Buying this guitar has made me a very happy person. I hear a lot of people on youtube talking about how MIMs are not worth the money. I would have paid twice the money for this guitar,
Alnico 6? I Know the early 50s strat pickups were A3 and later they went to A5 poles but have not heard of Fender using A6? Any info to support that? Tim Shaw I know was involved in the production of these Vintera pickups.
One person feels shafted by the gloss finish instead of nitro. I think it looks amazing, and sounds just as good as it plays. Wayyyy better than the outgoing classics series in my opinion.
James McGrath I don’t about that, but I played a Vintera 60’s in my local Guitar Center and I like my Fender Classic Series 60s a lot more. What I did not like was the feel and aesthetic of the Pao Ferro on the fretboard. I have not tried the 50’s Vintera but I wonder if the maple fretboard is as sticky as the Player Series Strats fretboard.
@@RJ_HTx Yeah that fair I don't like the 60's profile, although my hand is now in a splint (lol), I don't mind the Pau Ferro boards, I do prefer the 50's vintera necks though. If you've ever tried a glossy 50's USA reissue it feels about the same, but does not get "gritty and gunky" after a solid couple of hours worth of playing.
I think they missed a trick by not having a fiesta red variant honestly. Real shame. Saying that though, poly fiesta red looks pretty bad compared to nitro, but the seafoam actually looks really nice.
@@RJ_HTx Pao Ferro is not sticky, but even a maple fretboard can be sticky if Fender uses that special Lacquere they put on some of there guitars. it's basically a gloss, but that's what makes them sticky. it's only sticky if your hands sweat alot, that's why they make satin and gloss necks. Pao Ferro is just a related species of Rosewood. Maple, Rosewood, and Pao Ferro and the newest which is Roasted Pine is just what they use on the fretboard. the Lacquere is something they apply to the neck and body, but they don't put it on all there guitars though. almost all of the American Pro 2 range have the lacquere Fender puts on them, but if your not a fan of Gloss necks, there is the American Performer. also the Vintera has a Satin Neck, so if you prefer that, you can get either Maple or Pao Ferro and it won't make a difference. the Squier Classic Vibe range uses a maple fretboard, but the neck has that special lacquere. so depending on the person, for someone that accumulates sweat more than others, that might not be ideal for them. love it or hate it, but it's a company thing. i personally like a Satin neck myself, but i don't sweat much as other people. companies want there products to look nice to the public. i have the first gen American Professional Strat that has a Pao Ferro fingerboard, but the neck was glossy. it didn't bother me at first, but after awhile you can take a buffer and go along the bottom on the neck and sand it out. my Classic Vibe Telecaster butterscotch blonde, i did the same with that.
@@HomicidalPandaHD i think red didn't come until the 60's, i could be wrong, but i noticed that even on the American Original, the colors aren't exactly correct expect the 2 tone color. that's actually pretty accurate, but early 50's Strats 54 and 56, they were mostly white or Satin color. surf green i don't believe existed in the 50's. the 60's is really where you start seeing 3 color burst, Candy Apple Red, Black etc.
I think vintera are pretty good guitar..but..who makes the choice of the colour? Looks like an hospital walls...why don't they produce the classic magic colours red..black...real shining blue (not ugly tide pool that looks like hospital walls too)?

It's worth what people are prepared to pay for it and by all accounts that's a hell of a lot of people. Personally I think they hit the 50's Strat out of the park in this range. Don't much care for the 60's in this range but think the 50's Strat has a great tone.
I really don't understand this POV. It's literally half the price of the US version and it is definitely not half as good. These Vintera guitars are super value for what you get.

4:32〜4:35 sounds great to me! This tone made me decide to buy it.
that sound is way tooo thin bro. It will get lost in the mix or band quite easily.
Beautiful guitar I have a 50’s and 60’s coming today!!
Lucky you
Just bought one. Sounds just like this.
Liked that opening tune. Reminded me of an 70's sitcom jingle. I could picture Fish walking in the house and hanging up his hat.
N'Stuff still setting the standard for demos, but that right angle lead plugged into the strat is doing my head in 😳
Great video & demo! Thank you!!! Nice work!!!
Lovely playing.
Lovely sounds

dream guitar for me right here, but the sonic blue color. if only i had the money 💀
nice review ... I always want (and rarely get) guitar weight and neck dimensions (@ nut, @ 1st fret, @12th fret)
Nice Jim! Thanks
Jeff Beeeeezos!
Are these still 5-6 piece bodies?
Is the neck on this chunky? Typical of 50s necks?
Great demo brother. 🎶🎸👍🎵
What genre is this ?
You play mean blues on that guitar.
Didn't know One Punch Man could play guitar.
ONE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTE

Looks more like a 1956 Chevy Belair.
@@therealpalo001 nice car 🚗
maybe because some people are not as old and as boring as you are, it's meant to attract young people not 40 year olds with no personality.

Not worth that kind of money. Ridiculous prices for a guitar that requires so little man hours to build
It's worth what people are prepared to pay for it and by all accounts that's a hell of a lot of people. Personally I think they hit the 50's Strat out of the park in this range. Don't much care for the 60's in this range but think the 50's Strat has a great tone.

I have a vintera. It’s awesome!
