📚 Description: Fender has always been rather forward-thinking and constantly adopts up-and-coming and current-day artists. Recently, they just welcomed 3 additional Female members to the line up - Tash Sultana, H.E.R. and Billie Eilish. Out of the 3, I decided to get the HER strat since I thought it featured the most unique finish and spec options.
I didn't really like this guitar. The finish was cool, but the pickups aren't really for me, but are great for R&B + mellow grooves. I'm sure after a good set up this would be a nice playing guitar though!

Davie might have good taste after all?

[@ikestoddard2458]

My new second favorite Fender color: 1) Antigua, 2) Chrome Glow. Glo?

[@hkguitar1984]

Dark/mellow tones could be due to the 250K pots as my American Deluxe Strat w/Noiseless Pickups came with 1M Ohm Pots. I've noticed that entail pick guards can act as a soundboard causing the 5-Way Switch to sound louder when changing pickup selection.

[@mightyV444]

@@ikestoddard2458 - I had learnt this morning that 'glo' is Welsh for 'coal' 😀

[@chrisperry132]

Mate. I was sold on the finish and the clean tones. Would rock this. But pls review the tash sultana. Im super excited for that one.

[@grayaj23]

Fender's own video on how to adjust vintage heel-based truss rod shows them loosening the bolts but not removing them, and then "breaking" the neck at the join, which tilts the screw up just enough to be accessible. So it's not as bad as having to take the strings off or remove the neck entirely. I have a Robert Cray strat which has the vintage neck -- haven't needed to adjust yet, but I'm less intimidated after watching the video.

[@mightyV444]

Thank you for sharing that info! It still could be much, much easier, though! 🙂 And Robert Cray! I heard his name mentioned only the other day, when John Farnham (hit song 'Yoo Da Voice') was recommending him in a video from '87, and I hadn't heard his name in a very long time before that! Always loved his song 'Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark' 🙂

[@martianmurray]

Having the access at the top is still a lot quicker to do.

[@notbyalex]

People complaining ab the pickups probably are forgetting she’s an RnB artist, and i think this would sound much better in RnB than a normal strat. This guitars got soul

Yeah I agree i really want this guitar because for me I prefer the more clean tones

[@Lotuseater24]

Literally the only in depth video on this guitar. I've been thinking about getting one for months and now that you have one on your Reverb of course I just bought a Jackson Soloist SL3M Rainbow Crackle 😆

[@jtaguts]

I really enjoyed your demo playing on this video. Very musical riffs with great rhythm. I actually like the way those pickups sound.

[@monstrok]

Thanks Trogly! That is a beautiful instrument and well-appointed. After the sound demo, I really understand the feelings so many have with the noiseless pickups. Certainly lacking in any unique sound character.

[@TheFarout69]

S.H.E just played America The Beautiful with her custom Strat .....at the freakin' SUPERBOWL! IT WAS KILLER! Trogly, you got a collectors piece for sure now.

[@Ivanisasi]

You should review one of Saint Vincent's guitars too

[@saltpeter7429]

This is interesting to read. As well as the following comments. I didnt think the ST.Vincent guitar was very attractive, but EVERY SINGLE review of it has been positive as far as I can recall. So perhaps this thing is the opposite of my normal experience, looks real nice but doesnt play very well. I will have to find a store in my neck of the woods and try one.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

The first thing I would do is take my Dremel Tool and cut access for that truss rod adjustment. I don't care how it affects the price or look. That's the most important item on a guitar. My Suhr has the truss rod in same place, but they carved out a nice trench to be able to stick a screwdriver into while it's still on the body.

[@boomerdell]

I am not a Strat player - probably will in the future - but this finish is truly eye-catching. Stunner!

[@nascargas]

Yeeep Howdy! That is a stunner! Have to admit the tones are way unique for a Strat. Your demo indeed makes it sound perfect for HER music. I have to say I really like the Non Strat sound that is still uniquely Strat-ish...ringing on a different spectrum. Your distortion tone seemed miles apart from Gabriella's tone on the Kimmel guitar battle. It seemed lush and perfectly rock ready for what she was laying down. She nearly matched Brian Mays tone for her Queen solo. So it occurs to me that she also relies on some other configurations after the guitar for further sound molding. That just opens up this unit for a lot more tones than it comes with out of the box obviously that being pigeon holed into her particular genre. Having any of that at her command makes this guitar at its price point a super value to me. That finish combined with those awesome abalone inlay? Holy Moly! The small issues you found to me are negligible if as you say they don't interfere with playability. Great review! Knew nothing about HER and wasnt aware this was out there. A kinda cool to see you bounce away from Gibson for a brief moment... Love your show!

[@muratgurelmusic]

I got the H.E.R strat a few days ago. Its actually a decent well made guitar. Liking the Noiseless Pickups. It just needs a proper setup but I get that done with all new and shipped guitars

[@joeydepp779]

My vintage noiseless pickups came with 1 MEG pots. Awesome guitar. 🎸

[@jfinester]

That’s a great-looking Strat! I have to disagree with you about the sound, though-based on this demo, I think it sounds really good. I like the Vintage Noiseless pickups-I’ve got a set of them in my ‘98 American Deluxe Telecaster. You’re right-they’re not as bright as regular Strat or Tele pickups, but that’s what treble controls and bright switches are for, right? I bet this thing would sound killer through a Twin Reverb! H.E.R. is a really good guitar player-good singer too. It’s great to see a new young R&B artist focusing on the guitar-it seems like guitar has taken a back seat in pop music for a while. I would certainly rock one of H.E.R. Strats. I’d probably put locking tuners and regular strap buttons on it, though.

[@HigzyTeflon]

Nice looking guitar but at that price point, it should have ZERO issues. It seems Fender is allowing their QC to go into Gibson territory.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

Got mine directly from Fender. No issues. None. The only thing that bugs me is the truss rod adjustment location. It's the vintage style where you have to undo the neck joint.

[@highkicks49]

Yep..excluding the antiques, mij E series are the real stratocasters anyway.

[@jmdyt3626]

Yeah that should be the case but nowadays only way you will have no issues is if your spending like 5k on a custom shop

[@Molotov_Milkshake]

This is the ideal guitar for playing clean mellow music. Gotta remember H.E.R is an R&B musician. She's all about those soulful sounds.

[@checkmatefurries286]

She is so fucking talented. I love that unlike G-who-shall-not-be-named, Fender is keeping alive by embracing all music types and musicians of all ages. Really smart move and smart company. This guitar is fucking gorgeous.

[@jasong546]

Turn it up! It’s too bad about the setup, but it is fixable. That dent is not excusable though. Someone saw that and let it go. Annoying but I notice people get one that is setup out of the box, and then they modify it anyway lol. I am interested in the difference between HER sound, which is awesome, and all the guys who hate the pups. You have to do some Ed knob turning, some adjustments to the volume and soon you’ll appreciate the pups. You have a great show Trogly! I keep forgetting to hit the like button and things are so crazy I can’t always watch, but it is a really good show!

[@rob_in_stowmarket_uk]

The selector is the standard, high quality Oak-Grigsby component. The ‘sticker’ on the Trem socket is there to stop the Trem arm spring from falling out.

[@matthewashley2924]

The pick guard does act as shielding it’s not the noiseless pickups. Some of the old fenders from the 50 got the same thing.

[@134SASAKI]

Indeed, I own a 50's Musicmaster and MIJ Stratocaster with an anodized pickguard. They tend to have a relatively mellower tone. When I said the tone would change with the pickguard material, someone laughed who had no ears to hear.

[@kirkwilson6229]

The tone shouldn't change with the pickguard material. It isn't close enough to the pups to introduce eddy currents or capacitance, which are the two things that would affect your tone in that situation, scientifically speaking. That is why gold pickup covers lose high end: capacitance. It is something else, likely the pickups that caused the tonal darkness in your other guitars. Either that, or the difference was in your head, which is extremely common, and no musician will admit to it.

[@134SASAKI]

​@@kirkwilson6229 Originally, I'm talking about "lose high end: capacitance" by anodized pickguard, which is no different from your opinion isn't it? That's why I participated in Matthew's shielding topic.

[@134SASAKI]

@@kirkwilson6229 In addition, although many fake scientists don't admit, vintage-type pickups are mostly microphonic, then guitar components affect the tone of your electric guitar. But don't get me wrong, I also hate snake oil things. For example I don't think the tone will change with the type of capacitor (except for the difference in capacitance). I'm not just listening to the sounds in my head. I record guitars and basses at work every day and produce music.

[@tonym2513]

I love a lot about the look. I’d steal from this for a custom. Keeping the abalone fret markers, adding abalone pickup covers and aluminum knobs with abalone tips. Same for the selector switch. Definitely changing the pickups too. Keeping the color, pick guard and matching headstock. Changing the nut. Rosewood or ebony fretboard. Probably Grover tuners too. Every good guitar deserves Grovers imo.

[@bipbipletucha]

I really liked the song in the fender video, and the solo, and one other snippet of music HER was playing but I haven’t had the chance to hear more. I have a Clapton CS strat and the noiseless pups are nice, I just notice if you make the common mistake of playing it through a tube amp that’s barely on 1 then, no, it doesn’t sound like a strat on your favorite record. But it’s a mistake a lot of people make, through the Princeton reverb turned up anywhere after 2.5-3 they sound great. If I were to add a 3rd strat (I have a american pro from 2018) I would really consider this for a different look. 1100 is just not bad....

Your rainbow glow disappeared because those lights were the standard fluorescent lights.
