Bodyknowledge 77 Brah, thanks for always grabbing these tunes (sometime I cheat and look b/c I can't always recognize them). For today, the James Brown song is Sex Machine (not Get On Up)
I own one of these to this day. The first guitar I ever bought and its been through the ringer. I own several guitars now (70's SG, USA Tele & Explorer, Gretsch) and this Strat is still a useful part of the arsenal. Very early on I replaced the bridge pickup with a SD HotRail and added some paper between the trem springs. I played through a Marshall Jc900 mostly and I think its a cool unique tone. I have not had noticeable problems with tuning when I use it the whammy. Also, I like that the trem bar stops at the output jack and its easy to catch. The wide neck is cool too. All the naysayers can hate on it from afar because it's the thing to do but if they spent time with it and actually played it, turned a few knobs, they'd find something they like about it I'm sure. I should mention too that most are hearing the guitar through tiny little computer or phone speakers. Its different face to speaker and finger too fretboard. Plus... its cool that its a Strat but not a Strat. Remember when every one hated on Kay's and "Sears" but now they are hip as shit? Maybe the old "Smith Era" will have its day in the sun beyond Bryan Adams "Run to You" video? You never can tell. I just thought someone should defend this underdog. Thanks for your time and thanks for the vid!

Hi, I have sunburst 2 knob strat that I bought new in 1984, I have the tremelo, and all the paperwork. Haven't played it in ages but it still looks fantastic.
I have the same strat but I fitted the jack plate on the body and added the extra tone pot , like a traditional strat, never had any tuning issues and still have the whammy bar that came with it.
Yep, the Lego gift shop is right by the entrance, with multiple other smaller stores on site too. Enjoy hauling it around for he day! Happy birthday Nico!
got one of these in sunburst, from my dad when he passed. that thing never had the whammy bar and its near impossible to ever find one. still play it even though not a fan of the pickups. sentimental value.
Happy Birthday Nico! Mark. We need to talk. By now you had to have seen the repeated and growing number of requests for Rory Gallagher. My man Fluro Flash has been asking for waaaaay too long. He watches every day. I watch every day. We are your true audience. Give us some Rory. Please. And do a Teisco.
My theory on these guitars was that all the things that were done differently (output jack, trem) were done to reduce routing/assembly time. On this guitar, everything can be loaded from the front, the pickguard can be completely assembled/tested before assembly, and the trem can be dropped in before the pickguard. It doesn't make a better guitar, but it sure is a lot faster to assemble. I don't think many were sold though.
Nico Dude! Happy Birthday!! Legoland for you guys don’t know it , it’s just up the street from me🤘😊enjoy! Too many people looked up the website which makes it crash , depending on the your hosting. Thanks Mark ✌️ and Jen 🌷🌷🌷
#Straturday #1983FenderDanSmithDualKnob 1) Summer of ‘69/Bryan Adams 2) Just What I Needed/The Cars 🚗 3) Sweet Home Alabama/Lynyrd Skynyrd 4) Sex Machine/James Brown 5) Mary Had a Little Lamb/SRV 🤘🏻 stellar setlist, awesome demo @markagnesi Hi Jen 🎥🎸
I own this guitar and I love it. The master tone offers a cool tone on the bridge pickup which you can’t get on a traditional Stratocaster (one tone is for the middle and the other for the neck in most cases). Also the neck is a nice shape (I think it’s a D shape neck, very thin). Mine sounds great to my ears despite all the cost cutting Fender did but it’s all personal preference. If you see one I would give it a try.
I had an 83’ gold elite strat that was a beautiful transparent green paint job. Same trem system but it had like a micro tune but thingy. Pain in the ass to change strings if you took them all off at the same time. Also push/push for each pickup. Some weird lace sensor pickups.
Hi Mark and Jen, it’s me George from Santa Barbara. I love my McGuire Blackie Strat Mark set me up with at Norm’s! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’ll thank you again when I see you. I thank Mark McGuire also for telling me about it! Can you broker for me it’s twin sister? I’ll call you and ask? I was playing it jammy style when I saw this Straturday vid. My luthier Hans Pukke here in SB has a 2-knob DS Strat that is his favorite! And he has had his share of Strats. He will never sell his! He did change the pickups to Lollar’s though. I have 2 early 82 Dan Smith Strats with red bobbins 3 knob Strats. A super heavy??? Black/rosewood and a Sienna burst/rosewood 7.5lb. Necks are thin at the nut for sure! Not my favorite profile. Very very nice guitars! Happy Birthday little Nico! My boys favorite neighbor who is our extended 4th boy is Nico! Nico’s are the best!
Yeah, I'm super late to the party but I don't think those are the original pu's I have a two knob and the pick ups are super epic. Low output compared to all my other strat pu's. I have lace sensor, Fat 60's, (which are also rare and exceptional), texas specials, Klien Jazzy Cats and some Squire vintage vibe. The two knob's sound nothing like the ones in the vid. Those are awful.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICO !! You have my permission to buy absolutely anything you want at the LegoLand gift shop, and make your dad carry it around all day.
I'd like to hear a general sound comparison of that with a regular strat and a hardtail strat, I liked it. Loved the $0.00 prices last night on a lot of the stuff on the website too...Felt a little closer to my dreams than I could have ever imagined.
I have this exact Stratocaster WITH the whammy bar! The case in the video isn't original to the guitar though. That's a 1990s molded case, the 1983 Stratocasters came with a much nicer black case. The X1 pickups are stunningly great on these guitars, really glassy-sounding with a slightly increased output compared to 1970s pickups. Of all the Fender guitars I've owned this is the only one where I kept the stock pickups.
I also have this guitar in a sienna sunburst finish. But as far as I know, the original pickups in this model is not the famous X1. I think the X1s were put into earlier "Dan Smith" models, and the guitar in the movie is a "two knob" model.
@@jakubhap7728 Thanks for the correction, I was always under the impression these had X1 pickups. And yes, these are categorically NOT Dan Smith Stratocasters despite being described that way in most eBay and Reverb sales pitches.
@ Had to smile because I also wrote what I read on the internet! Just goes to show these 1980s guitars are not well documented compared to other eras of Fender.
I never did like those front mounted input jacks but otherwise the design mods are pretty good and it sounds cool , a little tinny I thought , kinda thin , but maybe that was just the song choices , otherwise groovin version of the strat , something a bit different and unique . GOTD rules , happy birthday Nico , great demo Mark.
I have one of these. I have many other guitars but this is still my main axe, the one I learned on, and it's like my right arm. Still performing and recording with it to this day. It's been highly modified over the years; pickups on it now are DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge, DiMarzio Cruisers in middle and neck and they sound great. (I've used EMG's, Hot Rails, and Lace Sensors in the past, but the DiMarzios sound the best to my ears.) Due to odd string spacing at the B & High E, I was unable to use traditional pole piece pickups due to audible volume loss on those strings, thus the rail-type pickups. It's also true the tremolo bars are hard to find; I lost mine ages ago and there are NO replacements by Fender or 3rd parties, which is fine because it didn't stay in tune anyway. Works way better as a stop-tail. There are also no bridge saddle replacements for this bridge! I had one side of the American Standard bridge saddles machined off to accommodate the drop-in string-loader when I replaced the old saddles. This guitar is definitely an odd duck, but the neck feels great and the body is very resonant. I replaced the frets a few years ago and it felt like a whole new guitar. I'll never part with mine.
Happy birthday to the coolest drummer of the coolest band in the world , CHARLIE WATTS , 76 years old today ,hey Mark, see if your boy is into drums, you'd always have someone to jam with
Cool rocker strat......I hope you enjoy Legoland......should be a good time.....I know that you've worked hard and saved your money for this day.....your kids are only little once.....enjoy them......happy birthday Nico!!!!!
I'm a huge fan of GTOD & Mark and Jen...but can someone help me out here? I thought the Strat position number 1 started on the bridge and worked up 2,3,4,5 to the neck...Have I been counting the sequence incorrectly for years?
This was my first Fender Strat ever. Looked weird, but still sounded like a Strat should. It's not a "Dan Smith"-Strat, but a "Smith-Era"-Strat, by the way. Huge difference!
My first ever fender also! Gift from family so I'm always going to keep it. It has Dan Smith's improvements. That is a unique neck 12 in radius he made with all the new machines. Many of those neck used into late 80s. I love the tone, I'm on fender forums with past and current employees, and they say that's when quality control was brought back to high standards!
How great?? Awseome and simpler than the other strats. Just two knobs!! And the output in this position is really nice. It's those little things that make a guitar be nicer. AND the tremolo system is different. OK I WANT THAT GUITAR although I'm not a Fender guy!!! Are these features on "today's" strats????
Neck Pickup: Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams Neck/Middle Pickup: Just What I Needed - The Cars Middle Pickup: Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd Middle/Bridge Pickup: Get On Up (Sex Machine) - James Brown Bridge Pickup: Not sure
1: Bryan Adams- Summer of '69 2: The Cars- Just What I Needed 3: Lynyrd Skynyrd- Sweet Home Alabama 4: ??? 5: Stevie Ray Vaughan- Mary Had A Little Lamb Not a big fan of Dan Smith era Fenders, but this one sounds pretty cool. Doing away with the recessed input jack and the rear tremolo cavity makes it not really a Strat.
Its not a "Dan Smith" Stratocaster ...this is the "Smith-era" Stratocaster which is something COMPLETELY different! Dan Smith Strat = desired and sought after. But the 2-knob version (like shown here) is one of the least ever wanted Strats of all time! Check your research! It was considered the Cheapocaster!
I find it funny how many people call the “output” jack an input jack. There is no input jack on a guitar. A guitar jack is “output” only. Happy late birthday Mark. I am a Strat fan, but this one I would pass on. Cheers !!!
You can afford a Mexican Fender with near (or sometimes surpassing) the quality of an American Fender. - - or - - Check the Chinese Epiphones (I have three)
Anthony Kueber I was mostly being sarcastic. Most of the gotd guitars are super rare and expensive but this one isn’t as desirable. And it’s also one I’m not particularly fond of .

I have never seen a Stratocaster like that before. Learn something new all the time on this channel.

4th song I believe is Sex Machine by James Brown. Guitar sounds like crap to be honest.
Sounds like Prince
The most unfunky version of The Godfather, James Brown's, "Sex Machine", that I've ever heard.
James Brown.

Those trems are a nightmare! Thank god those weren’t around long.
Have you ever been to Electric Legoland?
LOLOL
I have the same strat but I fitted the jack plate on the body and added the extra tone pot , like a traditional strat, never had any tuning issues and still have the whammy bar that came with it.

Interesting strat, new to me. HBD Nico✌🏻
Crazy, I was just researching these because I plan on getting myself a present soon, and 1983 is my birth year. Really not sure about them though.
I ordered 2 Shirts, can’t freaking wait to get them man 😀
my least favorite sounding Strat ever. JMO

Can you please please do a video on the Rickenbacker 325c64!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feliz cumpleanos nico! Cary that stuff around Padre! Me and my old lady have been there! Family first mark! You know!
Prices keep going up on these because of the limited production. The bowling ball swirl finish strats and telecaster from 83 run around 6 grand!

That is an output jack. It outputs signal to the amp which indeed has an input
I have a cream and white, rosewood fingerboard 83. I've wondered how much if anything it was worth.
Was this a Made In Japan year?
I find it funny how many people call the “output” jack an input jack. There is no input jack on a guitar. A guitar jack is “output” only.
Happy late birthday Mark. I am a Strat fan, but this one I would pass on.
Cheers !!!
Wow a guitar I stand a chance of actually being able to afford!
