Nitro Finish & Custom Shop Pickups for How Much?! - Fender FSR Road Worn

[@jimmyb4728]

Good morning guys, first I wanna say I luv your channel you always show best gear as soon as it comes out. My question is during your opening jam you guys were using an envelope filter, which one was it, if you don't mind me asking. Peace guys

[@andertons]

Thanks for watching! That was the Way Huge WM92 Smalls Attack Vector Phaser & Envelope Pedal :D Check it out here | tinyurl.com/2gxfdemz

@Andertons Music Co damn thats a mouthful. Thanks for the info, is that the new one you just featured like a week ago. Anyway thanks again be safe Andertons peoples have a GRATEFUL weekend ✌️😎😁💨💨💨🐢🐻

[@Tomurow]

I don’t know why but I love the Tele neck on a Strat body…. My mum was always worried I was a wrong’n.😂

[@embee1706]

Ah man, I do love that nitro finish. Cool colours too! Would absolutely get one, but without the fake wear. That way the guitar would eventually tell its own story, instead of that of a piece of sandpaper. That's just my opinion though and I totally get why people really like the look of these.

[@conorfurlong]

For what it’s worth, I would definitely buy a nitro Mexican Fender without the factory roadworn effect. If it came with accidental cracks during shipping or whatever, no problem, I just think the factory ‘roadworn’ effect looks a bit fake. I like the look of a beaten up guitar, it’s just that “roadworn” doesn’t look like an old beaten up guitar, it looks like a new guitar that’s been deliberately damaged for a visual effect. One of the things that bothers me about roadworn is the matte finish of the body. Vintage guitars aren’t matte, they’re still shiney. If Fender could offer nitro non-roadworn in addition to roadworn, that would be great.

[@charlesbolton8471]

They used to do Special Runs of non Roadworn Nitro pretty often in the Classic line before it got replaced by the Vintera line. As far as I know they haven’t offered it yet on a non Road Worn Vintera.

[@conorfurlong]

@@charlesbolton8471 I didn’t know that. Interesting. Hopefully they do it again. I suspect nitro non-roadworn would be very popular.

[@Jamie_kemp]

I agree, although I just ended up getting a road worn one and hopefully my own wear will slowly make it look a bit more natural. I’m pretty sure Lee said once that the Mexican factory nitro finish just isn’t good enough to offer without factory wear to cover that up, so it’s probably unlikely unfortunately.

[@conorfurlong]

@@Jamie_kemp I’d be interested to know how the roadworn ages over time. I know someone who bought one 3 years ago and plays a lot in a band but the guitar hasn’t aged since and looks identical to when he bought it. It doesn’t seem to be as easy to wear in as some people claim.

[@Jamie_kemp]

@@conorfurlong I’m also interested, it’s nice not being precious about it at the very least to be honest

[@philjones8693]

Thank you guys for the ultimate big muff 70s pron soundtrack with that intro! Shagalicous!

[@oliox8685]

I bought the first 60s roadworn series in Olympic White then added 65 custom shop pickups and a cold rolled steel trem block. Best strat I have ever played and I have had tons from MIJ to AVRI. I was lucky enough to get a 2 piece center joined body and flamed maple neck on mine...obviously someone picked some good bits! And let's not forget the compulsory tone pot mod so the bridge pickup is useable.

[@lexusuk7901]

Got a lot of time for how loose Pete keeps his right arm when strumming. A lesson to us all, and Lee is very lucky to spend so much time with him. I'd love to watch him beating eggs and whipping cream. Maybe a spin-off cooking show would be popular; it could be titled 'Honore on The Hob'.

[@BillWolfe]

These look really cool. I like that the worn part is minimal. I bet they are fun to play!

[@sponeal7360]

I bought the 60s vintera road worn strat when they first came out and I absolutely LOVE it. It's become my main guitar ever since. I might just need to consider swapping for these pickups haha

[@peterwaringofficial]

I see from the links that there’s an Olympic White 70’s model with Custom Shop 69 pickups - would *love* to hear/see a demo of that one vs the Texas Specials 👍 PS thanks for all the great videos!

[@ces69]

@Mr Nobody Which pickups, the Custom shop 69’s or the Texas Specials?

[@easydoesit5742]

I have an srv strat with TS and prefer pretty much all the custom shop pickups over it lol they are way too hot to sound anything like a vintage guitar. The 90s model Texas specials in mine can sound good in certain scenarios (very few) but they don’t clean up well and seem to be too overwound (mid heavy) for what I’ve come to realize a vintage guitar “should” sound like. Slightly underwound neck and middle pickup around 5-6k resistance and a slightly hotter bridge pickup 6-7k make for an amazing setup. I assume you want a vintage sound because you’re inquiring about a vintage guitar but I could be wrong I can help point you in the right direction on a set of pickups if you tell me what kind of genre or sound you’re looking to get from them?

[@Sensates85]

I love Roadworns. Such a joy to see Captain and co still rocking the channel after many years!

[@ledheavy26]

For all you wanting a nitro finish on your old Mexican Fender, just buy a spray can nitro kit from Stew Mac or other similar outlet. I've done it on a buddy's Squier (4 color tobacco burst) and it turned out fantastic and looks even better today than it did when I finished it a couple years ago (no it hasn't "relic'd", the finish is just starting to fade nicer together. I'm definitely going to do it with my recently acquired used Mexican strat someone set up with American hardware and pickups. Deals are to be had out there people.

[@jackgarland28]

How do you take the urethane coat off without damaging the paint before applying the nitro?

[@ledheavy26]

@@jackgarland28 You take all the paint off. I used a heat gun and a scraper and then sanded down the body to the bare wood.

Are the damaged ones on discount?

I've got a 2019 MiM RW strat. I love this guitar to the moon and back, recommend! But it's really funny how the relicing has the EXACT same pattern on every guitar :)

[@shaun64vet]

They will eventually differ depending on how hard people use them.

[@edwardprete]

Bc they’re all being done off templates. They also age oddly as there is a poly clear base under the “nitro”.

[@Echoes-]

@@edwardprete There is not a poly clear base under the nitro, I have had one for 14 years and a lot of the original olympic white color is gone now after hundreds if not thousands of hours playing it, and I can assure you, it's bare wood.

[@edwardprete]

@@Echoes- the new ones do

[@edwardprete]

@@Echoes- also just for clarity, I should have said a poly "sealer" (which is clear) not to be confused with a clearcoat.

[@hazzerlad1065]

I would kill for some FSRs with matching headstocks, especially some teles as you don't see that very often.

[@PhilDietz]

how about a RW nashville tele? Has there ever been one of those? And then add a matching headstock.

[@marcoferreira4576]

I Love the smell of Nitro in the morning!

[@DudeMcGuybro]

I have a purple mischief maker FSR I ordered from Andertons, and it's my favorite guitar by miles. If you get one, you won't be disappointed, that's for sure. Also the radius is 7.25 on the tele style necks. Very comfortable, and I'm used to super shredder Ibanez/Jackson necks. Weird, right?

[@Echoes-]

The early 2008-2011 Road Worns was the best, not only did they have real rosewood, they also had a much more extensive relicing job and more desired colors like Olympic White and Sunburst.

[@mattheweady615]

[@S_Bellew]

Texas Specials were not intended as something new for SRV which he didn't have a chance to try. The pickups are a replica of the pickups which he was already using and they were intended for his signature Strat. SRV was using a standard pre-1998 57-62 pickup set. The resistance tolerance at that time was relatively high, so all what SRV has done is that he handpicked a 57-62 pickup set with resistance deviations that delivered the sound he wanted. The target value for 57-62 pickups was 6K, the tolerance was plus/minus 10%. Then they selected higher deviations from the target value for bridge and the lower ones for neck and middle. SRV picked 5.94K for neck, 6.27K for middle and 6.56K for bridge, and that's what SRV had in his Number One. All of what Fender had to do to design Texas Specials is to use their standard 57-62 pickup set and calibrate it to resistances chosen by SRV. That's all what Texas Special pickups really are. Technically they are still 57-62s, because Texas Specials' resistance is still within tolerance for the pre-98 57-62s (5.4K - 6.6K). Technically it is correct to say that the original Number One was loaded with Texas Specials.

Spraying Nitro in California is generally not allowed and is problematic at best, but not so in Mexico. So if you want a new Fender with Nitro, odds are its Mexican. Fun fact - the Fender factories are less than 200 miles apart.

Would be nice if they come out with a separate line where it was just nitro (no dings etc) so you can age it yourself, not bad value considering custom shop pickups etc. I don't see the problem paying 1200 for the Mexican made, there's really not that big a difference, in some cases the cheapest US made are worse quality than MIM. It's not like ppl will know or even care you're playing one over the other at the same price point.
