Fender Guitars - Is The John Mayer PRS Bad News for Fender?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2018
- Fender Guitars not unlike Gibson, have had their own problems lately. One of them being the uproar surrounding the release of the John Mayer new PRS Silver Sky. I ask two experts how they got here and where they are headed.

I would like to say, I tend to stay away from signature products. I don't really want to play a guitar with someone else's name on it.
Rick please do more videos with the 3 of you. I can watch this for hours. Guitar in hand listening to you guys. Much better than cable.
When talking fender, no one ever seems to consider what fender himself did...which was start G&L. Smaller company, still boutique. Their custom shop is killer. Seriously well built guitars.
You guys are absolutely correct. Most of the non USA made artists signature models were made here in Japan. Those guitars are made in the Nagano prefecture where the air is dry and people with precision workmanship. Say the John Jorgenson models, those are made here in Japan with meticulous work. And such workmanship is extended equally to all the other model.
The reason that Mexican Fenders sound really good is because same reason all the Fender Golden era vintage guitars sound good...
Honestly love these three of you guysconversation videos would love to see this become a regular thing. You should do a name for it.
I swear to God I love UA-cam. I can watch interesting content like this which is pertinent to me vs. channel surfing to some BS show on cable. Nice episode Rick. I love this kind of stuff.
"why is John Mayer trashing fender?" If you paid any attention to what John has to say, especially on his Instagram Live videos, he has nothing bad to say about fender and certainly isn't "trashing" them. He said he had some ideas that he wanted to pursue and if he stayed with Fender then he wouldn't get to see those ideas through.
I LOVE the bird inlays on a Strat, that was literally a dream come true hahaha
Wow, I just love it that you mentioned Jack Pearson. I just saw him last night and he was awesome. He was playing at the Mane Room in Florence, Alabama. It's the second time I've seen him.
Great discussion. I agree with virtually everything thing you guys said. It's refreshing to hear good sense spoken about guitar build and pricing, with rational comparisons.
I am really grateful for Dave's knowledge. Bring on more Dave!
In the Framus factory tour from the many Guitcon videos it’s mentioned that the CEO doesn’t want to grow. It’s the expectation of continuous growth that ends up killing these brands.
The volkswagen guitar was a First Act strat. Fender does do the upgraded car audio speakers on current models.
Their approach with Gretsch is on point. Not too many models, but 3 very distinct ranges at very clear price points.
Leo's genius for simplicity is what makes it so easy to "build" very inexpensive versions of the same thing. The fact that they are simple doesn't mean they're not elegant, or effective, or killer - but it also means "why am I paying so much when I can do this myself?" And internet makes this so easy, easier than pre-internet. Good video!
Fret work is like 80% about what I care about with looking for a new guitar. Fret sprout is such a pet peeve of mine. Most fenders aren’t very good at this. Prs, even on the cheaper stuff do a great job on fret work.
Thanks for the shoutout to Gretsch; they are still owned by Fred Gretsch, with Fender handling production, distribution and marketing.
Subscribed because I like this kind of format. A sort of podcast with knowledgeable guys about the guitar industry. Good job!
I have a few of both Gibson and Fender guitars, and I have learned so much from your discussions. Thanks Beato!
