The HSS and HSH Strats should be perfect for Metal.
Oh they are. I dropped a Seymour Duncan black winter in mine, what a nasty beast.
I love its tone! It cuts nicely!
Probably the coolest production Fender I've ever seen.
They've been around for years.
All we need now is a reverse headstock 7 string model
LeanMeanMemeMachine I know I wish
LeanMeanMemeMachine check out Charvel they have new model angel 7 backward oversized fender headstock super strat
Build one!
The passing lane switch sounds like a great idea for pushing yourself forward in the mix for a solo, although it means a need to move your hand around, possibly more than usually depending on your right hand technique. The SI-switch would *probably* see very little action from me, but if you can find some cool tones with it, I'm all for it. It's not like tonal options are bad for anyone, except maybe your wallet.
Those switching options are actually super awesome -- I really like the bypass option. Could allow you to go from a flexible guitar to a pure "metal machine" setup without changing anything.
Ola it's an S1 switch 🙈
This is the most restrained I have seen Ola, but quality content as always. Very informative!
I really tried to up the quality of my videos at this time as you can see in the editing, but I didn't feel that it was me.
@@OlaEnglund I'm not used to this version of Ola, i want the real unadulterated Ola :D
finally a review outside of the typical clean or blues style reviews. I love mine. The shawbucker is particularly impressive.
ola,if you have a chance i would like to see you playing a gibson les paul standard with your tone !
agreed there.
me too
With or without emg pickups ?
+geronimo020280 without..... Haha
+geronimo020280 lp with emg is great but i always want to know what does burstbucker pro sounded like if paired with ola's randall satan
This is really crazy 😳 this in my opinion is your best demo I've seen in a while. I appreciate your demos but your playing the tones and everything is the best friend. Blessings.
HSS strats are underrated for metal.
The way you said your name sounded almost like "Ol' England."
Keep rocking, my friend. You are an inspiration for many.
Isn't it called the S-1?
Man Ola I really love videos like this of you doing demos of guitars other that your solars. I love your solars but I think it would be nice of you made more videos of commonly used guitars.
That clean tone is especially glorious on the neck pickup only.
The shawbuckers are awesome and can do everything with so much clarity, i love mine!
ola. I just built an black Adler body hh strat maple neck with a black winter in the bridge and the sentient in the neck. it's like George lynch style meets modern metal tones. love it. now to talk my wife into letting me buy the Randall Satan
I would love to see you demo some super technical riffs on a Gibson SG.
loving that bridge. so much better looking than the regular stuff. nice guitar
So weird to see Ola talk like this. So mellow...
More metal players should consider go back to classics :)
Necks on Fenders are ridiculously comfortable, at least to my taste.
Edit. Well, Ola said the same thing :) Wrote it before watching to the end.
MrCorvusC ridiculously comfortable x2
yeah specially this one is a compound radius 9,5 to 14..... a dream
Finally a real video that bring a Fender to the limit.
Finally a real heavy sound.
Thanks
I really want one of these elites man, it is exactly what I wanted out of a strat.
Oh God! I want to see an Ibanez AZ2204-ICM review from the hands of this guy.
Gibson Les Paul next. You can't not do it now
NO! Lets do a Gibson Firebird instead.
Firebird needs love!
Andrei x That depends on the configuracion of the LP for example Alex Skolnick used a gibson LP on a live footage 10 years ago.
Several bands use les pauls for different metal genres: Mastodon, High on Fire, Lamb of God, tons of others who don't come to my mind at the moment
Bjorn from In Flames ?
Hi, I'm Ol' England
Fine guitar! And your hair looks particularly smooth and silky today. ;)
I saw Ola Englund playing metal with a strat.. Now I can die in peace..
As always, the best review of this instrument on TH-cam.
It sounds so nice in the mix
I am liking the added features. It's like making a strat sound MORE like a strat while playing metal, as if to shove it in the faces of anyone who disagrees. xD Awesome. :D
wait what!? a fender review without playing a blues pentatonic over and over and over and over again while some 40 yr old man stares at you and smiles.
on the other hand, I bet you a ton of metal kids will cry heresy cause of this. when if you let any of those kids listen to a song recorded with this guitar not one of them could tell it was a strat haha.
keep on doing whatchu doin' gurl!!!
ooof that twang and bite always brings me back!!!
Great video Ola!! We sell tons of these in the US and they are fantastic guitars! Love the new Elite Fenders! Thank you and keep the fun videos coming!!!! Lovin' the reviews
If you could get ahold of one you should take any rickenbocker(no idea if I spelled that right) guitar and make it sound "metal". Also I love the bite that that humbucker had it wasn't terribly bassy like my les Paul's
I am happy I bought this after hearing you play
I love strats \m/
And I already thought that this day will never come. Ola playing on fender:) you mister make my day. Haill Metal \m/
I NEED THIS GUITARR!!!! BUTTT I HAVE NO MONEYSSS
Amazing review, Ola!
I love my Fender! I've owned so many guitars but my Jim Root sig jazz master is the only one I will never sell or trade.
I have this guitar and it has sooo much 'fret buzz' I have to sell it and get one with a flatter fretboard profile. Most Fender players swear by this 'clinging sound' but for me it just sound like fret buzz. Also, the strings just feel so loose on this guitar and I have tried several gauges. But I have to admit the sound of the pickups is amazing, so much tonal variety!
Weirdly, I was expecting the passing lane button to make the tone beefier, but I think I prefer the tone without that button engaged. Just my opinion though.
Looks and sounds like a great guitar. Would definitely consider.
Thanks again Ola, keep the great content coming :-D
love the switching on this, would be interesting to try it on my Ibanez SA and add a push/pull to the tone knob in addition to the one on the Volume.
Damn you sound amazing with that thing... Love it...
SI switch is nice but not liking the passing line button sounds better without.
Neck is a compound radius that's why it feels the way it does.
Olaf, can you play a few FEARED songs with that guitar?
ola
Thank you for being the only guy that has any balls when playing a fender. Can't listen to them other dudes demoing this guitar, they put me to sleep.
This review was VERY helpful Ola, thanks a lot !
Awesome guitar! I'd love one with a black pick guard and rosewood neck :-)
Excellent video Ola, as always. But, I think that the Fender has the same PRS (American) idea, which is fantastic. New tone, versatility but, I prefer PRS Guitars. But, Fender American Elite is not a bad option. Thanks Ola, excellent video.
That thing sounds SHARP!
the neck on this thing is worth the price alone. That being said the Elite's 2 point bridge arm does NOT angle away from the body of the guitar it really gets in the way.
Grym video som vanligt!! Namnet på switchen är S1, inte SI. Det är ju lätt att se fel på det såklart.
The passing Lane button makes it sound a lot more transparent. I guess even with it cranked, you're still going to lose highs in the tone pot. I might consider doing this on one of my guitars.
Ola is awesome. I know the music industry sucks now, but I hope he makes at least some $$$.
This is the holy grail of guitars.
Sounds as good as any of the modern double-cutaways, but still a bit twangy(like it should). My favorite guitar is still the ESP Eclipse
Knowing you like Glenn videos I know where you got the idea. And yeah most guitars can be made to sound nice for metal, you just need a decent humbucker on them.
that whammy bar fail at 1:51 though ahahah
Great demo!
Great review! I feel like I prefer a Modern C or even the slight V to these multi radius necks. Maybe I haven't spent enough time on it. It's a great guitar tho for sure for metal \m/
Awesome! Love Strats!
really good demo but what is that finish in the paint on the neck? 1:38
up
You're amazing.
WOW
+Jesus Miguel what's with the this guy ^
Trent Steel I don't know.
Maybe Treva is jealous
your finger look small when you play this strato mr.ola, but the tones its great
finally fender strat!

99%, "HEY OLA ISN'T IT CALLED the S-1 SWITCH HURR DURR"
What are you doing? Maple fingerboards are not for metal. That vintage-style humbucker is not for metal. Stop destroying my favourite myths.
Black guitar, Black amps, Black fretboard (ebony), black pedals that say "Metal", black inst cables, black picks, black pedalboard, dark venue...
he is ola shut the f**k up😂
actually you are talking about the greatest guitar company that if it wasn't because of it, you do not even have a rock song, so not metal neither! :D
You wrong men...any Wood suitable for metal/ rock.... the guitar tecknology so good right now
this video definitly proofs that you can play extreme metal with a strat! :D
the only 'negative" point of this guitar is that it doesnt suit you (visually) :p
Great video!
wow this an amazing guitar
Man yours sounds amazing mine not so much my bridge came in raised I noticed your is down did you do that yourself?
Leave that poor Fender alone, it did nothing to you!
Don't listen to them that was funny!
Sounds amazing
These a awsome guitars just scored this👍
I don't know what it is Ola, maybe its because I could tottaly see you make the joke, but when you started talking about the neck I almost lost it! I reminded myself I'm an adult and didn't laugh lol
Well, if it has a humbucker in the bridge, it doesn't sound like a strat anymore, right? I mean, what gives the strat it's usual tone are the single coil pickups, and that's what makes it hard to play metal on it: the hum and noise produced by them and their thinner tone, compared to humbucker. Would you try the same test using a guitar with a single coil in the bridge? I think it would make more sense.
it still has 2 single coil pickups
Most strat player use the neck and middle pick up. Very seldom use the single coil bridge pick up. This makes strats more complete
Holy shit Ola you make that strat roar! Ive been looking for a new guitar. Might be the one.What is this guitar tuned to?
So beautiful, I play a strat for metal myself, the odd one out lol
What about a balanced review that covers all of the tonal possibilities rather than just high gain chugging? BTW It’s S1 not SI? I’ve got the SSS model and it’s honestly an amazingly versatile guitar. The S1 switch allows great tonal versatility. The bridge and middle pickups can be combined in series which creates quite a good imitation of a high output humbucker. I’ve compared that setting back to back with the JB humbucker on one of my other S type guitars through a Marshall half stack and it’s really not a million miles away. The single coil pickups sound modern; they handle gain well and are thicker and louder than standard fender single coil pickups but are still glassy and transparent. For clean passages they are amazing. I just couldn’t stop playing clean blues licks; the singing tone on bends is utterly addictive. The bridge pick up can sound a little “ice pick” in the no load position, but with the treble rolled off a much more useable tone is created. If you regularly play hard rock or heavy metal the HSS is probably the better option, but that said, with the S1 switch the SSS model can cover pretty much everything. The tremolo is very stable. I’ve had no issues even dropping it significantly. The built quality is absolutely first class. I own many relatively expensive guitars. They are all very good, great sounding, playable guitars, but none of them apart from my elite Strat and maybe my PRS are close to perfect. Fender have created a guitar that should appeal to a wide range of players playing different genres. The look might not suit thrashers, but hey they can get a Dime Razorback that will soon be worth about $100 when they trade it for the next fad at the Guitar Centre. A Fender Strat is for life; it will remain with you as your taste and needs change and develop. It will cover whatever you need; blues, prog rock, classic rock, heavy metal, fusion even Jazz at a push.
That first riff had a lamb of god vibe. Noice.
ola i would love i f you review some of jason becker merch.. like carvin guitars, or SD perpetual burn pickup...
Nice vibrato!
İ really dig this guitar
BuT dOeS iT DjEnT? 🤘🏼🧐
Why yes, yes it does. *insert ola*
Max Miller yes it does
i must say i love this
Killer! Keep going fender
Does that Fender strat have the Elite sticker on it when you first got it, Ola?
Hey Ola, so I record a lot of heavy metal to country music to funk and R&B... wide spectrum... Will this Strat elite do the trick.. Especially the HSS... I also gig a lot with a cover band so I have to change genres a lot.. . I've been using Ibanez for years and I'm looking for something different now... please let me know.. thank you
Tommy
did you buy the guitar? I have the same problem now as you did
I wasn't expecting that...
So... is this an Elite or Ultra stratocaster? They literally do the exact same thing except the lane switch
Strat is great metal axe!
this beautifull fender legend in the hand of this metal dude is heresie!
What is the title of the song Ola plays starting at 1:17 ?
up
I know that comment have 2 years but, i think he played some improvisation on a backing track
What could you say to the "Fender USA Pro Line", which a cheaper Fender line is? They usually cost 900-1200 €.
best guitar ever
S1🤘🏼 not SI
Strange Things chapter? haha Ola with strat's????
Is there anything this guy can't turn into sounding metal?
