazy high output humbuckers. (I like weezer)

[@fiipedc]

17:56 ah ah ! What does Mick Thomson (from Slipknot) do here ? (left side of the picture) Does the fender strat will be his next guitar? Sounds interesting ^^

[@RichardFriendartist]

I love some of these guitars. very cool. great clip guys.

[@frmcf]

Seriously, I'll do my own relicking, thank you very much. And if I want a refin, I'll do my own refin as well. You can't buy the memories.

[@crazytrainmusic708]

Love how you didnt notice Seymour Duncan standing next to you :) 9.00 mins hes the guy with he grey hair.

[@SKiLLeDcs]

Absolutely loving the necks on those limited edition professional models featured in the beginning of the video! I think I might have to get one of the teles.

[@hachewie]

Love Cherry Burst. My favourite finish on a Tele.

[@ErikSWE]

Would love it if the Custom Shop something other than relics nowadays.

[@deanmcalister2535]

They still make Custom Shop NOS guitars.

[@GearUpGuitar]

I have nothing against Relic guitars however I would prefer the builder spend those 15-20 hours they used to relic the guitar on making the guitar sound incredible. I really don't need the cost of the guitar going up because we have to pay someone to beat the thing up.

[@cocoplexplex]

captain didnt fancy the orange Strat well i do ;)

[@WillReynolds88]

Great videos. Loving the coverage so far!

[@63timfred]

I like my guitars pristine and shiny!

[@raserx63]

That 12 string Bass is the Tom Petersen (Cheap Trick) signature model. He came up with the idea in 1977 and has been using them live ever since. In the studio , he sticks to a traditional 4 string however.

[@lemonpi3386]

@26:50 is that crossroads i hear faintly in the background?

[@No-fx3et]

Is no one going to talk about Mick Thomson from Slipknot in the back at 17:00

[@shane2432]

Jared R. Tarin they're brits they don't know what real American metal is

[@c.amoroso]

Pete takes every chance he gets to mention his custom shop tele. Lol it’s so funny. I love this dude

[@BackratHsu]

"Something's in the way..." *zooms in* "but that's okay" You guys crack me up LOL

[@kx85Jacko]

Mick Thompson in the background \m/

[@Nakeele01]

so the Custom Shop became like the normal Fender line somewhat. When you look at the production rate one has to wonder how "custom" those guitars really are anymore

[@nicoboyd]

Incredible stuff, i wish more artist would go and play cool finishes like those

[@ryanbunning7595]

You can tell they're not bass guys.. "Yeah that's just a Jazz Bass -moving on" C'mon guys, give us bassists some coverage!

[@Cloud-og1qo]

Ryan Bunning Im sorry but your not important.

[@laurielicuanan1747]

Ryan Bunning they did go through the Ibanez bass at NAMM2017 it's a separate video.

[@TheEthug]

Heads up, that lollar charlie pickup in the tele is so fucking amazing, i played one in a Maton T-Byrd and the tone is a whole next level.

[@artisanwolf2068]

Beautiful guitars.

[@MrZosh]

That Tele and Strat at 09:56 looks awesome!!!

[@tiagofcoelho]

haha, is that Seymour Duncan at 09:45?

[@TheZeppelinFloyd]

sure looks like him ..crazy spot though

[@xandrewbrown]

Relic guitars are the ones that get a few dings in them during the manufacture process - instead of calling them production seconds and sending them out cheap, they purposely add a few more dings and scrapes and call them relics... BS in anyones language. A Squire will play and sound as good as any of these guitars for a tenth the price.

[@Simto]

It's awesome that Paisley finishes are getting some love recently. I just wish the more affordable MIJ pink paisley Teles had a slightly more "muted pink" like the custom shop models' finish.

[@hellyeah_tv]

Haha!! Mick Thompson here! 17:10

[@leandroreis7002]

Was about to comment this haha

[@hellyeah_tv]

That means "Gotcha Mick!"))

[@oddmushasmr]

Well spotted, it's pretty surreal to think loads of guitar/music heroes are just strolling around checking out guitars.

[@hulkhogan503]

well his band member is sponsored by fender

[@shane2432]

Nookie Lang yesssssss

[@danwright8735]

i love how your cameraman focussed on the TOM PETERSON poster whilst you were goofing about on his 12 string bass!!!

[@melissaraul]

Captain ! ... man i can feel ur excitment being around all those guitars ....

[@mrshiney2]

I would like to see some industry numbers on guitar sales. I think that guitar playing is a dying art. In my town anyways in Ca. the kids are just not interested in putting in the time, they would rather be on a device of some type

[@geoffnightingale9290]

Aged, yes. I have a couple. They get more positive remarks than any. Great vids. Blue and tortoise shell is beautiful.

[@RobCmusic]

These days what I like about seeing the Custom shop finishes is that it gives me ideas for refinishing a cheap SX or Squier - something I've done several times already. I don't have that kind of money to spend on a guitar these days.

[@bluebetta39]

I'm Fucxing fan of IBANEZ & JACKSON loving high gain and sharp shape, but FENDER always kicks my ass that Fender is one of the best guitar makers in the world. All of them are fucxing lovely..

[@leonkeating1015]

That blue tele with tortoise, and cherry sunburst strat are the bomb

[@umut2945]

21:26 yooooooouuu son ofa biiiiiaaaaaacccccchh

[@ofir_likes_beer]

Litsen Captain, No two Guitars Are The Same Every Guitar is different than The Other

[@arvedbohn6133]

I only know "african blackwood", which is called "Grenadill" in germany. It's used very often for bagpipes like smallpipes or great highland bagpipes and also in sometimes for uilleann pipes.

[@pa4tim]

In my eyes, buying a beat up new guitar is similar to buying a new Defender or Jeep with factory sprayed on mud so it looks like you did a lot of off road driving.

[@Crumbles-]

17:13 Mick Thomson from Slipknot in the background..

[@WatchesnguitarsDK]

Thanks/tak for the videos! Tjek Squier CV Teles are pine, too.

[@kaietchell]

23.54 the side board strats and tele's behind look really country western type guitars!

[@mikebrookfield]

Entertaining & funny vid guys...Crossroads solo in background still sounds epic..

[@Jakeman90210]

9:22 Is that seymour duncan?

[@Tim.Pierce]

yep that was the man himself and the guys didn't even notice him

[@drewmello6462]

I looooove the shoutout to The Boss!!

[@tomthx5804]

It;s like watching a gay couple shopping

[@daveyboy8907]

I always thought that ...

[@Lulled_]

truly beautiful.

[@mirrorrorrim6481]

Lol, 22:04ish

[@mickeysigrist]

Fender used to make pinewood guitars back in the day because of the price, not because of some fancy property. Same thing with ash, which was also very cheap back when the brand started.

[@karenpato1]

Who cares how heavy or light a guitar is?? Unless you're a senior citizen with shoulder problems, just play the damn thing and appreciate the beautiful guitar you're playing.

[@dylangreen9819]

John Miller well i have a bass made of hard maple and it's like 12 pounds. it's bad on my shoulders

[@karenpato1]

The Ghost of the Flying Dutchman what about upright basses? ...shoulders should be completely relieved from weight pressure....I would think.

[@dylangreen9819]

John Miller I don't play upright though. I think it would be cool to try

[@karenpato1]

The Ghost of the Flying Dutchman I've heard people say that a "true bass player" is one that plays a stand up or upright bass.

[@dylangreen9819]

John Miller I would disagree

[@AshRavens]

that was a Quilted maple top not flame maple.

[@dimitrismatziris8493]

oh captain plz work out a deal on those new jags they look orgasmic !

[@harigewipwap]

Wasn't that old guy Seymour Duncan?

[@DandamanV]

Harige Wipwap sure looked like it

[@DandamanV]

Harige Wipwap sure looked like him

[@RichardFriendartist]

I saw that too. it was!

[@Tim.Pierce]

it was seymour the man himself and the guys didn't even notice him lol

[@PaulPoGoaIndia]

Fender should re issue Richie sambora model with 24 frets with floyd rose ✌🏻

[@Nyitemare]

Great coverage =D love the new branding too!

[@okitsG]

im supposed to be writing a paper but the uploads keep coming D:

[@thomasraven]

So you guys have never heard Cheap Trick? Tom Petersson has used 12 string basses for years and the sound is massive.

[@derekbiggerstaff]

T.K. Back in the 70s there was a UK bass player who made a 13 string bass, the 13th string being a motorbike cable running down the back of the neck to counteract the incredible tension of the other 12. Can't remember his name unfortunately.

[@Tim.Pierce]

thats the tom peterson signature bass it was tom himself who designed that bass

[@andrewt248]

I'm with the Captain on the tortoise shell pickguards. That blue/tortoise Tele is a stunner.

[@influxxmedia]

Dudes, every year I forget to check if you guys do a NAMM meetup. You were about 5 mins from my house. Some day, one year I'd love to buy you lot a drink. One drink, six straws, you can share :-)

[@PeteHawthorne]

I really dig the relic black over sunburst finish.

[@ekmekthefig]

Pete Hawthorne Reminds me of David Gilmour's guitar

[@donficzere2463]

At 1:45 in, you guys lift the Knotty Pine Telecaster. Wow! That's gotta be my next Tele! ...Of course I'm gonna want a Humbucker in the Neck (Ala "Deluxe") and a Bigsby vibrato setup on it. Gonna have to call the Custom Shop I think! (Love the engraved Logos too!) Thanks for the walk through Cap, I watched the Anderton Guitars Booth walk through just before taking in this vid. Well done!

[@Masterfighterx]

4:24 Quilted maple top*

[@blake2456]

Question for the Relic/Non-Relic crew.. If you see someone playing a grungy looking guitar, do you think you could tell if it was bought like that vs. "earned"?

[@droptuned83]

Reliced guitars are not for me Captain , let me buy a mice shiny new one then if it gets knocked about its by me and its real.

[@JohnPaulSheets]

$1500-$2000 for pine?! Like hell!

[@fUP420babe]

paying more for a knotty pine body, seems crazy to me, i think they are cool and would own one, but come on, they should be cheaper than the regular models.

[@tallalexander]

Anything with FSR for 2017? And yes to more jags and jazzmasters...... although I was noodling on a tele when watching this video..... right where is my jaguar?

[@stevieboy444]

I hate reliced guitars with a passion..... (insert rant here). I don't buy them in any sense of the word.

[@rowanlacey5191]

That black wood Tele!!!!!

[@analogfox6792]

Strat on 5:10 was cool but the blue jag on 23:15 was even better

[@tglu87]

Fender Custom Shop should really be called Fender Relic Shop. Will never understand the fuss over relic guitars

[@offbeatinstruments]

Crimson Guitars do a "Raw" series that uses very knotty or unusual chunks of woods. Fender fit and finish looks top notch though

[@fender86541]

The Fender stratocaster #3 is so beautiful and I looking for one like that, someone can tell me how much.?

[@CompelledUsername]

Wait: how come the pine versions are more expensive than the Ash or Alder body models? Is it due to the flamed maple neck and pups?

[@stephanrose2565]

"We've got something in the way.." -zooms in on the booty- hahaha

[@igorsekulic6945]

PLEEEAAASSSEEE do top shelf guitars on any of the guitars you get from NAMM

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

21:24 agreed

[@markhawksford785]

I loooooooooove the Tom petersson 12 string bass.

[@terrytickler]

awesome vid is their a mexi / squier vid comming up ???

[@tippydripbumskeetr1745]

the commercial before yer vid is "franklin strap.com" playing while my guitar gently sleeps??? is such a priceless moment- so please consider these folks to yer line up on the vids at andertons or TPS..... thnx...

[@dino264onps3]

I do like the bass vi but I definitely wouldnt pay custom shop prices for one

[@JKM395]

I wonder who the first person was who said, "You know, I really like that guitar, but is there any way you could beat the hell out of it before I buy it?" I just do not get it. Then they charge you more for said beat to hell guitar. Nope.

[@alech7105]

Keith richards

[@JKM395]

Alec Howe Ha! I wouldn't be surprised. If that is the case, my next question would be "what was he on at the time?"

[@alech7105]

The story is that he commissioned a replica of one of his tells and when the custom shop gave it to him he complained about it looking too new and the relic was born...

[@derekbiggerstaff]

Alec Howe Yes indeed, apparently that was the Genesis.

[@JKM395]

Fair enough. To each his own I suppose.

[@andsoitgoes2177]

Best line... "as the wind blows, it just drags your amp into the water." Wait for it.

[@akashgupta-gz7vt]

We want the Chapman Booth !

[@bengarbutt4700]

akash gupta Now up

[@vinasilvianimarindasemm6044]

Relics.

[@Dudeinacube]

Is that Seymour Duncan? 8:01

[@csnshadow5757]

Sorry if I sound pretty stupid, but why aren't companies using rosewood anymore??

[@Vaarchon]

Pete's response to The Captain asking him to go to the gym with him in the morning is my response to whenever anyone asks me that question

[@midotvadventure504]

How much is regular tickets??

[@isabella6513]

These all look gorgeous but what makes a guitar beautiful is how it sounds. Seems like it's all flash and no substance.

[@mickeysigrist]

Unnatural relic sucks, sorry to say. If you didn't play to have that, it doesn't count.

[@maxscardanelli6185]

Mickey Sigrist You couldn't be more spot-on man.

[@amorecredibleusername692]

Mickey Sigrist it's a matter of preference. The person playing it probably doesn't give a fuck what any of us are saying about it.

[@LukePuzzar234]

Its like putting f hole stickers on a guitar.... just why?

[@trigmachine]

Fed up of pretty much all manufacturers, just make a quality guitar without all the bullshit..... Make a tele, make a strat, if the woods happen to have a different grain or finish big deal just sell it without the inflated prices
