@@artist91fb thanks so much! It’s a Japanese fender from 2002, ST62 model, which has been refinished with nitrocellulose lacquer. The saddles have a little corrosion on some spots but this adds to the “vintage” vibe I guess, and so far I haven’t had problems, I rarely break a string on this guitar. Oh yes, the tone knob thing should be mandatory for strats.

@@mightychad3796 thanks so much bro 🙏🏻

@@AndrewAHayes that’s an awesome story! Really enjoyed it, thanks so much for sharing. Yes, the Japanese are very meticulous and take a lot of pride in what they do, they don’t allow themselves to do something badly. That’s why I always trust a Japanese fender or squier, or anything Japanese really, like boss pedals, before anything else. These Japanese fenders and squiers must have really confused a lot of people when they came out because they’re really so great it’s unbelievable.

@@tymanngruter1808 yes, having a guitar that makes you wanna play is the best thing in the world; right? Paisley strats are so cool! Especially a vintage one from 1969.

@@homegrownson thats the great thing with fender japan. No matter the year or model it always delivers great quality. I have yet do find a bad fender japan guitar, unless it’s been butchered by previous owners.

@@oyemimelaza wow, I’m speechless! Thanks so much!Glad that you like the way it sounds, and that it could translate well through a TH-cam demo.

@@truog2003brasilia thanks so much! Santana is a big inspiration for me

Drummer could have done better though

@@jaydogdogbite8081 hey thanks for chiming in. Nice to know this. I had a 1989 ST-57. It was a great guitar of course, although I don’t think that this 2002 one is any worse. Yes the necks on them are so great. This one in the video has rolled edges, no sharp transitions at all, just the smoothest neck I have ever played.

@@deandee8082 it was made around 2002 , 62 replica

@@jonkim2830 thank you so much! I love Japanese fenders too ✌🏻

@@rockhead69 oh that’s a bummer . I briefly had an 80s one too, 57 model. They are all very nice.

@@rockhead69 do you remember what model yours was?

fuck thieves !

@@FraCosta. thanks! It was very skillfully done.

@@javaswara4789 thanks so much brother 🙏🏻

@@han36solo hey Han! Thanks so much my friend. It’s a classic combo right? Ages Olympic and dark rosewood. That’s one vote for the nerdy stuff haha. Have a great week Han 🙏🏻

@@han36solo oh, forgot to say, it has the vintage radius, although it’s so slicky and easy to play that I really don’t feel it

@@whiskeymikefsx valeu brother! Feliz que ela esteja com você sendo tocada como merece.

Thanks a lot! Yes a good refinish can do wonders

@@Gvecchi thanks so much! 🙏🏻

@@wilgerfernandezsanches268 muchas gracias! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@@g.giorni6565 thank you mysterious person! You rock too 😉❤️✌🏻🎸

@ We rock! 😎✨

@@g.giorni6565 We do ❤🔥 😎

@@jrmeu1971 thanks so much! Have a great week 🙏🏻

@@CC-fi3pp thank you, it is enjoying a quiet life in retirement now, don’t want to risk. But yes it’s unlike any other SD-1 I’ve heard, it’s darker and warmer.

@rafaelzengo5534 Can you solder? If you can, then you can grab a through hole non smt SD-1 for $50, get some 1s2473 diodes, yours probably has blue bands from your description but check, then use a multimeter to match the exact value of your diodes as they'll differ with parts tolerance, write down the exact order of the slightlt different values too, then match them with the bunch you have brought that'll all differ slightly, then swop the signal caps to probably film ones, but check, and match parts tolerance again and you'll have a clone of your original for probably under 70 bucks.

@@tristanstephens3322 i built it following the instructions given by Wampler in the video linked in the description

@@inherbeli this pickguard belongs to a made in japan Stratocaster that I also have, it fit perfectly, but it’s going back to the guitar of origin soon, I’ll put the original white one back

@@inherbeli yes, I changed the black plastics for cream ones.

@@rafaelzengo5534 are the spacing 55mm? i also want to change mine thx

@@inherbeli I’m not sure about the spacing, but it’s the same spacing as the classic vibes first generation, and standard fender spacing. It’s not the most narrow

@@GNERI123 eu fico feliz que tenha servido de alguma coisa amigo, obrigado mesmo. Esse solo com certeza mostra toda a genialidade do clapton na guitarra. Muita precisão, e ele pensava essas frases tão perfeitas e tão bem executadas, com ótimo senso de tempo, improvisando.

@@RollingStoneZzzzz thanks so much! Really happy if it has any resemblance to the master. The playing still has quite a lot to improve though lol

@@rafaelzengo5534 No worries 👍 Das 😎 all! 👍😉

@@officialWWM true, as long as you don’t mind y he weight of it! Joking, I love Teles, you are absolutely right.

@@sadowskihomestudio no, fortunately. Most squiers come with the bigger rout. It was a drop in replacement, I just bought this (very ugly) HSS pickguard. A friend gave me the humbucker, all the other parts I had. It wasn’t easy to make all the soldering work at first but it eventually did.

@@rafaelzengo5534 thanks man

Thanks my friend! I guess at least I can say "honest take", like if somebody saw me playing live, it would be something like this, lots of mistakes and brain farts.

@@han36solo hi Han! Yes, I think I’ve finally accepted this truth. I like the bridge single coil but it’s not very useful outside of a blues or light rock context. If you want to be really versatile you need an HSS strat. Thanks so much my friend ❤️

@@user-bn4nc9fc8r thanks 🙏🏻

@@rafaelzengo5534 you are welcome may i ask what pedals in this vid?

@@user-bn4nc9fc8r Sure, no problem my friend. It's a BOSS OD-3 for the first half with less gain, then I kick in a BOSS DS-1 on top of that for the higher gain. I also have a Zoom G3 multi-fx in the chain where I'm using I think just a bit of compression and EQ. For an amp I used a Fender Blue Deluxe.

@@rafaelzengo5534 cool ty nice too

@@rogeriocavichioli2370 fender Baja telecaster (classic player)

@@podfigo generally comfortable, a bit too chunky for my taste but it’s fine, I just don’t get along with the thick gloss

@@vgfxworks thank you, but, on the other hand, I could never play a solo like this on the spot, off the top of my head like he did.

Thanks! But after 3 years i don’t think I could play it now without some practice lol

Yes !

Muito obrigado amigo!

Thank you! It’s a vintage modified 70s. I only changed the pickguard, pickup covers and knobs.

Glad you like it, thanks so much

Thanks so much my friend! Hope you’re doing great. You are correct. And to add to the nerd talk, I’m pretty sure you spotted this detail by the position of the middle pickup upper screw lol

@@rafaelzengo5534 exactly but also the colour ;)
