Lee's guitar playing ability follows the arc of Superman's superpowers. when we were first introduced he could just jump over a building or outrun a train, but now he's time travelling and shooting lasers.
Whenever I think I'm too old to learn to play the guitar better I remember Lee's probably 10 years older than me and learning at an insane rate while running a business and being a dad...
@@anxiousmindmusic I think its Pete making Lee's playing better , when I first started way back in the 80s I was going to give up within six months , then my sisters best friends boyfriend played in a band , I started hanging out with them and getting lessons and my playing just went through the roof. If you get the chance hang out and jam with better players , it rubs off on you. Most important thing is do not get into bad habits when you first start playing.
You completely missed that you can actually coil tap the uptown strat with push pull pots (on the tone controls if i'm not mistaken). It adds a LOT of extra tonal capability, opens it up a lot
@@benlogan430 These are true taps, not just dropping a coil. If you watch Trogly's review, the taps only lose about 1/3 of their output. That bridge pickup is really hot too, about twice as hot as the neck pickup.
Yeah but I think if anyone is interested in the guitar they'll find out themselves... but having researched the guitar already, I also thought it was a bit weird that they didn't demonstrate it
Unbelievable how the Cap has progressed. He's transcended to the level where you can't really be surprised by how tasteful his licks are now: it's expected.
Jaming along great players like Pete and supported by good teacher like Justin and anyone can achieve that level... Finding good jaming bud as the difficult part tho ...
I would nearly KILL for one of those Uptown Strats! Most of the Parallel Universe stuff has been a tad too quirky for my tastes, or quirky in the wrong directions. This one is nearly perfect. I could wish for the Strat belly cut, and I might be interesting in a Floyd version; the idea of a Bigsby, however, strikes me as "Meh!" A TOM (Adjust-O-Matic) bridge with a stoptail might be really good, too. Out of all the "mashup" style guitars that Fender has done for the last few years, this one in particular screams for regular production and for expansion into the Squier realm, where I'm sure it would prove really popular. If Fender doesn't see it that way, I may try to crib my own together -- less the spectacular finish, of course!
The parallel universe series is my favorite line of guitars in a while. Cool ideas that are well made. Just hope Fender keeps it going so I can afford a model someday 😂
This is my dream guitar! I'm primarily a Las Paul man, I like humbuckers, but I like the whammy bar and just the look of a Strat...and thus is the perfect combination.
This is my new favourite channel on UA-cam... and i'm really annoyed at myself for only discovering it about 2 months ago... but at least that much good came from 2020! Rock on guys!
For those wondering why people don’t like the wide range humbuckers, they’re essentially just regular humbuckers in the bigger wide range cover. Look up DylanTalksTones video on wide range humbuckers.
I've been watching the lessons that Lee did with Justin and the ones with Pete and Ariel before that while hoping to get some tips to up my guitar playing as well. The captain has come such a great long way in terms of confidence and his playing!
@@Sebastianvgo You can find them sequenced out on the Justin guitar website (you may want to search for rut busters or the captains privates). And the lessons with Pete and Ariel can be found if you scroll back to late 2017 on the Andertons youtube channel.
6:20 is the perfect explanation of a test bench. You put the item being tested in use with other items that are the best in those fields to see how it interacts with those things. If the guitar was actually bad it would just suck on a good amp and sound even worse on a bad amp lol. But people just don’t understand that I guess 🤷🏽♂️
Now that is a cool strat! I’d prefer it with a Hardtail, but I know it’s not about me all the time. Then I remembered I can just block the trem and change to black and silver top/top hat knobs and my perfect strat!!! A Sunday post made my day! Thankie...
I look forward to your jams more than the actual review of the products , is that bad ? Any idea where I can get backing tracks off either Lee or Pete ?
Lee is playing amazingly here! I do have to point out a funny moment though, at 1:32 he reaches for where the trem is on a normal strat and misses completely cause of the jazzcaster hahah
the outro jam is just FAYAH! It's like Neil Young with Crazy Horse level of goodness, in a big part to those vibrato sounds that Lee was getting out of that Dorado.
Its Chewsday init? That Uptown Strat is my favorite Strat of them all, double hums, individual Vom/Tone controls, a faint paintjob showing the grain, Fender needs to keep this and the Spark-o-Matic Jazzmaster around those are my 2 favs.
Pete's playing reminds me a lot of Mark Knopfler, because of the dynamics, and having phrases of a few notes followed up by long sustained notes and silences
Or at the very least make cheaper fender ones. Which would actually be pretty cool, as they seem to just make them squire versions after they've made high end fender ones, not to say they aren't good (because squires can be great) but it would be nice to have an in-between.
It would be nice if they threw a few of these to lefty’s also. I’m not saying make thousands of them, but damn Fender, besides a Cobain or a Hendrix artist guitar comes in a lefty. The other thousand of different artists they’re giving guitars to are only right handed. You’d think they’d make just a few even, but nah...take your butterscotch and blonde Tele and be happy you got that if you’re a lefty. 😤
I am not really a fan of the Jazzmaster trem fan, but I like it on the Jazz Strat and I really dig that Uptown, its almost like Fender said “Hey Gibson, I got your authentic ‘right here’!”
Am i the only who feels these guys are becoming celebrities? I've been watching this show for years, and I'd be star struck if i met either ones on the street lol
Excellent playing, Cap. Also, it would be great if Amazon would do a Prime Day deal on these LOLOLOLOLOL That blue one has a pretty nice Pensa vibe to it.
I like this Les Strat.
Me too.
Same here.
Stratopaul lol
It's like a Fender Fanboy REALLY wants a LP. But he's afraid his friends will shun him if he buys one.
Lespaulocaster

Indeed so. Surely that's one of the main features of this guitar 🤔
But I'll stick with my Les Paul's for now.
Cheers chaps 🎸🎸
When will they finally add triple push/pull knobs or more so we could have a bad version of every pickup in a single guitar?!?!?

No reply from them about that??!!
Lee isn’t just jamming or riffing or noodling anymore, he’s making MUSIC, and it sounds damn good.
That last minute or so of the intro jam just killed.
He's playing like he has a plan.
That's because it's no longer Chappers - its Maestro Danish Pete teaching Lee with every jam.
Unbelievable how the Cap has progressed. He's transcended to the level where you can't really be surprised by how tasteful his licks are now: it's expected.
It's because he is playing regularly with Danish Pete.
The Troublemaker and the Uptown are my favourites out of those line of guitars.
That Uptown Strat is a thing of beauty! I really hope they make it a longer term model.
One of Pete's BEST SOLOS!! WOW!
Captain's guitar playing is stunning. Proud to think I was around when he was a pup.
Some day I wish to ascend to the level of Blues Dad that The Captain has achieved
Eevee P keep on watching the videos. I think you can achieve this.
Me too, maybe in a parallel universe...
Jaming along great players like Pete and supported by good teacher like Justin and anyone can achieve that level... Finding good jaming bud as the difficult part tho ...
and if you did....try to ascend higher to the Blues Big Daddy aka Pete Honore...dang these two are killing it
I'm not even a dad and I'd be thrilled
This is why Fender is great.
Exit jam one of the best ever... exceptional guys

Love the parallel universe offerings, these are just gorgeous!.. and Captain!! Wow, playing great!!
I’m amazed at how great of a player Lee has become!

When you want a humbucking strat but don't want a superstrat.
Your french pronunciation of « pedal » was actually good !! Great video !! cheers from France
That uptown Strat is one seriously great sounding Fender. Total mojo.
What an intro jam!
Captain Lee and Danish Pete sure could throw an album at my face, I surely would buy it.
This is my new favourite channel on UA-cam... and i'm really annoyed at myself for only discovering it about 2 months ago... but at least that much good came from 2020! Rock on guys!
I think there is a lot of potential with those wide range humbuckers.
Fifties Modified Tele
Which "them"? And why no likey?
Nice licks Lee
For those wondering why people don’t like the wide range humbuckers, they’re essentially just regular humbuckers in the bigger wide range cover. Look up DylanTalksTones video on wide range humbuckers.
That one Pete is playing in the intro looks really sweet! Sounds awesome too
uptown strat is amazing wow
I hope they bring these back out one day.
I've been watching the lessons that Lee did with Justin and the ones with Pete and Ariel before that while hoping to get some tips to up my guitar playing as well. The captain has come such a great long way in terms of confidence and his playing!
Where can I find those?

It’s Always Good To Listen To You Guys While On Lunch Break At Work It Just Makes The Day Better 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
If I was in the UK, within 100 miles of Andertons, I would be at your store every day. You guys are great....OH! and I'd get one of those uptowns!
That last jam?! Holy moly. That was some wicked brilliant screaming guitar genius.
Good job Pete and captain. Thank you Andertons!
That uptown strat seems great for some fusion. Assuming the feels is good and all that.
Quite simply love all three of those Parallel Universe models you have there. Loving the sound of that Uptown.
That feedback from Pete is immense!! Great sounding guitar!
Only heard that howl from unpotted pu's. Surely Fender aren't doing that, so wonder what's the secret of the new "imitation wide-range" pu's?
Best sounding Strat Ive Heard
6:20 is the perfect explanation of a test bench. You put the item being tested in use with other items that are the best in those fields to see how it interacts with those things. If the guitar was actually bad it would just suck on a good amp and sound even worse on a bad amp lol. But people just don’t understand that I guess 🤷🏽♂️
Love the sounds that Pete is getting out of the uptown funky-wunk strat. ❤️😎
Pete has invented a new signature sound - that guitar, amp, pedal combo is amazing!
This video made me smile.....A lot. Killed it boys. Thank you.
man that guitar is wonderful. Uptown Strat.
Now that is a cool strat! I’d prefer it with a Hardtail, but I know it’s not about me all the time. Then I remembered I can just block the trem and change to black and silver top/top hat knobs and my perfect strat!!! A Sunday post made my day! Thankie...
I look forward to your jams more than the actual review of the products , is that bad ? Any idea where I can get backing tracks off either Lee or Pete ?
I’d thrown some coin down for that!
Pete got the same feedback note as the intro to UFO's Let it Roll. Cool!! 😎
Ok can I just say that the captain’s brown high tops are SO cool
Up townSstrat looks & sounds WICKED! good job Pete!
Now that was an outro !!!!! 🤘 😎 🤘
Superb strat ! The white finish is awesome
Another epic jam for the ages...
Humbuckers in the static white look like ones in my old 1970 Thinline, they sounded gorgeous.
Ok Pete’s strat actually looks freak’n badass!!!!!
Killer tones from all 3 guitars!
Keep it up, guys!
I really dig the p90 strat..killer tone great playing.....😎👍👍
If they offered that uptown strat in a flat daphne blue I’d have one so quick it would make your head spin. Killer sounding guitar.
That Uptown is spectacular - I gotta get me one !!
Wow.. Amazing tones guys, fantastic intro
Lee is playing amazingly here! I do have to point out a funny moment though, at 1:32 he reaches for where the trem is on a normal strat and misses completely cause of the jazzcaster hahah
I'd really like an HH tele with those kind of pickups, kinda like the macmull heartbreaker neo, but at reasonable prices.
How different is this to the Troublemaker Tele? Is it just the same thing with a trem and strat body?
the outro jam is just FAYAH! It's like Neil Young with Crazy Horse level of goodness, in a big part to those vibrato sounds that Lee was getting out of that Dorado.
that Uptown Strat is the first new production fender I have wanted in a long time.
Anyone else notice him miss the whammy at 1:34? Great jams as always guys
The best sounding guitar on the channel.......ever?
The white Strat sounds like it's got one of those Fernandes Sustainer things built in.
== i cant stand when people use weird effects when all you want is to hear a clean tone
man o man that strat paul is FANtastic!!!
That was a MAD performance, wow!
That uptown Strat will fly it’s completely awesome 😎
Its Chewsday init? That Uptown Strat is my favorite Strat of them all, double hums, individual Vom/Tone controls, a faint paintjob showing the grain, Fender needs to keep this and the Spark-o-Matic Jazzmaster around those are my 2 favs.
Nice to see Pete's playing authentic. :D
Pete’s playing on that into was just ridiculous!
I love it and I’m gonna buy one, but I *think* it would look better with a stoptail?
With those pickups the 2 point trem makes perfect since
Pete's playing reminds me a lot of Mark Knopfler, because of the dynamics, and having phrases of a few notes followed up by long sustained notes and silences
Finally, the stratopaul
these jams are gold
They really should Squier all those quirky guitars.
Or at the very least make cheaper fender ones. Which would actually be pretty cool, as they seem to just make them squire versions after they've made high end fender ones, not to say they aren't good (because squires can be great) but it would be nice to have an in-between.

Yes. You could put a recessed tunomatic and string through body config. It would sell out. I passed on this one because of the tremolo.
You got me at block inlays.
Oh my! I love this STRAT!
That headstock has given me a hernia.
That Uptown Strat with a Schaller wrap tail adjustable bridge, for all that mahogany! JMHO.... 8) --gary
Good day to you both....coffee cups up...cheers.
Wish it wasn't so darn expensive
Yeah, I was very excited for it until I saw the price. :-/
I am not really a fan of the Jazzmaster trem fan, but I like it on the Jazz Strat and I really dig that Uptown, its almost like Fender said “Hey Gibson, I got your authentic ‘right here’!”
Great jams. I loved
That made my Daytona cobra run better thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎🍺🎼🎸🇺🇸🇱🇹
Bjorn Riis would love that Uptown Strat....That TONE is so Airbag....
Am i the only who feels these guys are becoming celebrities? I've been watching this show for years, and I'd be star struck if i met either ones on the street lol
I really quite like the look of it, pretty classy look and of course, it sound great especially when you guys are playing!
The captain is playing like a beast!!!!
A bass in this series would be amazing
I like that tremolo on the uptown strat
I love this guitar and I ordered it yesterday and hope the neck feels good. I can report then gladly also times. Friday she should come.
As a Bigsby owner, they make nice ornaments, and that's about it.
Excellent playing, Cap. Also, it would be great if Amazon would do a Prime Day deal on these LOLOLOLOLOL
That blue one has a pretty nice Pensa vibe to it.
Ending jam reminded me of the Home Depot ad song haha Great guitar! Sounds and looks very unique
Pete doing his best impression of Frank Warren 9:35
This would be an epic time for an epic deal & video for some EVH gear. RIP Edward.
So glad I ordered one. Still haven't broken the news to the wife though. Wish me luck.
If she boots you out, you & the guitar can come stay at my house.
@@mycosten-12 Broke the news and she’s cool with it. I knew I married well.
👍 I know the feeling man. 😰
The guitar is still coming to stay with me though, right?...
Good demo, I'm a tele guy. Pete has sold me on the uptown cat!
You were right Pete and Lee!! In France we call pedal "une pédale" or "la pédale"... And yes there is french people here watching your videos!!!
