Never in my 50 years of playing have I heard a definition of a fret that lame, and not a single mention of the word "metal". People who don’t play would at least say metal. This guy works for Fender? He has to be a relative of someone higher up in the company.

KimKnows EvenMore First off frets are the metal strips imbedded in the neck at a precise measured location. It has nothing to do with a keyboard at all. It does have to do with the particular note you’re trying to get i.e. you have a fret already in the neck for the C#. The next note you will be in search of is a D. Based on the mathematical calculations you will know where the fret will be placed. The fret is put into the fretboard using the correct caul that corresponds with the radius of the fretboard. This process is repeated until all frets are in. New frets are generally longer than needed on the fretboard so you’ll have to go back around and clip the frets even to the edge of the fretboard. Once this is done you’ll have to perform a fret dressing to make sure the frets are in place and the ends of each fret are going to slice your fingers up as you play. There’s more to this process to complete a fret job but I’m tired and don’t feel much like being a professor on this subject. Find a good repair book (StewMac has an excellent book) to use as a guide. As for the pipe, I enjoy cigars with my beers but I cannot have beer any longer. I’m disabled after being electrocuted 7 years ago and I’m still working on learning how to play guitar again. I’ve played for 50 years but now that doesn’t mean a thing. Good luck with your frets. 🤘

A little help from me to all young strat players: 0:50 if your high e string moves on saddle like this and keep breaking... put a little plastic tube through string all the way down to string ball to cover sharp edges behind saddle. Now your string dont move and your string is up to 7 months with no snap. (You can cut plastic cover tube 1,5 cm long from any soft thin wire... like your old phone charger...) Second spot where your high e string snaps is at tunning peg sharp edge... for that you can wind a few extra layer to tunning peg so your last wind wont lay on any sharp metal but on tight winds of your string.

Tremolo is originally a picking technique (as he says) that can also be electronically mimicked by modulating the volume or loudness. Vibrato is a modulation in pitch. These are two completely different things and Fender has mislabeled them from the get go.

Probably one of the first "tremolo" effects was manufactured in Fender 50's amps. Tremolo is a slow-fast and/or light-strong shift of guitar signal output amplitude. Has nothing to do with flamenco, nor the whammy bar, which impacts on strings' tension. Check out tremolo pedals! These guys should know this, but the expression obviously has gone (un)convenient.

8:08 thanks bud you couldn't explain it any better

The center pickup gets in my way when I pick, but ok for everything else. I'll take a good Ibanez anytime, but if I did get a Fender, I would make a special pick plate, add two humbuckers and change the hardware over to 500K. Single coils are noisy and weak, but I did figure out a way to kill that noise. First make sure the pickup works as desired then tape the sides and stick the top with the 6 holes in putty so no liquid escapes then mix up some poly urethane with hardener or even resin mixed with hardener, but mix it slow with a stick so you don't get a lot of air bubbles and if you're so inclined, place the pickups in a vacuum and that will insure all of the windings will get saturated. Let it sit a day or even two longer than the can says because there's a thick amount. Now you have potted pickups. If you're worried, try it on a cheap copy first, but don't forget the cheap copy has cheap hardware that also makes noise. Rock and Roll.

Nope, if wood didn't matter then acrylic and synthetic materials would be far cheaper to use...fender themselves put out a video some years back talking about wood selection. Extremely hard and dense woods will give the guitar a twangy sound with a lot of sustain. Soft woods would give it a deep bottom ene sound (perfect for metal) but sustain would be very thin. The secret is somewhere in the middle. Which is why Ash and Alder are popular choices. Fender actually uses a machine to check density of each slab. I've always wanted to make a guitar with a dense center section (bridge width) and cap the ends with extremely light wood like a soft white pine. Just as an experiment. Will attempt when other projects are done.

@TheBlightDroid

no. that isn't how a microphone works. a microphone uses pressure variances in the air to vibrate a DIAPHRAGM that then moves a magnet inside a coil, which all converts those vibrations in the air to electromagnetic vibrations, which can then be sent to a speaker. tell me: which part of the pickup is the diaphragm? I don't think the fact that magnets and coils are somehow involved means that they're similar. at that rate, pickups also work similarly to loudspeakers, since spekears also have magnets and coils in their construction. and, the last time I checked, the entire pickup is sealed in wax to prevent any of its parts from moving, in order to PREVENT it from acting like a microphone. but, what do I know? pickups are like microphones, I guess. here I thought pickups generate electromagnetic currents from the vibrations of steel/nickel strings inside an electromagnetic field. whoops. I guess I should go back to school to get my money back.

The point is that they both use magnetic induction to create an alternating current. That's how they're similar.

@modelcitizen1977

But the way they use said current to make sound is very different, and the main reason why "tone wood" in electric guitars is an absolute crock of horseshit. You can make a guitar out of concrete or cardboard and it will sound just like the sweetest ash body you've ever heard. If you want to hear wood, you need an acoustic guitar or a hollowbody.

its the shape man, its the coolest.

I love the stratocaster guitars... No matter what brand is.

If there is that type of inspection, then why do American strats equipped with super high action need setups all the time?

Amen! I've asked this same question to many people and the answer is always the same...they ship em with a higher action so that there is no chance of fret buzz out of a new guitar and any adjustment can introduce it into the playing.

Very astute. :) Most people think of Jimi Hendrix as the ultimate Strat player, but Jimi owned and played many different guitars. Among other things, he owned and played a Danelectro, a black Gibson Les Paul Custom, a white (3-pickup) Gibson SG Custom, at least two Gibson Flying Vs and a Fender Jaguar ─ all next to his Strats, of course. Clapton also played just about everything, from Danelectro over several Gibsons ─ SG, several Les Pauls, ES-335, Firebird ─ to Telecasters and then eventually Stratocasters. SRV on the other hand ONLY ever played Strats ─ with .013 strings, tuned down a half-step. ;)

Have a blonde 74 purchased new . The frets are jumbo with flat tops ? it plays great .

Solid body tone wood. The jangle definitely doesn’t come from the single coil pick ups.

They do. Change the wood to something even denser and the tonality of the string vibration is altered. Put too much paint on it and you affect it in other ways.

I have strat 1968 excellent guitar

I love Fender but a tip of the cap to Hartley Peavey. He said the other makers laughed at him for using cnc, Heck, he was just following rifle mfg like Winchester. This was late '70s T60 era.

Ya’ll forgot to mention the god of guitars - Mark Knopfler

No two guitars are the same.

You didn't mention Doc Kaufman. When Fender started, it was K & F guitars )Kaufman & Fender). Doc was a friend of mine back in the 60's.

The simplicity of the Stratocaster's construction is one of the things that makes it so perfect. The luthiers at Fender are very skilled, I'm not denying that, but the design and process produces (IMHO) a far superior product, feel and sound to the products of competitors who stick to more traditional methods with a mark-up of at least twice of an equivalent Stratocaster.

So machines do most everything. is this why it's so damn expensive?

Brand name. When somebody sees you with a fender they lose their shit. Same as a Rolex. You want to get a well known real good quality guitar to make you more famous. If you wanted pure performance you would get a PRS. but there's a reason people buy apple $2k apple computers, or Nike running shoes or anything ever.

sooo... no mention of SRV? okay...

The didn't cover every Stratocaster player, just the ones who popularized it in the beginning. Eddie Van Halen had a bigger effect on the evolution of the Stratocaster than SRV did, and he wasn't mentioned either. The video is not for fanboys I guess.

I am quite aware of how EVH created his Frankenstrat -- you can read about it in the first chapter of my PhD dissertation if you like. I never said he used Fender bodies. If your mind is big enough, there are "stratocasters" that are not Fender Stratocasters. I stand by the comment that EVH revolutionized the stratocasters potential (for better or worse) by: (1) putting a PAF humbucker in the bridge, (2) giving it a signature paint scheme so that it becomes iconic of the particular guitarist, and (3) later replacing the whammy bar with a Floyd Rose. Please try to dispute those claims. You cannot deny that EVH changed even Fender's concept of the Stratocaster -- by the late 80s they were already making HM Stratocasters and today they make HSS Stratocasters, regardless that he used originally a Charvel body (because they were cheap and available to him before Van Halen went big) and that Kramer took over in the 1980s. Thank you, and you have a nice day now. P. S. I hope that it makes you feel good to call people names, but I suppose that it might be your only mode of communication when in disagreement.
