I know the feeling about guitars speaking to me, too. I was at a shop in Ghent, en tried out a Hagstrom Deuce. I was sold in a matter of seconds. I didn't have any money on me then, so I returned the week after, and the guitar was sold, it sucked balls. Two weeks after tho, I saw the exact guitar, like literally the same guitar, second hand. Bought it in an instant, and stil love it

I once asked a fellow guitar player, "How do I know what guitar I should buy?" and he said, "You just know." I didn't really understand exactly what he meant until I experienced it. Its an incredible phenomenon that is completely unexplainable.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. Back in 2000 I was in a place where i could buy any guitar i wanted. (Im a les paul fan) I went to a guitar shop close by that id been in a thousand times. (Its now closed and gone) they had an enormous selection of les pauls hanging up It was raining like hell. Store was dead. These guys treated me like I was a king. They sat me on a stool in front of a nice tube amp, properly cranked. And they took every les paul they had down and handed them to me one by one. It was the best music store experience ive ever had man. They had the from 900 bucks to 15 grand. All kinds of pauls. I played them all. BUT......there was one that just felt like it was born in my hands. I kept going back to it over and over. It was a 2000 gary moore signature les paul. Not the most expensive or the cheapest. But to this day its the best playing and best sounding les paul ive ever picked up. I still have it.

You spoke about how you would feel if your guitar was stolen. I have the same exact thoughts. I dont gig or anything, I'm just a beginner. It would ruin me if anything happened to my strat. I was playing the other day and it suddenly stopped working, I went full blown panic mode like I had lost a child or something lol.. it turned out to be a bad cable. It's cool to know I'm not the only one who takes their guitar so seriously. Some weekend days I'll literally practice for 14 hours in a day. I just want to be able to express myself through the guitar like you. I have no plans of gigging or anything, I cant really explain it, I just love it and want to get better. Hopefully one day I'll be half as good as you

I know the feeling. Tried out an awesome strat that played and sounded pretty much perfect for me, except for the price. So I got home and checked local listings for used guitars and saw the same one I played in store, and another which was a limited edition version. Went to check it out a couple of days later and voila I now have what is pretty much the perfect strat since it was almost perfect condition, cheap and hardly played. Definitely agree that guitars can speak to you, had a couple of these revelations prior to this when buying my acoustic and les paul haha :)

Man I agree with you, when you get that special feeling which nobody else will really understand, with a certain guitar, just the feel of it, and sound makes you smile everywhere inside and keeps bouncing around in your whole body, that is priceless... life is way too short, now I just have and play 2 guitars, sold all the rest!! For me, playing these favourite ones is pure pleasure, as I have said, time doesn't wait for ANYONE, our existence on this planet earth is sooo damn short that I figure why not just experience THE best pleasurable feeling with the best fulfilling guitar. Also knowing that they will last more than I, freaks me out a tad. As no one in the future ( when I am not around) will understand them as I do, or take care of them like I do, or even make them talk as I do!!!! That's why I take advantage and play them (the 2 guitars) as much as I can, every single day. Great video as always my friend. :-) :-) :-)

It's great seeing what people's favourite guitars are. .I can't even remember what year I started playing, let alone the month. My Dad was/ is a musician and still doing film and TV drama music at 70 .I was always surrounded by guitars. I remember my brother knocking over one of my dad's Les Pauls and snapping the headstock(which I've done since a number of times) I started out on a Ukulele aged around 7-8. I collect guitars and basses. My first good guitar was an early Fender Mustang which sadly got stolen. My favourite has to be between 2 very different guitars. A 1983 Japanese Fender 57 JV and a Steinberger GU series(The one with the strat style body). It's hard to pick a favourite(I do like Telecasters and The LP JNR for their simplicity). People always ask me why I own so many instruments and it's because they all sound so vastly different. Choosing the Steinberger may not be to everyone's taste but it feels like it was made for me. I collect analogue pedals too.

A 1988 Charvette was in my pawn shop around 1991. A baby blue Strat thing with one humbucker, and no bells or whistles. That one really spoke to me. Fantastic sound even if it was ugly. The thing is, it begged everyone to play it. Business was slow, and I really needed to make some sales, but I DID NOT want this thing to leave me. I figured I'd just tell the wife that it was a "cheap" guitar and nobody wanted it.....this way I could keep it. So a local who'd had his eye on it for a month came in on payday with a wad of cash. I quoted a ridiculously high price and he took it. A great sale that I'm still sick over.

Late comment. MY fave guitar is also a Mex Fender strat. Metallic red with Duncan Pearly Gates bucker added. Also, like this one it is loud unplugged - almost like an acousticy sound. Don't know whether tonewood matters in electrics, but it is resonant and sounds the best -of my guitars- amplified. The range seems better.

I had that happen to me too...I had just purchased a strat and I was in the shop the following week to buy strings or something and the guy behind the counter was noodling on a used and slightly banged up classic vibe tele. I asked if I could try it and fell instantly in love. I got home and couldn't stop thinking about it and called the shop and begged them to hold it for me as I would return the strat the next day and grab the tele. They agreed and the rest is history.

After all the searching of the right pups for my strat, I think I have to keep the ones on mine though it’s just the stock ones (fender vintage style singles coils).

I was too stupid to realize my favorite guitar was "it" when I got it. I had just gotten a new Les Paul and wanted to unload my old one so I took a used Strat in a 1:1 trade because it was the same color as the one Mick from guitarist/TPS had, and because it was a "CS" guitar I figured the value was roughly equivalent. I didn't realize until I got home and plugged it in and was completely, absolutely blown away that I had accidentally just gotten a first year Cunetto relic and that I'd found a guitar that someone will have to pry out of my cold dead hands.

I'm quite interested in the whole "special guitars" thing. What is it about one Strat that makes it so different to another one? After all, you have a few. Can you pin it down? Where does the Peter Green Les Paul stand on your faves list? Love the playing. As always.

The only thing i can say that makes this guitar more special is the amount of time i have spent playing it and the fact that when i do play it just speaks to me in a way that no other guitar does. Its a very hard thing to pin down to be fair and i'm not sure really how to word it. I hope that makes sense. :) Do you mean the actually peter green Les Paul or my Vintage? Thank you very very much. :)

er.. I probably mean the Vintage, don't I? I'd have to go back to look at your unboxing video to check what I mean!

I saw what you said above regarding not changing the trem, but even so, I highly recommend checking out Wudtone's website; they make a replacement trem plate that's otherwise identical, but has beveling underneath where it rides on the 6 screws, COMPLETELY beating the 'return-to-zero' problem. I imagine you lube your nut and all that already but this plate works 100% all the time even if you don't. Anyway, just a suggestion...

I recently got Tex Mex pups. But they have a pole height different from other TM pups. On the back, they generally look like all TM, except for these poles. Stagered is different. In your opinion, is it possible that there are fake TM pups?

Hey dude nice playing. What radius is that 60s mim strat?. I've got a 60s lacquer 2015 sunburst mim strat. Fender didn't do mim lacquer finished instruments until 2013, so that must be a poly finish
@thedavesimpson8 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much and i have no clue what the radius is I'm afraid. Its vintage spec i guess. The guitar indeed has a poly Lacquer finish. Thank you very much for watching. :)

I don't mean to sound cheesy, but I think fate brought you to that guitar. Think about it, the one you wanted had just sold as you got there AND it was made a month before you started playing O.o
@thedavesimpson7 жыл бұрын
That doesn;t sound cheesy at all. I agree. Its just a little to coincidental. :)
