The captain is getting better and better, that was some nice playing!
Yeah at the end he went a bit Hendrix!!! 🤘🏻
@@gaysquirrels6915 Agreed man!
@@westwoodlynx7059 I really enjoyed that vid!
The first Jam had me in awe, fantastic playing from Lee!
True
I don’t care how many times I look at a Stratocaster I never get tired of admiring its beauty.
Same. Always liked them, but recently got back into playing, sold my HH Strat, bought an SSS, and suddenly it hit me how iconic that 3-single coil Strat, white or mint green on those classic colors, maple or rosewood neck with the smaller headstock and spaghetti logo are. It’s THE electric guitar.
I was wondering if perhaps I was basic for really admiring it.
I love the middle pickup of a Strat! It has all the pros of the neck and bridge pickups and none of the cons. The middle pickup is brighter than the neck pickup but not too bright, as the bridge pickup sometimes is. The middle pickup is never muddy or too boomy as the neck pickup sometimes is, but has more bottom end than the bridge pickup. For any rhythm playing the middle pickup alone is great.
Compared to the in-between positions? The middle pickup alone has more clarity and punchiness. So in conclusion, the middle pickup does not exist solely to be a companion for the neck and bridge pickup.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Those points can be considered the weaknesses of the middle pickup, at the same time. Not as much bass and roundness as the neck pickup, not as much piercing treble as the bridge. I do use my middle pickup when I need an "alternate bridge-pickup" tone.
@@iagobroxado well, yes, but I hear far more complaints about the neck pickup being too bassy and muddy and the bridge pickup being too sharp and trebly, than vice versa.
Didn’t Bonnie Raitt use the middle pickup a lot? Maybe Lowell George too, I don’t know....
Well, it's a good thing they're all there. Something for everyone.
Yes. I am nobody, but I also enjoy using midlle pick up without any combination with the others. His vision is perfect and that's how I also think about the middle pick up. Rory Gallagher used midlle pick up a lot and loved it.
Jerry Garcia - middle pickup signature tone - used a Strat in the early 70's. Wow, Fender is really doing a great job lately! Great Jam, guys!
Finaly someone acknowledges captain trips. Do a sounds like andertons!
@@jakezimmermann6454 Yes please sound like Garcia by busting!
Man, imagine if GIbson built Epiphones the way Fender USA builds their MIM guitars. Perfect replicas for the price.
Or if Gibson made guitars also in Mexico...
I have a epiphone les paul plus top pro 1960's tribute... with they would have used nitro.
Ehmmm Jay idk the one MIM guitar I have has a fretboard issue. It smells really bad and I’ve had it for quite a few years. Tried everything to get rid of it. It repels me and I stay away from it sadly. Other than that it’s fine.
Thousand dollar Mexican guitars. Get your wallets out. If you can't afford Mexican. I guess you have to go squier.
That's inflation for you. A thousand dollars in 2019 would be about 650 dollars in 1999 money.
This reminds of how much I like Strats, and how versatile they are. Mine's been the main guitar for my country/classic rock cover band for the past six years.
You guys need to get a video from or live-feed with Alberto as he goes through his complete guitar setup at the factory "How does Alberto do it?".
Is it petty that I won't get the strat version until it comes in black or red?
It's out in Fiesta red rn.
Sticker over trem arm hole keeps the small spring from falling out. The Spring is there to keep trem arm from flopping around. Everyone seems to lose the spring early in guitars life, in turn consigning the arm to a life of floppyness
Excellent advice, cheers!
We all lose our springs through the years relegating us to floppyness
Try the blue spring it will keep it stiff
never knew this lol, probably one of the randoms springs i found over the years
Take the spring out a load it back it with bearing grease. It won’t fall out any more.
Way to go Alberto, just wanted to give props because a perfect setup guitar from factory is a beautiful thing.

I broke down and bought my first mim, it's the Vintera 50s strat. Had my doubts, but it's a great guitar. I play it more than my american standard strat that I also love. The Vintera has a bunch of usable and distinct tones, especially when I play it fairly clean. Very unique guitar.
What doubts did you have? Did the pickup switch plastic head come off the knob?
I know this is a old comment. But I agree, My brother picked up the 60s vintera jazz bass he got a great deal on it. It plays and feels better than his Highway 1 USA bass.
If the MIM is bothering you only thing you would have to change on it is put some custom shop pickups in it and call it a day. The build quality on these guitars feels better than some USA ones I've picked up.
That closing jam was fantastic! The Captain is getting better and better every day!
God that intro jam had the feels !!! Captains playing is forever improving and Pete’s playing is mega as usual
These Vinteras are legit! Good job Fender!
I just got my sunburst 60's a few weeks ago. Phenomenal strat, and well built!!!
Dude the captain's playing and tone 👏👏👏 truly inspiring how good he has gotten. He's stepping into that beast mode zone.
Fender has to love you guys so much, you're probably singlehandedly responsible for selling more Fender guitars than anyone.
Lee, I thought Clapton is your fav player? He is parking on middle pickup 90% of the time nowadays
Thank you
A Danish Pete and Captain guitar jam will never disappoint you
Dang i like how the 50’s look but i like how the 60’s sound. I want a 60’s with a maple fingerboard!
Yep... I was sure I wanted a 50s. Went to a shop yesterday and tried 50s and 60s... they both sound amazing in different ways and I just can't choose 😭
I bought the 60’s and it’s amazing!
Bought the 60's in surf green and did a neck swap with my Jimmy Vaughn. Now I have a 60's vintera with a maple board and fat soft v profile. Pure strat heaven.
Couldn’t agree more
Been waiting for a 50s strat in the style of a 59 with a rosewood neck
Also the captains playing is sooo good now! And Danish Pete always tears it up. Absolutely beautiful.
Played one today at a guitar store and was blown away. Great playability, great feel, great sounds. Just from off the wall it played better than most guitars that I've had setup to cater to my own idiosyncrasies. Absolute bargain.
Great video, guys! The Captain has become a great player over the years. I do take issue with the video being labeled a "review", though. While y'all do throw in plenty of your opinions, that doesn't change that most of the video is demo and advertisement material.
Robin Trower - definitely the guy who has talked about the large headstocks (and fat necks) - and who incidentally uses the middle pickup a lot. Rory Gallagher used the middle pickup on his Strat quite a bit too... Hendrix also used it some.
When you need a good review and Andertons gives you just what you're looking for ♥️
I'm going to take 1:29 lick and you can't stop me! One of the best introes you've played...
You're too kind! We kind of like it though, so we'll probably keep hold of it for now! ;)
It's been said again and again, but man, Lee's playing has improved drasticly! Cheers Cap! You really inspire me to pick it up and get better!
Very Clapton and Hendrix sounding indeed, which is such appropriate representation of the Strat it seems! Awesome playing by both of ye!
I recently purchased a Fender American Performer tele in Satin Green and it's the best guitar I've ever played and owned now I'm so close to picking up one of these Vintera Strats. Fender is on fire!
... And long may it continue!
The outtro was oozing the phat 70'ties vibes all over. Amazing playing, gents. Lee's end solo was on point. 😎👍
what effect is on at 28:00 min??
Man there at the end the Captain was getting down!! Your playing has become so good over the yrs of watching you guys. Rock on!!
Stevie Ray Vaughan used the middle pickup a lot btw.
Jimmie Vaughan too. The JV signature Strat has no tone control on the middle pickup as per his specs. He likes it spanky.
As does Eric Clapton and Walter Trout. Must be good for the blues
Jerry Garcia too
Me too
Just picked up a 60s vintera in metallic blue (non modified). Great guitar, the pickups are the best I’ve heard in a stock strat. This series is great.
I would have one myself if it wasn't for the Pau Ferro, just doesn't look good
I agree staggering tone from a sub £1k guitar. Love it....
How well would the 60s or 70s take gain? I have a squier vm Mustang that has a really thin sounding bridge pickup. I’m currently looking to replace it with something else. The style of music I play is Punk Rock.
@@vincentbull you think so? I personally like the way it looks but I respect your point of view
@@ethank4820 actually had one for about a year in the end, but it's gone now
Pete low key trying to get Every Breath You Take stuck in everyone's heads.. :D
Thank you i heard the first arpeggio and just couldn't name it and it was driving me mad
I think Clapton and Buddy Holly used the middle pickup a good amount.
Robin Trower !! Position 3-4-5 only! ;-)
Gilmour did as well. Not too much, though.
Albert Hammond jr too
Sebastian Miller
so did stevie ray
Hendrix did a lot of middle pick up stuff as well.

I am consistently impressed with mr.andertons playing these days gahhdamn
Damn!!! So I’m doing dishes not looking at who’s ripping on the 70s fender. I grab my phone thinking it was Pete, shizzles,,, it’s the captain!!! Your playing a whole bunch better mate!WHATS UP PETE AND THE CAPTAIN!!! U guys are great together!! 🤟👋🖐🏾🤘
Holy crap! The captain blasting off at the end
Is this a euphemism?
Andertons Music Co LMAO
I'm American and I've watched so many of your videos that while I was watching this one I realized that I don't hear your accents anymore.
Also killer playing in the intro Lee, definitely holding your own with Pete
AS 970 we don’t have accents, you do 😉
@@Anonymouslyme1 this is true
Hooray it's Strat day!!! such sublime playing from both of you!
l really love the video editing pranks. Not enough credit given to post-production. Loved the selector switch gag with crickets.
i'm in love with 50s sonic blue that one!
Daphne
@@jakeryanshepard you better research it mate before you make a statement
@@rulexisonline I just bought one today. It's called Daphne blue. Thanks 😎
@@jakeryanshepard lol, you totally got tricked by the sellers, it's clearly said in the website Sonic Blue.
@@rulexisonline I would really suggest you look like less of a troll and get on their website. There is Sonic and daphne. Daphne modified in the video. That's what I bought from my FRIENDS at music works in stg. They are great !
love watching the captain improving so much and so fast i might add. Fair play! Sounds so good.
Bought my Vintera largely based on this review and the other video these two kind gentlemen did! Love mine to bits (50s sonic blue)- love all the new MIMs to be honest- When travel is safe again I will be visiting Big Ben and definitely come by Andertons!
Wow loving the Seafoam Green with Maple board , it looks stunning...got redirected to this video after watching the Jaguar and Mustang Demo, that Seafoam Green guitar stands out even more watching it this 2nd time round
Albert Hammond Jr of The Strokes uses the middle pickup for almost everything. His signature Fender Stratocaster is actually wired differently so that when the pickup selector is on the bridge position it activates the middle pickup so when he strums it won't accidentally change back to the bridge or any other pickup. Neat guitar though, I'm going to pickup the Fender Mocha Vintera 70's Stratocaster.
I haven't even tried them yet but it seems like fender knocked it out of the park with this vintera series. That 70s strat looks lovely. They are a bit pricy though, I see a lot of people just spending a bit more and going for a USA model. Either way, they look like great guitars!
And now the player plus is pretty tempting
Makes you wonder if you go from the vintera up to the lowest price amarican are you actually getting a worse spec guitar for more money?? Or similar for more money??
Awesome VINTERA SERIES Review with amazing tones!!!!
Congrats from Brasil !!!!!
More VINTERA-sessions!!!!!
💚✌🏻💛
Great playing from both of you . Good to see Lee going for it very good player
Albert Hammond Jr. from the strokes uses just the middle pick up. He has the switch reversed so the typical bridge position is the middle pickup
This is a pretty big development in the Fender line. I'm seeing a lot of surprising stuff.
That was the best from Lee by FAR. You NAILED it Captain!!!!!😄😄😄😄 Pure fire on my screen.
Yngwie Malmsteen is a proponent of the 70’s headstock, citing this as adding tone and resonance. My local guitar shop guy agrees!
No disrespect to Rob, he's definitely no slack, but Danish Pete just has it. I want that surf green strat!
I played one of the 50s vintera strats at a local guitar store and it played awesome. Very cool sound.
I hope Lee took that last guitar home with him. That outro was magic
70's is the one for me, best sounding bridge pick-up
so great to see you guys having fun at work :D
I prefer the captain in the videos along with a guest. More relaxed and more informative. The Vinteras are superb and I’ve ordered a 50s Tele in Fiesta red.
If you’re considering buying one of these, I’d highly recommend it! I played one of the 50’s models yesterday at GC, and can’t stop thinking about it. It played great and sounded even better. $1,000 is a lot for a MIM guitar, but in my opinion it’s absolutely worth it. Fender killed it with these!
Captain going the hell OFF at that end of this video! Well done, sir. :)
Man he was on fire!
Hes a legend
Bloody hell, Lee! Your playing in the outro was fantastic! Those lessons are really paying off
Not only did this video play a big role in my decision to get the 50s modified (just arrived), I also got great ideas from Pete's riffs. Awesome playing.
How do you like the 50’s modified? I’m considering either player series or a modified 50’s
@@jessesmith2906 I absolutely love it. I play it more than all my other guitars combined, I don't feel the need for another "better" strat, this is exactly how I want it.
It has a lot of attitude and a distinct tone. It is exactly what I was looking for but it may not be what others are looking for. I like playing funky blues rock and it's perfect for that, you can get some great sounds out of it.
@@peleproductions like good frusciante tones
@@jessesmith2906 Yeah I think it could handle it well. I usually like to play it with the s1 switch engaged so that bridge and neck are both on. Pete gives a great demo of it starting at 15:17, you can really hear the character of the guitar.
@@jessesmith2906 I jokingly call it the Quackmaster Deluxe.
Hendrix was a major proponent of the middle pickup on strats. That was his main pickup aside from occasional neck pickup use. Also this series makes me want that ‘50s Tele in blue and the walnut colored strat from the ‘70s. Haven’t even seen the offsets yet but that might burn another hole in my pocket
You're in for a real treat... The offsets are wicked! While you wait for a video, you can check them out here: www.andertons.co.uk/fender-vintera-series-guitars
Man, those jazzy phrasings by Pete were mesmerizing
11:56 I rewatched that part about 5 times and had an escalating laugh-attack. Nicely played.
Brilliant outro solo. I want a 70s after hearing this.
Great video as always, guys. Thanks for putting this up. Great playing from both of you and kudos to Lee for that outro. Kickass, man! Shout-out to whoever edited the video, too. Had quite a few laughs, there...
Stevie, Jimi, Budy and clapton used the middle pup a lot. As for a signature middle pickup sound, the only thing that comes to mind is the " sweet home Alabama" riff.
As ways thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Lee is such an amazing blues player! Hands down the best at Andertons, just love his playing
Hes always had a good tone in his hand if you no what i mean. Just a good tone no matter what he plays
as much as i like the caps playing, its nothing on pete.
I like the 70's sounds the best, thanks for the show!
The Dane sounded so good, what a huge difference
Nice strats iv got 50s modified vintera sunburst
Thundercats, yes I remember ! Transformers and GI Joe’s and He-man. Oh boy. Cartoons and guitars , doesn’t get better than that
Captain you are really playing well...way to go dude!!
What a great outro! Loved it!!!
loved the "running away" while the looper fills in :D
It's about time Fender finally issued and "affordable" Strat in Sea Foam Green...the only others I've seen are either cheap Squiers or ultra-expensive Master Built Custom Shop Stratocasters. A rosewood fretboard option would be nice as well.
Honestly I just watch these videos to relax :-) great therapy!
I use the middle pickup quite a lot! Truly love it
Both ur guys playing is immense!!! A-List band level of playing!
Just a bit of the note on lee's comment about 60s pickups being hotter and warmer. From what I've read (so take that as it is) Early 60s pickups were the most overwound so fatter than the late 50s pickups (both were alnico 5) the late 60s and early 70s were wound alot less compared to early 60s and the early 50s pickups were alnico iii (strat) and ii or iii (Tele). I think fender have gone with about 57ish, about 62ish and early 70s for the basis of these models.
man, why you stop playing? i was just start crying... amazing sound
08:12 "Baby lock the doors and turn the light down low. Put some music on that's soft and slooooow" xD
Awesome session!!!!
Best Review of FENDER VINTERA STRATO!!!!😍
Congrats from Brasil to The team!!!!
✌🏻😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Alberto... you are the MVP!
pete and john mayer should jam it out
I bought one of these, beautiful looking and great tones. Love it for the price point, my local pmt store price matched as well 😀
Fender MIM will be selling a lot of these. The colors and attributes are enticing.
Agreed, they've been really popular so far!
I currently have three Strats: Two Custom-Shops - one of which is a 97 Cunetto - and a 2004 Mexican. Whilst the Cunetto is my absolute favourite Strat that I've ever owned - better even than a refinished 62 - the Mexican Strats are superb. The reason I love the Mexican's so much is that it's an easy and relatively cheap upgrade to bring it into American territory. If you're after a new Strat at a decent price I'd go for one of these... but if you're not freaked-out by cleaning off a bit of someone else's DNA, I'd definitely look around for a used Mexican. I picked mine up for the princely sum of £195... and even after upgrades to pickups, trem, locking tuners, nut and string-tree it still owes me less than £500.
I think the reason no one is famous for middle pickup is the Dane wasn't around. 60's Strat, middle with the Dane on sounds incredible! (I use the middle quite a bit because my switch is faulty and the neck keeps bogging out!)
Dammit Capt. Lee gettin his Ernie Isley on at the end Jam!!
Justin is working his magic. Nice playing Lee.
You convinced me of buying a 60’ 😃
I use the middle pickup all the time - besides the trem it's the main argument for owning a Strat for me.
Gilmour used the middle pickup quite a lot!
When? I've seen him use it for the rhythm in Coming Back to Life, not much else?
Lee that outro was killer !!
I believe this was some of the best playing I've heard from the Captain! It was awesome! Pete nails it every time!!!
$845 not a bad price. I would like one.
I think I've seen Eric Clapton use the middle pickup to pretty good effect. Also, Doug Martsch of Built To Spill. Other than that, you're right; it seems to receive less favor than the other four positions.
Love the 70s Strat, it has a certain vibe about it. Nice video
