Dont blame youtube for the bad audio quality.get someone to help you set the sound up and would love to hear someone else play it.
It sounds muddy, hollow and with unpleasant breakup, which I’m honestly surprised at given the many consistently good-sounding guitar videos out there.
Good on you for having the money to buy a 63. I do agree some guitars just have the magic. I have found MiM Tele's and Strat's made in the 90s and early 2000's that I will keep forever because for me they feel right and give me the tone I hear in my head.
Super cool but sounds like a am radio underwater.
The SRV thing is cool and all… but make your own sound with it. That’s why all those guys who have those old starts are revered. They all took it and made their own sound and their own feel out of it… just a thought
That strat kicks ass, you play so crazy with the way you hold that pick in your hand and everything. I have watched you play several times and I just don't know how that pick don't go flying out of your hand lol. Keep up all the good work and love the pedals.
Wow, that’s awesome! Congrats on the new Strat!
Congrats! I finally pulled the string on a guitar I'd been lusting after for 50 years. Totally worth it!
Congrats to you guys on the Octone being named in Guitar World's Gear of the Year!
I know what you mean about those old resonant guitars. One of my local shops has a museum with ancient strats and a few bursts…. The acoustically resonant ones are magical, but a few others are dogs. So yeah, every vintage guitar isn’t magical. Sounds like you found a good one.
P.s I can’t wait for my new red Pedal Pawn to arrive.
Well. When you get right down to it ... they are ALL parts guitars. What difference does it make if Fender parts them together, or you do? 🙂
The street value of a 63 sraat is 16 to 17 grand if you want to spend that kind of money then fine I'm happy with my squire strat that cost 120 quid
Sounded great despite the compression. Should have played it without any effects and acoustically so we would have a better idea of what it sounded like.
Cool guitar and great playing but all the effects ruin it for me, I have no idea what the guitar actually sounds like. I actually don’t like how it sounds in this video at all.
Agreed, I stumbled on to this video, don't know who this guy is and was very unimpressed with his tone and playing. Trying to play like SRV or Jimi instead of expressing his own soul. But I digress respect to the bloke for having a YT channel, doing what he loves and owning a piece of history.
Killer playing dude ! 🔥
Was it worth it? How the hell would we know! How much did you pay for it? That might help us decide.
Tbh it sounda like shit through that pedal. Play it clean.
Wonderful guitar! Does it have a reverse wound reverse polarity middle pickup?
Thank you very much. I’m not sure in all honesty, I just know that these are the original pickups to the guitar 🎸
SRV would be proud.
❤️🤠
Cool guitar, good playing….BUT, the audio quality sounds like fish smells.
I hope you had it professionally inspected!!!! Lots of good fakes out there especially overseas
I’ll be honest (and respectful) about this argument. It’s your money, spend it how you wish. Personally, I feel it’s conformation bias and nothing more. But I’m an engineer by education and think it’s pure irrationality/witchcraft to think products manufactured in the 1950’s somehow are superior. Most of The early Fender guitars were made on pin routers and primitive jigs by largely low-skilled workers as repetitive labor. Leo couldn’t afford high wages during the post-war employment boom. That doesn’t mean they were junk, but to think there is some magic is nonsense. (My professional opinion only)
Placebo effect 100%
So how much was it?!!
How can we make a value judgement if we don’t know that!🤔🙃
Bro audio quality of this recording is horrible. Guitar sounds rad tho. Cheers
What's with this new vocal affectation certain kids are doing these days? They loudly pop the p's that come at the ends of certain words, and make a sound like a dry stick breaking when pronouncing "ck" sound at the end of others.
This guy did a big one @ :55 when saying "neCK".
Chris Buck is probably the main offender, but I've noticed The Captain at Andertons doing it a lot lately, among others.
Once you start noticing it you won't be able to stop yourself!
It's called 'vocal fry' and is a recognised trait particularly amongst Millennials .
A good old Strat looks played to shit. 👍
This has to be the worst sounding Strat I have heard on UA-cam. Really, please record some good clean stuff with it.
You should have played it with no effects, so we can hear how it really sounds. Or, play the same thing on a great off-the-rack Strat with the same effects, so we hear the difference.
Overdrive and a vintage strat go together like pb and j.
@@micktheman6 That's nice, but effects don't allow us to hear how that Strat really sounds. Or, play a great off-the-rack Strat with the same effects, amp, etc, and let us hear the difference.
@@larryjackson6075 it’s difficult to tell from UA-cam anyway. But a little reverb and overdrive I agree can hinder what we hear but certainly makes it more interesting.
I agree. Reviews that don't extensively include the guitar minus all effects pedals are worthless.
Honestly, you’re are not buying a vintage Strat for how it sounds. It’s a vibe.
I Hate Seeing Some Of The Guitars On UA-cam All New And Shiny,I Love The Old Guitars The Finish Fading Away And Dents And Dings And Play Like Butter.
Don't hate me too much for my stupidity. But... When I was a teenager looking for my first electric, I was shopping through Gruhn's catalog ( I got my first acoustic from them, a 0017 Martin) and Pre CBS strats were not popular at that time, ie mid to late 80s - Everyone was playing Charvels ei alia. Strats were your old uncle's guitars. Gruhn's was listing multiple Pre 65 strats for around $1200. The guy at my local shop said "spend all your money on your guitar. Amps will come and go." But I was a teenager and wanted an amp that would go to 11, so I spent 60% of my money on an axe and 40% on an amp. I should have listened. That was my only chance to own a vintage start, even one of my choice, and I missed it. But I also learned that the player is more important than the instrument. (But I think they're sexy) Side note: About ten years ago, everything was stolen out of my house, including the Martin and my original first electric guitar Fender strat, a 79 Silver Anniversary Strat, which by then had autographs from BB King. Buddy Guy, and John Lee Hooker. I found the Martin, but the Silver Strat is still out there somewhere. (I miss my silver strat, but I'm also glad it wasn't a 63 with a rosewood neck.
Congrats on a beautiful Strat my man, but it sounds absolutely bloody awful in this video. Maybe demo without any effects or just the guitar and no backing track. Great playing nonetheless
Well i was born in 63 , so yeah , it's worth every penny 😀 And if i ever have the money ( and i can find a good one for an not to absurd price ! ) a 63 sunburst it will be 🤣 Until then i will enjoy my perstcaster wich cost me about 600 euro and also plays and sounds great 😊
Saying there’s something magical about this old strat is like Michael Jordan telling the looney toons about his super secret stuff
Its all in your head/placebo
Its a beautiful guitar and I bet it is just as beautiful to play. Its also great to see an old instrument being played and not just kept as a collectors piece
Thanks so much ❤️ It really is a gem to play!! 🎸
@@PedalPawn It was cool to see both you and mimi playing it. You should do a guitar collab vid, that would be great to watch
Well im sure it plays great but the sound on this video is horrible...you should record it correctly so we can actually hear what it sounds like...because this sound is absolute crap...
I got a pre CBS srat myself. Bought it in the seventies when they didn't cost more than a new Strat. It is by far my best guitar and I got quite a few to compare with. Congratulations to a beautiful instrument!
Something is really wrong with the audio :/ sounds like its underwater! Reupload?
Sounds like a pop can! Sterile & no spine or coliones!! Actualy causes pain to the listener but awsome to the player i guess. Pain with steel strings
Awesome guitar and congrats! I would say a lot of that "fastness" you're talking about has to do with neck angle, as well as the neck just being really sturdy and well made. I find that a steeper neck angle makes for a faster playing guitar and also makes bending easier (for me, anyways) I first discovered this on a luthier made strat my friend sold me with a vintage style neck. The thing just played itself. I bought a guitar made entirely by the same builder and it didn't play the same. It was perfect in every other way and sounded amazing but it didn't have that thing in the way it played. After thinking about this for a LONG time and discussing it with friends, I finally worked out that it's probably mostly to do with neck angle. We shimmed the neck to be resemble the neck angle of the other strat and it absolutely brought the guitar to life in terms of how it played. Faster, more even action over the whole fretboard and easier to bend. It was as if the strings came to life. Neck angle is huge, and I really don't think it's talked about enough. It only takes a tiny change in the angle too in order to make the difference.
All I hear is distorted bass guitar and barely audible honky guitar. Sorry but this is really bad
Guitars are worth nothin Your Fingers are worth Millions!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately a lot of the vintage guitars out there aren't the ceam of the crop so to speak Pick ups are a huge part of the equation The bridge as well IMHO If you love it and have bonded with it that's ALL that matters Plus if you've never owned one YES go for it which you have so at the very least if you end up selling it you had the experience I've owned several so it's not as big of a deal to me And actually maybe I should have emailed you I just sold a mint 65 neck with all 64 specs I needed a new set of wheels but fortunately I had another of the later 65 variety that has a headstock repair but it slid right on no fuss and barely any adjustments Are those Blue Birds in the partscaster correct ?? They sound damn good I might get some for one of my builds Will never sell the original 65 pup's Pickups and bridge All great old guitar's need new pots and switches Nuts and frets as well Guitar (63) sounds great man but hope you didn't buy that old tweed amp...it didn't sound the best but didn't they say the original speaker's were put up or something?? Maybe that's why Oh well Happy Holidays and rock that bad boy but remember it's just a guitar and it's those hands and brain of your's that make you sound so GOOD.... Cheer's
The PRS Silver Sky is modeled on that guitar.
Best guitar ever. Literally worst recording of said guitar ever.
(The audio quality, not your playing.)
Recorded with a potato,?? Haha. Nice guitar Chris
Honestly haha 🥔 a potato would of been better than this UA-cam compression 🤣💪
We need a clean tone from that '63. Maybe play it through a few different amps at "edge of breakup" volume so we can hear the pickup nuance's and get a real idea if it sounds "magical". Obviously we don't get the opportunity to feel the "magic", so hearing it will have to work. ✌️ Great video, great playing, but the audio is muffled on my end. Not sure if it's my equipment or your's, but it sounds like a "strat" to me. 🤷 The '63 does look cool as f*#k though... 😏
Thanks a lot for that mate, will have to do a better video soon with more clarity, this one got totally compressed by UA-cam for some reason ha ha. Thanks for the nice comment 🎸
are you ABSOLUTELY SURE that's not a repro guard on that 63 strat mate? i've been buying and selling pre-cbs strats for the last 30 years and it sure looks like a repro guard to me
Happy to see you with that guitar. If anybody deserves a cool vintage Strat it's you. Congratulations.
Thanks so much for that Patrick, that’s very nice of you to say 🎸🔥
The digital distortion makes this unlistenable... why is his voiceover clipping???
I want to hear its clean sound rather than the drive sound.
wtf did you do when you recorded the thing tho? It's digital clipping like crazy man
150 k subscribers, congrats!
With that great playing and that guitar. It deserves better 🎤. But still fun to watch
Perfect guitar to buy, super playable condition - obviously been loved for a long time and if you scratch it you won’t panic. You seem like the kind of guy who will play the hell out of it too.
I’m not sure if this is the case here and it’s certainly not our business if it is, but for people watching - a possible perspective. If you’re in the music business an item like this can be a tax deductible purchase. If your business is doing well enough for you to be putting some money aside this can certainly be financed over a few years - reduce your tax burden and hopefully be worth more than you paid for it at the end. This doesn’t have to be seen as someone with huge numbers in the bank buying something for fun.
sorry if I missed it but : how much ?
On the 2 Strats, compare how high above the body the neck sits and the neck angle. The pre CBS guitars were made and set up correctly. That is likely the reason for better playability.
As for tone, it's all about the wood and pickups, some guitars have it, they don't have to be old. I bet that thing was a monster back in 63 as well.
Years down the road you'll know if it was worth it. That thing sings and is a real keeper. If I had one I'd definitely say it was worth it. Cool playing, as ever, mate.
Awesome insight, thanks so much mate
@@PedalPawn but hey if you run across another that you like better for some reason don't be afraid to trade up That's the guitar game man and it's weird how when one comes around another seems to follow LoL Remember what happened to Mick from TPS. ?? Didn't he buy one and then all of a sudden another one was lurking So never stop looking this could be the starting point of your vintage journey What a great start though huh. ??
This is a Vintage Stratocaster... you actually ruined the demo by not playing it clean!... Why?
Something you can't fake .?? .🤭🤭🤭 check out Brave wood /Clive Brown guitars
Check out your probable guitar in the bottom left of the photo ... ua-cam.com/video/eYSITezGD6k/v-deo.html
The old guy in the video of you and Mimi buying the guitar in Sweden is probably Janne Schaffer. Mimi can tell you who Janne is. He told you he once owned that guitar. So he probably did. Cheers from the Land Down Under.
I've got a 63 Strat for sale.
Sorry, dude. It's not. I have a 2002 mim that i promise would bury that stratocaster.
@PedalPawn when you flew back to England did you take the Strat inside the cabin or did you check it like regular luggage ?
Hey bro love that old63 nice I just wanted to make u aware from how I see it it looks like on the top horn of the strat whare the paint has worn it reminds me of an eagle flying just saying congrats on the vintage player have fun rock on from NY red aka usa peace out have fun that's what it's all about
The guitar looks amazing but sounds weird...
No way to tell with the quality of this video and audio when he plays it.
Unless someone gave me one, I'd never buy a 1963 Strat unless it was at a garage sale and the person was just pretty much giving it away...because I was born in Cali in 1961...regardless if it was a Strat, a JazzMaster, or an Esquire, I'd love to have one made in 1961 with the neck date mark showing a July of 1961...7/ 61...maybe one day...hey, of course, great demo of that guitar...thanks for sharing this with us, and hope you and yours are having a great day!
Someday, maybe after you've passed on or after someone steals your partscaster, a young great player will pick up your old partscaster and say, "There's something magical about this strat."
How much ish ?
It's so subjective but to my personal taste it sounds thin nasally and weird. Maybe it's the effect?
When he asked you if it was a vintage Strat you should have just told him it was a 63 and saved your money
Aw gee sus I would liked to of heard some good clean sounds, as it is it tells me nothing.
In the world 🌎 of Motivation a Stratocaster will Do! 😎👍🎸
Very cool.I would have had several re frets by now and have had the board wear sanded down or filled.I put stainless on my 96 usa strat and now every so many months I don't have to level and crown.
What's the definition of vintage? I have a 1999 strat. Is that vintage 😆
Yep
When the owner of a strat dies it absorbes their soul. then when you play it, you use their power.
Why don't you have it repainted❓Especially the sunburst strat! Needs a paint job! I have a 2002 Start. Sunburst with a Maple neck. My guitar still looks gorgeous and I played that guitar!
Glad it went to a player than some collector.. congrats!
Fender strats suck especially old and worn out .. get new
I love that Strat! I’m glad you got it, we only have this one life (that we know, at least) so of course you have to treat yourself to the things you want the most.
Great insight mate, thanks a lot ❤
Where’s the harm in sharing what it cost to buy that strat ?
Totally agree. If it inspires you that is all that matters.
🙌🎸❤️
whats up with the terrible sound quality?
Oh dear, shame the audio was so blown out & distorted
It makes you look way cool playing it. And that is priceless.
Hope it inspires you to create something extraordinarily your own!
I have not seen the video, but yes it was
Beautiful guitar! Love it!🎸🎸
Good luck with it, I love the middle pickup sound, what amp are you on, sounds amazing
He didn't reply!
My personal opinion is that vintage guitars like old fenders and gibsons are worth it as collectors items. There really isn’t a huge difference in terms of sound but for the guy that wants to stop mimicking playing vintage it can be worth it just to stop thinking about how the pickups aren’t actually vintage and stuff xD. But for the average player, no it’s not worth it by a long shot if you don’t buy it as an investment. I don’t think you loose much money if you end up regretting the purchase and resell but realistically you can have a professional grade instrument for less than 1000 dollars today.
Cool video, Strat and playing! However, the audio quality is fairly horrid TBH. I'd suggest a SM57 or an E609 on your cab into a preamp channel on a mixer or interface so you can get control over the sound and mix with backing track.
5 weeks later.... It's actually a 2016 partOcaster....😁.... I'm glad I hate old guitars. Can't imagine the price he paid....
My father owned a music studio back in the day and vintage strats came through. The older strats had the aged wood which seemed to be more resonant, but I think the newer strats made in the custom shop come very close to the vintage sound and after some aging get there. If the strat has quality wood and pickups, then in large part it's the same. The only real magic is in your fingers and in your heart.
I played a 1960 Strat that was amazing, but my partscaster is better than any Strat I've played in years. In fact an old school guitar tech told me it was as good as a Custom Shop one which made me feel good.
(((Please tell us what you paid for it))). I had a 63 refin three tone sunburst I called it The Violin original wound pickups it was warm sweet velvety rich had typical Jimi tone on his record/ I sold it unfortunately / I dont know about having it rewound for me that would be a bit of a loss compared to original
Also with all those effects how can you hear the guitar any way that rig could make anything sound good/ dnt get me wrong nice playing but almost every note sounds good with that set up
$44,000 ? $25,000? Emerald City Guitars have them.
Killer brother, “You”make that stat worth it 🤘🏽🔥
Wow thanks a lot mate ❤
Is this a bass demo?
Its the psychology of the word "Vintage" lmao
Looks and sound Great! Enjoy!
Beautiful guitar
NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's your guitar. If it's worth it to you then it's worth it. You can't buy history at Walmart, you have to find it, and you found it. Cheers!
Spirit of Rory
Awwww my ears
If it has the original pickups its worth it you can't replicate
them with todays tech.
