excellent demonstration Rich, the Fender Vintera series is tremendous, one of the best that Fender have brought out in recent times. Greetings to you from Chile in the south of the world !!!
I just ordered this guitar today. Of course I thought I would watch a video about it. And of course, you had a video that was amazing to go with it. I freaking love your channel. Of all the UA-cam guys, you seem like the most normal guy to have a few beers with. And a few more beers for good measure.
@@barancelik74 I play it all the time. Stays in tune like a champ, is super comfortable, but REALLY needs a boost pedal…the pickups are pretty low output/thin depending on your rig.
Hilarious intro! I never thought I’d ever buy a relic. I just got one of these in red...it’s definitely a keeper. Hated to mess with anything because the setup was sweet when it was delivered. But, I put some Ernie Ball Skinny top heavy bottoms on there, adjusted the trem, and it was good to go.
These Vintera series guitars are incredible. I have the 50s Modified Telecaster, with the fatter of the different Soft V necks (which I think is the best neck in the business). If anybody's debating getting either a Strat or Tele version - you will not go wrong with is series.
Hahaha best intro yet. I'd like to wake up to an original Tele Deluxe with wide range PUs. "No, no. Age is just a number. You still have all the right moves. Like the best wines, you only get better as time goes by."
Nice demo!! Lots of great playing!! I bought one in Fiesta red about a week ago. MIM Strats have come a loooong way!! I love the way mine feels and sounds. The lightly relic'd look is well done too, and I used to hate relic'd guitars.
Just bought this guitar yesterday in Munich. It’s a real beauty, it sounds fantastic and it’s just wonderful to play. I like your video, because you‘re playing more than talking, well done...
Sounds amazing and kudos for throwing in that Bryan Adams / Tina Turner riff from Its Only Love. Now I must revisit that tune. And now you’re playing Somebody which is also killer.
my wife bought me this guitar from main street guitars for our 20th anniversary, sounds much better when you play it. I do love it, its the guitar I pick up the most. Great demo.
Great playing and i like the colour. Did you hear about the lady who was in court for beating her husband with his new guitars? The judge asked her .... first offender???? She said no.. first a gibson... then a fender.
Another great video. Strats are the Swiss army knife of the guitar world, which makes the Tele a Bowie knife? Chef's knife? But Strats... shred, blues, funk, chicken pickin', they do it all.
Teles do more. You’d be surprised at just how many genres you’ll find teles. Arguably the single most versatile design ever. And i prefer strats too. Jus bc you have two more tonal options doesn’t mean they’re very versatile options. They say a good lp sounds like a hot tele for a rzn..
@@Coolbeans1492 I'm a Tele player, but I appreciate the flexibility of a Strat. The 2 and 4 positions give something Teles can't offer, unless you have a Nashville, which I'd rather have anyway.
Allways great content rich . Myself I bought the very first mexican run of road worns 50s and 60s sunburst strats. I feel they are 2 of the best guitars and best value I have ever purchased .glad fender brought the road worns back .Besides you could walk from ensanada to corona millions do it every year ! LMAO
@@RichBischoff Back then they went overboard on the maple necks but after ten years of my finger gunk its looking more realistic and they have been much improved since. o yeah they were 750 new back then now over 1g on reverb so hold value.
Pretty cool guitar , like the color and the sounds comin out of it . Aint it a bitch when ya get up the top end and run outa frets and ya cant grab that note ur after lol ;-)
Why is it that none of Fender's made-in-Mexico models have 22 frets? How come it's only the ones made-in-China, made-in-Indonesia or - dare I say it - made-in-USA that include that feature?
Okay man, will you be doing that goofy intro on every upload from here on out? Hehehehehehe! I could easily see myself getting a Strat in that surf green (or else have it replace the sunburst finish of my current one). It cries Jeff Beck. Only, the Strat that I had custom assembled for me in 2019 has all but spoiled me against the blade selector and having only 21 frets.
Look i got a brilliant idea Fender. Make the damn nitro laquer relic the neck because the neck feels insane but God plz leave the relic alone on the body. Let the player leave his real mark. Not sure if any one really likes the relics but it feels great I will say
Bought a LOT of American, MiM, Chinese, Indonesian, Squier, Sterling Cutlass,Silver Sky, and G&L “Strats” over the years. I would have preferred this one to have been under $1000, but the guitar is pound for pound one of the best I’ve had. Talking strictly Fender...the company will actually end up cannibalizing American Strat sales with solid MiM alternatives like this one and their price increases. That and making people look elsewhere. $1000 is a powerful threshold that they’ve crossed with MiMs, and not everyone will follow. I’m a little annoyed 🤔.
I wish they would make a 50’s nitro strat that isn’t pre-worn or relic. That sounds great but am I going to spend $1000 on a new guitar that looks used? Not my thing.
dang.. I was going to buy one of these before I saw this.. I think instead... yeah, I'm going to go retrieve all of my guitars, line them up and apologize to them for the life I forced upon them... years of physical and sonic abuse. their poor souls aching with the knowledge that their DNA has not allowed them to forget. tonewood. next, I will gr

Love this vintera road worn guitars, they're absolutely killer.
Maaaan I still want one of these. Gorgeous!!

how is it playing?

Brilliant demo and great playing as always. That guitar looks and sounds incredible.

That makes us two Münchner with that guitar ;)
I have a 2017 (pre-Vintera) Road Worn 50's in sunburst. Totally awesome guitar. The soft V neck is so comfortable.
Sounds amazing and kudos for throwing in that Bryan Adams / Tina Turner riff from Its Only Love. Now I must revisit that tune. And now you’re playing Somebody which is also killer.
I grew up with that album playing in the background as a kid...
@@RichBischoff That makes two of us. Keith Scott is so underrated IMO. No better time than 80s summers with MTV.
my wife bought me this guitar from main street guitars for our 20th anniversary, sounds much better when you play it. I do love it, its the guitar I pick up the most. Great demo.
Good wife!
Fine playing Rich... Fender paying attention to the Mexican factory and making really good guitars.. love the pick ups and the relic job!☺
Am glad fender has these mim guitars. Some are pretty close in price to some of the made in the USA stuff.
My Fiesta arrives( Godspeed) tomorrow. Strat 6 ( nitro 2) I’m excited
Just ordered this. Man I cannot wait to get it! Great playing too. Your video sold me on it!! Thanks
Welcome
just bought one frickin love it

You did this guitar justice in that intro jam. Just got it, man first tears of joy in my life...and no I'm not a virgin haha
Very clear -good relic balance too!
Yeah, this one is just an all around great guitar.
That’s a beauty
excellent video, would it be possible to upload a similar one for the Vintera Road Worn '60s ?
I think the store only had this model, but I can check.
@@RichBischoff much appreciated!
Hey there
I think you just helped me decide on pickups.
I hope they sound as good as you make them sound
Got the road worn tele absolutely beautiful .dream and fun to play to
Nice. I'd like to own that one.
...your playing 🔥
Sounds great !
Always heard good things about mim fenders from several different people . If i get another tele or strat it will b mim . Love the channel .
I'm thinking about getting a road worn tele, maybe find one used on reverb or something.
@@RichBischoff did ya ever get a road worn tele Rich ?
Your intro is better than the fender advert for this guitar LOL nice review
Val Kimber
1 second ago
Fantastic playing as always Rich!
Thanks Val. Every time I see your name I think Val Kilmer, that actor from the 80's.
@@RichBischoff One of my favorite actors!
They are going to sell a ton of these you can’t beat the feel and look for the price well done sir 🎸
Treat her right, 'cause I like her body too!😉🔥
And I enjoy her "backtalk" too, sounds lovely! Haha🤙😂

I think I'd like to own a road worn. Might be my next purchase.

Nice looking and sounds like stratocaster...I've been looking at the MIM strats and telecaster real hard lately
Yep I need one of them fender roadwork fast lol
How hot are the pickups? DCR readings?
Haha great intro.
These are around £300 more than the vintera without the road worn finish. Do you think the extra is worth it for a nitro finish?
Wondering what amp ur using , like how it breaks up .
Vox ac 15
SOLD
sound look like Ash Body ?
I’m between this guitar and the Telecaster Nashville. Any suggestions?
Tough call. I like them both.
Worth upgrading the pickups?
I liked the pickups in this guitar. I wouldn't change them.
Hey! I love your vid! I really want to buy this one, but I also need to buy a guitar amp. Do you have any recommendations? :)
Fender Princeton Reverb.
I didn't know Bert Kreischer had started to review guitars
Pretty cool guitar , like the color and the sounds comin out of it . Aint it a bitch when ya get up the top end and run outa frets and ya cant grab that note ur after lol ;-)
I yes it's a huge bitch.

you can pull off the road worn strat. someone hear and see me playing it and wonder who put the wear and tear on it!
Haha!
Which one is better Japan or Mexico?🤯🔫🎸
Look i got a brilliant idea Fender. Make the damn nitro laquer relic the neck because the neck feels insane but God plz leave the relic alone on the body. Let the player leave his real mark. Not sure if any one really likes the relics but it feels great I will say
👍🔥🎸🦅
The guitar nerd inside me keeps saying its still a Mexican strat but my ear says this sounds as good as any high end strat
I know right?? Should we buy it??
Most Strats since inception have been made by Mexicans......a lot of them in this country.
Bought a LOT of American, MiM, Chinese, Indonesian, Squier, Sterling Cutlass,Silver Sky, and G&L “Strats” over the years.

when i saw the intro i was like, what the heck
nice tone! I have seen that you are using a Vox ac 15 amp, are you using any pedal as well in ua-cam.com/video/Qsz2CJiR0GY/v-deo.html ?
Some Bryan Adams in there. Are you Canadian? Be well.
I tried one today. Played nice but had sharp fret ends sticking out. For the price, the fret work needs to be better.
Had this issue and sent it back to sweetwater and they dressed the frets, now its perfect!
Ahahahah!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!!!! Amazing intro!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful piece I totally want one. One knock. For fifty bucks more you can get an USA Strat.
Lol that intro
Creepy start🤣
Intro sounded like a blues song lol
I wish they would make a 50’s nitro strat that isn’t pre-worn or relic. That sounds great but am I going to spend $1000 on a new guitar that looks used? Not my thing.
Lmao!!!
Why are you sleeping in your jacket?
Vintage frets a deal breaker.

jk. love that thing!
ridiculous jam in the beginning
Funny.. This guitar sounds like a aquier classic vibe 50s with the chinese pickups
