Pete is more impressed with the cases. Lol.

[@benlogan430]

Me too! Those cases are sweet!

[@lnugent1000]

Me too…. Those used guitars look like they’ve been drug behind a truck.

[@fortunatejeremy]

I love a nice guitar case

[@_avia_]

I cannot afford buying one, but fortunately I can pay for internet service, watch these unboxings and 🤤 Love it!

[@DMo1986]

You’ll get 1 soon enough if you want it enough

[@digsy1303]

Cracks me up. The case is immaculate and looking brand spanking new and the guitar looks like it has been towed behind a car for a day.

[@roughcutguitars]

Exactly this 😅

[@Poco1977]

I never understand the relics, if I want to beat it up then I’ll beat it up myself.

[@metroecco7908]

[@JAHarry6]

Yeah it looks way better when the relecing is actually done by playing.

[@fr2738]

It was my same reaction when buying a custom shop. I just wish that they also reliced the case .

[@lnugent1000]

I like the NOS it actually looks new. The other ones look worn out and in need of refurbishing.

[@daviddalziel884]

Every time Pete clunks his wedding ring on the necks !! Guitars are top drawer …. The NOS with the birdseye maple please . 😀

[@nathanielvargas3863]

These are the types of reactions that I want to see in an unboxing video.

[@blackie75]

I never stopped looking at the cherry burst Lesters at the back, the whole time 😁

[@jonhale1329]

Amazing looking shipment there - not going down the whole relic debate but the Journeyman sunburst is just awesome looking (and by the looks of it the first sold as its already gone!) -

[@toms5951]

The two Black relics are gorgeous, demo with them would be fantastic. As for StewMac they make great products, I've used several of their pickups and tools. They distribute other brands as well but their own really stands out.

[@GRBAquatics]

So Very Cool, Thankyou. Amazing Guitars. Cheers

[@melodious2261]

Man, that American custom strat is my type of guitar. 😄

[@VlrGuitarWorld]

Enjoy these unboxings a lot.. Please do a neck swap on classic vibe strat & custom shop strat.. 😊

[@basildog007]

I got an American Custom Stratocaster like the second one. Same specs. NOS in Ebony Trans. You forgot to mention the compound radius 9.5" to 12" radius!!! Dual Mag II pickups are amazing. If you don't want relic, this is your best modern option from the Custom Shop.

[@ashleyjackson8538]

Some amazing pieces in there .

[@kristanbenson803]

Swear if I could I’d buy a guitar everyday of the week… love’ em.

[@nicolasfaisant6445]

Kyle mc millan builts awsome relic guitars. The white and black over sunburst is a perfect example

Wow! What pieces of art that play and sound great I’m sure. Too much $$ for me but someone will be happy.

[@truthtorpedo99]

Man those masterbuilts look incredible. They are sadly out of my price range. Would love to own one tho

[@laivasimo8427]

Oh god one day i will blindly buy one of those sweet early 60´s strats they present like this. That´s on my lifegoals top 3 list. I have been watching these full of envy for years 😂

[@peejay6930]

I hope you get one my friend :o)

[@sordel5866]

I don't see the appeal myself but, hey, it's not many life goals that can be achieved with just £8500, so good luck to you!

[@stephandelaney4097]

I’m here for the cases. I want one. A tweed and red would be nice

[@starfighter2952]

The master built at 4:24 with the black inside case is cool as ice.

[@rohanlelliott3062]

Please do a video with you two playing these beautiful guitars.

[@RonRon888]

Between Pete’s coke sniffs and Lee shouting “what’s in the box” this could be my fave video.

[@ItsLomain]

Would it be possible to get a video at the end of each months where all the intro jams are put into a compilation. As someone who is studying for school or wants background guitar noise, this is would be awesome! (and a way to promote each video more)

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Out of all that, the semihollow Jazzmasters (bottom row) are what caught my fancy. I cannot decide if I want the orange burst, or blue burst.

[@craigthomson3621]

They are not Jazzmasters. They are PJD St John guitars (built in the UK).

[@planzed.2]

Maaan these over sunbursts look fantastic!!

[@chrisbarclay]

you guys gotta take them for a spin for us !😍

[@rowbags3017]

Nice! 😎I wonder why the reliced guitars don't come with similarly worn cases to complete the vintage illusion.

[@peejay6930]

The £50k Greeny does

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

And dead old worn strings 😄

[@keiranbradley3238]

The black strat with the African blackwood is rosewood, it's the densist rosewood on the planet (Dalbergia Melonoxia). It's use a lot in woodwind instruments, Oboes and the like. The Gary Moore Strat by the CS had it too, I prefer the look of dark Brazilian rosewood tbh, the ABW just looks pretty much identical to Ebony.

[@ryanpaul4833]

That first black one!!! Gawd I wish I was rich!

[@johndelong9230]

Pete is like, been there done that. Love the guy,

[@13coyote13]

Wonder if Josh had any influence with using the Stew Mac frets the same as he does on his Fender Strat re creation.

[@potholedcactus]

It would be good to have these unboxings with the builders so they can talk through their thought process for building.

[@GazMoz78]

Love the masterbuilt one's! Not keen on the price mind 😳 the white over ttsb is reminiscent of Philip Sayce's Mother guitar

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Gweneth Paltrow's Head ......is in the box.....sick scene..... Pete's got bed head.....nice choice's

[@benlogan430]

Some people like relics and some don’t. Those that do buy em. Choice is good!

[@donkingmamac6438]

Great guitars!

[@avatartube7]

Will you do these unboxings for Gibson Custom shop guitars too? Love these unboxing vids!

[@mickeybreezy]

Wow, 6 sunburst strats. They really are doing a lot of cool and different stuff over there at Fender.

[@hayleyhooper7523]

great video!!

[@BillWolfe]

Very cool.

[@Marcmcilroy]

[@gavterrygt]

Absolutely love anything reliced over a burst, and don’t care about the relic haters, to each their own I say 😉

[@rubbermyducky5998]

Absolutely. These guitars are sweet!

[@katapulte_en_vadrouille]

Hi Lee, What are your thoughts about these relic guitars in let's say 20 years ? Part of being master built what's your guess about what they will become on the market ? Hunt has already started on 80's Strats & co. What's the place of a 2020's relic one in the future ?

[@davidmahoherrezuelo]

This is the same stuff on Peach Guitars unboxings...love the NOS, puagh on relics.

[@TheAdventChronicles]

I find relic guitars are very hit and miss for me personally, but black over sunburst usually looks decent enough. I still prefer the idea of getting a new guitar and having every dink, bump, scratch etc all have a story.

[@roughcutguitars]

Damn! I can get behind that African Blackwood fingerboard - literally 😉

[@zeeb0w]

fun fact - george lowden fav combo is sinker redwood over african blackwood, which is a true rosewood

[@seantracy5624]

African Blackwood is the most common wood for Highland bagpipes

[@craigthomson3621]

Wish Fender also offered the NOS American Custom in a left-handed orientation.

[@EyecareBacklog1]

Excuse my ignorance, but the first one's headstock looks so much nicer because you can't see the Fender logo is obviously a sticker (in my opinion). I assume the others are like they are because that's how a genuinely aged one would look. Side point: if you do some Squier FSRs can you use the '70s headstock, because the Squier logo looks best on it (and the '70s range of colours has been small).

[@CagedPaps]

I'll take one of each, just stick it on my store credit, ta.

[@PurposefulPorpoise]

You guys should do ur own in house guitar brand, Andertone Guitars

[@casualintrovert207]

that journeyman is gold. I love how contrasty the sunburst is, and it has just the right amount of wear to it. Looks as if you just stole one of eric claptons strats lol

[@joshjamesuk]

That black over sunburst is SO NICE.

[@Paul-D]

ooooh very very nice!!!

[@nedludd3641]

Hans Christian Anderson (Danish?) wrote 'The Emperor's New Clothes'. Maybe The Captain can read an extract from the story whilst Danish Pete plays a heavily relicked guitar.

[@gavterrygt]

Boring

[@nedludd3641]

@@peejay6930 - yeah, but the relicking is manufactured by master builders? How about just making wonderful instruments and letting time, musicians and constant use do the relicking? Did Stradivarius relic his violins?

That “brand no one cares about” comment from Pete gave me a chuckle. Pretty peachy. 😅

[@brianlonjak9424]

I will never understand paying so much for a rough looking guitar! I appreciate some do tho

[@NikolajHansen]

I just don't get the relic thing.. If you find an actual old guitar and it is well loved - fine. But buying a new one that looks like it was tossed down a set of stairs 10 times. I just don't get it 🙂

[@alexpetrie4860]

I don't get it either. Relic doesn't make a guitar "vintage". Might just be a trend that will fade away with time. Sucks that it's actually harder to find NOS guitars than relics nowadays in my experience.

[@NikolajHansen]

@@alexpetrie4860 also I have to wonder, when this fad is no more, will such a guitar keep it's value?

[@LifeEnjoyer463]

For me it's not about looking vintage at all, I just think it looks sick. I also don't want to wait 20 years for my guitar to look like a journeyman relic just for the sake of being authentic.

[@DMo1986]

It’s aim is to give you the ‘feel’ of A heavily used aged guitar, electric guitars are like fine wines, they do get better with age.

[@brucerichard2904]

When they took out the NOS sunburst, I thought, that's the one. I don't see a reason to pay all that money for a relic. Then they opened the black over burst master built....

[@bkmeahan]

no, everyone doesn't love relic. Give me an NOS or new one any day.

[@stratman9449]

seems there are more "masterbuilders" and "customizers" than ordinary guitar assemblers at fender these days....

[@peejay6930]

The up charge from "custom shop" to "Masterbuilt" is relatively small, if I was buying one I would definitely stretch to the masterbuilt

[@nicknewman7848]

It's easier to buy something off the shelf in a store if you can find the right guitar. If you go through the process with fender to make your own 'custom shop' the prices start at about £3,500.. 'Masterbuild' starts at about £7000. If you're not an important person it will likely take about 18 months for you to receive your guitar too.

Guess it's a boomer thing but I don't get paying premium money for a relic guitar. I rather own a guitar that earned its hard years of being played, that's where the mojo is for me. Oh, well to each their own. 👍

[@VapnFagan]

Not everyone plays in a band, or goes on the road. Some people just like to play in there bedroom or basement. No way for a guitar to achieve that worn-in, relic, aged look of the road. So why not build a guitar that looks and feels like it has been on the road for years? Its a genius idea. It also feels better in the hands and normally sounds better..

[@MrPrincepop]

@@VapnFagan With all due respect my friend, I don't see it that way. Looks, feels, and sound is subjective to the player, not because relicking guitars has become fashionable. I recently purchased a Fender ST-67 Strat Reissue MIJ, built in 1997. The guitar was well played and to me has that mojo. Paid under a grand for it. However, my point is why not buy an actual guitar that earned it's relic looks from years of playing. That seems more authentic to me. I will concede that you take a chance buying used. But it isn't the first time I didn't 'get it'. I'am facinated how tatlented these custom shops are in recreating these the relic look! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have a good day.
