Thanks! Amp choices…there are so many. I had a Mesa/Boogie Lone Star Special for a long time and loved that sound. I have a mid-sized Roland Jazz Chorus that gets a good clean tone and takes pedals well. You could try a Milkman amp…those look cool. So many choices. Lots of less expensive options out there, too. 🎸😎👍
Hi gh, I’m happy as can be with my purchase. I bought from Wildwood Guitars in Colorado. I requested specific strings (.008s, I think) and Wildwood set it up for me. I wouldn’t necessarily expect a good setup from any factory these days. My Jeff Beck Strat here is excellent. All quality parts. Sounds great. The neck pickup is my favorite. Cheers, Lance 🎸😎👍
Thanks, William. That’s an Orange Micro Terror amp. I might’ve had a distortion pedal in the mix some of the time. I’m thrilled as can be with the Jeff Beck Strat. I would buy it again and I would buy it from Wildwood Guitars again. It’s not fancy it’s just a Strat that has been well made and cared for. I can’t imagine ever finding or wanting a better Strat. Rock on! 🎸👍
Thanks, Jag. Yeah, so far so good for staying in tune. It’s setup to float a little more than I'm used to. I love Strat's and this one is as good as I need one to be. It's not especially fancy but everything on it is high quality and things seem to be in their right place.You gonna get one? 🎸😎
Cool, Jag. I've had a few Made In Mexico Strats over the years and they were rock solid. This Jeff Beck Strat has even better components and should last me for 50 years. 🎸👍
1. Did JB play an OLYMPIC WHITE STRAT in his last gig 11/12/22 @ the Grand Sierra? 2. Did JB ever used a SURF GREEN STRAT in his live performances? Thanks for your answers. JB LEGEND
2. Yes. During part of the 90’s, early 2000 he used a surf green strat. Search here in TH-cam videos with his band with Jeniffer Batten as second guitarist. Also, in the long tours co-billed with the Santana Band and SRV.
Hi Melody, I love how these pickups sound. There’s a fair amount of variety from position to position. All 5 positions are useful. I recorded a bunch of guitar tracks with this Strat in December and January-it sounds fantastic. 🎸😎👍
Got mine in 2007. still mint except for fret wear (quite a bit). Hope you enjoy it as much as I still do. RIP Jeff You are the GREATEST! 😢
They nailed the Jeff Beck Strat. Glad to hear you love yours. So sad to see him pass. 🎸
A very good review of a very good guitar! But I have no clue what amp to choose to it... Any ideas maybe... Thanx! :)

@@thesunshinemanmusic Thanx for the advice, rock on! 🙂🙃🙂
Sure thing! 🎸😎👍
Wow... i am really temped. This is amazing for price too. Currently $2099. My concern is setup. What did you think of the factory setup?

nice tone, what amp are you playing through? Really thinking hard about getting one of these.

Great demo! Does it stay in tune, even with whammy use?

@@thesunshinemanmusic Good stuff, I'm hoping to get one!

Do you miss regular single coils or are you satisfied with the noiseless ones?

Very very nice
Thanks, Mystery School! Are you thinking about getting one or do you already have one? 🎸👍
Need to show all the nuances of the unboxing
Whats the retail Price?
And how much do you think a second hand one could cost?
Why you playing Jeff Becks strat like Django
