Teanna Rae I promise I am working on it! Thank you for your interest and I hope 2019 will be the year when I finally get my act together and finish some mixes (I do have some music happening) 😊
@@anshubhatia6609 I like the neck and fretboard just fine. The neck is a "modern C", and it has jumbo frets. I wasn't sure about the frets but since I got the guitar I like them a lot. The neck has a very comfortable finish, IMO. I don't think you would be disappointed.
I clicked on this to hear the aubergine tele which is awesome but that HSS Strat is insane ! So strong, that's a great sounding riff also thanks David!
You're a great guitarist! So precise, and the jam you've created sounds great. I own a Performer Tele Hum with maple board, and a Performer SSS Strat in Penny. They are great instruments and I hope to play them half as well as you some day.
@@benfrancoeur1913 Great instrument! Loved it. I played it at a lot of family gatherings, and it traveled well, and sounded great. I traded it to help fund a Les Paul, but it is definitely a guitar I would have again in a heartbeat.
I just got the black HSS as well. The maple neck was pretty dry out of the box, but once I oiled it and threw some NY XL's on, it is damn near perfect. I also adjusted the bridge/tremelo to sit lower.
Late to the party...... I got the HSS in surf green/maple neck, and I'm very happy with it. It's a versatile guitar. I just wish I could play as well as this gent. Maybe now that I'm retired, I can put some effort into it.
Awesome review thank you!!! Love your style, less talk, more sound with tones and simple but precise info on each guitar as you go along a quick and concise line. Great skill & playing of the guitars, all the same which makes it easier to compare their unique differences ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
espedale Whoops! I believe it was a 9.5” radius - certainly not vintage anyway. I must have forgotten to say while trying to remember all the other stats - time to get some cue sheets perhaps.. 🤦🏻♂️
@@salsabilahmedshrestho960 Relax. I was just giving him a hard time and he took it like a champ. Richard has thick skin and can take some playful elbowing like a champ because he is an amazing player and reviewer. You, on the other hand, need to acquire a sense of humor.
new guitar heroes found all over you tube, this guy is one
Man Richard must feel like a super hero with such awesome guitar skills. Always a pleasure watching this guy.
Anmol Karki Aww, thanks very much. I’m working slowly on some web content of my own this year, so please watch this space 👍🏻
Thumb up for Richard's playing! So tasty! Well devised demo of the guitars as well!
Agreed! Still waiting for him to upload content to his personal channel.. he said he would at some point.

That riff is as bad ass as any on a demo ive ever heard for sure only issue is when you play like that he can make a squire sound like a custom, lol .
Playing and feeling like that melt every guitar in his hands. Amazing.
Not sure about this series, but now it is a serious watch out.
performer series ...
Guitarist always has the best demos.
The black HSS 🤩
just ordered this exact HSS in all black with yosemite pups
great demo brother, can't wait to have this in my hands Fender is such a work horse
What's it like the strat?
I recently got the SSS in blue and I love it.
How do you like the neck and fretboard? I'm thinking about getting one, but I'm not sure a lot the maple fretboard on the SSS

@@Mrjtoomuch That's good to know! I'm going to buy one online, thanks so much for the input!
@@anshubhatia6609 My pleasure. I hope you enjoy the guitar as much as I do.
@@anshubhatia6609 Just got an Performer strat..!! And I love it..!! ❤👍
Outstanding playing Sir. Mega tone & touch.

All the essentials covered..well done!

How do you like the Tele with the humbucker? I’m looking to buy one…

Outstanding playing! As always you kill’it Richard!
What a demo! Amazing guitar player, incredible.
Brilliant demo! Thank you so very much 👌
I almost forgot... I am picking up new HSS version tomorrow!
Did you end up buying it? I'm thinking about doing it too, HSS version...
I certainly did. Exact one color and all as in the video. I love the Jumbo frets...surprisingly.
@@danlzlz8405 I hope you enjoy it. I bet it's such a versatile and fun axe. I love 70s style guitars in general.

I'm fancying the Tele Hum since it's out.
Beautiful playing on the intro, took me back to the 70s. Good man :)
Great Demo!!
Can you play heavy music with the HSS? And what amp can you suggest?
Yes. And a 6505 will do the trick
The perfect guitar in my opinion
Ssshhh!
Don't tell Keef!
As for the Stratocaster, my Eric Clapton is still the best all round for me 🎸
you are a guitar god Richard!
This guy is amazing. The English know how to rock
They sound really good.
Great demo ! Are the frets on the HSS Strat integrate sphreical ends ? So it seems on the video...
This guy is a blues rock monster..
Awesome awesome playing
the black one!
Considering updating my Strat from my Mexican workhorse to one of these. Just wish I could play this well lol
Ace, more please!
MeB4I’mfamous ! If they book me, I will come 😉

You can also have all 3 pups working at once. 7 way.
And also neck and bridge without the middle, which I really like.
Nice axes watch out Gibson
Got my HSS last month and it's made me a very happy man. Very solid axe.
It sounds like Blues Saraceno
N I C E
🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
Erm yeah sou d is broken?
My goal in life is to be Richard
I don’t know why they even put the middle position in teles
I gave you a thumbs-up, but you never gave the radius for the tele!
espedale Whoops! I believe it was a 9.5” radius - certainly not vintage anyway. I must have forgotten to say while trying to remember all the other stats - time to get some cue sheets perhaps.. 🤦🏻♂️
@@richardbarrettguitar1228 Nah, it was a great video. Thanks for making these and for answering my question so quickly. Enjoying your channel!
man, how lazy are you -_-
just google it.

Jumbo frets suck on these types of guitars. Too much like a railroad track. I'll keep my American Pro
If you have a Special or Pro, I don't think these are worth grabbing my HSS Special fits me
Dont think im a fan of those Yosemite pups.. sound a bit dry and not very chimey
Nice playing
