I love watching you guys. I still love guitar because of you both. And miss everyday that I can play. The world has got so tough I had to sell me equipment in order to help me and the kids get through. But you keep me in love with guitar and I can’t wait until the day I can play again. Please keep doing the great work.
You live in the USA or at least England right? If you´d live in Germany I´d lend you a Guitar and an Amp (nothing fancy, but a very nice to play Squier Classic Vibe and a little Marshall transistor amp) as long as you need it to get back on your feet. Whenever you´d be ready (doesn´t matter if it would take years) and you can get your own stuff again you can give it back. I would of course also sell it to you after that period for a very reasonable amount if you like it. Unfortunately the distance is seperating us quite a bit.. I hope times soon get better for you and you make more money so you can take care of your family and still can afford your hobbies. But remember, the most important thing is being healthy and having a loving family (or loving and caring frieds)! Money doesn´t make you happy, it just gives extra comfort if you have more than your basic needs covered. If you need to talk to someone just reach out, the internet is full of kind strangers if you are sincere and looking in the right places :)

@@jaypeterson7637 They may have talked with the now retired Trev Wilkinson. In the last 4 years Leo was alive he spent every morning with him working on new ideas and talking about old ones. Leo kept ALL his notes from day one in a drawer in his shop. Trev read them all. He helped me build a 53 Tele II ....Yes before the Strat was made Leo thought there would be a Tele II ...1/2 the back half of the Tele but double cut with the bass horn looking Strat and no treble horn or really the shape of the much later Fender Jazzmaster. The head-stock was shaped like the Strat but it was the same size as the small Tele one. I had the prototype made. It is in Fiesta Red.
@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing Sounds like a terrific guitar! I mentioned George Fullerton because my 2 younger brothers went to George's home to interview him. George and his wife were about to have lunch, so my brothers were invited to dine with them. George talked at length about the genesis of the Fiesta Red color. I would have loved to been there and listen to George reminisce!
There is something about year-specific vintage throwback models that appeal to me. Maybe it has something to do with me getting older and feeling nostalgic.😅
I love the looks of the 51 Tele and the 57 Strat. The colours are perfect. Black guard all the way. The ergonomics of the strat are perfect. But that is as far as my nostalgia goes. I am not a Purist. Give me a 9.5" radius, medium jumbo frets, a soft V neck profile and modern noiseless pickups. I would run them through a Fender Deluxe Reverb ,... Tonemaster,... with my Boss GX-100 for effects. And I am a lot older than these two guys.
I get that, but fender already offers lots of new guitars with noiseless pups, 9.5” radius and med jumbo frets. I think it’s refreshing they went back to the roots, honestly not sure why they discontinued the last vintage series in the first place
This new range looks and sounds very nice. As wonderful review as always guys 👍 Fender keep reintroducing the Vintage Series, maybe they get closer and closer to those guitars of yore? They certainly didn’t with the last incarnation, the outgoing 1 This new series seems very good but I’m very happy with my old (22 year old) US Vintage Reissue ‘62 and the later ‘65 Strat thanks. I guess for anyone discovering the wonders of these older spec guitars this range will tick all the boxes 😁
Recently there has been QC issues at fender. You can look on sweet water right now and visibly see a AV fiesta red strat with a gap in the neck pocket.
What's with the '57 Strat with a five way switch? I happened to acquire a weird '63 Tele from this series. Weird because it has the black pickguard from the '52. The previous owner hadn't bothered to open the accessories package. When I opened it, I found instructions and parts to change the 1963 wiring to modern spec and a modern, six saddle bridge if the original brass saddles aren't your thing. The pickups are quite low output but that can be compensated by turning the amp up/using a boost or overdrive, et cetera. All in all a lovely guitar and a welcome change from the junk I otherwise own. And I acquired it essentially free.
@ Pete Try a DiMarzio Injector or Virtual solo in the bridge of a strat, they’re powerful and bring the Strat close to a low output Tele bridge pickup. Cheers!
Ever since I picked up a soft v neck for the first time, it’s been on almost every strat, guitar really, but notably most all of my strats are a soft v neck and I can’t imagine going back
That Jazzmaster is so pretty. I don't need another one, and someone would be very upset given the cash ... but it's so pretty. Who cares if it has the same pickups as my other jazzys ... it has blocks.
Captain Lee, “CuNiFe” isn’t the wiring in those Wide Range humbuckers, it’s the material that the magnets are made out of (as opposed to Alnico or ceramic).
On the James Bond point: it’s not a Jazzmaster that recorded it, it was a Clifford Essex Paragon Deluxe played by the legend Vic Flick (a big old arch top) Coincidentally, Vic’s main guitar from his unbelievable session guitar career is an Olympic White 1961 Strat exactly like you have there. God that sounds good.
Out of all these, my favourite by far is the 2 colour sunburst Strat, but I absolutely hate the mere thought of the truss rod adjustment at the base of the neck, so if I get one, it'll be a Classic Vibe 50s
No Custom Telecaster? I prefer 7.25 radius necks but now I’m glad I went for an American Original 60s Custom Telecaster a couple of years ago even though it has a 9.5 radius neck.
These are great guitars.. i have the 61 strat in 3 tone. Its my favorite spec wise w the clay dots over the white or pearl, and slab board etc..and don't be afraid of the 7.25 radius. It plays great. Zero regrets.
@@MSE9107 got mine a few months ago, after waiting about 3 months for it on backorder.. I ordered from Sweetwater. I live in the US. If you end up having to wait, I'd suggest trying to wait it out. They're worth it.
grateful for the history of these classic instruments but also we should always keep moving forward.. as much as i love to buy the olympic white 1961 strat, ill be right with the pro 2..
@pete have you tried the Keeley halo compared to the deco?? Check it out, it’s worth a separate Andertons Video. Many more features than the deco, the saturation control is absolutely fantastic and analog dry through which the deco doesn’t have…
I love love love Tele's and the way they sound, but the consistent lack of a belly cut just makes it that much less playable for me than my other guitars. I know the OG tele's didn't have those cuts and I'm sure some die-hard fans would argue you'd lose tone from losing that chunk of wood, but damn, I'd love a 50s era tele with a belly cut.
Well, Leo Fender designed a solid body guitar to minimize the impact of the body on tone as means to minimize feedback. So a belly cut is always better than none
I’m usually pretty good at picking up on sarcasm. 😂 Is Pete serious when he says wood doesn’t make a difference? Don’t certain woods affect the amount of sustain a guitar has? Mahogany Les Paul’s tend to have incredible sustain.
They look like great guitars but don't like the price ... Fiesta Red Strat with rosewood and clay dots.... might need to put a couple of guitars on gumtree soon
Once again, an awesome introduction of a new guitar line! I'm glad I got one of the last 3 tone sunburst American Original 60's strats in the Netherlands, prefer it much above the new American Vintage II '61 strat. Does the American Vintage II also replace the American Original line?
@@adamlitchfield3371 Why? Based on the looks and sound that I hear (I don't like the tone from the '61 AV in any of the video's online and they all reflect the same type of tone that I dont like so it's not just 1 vid). I don't like the way the 3 tsb is sprayed, I don't like the orange maple and I don't like 7,25 (and yes I have a strat with 7,25 radius). Only thing I love about them, are the clay dot looking dots :) So yes, I'm glad I have the AO, it's the best of the best (for me). 3tsb where you can see the grain, natural colored maple on the neck, very nice and dark rosewood (alsmost black), 9,5 radius. Love it! How about you? Have you played both yet?
@@nsbomb I haven't yet. I've got an AO 60's which I'm very happy with and I was just wondering if this would be any kind of upgrade, especially because I love the Olympic White and can't afford CS at the moment.
It may be a Squire, but I'd argue that the J Mascus is one of the best bang for your buck guitars out there. It certainly would be cool to see them pick up in popularity. They deserve it.
Exactly! It bothers me so much when vintage "inspired" instruments have the wrong radius! If you want the whole vintage packet you want the original fretboard radius, even if some people think it´s unplayable... I have weird short but thick fingers with kinda big second joints which makes playing very flat fretboards very unpleasant for me, because my joint is prohibiting me from pushing down correctly all strings. Single strings are fine of course but multiple are annoying. the more rounded radius is amazing for my hands! I even love it in P basses in combination with a nice thick baseball bat neck!
Fender have killed it with this range. The pick ups are toasty warm and very vintage. I played one yesterday and it was hard to put down. I don’t usually like maple necks but they have a nitro finish that feels great. Wow
Noisy fuzzy guitars are NO help when trying to discern the tonal quality of a guitar! Just play it " normally " so we can hear what it sounds like! Thank you!
NAMM show in the 70's Leo came up to the Legend booth and tilted a Legend amp on an angle and looked at it for about ten minutes- all the while the owners were probably not breathing- Leo looked up at them and said, "nice job boys". Leo was constantly innovating and moving forward. I was sales manager of one of the first ten G&L dealers and he and George Fullerton were all over their company. They are probably watching your show right now and wondering why everyone isn't building better guitars than they were building in their 15 year magic period? Or, are they?
Those designs were so amazing that the guitar industry got stuck on them. I reckon Leo and George never expected that after 70 years, most manufacturers are still copying Teles and Strats and JM

Perfect. If you want a vintage vibe fender and you can’t afford or don’t want to drop 4k on a custom shop, these are awesome.
i cant believe they've added fiesta red to the strat line up. insane stuff. whoever got that approval at fender deserves a raise.

@@davidramos4317 he definitely is haha
The FINALLY nailed that classic wide range humbucker sound! Awesome!
Deluxe Tele sounds like a super clear Les Paul with more high end detail. Definitely the best one.
Absolutely loved the tele lineup I want a 51 so badly, gosh what great tone.
Save up for one! I had 2 and they're great and imo the best ever looking reissue tele. I personally think the body and neck tints are perfect
They look very nice, especially the 60s teles and strats. The prices of Fender's new ranges go up faster than my wages though.
Jazzmaster is my #1 choice then Tele Deluxe. Can’t wait to try them.

9.5 radius? Soft V? Noiseless pups? You sir, need the Clapton signature Strat 😎
This new range looks and sounds very nice. As wonderful review as always guys 👍

You're right. Any of the Vintage reissues from an era are gonna be great guitars.

´66 Jazzmaster and '73 Strat are the absolute best!
I have that sunburts telecaster deluxe with the 4 knobs and love it... pete's favorite of the bunch ... it's awesome
@ Pete
Try a DiMarzio Injector or Virtual solo in the bridge of a strat, they’re powerful and bring the Strat close to a low output Tele bridge pickup. Cheers!
The red translucent '63 Telecaster sounds great.
The 60's line is amazing especially the jazzmaster and the tele
That Red 63, mahogany sounds killer, I want it! Dan, TPS, Style Guitar. Super cool.
800,000 subs is right there!
Ever since I picked up a soft v neck for the first time, it’s been on almost every strat, guitar really, but notably most all of my strats are a soft v neck and I can’t imagine going back
Thanks mates! Fender just gets better with the reissue type guitars. Nice!
Sorry, the 7.5" radius goes the wrong direction for me. For some reason it hurts my fretting hand to play that small of a radius.
Great they fixed some of the issues with the original/ vintage range
Love the sound of that Tele Deluxe. I wonder how these compare to the custom shop? It looks hard to justify the difference in price.
Great video Andertons, as always ! Are you still planning to do a video about AV II basses ?
@57:47 Can't argue with Pete there, that is definitely the best sounding guitar of the bunch today.
The craic is strong with these two.
No stangs, no jags, bummer
At least we get that beautiful jazzmaster
But the '61 strat caught my eye, what a beauty!!!
Awesome filming. Need an Andertons wallpaper with those guitars at the back.
Can’t decide between lake placid blue jazz master or fiesta red strat!!
That Jazzmaster is so pretty. I don't need another one, and someone would be very upset given the cash ... but it's so pretty. Who cares if it has the same pickups as my other jazzys ... it has blocks.
Fender day is a good day :)
799,999....! Great job fellas, love the look of these and they sound like they'll scratch a near-Custom Shop itch for some folks.
Captain Lee, “CuNiFe” isn’t the wiring in those Wide Range humbuckers, it’s the material that the magnets are made out of (as opposed to Alnico or ceramic).
Indeed. Which reads as: Copper-Nickel-Iron.
Pete's right. That '75 Tele Deluxe sounds awesome!
Brilliant just what we need more Fender Guitars , the same as what came before .
Great Jam Guys.
Pete looked so happy with his 'Lisa left Eye' pun and no-one noticed......
On the James Bond point: it’s not a Jazzmaster that recorded it, it was a Clifford Essex Paragon Deluxe played by the legend Vic Flick (a big old arch top)
Coincidentally, Vic’s main guitar from his unbelievable session guitar career is an Olympic White 1961 Strat exactly like you have there. God that sounds good.
Good to see Pete still has the timing of an english batsman.
Can’t wait to try the telecasters
yes.... hi is right.... nice tone...
the tele with hole
Well done Captain…. Better every time I check out a video. Hard to play next to someone like Pete lol.
Guys those Fuzz sounds were amazing! Which Pedal did you use?
Lake Placid Blue for the win
Out of all these, my favourite by far is the 2 colour sunburst Strat, but I absolutely hate the mere thought of the truss rod adjustment at the base of the neck, so if I get one, it'll be a Classic Vibe 50s
almost 800k subs!! congrats guys, but honestly, I'm shocked you don't already have millions of subs lol
I would love to have one of the 61's
How do you sign up to vote on what should be reviewed in the best of series of videos? I take it that subscribing is not enough.
No Custom Telecaster? I prefer 7.25 radius necks but now I’m glad I went for an American Original 60s Custom Telecaster a couple of years ago even though it has a 9.5 radius neck.

Is there a maple fingerboard in the 60's Strat range?
That riff kills me lol 😆

try an offset tele, like a jazz master body with a tele sound
All my tele bodies here do have a belly cut. And at least imho they do sound like teles, though. But it could also be just the case that I'm deaf. 😳
Like to compare Vintage II 73 vs the Classic Series 70s ash strat. My first guitar :-)
I’m usually pretty good at picking up on sarcasm. 😂 Is Pete serious when he says wood doesn’t make a difference? Don’t certain woods affect the amount of sustain a guitar has? Mahogany Les Paul’s tend to have incredible sustain.
It's the 51 for me!
I love my 7.25 radius
Leap year is divisible by 4, except for years evenly divisible by 100, but not by 400. The year 1900 was not a leap year but 2000 was. FYI
Beautiful! I think you could emphasize more about those CuNiFe WRs... Fender has been selling for while normal humbuckers as Wide Ranges...
copper, nickel, iron. and its the magnets (pole pieces), not the pickup wire as lee said in the video
Need to have Mick Taylor have a whack in the ‘61 Strat. See what he thinks.
What a great guitar!
They look like great guitars but don't like the price ... Fiesta Red Strat with rosewood and clay dots.... might need to put a couple of guitars on gumtree soon
Vic Flick used an Essex Paragon hollow body for the Bond theme....I think. But it probably sounds better on a Jazzmaster!
'61 & '73 Strats🥰🥰🥰
I won on of the 51 Teles sold for og 1951 prices
That Thinline Tele is the shizz!
“I just wanna do some fuzz on this cuz I think it’s a fuzzy bastard” - Pete
“He had a left eye.” Ha!!!
How are you announcing winners?
Imo the '73 Strat sounds "less stratty" and a bit like PRS Silver Sky.
What two pedals?
Do you think fender sends these guys darker maple necks?
Made me laugh when Pete said ‘a bit too much gain’ Could you imagine Chappers saying that?
at 18:21 stereo Anyway
High frame rate is kind of hard to watch makes the video feel sped up lol
I'm reading that this series of tele's are nitro, but the thinlines aren't?
