Wow I literally bought one of the 3 purple ones this Sunday and it’s gonna arrive to Sweden today! I’m beyond excited!! Watching this video right now did not make it less exciting :D
@@oskarileikos Thanks for the suggestion, i like the prices and the work seem to be top notch, Fender is bringing back the road worn series for around a 1000 pounds too.
I buy used so they are relic guitars and half the price as new regular run instruments! $1399 for a new Gibson studio or a Used studio with relic job for $650 with hsc?
Since Rob moved back to to the outer reaches of the galaxy from which he came, Lee has really stepped up his guitar playing... often at the start of jams when there's a closeup of the guitar, I think it's Pete playing when really it's Lee!
Lee, we like to hear what Pete has to say also. And we like his playing too. It is inspiring how enthusiastic you guys are about what you do, and I recently bought a PRS (SE Paul’s Guitar) primarily because of videos from you guys and Paul. Thanks for your videos, they are very much enjoyed and appreciated! And those Relic Telecasters sound great!
I'm not a fan of relic'ed guitars, but if you complain about them, you better have never ever ever bought a pair of torn, frayed or pre-washed jeans before.
No. Never had used jeans. Prefer to wear them in myself. Just like a guitar. Would you buy a relic’d 1965 GTO that looked like someone drove it backwards through a lake but drove like a dream? Why not beat it up yourself?
Don't buy pre used looking clothes nor pre used looking guitars. I think they look like ass but I respect if it's your thing then by all means jam away.
i am from Texas and Texas T or Texas Tea (whichever you prefer) means oil so that is a perfect name for that color since in the right light it shows the flek
On an entertainment point of view these are the kind of videos I really like. You don't really need to try and sell the guitars as they'll basically sell themselves, Lee & Pete just seem to genuinely enjoy playing and talking about the guitars. It makes an easy watch.
I just love you guys. So many guitar review channels to watch and I come back to you each time. Not pretentious, you have fun, great set up. To the point as well as fun back and forth. Thank you for the effort and love you put into your channel. Big thumbs up.
I bought a brand new Stratocaster some years ago, and fell over as I was leaving the shop, knocking a chunk out of the lower bout (no, I wasn't drunk: it was winter and the steps were icy) . Instant relic! And I saved myself a few thousand pounds in the bargain! Seriously, I'm not going to hate on relics, even though I don't care for them myself. But you posed a question at the beginning, as to why someone would buy an expensive Stratocaster copy (I prefer "homage"... [tongue in cheek mode off]) rather than the real article. Personally, I would happily buy a British "Strat" hand made to my own specifications, so that is unique to me, and that is set up is to my liking, straight from the factory. That doesn't mean to say I would turn down a Fender version: in fact I do have a genuine Fender Stratocaster. And yes, it's the one I "relic-ed" falling over.
Regarding yellowing with age - I have a '87 American Standard Strat (in Torino Red), and its pickguard and controls have yellowed considerably. However, the pickup covers have not yellowed at all. As I've been the sole owner, I know these are all original parts. The yellowing on the pickguard is due to UV light - under the controls there remains a white ring. Also, paint on this guitar is polyurethane, and its not worn off or checked at all (no surprise), but it has noticeably settled into the wood grain, to the point its clearly a 3 piece body. It looks nothing like these relic'd guitars (which I really like), but its definitely got its own "vintage" vibe going on. Just imagine, its 33 years old now. When I bought it in '87, the only strats that were that old were all made in 1954!
For Mt. Startmore I'd have to put Ritchie Blackmore along with Stevie and Jimi and Jeff. Wrote that before you said 'Mount Blackmore,' so that suits me fine. Enjoyed this guys. I know you are in the selling instruments, amps etc, but you do it with such a sense of fun that pulls you in. Much thanks Captain Lee and Sweet Pete.
I love these videos, it's a dream come true to have Fender Custom Shop build guitar to your specifications. And as always, some great tones from Pete and Lee.
@@philmus1 but he's also a great Strat Player! Of course he plays a lot guitars... but I think he had a big influence on one's imagination of what to do with a Strat, added a specific sound that's connected with the Strat.
@@TheJoern Early days he played a lot of Gibson's, including Firebirds. Surely there should be an honourable mention to Richard Thompson who basically invented British folk rock on a strat.
Admit it. Pete specifically made that purple Strat for himself, so he can own a matching Strat/Tele set. As for the blue sparkle, and the TV Jones, I am so into this. But, it has the STRAT bridge, instead of the horrid ash tray bridge with hedgehog saddles. I 100% approve of this decision. Seriously, Fender, the Strat-style hard tail needs to be the standard-issue.
28:00 Little story: I used to live in London (moved to America in 2018) and always been quite like lazy to go to Guilford and check Andertons’s shop.. despite of being a fan of their channel and online shop.. back in March this year I did a cheeky business trip to London and took the chance to go to Guilford and check Pete’s 64 .. tried the Olympic white, the candy apple red, did not feel right, then I kept messing around with several guitars.. nothing called my attention .. on my way out of the Custom Shop room next to the exit door I found a very not very nice looking guitar (my taste) hanging just in the corner... I picked it up who knows why.. and played an open G chord.. it changed everything that day.. I decided to take it to the sound booth in order to hear her roar with an amp.. a staff member looked at me with the guitar waiting and he said: “that’s a pretty cool axe”...my answer was: “don’t like the colour nor the gold hardware and white tuners... but sounded amazing”. Once plugged the guitar was a beast..as soon as I left the booth I asked the price.. my jaw dropped, more than what I would pay for a guitar... on the train back to London, looking at TH-cam I see Pete and Captain testing these guitar and the Captain was playing the one that I just got my hands on a few minutes before, maybe a sign?.. Fee weeks later, sitting at home and with a brand new 63’ willcutt reissue recently bought online, which did not have the magic I felt back in Guilford.. It dawned on me that you don’t turn 40yo every day ;)... The video of the Sage Green strat that is on my lap right now: th-cam.com/video/RViU7WUObKA/w-d-xo.html&feature=share let alone that now I love the colour, golden hardware and pearly tuners ;)
I bought the Inca silver one and it’s a beast. The best guitar I’ve ever owned in 25 years of playing. Sometimes you just have to disengage the brain and go with the gut.
Thanks for tuning in! - The Captain Meets Dave Simpson will be coming out this week... Make sure to have the notification bell turned on so you don't miss out.
In 64 or so they changed the pickguards from the ones that went mint green to a material that would remain stable for longer. So 64 was probably one of those transitional eras where you'd find some of both. So Pete's could be an original scratchplate
Got my first vintage/relic tele (40th Anniversary squire mocha ) thanks Pete I did not like. till I seen your purple tele And I love it so much I have 12 guitars and I pick this one up all the time now.
Love the relic work myself, would be interesting to see the same spec customs, without the relic and then which sold first. Love the work gentlemen, I’m mighty jealous!
I love Chappers and admire his playing quite a lot, but the Captain and Pete jams are the best... I think your styles mesh better and you have great chemistry. As always, my favorite is the purple one. But the blue Tele is a very close second in looks, and by far was the best sounding. This TV Jones pickups are great.
Rory Gallagher in the top 4 without a doubt !! When Hendrix was asked what it’s like to be the best guitarist in the world he said “ Ask Rory Gallagher””. I have also seen the Beatles live. The screaming was loud but you could hear them loud and clear, unlike The Stones
Jerry Garcia would be on the mountain. He played a Strat for some of the Dead’s best years!! Jimi Hendrix Stevie Ray Vaughn Jerry Garcia Gilmour.... Muddy played a tele Buddy Holly
Danny Gatton used to relic his telecaster using a bottle of beer as slide. He's on top of the Telecaster mountain. edit: and don't forget about putting J. Mascis on top of the Jazzmaster Mountain!
The older I get, the more I appreciate relic guitars, as I don't have another 35 years to relic it myself by playing it. My old Les Paul doesn't have any paint missing, but it does have yellowing, chips in the finish around the edges and the finish itself is so cracked, it looks like a road map, from that time when it had to ride under a Greyhound bus in the winter. The back has some buckle rash, but it merely mottled the finish. It's also ridiculously heavy. They really built 'em to last.
@@oskarileikos Then why buy a relic'd, which charges extra for all those pretend "cool memories?" A relic'd guitar is like a photo album, but instead of putting your own pictures in it, you leave the stock photos of the models. "is that your dad?" No it's just some random old guy they took a picture of to sell the photo album. "Where'd this scratch on your guitar come from?" Oh, I bought it like that. In fact, I paid extra for them to put the scratch on there for me. It makes it look like I've played it a lot. Isn't that cool? "No, it's pathetic."
@@gregtoolson1606 no, sorry, now you are completely missing the point of relicing. To me, and to many others, relicing is first and foremost about the feel, not the looks. That's also what Lee and Pete are saying. Now, the looks do matter obviously as well. I want a guitar that looks a certain way. Relicing is a part of that. It's not "the story" or anything like that, it's just that relicing looks cool. And frankly, a guitar is an instrument for me. I play it. Everything else comes second. Including the memories and such.
@@gregtoolson1606 also, if you buy a genuine vintage guitar with lots of wear and tear, you haven't put the scratches there yourself and the "memories" or "photos in the album" are not yours at all. You buy it, because it feels, looks and sounds cool. Same reason as with reliced guitars.
My local Guitar Center here in Lakeland, Florida has an MIM Road Worn tele that is Pete’s tele. The neck literally feels like it’s 30 years old. And I have an almost 30 year old MIM Strat, which while having poly and isn’t fading, it has yellowed and the finish is not at all sticky. I really want that guitar. It feels so perfect, sounds amazing, and just speaks to me.
Lee improvement is really impressive, good job!!! Now your playing is rich of soul, not only scales, just music ;) "The Italian guy with a cap that took a pic with you two at Andertons last September"
I love clapton, but is his "strat" era really worthy of inclusion here? The majority of his well known(to non guitarists) stuff was done with the gibsons
Is there anyway you guys can do a shootout or blindfold challenge of the Squire telecaster Classic Vibe series? I would like to hear the 50s, vs 60, vs 60s thinline, vs 70s, vs baritone
I think a fairer way would be to have a British and a US Mount Stratmore. Marvin, Beck, Blackmore and Gilmour for the UK one. Holly, Guy, Hendrix and SRV for the US one.
I love your playing equally and really enjoy your take on guitars and gear....I also love guitars in general especially Fender Strats and Teles ,in every iteration.A couple of years ago I was looking at trading in a Fender Strat for a Nash (heavy relic)that played absolutely wonderfully.This was at a local guitar shop in Vancouver(only Nash dealer)that has a wide selection of this brand.I ended up passing on the deal because the salesman said he could not give me what i was asking for on trade.The reason was there were a few dings etc. on my guitar from actually gigging etc.which devalued my trade....I left the store slightly amused by the absurdity of this trade (Lee is right ,why buy a Strat not made by fender)..i asked the sales guy if they threw in a polishing rag with the Nash.It indeed a crazy world and Anderton's has made it a little more bearable and puts a smile on my face !!..thx guys
Hank Marvin played the first Strat ever imported to the UK. Bought by Cliff Richard. They did more for that guitar in the UK than anyone ever did!! Burns was later and short lived. Soon went back to Strats. Before it kicks off, I'm not saying anything about relative merits of players. OK?
I wasn't able to order from Andertons because I live in the U.S. and wanted to put it on financing but I bought a guitar I had speced like one of those Petes Teles in candy green double bound finish and I can say hands down it made me wish I had just bought one before I bought any other Tele I own. They are just an awesome guitar.
I have my Stratmore Buddy Holly Hendrix SRV David Gilmour. Oh I’d also LOVE to see the Beatles p, but pre fame days around Merseyside. Before all the deafening hysteria.

Can I say that 66 - 69 era strats with big headstocks are the coolest looking of all strats. IMO.
In 64 or so they changed the pickguards from the ones that went mint green to a material that would remain stable for longer. So 64 was probably one of those transitional eras where you'd find some of both. So Pete's could be an original scratchplate
The "Surf Sound" that they play at 10:42 is AMAZING and relaxing! I could listen to them all day!

Oh my god that Texas Tea Tele. I thought my GAS has been cured or at least it shouldn’t recur in the next 6 months... but oh boy...

And the adonized silver pickguard! What a gorgeous combo!

That's also what Lee and Pete are saying. Now, the looks do matter obviously as well. I want a guitar that looks a certain way. Relicing is a part of that. It's not "the story" or anything like that, it's just that relicing looks cool. And frankly, a guitar is an instrument for me. I play it. Everything else comes second. Including the memories and such.
@@gregtoolson1606 also, if you buy a genuine vintage guitar with lots of wear and tear, you haven't put the scratches there yourself and the "memories" or "photos in the album" are not yours at all. You buy it, because it feels, looks and sounds cool. Same reason as with reliced guitars.
My local Guitar Center here in Lakeland, Florida has an MIM Road Worn tele that is Pete’s tele. The neck literally feels like it’s 30 years old. And I have an almost 30 year old MIM Strat, which while having poly and isn’t fading, it has yellowed and the finish is not at all sticky. I really want that guitar. It feels so perfect, sounds amazing, and just speaks to me.
Lee improvement is really impressive, good job!!! Now your playing is rich of soul, not only scales, just music ;)
"The Italian guy with a cap that took a pic with you two at Andertons last September"
Great sounding, looking guitars and playing. Bored to tears with the relic disclaimer every time you get a new batch.
These sound great but relicked guitars are... oh, never mind. :/
I am going into business making relicked slippers, that's a great idea, cheers Lee!
Great video, amazing guitars and fantastic playing and then TH-cam totally fuck it up with endless ads!
just when i think i've been tempted by all the purple and gold guitars possible....you boys bring another one around
Pete’s purple guitar is so heavily relic’d that I thought it was bound for a moment.
You earned a like for the "I love the taint." Line. LOL!
Andertons: the sworn enemy of the headstock truss rod adjustment slot.
Jimi, Stevie, Ritchie & Rory🎸🤘🏻
Mount strat more: Jimmy, Stevie Ray, Rory G, Buddy, Dave Gilmour and Eric for me
gallagher before gilmour ... come the fuck on man
I love clapton, but is his "strat" era really worthy of inclusion here? The majority of his well known(to non guitarists) stuff was done with the gibsons
lord manshaft Surely his biggest hits to the average person are tracks like Layla, Wonderful Tonight, I Shot the Sheriff, Cocaine, Lay Down Sally etc?
Is there anyway you guys can do a shootout or blindfold challenge of the Squire telecaster Classic Vibe series?
I would like to hear the 50s, vs 60, vs 60s thinline, vs 70s, vs baritone
That Olympic White strat sounds AMAZING! HOLY!
Like in my head when I think strat, and imagine all of my favourite artists, this sound perfectly encapsulates this.

You Guys Rock And I Love My Relic And I Don’t Worry about The Paint When Letting People Handle It. 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
That Texas Tea Tele looks wicked... :)
Man, I'm only 2 Minutes in but the Captain is killing it! Great job Lee!!
I think a fairer way would be to have a British and a US Mount Stratmore. Marvin, Beck, Blackmore and Gilmour for the UK one. Holly, Guy, Hendrix and SRV for the US one.
I love your playing equally and really enjoy your take on guitars and gear....I also love guitars in general especially Fender Strats and Teles ,in every iteration.A couple of years ago I was looking at trading in a Fender Strat for a Nash (heavy relic)that played absolutely wonderfully.This was at a local guitar shop in Vancouver(only Nash dealer)that has a wide selection of this brand.I ended up passing on the deal because the salesman said he could not give me what i was asking for on trade.The reason was there were a few dings etc. on my guitar from actually gigging etc.which devalued my trade....I left the store slightly amused by the absurdity of this trade (Lee is right ,why buy a Strat not made by fender)..i asked the sales guy if they threw in a polishing rag with the Nash.It indeed a crazy world and Anderton's has made it a little more bearable and puts a smile on my face !!..thx guys
I LOVE your Fender (especially Custom Shop) videos!! I think that purple Strat is gorgeous! Thanks lads!
Ritchie Blackmore on Mt. Stratmore
They look and sound amazing. I would love to try one of those custom shop guitars one day :)
Hank Marvin played the first Strat ever imported to the UK. Bought by Cliff Richard. They did more for that guitar in the UK than anyone ever did!! Burns was later and short lived. Soon went back to Strats. Before it kicks off, I'm not saying anything about relative merits of players. OK?
Man, that white strat sounds heavenly!!!!
Awesome!! Yummy guitars for tasty licks.
Thanks for tuning in!
Can you get a non reliced custom shop but with a relic neck fitted? Love the necks but not the damaged body so much
blackmore for the stratmore
I wasn't able to order from Andertons because I live in the U.S. and wanted to put it on financing but I bought a guitar I had speced like one of those Petes Teles in candy green double bound finish and I can say hands down it made me wish I had just bought one before I bought any other Tele I own. They are just an awesome guitar.
I have my Stratmore
Buddy Holly
Hendrix
SRV
David Gilmour.
Oh I’d also LOVE to see the Beatles p, but pre fame days around Merseyside. Before all the deafening hysteria.
Texas Tea relic! Coupel a clever boys here. I would totally buy that.
Some reliced Fender Basses would be nice. I may even visit the store from the US to pick one up
Mount Stratmore-
