Concur, I have my dad's 60's Hofner acoustic he bought new as a teen. That thing just oozes musical ideas from the moment you pick it up. Same with his 63' Hofner bass, but he's still too attached to let that one transfer to my home studio and I can't blame him honestly.
The 50s Strat sounds the best to me in terms of balanced "color" and how I think a good Strat should record. To be fair, I play mostly cleaner than most, so my preference runs toward the underwound, and I think your rig excels in that regard. Well done, and enjoy your father's guitar. What a great time to be alive!
To me the 70s strat has that Smashing Pumpkins tone and I love it. I really enjoyed the 60s strat as well and the 50s was good too. They all sound great so you can't really go wrong.
There’s something about the ‘79 into the twin sister that says “push me”. Then with the way you play it with your emotional attachment feeds into the guitar. It’s truly great.
I believe the 79 Strat was the epitome of evolution in Fender guitar technology with the Mirco-tilt adjustment and Bullet truss rod. My dream guitar would be a late 70's maple fretboard white Strat with black pick guard!
I REALLY like the 60's. I've always thought it sounded amazing and looks stunning and now that you've compared them, judging by sound alone, it's my favorite of the 3. It has the right amount of output, dynamic, and bite for my taste.
funny you use the 55 for rock. to me it had a classic warm lush tone tame top end. the 64 was hotter and brighter, 79 more again, both sounded great to me for rockier high presence tones. my favorite tone came from your 55, but with a bat type neck, it would be the greatest challenge for me to play.
You've got most of your name right. I agree on your assessment of the guitars too. They sound very different to each other to me, that tamer lush 55 is the one for me, but that may be in part because I play a G&L with MFDs.
@@Scoots1994 that clean 55 guitar part sounded amazing to me. the open string sound was such a sweet tone. sorry about my name, it was forced on me....
In the clean the 55 and the 64 sounded kind of the same on the first test the 79 sounded better to my ear. Then you started playing and I really wanted your dads guitar to win me over but if I had to play one tomorrow it would be the 55 and that surprised me.
Dad's guitar definitely sound more edgy to my ears, it's awesome, but my favorite it the 55 sunburst, but honestly they are all sweet, how can anyone pick just one.
I remember the old shoot out!!! :) The 64 is a beast!!! Love the 55 with the bare knuckle pickups. And the 79 is amazing as well. Hard to tell which one is the best!!! They all have a little something!!! And by the way, I still enjoy playing Rita!!! She might not be a real Strat but she has her own identity!!!
I just recently bought a 1979 3TSB in pretty clean condition. Sounds and play’s amazing, definitely my main Strat at the moment. I would prefer a 60’s one but my wallet doesn’t match the price tag ^^ Nice vid mate, thanks for doing this!
Bea, is the black strat in this video the same as the '61 reissue video? The one with the Custom Shop Fat 60's pickups? Or this another guitar, because two different years
Loved the BN pickups in the 55, just so much clarity! What are the settings on the SLO crunch channel? And all that delay and verb were in front of the amp ?
One thing that will always be absolutely mental to me is how perfect his playing is in the sense that the strings only move if he moves them. And I mean watch his fretting hand. The strings stay perfectly straight on the board until he adds vibrato. Thank you sir, thank you.
My guitar collection used to consist of nine Strats. To me they were all different. I think I could now spec my ultimate Strat (no commercial one ticks all the boxes) which would be closer to the 50s than any other era. I enjoy my '79 a lot too though. People talk such nonsense about the CBS era guitars. Expensive or cheap, old or new, all guitars have their own thing.
What happened to the josefina's in the 55!?! I know bare knuckle shows you love, but those pickups were really nice. Great collection btw! A family heirloom is always an awesome add. For what it's worth I like the look of the 50's, the 60's was my overall fav, but the 70's sounded the most "alive".
With high gain the ‘64 is the best sounding, overall is my favourite too. ‘55 has a classic low output sound, but imo with josefinas sound better, and the ‘79 is awesome overall, maybe a surprise coz you’re expecting a dog and it excels your expectations. Great playing though
Rabea, Remember the Friedman candy yellow it looked orange it was a Cali shredder? You played it at namm with the SLO? I think you really matched well with it. I wished you had gotten one. You looked like you loved playing it. I still think of it now and then and watch it. Off topic. Sorry.
Hey Rabea the first time i heard you was at few months ago catse im on youtube everyday. Dig your style and love for the instrument, its uniquely epic. I play strat style guitars mostly, i love the video and the siund but you definitely need raise those pickups up some i notice they are almost flush bellow the BBB ig styings i kniw it makes a big difference on all my single coil pickups, it makes them come alive mate! Keep on pucking!
AS A MODERATE TO HEAVY BLUES GUY, I HATTTTTTEEEEEE, ANY HIGH GAIN STUFF, NO OFFENSE TO ALL YOU SHREDDERS!LOL I UNDESTAND THIS CAN SOUND HARSH.....RABEA IS THE ONLY PLAYER, THAT I ENJOY LISTENING TO HIGH GAIN STUFF, ITS NEVER HARSH...RABEA UNDERSTANDS THAT ALL MUSIC MUST BE PLEASING TO THE EARS......AND IF I HAD TO BET IS SUPER CONCIOUS ABOUT MAKING SURE THE HIGH END ESPECIALLY IN CHECK, WHEN HE PLAY.....IM LISTENING WITH HEADPHONES AND THERES NOT ONE BAD HIGH GAIN APPLICATION! AMAZING HOW HE MAKES THE HIGH GAIN STUFF SOUND AS SMOOTH AS LOW GAIN STUFF....ONLY GUY I KNOW THAT IS AS GOOD AT THIS IS GARY CLARK JR.
I’ve always found 70’s strats to be a bit thin and bright for cleans but works so well with gain which I think you seemed to gravitate to naturally! All three are dream guitars, 55 for me.
Love your ideas and videos but the beginning intro tone is Not my cup of tea at all. Lol But I See title of this Video ist about Strats so: naturaly Im interested Well wishings and all the best o
The maple board makes a difference! a lil smoother, less overtones, bass and highs. The 2 with rosewood boards sound very similar to me, all 3 sound Killer!
@@christianboddum8783 yep! My 79 did my shoulder in and the finish was cracking up due to experimental primer from what read. It sounded great through my 68 AC30 TB though … 😈Great vid as ever Rabea
For some reasons the 70's one (which should be tuned in DADGAD...obviously) sounds like a "mature" instrument. Don't know how to explain. I have a Sheraton II from mid 90's, played since day 1 (6th of august 1995 to be accurate): she has a voice.
Real nice playing, Rabea. I felt like the 70 brought something out of you that was the most soulful and the tone just really stood out. something about the vintage always seems to be my favorite in these tests.
54 sounds the best and looks the best, although personally I think the smaller headstock lets it down a bit. Nothing cooler than the lates 60s, 70s big headstocks.
79 sounds bitey! 64 sounds round and fuller 55 sounds more mellow But they're all strats... Sound like strats.. hehehe WHICH IS AMAZING STRAT IS THE BEST AAHHHHHHHHHHH
IMHO, Does the 79 sound as good as the others? No. Would I choose that 79 over the others? YES! There is so much character in that tone. Definitely pushy, and you could definitely say, "Beauty lies in the imperfection" with that strat.
Didn’t realize right away that two were going to be modern Custom Shops. I was going to say if I was offered my choice of a free vintage 50s, 60s or 70s Strat, I would take the 50s so I could sell it and buy the 70s and have a bunch of extra money left, haha. Seriously though, 70s Strats have always been my faves. Fuck the CBS haters.
The '55 reissue was a good bit better than the other two. The '60's reissue sounded like it was light weight alder, which is resonant,but a bit soft,muffled and undefined. The '79 was the opposite end of that, sharper, less full and resonant, but lots of bite (heavy ash). It was the only one with a 7 1/2 radius fretboard (the two reissue's are a 9 1/2 radius I believe) the 7 1/2 radius has a more twangy type attack as you dig in. Again, the '55 is some really nice light to medium weight ash, and the fat maple neck is a plus as well. VERY nice sounding strat, the playing was really connected to that particular guitar as well. I'd say that guitar weighs around 7 to 7.4 lbs ?
You certainly can hear the differences, but I'll tell you something. When I studied jazz guitar at the conservatory of music I used to bring a strat with me. My teacher did as well. Although they were both strats, looking at all the specs, even the details, there was absolutely nothing the same. It was an early seventies vs an early eighties, the seventies one fitted with a Floyd Rose vibrato unit vs a hardtail with die cast saddles, alder vs ash, rosewood vs 1 piece maple neck, locking nut vs plastic (?) nut, seventies standard pu's vs the newer X1 pickup in the bridge position, tilt neck construction vs 4 bolts...., these two strats literally had nothing in common, but one very essential thing. The sound. Both well trained musicians with a good pair of ears. We played through the same amp (not sure, but I think it was a Roland Jazz Chorus 120). We just couldn't tell the difference. Both guitars sounded exactly the same. There's no real point in telling this, but it's just something that always puzzled me. I mean, you can buy two of the exact same guitars and you will almost by definition be able to notice a bit of a difference when it comes to sound. But to have two completely different guitars that sound exactly the same? That's just mind boggling. 😄
My preference was by pickup selector position. For the individual pickup positions I, III, V, I enjoyed the balanced clarity of the 55. For positions II and IV, I would opt for the 64 as the 55 was muddled and anemic sounding. The 79 was excessively bright and harsh relative to the other 2. With EQ one could likely get any strat tone needed with any of the three for a wide range of music genres.
LOL I didn’t realize I clicked on a Rabea video and during the intro I was like good lord this dude can play like an absolute savage…. Then saw the Fro
Just off of the position tests the 50 feels like it has a bigger deeper resonance, the 60 is a bit shinier with a very clean high note and the 70 feels like it is smack dab in the middle. To me that screams 70 is the live show since it can probably do both the 50 and 60 justice just won't be quite as pronounced. Did I hear an Opeth riff on the Twin Sister?
Thanks for this. I've got a few S type guitars, but none of them in a stock fender original configuration. I knew I wanted a 'traditional' instrument but didn't know where to start. This really helped.
Very very interesting. There is some beautiful sparkle in the top end of the 70's, but my prefer sound is from the 60's (more open sound and clarity). Awesome playing as usual, thank you Bea 👍
Having a father's guitar in your collection is always an honor and a joy.
Concur, I have my dad's 60's Hofner acoustic he bought new as a teen. That thing just oozes musical ideas from the moment you pick it up.
Same with his 63' Hofner bass, but he's still too attached to let that one transfer to my home studio and I can't blame him honestly.

This guy is theeee best guitarist out there right now 🎸 🤘🤘🤘
Fell in love with the 70’s when looking at it
Fell even more in love with it listening to it, so much output and versatility
i have the same exact 79’ and am so lost on whether i should sell it and get some reissue or stick with its badass attitude
Those chords on the 55 were heaven, loved them all the finger board on the 79 was a stand out for me as was it's bite from it's pickups.
I REALLY like the 60's. I've always thought it sounded amazing and looks stunning and now that you've compared them, judging by sound alone, it's my favorite of the 3. It has the right amount of output, dynamic, and bite for my taste.
I’m torn between the 60’s and 70’s. They have that nice single coil gain tone I like!
funny you use the 55 for rock. to me it had a classic warm lush tone tame top end. the 64 was hotter and brighter, 79 more again, both sounded great to me for rockier high presence tones. my favorite tone came from your 55, but with a bat type neck, it would be the greatest challenge for me to play.

There's something otherworldly about that '64, man...
Thanks for the videos. Enjoyed this one. What pickups do you have in the 64?
I remember the old shoot out!!! :) The 64 is a beast!!! Love the 55 with the bare knuckle pickups. And the 79 is amazing as well. Hard to tell which one is the best!!! They all have a little something!!! And by the way, I still enjoy playing Rita!!! She might not be a real Strat but she has her own identity!!!
I like the 1970s strats because of Ed King. I read he used a 1973 strat in Lynyrd Skynyrd.Out of my price range though.
Impossible to choose one. Leo Fender nailed perfection with the strat design. Can't be even described with words. And your playing is awesome!
Unbeliveable, your Dads Strat sounds for me best! 79 is normally not the best year for a Strat!? Best regards! Seb
Prefered the look and sounds of the 70s all the way.
I just recently bought a 1979 3TSB in pretty clean condition. Sounds and play’s amazing, definitely my main Strat at the moment. I would prefer a 60’s one but my wallet doesn’t match the price tag ^^ Nice vid mate, thanks for doing this!
Winner of all of them: The SLO.
Bea, is the black strat in this video the same as the '61 reissue video? The one with the Custom Shop Fat 60's pickups? Or this another guitar, because two different years
Sad to hear you no longer have Rita. Great sounding guitar, always loved watching you play it! Thinking of the old musicisum jam...
I'm sure you already now, but the strat your dad gave you has mojo..
Absolutely fuckin magical✨✨✨
Fender messed things up in the late 70's. Love the look of them, but they sound awful.
Loved the BN pickups in the 55, just so much clarity!
What are the settings on the SLO crunch channel? And all that delay and verb were in front of the amp ?
One thing that will always be absolutely mental to me is how perfect his playing is in the sense that the strings only move if he moves them. And I mean watch his fretting hand. The strings stay perfectly straight on the board until he adds vibrato. Thank you sir, thank you.

New Rabea Bareknuckle singelcoil pickups ??? 😀😀 or am I lost ??
If you’ve put Bare Knuckle pickups in your “55”, unless they are vintage voiced its no longer a “55” is it....It’s just a Strat with BK pickups!
The 55 sounds perfect! I want these pickups.
PS: Which wood's on the body of her?
The ‘79 is absolutely fuckin god tier. End of. And it’s your father’s which is the most heart warming of all. It’s killer.

That bridge pickup in the 79 needs to be in the 64. Then that 64 would be the perfect strat
The black one with the small head stock smokes the other guitars by miles. Thanks for the guitar lesson to . Sick channel

Well wishings and all the best o
55 custom shop. However i don't have catchers mitts for hands like you my friend, so i'm not sure the neck would work for me. heheheh
The production values of this video are superb. Keep it up, Rabea/Rabea's editor!
The maple board makes a difference! a lil smoother, less overtones, bass and highs. The 2 with rosewood boards sound very similar to me, all 3 sound Killer!
That first strum of the 55’..no need to continue.
man, your playing and tone through that twin sister is incredible! Like all 3 fiddles through it.
They had unique voices but all sounded great! The 55 was my favorite.
…50’ SLO 13:56 on - took me to a different place…place I LOVE to be✨
I wish you would just jam for like an hour and put it on spotify or something like that. Great playing as always.
Was not expecting to like the 70s the best ...but i did....
I love the 70s big headstock yeah I know 3 bolt neck but still love it.
Second is win for me.👍
I've owned a 79 strat...i sold it back less than a year after getting it, it was very disappointing to say the least, plus heavy as hell for a strat.
79 in general was not a good year for Fender, and yes, a lot of them were too heavy. Lots of them had lacquer problems too.
@@christianboddum8783 yep! My 79 did my shoulder in and the finish was cracking up due to experimental primer from what read. It sounded great through my 68 AC30 TB though … 😈Great vid as ever Rabea
Black custom shop 64' all day for me!!!!!!!
50s, 70, 60s... thought I would prefer the 60 over the 70
79 original for me, not to much bass, good bright tone
was the sound coming from his studio monitors? Thanks
79Have you ever modified a pickup?
I miss my 79 ash body 3 bolt so much, nothing like it.
For some reasons the 70's one (which should be tuned in DADGAD...obviously) sounds like a "mature" instrument. Don't know how to explain. I have a Sheraton II from mid 90's, played since day 1 (6th of august 1995 to be accurate): she has a voice.
The pickups on the dark one are cooking 🍳
Dont mind me just here for the tones and the riffage
Me, too! He’s a master riff-monger, for sure.
J adore ton ta facon de jouer,et pour moi la 70 bien meilleur👍
I like the maple neck one and the one with bigger headstock. They sound the best to me.👍✌️✌️
That 79 is a beast!

Funny, I thought the 70s was quite dark and chewy. The pickups SOUNDED old. Probably just an artifact of how I was listening.
I owned and gigged a 1979 Strat identical to yours for many years! Sold it when I played a Tele more, but have since bought a Squier CV 50s Strat.
When i started guitar 34 years ago my preference was 70's then 60's and actually i play excusively on the 50's
The '55 reissue was a good bit better than the other two. The '60's reissue sounded like it was light weight alder, which is resonant,but a bit soft,muffled and undefined. The '79 was the opposite end of that, sharper, less full and resonant, but lots of bite (heavy ash). It was the only one with a 7 1/2 radius fretboard (the two reissue's are a 9 1/2 radius I believe) the 7 1/2 radius has a more twangy type attack as you dig in.

Although they were both strats, looking at all the specs, even the details, there was absolutely nothing the same.

The sound. Both well trained musicians with a good pair of ears. We played through the same amp (not sure, but I think it was a Roland Jazz Chorus 120). We just couldn't tell the difference.

Just off of the position tests the 50 feels like it has a bigger deeper resonance, the 60 is a bit shinier with a very clean high note and the 70 feels like it is smack dab in the middle. To me that screams 70 is the live show since it can probably do both the 50 and 60 justice just won't be quite as pronounced. Did I hear an Opeth riff on the Twin Sister?
Another awesome video
To my taste, the '64' won in all areas haha. That is a special guitar that clearly has what we all hope to find in a guitar haha
Thanks for this. I've got a few S type guitars, but none of them in a stock fender original configuration. I knew I wanted a 'traditional' instrument but didn't know where to start. This really helped.
That ´55 has the most beautiful knopfler-y cleans, ´64 and ´79 shine in the more bluesy stuff.
79' for me ,all day long....
I really appreciate the top end witch is something I didn't expect.
Cheers and keep on rocking.
I can kind of hear a harmonic resonance in the background at 5:49 for example. Not in a bad way, just interesting.
I came in wanting to like the 60's one but ended up loving the 50's, if we can call it that, I guess I like those bare knuckles
Like them all but I am curious about which one you'd experiment with a 10 way switch on?
String up a length of limp celery and Rabea would make it sound amazing when strummed 🎸
How does the “neck feel” compare? Let us know.
Personally I think a pickup change for the 79 is where you will end up, but all three sound amazing !
Lets face it, I'm gonna click like whatever you churn out, it's always superb.
Very very interesting. There is some beautiful sparkle in the top end of the 70's, but my prefer sound is from the 60's (more open sound and clarity).
Awesome playing as usual, thank you Bea 👍
They are all legendary and sound killer but for me the ‘55 is just it! I’d never want to put it down!
‘55 is the one to my ears. I recently purchased a 1993 MIJ ‘54 Reissue Strat and love it.
Really nice shootout! But if you had to choose ONLY ONE of these, which one would you pick and why is it the '55 one?
I finally got the chance to play a 62, and it was just amazing the sounds that came out of it. Guitar was so sick.
