I think a big advantage to this guitar is if you like it but want to use different pickups, just need a fender pickguard and you can use anything you want.
Fender/Squire have been making some great new stuff recently. I just checked-out this Strat in surf-green & I may have to pick-one up … after I finish restoring the ‘76 Strat that I inherited when my dad passed. He got it as a project & never finished it, so … I’ve just recently learned to love Strats. I’ve always been a Telecaster fan.
@@banditcosmo such a shame. How do you like your EJ strat? I've never played one but I have a 2lb swamp ash body on a partscaster. Fender can't even offer that.
I am a bass player, and if I were looking to play guitar, I think that buying the standard Stratocaster would be and should be the first choice. After that, this semihallow F hole Stratocaster would be a secondary/supplement to the original Stratocaster. Another example as a bassist would be a P bass vs. a PJ bass: I love the PJ bass and own three of them, but having the original P bass was first. That's just my opinion, YMMV.

Have 3 of the new Thinlines, Tele and strats....who needs one?? They're great, I'm on the love side too John
Just had my pick guard changed to white pearl and now the pink really pops!
Did you switch the pick guard yourself or you had a professional do it? 🎸
@ I had a luthier do it.
I thought you guys had quit the channel!
Happy to see you're back.

Stunning! And has a really unique tone for a strat. It sounds like a cross between an ES-335 and a strat. Gotta have it in that blue color.
When Fender says what in the hell do we do with all of this crappy ash scrap that's way too heavy.
Yeah, thinelines should be lightweight. I was interested in one of these, but most are too heavy. I have a Eric Johnson thineline and it's under 7lbs.

@@bradleyclosson5042 Love it, awesome strat but I've only had a few strats to compare.
Beastly playing 🙌
I'd seriously check it out if you could buy one with a maple neck / fretboard. The Daphne blue one's and surf green one's are killer looking.
Nothing really new ,they did an Eric Johnson Thinline Strat a few years back.... they're really cool though !

I think I still want Eric Johnson's Thinline Strat .. I know it is out of production
Almost $2000 no locking tuners? Great sounding/looking guitar.
Sounds exactly like a solid body strat guitar with some mid boost
They don't sound/feel like a semi-hollow...tactile response is the same as any solid-body strat.
Semihollow strat 👍
Baked bean pickguard 👎 (though its easy to swap)
Whats the difference in the F Hole You should have compared with a Pro II without the F hole otherwise no proof of a benefit from the F HOLE
Honestly... I'd rather have one of the original stratacoustic guitars.....
