next artist signature should be John Frusciante 1962 strat.
fingers crossed! we need it!!!
I think this is too close to John’s guitar for them to make that happen. 😕
I’ve made a few strats and one tele with thin nitro finishes, that will naturally wear with use. 2 coats of color and 1 heavy coat of clear. The wear becomes unique and personal.
dope!
Mike deserves signature since 1991
Yeah, 1991 was the last time PJ put out anything great.
Naahh. All their albums are great . You just chose to let the kid in you die.
I played a 62 Strat, didn’t want to bust it or stolen on tour, I bought a 62 Repro MexiStrat, I love Mexi 62’s, not whole lot different honestly
Awesome guitar. Greetings from Montreal!
love the video - great work 🙂
thank you so much Paul!
A New Road warn Mexican Strat is 1350 with a gig bag and 7 1/4 radius this guitar hardshell case 9 1/2 radius not a bad price also looks like it has American hardware thinking of ordering one. I’m thinking they’re gonna sell out.
loved everything about this guitar, wish you said what amp\ pedals were used in demo.
fair! it's the guitar into a Fender '64 Princeton Reissue being pushed by a JHS Angry Charlie! thanks for watching

"Fender still has the new and shiny Vintera (mexican?) guitars, if you want to buy one thats nitro-finish...."
All "Vintera" Mexican guitars that landed in Australia, are, gloss polyester.
What do you think about the quality of the pick ups? And quality of the fret work So far I am pretty impressed with the rosewood neck. Looks like American vintage trem and bone nut. Hard shell case I think it would be a fun guitar to have in the collection
We dug the pickups, and the frets felt nice out of the box. It does indeed come with a vintage-style hard case!
Do/ when ' are they going to release the ' Shelby Robinson tele?
I love this John Frusciante replica...
lololol
When do you think they will be shipping these fender guitars., I see some web sites say August or September 2024 I wonder how many are being made every. Day
Love relic guitars.
I think the usual Vintera series has a poly finish. Only the vintera road worns have nitro....
Yup
Finally a artist guitar that is worth buying besides the Chris Cornell gretch that was released but it was not heavily aimed as a Cornell signature. In all reality though huge Pearl jam head seen him 28 times live and have to say that nothing is like seeing them front stage and center at Wrigley Field and or soldier Field back in '95
damn those shows were probably awesooooooome
@@themusiczoo amazing I have a question do you know when you'll have some more of those in stock is it going to be months you know or what's the word on the street I know Fender is like way behind on everything and including craftsmanship but you know
Dead wood breathes. What a concept.
The guy in the GEL T-shirt looks like the Redlight Blue guy. Am I right? Is it him with short hair?
lol its not but i can see it!
Very interesting. Can you confirm something: the road worn finish appears to retain the shiny paint finish (as vintage guitars do) as opposed to the standard Mexican road worn finish that is matte and therefore looks wrong.
Is that correct? The areas where paint is still in the body is shiny?
yes- the paint left on the body has a little bit of shine to it, however not a lot!
It's matte. Saw one today.
@@Echoes- ah nuts
@@Echoes- how was the relic finish , was realistic or phoney as all hell like the Joe Strummer ?
@@benallmark9671 Much better than Joe Strummer, but it still feels and looks like the sunbust finish is just a sticker even if it isn't. It also appears that the raw wood is coated with something so I guess it will never become dirty/stained, it's probably a poly coat of some sort, because it reminds me of how the wood looks on a regular poly Strat if you strip the color off. The Charvel Henrik Danhage Signature that is probably made in the same line as these have a better stencil job and doesn't have the same coating on the raw wood for whatever reason.
We can read the specs online. Please demo the damn thing!
Looks like fender found a way to unload rad wor custom shop bodies . Win win
I don’t see em on your website…
our first one or two were sold immediately. please contact us sales@themusiczoo.com if you'd like an ETA on the next batch!
They can’t say Mexico they make Ensenada sound like it’s in Northern California
They said "Mexico facility at Ensenada". Most the US Fenders are made by Mexican workers at the US factory anyway! And the factories are super close by the border
Is it Indian or Brazillian Rosewood?
If only this was done as an American Signature guitar for $2,500 range and better build quality and better relic job.
The only good relic job to come out of Mexico factory was Kurt Cobain road worn jaguar. Very authentic and well executed. Custom shop level relic. Fender obviously realized that it was too expensive to continue that and decided to go with a spray/relic template to make the process quicker and “cheaper”. For this Mike Mcready guitar and the Joe Strummer relic Tele it is not authentic at all. Terrible execution, terrible process, just bad. Embarrassing actually.
@@sonicd57 I think this relic job look much nicer than the Strummer Tele. It may not have custom shop quality but i don´t think it is that bad.
@@thoblette I have the strummer. Waisted money. Had to put vintage pups in.
The body has black binding glued on. Shit made.
If only this had a 7.25” radius board….
ngl kinda agree with you there
Next Mexican guitar should be the Gallagher Strat ❤❤❤
I’d love to see a shootout of this vs the custom shop. Not
to prove anything, just for sh*ts and giggles
if we had one we would! good idea!
I could buy a custom built strat style guitar from a builder in Holland for a similar price.
Ok. Cool story.
@@QS-si3cq Facts
I got the Jimmy Page MIM. It played like a dog. The neck was awful. I hope this is better.
WTF he tattooed 59 on his wrist thinking its a Buddy Holly.
I'd love to buy one of these, but I notice in the official stills that are on retailers web sites that the top E string is perilously close to the edge of the fingerboard, and would easily slide off during playing. I asked a retailer here in the UK to send me photos of the one they actually have in stock, and sure enough, that one has a wrongly spaced top E, less than a millimetre in from the edge of the fretboard. Not good. I recently bought a Mex Nashville Tele and it had the same issue, so I sent it back. I won't be investing. Shame, I liked the vibe of this model.
to pricey for a made in Mexico strat.
*too. Learn basic Englissh.
3 3:27. It’s ok. Continue to delude yourself. 😂 Orange Stinker is just as good as rosewood. (I’m not really being mean. It’s a joke. Mostly.)
They really missed the mark on the relic job, no matter what you guys say in order to sell more guitars. These are, far and away, below the quality of the Road Worn Cobain Jaguar. I own both, and side by side, the McCready job is hot garbage by comparison. But, they couldn't do it too good, or else they would have upset all the people that bought the first 60 at $15k per two years ago. Sad, because it wouldn't have taken any more labor to get it right...just do it right the first time, and not at $15k. For $1900 though? It's going back.
Vous pensez vraiment ce que vous dites ? Une poubelle ? ..a garbage ?
🥱
Great guitar, just to bad it looks like an overwhelmingly fake paint & Relic job. Fantastic concept though, just poor execution.
Reminds me of the same way they did the Clash tele, I got hands on with it finally the other day and it does a terrible job of recreating the relic on the original
fair - we think it's a very good relic job for a production MIM guitar, but we hear you. we're excited to see what happens to them after they're heavily played for a few years!

@@aideniscommittingstairwaythe strummer tele looks like a toy, an utter joke. I wonder if this one is better
REAL FANS WOULD TRADE 2-3 VINTAGE/CUSTOMSHOP TO GET THE MASTERBUILT. THIS 2200$ P.O.S IS ROADKILL. I GOT A RITCHIE BLACKMORE IN 2009. SAME SPECS FOR 950
