Guarantee no one commenting plays guitar, lol. I teach. I'm only 13 and I teach. I bet no one commenting knows anything about music, lol! Sorry, sorry. I'm bragging lol, but, well I can.
I love this Guitar and Rivers is an underrated shredder! Also I literally just watched your Kurt Cobain video today and now this shows up on my recommended. Subscribed.
10-16” compound radius is Warmoth’s standard / default. Ken Warmoth invented the compound radius (conical shaped fretboard) so they used that as a default on all their strat necks. You can still order a continuous radius, if you want, but that option would have to be changed from the default.
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for somebody to make this video. I built two very similar Warmoth Strat builds this year, which were heavily inspired by Rivers’ guitar.
I think the assumption of the fingerboard radius comes from the fact that Warmoth currently has those compound radius specs on their necks. Perhaps they did back then too.
Something to note: The photo of the replica you used got one thing wrong. The knob for the black ice module is labeled "Volume", but the volume control has a knob that says "Master" on it
The photo shows “volume” for both, which is what Rivers had. Mike (the creator of the pictured replica) has a “Master” knob on his personal Blue Strat copy. It is debated that Rivers didn’t even use the black ice module.
The original blue warmoth Strat , on some of the videos of the blue album - was built by Jason, who left the guitar behind when he got fired from weezer… this video is way out on facts ✌️
@@richkentbondoc5206- He may have been choosing to be cagey about it, but in an interview/lead guitar analysis with that guy Schifflett from Foo Fighters, when asked about the guitar Rivers said that Cropper had specced it and that he wasn’t entirely sure what-all was in it, just that he’d liked his guitars. Then again, in other interviews he says that the “Weezer” sound is actually Ric Ocasek’s guitars, even to this day, either a Jaguar (I think) on Blue or a Gibson Les Paul Jr. What was stunning to me was the revelation that there’s never been, not even offered to him, a Rivers Cuomo signature guitar. This is such a bizarre fact to me, as there’s not one “signature” anything I’d be more interested in than something like that, given that I don’t have any signature anything gear.
Great video man! Though at 9:44, why did you make this part to unnecessarily long? You could've just said: "both guitars were blue, had a Seymour Duncan pickup in the bridge, reportedly had sperzel tuners, covered in stickers at one point, had clones made for the original player, have a cult-like following among fans, etc etc...
ive been searching for almost an hour and cant seem to find it. I think it was at the Reading Festival show in 1996 but I only seem to find audios. Im not sure

"I was born with equal length legs, but as I grew to full height, my left leg grew nearly two inches shorter than the right. I wore custom shoes from age 16. After the success of The Blue Album, I underwent the Ilizarov procedure to correct the condition." RC
What's wrong with walking in circles?
YES!! BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO HISTORY THIS GUITAR!! I have a pink Warmoth and when I found out about his guitar I became a huge fan
LOVING these videos. Please never stop.
Wow, thanks!
Could you do a history of Tom Delonge’s strats and Gibsons?
I was just going to comment that!
Workin' on it.
I love his sticker strat
@@SecretsofRock I'm waiting for it
I just posted a video on his Strats
There’s no way you only have 1k followers you deserve 100k followers
Thanks, that'd be awesome.
Love the SIAS instrumental playing in the background (California).
Where's the video of rivers throwing blue on stage? I can't find it.
LOVE THESE!!!
Thanks!
"the player is rivers Cuomo"
*Shows goddamn buddy Holly*
Okay you got yourself a sub
Thank you!
Little known info, Boogie Bodies ordered Necks and Bodies from other venders including Fernandes of Japan. Another Rivers/Billie Joe connection
That's rad!
Meditation part killed me 💀
F spaced is Fender not Floyd?
did he really get his weezer streched??
Dean weens musicmaster
Hello
Pleaseeeeee do the Tom DeLonge white Stickered Stratocaster
That's literally what I'm working on now.
@@SecretsofRock LETS GOO, maybe eventually you can do his ES-333s or his signature strats
Done, enjoy it!
@@SecretsofRock I enjoyed every minute lmao
you gotta cover all of tom delonges strats in the next video
Doing it.
Done.
Liz phair's underwear...sorrry..!!...i mean liz phair mustang..!!...she used it almost 30 years.
How about Brian May?
He's on the list for sure
Most copied? I’ve never seen this guitar or even heard of this dude by name, and I’ve listened to Weezer for almost twenty years.
That's on you lol
Guarantee no one commenting plays guitar, lol. I teach. I'm only 13 and I teach. I bet no one commenting knows anything about music, lol! Sorry, sorry. I'm bragging lol, but, well I can.
i think cobains blue mustang may have been an influence on the look abit too with the tourt pick gaurd , as we know rivers is a massive nirvana fan!
What skystang or comp stang
@@UltraZombie skystang for sure with the colours
You should try to do Mac DeMarco’s Cardboard Queen that guitar has such a unique sound
that would be amazing
No it doesnt
@@Danielfucks69 it sounds like shit. I love Mac but seriously man
@@brazillionairemma1373 agreed
They said “unique” not good
WHY IS NO ONE MENTIONING THAT IT HAS THE SAME SCHEME AS KURT'S MUSTANG
I love this Guitar and Rivers is an underrated shredder!
Also I literally just watched your Kurt Cobain video today and now this shows up on my recommended. Subscribed.
Ironic that I got this notification after weezer just finished their set in Chicago

I’d kill for a Josh Homme guitar history video 🤤
He was born with the shorter leg. (sure thats been mentioned a dozen times already) edit: actually you were probably making a joke..
The original blue and green guitars were alder. The blonde and black guitars were maple. They were used live for E standard songs on the Green Album.
its weird being named "river" and hearing "rivers" guitar,
Adam Jones Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst
Great idea, especially because Gibson just released the signature version.
And both bands are touring together this summer.
Cool content. Keep up the good work.
Will do, thanks!
I love these videos! could you do one on randy roads’s Flying V or Lindsey Buckingham’s various guitars
Great suggestions! They're now on my list.
I know rivers loved nirvana, so it’d be pretty cool if he chose sonic blue & the tortoise shell guard to match Kurt’s mustang
Or rivers is kurt 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Both guitars are right handed
Both guitars are played with picks
Both guitars are in music videos
Both guitars are on onlyfans
Great vid. The guitars are so fat and crunchy on the blue album. I think Rivers probably did use Ric's guitars when he went over Jason's parts.
Great vid bro!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘
Love hearing about the background of amazing instruments from bands I LOVE and that were used during LP recordings i love!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Could you do Tom morellos ‘arm the homeless’ guitar? :)
That's coming up.
I love champagne socialists!
Posted it today :)

can u do a slash les paul story please
This is a video I have been waiting for my entire life
Awesome job as usual. You might consider Michael Schenker at some point.
And both guitars were tuned to Eb lol
Yay more Weezer TH-cam content
Just found your channel this morning and man… I love your channel!
Thanks and welcome aboard!
Made the first comment
Thanks for watching!
love your videos keep it up

Rivers didn’t order/build blue. It was the previous guitarists (before brian) custom build and after his departure he just let rivers keep it.
It says here jason cropper's strat was the red one. This cuomocaster is the blue

Funny documentary
Rivers went to my High School in Connecticut
Did you know him?
Something really funny is that when Rivers discusses the original strat now he said a “friend” broke it on stage…. LOL
bro scared the shit out of me. I've never googled something so fast in my life about the governor thing.
Great watch. Subbed and turned on notifications 👍🏻
Awesome thank you!
Please do a John frusciante guitar
Will do
Woah this is crazy, like about 6 hours ago I was googling about Rivers blue strat.
The Google knows all.
His trousers were made from windsocks
heyy you made the video!! Great work as always man!
Much appreciated!
Do Brian Mays guitar history
It's definitely on the list
@@SecretsofRock that would be interesting to watch cuz he made it from scratch!
You should do johnny ramones mosrite
Great idea
CAROLE FEKKIN BASKINE
Wasn't sure if people would catch that one
Can you do a history of billie joes lespaul juniors?
Great idea!
Do these videos are amazing. So funny to
Much appreciated!
Another great vid!
Glad you enjoyed!
Can you please do a Billy Corgan bat Strat episode
In the first one, did he use the 24.75" warmoth neck? I've built two mahagony's with that neck, both standard and cbs in 2004
8:33 what show is this
ive been searching for almost an hour and cant seem to find it. I think it was at the Reading Festival show in 1996 but I only seem to find audios. Im not sure
hello i just found the video.
th-cam.com/video/qCiihrRtSok/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DbrQ4wfjuAZ9zsXo
it's in the minute 47: something
Could you do a video on Johnny Greenwood’s Telecaster?
Great idea!
This account will definitely be big
Wow thanks, I hope so
Do Marc Bolan's les paul. Some most beautiful numbers to ever be written were on that beautiful les paul
I'll put it on the list
Holy fuck my request, ayyyy.
This was great bro 😂 Good work
What about John Frusciantes strat?
This is the greatest video I've ever seen
Wow thanks!
Hahaha Assram! 🤘🤣👽👽👽
I made a copy of this guitar back in 2001 but mine kind of sucks. I always thought Rivers’ was a copy of Kurt Cobain’s guitar of the same color.
=W=
Your content is super cool:)
Thanks!
do kirk hammet
wait no do slash
Great vid
"""""""accident""""""
Billie joe and Floyd
Slashes appetite for destruction les Paul
Hell yeah!
dude no way i took that picture of rivers 0:42 with my iphone lmaoo
this is the content i didn't know i need
You and me both
When you say dogstar are you referring to Keanu Reeves band and their drummer is a holocaust denier????
That never happened, it’s total horse shit.(the fight)
@@kellphil76 what fight?? I'm trying to figure out what the guy in the video is even referencing pertaining to what he said about dogstars drummer assaulting Rivers and saying he's anti Semitic.

These vids are absolute gold
Thanks! I'm just glad other people are interested in this stuff.
That strat was a tribute to Kurt's in utero tour mustangs 4 sure
The blue guitar has the same pickups as Kurt Cobain's Jaguar.
never saw him playing that guitar
Tom delonge strat please
Workin' on it.
It's live on my channel, enjoy.
This is me subscribing before this channel gets massive
What?
Thanks
This isn't remotely in the same geographical area code of coolest guitars, but I'm gonna watch it anyway.
Could do without the puns.
Liddle middle nudds 😿😿😿
