Reporting Back On My Surf Pearl Strat

My unboxing video of this guitar in upper right info card.
Was an open-box purchase from Musician's Friend.

[@thebluesrockers]

"Joe Cool" is one happy camper! It's awesome to see you score such a great deal on a well loved guitar. You deserve it. Thanks for all your video's. Peace.. Joe

What a find! There is nothing to not like about that guitar. Great tone, great color and nice playability.

[@danielferrer9464]

Got one from Musicians Friend today $599, changed the pickguard and plastics to white, even better look. Cheers

[@bellywitchproductions2183]

She's a beaut! I would love to try the tele in the same finish

[@chessrootslove9916]

Great looking axe Joe! It's hard to go wrong with a Player Series Fender - congratulations!

[@Smart-Alex]

Some Strat purists would never change to noiseless but I can’t stand it personally. Changed my 84 MIJ Strat pickups to Dimarzio Area pickups.

[@jimmyz2098]

Nice guitar for sure, Joe. I had one in my hands today, and just about took it out of the store. But opted instead for a Cherry Red Player Series Strat, that was sitting right next to it. Kind of a Candy Apple Red Trans ish... I loved em' both, but went with the red one. It's also a killer guitar. I love the Pplayer Series STrats. I think they're great guitars, and fair priced. You did good. Hope all is well.

[@AJgeartalk]

That Cherry Red Player is a beauty Jimmy! Great choice. Enjoy. Hope you are well brother.

[@RivieraOrthodontics]

I had that same guitar center/musicians friend exclusive in the previous iteration. Great guitar even though I ended up selling it. I do prefer my PRS silver sky but those Mexican Strats are still terrific. Enjoy and have a great week!

[@caseylee12]

Great sounding guitar, looks great, what's not to love? MIM Fender guitars are rent good, with no need to upgrade as is, unless you just want to. Congrats on your new strat!

[@zuperdee]

That’s a nice, colorful microphone! 😂

[@guitarzan0515]

Way to go Joe!! That’s a beautiful guitar! Enjoy💥👍

[@lhvent]

Nice guitar

[@uncleguitarnerd782]

Cool color

[@WickedFesterBand]

It’s beautiful! Nice score.

[@carpathus]

That is a nice guitar. Congrats.

[@SearchingForTone]

Surely a great find. 😎🤙

[@CKS64]

Sounds almost as good as a Tease.

[@CraigMJamieson]

I’m not big on green but that pearl green is very pretty! Pickups sound great and well balanced. So, Joe, when are you removing the pick guard decal?:)

[@AJgeartalk]

That's my OCD in action Craig! Keeping it for sure, just waiting until i'm ready to remove sticker...

[@CraigMJamieson]

@@AJgeartalk lol. I’m OCD as well … but not with stickers. If my guitars in stands or on the wall are not straight and aligned properly … I melt down:)

[@johnnynbk]

One of those lucky scores. Enjoy.

[@AJgeartalk]

Thanks Johhny! Be well brother.

[@bluwng]

I love that guitar and remember when it came out.

[@davidkastin4240]

Limited Edition is the color if I'm not mistaken. Sounds great, I like the pickups.

[@AJgeartalk]

Surf Pearl

[@jasondorsey7110]

​@@AJgeartalkI have a mustang bass in surf pearl, gorgeous finish, gratz on the buy

[@birdman316]

that strat is "disgustingly gorgeous" lol! term borrowed from dave simpson... sounds great too!

[@AJgeartalk]

Dave's THE man! Be well.

[@bluwng]

I think this color came out in 2020 and 21, don’t remember the 70th anniversary.

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

looks good. Hi question what's your opinion of Fender's acoustic electric line up? in my opinion I am not sure their line up out performs other guitar builders such as Gibson. I think Fender could use some improvements, but their electric guitars are killer

[@AJgeartalk]

Not crazy about their acoustics. Much better value with Ibanez, Yamaha, Orangewood in the budget acoustic arena IMHO.

[@SearchingForTone]

Hey Mr.Phats sir thank you for putting me onto the Squier Debut Tele, you catch any of the 2 videos I cut. Cheers 😎🤙

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

@@AJgeartalk yeah, your right...

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

@@SearchingForTone no, I didn't what did you find? I was thinking of waiting for the Debut to come on in the tele model for America & mod out the pick ups & turn it into a string though.. I pretty much have the parts for that..

[@SearchingForTone]

@@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow I can save you the views since you put me on to it. 1st one was dented and damaged. Bridge pickup didn’t work, 2nd one was pretty damn good. Also ordering from overseas is a crap shoot and very costly I’m still out the cost of the one guitar and shipping until Amazon gets it and then they issue a refund then I can submit for reimbursement of shipping almost $600 bucks to review a $139 guitar🤣

[@lhvent]

There is nothing wrong with made in Mexico. It's still a Fender.
