I use other reviewers vids & then critique from them __ If a pedal appears killer I buy one __ I try it out & update the Post__ If the pedal is SH@T I literally say so!__ I publish the street price a no brainer but few do. __ I save you time finding the best pedals & you get a second opinion. __OVER A MILLION VISTORS__
NO ONE OWNS ME___ I MAKE ZERO $ FROM THIS
Fender is an astonishing company. For decades they seem to sell thousands of homoemopathic variations of the same Stratocaster guitar. I see literally zero innovation - but maybe the design is already perfect and I just don't get it.
Instruments have come and gone over the last 600 years. Some stayed but only after settling on one basic form. Perhaps the electric guitar has morphed into the basic shape of the Strat. It like many instruments for centuries was made by and favored by amateurs. There has always been a 'folk' music which is simply the music of every everyday ordinary people dancing, entertainment or to accompany story telling. As such the electric guitar has been that for 75 years. It is unlikely to carry on doing so. I expect something else will replace it. When that happens most of these guitars will quickly dwindle and disappear and eventually only one basic shape will survive. Only about 100 years ago you could readily find brass, woodwinds and reed instruments in every music shop. All that quicky died in the 50's and 20 years later it represent tiny fraction of instruments made. That is overdue to happen again. but this time with the electric guitar.
Wonder what this does to the “Player” and “Vintera” series. Ive owned a couple players series now and have no problem saying I believe they’re the equivalent to the American standard of late 80 and early 90s. I still prefer 6 point trem though lol.
Will be liked by the people that hate that black truss rod hole, now on the Player II ugly painted.
There's no difference between a MIM and MIA in major aspects, especially when you familiar with Fender and their "methods" producing these products. It's absolut not worth to spend more money on the MIAs. I ordered and viewed the last year so many Teles and Strats and know their business. The only thing you have to have when buying a guitar, Gibson, Fender, Squier, is luck. Squier Indonesia ist mostly fine to great, but lacks some quality problems and poor freet wear. MIA and MIM are the same. And they're built by the same workes or will say Mexicans.The two factorys are side by side ...
These new MII Fenders could be better than any Americans. I lastly got and see many Squier Kitty Strats MIC with a suberb quality, ok, the price tag was in the upper region. But the most MIAs and MIMs can't compete with this build quality.
I also had some Fender Custom amps, well, made in Corona, they all sucked! And all the other amps are ratteling the hell out of it or have design and even solder issues. It's Fender.
Did you know that the American shop that does nothing but make the basic wood bodies makes ALL the MIM bodies too. It is cheaper to have just the one shop with dozens of high end CNC machines spitting out a guitar evet 5 minutes. Fender started a plan about 10 years ago to faze in improved MIM so they could eventually close the MIA Fenders and only have the Custom Shop in America. The idea was at some point slowly over time change MIA so they could say no one was buying MIA so they had to close as they wanted to limit the bad PR from doing so.
