You got the best job in the world. Amazing guitar and an excellent demonstration of it's features and sound.

I am lucky to own one of their Wine Series guitars, and hands down, the most musical and expressive pickups I have ever heard. The combo of the chestnut and their pickups is where the magic is... even using OD, the character of each position of the pickup switch comes thru. An AMAZING piece of playable art!

The shotgun shell brass is Fiocchi, the Italian ammunition maker like Winchester or Remington to us. 👍

Everybody is talking about that beautiful souding beast...but no one is talking about that talented man...I just love your playing Darrel....It inspires me a lot...Thank you...

150 year old barrel. I made my strat body from a couple of headboards
from a 145 year old boarding house that closed down. It looks pretty
unique, I left the lightly rounded edges when I edge glued it so the
lines would be visible from where I joined them it gives a rustic look
similar to an old general store floor.

$2, 894 USD on the current currency rate. That is a bargain to most Custom Shops

Today I'm checking out a true work of art! - This thing is amazing!

[DMSProduktions]

Finally! A guitar that actually IS for cork sniffers!

[robrusso]

I have never seen you smile so much playing a strat. Must be amazing.

You tried hard not to hit that copyrighted riff.

[scottywhittaker]

Mr. Braun I am 100% jealous of you. That has to be the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. Then I was blown away by the way it sounds. Absolutely beautiful

[deezee]

Yes, but how does it stack up against the affinity strat??? 😆 😆 😆

[BenDover-uyzg]

A real live "Stratoghetti"!, , , or, , "Spaghettocaster"!

[rayschoch]

Well done, as usual, Darrell. It's an amazing-looking guitar – not the shape, particularly, but as a certified old person myself, I love the idea of recycling old wood, and the case-hardened look of the pickguard, back plate, etc., is gorgeous. Coupled with a few modern touches and your usual thorough and enjoyable demo, it's a great video. Nice work all around!

Heard some sultans of swing in there... pleasant surprise

Lately, in the last 10 months I have been making an effort to spend less for new gear. In November 2018 I purchased the Monoprice Stageright 15 watt tube amp for only -$127.99 (not kidding), . Then I purchased the Acoustic G35FX SS amp for-$89 (new). Then I purchased an Indonesian made and Endorsed by Fender Squire Bullet Stratocaster guitar (new) for $109! It arrived with a repaired crack in the neck-I did apply some steel wool to make it so I could not feel the repair) it plays normally. The string gauge is just a little too thin for me and that's my only complaint. I have 15 new string sets in a box just waiting their turn!
You reviewed the 15 watt tube amp and I really like it.
The Accustic G35FX is a sleeper Guitar Amp for sure, loud, tone full, with reverb, chorus and delay available on both channels as well as the normal channel having a mid-scoup button. The other channel has a gain knob as well as a volume knob (Chicken Heads Knobs too!) What a great 12" speaker/35 watt amp!
Ol' cracked neck as I affectionate call her is a Strat in every way, as in it sounds like, feels like, play's like and looks like a Fender Stratocaster. Put some heavier gauge strings on her and dim the lights, hand her to anyone and let them play her. They shall like it and get as good a tone and playability as the Italian Strat in this video. And, no, I can't feel the repaired crack as I play. The neck is even made with birds-eye maple wood! Very nice to look at.
It makes me happy that for only $326 in Total I was able to obtain two solid guitar amplifiers and a solid Stratocaster. I'm getting smarter in my old age (69).

Oh and I have 5 quality violins from when I was a violinist, a neck injury destroyed those aspirations though. One of those violins and it's several hundred years old was made in Italy. So yes, I like the good stuff just like we all do. Yet, I made from kits another two violins and people say they sound very good. One kit cost $79 and the second kit only $49. Yes I had to purchase many special tools and also stains/varnishes/lacquer and it took me many hours of work to finish my kits but they play very well. Ha, I even put my name inside each of them and the year and place where I made them.

The way you solo is so mesmerizing that I could watch it all day.

[thedondeluxe]

Like the shape of the pickguard! Looks like a mix between a MusicMan and a Fender. Best of Leo :-)

[PianoCinematix]

i don't know what shines more, the guitar or your teeth. i'm very impressed with both! one of my favourite channels on YouTube great upload once again !

[joshuatreat]

That's pretty cool. Sounds good, looks good, Italian right down to the Fiocchi shot shells. Can't help but think it looks a little like someone's random partscaster, though. That's not a knock, my love for partscasters is what brought me to this channel!
