I think it’s awesome that you’re doing you! I love the Fender HSS’s! The rose gold is beautiful! My daughter has P.O.T.S. and EDS and more… it’s awesome you’re out here killing it! Sending this her way❤. We know what you’re going through all too well! Stay hydrated 😅 if you can❤ Keep it up 🫶
Appreciate you watching! Apologies for the late response. UA-cam doesn't do a great job of showing me a notification for each comment, so somehow I missed this. Hope you had a great week!
I bought a similar one recently from CME, except it is Shell Pink instead of Rose Gold. The climate I'm in is horrible on maple necks. Rosewood is very stable compared to maple in my experience. In my bass playing days I had several maple necked basses, they needed adjustments all the time. I had one rosewood necked bass and it didn't move in 10+ years. So when it came time for me to purchase a strat, I sought out a rosewood neck specifically. They feel so great also. I'm a Gibson owner, LP's and SG's, but sometimes you just need a good strat and yours is a keeper, hang on to it. As you grow as a player and really feel the different strengths and weaknesses of designs, you're gonna want a strat and that ones heirloom quality, something to pass down.
That is a really great point. I think I currently only have one strat with a maple neck, and it has been my "trouble" guitar for sure. I think you're onto something! Thank you for watching and leaving the comment :) I'm slowly leaning into Gibsons as well.
Wow thats a great sound right there, i like this. Also i see that i have to be quite a bit jealous about that you have a Jazz Chorus 120, not just any Jazz Chorus but the Anneversary model, wow thats amazing. I want one to, they say its the most clean amp available and a great amp to use as a pedal platform.. Thanks..
It's awesome when other people talk about the JC-120! I feel like it's a love it or hate it type of thing and I definitely love it! I'm excited to continuing exploring pedals with it! Thanks for watching and leaving such a cool comment.
@@AshleyOffset Fist time i heard about the JC-120 was in the early 90´s i think it was and that´s when i got told by a friend that James Hetfield from Metallica has one, and still do to this day, or maybe several, so i thought i had to go and get one to, so i had to almost force my parents to give me the money for it.. and so they did and i went to the local music store, they didn´t have it, sold out. But they had the at the time brand new Marshall Mosfet Lead 100 head and the 4x10 cab, so i got that instead. As of today i would have waited 2-3 weeks until the JC was in stock again and buy that instead. Long story short. :D
Fender really hit it out of the park with the Rose Gold. And who doesn't love a rosewood neck (especially with the reverse maple stripe and truss rod accents)!! Great demonstration of not only the variety of sounds but the beautiful tonal qualities or each setting. Great JOB!!
I have the exact same Strat and I love its versatility. I believe they did 500 strats and tele’s in rose gold for GC. They also did a Gibson Les Paul and a SG as well in rose gold.
Yup I found out about the Gibson versions from Trogly’s guitars channel. He showed all four models and did in-depth review’s of the Tele and Sg. I did some research when I got mine they were released for the holidays of 2018. Gc got the majority of them but Anderton’s in the u.k and a few other small shops got a handful as well. A post on a forum said there were 500 of each model made in Rose gold. At the time I had just gotten a Silver sky so I didn’t plan on buying another guitar for a while. But when I played that pink strat I had to have it lol.
Really enjoying your channel. Just FYI, Chicago Music Exchange does a lot of limited edition gear and factory special run colors. Even on budget stuff like Fender Player Strats, they'll have Lake Placid Blue or Sherwood Green when no one else gets it. There's a section on their site of all their exclusive gear, so it's easy to pop over and check for something special when comparison shopping. CME are kind of responsible for Gibson starting to do reissues. They collected measurements of a bunch of vintage Les Pauls and put in special orders of the exact specs they wanted. Gibson didn't even have the data to create reissues before then.
I have been stalking their site HARD! I had no idea about the history of them collecting specs and sharing with Gibson. Very cool..I really appreciate you sharing with me :)
Very Cool, Thankyou. Such a stunning guitar and well played. That full Rosewood Neck/Board is totally amazing. What is this "Selling" Gear you speak of, I can do the buying part but haven't learnt the selling part yet, lol. Cheers
This guitar is absolutely beautiful!!! Love the dark headstock. Super unique! Also great playthru and demo afterwards. Keep up the great work Ashley!!!
Killer guitar ! Don’t ever sell it, you will regret it and probably won’t find another for a decent price. Nice tone and playing… I’m thinking about modifying a squire and will probably do a shawbucker now, sounded so good.
That is an amazing idea! Please do that, and let me know what you think when it's done! I absolutely adore the Shawbucker, it just punches hard every time :)
I am glad you kept the guitar as it is pretty and the American Professional is a great series. I am a bassist and own an America Professional II 5 string Percision bass in the Miami Blue finish and maple neck. I really love it. Iown 19 basses so being a 5 string P bass it is unique. Great video.
Lovely guitar, like your grungy tone. Changing strings is not a modification any more than topping off windshield fluid …. Although my wife does not do that! Next video suggestion … Ashley Changes Strings. Worst that can happen is you over tighten the high e and break it.
Is the guitar very light? The way you were handling it made me think that it wasn't a heavy guitar.These are great guitars, they sound like the perfect strat.I almost bout that same guitar in shell pink but it was all single coils.I should have bought it! I was obsessed with my horizon silver sky at the time but I didn't realise that 7.25" radius was never going to be the right radius for me.But my horizon was very light and resonant
Your Bullet Tele is just the guitar for you to experiment and learn anything... Don't miss the chance, nothing really wrong you can do that can't be rectified 😊
Great looking guitar! I used to think I would mess something up while working on my guitars but finally decided one day to just do it. Now I can do my own setups on all my guitars. I find it very rewarding.
Ashley don't sell that guitar it's really cool looking and it sounds good! Ashley what song you were playing? I like it thank you and also hope you feel better.
Nice one! I bought a NOS 2017 American Professional Telecaster and a NOS 2017 American Professional Stratocaster a couple of years ago from a local shop. Both are great guitars, IMO.
Looks nice. I wish I could afford a custom Strat, $1300? Ouch! I'm not sure why you would spend so much when you're just starting out and aren't even in a band. 🤷♂️ I gigged with Squires and a used Mexican Strat I found for $300 and always recieved compliments on my sound.
Beautiful guitar and that neck is stunning!! @antonakis79ohyes threw out a wonderful piece of advise regarding the Bullet guitar. Best way to learn is to do. You can do it! Have a great day!
this is my dream guitar!! hope next year i'll buy this one
I think it’s awesome that you’re doing you! I love the Fender HSS’s! The rose gold is beautiful!

Keep it up 🫶
Omg don’t sell!!! You’re definitely making the right choice not to sell it. It is an investment if nothing else.
Man ashaley that is wicked sweet keep it going have fun that's what it is all about rock on great vid hope to see another
Joshua, thank you for watching and for the super nice words!
Looks and sounds fabulous!
Thank you!! 🎸
That’s a beautiful Strat! And sounds great
Thank you!! :)
You sound great on that strat! I love the rosewood neck.
Thank you, thank you! 😀
Beautiful guitar...nice color and cool neck.
Thanks!
Awesome guitar and sound!
I really appreciate that!! :)
Dang, that neck looks awesome with that color.
Totally agree! Thank you for watching :)
happy Monday....thanks for sharing

I have a friend with pots .. she eventually out grew it..
Hang in there 🙏
Really appreciate it!
I had one of those and sold it and I still regret it to this day.... keep that badboy
Rosewood neck and rose gold body
They shouldve put a rose decal on it somewhere
You know what? That would have been a nice touch! I would have loved that.

They also have this same exact line in Canada also, baby blue HSS...Pink sss, they play amazing
Thats a badass neck.
It feels as amazing as it looks. I always forget that until I pick it up!

Hahaha! Well now I know who to reach out to when I'm having one of my "moments" :) Thank you for watching!
VERY nice guitar!! Great playing also!! Whats the name of that song? And what amp are you playing thru? Most excellent tone!
This guitar is absolutely beautiful!!! Love the dark headstock. Super unique! Also great playthru and demo afterwards. Keep up the great work Ashley!!!
Thanks, Mickey!!
Killer guitar ! Don’t ever sell it, you will regret it and probably won’t find another for a decent price. Nice tone and playing… I’m thinking about modifying a squire and will probably do a shawbucker now, sounded so good.
That is an amazing idea! Please do that, and let me know what you think when it's done! I absolutely adore the Shawbucker, it just punches hard every time :)
Love that rosewood neck. I use hand sanitizer before handling my guitars.
Glad to know I'm not alone :)
Yea that axe is sweet im not big on humbuckers but I love that rosewood neck it looks and sounds great love the color plz dnt sell it
Thank you!
Your channel has easily become one of my favorite amateur/hobbyist gear channels. Keep on creating! 🤘🤘🤘
Whoa, thank you!! 🎸

Dang, 19 basses! That is awesome! I keep hearing how good they American Pro basses are. I bet it's fun to also just stare at all of them haha :)
Lovely guitar, like your grungy tone. Changing strings is not a modification any more than topping off windshield fluid …. Although my wife does not do that! Next video suggestion … Ashley Changes Strings. Worst that can happen is you over tighten the high e and break it.
Not a bad idea! Should be coming up within the next few videos!
Getting closer to 500!
That would be incredible! Can't wait :)

I'm curious to know how would you rate the Sterling/Music Man Cutlass CT50HSS Electric Guitar?
Your Bullet Tele is just the guitar for you to experiment and learn anything... Don't miss the chance, nothing really wrong you can do that can't be rectified 😊
Spot on good advise. Best way to learn is to have at it.
I’m not a fender guy,but that’s a sharp looking guitar. I like that a lot.
I do agree :) What brand of guitars do you prefer? I'm just recently branching out.
@@AshleyOffset I’m a les Paul guy. I’m currently looking for my first Gibson les Paul standard. I have a Epi now.
Really nice to see your ❤ for your Strat (and guitars in overall). Keep it up! 🤜🏽✊🤛🏻
I appreciate it, Jorge!
I looked online and a few of those are available..I am thinking of taking the plunge.
They're absolutely awesome. Go for it!
Great looking guitar! I used to think I would mess something up while working on my guitars but finally decided one day to just do it. Now I can do my own setups on all my guitars. I find it very rewarding.
I hope to be there one day!
Ashley don't sell that guitar it's really cool looking and it sounds good! Ashley what song you were playing? I like it thank you and also hope you feel better.
Thank you!! Heart Shaped Box :)
Good luck regarding the heart rate. Could be tied to your anxiety, though. The holter should hopefully provide some answers…
Heart shaped box. Nice
Thank you! I tried 😬
I'm more of a Gibson guy but I do love the feel of the American professional neck. Mine has the maple neck but it does play beautifully. Great vid!
I'm loving Gibson more and more lately, so I get it. I bet your maple neck Fender is beautiful!
Nice one! I bought a NOS 2017 American Professional Telecaster and a NOS 2017 American Professional Stratocaster a couple of years ago from a local shop. Both are great guitars, IMO.
That is awesome! I would love to own an American Professional Tele one day! Enjoy it for me :)
Sweet guitar! What were you playing through? It didn’t look like you were hooked into the JC. (Sorry if I’m mistaken!)
Playing through a Fender Automatic SE amp :) Good observation!
@@AshleyOffset sounded good!
Looks nice. I wish I could afford a custom Strat, $1300? Ouch! I'm not sure why you would spend so much when you're just starting out and aren't even in a band. 🤷♂️ I gigged with Squires and a used Mexican Strat I found for $300 and always recieved compliments on my sound.
It is nice. Thanks!
I've seen these selling for 1500 used on reverb, so looks like it was a solid investment to me.
Beautiful guitar. Do not sell it.
Thank you :) I think I'll keep her!
Lovely looking guitar dont sell it Ashley, very good demonstration of the tones, learn how to do a string change its so easy to do 🎸🎸
Thank you for watching! Definitely making myself do a string change soon. Thank you for watching the video and for the encouragement :)
That thing is gorgeous… Do not sell!
She’s a babe
Wait… you buy all of these guitars and you can’t change your own strings? 😂
Beautiful guitar and that neck is stunning!! @antonakis79ohyes threw out a wonderful piece of advise regarding the Bullet guitar. Best way to learn is to do. You can do it! Have a great day!
Hope your day is amazing as well!
