    does Cooper has his own channel? I mean lots of these so called talented YTber guitar players are showy on their skills but Cooper has his own league.. He's probably the most talented guitar player I've seen here on UA-cam. Heck he can make his own name. His skills are effortless asf.

    Welcome back, Mister Greenberg! Tummy cut? The joke on that years ago was, "The first year, they'll be living on love." After that the belly carve may come into play. I concur with Cooper: "We need to get the youth involved and engaged." Kids do not want to hang with people their grandparents age, and maybe not their parents' age either. Show 'em the Aerodyne, or newer acoustics, excuse me, guitars that their heroes are using. I've been looking at a Masterclass guitar by Kim Breedlove... I could possibly find a new latch to replace the broken one in the case... and exercise some other hand tools that my younger generations should know... The road goes on forever...

    Could you tell me how strong the humbucker on this one is? I love the guitar overall and I hope that the humbucker could handle metal. Not talking about extreme djenty stuff, but let's say a megadeth song from the 80? Would that work without sounding different in an awkward(!) way? Tele deluxe humbuckers suck, that's why I'm asking. I also thought about switching the single coils to lace sensors, cause man I love that blue lace tone overdriven

    • @ibanezman1025
      @ibanezman1025 4 місяці тому +1

      I’ve owned the Fender Ultra Luxe ($$$$), Fender AmPro II ($$), played Suhr’s and other expensive strat style guitars and for me the Aerodyne was the best! It had a cool vibe, played and sounded fantastic and was the least expensive. It has a wider nut width (43mm) and a 12 inch radius so it plays a little more modern. Give it a try!

    • @ibanezman1025
      @ibanezman1025 4 місяці тому +1

      Just to add, my experience is that the fit and finish of the Made in Japan Aerodyne is miles ahead of the others, and beats the American version on features and build quality. You simply get more and a better instrument for your money, if you dig how it looks.

      What's fit and finish' I hear that All the time and nobody ever explains it' is it just a term guitar players came up with and everybody wants to use it?

    • @ibanezman1025
      @ibanezman1025 3 місяці тому +1

      Fit and finish for me means that there are no sharp fret ends, no blemishes, no uneven frets or dead spots on the fretboard, the nut is properly cut, proper intonation, electronics are properly wired without corners cut, and so on. I had a $2500+ Fender Ultra Luxe that had lacquer covering some of the stainless frets as well as a faulty tone switch, two examples of poor fit and finish on such an expensive guitar. The aerodyne was flawless.

    • @ibanezman1025
      @ibanezman1025 3 місяці тому

      The Fender AmPro II I had was nice but the nut wasn’t cut very well and as such the guitar didn’t keep in tune very well. Again, a little more time spent on “fit and finish” in making sure the instrument had more care given to it would’ve made for a better guitar.

    how good is the tremolo? You guys don't demo it why? Will a chord stay in tune with itself when detuned by the Whammy (like an actual Strat will NOT)?

    • @johnmclaughlin763
      @johnmclaughlin763 11 місяців тому +1

      The trem is the best I’ve ever played. I have the 3 single coil version. Just got it. I have 20+ guitars of all models. This is the easiest to play, the best tremolo and plays rock and metal as well as my Ibanez, schechter, Jackson and Les Paul’s. I’m a mostly blues player and I may never play another guitar. Straight into tubes this thing is so clean but plays breakup points and full distortion beautifully. It’s unreal.

  • @rexrathtar3893
    @rexrathtar3893 Рік тому +2

    I like these, but probably not enough to get instead of a more conventional Fender strat. Price wise these sit at the same level as the JV modified strat, which is the one I think I would rather get instead.
