What a great review! 👍🏻 very well done. I fully agree 😊 and I’ve been playing for 38 years and already own 12 electrics , 2 acoustics and a Dean bass and a ridiculous amount of different amps and pedals. She’s incredible on a guitar 🎸 I’m an instant fan and I had no idea at all who she was … this white boy thinks she’s damn fine looking 👀 girl I love her smile and fun warm personality as well, she’s built just right ! 😮 ❤ I also love the guitar! 🎸but I’ll have mine in black with a white pick guard or white with a black pick guard 😊
She plays great 🎸and is amazing as a guitarist 🥰 that’s a fine looking 👀 lady ! 😊 definitely want to see her do a lot more longer in depth guitar reviews in the near future if at all possible! Was informative and fun, her overall warmth and playful personality had me smiling the entire time. 😊 new American 🇺🇸 Fender Telecaster Ultra next please 🙏 🤔!
I purchased my Fender Ultra Stratocaster - American made - Last summer , and have to SAY -it is INDEED a GREAT GUITAR - mine is Cobra Blue - and - WOW ! 🙂 It plays so easy , super fast action - and the tones it produces are second to none - I will surely keep it all my life 🎸🎸👍👍✌️
I love the middle pickup on strats. It's something about how the highs shine. She's right. It sorts of cuts through better compared to the 4 other positions. And it is very warm.
I've actually always hated it/not cared at all about using it as I just didn't find it interesting sounding. However, I recently decided just to throw it on and give 'er a bit with it, and I was like... how the hell have I never appreciated this pickup?!?!? It's got this nice midsy honk that I just never uncovered somehow. So, yeah. Recent convert!
The articulation at around 0:32 had me back up a few times and watch/listen again. Loose feel that could have gotten out of hand but incredibly well fretted and strummed. Man.
Great demo,I’m impressed with your skills because most come on with a lot of speed chops,you took the time to go into detail with every example,though I have a true custom strat,I would still give this one a shot based on your demo
Love the one piece black pickguard and the single coil on the humbucker sounds really good. it can hold it's own. Beautiful job O'Neal, chordings are sweet.
I think you could give Ari any guitar and she will make beautiful tones and sounds with it. Her touch and feel with her fingers is magic from single notes into flawless cords. Truly inspiring guitarist.
Great demonstration of the versatility of the features it has, Ari was very good at showing us all the differences. Lady Rocks. Her Kemper is an impressive effects Board too. Nice Strat.
Ari, you are so knowledgeable about the interworkings of a guitar in general. You play so many genres of music it it sounds as beautiful as you are. I love when a young person takes such an interest in a skill that they can speak so passionately and lovingly about it. You are so articulate in your explanation of how this guitar works that I found myself nodding "yes" as if I could play, and I can't lol I wish the best of you in your career and I think you should do some interviewing with musicians on your channel about instruments, playing techniques, and artists they've played with. You have an awesome personality! Thank you for this!!
Lovely playing! It’s not hard to get me to love a Strat (I have 5), but I am happy to learn about a guitarist I previously didn’t know! Great tips about using the humbucker and the bridge and middle-bridge combo with distortion
Yessss. 🤍 Would love to see her showcase her own signature strat. Love that artist sometimes get their own signature but the working musicians deserve their own. 👏🏾
Yes, l would like a guitar with a maple neck, the guitar looks so cool with a maple neck-the guitar playing is excellent, sounds good, l like the different sounds the guitar can cover because l like different types of of music, gospel, jazz, r&b, rock etc
A+ for the presenter and presentation… I haven’t bought a Fender since my first natural Strat with black PG in 77’ which I sold a few years later…I may have to reconsider… I mainly a humbucker guy and play PRS and Ibanez. We shall see… We shall see .
Right at 5:25 she puts me in groove that reminds me of this song I found on SoundCloud named "CatchMe" by Autumn Tuesdae. Not the same but I was so convinced at first. 😅 Beautiful work.
She said someone is catching the Holy Ghost up in here!!! I love this!!! I'm not a guitar player, but that makes me want to buy one...lol...do your thing Sis!!!

I need to know what profiles you’re using…cause my Kemper ain’t sounding like that!🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻🎸
I KNOW you guys suck at making guitars compared to warmoth is wtf KNOW.
its like a promod charvel with ultra noiseless pups.. not too impressed.. all them marketing saying its "innovation".. cmon fender..
It was so much fun shooting this with y'all! This is truly a beautiful guitar. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the awesome demo! A great guitar is nothing without a great player at the wheel!
Always a blast with you, Ari! You rock!
@@tomaslopez2940 wow thank you!
Something smooth and soulful about a Strat and you complete that very well 🎯
Sounded great Ari, great breakdown of the sounds.
Everything on this video is stunning, the guitar, the lady, the sound and style of it. Really amazing!
😉 Definitely got my attention!!! Like a breath of fresh air. 😎
Whatever you guys paid her for this ad was worth every penny this was a great showcase I'm a fan of the guitar and the artist now.
Right! Made me wanna buy the guitar and I don't even know how to play. I feel like this guitar could do my taxes too.
What a great review! 👍🏻 very well done. I fully agree 😊 and I’ve been playing for 38 years and already own 12 electrics , 2 acoustics and a Dean bass and a ridiculous amount of different amps and pedals.

Great showcase indeed
Agreed…I’m a fan
Those R&B/Neo-Soul chords always stand out lol. Everything about this video is beautiful. The guitar, the guitarist and the guitar playing 😍
Gorgeous in everyway possible
The guitar or Ari?
@@skyraiderjet I think he means both.
@@skyraiderjetdefinitely both lol

The tone on that guitar is beautiful! Great playing Ari!
Whoa! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I love that she plays several different styles! And she's good at all of them!
The wine red finish is great and so are those boots!
@@bleedingflyhave some class dopey
😳 This girl has it going on! Cheers from SoCal. 🤓🥳🤘
I remember her when she started off playing a local gogo bands in DC. Now look at her! It’s absolutely wonderful.
For real? Which Band?
@ Beladonna
@Will008 makes sense 👍🏿
I knew she was from the city when she started talking😂😂😂
@@BACCHANDHT I didn't catch it right away. She wasn't typical.
I’m not a guitarist, but she’s a great player, with a great feel, love that clean tone for the cutting demos! Cool vid!
That's the warmest sounding strat I've ever heard, the low noise floor helps...
The articulation at around 0:32 had me back up a few times and watch/listen again. Loose feel that could have gotten out of hand but incredibly well fretted and strummed. Man.
Right? I was thinking, "Dang! Her picking and strumming are fantastic!"
Lots of great riffs. I like her selection.
Her sliding double stops are killer. I could feel the Hendrix vibe big time. She's a phenomenal player.
Great demo,I’m impressed with your skills because most come on with a lot of speed chops,you took the time to go into detail with every example,though I have a true custom strat,I would still give this one a shot based on your demo
Love the one piece black pickguard and the single coil on the humbucker sounds really good. it can hold it's own. Beautiful job O'Neal, chordings are sweet.
It's also an anodised metal one which is really cool :)
I think you could give Ari any guitar and she will make beautiful tones and sounds with it. Her touch and feel with her fingers is magic from single notes into flawless cords. Truly inspiring guitarist.
Beautiful, the music and the musician!!
Great demonstration of the versatility of the features it has, Ari was very good at showing us all the differences. Lady Rocks. Her Kemper is an impressive effects Board too. Nice Strat.
Good mix of very tasteful playing - and also gain shredding, coupled with a friendly, professional presentation.

So much music in your playing.
I think that is the awesome ultra American fender stratocaster 2 and the best guitar solo I have ever heard 🎸🤟

Never been into Strats, but it looks lovely. I like her jazz playing with a bit of Jimi Hendrix thrown in.
Nice.
