If this is actually happening, a Mexican version with nitro, alder and rosewood will be the best way to go. I got the flea sign J-bass and everything about it is fantastic. Only issue was the setup. It was an issue for both me and my friend. But after a got a professional set up on mine it’s an amazing instrument! 🤩
yup, im excited. my only concern would be the price. The current market for signature artist price around $1600-1800 for Mexican Made.
@@ereimul1444 Yeah, but as soon as the instrument got nitro + relicing, you get into that price range. The fact that it’s an artist signature instrument will drive up the price a couple of hundred bucks tops. So considering the specs, I would say this is the most affordable way to go, without too much compromise. If it would be a custom shop signature, then it would be waaaay more expensive and imo the quality difference would not justify the price increase. :)
@@Vigi yup. actually i wanted to get those roadworn series but when i heard this news. i might go for Frusciante's guitar. we still got time to save up before it drop.
If it’s got a Pau Ferro board, it’s a hard pass for me.
Could just be some guitars sent in to give out or something.
It would be funny if that turned out to be in fact a custom shop and this dude just ripping into😂
Hard to guess on the price! MIM signatures vary quite a bit: the Jimmie Vaughn Strat is 1150, the Tom Morello Strat is $1700, the Jim Root Jazzmaster is 1800. Lots of MIM signature models with nitro are $1650 (e.g. the Jason Isbell, Jimmy Page)
the older mexican "road worn" series was fantastic, if they did a john sig similar to one of those models, i would go against my previous personal opinion and i would buy a fender strat
i also used to own a flea bass and i kick myself everytime i see one as to why i sold it, it was fantastic, ill buy another some day
I can probably guess it is gonna be a Classic Series 60’s Strat with relic’d laquer finish. Quality and price compare to Jason Isbell signature telecaster.
I wonder if his signature Strat be relic'd like his real Strat? If so, that'd be freakin' cool! If not, it'd just be a made in Mexico 60s Strat. I hope it's relic'd like the Eddie Van Halen Frankenstein Strat. It's made in Mexico, too! 😃🎸
i think it will be, the relic on his strat is the signature thing. Without it it will just be a normal '62 strat replica
Awesome video!
I can’t believe he’s doing something like this, but I’m not complaining! Hopefully I can afford it 😅
With the Flea Jazz, the Jason Isbell Tele, the HER Strat, the JMJ Mustang Bass, Ben Gibbard Mustang all in mind... Odds are you get a gig bag
really hope it comes out as a MIM road worn, it would be pre sold out for a year or two :D
He played it on Soul to Squeeze at the alamodome.
Wow, Nice. I've always had an American strat but i kinda gutted it anyway. This makes sense, as long as they fix the finish. Dave Simpson made a vid of him creating his John Strat, it looked identical.
nice
Well I own a classic player start made in Mexico since 2012, still a great guitar. If this signature will be at reasonable price as I think, I will get 1 for sure😊
It may be near in price to the Fender Jason Isbell Signature Telecaster. $1600 for that, which is MIM and has some relicing as well.
You called it
i wish Fender release the "Cant Stop" Stratocaster as well
When will it come out
crying in left-handed 😓😓
Great video! I didn’t know that John changed his neck to 9.5”, is it based on an interview? Did he swap his original one?
There is an interview with his ex guitar tech where he says the strats we planned from 7.25 to 9.5 radius, i am not sure if it is only the 62 strat or all of his strats.
He always used vintage guitars so I suppose they all had 7.25, if this come with 9.5 I prefer, I can t play 7.25
It’s probably going to be around the same price as the Jasón Isbell Tele.
John has resisted for a long time getting a signature model. Here is my theory. He told Fender he would do it but only if they could make one that was affordable and still played like his. John isn’t the type of guy to gouge people and I think he would only do it if it was an affordable yet elite level instrument. Which supports the MIM theory. I really hope it happens. He is one of the GOATS and has inspired generations of players. I think another good reference is the McCready signature model. MIM as well I believe.
If fender and JF want to sell his guitars, they’ll be Mexi’s. They can either sell 100 customs at $1800 or 10,000 at $650. Just because he plays vintage guitars doesn’t mean he won’t have a Mexican made strat.
So would this be a cheap budget guitar like under a thousand pounds guitar
One of the most iconic guitarists of all time with a collection of pre CBS fenders and fender only give him a Mexican strat 😭😭 should be custom shop level at least! I know not everyone can afford custom shop but don't do john like that. At least have both options.
Maybe they put custom shop guitars in mim boxes to throw people off since they were delivered to an arena.
The Isbell neck is very good, but i can't get past the plastic trust rod ajuster at the top of the neck. Stratosphere Guitars had an American Jimmy Page Mirror Guitar Neck in dark Rosewood 7.25 with tuners for $799.00 fit perfectly. Looks like the custom shop Guitar that Jason Isbell really plays. Check out old video of his concerts and you see the real guitar with no plastic ajuster at the headstock.
If the Flea is anything to go on the Mexican relics are really good
just a thought, but what if unaware to all of us JF fans, is that modern era John now doesnt give a shit about vintage, and is actually comfortable with MIM Strats? hahah I'd love to know and then laugh at the same time. eager to see where all this progresses to..
Whatever it is… I’m 100% getting it.
21 frets?
looks like the McCready model.
wait what, what did I miss that JF's guitar's neck radius is 9,5??
Yup, the radius was changed from 7.25 to 9.5!
@@JustinJeske on his original 1962? why? how?
@Eefje Harings why? Don't know. Flatter radiuses make bending as well as set-up easier. Also, 9.5" is not too flat as compared to Gibson (12"). How? A luthier removed the frets and flattened the rosewood board to 9.5" and then installed new frets and nut. It's a pretty easy job with the right tools.
Why exactly its great to get nitro for that price? Nitro laquer costs like 20 bucks a litre... maybe 20 cents per guitar.
there are no signature models in these boxes… guitarworld asked henry trejo about that picture… he said „unfortunately, its not what everyone is hoping for“
Henry's words don't really mean much. As John's tech I'd assume he legally can't say anything IF something is going on. So his answer would be the same regardless. Cool they reached out to him though!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does John using that replica mark the first time he's used a guitar built post-1970?
I just wanna' know.
edit: should probably clarify that I meant from since his initial return to the Chili Peppers, and I guess I'll suggest an answer to my own question by saying that the "Synth guitar" was the first guitar he'd used with the Chili Peppers since his initial return that was built post-1970.
I would expect a road worn 60s MIM. It was the closest before vintera. Now looking at the live photo I can see rosewood. That’s a good sign, not an orangy pao fero on vintera. I don’t believe John would approve of it.
That’s not a MIM box either. I have one and that’s not the box
So for the cost of 2 PRS silver sky SE’s you can get…..
Makes them look even better, hey?
@@JustinJeske I have the core model and it is amazing! I am a strat man, and have the LE John Mayer strat in mica green, and 2 other American made strats. I love them all, but the PRS is really something special. Even so, I can not think about purchasing another guitar without considering the SE silver sky. You just get so much more for your buck.
Bareknuckle make mothers milk pickups
I fear that it might be like the Kurt cobain roadworn jaguar
Just wonder how many more they would have sold if it was released 15 years ago. Now days true Frusciante fans are too old for mexican made signatures.
After 20 years of playing strats , I got a Silver Sky SE (made me stop missing my AmProII). It really made me realize how overpriced Fender guitars are.
Made in Mexico almost always means 5-7 wood pieces, hope this one wont be like that
Not ones I’ve seen
Whats the point? It really doesnt matter.
Some say it’s about the sound but anyway - it’s probably would be just not that pretty
Three at the most.
Signature series. 7 pieces ua-cam.com/video/xDTW0RX-n-A/v-deo.html
My Mexican strat I’ve had for like 30 years , and I’ve never played another guitar that is even close to playability . Anyone who picks it up says the same and can never put it down. The neck is so dam slick it makes it so easy to get whatever type of sound you want at any time , and I’ve played American ones too. I don’t understand myself what makes people think their American ones are so much better . Nothing you couldn’t custom anyway
American made Fenders are more homogeneous. They do better quality control, use better quality hardware, better selected woods and do great finishing.
You can find great mexican strats but its also easy to find bad ones. Its pretty hard to find bad americans.
@@nojesheiI had to return the 57 vintage ii because the intonation wasn't the greatest. I got lucky and picked up the 61 vintage ii on Reverb for 400 under msrp. It's a great guitar but the output jack was loose. It's all about the person that's working on it. Could be from any country. I know one thing, the Japanese are known for their attention to detail. I have a 1995 62 reissue and it's better than the American strats I had.
It seems that John is really short of money😳
