I was hoping for some NOS Sovtek or EH tubes, but I will send them a telegram I can't accept them under the current sanctions. ))) Anyway, thanks for the video. Always nice to hear you two play. Best regards!
We all have different taste but I find the bursts not spectacular and would prefer unicolours. Necks look fabulous and I do like the tiny block inlays. It's hard to judge the sound of the pickups on YT. They seem ok. I predict tough competition for this PJD line. Prices are in the range or close to Suhr, Friedman, LSL and the cheapest Xotic, which brands will keep a better resale value, I presume.
I dig all of them to be honest lol Andertons be killing it on the custom colors and exclusive to Andertons guitars. I've never played this brand but what a great looking boutique brand.
Nice to see some UK built stuff buy by eck they're dear for what they are. If they were hand cut/routed and shaped (like other smaller luthiers shops who ultimately cost less) then fair enough but looking at the website they're anything but, a more accurate term would be hand finished which lets face it every guitar on the market is to a certain degree. I'm not saying they're bad, far from it seen some locally and they look top notch just far too pricey for what they are. Great vid and playing as always though fellas.
Wow, the humbucker sound is one of the best on strats I've heard so far. I don't like the looks but the golden burst is interesting to me. Specwise - great guitars.
60ish% the cost of Custom Shop and all of the quality, at least in my experience (57 CS Strat, 50s Thinline Tele; PJD Carey Elite, St John). All about those PJD necks and the 'hotdog' fretwork.
We have an ice cream here in the states it's orange popcicle on the out side and vanilla ice cream on the inside, just like those Pioneer guitars the you unboxed first.
One thing I think PJD have got right, the best way for a guitar to arrive is in a shell case. All the paintwork looks pretty stunnig along with the grain on the necks although I would be more interested in the St. John. Regarding the back covers, I understand why they can be a bit of a pain but the guitars look unfinished without them. A bit like the manufacturer got so far and said 'good enough' rather than completing the instrument. Personally, I think the best way is for there to be a removable plate which is held on with magnets making it look good and easy access at the same time.
I’ve been eyeing PJD for a while. Their guitars are GORGEOUS. I would buy the teal one with the black pickguard and the rosewood board right now… but why does it have to be HSS? 😢 Really want SSS! Damn it.
Nice looking guitars , but the question is who will pay that kind of money for a Strat, and the resale value for an unknown brand will be a challenge. I thought Silver Skys were expensive .
@@chrismurphy128 yes,tempting as it seems I rarely use my strats with humbuckers in the humbucker position. a good set of single coils are the Strat sound
Yeah, it's not the same, having a real single coil in the bridge... A split coil, coil tapped bucker.. It's not the same, as for the noiseless Fenders...nup!
I have a pjd . I like it I play it a lot and it records really well . Missed opportunity by Anderson's who have picked/ordered /chosen, terrible finishes . Made them look cheap like jelly beans on acid . Especially bad call when these are 3k a piece . I'll wait for a grown up finish b4 I part with the ££
For a great marketing idea…give away one of each color to your TH-cam fans that comment ideas like this one. You extend your audience and make someone in Ohio very happy at the same time. Win win. 😊
Pretty sure Andertons makes millions .. they are one of the most impressive shops I've seen .. They could certainly afford to give away one or two premium Suhr, PRS, ESP guitars annually for the youtube subscribers . This low income pensioner in northern Canada would love a new guitar . Frigging snowing out already :( .
Excuse me when did the second Klon get up there? Also you may wanna move it away from the board that says you're giving it away or you might lose two of them 😂
extremely true, never understood people who go for luxury built guitars from lesser known boutique brands when the custom shops nowadays are made with extreme care and quality Edit: these are still wonderful guitars but I personally feel they are made for gigging musicians who are in the search for multiple different sounds etc
@@GabrielBorhes wouldnt the smaller brands put more time and effort in to the build therefore be superior in quality? As they are smaller and not putting out the same numbers
I still don't get this "smell the nitro" thing. I've sprayed nitro a few times (of a couple different brands) and it only ever smelled like acetone. Those guitars look fantastic, btw.
So not that long ago on this channel you explained what a Busker is. Here in America, in places like New York City they are always called Street or Subway Performers. We call our underground train system as the subway, not the tube. To show the influence of this awesome channel, a popular American magazine just did an article on a "Busker" who is apparently some sort of virtuoso. While I had never heard of the word before, and I know for a fact nobody here used it before a few months ago, I've been hearing it more and more. But to hit mainstream US media? That's a wide sphere of influence, indeed. I say it all started with the Captain explaining what a busker is, here on this channel. Because while Americans travel like everybody else, we pick up absolutely nothing from our surrounding. Most of my countrymen in Europe right now are in a McDonald's...
Where's your £3,000 going when you buy one of these? It's as much as a Martin 28 nowadays and nearly as much as a Lowden and they are premium acoustics and in the case of Lowdens have quite intricate carvings for the tops. These are basically Strat copies; the basic design R&D was done 70 years ago, yet the company that did the R&D charge half or only 2/3 as much.
It’s going on a guitar hand made by highly skilled luthiers out of premium materials across the board in a country with high labour costs, energy costs, property costs, taxation, etc. I’d also add I can’t find a new D28 for sale in the UK for as low as £3k. The cheapest I can find are at least 10% more than that.
Suhr Monies. nice that it's built in UK, but it's still just S style guitars without any of the brand recognition. Hard sell, especially with those bursts, an acquired taste methinks...
Well....I'm not a fan of the no back plate, it looks a bit unfinished, and the bursts don't really do it for me. Maybe solid colour in those colours might be cool, but the white burst just is a bit too peculiar. Depends, they are certainly contemporary and I'm maybe just no fan of that
Captain, please when you state they are light can you state the weight in lbs/ks. I'm signing you fellas up for rehab for nitro sniffers 😂😂 👍👍🥃Respect to you fellas. Introduction to planet earth packs on request. 😂😂
kinda feel like they are biting off fano and novo designs, but then again he just ripped off other big brands, but it gets wishy washy, who cares? i'm sure i'd love any one of these designs
Ehh. I truly don’t like the way they look. I just don’t, way too modern when it comes to the finishes. I sure there are some unique players out there who could make these look cool. But vast majority of us would look ridiculous playing something that looks like this. I’m sure they feel snd sound great. But aesthetically…it’s a big no
Color scheme - no thanks. And while we‘re at it: Lee, you keep talking and talking and talking. Is Pete meanwhile only the guitar playing lackadoodle or are you actually interested in his expert opinion? If so, let him speak…
I don’t think Pete would be allowed to give an honest opinion, more than his job is worth, how they both can sit there with a straight face and say 3k for a Strat copy.
Please be aware of scam comments. Andertons will never contact you via telegram.
People can report them too.
Telegram?!? Seriously? You know that's a dead giveaway someone close to 50 wrote that. 1876 called, they want to know if you got their telegram yet...
@@macanoodough erm, ok. Someone isn’t keeping up to speed with what Telegram means in the modern world 😉🤣🤣🤣
I was hoping for some NOS Sovtek or EH tubes, but I will send them a telegram I can't accept them under the current sanctions. ))) Anyway, thanks for the video. Always nice to hear you two play. Best regards!
I just reported three of them, hoping they'll be deleted and banned.

That maple Str@t with the gold burst is a belter. Classy looking instruments! Carlo 👍🏼🎸
Haven’t seen anything like these before. Hats off to the builder
Holy moly, those guitars are gorgeous!😍
PJD will be a household brand in no time, mark my words people!
Hmmm 🤔
Highly doubt that
These instruments look magnificent.
Really nice job, Lee. You've gotta love that "new guitar smell"! Cheers.
That Orange with the rose wood 😍😍
I dig all of them to be honest lol Andertons be killing it on the custom colors and exclusive to Andertons guitars. I've never played this brand but what a great looking boutique brand.
Colors look odd to me.
The blue-metallic one is my favourite.
Oh man these are beautiful!!!
I've been waiting for the HSS version
I'd love to hear someone try one of these for a metal situation. Maybe send one to Ola Englund for a 'will it chug' challenge.
Nice to see some UK built stuff buy by eck they're dear for what they are.

Id take a g&l over this anyday.
That Teal-green fade is noice
I wish you had ordered purple/lavender. Beautiful guitars!
Wow, the humbucker sound is one of the best on strats I've heard so far. I don't like the looks but the golden burst is interesting to me. Specwise - great guitars.
A video with Lee! Featuring Lee!?
I'm totaLEE excited. What's that? I'm banned from commenting ever again!?
Great to see some non reliced guitars making their way into the guitar gallery at long last.
Not crazy about the weird bursts...the gold is semi cool...maybe solids next time.
Totally agree. I’m sure they feel and sound great. But the colors are horrendous
60ish% the cost of Custom Shop and all of the quality, at least in my experience (57 CS Strat, 50s Thinline Tele; PJD Carey Elite, St John). All about those PJD necks and the 'hotdog' fretwork.
But will they hold their value like a Custom Shop?
Lovely looking guitars. These are built 15 miles down the road from me, would love to own one at some point. Can't decide if I like green or gold more
Very nice! Tasty inlays and sexy bursts
PJD guitars usually look great and these definitely do. I like the Green one best.
I support fender instruments also I occasionally play bass
We have an ice cream here in the states it's orange popcicle on the out side and vanilla ice cream on the inside, just like those Pioneer guitars the you unboxed first.
Looks great!

I like the Solero guitar @ 2:07!
I like the teal one. I thought it was blue at first 😮
Damn good bursts holyyy
Omg that orange and white one looks like ice cream
I’ve been eyeing PJD for a while. Their guitars are GORGEOUS. I would buy the teal one with the black pickguard and the rosewood board right now… but why does it have to be HSS? 😢 Really want SSS! Damn it.
We can offer any pickup config you like!
@@Pjdguitars. In these colors? I thought these were Andertons exclusives. I’d love to see these become a regular part of your lineup.
That orange and white finish reminds me of icecream.
I will have the gold/maple one - yoinks! Sadly not in my budget.
these sound fantastic
HOLY GRAIL!!!!
that Yellow/Gold-ish one WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO
wallet : NOPE NOPE DONT TRY BUDDY!!
I thought it is like under $1000 dollar range like the Fender MIM but then I saw the price :)
Nice looking guitars , but the question is who will pay that kind of money for a Strat, and the resale value for an unknown brand will be a challenge. I thought Silver Skys were expensive .
Nice! I've always wanted an HSS Strat. I love the versatility of it. I just own a Tele.
No-one JUST owns a Tele Marc! Brilliant guitars.
@@baabaabaa2293 Definitely my go-to.
It's not a Strat... and with a bridge-humbucker it's a no-go. If I ever buy a S-type guitar, it has to have three single-coils. Period. 😉
@@chrismurphy128 yes,tempting as it seems I rarely use my strats with humbuckers in the humbucker position. a good set of single coils are the Strat sound
Yeah, it's not the same, having a real single coil in the bridge... A split coil, coil tapped bucker..

ooooo, nice!
I just wish I could order one of those roasted maple necks for my tele!....good lord they are beautiful!
Some beautiful flamed maple necks available on eBay!
Warmoth do fantastic roasted flamed maple necks.
4:12 I agree! Actually I'd like all my guitars light weight lol
The market is surely at saturation point now with these expensive S type guitars?
not a huge fan of these colours, but they're clearly beautifully built - in the UK no less!
nice. i like the fret markers.
Do they have the 10"/12" fretboard radious?
Love the necks but those bodies …they look weird …
About the guitars , they look beautiful 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
So cool, another guitar i can't afford 😥.
Like Iconic guitar, amazing axe but too expensive...
Nice video as usual by the way 👍

For 3 grand I'm all set , nice looking guitars but can't justify paying that much for one!
3 grand? i thought my ibanez AZ was expensive, its a no from me
Anything over 2k I have to go custom shop Fender. That’s because I’m a guitar player and not a musician.
extremely true, never understood people who go for luxury built guitars from lesser known boutique brands when the custom shops nowadays are made with extreme care and quality

@@GabrielBorhes wouldnt the smaller brands put more time and effort in to the build therefore be superior in quality? As they are smaller and not putting out the same numbers
@@GabrielBorhes each to their own, play the instrument you like. That shouldn't be hard to understand
Where do you find fender custom shop for 2k? Teach me please
@@martinnem7535 I suggest you worry more about paying for reading lessons than buying new guitars, bucko.
I still don't get this "smell the nitro" thing. I've sprayed nitro a few times (of a couple different brands) and it only ever smelled like acetone. Those guitars look fantastic, btw.
I've seen it mentioned more than once that it's actually the buffing compound, not the nitro.
Jana Extensions
No backplate 👍🏻 BUT... the 3 trem springs should be parallel not angled.
See thru pick guard

You can also get a car for 3k what’s your point?
These go up against CS, so no they’re not being charged for twice as much, if anything they’re half the cost of an equivalent custom shop…
Scale length listed as 22.5" ?????
Suhr Monies. nice that it's built in UK, but it's still just S style guitars without any of the brand recognition.
Hard sell, especially with those bursts, an acquired taste methinks...
Noice!
Ah, my family doesn't need the heat on this winter anyway.
Cheeper than Fender Custom Shop but with no resale/long term value. Great guitars anyway.
Don’t sell them play them
I find them aesthetically displeasing - colour-wise.
I agree, a little ‘too different’ colour wise. Not for me I’m afraid.
How does the giveaway work? The only requirement is to be subscribed?
Yup
@@andertons thanks. Fingers crossed because I don't have an amp right now lol
New Rolex Lee?
Are we allowed to have negative comments anymore Lee?...Like I hate the paint job.
Similar price point to a Fender Strat
Er, don't shoot me but I think all the colour-burst options look really cheap (2D and DIY). Yes, I know they're nitro, but still.....
Totally agree !
Same... really not so much a burst as an outline.
Well....I'm not a fan of the no back plate, it looks a bit unfinished, and the bursts don't really do it for me. Maybe solid colour in those colours might be cool, but the white burst just is a bit too peculiar. Depends, they are certainly contemporary and I'm maybe just no fan of that
Look over your shoulder.Fender May buy you out.😊
Where's the purple? 🤣
6 screw trems ugh
Am I the only one here who doesn't like the colors?
I think the Cream T thing makes perfect sense. Because you need to order one now or it scone! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes.
I see wot ya did there, Jammy bugga!
I kinda wish someone, with a high quality Strat type, would just move that volume dial, just little! Out of the way!
Captain, please when you state they are light can you state the weight in lbs/ks. I'm signing you fellas up for rehab for nitro sniffers 😂😂 👍👍🥃Respect to you fellas. Introduction to planet earth packs on request. 😂😂
They should have all the individual weights listed on our website
Gordon Bennet £ 3k.
Maybe too zingy sounding for my tastes. A little thin even?
So you can buy the Fender American Ultra Stratocaster for £2,000 or one of these for £3,000. Okay.
shark fluff
Not my cup of tea. I prefer Fender all the way!!!
the white paint is so annoying 😅
kinda feel like they are biting off fano and novo designs, but then again he just ripped off other big brands, but it gets wishy washy, who cares? i'm sure i'd love any one of these designs
Does anyone else cringe every time Lee’s ring “clacks” against the neck!😨
I have seen prettier guitars before...
I dont like colors!Its beter that they are more classic.
Ehh. I truly don’t like the way they look. I just don’t, way too modern when it comes to the finishes. I sure there are some unique players out there who could make these look cool. But vast majority of us would look ridiculous playing something that looks like this. I’m sure they feel snd sound great. But aesthetically…it’s a big no
They look like beautifully well made guitars. From my perspective, the colours are rather poor. They look like they are trying too hard.
Just another "boutique" ridiculously expensive Strat clone with an impossible small primary and secondary footprint.
Color scheme - no thanks. And while we‘re at it: Lee, you keep talking and talking and talking. Is Pete meanwhile only the guitar playing lackadoodle or are you actually interested in his expert opinion? If so, let him speak…

Not a fan of the colours to be honest. They look a bit like cheap lolly pops.
Ugly colours.
Sorry Captain but the colour schemes of these Woodford Pioneer guitars are truly awful.
Sorry, I've got to go against the flow and say I think those burst 'strats' are the ugliest guitars I've seen in a long time
Is that a orange creamsicle cake?
