The long, more or less unedited video format is at least very appreciated by me so pls keep it up!

[@Rob-vk3ss]

I always play Mexican Strats. Sometimes they are hit or miss but usually they are players and kick ass guitars. Glad to hear your out playing

[@patrickkeenan6331]

I'm drooling over both the Gun Metal Gray AND the White strat...both beauties from when Fender was really starting to get awesome. After that, they bought Jackson, Charvel and Gretsch, and became one of the best Big Manufacturers.

[@markdalton6662]

And I looked it up and it is not in the fender library so it might be a partscaster , maybe a squire neck or body

[@gene_takavic57]

Nice clean up, Zimm!

[@robertruiz9046]

Enjoyed the new store. Thanks for the tour. I'll be back for that Gretsch!

[@f3uibeghardt522]

That looks exactly like my American Standard Strat in Charcoal Frost Metallic. Even has the same black plastics and maple fretboard.

[@TheUniversalEyes]

I like the long videos, for many it's like ASMR. I also like Reo Speedwagon and STYX. Great bands!

[@rogertinker1813]

Thanks Dane,

[@vinniesworld459]

Great work giving a second life to this beauty. Love the color! If I were in the area, this would be an easy candidate for a humbucker strat project. Btw, please keep the long form! I watch your shorts too, but really appreciate the longer content.

I had a sweet MIM 2001 metallic green and I wish I could rewind time & tell myself not to sell it because it’s worth more than what I was getting for it. GC ripped me off “Big Time”. I literally just wasn’t as educated enough about guitar value then like I am now a day’s. Still wished I had it “To This Day” because of the value that they still have. Made a great cleaner upper this old axe did. Excellently done my old friend lol, nothing unusual about that though. Thanks for sharing all of these restringing video’s with us bro and have a Happy Holiday season.. 🥂!! Until next time…. Stay safe, Stay metal, and don’t forget to riff.?! 🤘🏻👍🏻🔥🎸🎅🏻

[@markbailey2374]

Awesome video as always, what did you use to clean that mucker off of the fretboard? Came out fantastic.

[@Echoplex5150]

Have the same guitar with a rosewood fretboard. Another great video 🤘🔥

[@richardayala3748]

Beautiful guitar

[@BuckyCrittenden]

Awesome video! I have always loved fender Mexican stratocasters. 👍 👍

[@markdalton6662]

It's actually called gun metal grey

[@robs3253]

That axe was well loved

[@austinjosef41]

I got a squier jazzmaster hh I’m customizing. I want to repaint it and give it witch hat knobs. Hope the second store is working out! See ya!

[@Toejammer62]

They haven't been REO since Gary Richrath left. Best album was "You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish", way better than High Infidelity IMO. Great video as always !

[@danfrye5130]

What are you asking for the Mexican strat gunmetal gray

[@jesterjigs9914]

New Mexican strat 700

[@EricCombs-s9s]

Gun METAL Blue Satin...nice player! 🤘

[@joeroganjosh9333]

When my friends bring me a guitar like this and ask if I’ll fix it up I’ll tell them “ this isn’t a guitar, it’s two pieces of wood and some wires, covered filth, neglect and ignorance. “

[@mikeyID]

Very Cool 😎 Dane

[@markdalton6662]

How come I can't find it when I look it up on the fender serial number lookup

[@Punisher6654]

Another good video.

[@Steve.Cutler]

Most guitars are shimmed? Really? I only see necks shimmed when its needed, usually on lower end guitars. Why would you shim it just to do it without checking to see if it needs it? And its gun metal grey

[@AndrewAHayes]

The tickets for gigs are priced ridiculously these days, I guess its a combination of greedy promoters ticket seller cartels and the band having to earn a living. back in the day most tours were album promotions and the majority of the audience would end up buying the album and so there wasn't a great emphasis to make big money on the gig as merch would earn money and the album sales.

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

Wow that fretboard really was dirty, amazing job cleaning it 100 % better than before…

[@fernachur]

same color as my car

[@JoeBat95]

Hell yeah

[@patrickshannon4516]

I'll give you two fifty for it since its Mexican strat American strat worth 350$ Mexican worth about 250$ and most used squire guitars are only worth about 120$ to 150$

[@kristopherkrahl1597]

Great vid Dane! Shhhh...go buy a guitar! 🤘🎸

[@deandee8082]

the neck cannot collapse I've never seen one that has shimmed like this, there are no forces pulling down between the screws, you do lose some contact tho so considerer that for resonance and tone.. that myth is all BS .. shim all you like fenner does . .

[@RevGerryRM]

It's gun steel gray! 🤨 You don't just shim the neck because you feel like it, you only shim the neck if it needs it!!! OMG, REALLY? 😠

[@Stuballs]

It's gun metal grey not gun steel grey so you got it wrong aswell. Did you get up on the wrong side of God yesterday??? Grumpy man 😅
