Noticed thin necks are consistent. Used to have to search now most are

Fender Japan guitars have always been great. I currently own 2 Fender Japan Telecasters and have previously owned a Fender Japan Strat. You can’t go wrong with them….they easily match USA Fenders. I own a Fender USA Vintage series Strat and it’s no better than any Fender Japan Strat I’ve owned or played.

If you like more quack, after you set the neck and bridge, you set the middle pickup . Usually lower than the other two will get you max quack.

Prakash John - first heard him live in 1972 in Edmonton, Alberta Canada with Domenic Troiano - been a fan ever since

Too much talk

Well.. it depends on what you call shredding..

why mine is on the same pitch of harmonic, open and pressed 12 fret but still when when you do full bend its flat instead of getting the wholestep note?

So if I play bass i shouldn’t worry as much?

Thanks for the video. I bought the Tele… 🎉🎉🎉🎉

That's a 7.250 inch RADIUS(half the diameter of a circle)..... If you draw that circle it's a 14.50 inch circle.

I wrote to Fender for the height specs for my Squire Bullet, (pickup style HSS) and I provided the serial number. According to Fender, the bass string height above the magnets should be 7/64-8/64" (2.75mm-3.15mm), and the treble string height should be 5/64-6/64" (1.95mm-2.4mm). Squire Bullet models are made in several countries, and there may be some variances in their tolerances. I suggest that anyone wanting to adjust their string height of ANY Fender to query Fender with their serial number.

what to do if the saddle already hits the saddle and still it's not intonated? put a shim at the heel to increase string length?

Great video Lucas! I have a problem. I love my Strat MIM standard HSS, but it feels stiff and bending requires some effort. The guitar has a 9.5" radius, neck "C" shape, and 0.09 strings. I took the guitar to some luthiers and they leveled the frets, changed the tunners, pickups, bridge etc (they did the complete setup), and it feels still stiff. What can I do? I played others strats with the same radius and they felt like butter. I have other guitars, but this is my favorite. I'm thinking about to replace the neck and the body for a warmoth 9.5" radius neck and for a body with high quality woods. What do you think? could this resolve my problem?

All the morons that think you can't bend with a 7.25" radius out there need to look at Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour.

Great! What the string height at 12 fret?

Hola Lucas. Soy Hugo desde Argentina. Muchas gracias por este video y por la información. Te mando un saludo muy grande.!!!!

When they are getting close to where they should be, an ⅛ of a screw turn will make a difference.

Here is a real review ! and in my opinion, all guitar testers on UA-cam should do the same thing as you, which is to talk about quality of the fretting, string height, defects (like fret buzz), and the neck in general, rather than just showing themselves playing.

How about bending on the 1st string, for example on the 15th fret? On my 9.5'' USA Pro II, anything under the recommended factory specs chokes out... and it not as nearly as low as yours. Frets are perfect, relief, everything...

Years later, still helping. Thank you.

Amigo, como lograse esa acción tan baja en el neck? Yo tengo una stratocaster con ese radio 7.25" y la acción está super alta y aun asi no puedo hacer bends porq no se escuchan, HEEEELP😢

The guitar at the end is definitely a Contemporary Stratocaster. I have a black one with a rosewood fretboard. It’s from ‘86. It may well be my favorite guitar. It’s certainly the one I tend to reach for.

thanks for advice, Jesus Christ is coming back soon!

Good licks. Tasty! (That’s how to get the best sound out of a Strat;)

Did you ever get the Big Dippers installed? I didn't see a video with the tone samples

Thank you so much for this review, Lucas.

I taught him everything he knows! 🤪

Ah.. The frets aren't stainless steel then. No stainless would come off on your fingers. The Chinese invariably get specs wrong - Phil McKnight did a video on this.

Damn...just discovered your channel..... You're a damn good player! Subscribed

No. Canadians are going to abandon Fender and Gibson rediculous prices. I dont care what anyone says. You can buy a fairly decent chinese, or Indonesia guitar made at the same factories the big brands are made, throw a few hundred in uprages and have a beast of a guitar.

I have a 94/95 Telecaster Std, built by Fujigen. It's a top loader, and is fitted with Gotoh tuners and saddles as standard. The neck is amazing.

Really interesting and helpful ! Thank you for sharing !

Hello maybe a dumb question, but I was just changing my pickgaurd and after putting the pickups back their all kinda loose and some are pointing towards the bottom and some towards the top. The bobbins are still on the screws so not really sure what’s going on

I have a candy apple red strat MIJ 2005, a serial number check found it was made at the Fujigen factory. Beautiful workmanship 60's reissue, I adore this Strat. So if you're not sure about MIJ Fenders, just do it, you will not be disappointed, and you'll own a guitar you will cherrish.

They are truly awesome guitars 👍🎸 I've never owned a bad one!

I have a Japanese Fender Strat squier series built 1996, it's a great guitar. It has a Fender logo on the Machine head and a tiny round decal that reads squier series.

Great video! I love Japanese guitars 😀

Hi

These do sound great, confirmed.

Found you from the post about Japanese fenders. I love them absolutely love them

Have you measured the radius? usually when guitars are refreted and have fingerboard leveled they go up in radius because luthiers usually sand more in the middle and try to avoid edges. This is how m,ost famous guitar players moved to 9.5-12 (EC, YM, EJ, ...) Chances are that's a 9-10" being that old.

great playing , hey what is it about guitarists and musicians in general ? . I have found myself in a situation that I now have a teal stripe Bandit , a little 15 watt Blazer ( with reverb tank !) a valve king 50 and as of today an Envoy transtube . Why ? cos nothing is as much value as a Peavey....

what frets installed on this guitar?

Great close ups!

Wow, great playing!

Thanks for the nut-binding tip - here's one of mine in return: If for some reason you don't want to get a product like the nut sauce, or if you need to fix string binding *right now* & don't want to wait until you can aquire the product, apply a bit of graphite from a regular pencil. So basically, take a sharp pencil & "draw" inside the sting slots a litte 😊
