Tbh the last time I saw John was his in-studio stream recording for the song Nefarious. Comparing his posture and neck position from then to now, the curvature to his spine is more noticeable. This might just be conjecture, but my heart goes out to him. Hopefully it doesn't advance too rapidly and he can find a treatment so he is still able to enjoy his craft. :/
Man… Browne we miss you! Immediately after watching this close to midnight I got inspired and instead of sleep I picked up my guitar and recorded an idea in DADGAD half a step down on a voice memo. Thank you for always being an inspiration homie! ❤ wishing you a speedy recovery and all the best brother!
Ah yes, the undefeated rhythm world record holder John Browne 🥇 Glad to see you pop up in my feed mate, always just the tasty notes from you innit 👌 Love your work ❤️
Hey brother. You're one of the most incredible and unique guitar players on the planet. I wish you a good recovery and hope to hear you're back making music with the boys (or in any capacity) soon. Nothing but love for your style as you've helped me really lean into the style of playing that I enjoy for myself. One love brother man.
that bridge pickup sounds lovely love how flubby the low end is and the glassy high end it has wish it had more mids but you can dial that in with your gear. sounds like a really solid shred machine to me more than a riff machine unless you do really chord heavy riffs kinda like a mark holcomb type sound. to me the best way i'd describe the sound is if a mathrock/midwest emo guitar went metal
Sounds awesome. Amazes me how versatile today's instruments are. Things you wouldn't expect to cover the high gain tones you play do it pretty well. This guitar and the Yamaha shocked me.
Can't believe I was listening to Monuments earlier today, imagining what it would look/sound like if John played something Fender, and here we are! Not only that, but he's playing the model and color I was looking at most lol.
Surprised that they added luminlay side markers but not stainless steel frets. I know they used to put them on the Ultra Luxe models but for $2200 US you'd think they'd have them on a modern "ultra" strat. I personally moved on to G&L decades ago for my Strat and Tele needs. You can order those with stainless frets too if you want.
That clean outra was a vibe, reminded me of Wes Borland's similar parts. Your playing is an absolute joy to listen to, hope you're recovering well mate. ✊
Don’t love it for the staccato riffing, but the chords sound great distorted, and-not surprising-the cleans are very nice. Appreciate you demoing it in this context. Wish you the best in your recovery, and thanks for the riffs 🤘🏽!
Your electrical problems could be due to ungrounded outlets. If that isn't the case, then installing isolated equipment grounds at each outlet will help too. Power Amps and Monitors almost always want isolated grounds
Hey Browne great video as always i was curious im not sure If you can even answer this really but I was wondering when you were with Mayones you primarily used the BKP Nailbomb in the Bridge and Coldsweat in the neck and ive been curious since you have had your signature Schecter for a while now would you say the Colossus Bridge and chaos breaker neck pickups are as good or similar or did you kind of get to just come up with your perfect set cause I don't believe the nailbomb and coldsweat where a signature set for you. I was just curious is all I understand if you can't get into or if you see this message at all. Love your videos gonna be signing up for riffhard been working hard on learning Cardinal red and Makeshift Harmonies just wanted you to know those 2 songs lit a fire under me when I was in a rut and couldn't get out so thank you for being well Browne. Cheers 🎉
I keep seeing The John Browne signature Schecter guitar and it's in my consideration for a new guitar - I'm a lefty and it's available in left handed and I'm looking for something without a floyd rose. I've been playing with FR's and tremolo bridges for almost all my guitar playing life (20+ years) and I've never used the bar lmao. I'll be honest, I've never heard of John before and I have heard of Monuments but never listened to them. With that said, I like his playing style. I may just grab one of the Schecter TAO-6s. It's a little cheaper than the Made in USA Schecter, I just found on Reverb (it's a masterbuild, lefty, new oldstock and cost 5400 to have built but is only 3200....not cheap but it's sweeeett). This guitar sounds great and looks great. I'm a stratocaster guy, through and through, but I need a little bit more for my playing style (melodic death metal/the kind of stuff that John plays), so, I haven't really considered a Strat, except for a hardtail but those are exceedingly rare in lefty and they aren't tricked out for metal at all.
Do you have any dimmers in your space? I was having bad issues in my studio and discovered it was a dimmer switch in my master bathroom on the opposite side of my house
It’s only just appeared so I think it’s potentially a bad cable as nothing has changed. Doesn’t do it with amps either so it’s potentially the DI box? Who knows!
In my case, I have a new house, which means it has a smart meter instead a conventional electric meter, and they don’t send electricity consistently like old ones; it sends the electricity in bursts, which causes a LOT of interference. Sucks, but now noise gates are my friend.
Does Fender make anything that's not good? Jackson, Charvel, EVH, and the Fender stuff are all great. Amps, guitars, pedals all of it is great. We're living in a Fender golden period. Enjoy it and buy something from them because it's good. Not hard to find either. 🤣
Fender is sending that same exact guitar to every influencer on UA-cam. Not saying the guitar isn’t great, I’m sure it is. It’s just funny every guitar tuber is reviewing the same guitar.
Love a good strat, I just can’t get on board with not having stainless frets above 1500$ these days. They used to say “stainless is expensive because it’s hard to work with” then LTD, Harley Benton and several other entry level brands showed that isn’t really the case. Fender gate keeps the stainless for ultra luxe… which is 2500+, basically creeping in on used suhr territory for 1/4 of the QC and craftsmanship. Their USA line is just in a weird spot price wise.
your getting your noise from your power source itself like from your utility supplier you can get filters for that also check that your building is grounded well.
Love ya John, good to see you posting since the Monuments announcement.
What happened with monuments?

Wishing him all the best. One of the GOATS. Love you brother and hope things get easier and better.
Good to see you back John, hope you get well soon and bring back some sick riffs
Happy to see the greatest right hand in the business uploading

Good to see you're doing okay mate
Man, I haven’t heard anyone refer to a Strat as a “Fat Strat” in years. Brings back memories of growing up and learning guitar
such a beautiful instrument. i really dig the color so much. the black metal pick guard, the maple fret board. it looks so incredible.
Ah yes, the undefeated rhythm world record holder John Browne 🥇
Glad to see you pop up in my feed mate, always just the tasty notes from you innit 👌
Love your work ❤️
Just goes to show you it's not the guitar, it's the player. Top notch as always Browne. Hope you are well, wishing you a speedy recovery mate.

Nice to see a new video! Hope you're doing well ❤

Life is certainly a trip. Esp when you're aware of the synchronicity happening everywhere.
I could watch John noodle on a guitar all day, this is amazing. Glad to see you're doing OK!
Beautiful playing John

Leo and George in final form.
I personally don’t like Fender as a company, but these new ultras are doing it to me.
Amazing to see you John, hope you are doing well.
I always wonder what riffs we see you play in these that we'll see on a future album :) hope you get well soon man.
I just love to watch Browne playing.. Damn I missed his gear reviews!
Would love to see you do the Ultra Tele!
Babe wake up John browne just posted!!!
That clean outra was a vibe, reminded me of Wes Borland's similar parts. Your playing is an absolute joy to listen to, hope you're recovering well mate. ✊
Always great to hear you chugging away, your sound is unique.
Woohooi!!! John Browne is back on UA-cam!!
Hope you get even better dude, glad to see you back
Hey John, good to see you well !
Love seeing some demo vids again!
Love seeing you jam on a strat John! 🤘 ... great demo, cheers!
Seeing you again made my day! Welcome back!
I want to see the thickest possible strings on this thing detuned and through the nastiest fuzz for the ultimate doom sound.
What a surprise another Fender Ultra ll review.
Miss ya Browne hope your doing well! Glad to see ya still chuggin!
John, your riffs are awesome
John being... well John - even on the Stratocaster ) Same signature sound on any instrument!
Don’t love it for the staccato riffing, but the chords sound great distorted, and-not surprising-the cleans are very nice.
Appreciate you demoing it in this context. Wish you the best in your recovery, and thanks for the riffs 🤘🏽!
Missed you bro! Glad to see your in decent spirits. Stay strong!
I could listen and watch you play guitar all day, holy shit I wish I could play 😂
Fire review, fire riffs! Hope you'll get better soon!💜
Good to see you man!
John Browne! Mad respect for your artistry, good sir. Excellent demo!
Peace,
Trey B.
JB good to see you holding a guitar!
There is also something about you as well John . 🤘 Amazing playing .
We love you Browne, it's good to see you, you utter legend.
Riff Lord riffin it up as always.

JOHN'S ALIVE! YEAAAHH!!!
That color is sick. 👍🏻
amazing playing, beautiful guitar
Nice to see ya ol chap

So good on the Valvestate!
Good day when you see JB hope you good homie 🤙
nice sneaky bit of Fellsilent at 21:54 🤤🤤🤤
Brilliant high gain sounds. Btw, try unplugging the wallplug for your backround led lights, those chepo chinesium transformers are noisy.
chinesium :D I'm so gonna steal that
tbh chinesium doesnt exist as much anymore now its just american, thai, or indonesian. but chinesium is too good of a name to give up
Those cleans sound so good
Excellent 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Dang you got the best colour too
Sounds amazing!
he can make any guitar sound good lol ❤❤
Djent Eric Clapton. Didnt think id ever hear that :D
NICE PLAYING
Thanks for sharing!
Hope you’re doing good bro!

King of DADGAD! hope you get well soon
Sounds good as sh!t😮. Great playing John.
A blacked out model would be awesome.
I wish fender makes 24 fret because Ultra is hard to play frets over 20 due to its shape.
Sounds nice
I’m buying that one because of you you fault
We do love our Strats😅 don't we

With a Floyd Rose Original and lower price it would be nice.

Fender gave me the option of which one (except for meteora because it was already running low!)

Looks nice and sounds nice, but what's so special about these guitars?
Djent is in the hands.
My strat can do metal very well. And it is partostrat for 1/10 of the price of this guitar.
Broadcaster.....Then Nocaster
Thank you! I wasn’t much of a tele guy so it remained hazy….
Modern? There are other brands doing it better and less expensive.
That colour did me remember my sunday morning freind...... ah! Here he is 🤢🤢🤢🤢
Looks awesome in person! Its like a yellow gold
@@JohnBrownemonuments 😀
As if there's any real difference, I doubt it. How boring of a guitar can you find? 😞

I have not found filters that get rid of cell phone activity
