Guys this is 18:57 of pure joy thank you very much. I think your choice of of neck pickups and colours is spot on. The faded fiesta red journey man relic was one of my faves
Seriously every one of them. I think he gets off on the sound clanging his ring on the back of the neck. I don't care if it's relic they don't put dings on the neck but his rings do!
My Ring Hits Every One Of My 11 Vintage Fender Strat's/Telicaster's Back & Front When I Play'em Over 33 Year's NEVER Caused a Problem Relic or Not? No Big Deal for Some? 🙄
I've been looking for one myself... I'm a lefty and bought a regular fender hard shell case but didnt know they made lefty cases thought it was fit but sadly it doesn't so now I'm trying to sell it. Its brand new with the tags and everything on it still just looking to eithee trade it for a tweed custom shop case or sell it.
I would love to have any one of those beauties! The '59 with the John Cruz pups was incredible, but there's just something I love about the ones with the aged tortoise shell pickgaurds and cream knobs/covers. Such a sweet look! Just bought a vintage Japanese electric I'm restoring. Has the tortoise shell. I guess it got me hooked on them!👍😎🎸🎶

Are those leather folders specific to the UK? My custom shop tele didn’t come with that... or a case with a big custom shop logo in it. Just a vintage looking G&G case.
There’s something bout heavy relics that looks unrealistic to me. Some vintage ones yellow over time like an Olympic white one I saw, it’s was yellow like a lemon and it never had a refin or anything like that. And what about that almost satin look when the finish sinks into the wood or the orange tint on the headstock caused by the UV exposure. My point is that they should figure out some way to make a real old look to a guitar if the heavy relic thing makes the cost up on a guitar.
Spending extra money for relic or heavy relic is dumb AF... I'll take a brand new strat nd have it get beat up over time. Or just buy a real vintage strat... Sadly I'm lefty so its almost impossible for me to find a strat I like.
Literally all these guitars I am drooling over except the ones with the tortoise shell guards and that green sparkle one... :P Love relics and if I could afford a custom shop I would want it "journeymanned." Those sunburst strats are SEX!
Many people don't get that good playing and sound come out of your fingers not the price you pay for a luxury guitar. But damn...those guitars are so fascinating. if I had enough money, I will definitely buy those guitars LOL
In the 50’s Fender send the guitars with 12 to 56 gauge flat wound strings from the factory. That’s why the big necks and 5 springs. Everything was done for a purpose. Unlike today. The gimmicky years
Every one. It's hilarious, he comments on it then continues to bash his ring on the neck of every guitar? Why would anyone pay 4k for guitars this guy drools all over!
They look like standard strats probably been made a bit better but not worth the money the name on the says it all and custon shop played many strats over the years nice but for me none come close to blade rh2 or rh4 guitars
Relic looking guitars r literally called posers in any other hobby 😂... That's like a skater getting a brand new board going outside and sliding the board on the curb to make it look like the boardslide nose slide and tail slide that's stupid. U can like relics all u want but its still dumb and a waste of money. Just get a new guitar and make ur own relic over time.
@@subzero308 That might be the case if you think that relic guitars are only about looks, but they're not. To me and a lot of players, they feel more comfortable to play. There's less sticky finish on the back of the neck and along the areas you commonly come in contact with the guitar to help facilitate smooth movement across the guitar. Also lots of pros that use relic guitars play them because they're used to their actual vintage instruments that are far too valuable to take on tour where they can get stolen or destroyed. The real selling point of relic guitars to me is the feel. You're entitled to your opinion about them being for 'posers' but a LOT of professional guitarists play them all the time. It just gets really annoying that once anyone mentions the word "relic" on a guitar video, the entire comment section gets flooded with closed-minded boomers shitting on them. Different strokes for different folks. I don't go to their youtube and shit all over their taste in music or whatever. It's a really stupid thing to debate.
You mentioned in the video that you get asked why people would buy a relic model rather that a new model but you didn't give the answer. I for one don't understand why anyone would spend that amount money on a relic guitar.
Hi Oliver, thanks for your comment! We recently put out a video discussing and comparing Relics vs NOS finishes, you can check it out here - th-cam.com/video/4dTFGOaEpbI/w-d-xo.html
That’s a lot of guys having GAS at the same time. Pee you. Nice guitars of course but the prices are not musician prices, they are “wanted-to-be-a-musician-but-became-a-lawyer” prices.
The people buying "relic" guitars buys them for the same principle as of those buying fucked up Diesel jeans... they want to look cool, they spend tons and finish looking dumb
No sure i agree. The advantage of a relic guitar is 1. that you don't have to worry about getting them scratched so you feel at ease playing and carrying them around, 2. They feel nicer cause all the varnish has been scraped off the neck so it plays great and 3. They retain their value better, cause if you scratch a normal guitar it devalues it but not so with a relic one. Having said that i couldn't afford one 😂
Very nice but not worth the price. I would hire a luthier to build me a guitar first before I shell out thousands of dollars. And get everything you want with a way better build. These are for the, I want it now people.
people who buy scratched up smashed guitars would they buy cars that were pre beaten up as well.... Would you buy a new lamborghini that looks like it was parked in front of the shopping cart return at the supermarket for 6 months... Asking for a friend who's trying to understand people who buy fake damage guitars
Where's the armed guards. Imagine convincing people it's worth paying more for damaged new instruments. Yes you're going to hear in in your video comments. It's bloody stupid. No limit of stupid people for you to make cash in on. Can just imagine the guys at Fender out the back belting them with screwdrivers laughing, he he he they pay extra for this. All damaged guitars in perfect new cases....... Hey guys careful handling those, oh wait bang crash thump. All good, no one will notice.
Lefty's get fucked when it comes to guitars smh... Fender outta all companies should be all about lefty guitarist... Hell without Hendrix, fender strats would be nowhere near as popular.
Crawling into bed with Fender is a HUGE mistake, but you won't know it until the day they simply cut you off with no warning. I, along with about 25 other small luthiers, can sell you a better strat for less. and still use Fenders parts.
That first surf green with the red tortoise shell pickguard is gorgeous
Beautiful guitars, love the ones with the tortoise shell pickguard’s!
SuperParve you think like I do! The tortoise shell with the cream knobs and pickup covers...awesome look!😎
Srv i think
Guys this is 18:57 of pure joy thank you very much. I think your choice of of neck pickups and colours is spot on. The faded fiesta red journey man relic was one of my faves
Damn, waiting for some fresh NOS to come into the UK. 18 Strats and only one NOS!
I've been going back watching all these videos. Thanks for the content!
Glad you like them!
Aged fiesta red strats are just amazing
That sound of his ring hitting those new guitars...
Seriously every one of them. I think he gets off on the sound clanging his ring on the back of the neck. I don't care if it's relic they don't put dings on the neck but his rings do!

With all the fake damage guitars how do you know
Can't be any worse than the dudes at Fender hitting new guitars with a sander.
How good can a Wednesday morning be when lots of Customshop Strats are unboxed! Magic dreams. 👌🏻
Proud owner of a fender custom shop case took years to find one got it for 243 USD can't wait
I've been looking for one myself... I'm a lefty and bought a regular fender hard shell case but didnt know they made lefty cases thought it was fit but sadly it doesn't so now I'm trying to sell it.

The Japanse Stratocasters (Vintage '62s) are super.
Jamie Oliver had some beautiful guitars
Cruz is laughing all the way to the Bank.
Super faded fiesta red for the win. That would be choice of the lot.
I bought your last heavy aged, Olympic white and it's awesome.
Some lovely guitars, some even better dance moves.
fiesta red, tortoise shell, clay dots, spaghetti logo for me

You guys have the best job in the world.
Wish you had more Basses..
Loved the faded sonic blue one 👍🏻
Are those leather folders specific to the UK? My custom shop tele didn’t come with that... or a case with a big custom shop logo in it. Just a vintage looking G&G case.
Love unboxing videos! Kid in a candy store!
I like the journeyman relic, you get a guitar that already has a little wear so you’ll cry less when you scratch it with your belt.
There’s something bout heavy relics that looks unrealistic to me.
Some vintage ones yellow over time like an Olympic white one I saw, it’s was yellow like a lemon and it never had a refin or anything like that. And what about that almost satin look when the finish sinks into the wood or the orange tint on the headstock caused by the UV exposure.

well I totally dig them
Spending extra money for relic or heavy relic is dumb AF... I'll take a brand new strat nd have it get beat up over time. Or just buy a real vintage strat... Sadly I'm lefty so its almost impossible for me to find a strat I like.
They all look amazing, well chosen guys
Are these all custom shop team built, no masterbuilt ones?. Absolutely in love with the last one, how much for that one. Great video as always John 🎸👌
A lot of beauties... Congrats.
9:09 don’t worry John. I was still watching. Hola from Fuerteventura! That 62 strat relic at 12:20 looks awesome 😎
Love these unboxing videos
All looking good!!
Literally all these guitars I am drooling over except the ones with the tortoise shell guards and that green sparkle one... :P
Love relics and if I could afford a custom shop I would want it "journeymanned." Those sunburst strats are SEX!
I would go for the second surf green journeyman strat
We want to see these video everyday !#fendercustomshop !!thanks peach guitars
nice haul mates ... but not one Burgundy Mist ?? :( .....
you can practically hear the jeans being creamed each time they opened one of the cases
Does anybody knows the set up of this guitars that come from the custom shop? Action relief bridge height??
Cool guitars..custom shop keep getting better...journeyman finishes look most realistic...I have a 1960 and a 1962 ;)
All fantastic guitars, can’t afford any of it, but fantastic none the less...
WOW!!! Love FCS!!! Cheers guys
Love those Stratocaster sans the 'skunk stripes'.
lovely boxes
I missed it.was there a black one in that bunch?
Wow beautiful all ....thank you
hiya just to let you know that I love Fender custom shop strats although I don't own one
We like hearing the neck profiles lol please
Many people don't get that good playing and sound come out of your fingers not the price you pay for a luxury guitar. But damn...those guitars are so fascinating. if I had enough money, I will definitely buy those guitars LOL
I love this Channel
How much for the strats?Are they more than $250 dollars.
Brilliant !
In the 50’s Fender send the guitars with 12 to 56 gauge flat wound strings from the factory. That’s why the big necks and 5 springs. Everything was done for a purpose. Unlike today. The gimmicky years
Is it masterbuilt? Or custom built?
Where are the relic cases?
Now I want a custom shop strat, damn you
How do you clean a relic guitar?
😍 oh my what a stack of lovelyness
Green one for me please!!!!! Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful 😎
Runs rings across every new guitars neck... ????? "KKLLLLLAAAACK"
Every one. It's hilarious, he comments on it then continues to bash his ring on the neck of every guitar? Why would anyone pay 4k for guitars this guy drools all over!
That's what I call a dream job.
Wish i had one.
That is just heaven....can I have a job in your shop please...i wouldn't go home honest
8:05 what guitar is? Ty
They are all the same guitar with different colour.
FUCK IT, IM GETTING ONE NEXT YEAR!
No lefties again Jon! Whats going on man?
xetexuk12 we’ve got plenty of lefties!
Imagine all those being shipped to my house...
What I would give to have 18 fender custom strats.
You’re looking at about $85,000 (U.S. $) worth of guitars...
Actually they worth 1800$ but they have higher price tag.
$10000 of that is fake damage as well..... Would you pay more for a damaged guitar.
Extremely over priced guitars.
Coronavirus what? Give me unboxing guitars any day...
This is what Heaven is like.
59 surf green all day.
I guess the consensus is that a 60s "thin c" is not available at this shop... lol... ever...
One more time
Relic...I don't get it. The journey man is the only one I'd look at
Who is this guy Tom Atillo he keeps mentioning.....? Hahaha
62 ‘burst for me, all are bee-yoo-ti-ful
They look like standard strats probably been made a bit better but not worth the money the name on the says it all and custon shop played many strats over the years nice but for me none come close to blade rh2 or rh4 guitars
I need a cigarette after watching that !!!
I think im responsible for a good chunk of the views on this
Relic haters - we like the way that they look and feel so get over it
We dont like it.Get over it.

Who would thumbs down this? What a f'n pud lol.
We know who exactly who it was! We have the technology!
Peach Guitars lol.
Guitar Porn ! Amazing
Drool
I'm surprised Josefina's hands still work after 'handwinding' all those pickups.
Cracks me up. All these youngster getting "reliced" guitars like they earned their stripes...

semiLivedj FICTION that old chestnut..
I can't quite get into the artificially aged look. In skateboarding that is called a poser.

A 3600 euro guitar 'taking a wanky journey'...reassuring :-)
*Wonky
:-)
Aaaand not a single left handed guitar. The industry is really taking the piss out of us.
Lefty's get fucked when it comes to guitars smh... Fender outta all companies should be all about lefty guitarist... Hell without Hendrix, fender strats would be nowhere near as popular.
Crawling into bed with Fender is a HUGE mistake, but you won't know it until the day they simply cut you off with no warning.
