🔥 We have only gone & made another batch of Pete's 64 Custom Shop Stratocasters! 🔥

Thanks for all the positive comments about this video - especially for the ones complimenting me on my playing. I really enjoyed the jams with Pete.
But I have to address all the “Relic Haters” & their constant knocking of anyone that likes these type of guitars. Firstly, everyone is entitled to an opinion about a guitar, but because every opinion about guitars is largely subjective, it’s kind of pointless (and often offensive) to bash someone who’s opinion is different to yours. Secondly, anyone who thinks a Fender Custom Shop Relic Guitar, is just a normal guitar with a bashed up paint finish is really showing a total lack of understanding about these guitars. These are accurate reproductions of vintage instruments, made by expert luthiers, that have that “lived in feel” - like your favourite old pair of slippers! It is not the same as buying a new car and adding dents!! By all means buy a modern poly finish guitar, play it relentlessly for 10 years & see if it starts to feel like a decent relic guitar. It won’t. It can’t. Poly finishes were designed to stay looking new. Poly is a hard wearing finish & it will not age like nitro. You can of course buy a new nitro finish guitar & play it non stop for 20 years & then you’d have your very own genuine “relic” but I can’t wait 20 years to get that guitar! Or you could just buy an original 50s or 60s guitar, but good luck finding 20-30 in your local guitar store, and get ready to remortgage your house to buy one!
Anyway - I’m not here to try & hate the haters!! I like a shiny new guitar as much as the next guy & if that’s your thing then all power to you! Just trying to throw some perspective on things & ask everyone to chill out a bit in the comments section. It’s just a bloody guitar after all! Cheers from Lee.

Pete’s phrasing and tone choice is stellar as always. The real standout though was Captain’s playing. He’s gotten so much better under Pete’s guidance. Good on ya Lee!

[jaysonmakesmusic]

The captain’s playing has become phenomenal over the years!

[fionaur]

God I love that Pete has his selfie with John Mayer printed on his mug

[BlueCollarLogic]

Lee has come home to where he's always belonged ... the major pentatonic.

The Andertons gang are all so likeable and entertaining. Keep it up guys.

i watched this with a dirty bad migraine and it was so relaxing that i almost forgot about the pain. Well done. Then i saw the price and the pain was back :-)

It might not be "classic" enough, but I think a relic'd British Racing Green on this would be crazy awesome.

The guitar I can’t stop looking at is that candy apple red strat. She’s a beauty

[chazjr]

I played my first relic Strat last week. Now it's all I can think about. The feel of that guitar was so incredible. Awesome video!

[Fender]

Great intro and outro playing. MP3'ed the episode and cut out the middle to get a really nice and smooth instrumental to add to my listening tracks. Thanks!!! Also keep us posted on if you sell enough of this series to give Pete back his guitar.

These vids with Capt. and Pete are excellent. They really upped the game a couple years ago. Interesting and fun to watch.

[JFK]

Great playing Captain. Pete of course is beyond but you are getting there. Such a treat to observe and listen to. Relic guitars are cool🥰

[pronumeral]

Lee's playing has improved so much under Pete's tutelage. Well done! Edit: Justin's tutelage, apparently.

[Hammerman]

Nothing wrong with a all down to personal taste. Each to their own.

[elenbrandt]

I love the videos with the two of you jamming...they bring me joy.

[malloc_]

Amazing guitars ... and I can't stress it enough: Pete, you are such an amazing dude and player ... Lee, what a smart move from you, to contract him. Love you guys !

[allstopblue]

All these haters saying they want to relic it naturally with their own playing, blah blah blah. Good luck. First off you gotta buy a nitro finish guitar to start with and unless you’re a touring musician 10 months of the year or a guy playing non stop bar gigs 7 nights a week for decades on end, you will NEVER get your guitar to look or feel this way in your lifetime. By the time it’s finally broken in and worn out you’ll be an old man who can no longer play and actually enjoy it. So again, good luck to you relicing your guitars naturally.

It might just be me, but these Pete & Cap'n jams are just about my favourite thing on youtube. They remind me why I love the guitar.
