Uptown Strat Gon' Give It To You! - NEW Fender Parallel Universe II Uptown Strat

[@hawedehre]

I like this Les Strat.

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

Me too.

[@Fonkemman]

Same here.

[@jambajoby32]

Stratopaul lol

[@I_like_turtles_67]

It's like a Fender Fanboy REALLY wants a LP. But he's afraid his friends will shun him if he buys one.

[@Hickeroar]

Lespaulocaster

[@notarealperson87]

Lee's guitar playing ability follows the arc of Superman's superpowers. when we were first introduced he could just jump over a building or outrun a train, but now he's time travelling and shooting lasers.

[@anxiousmindmusic]

Whenever I think I'm too old to learn to play the guitar better I remember Lee's probably 10 years older than me and learning at an insane rate while running a business and being a dad...

[@ledhendrix5054]

@@anxiousmindmusic I think its Pete making Lee's playing better , when I first started way back in the 80s I was going to give up within six months , then my sisters best friends boyfriend played in a band , I started hanging out with them and getting lessons and my playing just went through the roof. If you get the chance hang out and jam with better players , it rubs off on you. Most important thing is do not get into bad habits when you first start playing.

[@slimerik4032]

You completely missed that you can actually coil tap the uptown strat with push pull pots (on the tone controls if i'm not mistaken). It adds a LOT of extra tonal capability, opens it up a lot

[@markleveson6093]

Indeed so. Surely that's one of the main features of this guitar 🤔 But I'll stick with my Les Paul's for now. Cheers chaps 🎸🎸

[@benlogan430]

When will they finally add triple push/pull knobs or more so we could have a bad version of every pickup in a single guitar?!?!?

[@kitoyobeni1]

@@benlogan430 These are true taps, not just dropping a coil. If you watch Trogly's review, the taps only lose about 1/3 of their output. That bridge pickup is really hot too, about twice as hot as the neck pickup.

[@liamplunkett5100]

Yeah but I think if anyone is interested in the guitar they'll find out themselves... but having researched the guitar already, I also thought it was a bit weird that they didn't demonstrate it

[@doczik]

No reply from them about that??!!

[@jwilder2251]

Lee isn’t just jamming or riffing or noodling anymore, he’s making MUSIC, and it sounds damn good.

[@charlesclark3840]

That last minute or so of the intro jam just killed.

[@YummyPork]

He's playing like he has a plan.

[@rexsolomon6325]

That's because it's no longer Chappers - its Maestro Danish Pete teaching Lee with every jam.

[@JonWickensMusic]

That Uptown Strat is a thing of beauty! I really hope they make it a longer term model.

[@Fonkemman]

This is why Fender is great.

[@jameshouchin5086]

One of Pete's BEST SOLOS!! WOW!

[@BenKrisfield]

The Troublemaker and the Uptown are my favourites out of those line of guitars.

[@EricCPOP]

Unbelievable how the Cap has progressed. He's transcended to the level where you can't really be surprised by how tasteful his licks are now: it's expected.

[@rexsolomon6325]

It's because he is playing regularly with Danish Pete.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Captain's guitar playing is stunning. Proud to think I was around when he was a pup.

[@alexscott7226]

Exit jam one of the best ever... exceptional guys

[@sbutler66]

Love the parallel universe offerings, these are just gorgeous!.. and Captain!! Wow, playing great!!

[@eevee_p]

Some day I wish to ascend to the level of Blues Dad that The Captain has achieved

[@hawedehre]

Eevee P keep on watching the videos. I think you can achieve this.

[@musicmuseacademy4613]

Me too, maybe in a parallel universe...

[@stanislavmigra]

Jaming along great players like Pete and supported by good teacher like Justin and anyone can achieve that level... Finding good jaming bud as the difficult part tho ...

[@cordero6960]

and if you did....try to ascend higher to the Blues Big Daddy aka Pete Honore...dang these two are killing it

[@dylandenney3980]

I'm not even a dad and I'd be thrilled

[@tomasdubienski1926]

That one Pete is playing in the intro looks really sweet! Sounds awesome too

[@jaysonmakesmusic]

I’m amazed at how great of a player Lee has become!

[@patstevens4560]

The parallel universe series is my favorite line of guitars in a while. Cool ideas that are well made. Just hope Fender keeps it going so I can afford a model someday 😂

[@amaury1828]

Your french pronunciation of « pedal » was actually good !! Great video !! cheers from France

[@ddpphoto]

That uptown Strat is one seriously great sounding Fender. Total mojo.

[@jacoblim6621]

I think there is a lot of potential with those wide range humbuckers.

[@digitalchris6681]

Fifties Modified Tele Which "them"? And why no likey?

[@sgtmac62]

Nice licks Lee

[@alejandrochavarria7096]

For those wondering why people don’t like the wide range humbuckers, they’re essentially just regular humbuckers in the bigger wide range cover. Look up DylanTalksTones video on wide range humbuckers.

[@LousReview]

Quite simply love all three of those Parallel Universe models you have there. Loving the sound of that Uptown.

[@johnjgibson6807]

It’s Always Good To Listen To You Guys While On Lunch Break At Work It Just Makes The Day Better 👍👍🎶🎶🎸

[@KasimierzOff]

What an intro jam! Captain Lee and Danish Pete sure could throw an album at my face, I surely would buy it.

[@danielversion1.035]

This is my new favourite channel on KZbin... and i'm really annoyed at myself for only discovering it about 2 months ago... but at least that much good came from 2020! Rock on guys!

[@Will008]

I hope they bring these back out one day.

[@stephencarey6114]

This video made me smile.....A lot. Killed it boys. Thank you.

[@aryotaheri7421]

That uptown strat seems great for some fusion. Assuming the feels is good and all that.

[@northernbrother1258]

This is my dream guitar! I'm primarily a Las Paul man, I like humbuckers, but I like the whammy bar and just the look of a Strat...and thus is the perfect combination.

[@RJBeatlefan]

I've been watching the lessons that Lee did with Justin and the ones with Pete and Ariel before that while hoping to get some tips to up my guitar playing as well. The captain has come such a great long way in terms of confidence and his playing!

[@Sebastianvgo]

Where can I find those?

[@RJBeatlefan]

@@Sebastianvgo You can find them sequenced out on the Justin guitar website (you may want to search for rut busters or the captains privates). And the lessons with Pete and Ariel can be found if you scroll back to late 2017 on the Andertons youtube channel.

[@jamesortiz5388]

Good job Pete and captain. Thank you Andertons!

[@pressonc]

That last jam?! Holy moly. That was some wicked brilliant screaming guitar genius.

[@MrPinkStrat]

Best sounding Strat Ive Heard

[@derekgonzales]

Killer tones from all 3 guitars! Keep it up, guys!

[@belo1971]

Superb strat ! The white finish is awesome

[@richardhowell9535]

If I was in the UK, within 100 miles of Andertons, I would be at your store every day. You guys are great....OH! and I'd get one of those uptowns!

[@massimobargagna5641]

Up townSstrat looks & sounds WICKED! good job Pete!

[@chrisflores8362]

That feedback from Pete is immense!! Great sounding guitar!

[@digitalchris6681]

Only heard that howl from unpotted pu's. Surely Fender aren't doing that, so wonder what's the secret of the new "imitation wide-range" pu's?

[@blueb4sunrise]

Love the sounds that Pete is getting out of the uptown funky-wunk strat. ❤️😎

[@edwinstovall3334]

I would nearly KILL for one of those Uptown Strats! Most of the Parallel Universe stuff has been a tad too quirky for my tastes, or quirky in the wrong directions. This one is nearly perfect. I could wish for the Strat belly cut, and I might be interesting in a Floyd version; the idea of a Bigsby, however, strikes me as "Meh!" A TOM (Adjust-O-Matic) bridge with a stoptail might be really good, too. Out of all the "mashup" style guitars that Fender has done for the last few years, this one in particular screams for regular production and for expansion into the Squier realm, where I'm sure it would prove really popular. If Fender doesn't see it that way, I may try to crib my own together -- less the spectacular finish, of course!

[@brocluno01]

That Uptown is spectacular - I gotta get me one !!

[@glaucosouza1971]

Pete got the same feedback note as the intro to UFO's Let it Roll. Cool!! 😎

[@timfletch]

man o man that strat paul is FANtastic!!!

[@BladeDoomer86]

Wow.. Amazing tones guys, fantastic intro

[@PatronSaintSpyridon]

man that guitar is wonderful. Uptown Strat.

[@Fonkemman]

When you want a humbucking strat but don't want a superstrat.

[@banjo7598]

If they offered that uptown strat in a flat daphne blue I’d have one so quick it would make your head spin. Killer sounding guitar.

[@joelewisband879]

I really dig the p90 strat..killer tone great playing.....😎👍👍

[@Its_me_3333]

Ok Pete’s strat actually looks freak’n badass!!!!!

[@StephenOshea]

uptown strat is amazing wow

[@tjnugent62]

Another epic jam for the ages...

[@frabber321]

That was a MAD performance, wow!

[@philfyphil]

Humbuckers in the static white look like ones in my old 1970 Thinline, they sounded gorgeous.

[@gavinleyfield3195]

that Uptown Strat is the first new production fender I have wanted in a long time.

[@kingstumble]

The white Strat sounds like it's got one of those Fernandes Sustainer things built in.

[@brooklynboy1000]

== i cant stand when people use weird effects when all you want is to hear a clean tone

[@benlogan430]

Now that is a cool strat! I’d prefer it with a Hardtail, but I know it’s not about me all the time. Then I remembered I can just block the trem and change to black and silver top/top hat knobs and my perfect strat!!! A Sunday post made my day! Thankie...

[@lsmgaming0151]

Anyone else notice him miss the whammy at 1:34? Great jams as always guys

[@SRstudios73]

Now that was an outro !!!!! 🤘 😎 🤘

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

6:20 is the perfect explanation of a test bench. You put the item being tested in use with other items that are the best in those fields to see how it interacts with those things. If the guitar was actually bad it would just suck on a good amp and sound even worse on a bad amp lol. But people just don’t understand that I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@fusionfan6883]

Pete has invented a new signature sound - that guitar, amp, pedal combo is amazing!

[@lulubigdad33]

these jams are gold

[@snaggiz]

I really quite like the look of it, pretty classy look and of course, it sound great especially when you guys are playing!

[@samuelxavier2473]

Nice to see Pete's playing authentic. :D

[@The_austinmiller]

Ok can I just say that the captain’s brown high tops are SO cool

[@chriscarrillo967]

Ending jam reminded me of the Home Depot ad song haha Great guitar! Sounds and looks very unique

[@sergiogarcia18]

Finally, the stratopaul

[@alanohagan6999]

That uptown Strat will fly it’s completely awesome 😎

[@themardlers133]

Pete’s playing on that into was just ridiculous!

[@brandonproctor3639]

Oh my! I love this STRAT!

[@drloqutis2492]

With those pickups the 2 point trem makes perfect since

[@alexoliva5648]

You got me at block inlays.

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

Pete's playing reminds me a lot of Mark Knopfler, because of the dynamics, and having phrases of a few notes followed up by long sustained notes and silences

[@valebliz]

I'd really like an HH tele with those kind of pickups, kinda like the macmull heartbreaker neo, but at reasonable prices.

[@JesseLeeKing]

I like that tremolo on the uptown strat

[@dgarrr2]

Lee is playing amazingly here! I do have to point out a funny moment though, at 1:32 he reaches for where the trem is on a normal strat and misses completely cause of the jazzcaster hahah

[@lorcanfitzpatrick6019]

A bass in this series would be amazing

[@DanRelayer_Ukraine]

the outro jam is just FAYAH! It's like Neil Young with Crazy Horse level of goodness, in a big part to those vibrato sounds that Lee was getting out of that Dorado.

[@floridamankyle5461]

Its Chewsday init? That Uptown Strat is my favorite Strat of them all, double hums, individual Vom/Tone controls, a faint paintjob showing the grain, Fender needs to keep this and the Spark-o-Matic Jazzmaster around those are my 2 favs.

[@proudtexan8521]

Excellent playing, Cap. Also, it would be great if Amazon would do a Prime Day deal on these LOLOLOLOLOL That blue one has a pretty nice Pensa vibe to it.

[@richardcstockley]

How different is this to the Troublemaker Tele? Is it just the same thing with a trem and strat body?

[@humstrumbangtwang]

The best sounding guitar on the channel.......ever?

[@sebasvago]

Great jams. I loved

[@kowalguitarlife9119]

Good day to you both....coffee cups up...cheers.

[@jimmygillard]

That was a great jam at the start.

[@sayantanutbe]

Great jam! Pete's guitar is great, whatever it's called.

[@lisadaly8777]

I want a tab for what the captain did at the start there

[@mondi6077]

I love this guitar and I ordered it yesterday and hope the neck feels good. I can report then gladly also times. Friday she should come.

[@ellleigh1216]

That HH strat kinda gives me Pete Thorn signature Suhr vibes, I like it.

[@SamsonFRYT]

They really should Squier all those quirky guitars.

[@seb5542]

Or at the very least make cheaper fender ones. Which would actually be pretty cool, as they seem to just make them squire versions after they've made high end fender ones, not to say they aren't good (because squires can be great) but it would be nice to have an in-between.

[@stop736]

It would be nice if they threw a few of these to lefty’s also. I’m not saying make thousands of them, but damn Fender, besides a Cobain or a Hendrix artist guitar comes in a lefty. The other thousand of different artists they’re giving guitars to are only right handed. You’d think they’d make just a few even, but nah...take your butterscotch and blonde Tele and be happy you got that if you’re a lefty. 😤

[@ledhendrix5054]

I look forward to your jams more than the actual review of the products , is that bad ? Any idea where I can get backing tracks off either Lee or Pete ?

[@hindsy3472]

I’d thrown some coin down for that!

[@jeffhershberger]

I am not really a fan of the Jazzmaster trem fan, but I like it on the Jazz Strat and I really dig that Uptown, its almost like Fender said “Hey Gibson, I got your authentic ‘right here’!”

[@thebean7920]

man the HH strat looks so good

[@livekaos]

That guitar sings, the only thing wrong is the placement of the volume pots because I like to do the volume swell

[@benjaminfowler4513]

That flopped headstock offset is dream level want for me right now

[@aleksazivanovic7709]

I love it! Amazing looking and sounding guitar. Refreshing! Would buy. And I have to disagree with Mr. DP - I absolutely adore that 2point trem system 👌👌👌🤟🤟🤟🎸🎸🎸

[@ShimiHalperin]

Awesome jam!

[@duanecrooke3388]

Good demo, I'm a tele guy. Pete has sold me on the uptown cat!

[@1961jscofield]

This would be an epic time for an epic deal & video for some EVH gear. RIP Edward.

[@lucnebra10]

Beautiful intro, Cap.

[@kowalguitarlife9119]

Absolutely love that strap very nice

[@kowalguitarlife9119]

Strap....lol

[@stefanp5330]

How does Pete create the feedback harmonics in the beginning? It doesn't seem to be like feedback by volume. Who can help?

[@martinclayton7260]

I really want that uptown Strat! One day I'll have the money for it!
