Hi Jonathan, loved your smooth soulful intro, well made with nice appointments representing great value for money. The colour is different and sensational. Nice tones too. Cheers ✌️🎸💜
Another gorgeous Strat, worthy of your talent! I really like that shade of red. From what I can tell, it does have a bit of an orangey tint to it, like a “cayenne” sort of color. Whatever it is, I like it. Heck, I’ve loved ALL of the Japanese Strats I’ve seen so far!
I was really digging this one too Jon. She had a fullness of sound. Interesting how one of the vintage bridges still holds true today for playing a perfect vibrato. Perfect intonation. Primo playing Jon!🎸 It was the red that that got me too bro 😂
Jon, you could play a mop bucket, a broomstick with one string, and I'd be like, " I gotta go buy one!" That is a nice Stratocaster. I stray to different brands, but always come back to Fender.
Wonderful in-depth and straightforward review, as always. Much appreciated. Love the way you demoed this Strat, especially your slide and tremolo work. It's a beautiful and responsive guitar, for sure.
The Yellow Fender MiJ is one of the 5 guitars I have as my eventual MUST HAVES. Once I get stationed in the Air Force, I plan on picking up this one in Yellow and Adrian Smith’s signature Jackson! But the Yellow MiJ first!

Wow, so beautiful, I love your video and music, you are one of the best guitar's blogger) I really like this guitar, it's vintage sound...good luck to you)
I’m in love 🥰 wow. How gorgeous. Put a hot rails in the bridge and swap one of the tone knobs with the volume (can’t be doing with that Top knob) and she’s perfect 🙌
Very helpful to see your highly detailed review. I think the workmanship alone anchors the price and the pickups are surprising, quite good. A Japanese Strat is a lifetime guitar.. Thanks Jon, I ‘m gonna go try one out
That was a wonderful intro Jon. Full of lovely touches. It looked really nice to play. Looks lovely too but €1,200 for a basswood body seems a bit over priced. Sounds pretty decent though 😃👍👍👍🙏🙏
Hi Jon, how would you compare the quality of this one against the Aerodyne series? I wasn’t really interested until I saw one with my own eyes while on a trip in Wynwood, Miami this weekend. The craftsmanship was just superb, exquisite. Didnt have time to play it tho, so that’s why Im asking; but man it hasn’t left my mind since then. Excellent quality demo as always!
Hi Jonathan! Wonderful sound and tasteful playing! What is your recording gear, did you use a miked amp or an amp simulator plug-in? What is the reverb you used in this video, it sounds amazing!
Hi Jon, Love the tones you were getting with this guitar and your amps, effects etc. Can you explain how you got those tones? Was it using Helix Native? Or UAD Apollo Twin Duo? Thanks so much. I also love your beautiful sense of melody and timing!!!!
hey Jon, awesome vid! do you like these, or the aerodyne series more? i can’t decide between the maui blue international telecaster or the california blue aerodyne tele
@@charlesharper7292 no $1300 isn't bad for a decent guitar but for the retiree on a fixed income...well it would take a long time to even save $600 let alone $1300
@@judeworth938 I am retired and on a fixed income. I am fortunate to be out of debt though. I just decide what extravagance I can do without. Like cable, cigarettes and stuff.
Hey! Im very interested in purchasing this exact model, just wondering if the color if more on the orange side or on the pink side, looks a bit different between the camera angles. Can you confirm?
I was looking at these earlier today and the only thing that bothers me is the U-shaped neck. I have no idea if it's a fat neck ? I am used to slim neck C-shaped Stratocaster necks. I have no way chance of trying one without buying it first.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud i wonder why they did that. I guess im a bit concerned about neck stability in the far future. But they must know what they’re doing
The Guitar looks great, and maybe plays amazing. now the intonation of the Guitar does not feel so great and the is a sizzle in the hard edges that at least for me is not so cool..I heard Jon playing better-sounding guitars and also "Guitar Perfection" sounds like a huge statement after reviewing so many guitars... but maybe the playing experience is great.
The guitar is not mine and that s why I did not set it up the way I would have. Perfection in a big word I must say. BUt well...lets say it's pretty close....Love the pickups, the neck and the way it looks...
@@JonIsJustTooLoud cool so yes, I understand the kind of weird intonation I felt, plus you play so melodic and to my ears that make a huge impact in how you sound
There was a time when I loved Fender guitars (about 35 years ago) but these days you can get much much more guitar for less money than a Fender, some of the Fender Japan designs are suoer sexy but IMO this is not one of them.
Subtitles available in English, Chinese, German, Spanish, Italian, Indonesian, Thai and Japanese!
Jon, who plays way too loud by the way, could make any guitar sound good. I just love how you play and present. Warms my heart. Great job my friend.
Thank you!
Thanks for reminding me years passed when singers could actually sing and guitar players and actually play without hiding behind effects.
✌😀✌💚
ok grandpa take ur meds
@@revalone3944 Ok Jr. Stop picking your nose and take out the trash.

These Japanese made guitar's are beautiful and look well made, Great slide guitar playing Jon

I saw it on sale on Sweetwater after like 6 months of wondering, found your video, and put in my order. Thank you for bringing this guitar to life!
Hope you enjoy it!
How much was it on sale? Just curious.
@@djb6496 It was $800 so by no means cheap but I was considering it at $1200 and it's a fantastic guitar 🔥

😊 thank you
that was a great intro!
Glad you liked it!✌♥
There it's Jon's magical touch again ... He can even make $20 guitar sounds good for us 🫡👍
Lol
I just ordered the yellow 💛 dang nice looking stratocasters.
awesome!
Thanks for this video! It helped me decide to buy one today in the Sahara taupe color!
Glad I could help!
I looked down and saw unconsciously I had a lighter lit in my hand. You know how to make that guitar sing.
lol.. I hope you don’t burn yourself!!
Sweet tone
yes!
Excelent!!
Thank you
Wow that Japanese has some Soul very impressive😮
I’m not Japanese.. I’m Singaporean Chinese
That was a wonderful intro Jon. Full of lovely touches. It looked really nice to play. Looks lovely too but €1,200 for a basswood body seems a bit over priced. Sounds pretty decent though 😃👍👍👍🙏🙏
It’s actually a very good guitar ✌️❤️
Looks very "Hank Marvin-ish". Never heard of "Morroco Red" but I have heard of "Candy Apple Red"... which is what this looks like to me.
✌💚
Great video again! Hope we can play together soon! Btw my sister lives in Singapore! Been there couple times! Love the country and the vibe.
Sounds great!✌💚
morocco Red!? 😂😂, im from tangier city, morocco.. i must buy it.. 😅😅thanks jonathan for your art guitar

hey Jon, awesome vid! do you like these, or the aerodyne series more? i can’t decide between the maui blue international telecaster or the california blue aerodyne tele
I like this.. It’s got a great tone
Beautiful color but at almost 8lbs and $1300 USD. well, for me no can do. As always love your playing and reviews...
Fair enough!
1300 bucks for a good guitar isn't bad. When I find a guitar I really want, I just save a few bucks from each paycheck till I can make the purchase.

More reddish orange...

Got that emoji guitar
