  Dude.  Two hours of dudes playing beautifully on Strats and talking about Strats is one of the best ways I can think of to spend two hours. ❤Without being able to have one of my Strats in my own hands, of course!!!

  When Jamie played the 56 the contest was over. Pair this with a Marshall stack and you’re good.

  One of my favorite, if not my favorite, guitar-related video of all time… I watch this at least once a month. Too quality instruments being played and discussed by top quality people! Cheers from Texas

  The moment they got the '56 maple neck out, I realised that Fender got it very right in the beginning. That guitar is sublime!!

  Richard is outstanding.  So tasteful and can play anything. Always a joy to hear him play any guitar.

  I'm ADD, but this podcast held my attention. Thank you for, "less showmanship" and for more relevant, content, sticking to the music, playing, giving us genuine sound clips; by demonstrating the different Stratocasters in your own styles. In addition, you gave very insightful comments on the Vintage, CS Re-issues and the modern 70th Anniversary Stratocasters; from the Player to the Ultra Stratocaster. When you brought out the vintage '60s purple sparkle Stratocaster, I was hoping you would also bring out the modern, 70th Anniversary (HSS ) Ultra Stratocaster in the flip, flop Amethyst ,nitro finish. An HSS model, but SSS interchangeable. I own a few vintage Strats, but was uncertain about 70th Anniversary models and, what to use for some light gigging. This podcast has helped me make a decision;  thank you.

  After watching this I came to the same conclusion, the daphne blue '61 and the lake placid '70 were my favorites out the bunch.  That '61 sounded incredible.  I would have liked to see an American Vintage 61 strat in the comparison though, just to see how close it actually comes to that blue strat.  If it's anywhere in the same ball park, I would think that would be a no brainer purchase, but I was surprised how well the Vintera hung in there.  Still had a bit of that body, but much much more articulate.  My thought's anyway.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qebitbBUkRg&amp;t=7243">2:00:43</a> You have no idea how much I appreciate you saying this and not trivializing the finances of the average person. &nbsp;Things are so hard for so many of us right now, on either side of the pond and so many “gear related”channels/videos fail in that respect. &nbsp;❤. I know it’s ok to want the stuff but there seems to be an eternal “money is no object” vibe to so many channels and some of it is frankly a little gross.
