Alright, 008 set didn't work as good on this Stratocaster, but I still love them.
I usually put 9-46 on my Strats. 👌
@@J.C... Yup 9-46.
Move the volume pot to the tone and put a kill-switch button there to fill the hole.
Killer axe Ola 👊🏻🙂🔥
008's in D standard? Dear god man that is some relaxed tension!
Metal on vintage style instruments is always the coolest.
i really wish more bands felt this way!
I used to hate strats when I started playing guitar, as I got older and wiser I realized that not everything is about metal, hot pickups and high gain amps. Recently aquired a strat with fender custom shop texas special pickups. The cleans are crystal clear, and overdriven are glorious, specially position 2 and 4.
"As i got older and wiser, i realized that not everything is about metal, hot pickups and high gain amp"
Now my rig is a les paul standard into fender deluxe reverb
And you might be surprised at the metal tones you can get out of "weak" pickups anyway. Adding more gain is the easiest part. If you're getting the overtones and such that you like to begin with, you can always add more dirt... and it sounds even better.
Many of the high-output pups sacrifice clarity and richness just for the sake of going RAAAAHHHHH! and that sucks.
As a teen the one guitar I really disliked was a blond Telecaster. Looked so dull and wimpy. As a 36 yo My Main Axe is a vintage blond tele. It just sounds and plays the best. Live and learn.
@@parlamedia the Irony 😁. They do sound pretty good though.
love often start with hate...
Hey Ola, put a little rubber strap lock under the volume pot and it makes it tight and you can adjust the tightness by how far down you push the knob. works great on my CS
Great idea!
@@OlaEnglund yea, it totally works and actually the volume knob being raised a bit seems to be better? Not sure why but I use my amps for distortion so I'm all over my volume while playing and it just seems more comfortable and accurate with a a rubber washer under it. Strange how making it more in the way makes more functional and less in the way. let me know if u try it. I had to do it to my Suhrs too . their pots are like free spinning bearing . way to lose.
I did something similar with my pedals for a while. Hardware stores usually sell different sizes of rubber washers as well if you want to mess around with sizes.
My go to is a rubber seal from an old grolsh beer bottle 🍻 cheers
That's a cool idea, I have a "hot-rodded" strat where I replaced that volume knob with a kill switch so it's just a standard volume- tone set up.
That bucker absolutely CRUSHES
This is still after all the years my favorite guitar I have seen on this channel!
He's the funniest rocker I know.
Every time he does something weird or makes weird noises, really funny.
Don't know why but anyway, i love this man's humor code.
I've got a buttermilk Stratocaster, with the Yngwie Malmsteen volume pot from Seymour Duncan installed. It has a much smoother and immediate taper than the stock Fender pot and it's a low friction speed pot, which is highly responsive and a massive improvement. I've been using the Ernie Ball Hyper Slinky 8 - 42 sets lately and really like them on the Strat.
Ah man, to have a proper Strat, the dream. So jealous. Has it already been 3 years since you got this one?! Feels like that video was max one year ago, time flies.
I was thinking the exact same thing,hard to believe it's been 3 years
best tone i’d hear on this channel. Congrats Ola, beautiful guitar
I so enjoy watching these, you're a great guy having fun Ola
This guitar really reminds me a lot of Mick Mars' beat up Strat. Looks dope!
Olaenglund..I just wanted to say thanks again for all things you do for us guitar players....I have my first solar I bought the e style digestive green one....it's outstanding
Picked up the new LTD te1000 Black Blast to get some modern tones in my stable. I see someone else already requested a review on it. If you can find one, I'm sure there's more people interested in seeing you try it out. Thanx for keep'n it real, your no bullshit content is why I watch.
What a guitar! When you have a subtle distortion like that it makes you lean on your playing more to create excitement. Sounds great. Thanks for teaching people to pull up to pitch when tuning! Good advice!
I like relic finishes because you don’t have to worry about that one scratch ruining your beautiful top. I really love deep quilted tops, but always worry about scratching it.
SMACK!!! Hey Ola. Love the channel. I have an aged Olympic white strat with a brown tortoise pick guard. The volume knob is totally in the way especially palm muting the higher strings. I took it upon myself to eliminate one of the tone pots and drop the volume pot down to the upper tone pot location. In place of the original volume location I installed a low profile kill switch. Soooooo much more comfortable to play and the kill switch is great to have for crazy stuff.
I wish Ola would play this one more often. I really like the sound of it.
Ola! Love your work man. These videos are the perfect combo of tech, humour and of course chugging/shredding ! 🤘
What song were you playing there at the beginning of your demo?
Have a pleasant day, Ola! Just got out of school and the first thing I'm doing is currently watching this video while going home. Hope I can see you very soon!
These are my favorite kind of tuners actually. Never been stabbed by a stray string with this one!
Super nice strat Ola. I love the look of the guitar overall and it sounds awesome! Great video. Nice riffage as well.
first ola vid i ever watched was him going out and getting it im glad ive got to watch you grow over the years. Cheers man.
Since I'm a Strat lover, this is the most pleasing Strat video on UA-cam.
That tone is so smooth what a guitar
Beautiful Stratocaster. The color the pick ups the sound. Congratulations
I love that Ola becomes an actor in an infomercial as soon as he tries the bridge cover.
As we all grow older we all becoming wiser and starting to look for playability rather than extravagant looks & gimmicks and Stratocaster simply makes sense: simple, reliable, comfortable, straight forward. Love it, Ola.
Ola, did you get a little spring in the case? Take the tremolo arm out, drop the spring in and put the arm back on, it’ll stay in position without having to screw the arm all the way in. ✅
Love your sense of humor! Nice guitar!
Such a nice guitar, a nice tone! Loving your videos everyday Ola!
i love the relic look
I've been eyeballing this guitar ever since I found you channel Ola. Awesome seeing it today.
Hey Ola, nothing to see with the video but I did a demand of a few vinyls, shirt and the signature CD and mini lp... A BIG THANX for the manner that I received everything!!! A lot of respect and a big thank you from a nearly new fan out of Belgium, keep up the good work and your videos with you or you and your wife are AMAZING!!! GRTZ 🤘🤘🤘
The Trespass riff sounded sick AF on that strat! Love Trespass!
Honesty I always love it when you bring out your strictly 7 guitars. Those guitars have such bad ass tone.
Nice! I suggest a Video where you demonstration a full strings off change of a Floyd Trem guitar, and set the intonation.
Coming! I also have some My Guitar videos where I change on a Dime guitar with Floyd.
tthe neck pickup sounds fantastic!
Nice guitar man. Lovin the strat content. Recently been gettin into strats myself
We love you ola!
Wow that sound is🔥
My new phrase/word for the week is Amaze-balls, as in; "The Frets and the Neck are Amazeballs!" Thanks!
Hey, Ola!
The vintage style Fender tremolos work well with a spring under the whammy bar. Stew Mac sells them. It keeps the bar from swinging and puts pressure to keep the bar in place. They are called “Trem-Arm Tension Spring”.
Man I love this guitar. I've been looking for one just like it since your original video.
I feel you Ola, sometimes it's like "Holy shit, this random riff/shred I'm playing sounds sick, let me record it"
Aaaand it's gone
I even composed a nice chill songs, when I am very relaxed and about to fall a sleep, or during a dream but I have to be very quick and record somewhere immediately not to forget forever lol.
Same! It is a relief, however, to know that it happens to better players than I am.
I'm into metal, ok?;and I still appreciate the love for the engineering that you have. I have experienced the same thing with guitars I wouldn't normally play. Don't listen to the haters, enjoy your purchase, and shred on it. I would. Beautiful piece.
Strat sounds awesome
I removed that pesky knob from my strat for the same reason. Rewired it to to be one tone, one volume. Covered the hole with a nice low profile bolt. Best mod ever.
Yours is like one I played more than 20 years ago in a shop; same color, except that one had 3 single coils and a maple fingerboard. Still, it felt right at home in my hands and sounded incredible. I was flat broke and couldn't buy it but I still think about it often.
Sounds and looks amazing that guitar.
Sweet Guitar Ola.
Duncan SH-1 was the go-to pickup in the bridge for oldschool Lamb of God albums. Got all the crunch you need
My strat always loved 10-46 in E standard, I know thats pretty common but it just works!
.9.5 to .44 is just fucking HEAVENLY on "s TyPe" guitars imo. They feel indiscernible to .10s under the fingers, but allow for .9-like bends, vibrato, squeals and all that good stuff! Definitely gonna have to try 'em in D with a THICCer bottom.
why did you write "type" like a chemical formula
Yeah I use the EB Turbo set which is like 9.5-42 in E and they feel great
That bar is reason #1,738 why I always replace the blocks in those vintage-style Fenders with Callaham blocks. You don't have to worry about losing that goofy spring, I prefer the feel of Bill's bars themselves and the delrin bushing at the base of the hole always holds the bar snugly.
Callaham stuff is really great.
@@TrevBec
His workshop is like 15 minutes from my house and he still forces me to use USPS for shipments of stuff… 🤣🤣🤣
Hola Ola! That is a gorgeous Strat. Can’t go wrong with the Fender Custom Shop. As other’s have advised, put a rubber strap lock or gasket under the Volume knob and that would help with the accidental rubbing while strumming. Congrats on the axe and happy very belated Bday!
THE most beautiful CS strat I’ve ever seen. The colors and the pickup layout is stunning. If they had locking tuners on it that would be the icing on the cake. I’m going to search for this guitar online right now.
Nice tuners around 100 bucks, this guitar is 4k, so not much of an uprade.
@@colinemusesong - totally understood. I just like them for the gigging aspect and haven’t put any on my CS guitars unless from the factory as I never wanted odd holes and such. Cheap fix but rather have them from the shop. Not a deal breaker - just nice. Great guitar though. It has a great look and sound and I’m sure the way you play it helps too. But that baby pops. Haven’t ever seen one like it
@@manydreams1life315 Mb check classic relic suhr, they are coming with locking.
@@colinemusesong - Right on …. Got one and dig it …. Doesn’t have the great mojo of your CS. I have a great CS ‘63 tele too that is sooo good. CS has been really good these past few years. I’ve had success with some ‘09 era ones too but like anything else there are some in any year that are “something extra special”
I have a 93 strat made in Korea with Bill Lawrence 80's humbucker.
My custom shop...125 bucks.❤
The Songs . Hello Ola .
Man loving the E standard thrash-y kinda riffing, sounds awesome. Who'd have thought a low-output '59 could rip so hard?
Shhhhh, the aftermarket pickup companies who spend big bucks advertising their expensive high-output stuff do NOT want people to know that.
With modern amps that are so hot, you no longer need a 13k+ output for heavy thrashy sounds. 8.5k with good eq will do just fine.
@@blakespurlock5322 very true, it's more of a case of hotter pickups having a different sound/interaction with your amp that you may or may not like. Many different ways of achieving the same thing
@@dogslobbergardens6606 Isn't Seymour Duncan one of those companies?
The bridge part made my day :)
That’s a cool strat! That neck pickup sounded great.
Awesome Guitar
The top knob on a Strat is exactly why I started playing Telecasters
Sheit 3 years ago, dang I remember that video, freakin time flies.
I'm with you on playing strat-type gits always turning the volume down!
Thing sounds great!
Love that guitar!
smartypants mode on: For vintage tuners i usually cross over the string windings on the tuner: put two windings of string on, cross the next winding down across winding two for half a winding and then cross it back up again. Works really well in terms of stability.
Im not really a Fender guy, but I do like an old school looking Strat. Jeff Loomis has one that looks a lot like that, except his has all single coil pickups. Beautiful guitar, Ola :D
Those SS with the distortion have VERY similar tone to Opeth's more recent albums. Love it. Overall tone is killer, no matter what you had going on.
Amazing guitar
Such a great sound of single coil there
Funnier video love it
I love CS HSS strats!! I have a heavy relic shell pink. It chugs and the singles coils are to die for.
Hey ola, good to see the old strat come out..
You need to get your old ibanez guitars out.. cheers from Australia
beautiful guitar !!!
That's a great looking strat !
A bit late to the party here, but for the volume knob issues just consolidate all tone to the last pot & just move volume down to where the first tone pot is, simples.
not a custom shop but i got a relic'd mexican strat recently and its so much nicer not caring about it being sparkly and free from finger prints constantly
highly recommend for any OCD people
The explosion. The door. The lolz I had. Thank you.
Love that guitar !!!! Out of all your guitars its my favorite :)
I had the same issue with my Strat volume so near to the strings. I threw that pot out and wired the 2 remaining pots for master volume/master tone. I filled the empty hole with an extra 5way switch tip, (just superglued it in) and that makes a good reference contact for my right hand/pinky.
Nice! Keep up your good work.
The trem arm is rubbing for a couple of reasons: (1) The bridge was originally designed with the intention to lean and float when tuned to pitch. On yours, it's decked. (2) It looks like you're missing the spring that goes into the threaded hole which keeps the bar from going in so far and also gives it some friction. You can get a pack of them for cheap.
I laughed my ass off at the burp and the door creaking open. Such gold
1:28 had me spit out my coffee damn
Ola, with those tuners, on the very end of the high strings, put a small bend on the final 1/8 inch of the string before putting it in the slot, it will stay down in there while tuning it up. Those are actually my favorite type of tuners.
Could you explain further? So bend the tip of the string?
@@jake-slplss yeah, you just take some pliers and put a little kink in the end of the string before putting it inside the post. It just helps give the string a little friction so it wont slide out while tuning.
Awesome guitar man
Great sound, men...that true Fender
Very nice!
I just saw the one from 3 hrs ago…cool Ola! 😮
Ola ! I have found that the easiest way to hold the high string in the fender vintage tuners is to put a tooth pick in the hole after you put the string in it ! It stops it from popping out on you !!
Hey Ola , a very nice Guitar and you a very greatest guitarist 🤘🏻🤘🏻 the ruock is not dead!!!
When installing a new string you insert it through the tuner and using your index finger you measure from the tip of your index finger and bend the string at your first knuckle. For me provides perfect slack.
I built a string through body hardtail strat with only master volume / master tone, with a JB jr. in the bridge...it does it all except whammy. No volume control in the way of palm mutes, does the quack and the shreds etc.
Highly recommend
"Bend it to bend town." hahahahaha! Love a good Strat. I'll have one eventually.
serius guitar, Fender rules and a custom shop as well as the ultra series are the best
Cool shirt man!
Been waiting to see this guitar again … it’s been awhile
