I've played for 40 years and never thought I'd be so inspired much more by anyone, and then came you ladies! Love the way you and your band plays. Love your technique, tones and gear. I am writing a surf tune now thanks to your enthusiasm for the music.
I'm not a musician, but I never fail to be impressed at how rich & full your sound is. Even sitting there on the couch, playing solo, there's so much depth & resonance to your playing. Love it!

That color speaks compellingly, I would have listened. 😸 My amplifiers insisted, then demanded, that I buy them a Bass VI. I am not man enough to play Bass, so I will just tune it down to C or D, but who am I to argue? A black Squier is on its way. 🎸
I had a Fender '65 Jaguar back in the '60s......sold it to buy books for College (kicking my ass for that)........dropped out of music for many years and just picked it back up about five (5) years ago with a great instructor......I 'hooked' him on to surf music and now he asks me to send him songs so we can work on next lesson ;-)) You guys are great and hope that you keep up with the 'surf music'..............no singing involved ! ! !
Wow, a rotary telephone! My son started learning surf guitar a long time ago at private music lessons because that's what he heard me listening to. Today he's a hoarder of guitars and equipment. He has one room at his house dedicated to guitar stuff. He must have over 30 guitars now. There's nothing like surf music.
Considering Leo Fender's last place of employment was with G&L in which he fixed a ton of things like engineering the bridge completely different. I would say the Fender Strat is subpar in the eyes of the guy who invented it. There was enough wrong with the original design to make Leo want to address some of the quirks and kinks. That was his reasoning, not mine. So if you want the best playing guitar and one that Leo was actually proud of then its G&L not Fender. If it says "Stratocaster" on it then it is broken according to the standard of Leo Fender.
Nicole that is a good looking Strat. Love all the music that the band does. Look forward to new videos from y’all. Greetings from Lubbock, Tx. Home town of Buddy Holly. Maybe someday y’all will make it down this way to play. 🤠🎸🤘
One of the first things I noticed when I discovered you guys on UA-cam, besides all of your talents and good looks, was that guitar. I don’t think I have ever seen that color. The maple neck makes it pop. Keep rocking ladies and stay healthy👍👍👍👍
What I love most is the interaction between Shermy and Nicole, switching from chords to lead, much like Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood while Sarah and Annie lay down the groove!!!
Fantastic gear Nicole! Fenders are the ultimate surf guitars. You and the Surfrajettes are are outstanding! I'd love to hear you cover Ennio Morricone's theme from For a Few Dollars More. In fact any of Morricone's classic Spaghetti Western tunes would be groovy!
It was that Strat that made me click on the thumbnail of one of your videos! ( but you guys playing made me subscribe) Burgundy Mist a classic and beautiful Fender custom color from the 60's. Ill bet your neck is a 'modern C' just like the one on mine. If yours was Olympic White they would be twins. Mine came with Fat 50's pickups that I love. Your Awesome . Rave on !
Nicole, i love the videos with you and Shermy (and the band videos as well). Thank you for sharing them they always bring a smile. Id like to hear you play some of your favorite Jimmy Page riffs as well!
That Strat was calling out to you.....it desparately wanted to be in the hands of someone worthy of it. These things have a soul ! When its creator applied that fabulous colour although he or she didnt know you .....it was you pictured in their mind. You guys are the very best......much luv....old guy here👍😻🌞
That guitar is so nice; the color is really unique and cool and it sounds excellent of course. It'd be cool to hear the story about how excactly the Surfrajettes formed or just a little more about your history as a band. "Behind the Music: The Surfrajettes"
Hello Nicole Great Guitar and I'm a Massive Fan of your Band !!...Love the Vibes I used to listen to the Ventures as a child and you guys sure play wicked songs !!!...All the Best and stay safe !☆☆☆☆☆🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thanks for taking me back to the early 60's surf band era. I was on the front lines back then playing bass for several So Cal surf bands. I've caught several of your covers but haven't seen any Dick Dale stuff (Misirlou, Hava Nagilla, Let's Go Trippin, Surf Beat) or some of the stuff that became known as surf music even though that wasn't it's initial inspiration. Boss by the Rumblers comes to mind and not to overlook the early stuff by the Fireballs (Bulldog, Torquay, Footpatter) plus Caterpillar Crawl, original by the Strangers...covered by the LIvely Ones. All of these were staples with every band I played with and they all allow for personal interpretation. I'd love to hear you guys cover some of these.
Great story and pretty guitar to go along which inspires me as a guitarist and to top it off we get to hear great Surf guitar which I always love from you guys!
It is so nice to see beautiful young Women with no tattoo's body piercings or multi colored hair. Beside that you all have integrity and are so good at what you do. Myself a Musician for many years Love what you do. Your tone is to die for and your chord changes are smooth as butter cream. I Love you young ladies you have a special place in my heart and want you to know how much joy you bring to so many people. Much Love and respect. God bless ❤
Hi Nicole to have always enjoyed surf music and your band inspired me to get a Fender Original 60's Jazzmaster. And have been working in a list of classic songs. I use the Surf Rider reverb pedal. I understand that the Dano Electric's are good surf guitars and can reasonably priced. Look forward to your touring. Had planned to see you all play in San Jose, CA but then Covid struck. Love the band and can't wait to see you all playing live!
Nicole I love your guitar. I bought an American Standard new in 2008 and it's perfect. I also inherited my brother's mim strat. It was a great feeling guitar but sounded buzzy with the ceramic pickups. I found a loaded pick guard with all new, vintage pieces. The pickups are Flying Mojo Purple haze. There was a family that had a contract with Fender in the mid 60's making pickups. When CBS bought Fender they lost the contract. All the parts to make the pickups got stored and forgotten until a few years ago. The bobbins, wire all of it. So these pickups are 1960's Fender. Just assembled recently.
My daughter is an awesome guitar player and her name is Nicole as well ! I am happy that I have instilled in her a deep love for 60's Surf music as well.Must be the name......
In addition to the luxurious neck... a Strat is probably the comfortable guitar on the Planet to play, with the addition of the Fore-arm Contour and the Tummy-Cut. Stokin’ Axe Nicole!
Love the band…so true to the original spirit of surf; love your playing; love that beautiful Strat (and hope you kept the Les). .…and love your Mary Weiss hair style.
I'm predominantly a metal guitar player with some blues and yes! A bit of surf. Fender Strats are great for surf. The twang is what your after. Beautiful guitar.
OMG that guitar just jumps to life in your hands!!! Incredible sound, and I love how you said it's just so easy/ friendly to play! Oh and purple is my favorite color too 💜
Parents got me a Harmony Rocket double cut away, matching 515 amp in my senior year of high school. Graduated '71 & it still works fine. Got a Boss '63 Fender reverb pedal several years back. Like to see you all live somewhere this year.
I have been searching for all the videos you and others have posted featuring your band and I really appreciate the great surf music you and the rest of the Surfrajettes produce. I have a Fender Deluxe + guitar with a roller nut and attempt to play all sorts of songs in a surf style; I enjoy your efforts with Britney Spears' and Beatles' songs. I try to pick music with minor keys for the best surf sound. Anyway, please keep on doing these videos and I'll buy that dvd about The Ventures that you're a part of, plus dvds of your group, too!
Great video! Especially liked hearing about the Canyon reverb, I hadn't noticed how nasally the reverb pedal I use is, just knew there was something off about it. Thanks for sharing!
I had a dream last night and I can see The Surfrajettes on muy dreams playing "Till the end of the day" (The Kinks), "The last time" (Rolling Stones), Down on the corner" (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Love her madly" (The Doors) and "Hoy legs" (Rod Stewart) Maybe the dreams comes true..... Thanks for your talent, Nicole and Shermy 🤗🤗
Beautiful guitar. Great drippy surf tone. I put those string-trees on my old vintage fender strat and it improved the tuning stability . . . tremendously. oNe LovE from NYC
A clean Strat with a nice reverb is one of my favorite sounds in the world. It’s so pure.
Nicole is a doll! I met her last week opening up for The Rev. They were amazingly fun!!
I've played for 40 years and never thought I'd be so inspired much more by anyone, and then came you ladies! Love the way you and your band plays. Love your technique, tones and gear. I am writing a surf tune now thanks to your enthusiasm for the music.
"Way more than I was planning on spending, but I had to have it." Probably what my wife will have put on my tombstone.
That also applied to my wife!
I am guessing she sold the Les Paul in order to purchase the Fender.
You can't put a price on quality.
If my wife only really knew how many electric guitars i have! I enjoy this Band's love for guitar/music.
By once cry once...
Nicole, I can't stop watching you play that beautiful guitar. You are an inspiration
I'm not a musician, but I never fail to be impressed at how rich & full your sound is. Even sitting there on the couch, playing solo, there's so much depth & resonance to your playing. Love it!
That guitar sound never gets boring. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up every single time. 😎😎😎✌🎸🎸🎸
What a beautiful smile from a beautiful lady at the beginning.Awesome video Nicole thanks for sharing
My favorite musical style. And Nicole is cuteness manifested on earth.
Let your bassist and drummer do the same thing. We'd like to hear from them as well.
--------------------------- yes Yes YES Yes yes ------------------------------
I agree. Love this band.

That guitar chose you. It knew what it was doing.

It saw those boots and had to have them!
Kind of a Harry Potter wand moment.

A complete classic.

Beautiful girl+ Beautiful guitar = Beautiful music with a sweet beat.

can never go wrong with a good Strat !

@@evilcowboy what's a G and L?
Amazing - Mr. Fender actually told you he was not proud of the Strat, but is proud of the G&L? 🙄 both are great guitars
Great tune Nicole, you and the rest of the ladies keep up the good work! love you all!
Nicole that is a good looking Strat. Love all the music that the band does. Look forward to new videos from y’all. Greetings from Lubbock, Tx. Home town of Buddy Holly. Maybe someday y’all will make it down this way to play. 🤠🎸🤘
Nicole is a great guitar player and shes cute too 😇😍😎
Give us a full song each time, I like hearing you guy’s play.
One of the first things I noticed when I discovered you guys on UA-cam, besides all of your talents and good looks, was that guitar. I don’t think I have ever seen that color. The maple neck makes it pop. Keep rocking ladies and stay healthy👍👍👍👍
Really like that burgundy mist colour
That music makes my heart smile thank you for keeping it alive
and Sara next about her awesome bass. plz.
I would watch videos of y’all’s jam sessions every day if u posted them. I love the style you guys have and play
She's absolutely a beautiful and gorgeous adorable angel ever 😍😘
What I love most is the interaction between Shermy and Nicole, switching from chords to lead, much like Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood while Sarah and Annie lay down the groove!!!
What a Sweetheart! And a heck of a Guitar player.
Thanks for the rig rundown Nicole, keeping it simple is wise.
Yes, there is something about the Fender Stratocaster.......it’s magic. Thanks Leo Fender. 🙏🙏
Enjoyed hearing about your guitar and of course, hearing you play. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful ladies, fantastic music. Here’s hoping that the She Rocks organization takes note of the Surfragettes.
Fantastic gear Nicole! Fenders are the ultimate surf guitars. You and the Surfrajettes are are outstanding! I'd love to hear you cover Ennio Morricone's theme from For a Few Dollars More. In fact any of Morricone's classic Spaghetti Western tunes would be groovy!

Burgundy Mist a classic and beautiful Fender custom color from the 60's.
Ill bet your neck is a 'modern C' just like the one on mine.

Mine came with Fat 50's pickups that I love.
Your Awesome . Rave on !
Never has a great guitar sounded so good. Skills
Such great tone from this simple setup. Love it! ❤️
Fantastic I love hearing you play, More more more🎧🎸🎸💂♂️👨🍳
Nicole, U R SO BEAUTIFUL😍💖💋
I can totally see why that color would pull you from your “budget plan”....that burgundy mist is amazing!
That guitar sounded really good . Happy new Year Nicole .
Such a nice sound 🥰
You young ladies are exellent musicions ,Keep up the good work.I listioned to Surf music growing up in the 60s and you are on par with any of them.

Love these videos. Waiting to hear about the bass and drums. fantastic.
I absolutely adore the way you speak. Hope to see a show soon.
Well....This was an awesome Saturday afternoon surprise!!!! My only request is more videos from u ladies!!!
Absolutely incredible tone.
Sounds on par with The Shadows, and without a $4K AC30 and $3K Meazzi!
Nicole, i love the videos with you and Shermy (and the band videos as well). Thank you for sharing them they always bring a smile. Id like to hear you play some of your favorite Jimmy Page riffs as well!
That Strat was calling out to you.....it desparately wanted to be in the hands of someone worthy of it. These things have a soul !
When its creator applied that fabulous colour although he or she didnt know you .....it was you pictured in their mind.
You guys are the very best......much luv....old guy here👍😻🌞
It won't be long and we'll be seeing you on Premier Guitar's Rig Run Down ! Great video, thank you.
Thanks for the tip on the canyon pedal… I hope there are some new tunes/album in 2021
Perfect choice for a strat. I have the same model, just different color. The soft V neck is very easy to play and the sound is awesome!
You're awesome Nicole!!
That guitar is so nice; the color is really unique and cool and it sounds excellent of course. It'd be cool to hear the story about how excactly the Surfrajettes formed or just a little more about your history as a band. "Behind the Music: The Surfrajettes"

Hello from France Nicole. Love the band and love seeing women that rock the place. Keep on surfing.
Gorgeous and nice guitar too. Keep up the great sounds. Bravo
I seriously dont remember being this happy to have headphones. oh my gawd the clarity on those sounds is amazing.Such nostalgia.
It is so nice to see beautiful young Women with no tattoo's body piercings or multi colored hair. Beside that you all have integrity and are so good at what you do.

It came with a pair of white boots??? How cool!!!
Funny, I was just wondering about your Fender from watching you guys videos. And lo and behold, you have a video on it. love it.
Thought you misspelled Saturday at first. I'm a little slow. Happy Straturday to you, too!
Thanks for sharing. Great guitar!
Classic look!!!...Congratulations!
Nicole you are fantastic keep rocking it 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Do you know what year this Strat is from? Thanks! 🌊🌊🌊
Thank you Nicole!🎶🎸👍
Springwater NY Loves the Surfrajettes. We would love to have you play for our private party in September. You girlz ROCK.

Shermy uses the Surfrider
I have a Daphne blue ‘62 Strat replica that I play surf tunes on. Well, I fake my way through them anyway! 🤣
Wow, Gorgeous. What a nice sound and shape. I really like the guitar too.....Hi Nicole!
Surfs up! Thanks for the videos.
Congrats with the new guitars too!

That Burgundy Mist is pretty, and elegant, in my honest opinion. Very snappy sounding pickups, too.
Excellent! Love the guitar and the tip about the new pedal sound!
I'm so glad you did this, that guitar is truly special, my ear always zeroes in on it.
My daughter is an awesome guitar player and her name is Nicole as well ! I am happy that I have instilled in her a deep love for 60's Surf music as well.Must be the name......
thanks dear, lovely instrument and sound.. your technique is cool..
You need a Surf Green Strat to go with the theme of the band. The 57 American Vintage Reissue is a great period specific Strat for the time.
In addition to the luxurious neck... a Strat is probably the comfortable guitar on the Planet to play, with the addition of the Fore-arm Contour and the Tummy-Cut. Stokin’ Axe Nicole!
Love the lamp!
wow you guys are great love tunes that you play

Nice demo. Love your playing. Especially the bit of vibrato you employ when picking those arpeggios at the end. Nicely done. Like that warbly sound.
You guys seem to have a good record collection in the background of your 'Toxic' video, can we maybe get a review of some of your favourite ones?

It looks light & smooth,, unlike my 1974 which weighs a lot. Thanks for taking up surf! I actually met Dick Dale here in Dallas.
I could listen to you do that for hours…days. Come to SoCal.
Beautiful guitar. Great drippy surf tone. I put those string-trees on my old vintage fender strat and it improved the tuning stability . . . tremendously. oNe LovE from NYC
Excellent! Please do another FB live!
Great sound. Great playing.
Cover "Conditions" ("Just dropped in") like Kenny Rogers and the new edition did... would be a nice Surf Song
The song is called "Just Dropped In" and the group, at that time, was called ""The First Edition" (just for clarification).
