Here is my first video of my new blue guitar, the Deluxe Players Strat®. For the gainy tones, I use the Yellow Zonkin' Screamer. On the clean sounds, I use some 19 Sixty 3 clean boost. I also use a PB & J delay pedal. Using my Reverend Hellhound with the Avatar 2 x 12 cab. This guitar uses the Vintage Noisless pickups, and I am constantly switching back on forth on this clip, just trying different tones. It's kinda long this one, I know. Sorry about that, but I had a 50 minute clip to work with (I just had too much fun playing...) and I cut it down to this. Comment on this? |

Smashing playing... and the sound? Rich, sweet, crunchy, woody... just wonderful, love it... what a strat should sound like... chords and single notes ooze tonal quality... off to check the bank balance.....

My only complaint is with the slotted post on the machine heads which make changing strings a bit bothersome. Do you know if there are replacements? Comment added on June 04, 2009geir said... Jesus, what a nice player, both teg guitar and the guitarplayer. geir said... Jesus, what a nice player, both the guitar and the guitarist. George Shelton said... Wow! Excellent video! I looked up the guitar on Guitar Center.com and saw it for $799. I went to my local store and purchased a last one new (floor model)for $599. less 10%. I got the sunburst with the rosewood neck. I played it through a MG marshall amp to hear how good it sounded with a inexpensive amp. It was great! I love it! Thanks. Comment added on March 10, 2009Strativari ;-) said... Nice video and very helpful hints on the Deluxe Player Strat. Think this could be the Strat for me. Thanx! Comment added on February 19, 2009Robert said... Hi Doug, I used a Reverend Hellhound with a Distortion pedal on that clip. You might want to try a Fender amp with an overdrive pedal? Hard to say. I set the guitar with all knobs all the way up and I often play on the neck pickup. Amp settings are to taste. Comment added on January 08, 2009Doug said... Hey, a-fizzle said... wow... this is a nice guitar. I''m looking into buying one and this clip helped me hear what it sounded like with ALL different effects... Geo said... This is a much cleaner sound than I'd thought a strat should have, but it does have balls and at times even sounds like a telecaster. It could also be a blackie as it exhibits that EC sound. Jimi sounds come easy from this guitar too. It has nice harmonic overtones and lends itself to many styles of playing as a result. Would make a great country-rock or blues instrument. The sound is very healthy indeed and makes the guitar a very versatile machine. Why buy more than 1 strat? This one seems to be capable of handling just about every kind of music. An excellent guitar I'd say! DANNY STRATS said...
