New Guitar Day - Fender Poblano Stratocaster

Показать описание
In Today's video, Paul From The Studio Rats is looking at the Fender Custom Shop Ltd Edition Poblano Strat Relic.

Based on a 56 Strat, This alder-bodied guitar has a few differences. 1 being the pickups and 2 the baseball bat neck like a 1950s telecaster or no caster.

Here is what Fender says about the Poblano Pickups.
What’s behind the spicy sound of Custom Shop Hand-Wound Stratocaster® Ancho Poblano pickups? It’s simple: The secret’s in the sauce.

Available as fiery new option for Custom Shop builds, Ancho Poblano Stratocaster pickups are a special sonic recipe, with each pickup individually calibrated from neck to bridge. Each pickup is also uniquely overwound by hand for a wide range of high-output tones. That makes them ideal for the player in search of the perfect amount of heat—from vintage with a kick to Texas-style bold to full-throttle blistering—and plenty of flexibility.

No matter how serious the spice, every buttery note and nuance of Ancho Poblano pickups shines at any volume. It’s all thanks to a super-secret formula in which the pickups are “simmered,” offering plenty of texture, resonance and complexity—even when the tone is at its most punishing.

By moving the selector switch, players can unlock throaty Ancho Poblano tone while taking their output from warm (in the neck position) to scorching hot (in the bridge position).

Unlike the neck and middle pickups, which feature custom staggered alnico 3 pole pieces, the bridge pickup also sports flush-mount alnico 5 pole pieces for plenty of quack in the second position.

The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

As the owner of my fair share of CS Strats, in my humble opinion Ancho Poblano pups are fabulous.

The best Strat I've played in 45 or so years of playing Strats. The fat neck and those pickups just work beautifully. I have the white one which is reliced but not quite as heavy as yours. Nice video mate!

There are recognizable motifs in your playing, which I think allows for a terrific comparison point when you do something like this—introduce a new guitar. I’m also grateful that someone who loves playing guitar and can afford nice guitars isn’t shy about acquiring nice guitars.

Paul, the problem with your demos is that you make everything sound so damn good I feel the need to spend money! Seriously, well done as always.

I wasn't really much of a fan of relicing but this is winning me over. Excellent playing and tones as usual. I can see the logic in not worrying about the odd extra ding or two. 😊

I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this one. I've now gone in search of a Poblano-equipped Strat or probably what should now be called the Paul Drew Signature Model! Got to get one!
