Vintage Fender 1979 Stratocaster vs Vintera II 70's Strat | Old vs New

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

The biggest difference will be trem or no trem. Those springs really do make a difference.

I owned a ‘79 hard tail, rosewood Strat back in the early 80’s. I also owned a ‘76 Strat. The big difference was the neck shape. The ‘76 had a very pronounced ‘U’ and the ‘79 had a thinner neck. Interesting your ‘79 was thicker than the Vintera. Maybe mine was a little later and got the ‘80’s style thinner neck. The neck shape is the only reason I might buy the Vintera, but if it’s not a proper, chunky ‘70’s ‘U’ neck, forget it. Fwiw, I also had an early ‘70’s Tele and it had the exact same ‘U’ neck as my ‘76. I’m no fan of the so called modern C. ‘70’s ‘U’ necks are my fav.

I purchased the vintage one today! 😎👌🏻

[@binarylung]

Great choice! 🤘🏻

[@guitarguitaruk]

That's superb Chris. Hope you don't mind me getting hands on it before it went to you!

[@chrisgoodhand]

@@guitarguitaruk not at all - these things are there to be played and it’s cool to have something that was used in a video to such great effect. I have a few vinteras, but I’ve always wanted a ‘proper’ 70s strat… and I’m lucky enough to be able to treat myself once in a while so, why not? 🤘🏻

[@johndaugherty4127]

The OG has 1,000 better pickups IMHO.

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

Who cares 🤣

[@anselmountain6884]

the Vintage 1979 has a bottom end while the Vintera II has a tight bass , so it feels very blunt less life comparing to the 1979 , the upgrade will be in pickups

The Vintera in vintage white sounds ..nice …the sunburst real 70’s was a hard tail so I don’t know with having more mass body really changes tone and maple vs rosewood…however 👍 nice job

[@Coolbeans1492]

I think it would make it more tele like but i thought the vintera had more definition

[@Ledzepfan88]

That's fabulous, enjoy the guitar!!!!

[@It_is_now]

The 1979 has gritty, dirtier and more attitude in tone. The Vintera has that goodie two shoes vibe since everything just sounds softer and more polite compare to the 79.

[@Dre-nr3je]

79 sounds a bit more lively/warmer. Maybe something that can be adjusted in the vintera II

[@SimpleMan1988]

I personally liked the sound and vibe of the 79 Fender Stratocaster. The Fender Vintage strat is nice....but I really prefer the 79...

[@guitarguitaruk]

something really cool about a real deal vintage

[@V081WLBlue]

Yip, fav headstock, but want a maple board!

[@tomashornak5759]

Its ash, not alder !

[@joeisitt1904]

The Vintera for me, I wouldn't feel so bad scalloping the fretboard😊

[@michaelotto7454]

The original sounds much warmer

[@herbmcgowan9267]

The 1979 Stratocaster sound a little more thicker

[@Rogers319]

Is homie in a wig? Wtf? I can even concentrate on what he’s saying

[@joeisitt1904]

They're still in the 70s in Scotland😊

[@BecomingWolves]

100%

[@JohnFender]

The 79 has more body sound
