I've owned about 12 strat plus guitars. I bought my first one in 1988, a pewter one. now I have 5 left. 3 Strat Plus, and 2 Strat Plus Deluxe.

[@qjudge959]

Why doesn't your Deluxe have a roller nut? My '93 does.

[@andypspacey]

i have a strat plus from 1996. its my no 1

[@FMT990]

I bought my Strat Plus from 1994 in 1995 and I still have it. It was my first "good" guitar and I would never sell it, also because of emotional reasons. Only the bridge pickup sounded too weak for my taste. I replaced it by a SH 4 Humbucker many years ago.

Fender strat plus is my dream guitar, never knew about the ultra 😮. It looks so good😊

[@gavitorres-olivares]

I own an 87 with maple fretboard. Thanks for the info!

[@wallemon06]

I have a candy red Deluxe Plus that I brought new in 1992. I’m getting back into playing after setting it down 30 years ago. Thank you for reminding me what i bought and why. 😂

[@David-m7l8c]

I Still have my 89'....

[@laska747]

I had a 1989 red Strat Plus and it was my main guitar for many years. I changed out the bridge pickup for a SD Lil 59. Eventually I sold it as I found the neck too slim and it was a heavy guitar. Great overall player though!

[@nate_c_more]

Well… I guess I need a strat too now 🙄😅

[@RobMcKinneyDobbler]

Have a late 80s Strat Plus, replaced the bridge Gold with a Red.. Have gigged it for 30+ years and still love it to bits!

[@squealingpigguitars2438]

Sounds great man! thanks for watching

[@danieljohansson1938]

I have an early 90’s strat plus that I’ve been thinking about doing that exact mod to. I take it you like the Red lace then?
Are the level much higher so you get a volume jump when using clean sounds?

[@jfinester]

I had a Strat Plus. Bought it new in 1987. Best Strat I’ve ever had, and I had an actual 1962 Strat in the early ‘70s. I got the first Strat Plus I ever saw-it was black, which is not my favorite color for guitars, but it was so good that I bought it anyway, and I got a white pearloid pickguard for it to dress it up a bit. I wound up trading it in on a Custom Shop Strat a few years later, and the Custom Shop one is really nice, but that Plus was killer. I wish I still had it!

Sounds great man! thanks for watching

[@puki5]

[@benkeightley1569]

🔥🔥🔥

[@RocketBoy1969]

I still have my ‘93 Strat Plus. Caribbean Mist with maple neck which I bought new in ‘93.

[@benkeightley1569]

Nice guitar man! 🔥 thanks for watching

[@kix5284]

I think I have that same exact one 4:40 e😅

[@chadfleming2199]

I had a Strat Plus (in Reverse Pearlburst). The Gold Lace pu's were dead quiet. It had locking Sperzels, a tremsetter and the 1st generation roller nut. I miss that guitar immensely. Traded it for a G&L ASAT Z3 thinline (also a great guitar)

[@benkeightley1569]

Lovely guitar man! Thanks for sharing

[@jfinester]

I had an early Strat Plus, an ‘87, that didn’t have a Tremsetter. I wound up putting one in, and then Fender started using them. But I beat ‘em to it!😁

[@DarkVelizar]

Love that collection! Great video man

[@benkeightley1569]

Thank you!

[@Borski135]

I have never even heard of these models. The P90 tone would be interesting. It funny how every company other then Gibson is allowed by the public to make advancements in technology. As soon as Gibson try’s to make any change its customer base goes crazy.

[@benkeightley1569]

You should definitely check one out. The tones from the blue lace sensors are very good for solo playing. 🤟

[@lonegroover]

I had a Strat Plus Deluxe with the red, silver, blue Lace Sensors. I do miss it sometimes.

[@benkeightley1569]

Nice one! What colour is as it? I love the lace sensors 🤟

[@michelcardona2335]

Great!!! And beautiful guitar
