Title: All About Strat
Post by: markthevirtuoso on July 08, 2006, 05:23:38 AM
I was wondering kung anong difference ng Vintage Style Tremolo sa American Series Tremolo. Once, i borrowed my friend's American Standard tas napansin ko yung action nya ay napakababa. So i tried adjusting my Strat's (now sold though) classic trem way low but then i got fret buzz issues. I tried setting it up again to my normal setting which is the lowest possible action i could get without having such problems but then the difference with the other strat is a bit too much. Does this has anything to do with it? Or nasa fretboard radius din? :?
..of course, other types of strat tremolos are welcome here as well. :D

sayang strat mo bro!!! papakuha ko sana sa friend ko na taga-abu dhabi eh, pero i don't think he's willing to spend 800 dirhams for me, hehe. plus, sa feb next year pa sha uuwi eh, hehe.
anyway, sa pagkakaalam ko, yung american standard bridge is the floating type. and, as we all know, yung classic trem ng strat is the... classic, hehe. regarding action, i think kaya naman ma-achieve yung lowest possible action sa kahit anong strat, may it be amstd trem or classic trem, or any trem for that matter. pero it's not all in the bridge or saddles eh, maybe kaya nag-buzz na frets mo nung binaba mo yung saddles kasi konti lang neck relief sa neck ng strat mo, or maybe the neck angle is a little shallow, etc. i don't think the fretboard radius has anything to do with it kasi pwede naman ma-compensate yung radius sa saddles eh. so yun, basta factors for me is, saddle height, neck angle, neck relief and fret levels. so yun.

i'm looking forward to acquiring another strat soon, hehehe. bahala na...
pero as for the bridge, i don't think i can ever use anything else. talagang the classic bridge is the only strat bridge for me, hehe.

Newer trem, more solid pieces as oppose to older thinner pieces? Affect in tone? Hhmm... dunno. I like both.
Strat lover... I think I can't call myself as one, hehe :lol:

it's the fretboard radius. american standards have a flatter 9.5" freboard radius as opposed to the 7.25" radius of the MIJ 50's RI strat. a manner to compensate for this smaller radius on the 50's RI is to stagger your saddles to follow the radius of the fingerboard.

Baka naman dahil sa neck at frets kaya nagba-buzz pag ibinaba mo yung action. Kasi yung fretboard radius puedeng mai-compensate by adjusting the individual height of the saddles.
Not related to the buzz, mas makapal yung trem block nung lumang trem unit kesa sa mga bago. Kaya pa raw mas toneful yung mga sinaunang strats.

speaking of Strat bridges, may tanong din ako sa inyo mga pre.. kakapalit ko lang kasi ng strings (Fender Bullet 0.010s to GHS Boomers 0.010s) sa Strat ko (50th Anniv American with American Standard bridge), and whenever i use the vibrato bar, i hear a slight "tick" na di ko alam kung saang part nanggagaling. ang result nun is tumataas nang konti yung tuning ng 3rd string ko, probably by 3 cents or so. kelangan ko i-scoop up yung vibrato bar para bumalik sa tono. 3rd string lang yung nagkakaganito, yung iba naman hindi affected. weird! pano to remedyuhan guys? thanks!

Ya, solid steel blocks and saddles ng american standard. Ang mga Japanese standard ay may cast metal na blocks din kaso shaped somewhat like a vintage saddle. Yung mga reissue na 70s parang ganun din, parang classic pero blocks. The rest of the MIJ reissues probably have the "stamped" saddles which looks like sheet metals folded.

Napansin ko sa akin yong tick nang galing sa springs that holds the trem sa likod ng gitar. A little bit of KY Jelly :twisted: (or whatever oil/lubs you guys have, hehe) solves the problema, :lol:
As far as the tuning prob. Napansin ko sa older style trem, sometimes with my newer style trem too, out of tune ako dahil yong string ay hindi naka pasok fully and not set right sa trem block. I also notice na problema din sa nut. Minsan sumasabit when you hit the trem bar down and goes back in tune when you pull the bar up. Again, konting himas himas lang ng KY Jelly (or preffered lube of choice, hehe :twisted: ) and your good to go!

"masisikip" pala ang mga Strat, kelangan pa ng pangpadulas hehe.. inobserve ko yung guitar ko while playing around with the vibrato bar, and i think nasa nut nga yung problema. pano ayusin to without replacing it? lalagyan ko na lang talaga ng konting lubricant yung nut at springs sa trem? thanks in advance! :)

Post by: sonnyrayvaughn on July 09, 2006, 02:32:32 AM
modern strats have 2 point trems..mas solid pati yung steel na ginamit compared to the classice ones...yung classic style trem, kinakalawang pati yung saddles. the classic trems have 6 screws na directly naka screw sa body, so if you use the trem bar often, better use the modern strats. about action, mahirap nga mag adjust ng action ng strats..di lang height ng bridge at saddles and kelangan i-consider...dapat pati concave/convex ng truss rod i-adjust.. and +1 don sa radius comment. mas round yung classics, compensate mo na lang sa height ng saddles.
about lubricating the nut, lapis lang ang sagot dyan :) kuha ka ng lapis, tapos sulatan/lagyan mo ng lead yung nut slots. solb na yan.
me, a big fender strat lover... ive tried and owned teles, ibanez's, les pauls, sa strat pa rin ako in the end...although di pa ko nakakatry ng musicmans and PRS's, and the Parkers are nice to play.

just got my strat back after i had it refretted, refinished, and replaced the electronics(pups, knobs, switch). sarap talaga strat lalo na pag super low ang action. mines a MIJ 50's reissue with bnew GFS pups. i actually had to raise the action a tiny little bit. parang ang daya sobra eh. di ako sanay. :lol:
i'm thinking of putting brass plates under the pickups because i read that it'll make it sound like a tele( almost siguro). i like the punch of the tele and the pickup combinations of a strat. kaya eto nag iisip ng ikakalikot. or pag tinamad at may extrang pera i'm thinking of getting a Dimarzio Red Velvet....or if maraming pera i might get three hahahahaha! what do you guy's think?
gusto ko din sana umorder sa stewmac ng kluson style locking tuners. laya lang ang graphtec nut at sting retainers kulay itim. hindi babagay sa gitara ko kasi dilaw na sya( dati black). and i love the look of the round string retainer of the orignal. Ok ba yung LSR roller nut? would you recommend it?
oorder din ako eventually ng wilkinson vintage style trem with pop-in arm para wala nang ma lu-loose thread. talk about GAS!!!
Long live the STRAT!!!!

I have this Fender Floyd Rose Squier Series neck attached to a Mexican standard body. It is intonated and is always tuned right in the higher positions (near the headstock) But when I play the higher registers, (near the bridge) I find the tuning lowered so I have to bend it slightly when I play. This is very evident when playing Satriani's "Always with you, always with me" (tama ba ung title? heheh) when the verse is played an octave higher after the first chorus. I wonder if my strat's frets are not placed in the proper positions. I noticed this when I got another Strat that plays perfect. I think it couldnt be the setup because I setup my guitars and I have not experienced this problem in other guitars.
What could be the solution? Thanks for readin' Dito ko daw ipost!
Hey Its not the intonation?...

mga pare, educate me naman on the differences/effects of the tuners/machine heads na ginagamit sa Strat. to be honest, i'm really not very particular sa tuners; basta it can hold strings in tune, ayos na for me. usual kong nakikita kasi yung Schaller, Gotoh, Kluson and yung vintage Fender. anu-ano yung differences, pros and cons, etc. ng isa't isa? magandang discussion to since madaming Strat users dito with different setups :)

pare sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam, hehe. i think based on model and history lang kaya nagkaiba-iba ng tuners, hehe.
yung kluson kasi ginamit nila sa 50's and 60's strats. yung gotoh or "modern" tuners, sa mga modern na strats na, like yung standard strat. di ko lang alam yung schaller kung san sha, hehe.

ahh.. nalilito kasi ako e. according to the parts list ng Strat ko, Schaller daw yung tuners ko. eh di ko naman ang pros and cons ng tuners kasi di ko talaga gamay ang tuner/machine head department e hehe. eto headstock ng Strat ko (for reference sa Strat with Schaller tuners):

Quote from: nicosci
I have this Fender Floyd Rose Squier Series neck attached to a Mexican standard body. It is intonated and is always tuned right in the higher positions (near the headstock) But when I play the higher registers, (near the bridge) I find the tuning lowered so I have to bend it slightly when I play. This is very evident when playing Satriani's "Always with you, always with me" (tama ba ung title? heheh) when the verse is played an octave higher after the first chorus. I wonder if my strat's frets are not placed in the proper positions. I noticed this when I got another Strat that plays perfect. I think it couldnt be the setup because I setup my guitars and I have not experienced this problem in other guitars.
What could be the solution? Thanks for readin' Dito ko daw ipost!
Hey Its not the intonation?...
sounds like an intonation problem to me. although once may kakilala ako nagka problemang ganyan- di matono sa higher frets kahit mukhang perfectly intonated (di nga lang strat ang gitara nya) at ang nadiskubre eh may problema sa nut. ayun inadjust ang taas ng nut natono naman. di ko nga ma gets eh.

Yun pala yun.eheh I've never really found Gotohs appealing. :D
Gotoh makes a huge variety of tuner designs besides the oval and Schaller-style, like the locking Kluson-style tuners: (http://www.stewmac.com/catalog/images_1lg/1954_1lg.jpg)
nyek, bakit iba yung suksukan ng strings sa gotoh kluson type? eh yung habol ko nga sa kluson na tuners yung string hole sa split top design nya. para at least pwede mo salpak dun yung dulo ng string. problema ko kasi sa mga gitara ko eh they tend to fray the inside of the gigbag, hehe. kahit may added protection na yung gigbag nafe-fray parin, hehe. at least sa kluson, kung nakapasok yung end nung guitar string, no problem, hehe.

the one on the right is my new GAS result, a blackie fender strat (squier series) MIM, poplar body, maple neck, all stock. it has a warmer tone than its ash brother, hehe.

yuf, it's an MIM squier series fender strat. it's basically the same standard MIM strat except for the cheaper hardware. yung standard MIM strats kasi have a classic bridge, schaller tuners and alnico pickups, yung squier series na MIM naman have a cheaper bridge, cheaper "diamond back" tuners and ceramic pickups. pero basically the woods used are the same. i think mine's poplar. maputi sha eh, kahit black... huh? hehe. de i removed the neck to check out a crack i found in the body, luckily it was only a finish crack, hehe. pero the wood is very light colored, and medyo on the heavy side.

yup, mismo.
re: your inquiry on the quality of makes, i think...
1. MIA, CIJ (crafted in japan models are higher quality than MIJ) 2. with MIJ as a close second 3. MIM is a close third, sometimes second 4. MIK (with the exception of the protone series, which for me, ranks # 2 or 3) 5. CIC, MIC crafted in china are the most entry-level strats.

Post by: Al_Librero on July 10, 2006, 03:32:44 PM
well, para sa akin, ibig lang sabihin ng CIJ e they were built during the late 1990's (starting from 1997, I think). i've seen no particular reason for them to be superior to the older MIJ's, aside from them being in better condition for the most part (kasi mas bago nga).

i prefer passive.. kung di lang ma-hum yung '54 Custom Shop pickups ko, ok na ok na ako sa tunog e. kaya naman masolve ng noise suppressor pedal yun, pero yung BPSSC pa rin ang gusto ko sana ilagay sa Strat ko :)

pero hindi ba mas maganda yung woods na gamit ng mga CIJ? instead of basswood ata they started using alder. pero may basswood models parin sila.
like yung mga modern na 50's & 60's reissue na binebenta sa ishibashi, alder na sila. pero they also have yung lower end basswood models. pero, ika nga, siguro depende din sa model. yung sabi ko lang jan eh according to what i know, hehe. and that is not much, hehe.
Title: Re: All About Strat
Post by: Taoistguitarist on July 10, 2006, 04:05:08 PM
hmmm may nakita nako na CIJ na basswood eh. mines a 50's reissue MIJ pero di sya basswood. It's a maple(?) body with alder wings. so i guess pareho lang sila quality. may economy version lang sila talaga. same with your MIM- sa hardware lang ata. like unstamped saddles ceramic pups and smaller pots. :D
and for those of us who'll eventually upgrade their pickups, pots, etc. the economy version is probably a bettr choice. :wink:
hope this helps

anyway, here's a website na medyo interesting...

http://ishibashi.co.jp/webshop/guitar/fender-j/st7258us.htm - though the one i tried was in yellow-white color
does the 50% price mark up justify the specs for the st68-85tx?

ey nico, i have a proposal for you... pareho tayong naghahanap ng tortoise pickguard eh. you might want to check out www.guitarfetish.com they sell cheap guitar parts and pickups. best of all, they ship here to the philippines. for around $40 shipping. so kung may ka-hati ka sa shipping, it gets cheaper, gets? i don't have a credit card kasi eh, so we need someone who has one to order for us, tapos babayaran nalang natin.
so order tayo tig-isa na tortoise pickguard, some hardware and pickups. sobrang cheap lang bro, yung inorder ko na lespaul hardware, isang set, bridge, tuners and stoptail $60 lang inabot. kaya lang hindi ko sha pinaship dito since may uuwi. pero in our case, papa-ship tayo talaga.

vintage bridge vs am deluxe bridge vs wilkinson vs100?
tsaka isa pa, did anyone here used the CS fat50s in their strat?

sensya na sa newbie questions mga bro, this will be my first strat kasi if ever..i have my eye on a CIJ 70s reissue strat. tried searching the net pero wala ko masyado makita explanations sa truss rod types for strat..

Post by: ice_man_jester on July 15, 2006, 09:00:31 PM
just got my first strat..nakakapanibago as i've always been using humbuckers..pasok na pasok sa blues and clean playing which is medyo mahirap sa LP for me.. :D
tried lots of strats today as i made the round of music shops..tried MIJ and CIJ na 50s/60s/70s reissue, 60th anniv standard strat, american series strats..di ko lang na-try yung mga custom shop since baka magandahan lang ako masyado e di naman abot budget ko.. :D
tried 57 ri with lace sensor, 68 ri with texas specials, 72 ri's with vintage us pickups, american series and the 60th anniv standard na MIM..
to my amateur ears, the 72's where trebly, clear, twangy while the 68 was middy, the 57 was ok for mid-to high gain pero di ko trip sa clean and suprisingly halos wala or wala talaga syang hum(not sure of the specs of lace sensors).
to my surprise, yung american series has the lowest output, ok for low to mid gain pero so so yung clean. the 60th anniv was a close second dito sa napili ko,, ok ang clean pati yung low to mid gain..
settled on this one since ito ung pinakagusto ko yung tone..

sir thortured, around 450 USD lang..sa singapore ko nakuha to..bagong dating na shipment..looks like special order by the shop since it has gotoh tuners(just a hunch)..also can't find any exact model from the ishibashi website with the exact same specs..
sir kulas, CIJ 70s reissue lang..not sure of the wood probably alder or basswood..pansin ko lang, it weighs nearly as heavy as the US strats with alder while yung ibang CIJ strats na na-test ko is really light(having been accustomed to LPs). from what i experience testing ibanez, magaan ang basswood..but for the price, id still think basswood to.. :D

Post by: ice_man_jester on July 16, 2006, 08:02:00 PM
fender gigbag lang kasama pag CIJ..yung mga MIA comes with hardcase..
pag kasama hardcase(non-fender nga lang), papatak mga around 500 USD..di na muna ko kumuha ng separate hardcase since medyo ok naman yung gigbag na kasama.. :D
kala ko wala na MIJ and pumalit yung CIJ, meron pa pala..mas mura ng konti yung MIJ as compared sa CIJ..sabi nung store owner the difference between the two is on the hardware part..ie pickups, tuners etc..yung mga MIJ was between 350-400 USD ang pricing nila..

sir kulas, CIJ 70s reissue lang..not sure of the wood probably alder or basswood..pansin ko lang, it weighs nearly as heavy as the US strats with alder while yung ibang CIJ strats na na-test ko is really light(having been accustomed to LPs). from what i experience testing ibanez, magaan ang basswood..but for the price, id still think basswood to.. :D
hmm, may lite ash kasi eh. pero supposedly yung mga 70's reissue naka-ash yan. faithful to the 70's strat specs. 3-bolt neckplate yan diba? bullet truss rod? if the weight's on the heavy side, malamang ash yan. yung basswood kasi magaan eh. alder magaan din, hehe. pero if it sounds great, who cares about the wood diba? hehe. swak yung presyo nya at $450. those go for around 40-50k yen sa ishibashi eh. so ayos yan. great guitar man!

yup 3-bolt neckplate and bullet truss rod..ito yung nagustuhan ako among all the strats na na-test ko yesterday..
sarap pala ng strat..dito ko lang pala makukuha yung low/mid gain tones na gusto ko..mukhang pahinga yung LPs ko for the meantime.. :D

da best talaga strat, hehe. baligtad tayo, ngayon naman medyo naa-appreciate ko naman yung LP ko, hehe. pero the best ang strat sa "pogi jazz" tugtugan. yung 2 and 4 position plus some rich chorus... perfect for pogi jazz, hehe. yung LP is warm, hehe. which i like din.

sir phil, bakit parang di po naka-align yung strings dun sa neck nung strat nyo? para pong halos nasa edge na nung neck yung low e string tapos laki naman ng clearance ng high e dun sa kabilang edge ng neck?
thanks...good point...I have to take it to a luthier to set it up....when I got it straight from the store it wasn't even tuned right.....I think they loosen the strings while in storage.....altough it doesn't bother my playing.
Nakupo! Sana mali lang ang pagputol sa nut. Pag mali ang installation ng trem, kahit off ng fractions ng inch yari! Sakit sa ulo niyan. Ilang araw return policy Phil?

body : basswood neck : maple - oval type, 324 scale nut : 42mm fretboard : maple - one piece, 21 frets pickup : USA vintage x 3 bridge : die cast block S5D current control : 1 volume 2 tone switch : 5 way

Salamat, bro. Ang P-90 e Gibson pickup, pero single coil din tulad ng Fender. Kaya lang ang Fender malinaw at snappy, ang p-90 parang mabuhok and growly almost like a humbucker. Really good for blues kahit walang distortion/overdrive sa chain. Ganito itsura ng P-90 gawa ng Gibson:

guys kelangan ko ng opinion niyo...alin mas maganda, yung nasa itaas o nasa ibaba (click the link medyo malaki yung pic hehehe). when i installed a washburn pickup on the bridge, my original pup covers wouldnt fit. so i had one pup that was black and everything else was white. then i recently obtained black pup covers for my mid and neck + black knobs. now which looks better? my current pickguard is white btw. (and thats not my guitar though thats how my guitar's looks like).

Hi guys! Where can i learn more about my strat? I bought it brand new in 1996. It has the sunburst body with maple neck and fretboard. There's a 50th Anniversary decal on the back of the headstock and it's made in the USA. I tried taking a few lessons back then but i eventually decided to go back to classical guitar... well, more like church music :)
anyway, is the strat a keeper? is this something worth passing on to one of my kids one day? perhaps one of them will seriously get into it? Or, should i trade it in for a better classical guitar? hmmm... or should i try playing her again? medyo matanda na kasi ako...

it depends. if i remember correctly, there were some strats sold in 1994 that had the decal but were not the anniversary model. and i think they came out with more than one anniversary model -- deluxe, limited edition, etc.
i'd keep it though regardless of potential future value. strats will always be an all-time-favorite in my opinion.

Yes fat strats have humbucking bridge pickups and double fat strats have humbuckers for neck and bridge pickups...
Yes you can fit any standard size humbucking pickup to your guitar tho for EMG's baka may kailanganin na adaptor para sa screws pero madali lang yun yakang yaka na yun ng mga luthiers natin...
Ang major downside nyan is wala nang in between strat tone ang guitara mo kc walang middle pickup and siempre iba talaga ang sound ng single coil so hindi na talaga strat ang sound nyan...
Pero ok din yun kung rock naman ang togs mo kc humbuckers are quiet pag sa distortion and siempre mas malaki ang sound...

Yes you can fit any standard size humbucking pickup to your guitar tho for EMG's baka may kailanganin na adaptor para sa screws pero madali lang yun yakang yaka na yun ng mga luthiers natin...
do squier double fat strats use f-spaced humbuckers or standard sized ones? i know, it wouldnt make sense to use f-spaced humbuckers, but it is "fender" squier.

Guys.. maganda ba ang basswood for a strat in terms of sound? I've been eyeing an MIJ Fender ST-50.

The Best talaga ang Alder or Swamp Ash para sa strat pero meron ka ring ma chachambahan na maganda ang sound na Basswood lang althou for me the best talaga ang ALDER ito kc ang gamit ng mga vintage na strat... Pero depende talaga sa guitara bro eh kung minsan kahit ash na or alder ang body d parin maganda ang sound chempo chempo yan...

mas may emphasis ang basswood sa mids dahil malambot na kahoy sya so hindi nya masyado binabalik ang bass and treble. I like basswood with pickups na hindi masyado ma mids. Balanced ang tone. :-D And depende rin sa quality ng wood. :-D

Not to spoil your fun basswood lovers but we cant generalize on this... Basswood is a flat sounding tonewood. Alder on the other has more pronounced mids... Pero d lang naman kc bodywood ang nag dedefine ng tone ng isang guitar there are other factors to consider like Neckwood, Hardware and Pickups. Lalo na yung Bridge ang laking factor din nito... Kaya as Ive said chempo chempo talaga... Ako I've had quite a few strats over the years from every price range and have found that kahit ano pang kahoy ang ginamit mapa Alder, Ash, Poplar or Basswood hindi parin garantisadong tutunog ng maganda may pangit parin at maganda... Ako preferred ko Alder and light Ash kc ito talaga ang original tonewoods para sa strat. Alder has more pronounced mids isang reason kung bakit halos lahat ng Idols natin na stratmen ito ang gamit.

i'm not a basswood lover bro but i don't hate it either :-D. I'm just pointing out what's good for basswood( the flat sounding tonewood as you have described it). And wala namang nag generalize men :-D Alam naman nating lahat that it's just part of the tonal equation. Ang question lang kung maganda ang quality nung wood na ginamit. Some people actually want basswood over others even if they have other tonewoods at their disposal. Go figure. 8-) John Suhr even mentioned that for him Basswood with a maple top is probably the Holy Grail of tone.
But alder is great for strats. medyo magaan sya compared to northern ash. Sarap nga nyan for punchy upper mids. But for complex overtones, i'd go for Hard Ash. Ok din ang mahogany for strat, i had one before and it sounds meaty without needing overwound pickups.

Basswood pala 'to. All the while akala ko alder. Anyway.. Kumusta ang tunog? Description please. :lol:
Wow. Lots of info on basswood overnight. Thanks sa replies. I found a website through Google before.. it had soundclips of a basswood and alder-bodied strat. Great comparison nga eh. (He just transferred the neck between the basswood & alder bodies). I noticed that the basswood body had a warmer tone. The alder body had more 'punch'. I'll try to look up the site later.
Yun nga, hindi garantisadong maganda talaga ang tone ng guitar if it's alder, ash or whatever. The sad thing is, I can't seem to find a basswood or alder-bodied strat dito sa Pinas that I can try out (and fits my price range). Either oorderin pa sa Japan or sa US. :-( Ang laki pa ng patong ng MIM strats dito. (I'm talking brand new. Hehehe.)

Ewan ko kung nasagot na to pero nung umpisa ng thread may nag tanung kung ano diff ng AM STD bridge sa Classic 6 point sychronized tremolo bridge ng strat. Tama 2 point lang ang AM std pero its block is cast hot rolled steel na maliit lang. tapos yung spacing nya mas makipot din parang 21/16ths ata ang sukat. Also it has cast stainless steel saddles. Sa original vintage trem malaki yung block na cast hot rolled steel at pag pre cbs mababaw lang ang butas kya kita mo yung ball ends sa dulo kc d masyado pumapasok sa loob. nung post cbs na inintroduce na nila yung fender bullet strings so ginawa nilang mas malalim yung butas para makapasok yung bullets. mula noon hangang ngayun ganun na kalalim ang butas ng lahat ng bridge nila exept for the eric johnson sig. mas malapad din ang string spacing 27/32 ata. Bent steel ang saddles. Yung mga japan at Mexico na mga classic moddels Zinc lang ang block kc mga low end nila ito.

i'm thinking of buying (and hoping to be able to learn to play it) a fender strat. what's the best deal: Fenders that are MIJ, MIM or US? i read in a post that MIJs are getting higher in value in recent years. i want to know why. of course, the US ones are so expensive and i want to know the difference in terms of sound. which is better? what are the qualities in a FENDER GUITAR that i should look for?
i'm learning to play the blues and i have a used squier strat that i bought for practice. could you also give me tips on how to play the blues? suggested gear (ams, pedals, etc.)?
i'd appreciate your posts, masters. thanks and more power-chords.

Hello Itchybrain,
US Fenders have better hardware and has traditional tonewoods like alder and ash.
Japanese Fenders usually have zinc blocks and use basswood for the body though some
high end Jap Fenders like the jap market only Japan Vintage series also use alder and ash.
You will find that some japanese fenders do sound better than the US ones but this is not
always the case. There are good and bad guitars in every pricerange, Having a US made
Fender does not guaratee a good tone. There are no guarantees for finding good guitars you
just have to weed out the bad from the good regardless of brand, where it was made, how
old it is or what pricerange it belongs too.

I was wondering kung anong difference ng Vintage Style Tremolo sa American Series Tremolo. Once, i borrowed my friend's American Standard tas napansin ko yung action nya ay napakababa. So i tried adjusting my Strat's (now sold though) classic trem way low but then i got fret buzz issues. I tried setting it up again to my normal setting which is the lowest possible action i could get without having such problems but then the difference with the other strat is a bit too much. Does this has anything to do with it? Or nasa fretboard radius din? :?
..of course, other types of strat tremolos are welcome here as well. :D
Sir Mark, the luthier here can make my '57 strat have a an ultra-low action without buzzing by setting the neck in such a way that it almost doesn't have a relief(hairline relief daw) and setting the saddle radius to 10". Yun nga palang fretboard radius ko ay 7.25 radius. Btw, ang galing ng kanta ng banda niyo s totoo lang. :-)

Guys sino na naka-try ng Fender SCN's(Samarium Cobalt Noiseless)?yung stock pickups ng bagong American Deluxe.May dilemma ako whether to keep the stock electronics on(the S-1 switch is really promising) or to slap in my EMG DG20 set.I'm using the EMG's now with my 60th anniv Highway1/Am Series Partscaster and it sounds nice and the two switches included makes it a whole lot better. Ang pangit pa ng reviews ng SCN's sa harmony central.BTW the EMG DG20 consists of three SA's, an EXG and SPC switch.I'll probably get the guitar by september and I'll make sure that I post it here hehe. :lol:

Some EMG Pups use alnico magnets as well...as for which is more "strat" than the other...I really can't tell...Better ask Steve Lukather and David Gilmour on which sounds "strater", stock alnicos or their EMG SA's. http://www.emgpickups.com/displayproducts.asp?section=Guitar&categoryid=7 (http://www.emgpickups.com/displayproducts.asp?section=Guitar&categoryid=7)

yung pickups nyan yung binebenta kong Alnico pro 2 set, which i decide to keep nalang.
fernandes revival strat yan pero i like it more than other fender mijs na naksabay nya kaya sya ang tinira ko. :-D

tnx sir. Actually, yung 57 naibenta ko n since nakuha ko yung SRV at ndi ko n natanggal yung fralins kasi wla nko time maghanap ng ibang pickups n pambenta with it. But I got to use it extensively.
I'd say maganda talaga fralins. Yung vintage hots p lang nattry ko s pickups nila pero I have a feeling it's their best set. It's as advertised and yung review s guitar player nung 90s is very accurate. Nirereflect niya talaga yung qualities ng combination ng wood, hardware, etc. ng guitar. Very chimey, articulate at ndi na basta basta nababasag pag nilagyan ng drive. Rinig mo p rin yung string separation. In fact, yung pickups ng SRV n calibrated set ng duncan ssl-5 papalitan ko eh. I was choosing between suhr v60s and the fralins vintage hot again yesterday and I figured s fralins n lang ulit muna ko since ntry ko n yun ng matagal. I got to try v60s pero matagal n dun s tyler strat ng kakilala ko dito. I hope this helps. :-)

Ano po ba yung mga qualities na dapat suriin pag bumibili ng strat?
Bro, madaming related topics dito sa thread na ito about your question. Just read on! :)
My take: research on the year and make of the strat body, neck and other parts whether an MIA or an MIJ. Kung MIJ, which i'm really a big-ass fan, try goin' to www.21frets.com or google MIJ Fender Stratocaster.
I hope this helps. Happy Fender Strat hunting! :-)

re: your inquiry on the quality of makes, i think...
1. MIA, CIJ (crafted in japan models are higher quality than MIJ) 2. with MIJ as a close second 3. MIM is a close third, sometimes second 4. MIK (with the exception of the protone series, which for me, ranks # 2 or 3) 5. CIC, MIC crafted in china are the most entry-level strats.
i say MIA are a tid bit better than MIJs. not worth the buck though.

Normally, it will fit. If you have 11 holes in your pick guard and you put an 11 hole replacement PG, it will fit. I think there is a pickguard which is the one installed in the 70s Strats that has a different placement of one hole. Otherwise, I think all pickguards for Strats whether Squire or Fender are interchangeable.
FWIW

hmmm personally I'd stay away from basswood bodies for strat...in my opinion it lacks response and the highs aren't that pronounced compared to alder bodies...

i think string trees just help out in putting strings on the few last posts. because of the height of the nut , stringing the last post without trees will become tiresome and troublesome due to slippage (the coil you made will just slip to the top of the post and you're back to square one). my opinion

na testing ko sya last time and it's vibey, comfortable the fretwires are good malalaki at rounded not the usual flat-top trapezoid look. the finish is nice,
sound wise it's just the same as the other am std for my ears, just alittle bit sustain. the look and feel of the guitar kinda makes you think it's better than it's predecessors and has mojo, but, again in the end, its better try it yourself first.
Title: Re: All About Strat
Post by: rainierito on June 02, 2008, 06:31:42 PM
I have this Fender Floyd Rose Squier Series neck attached to a Mexican standard body. It is intonated and is always tuned right in the higher positions (near the headstock) But when I play the higher registers, (near the bridge) I find the tuning lowered so I have to bend it slightly when I play. This is very evident when playing Satriani's "Always with you, always with me" (tama ba ung title? heheh) when the verse is played an octave higher after the first chorus. I wonder if my strat's frets are not placed in the proper positions. I noticed this when I got another Strat that plays perfect. I think it couldnt be the setup because I setup my guitars and I have not experienced this problem in other guitars.
What could be the solution? Thanks for readin' Dito ko daw ipost!
Hey Its not the intonation?...
bro intonation adjustment sagot jan, given that the string height and neck relief is ok. i suggest get a tuner, tune the open string, then press at the 12th fret. pag flat, loosen the screw of the saddle (that will make it move away from the bridge), if sharp, tighten (saddle will move towards the bridge). tama ba ko guys? then tune again to get it perfectly in pitch, both open and 12th fret. tamad na ko magback read kung nasagot na eh.

they just went back to the basics, they listened to their loyal fenderooligans and the result nga ay ang 2008 am std...
imo they should have just made a new guitar line for those design alterations... the am series was always been about innovation, experimenting in the unknown to achieve something iconic,
the new one is a back to basic one, which i think is good guitar pero sana gumawa nalang sila ng ibang line of series guitar for such a model. there's nothing new about the new am std. yung 2 point trem at huge fret lang ata ang nag stay. nothing modern about it anymore
dapat ginawa nila katulad ng vintage series, it has the hotrod vintage series which ads modern upgrades to the vintage series.
the MIM classic player series kicks the am std's pwet in terms of hot rodding the tele and strat. and it's cheaper.

Title: Re: All About Strat
Post by: Red_Strat on June 06, 2008, 10:13:04 PM
250k pots give a darker tone.. it compliments the single coils on a strat really well. 500k pots of the other hand, are brighter.. that's why they're used more with humbuckers.

Wow salamat bro! pero medyo masyadong matindi naman yung naiisip mo'ko. Dapat si Farseer naiisip mo hehehe Salamat ulit! G;ad you enjoyed the few pics.
Maha: yepyep. hindi ko papakawalan 'to. I like the sound of the JM so much better but There's something about a burst Strat that makes it a classic in my eyes. might replace the pups eventually pag nagkaextra.

Post by: jimy james on June 18, 2008, 03:14:42 AM
if you're using the "classic" strat bridge, try mo i-adjust yung saddles para mawala yung buzz. also baka lubog na yung nut ng aratig mo... kung hindi rin lang shread ang tugtugan mo, i suggest na taasan mo yung saddles sa bridge ng strat mo bro. ika nga ni Jeff Beck, "the higher the action, the heavier the gauge, the better the sustain!" ever wonder why SRV got that killer tone? he uses a gauge 13 on his axe & the action is like 1/4" fm. the fretboard... allen wrench lang katapat nyan bro... good luck!

pinalitan ko ng bridge pup yung s-s-s strat ko.
dati, pag nasa bridge position at naka open mga appliance sa kwarto may hum (normal sa single coil) pag nasa bridge at mid position wala na hum kasi 2 coil na.
ngayon, (after installing humbucking bridge pup) pag nasa bridge position at naka open ang appliance sa kwarto wala ng hum. pero nagkaroon ng konting hum sa bridge and mid position.
may problema kaya sa pag install ko ng humbacking bridge pup :?
thanks

wrong grammar.
anyway for nong's question, I found switching from passive to active pickups a better solution to eliminating unwanted strat noise. tried shielding before but it didn't work for me. there are also "noiseless" single coils that you can try chief or those "rails" hehe.

sorry if i posted this here, pero im having intonation problems mga sir eh.
what am i supposed to do pag todo na yung saddles pero flat parin ako? and parang hindi sumusunod sa intonation? yung HIGH E string ko lang ang ganito. yung ibang strings, ok naman, sumusunod sa intonation if i adjust the saddles. pero sa HIGH E string, parang hindi sumusunod even if i adjust the saddles.. pero gumagalaw yung saddles. naka-todo na nga ngayon eh, but sadly.. its still flat by like 15 cents! huhuhu
naka strat modern 2pt trem bridge ako mga sir, and yes, i know basic bridge intonation.
has anybody encountered this? ano kaya ginagawa sa ganito?
and yeah i dunno if nakaka-affect ito, pero napansin ko yung HIGH E string ko, significantly mas mababa ang string height compared sa other strings..
hala.. what to do.. what to do.. luthier na ba ito mga sir? :?

Ganyan rin madalas na problem ko sa 1st E string ng strat ko. Pero pag brand new naman ung strings wala naman problema sa intonation. Masyado talga sigurong acidic ang kamay ko kaya na dedeform ung string kaya mahirap na maintonate. Remedyo ko lang talaga magpalit ng strings pag nawawala na ung intonation.

If you say your strings are rusted already, that must be it. I remember even having major intonation problems ON A NEW SET OF STRINGS which was remedied by putting another fresh set. Baka string/s lang yan

bro, luthier na yan dapat noon pa. sensya na ha, ganun kasi ako, ayoko pangunahan eh, it might cause more damage/problem kung ako gagawa or i may/may not do it correctly. in my case, in acquiring a guitar (bnew or used) i bring to jun castro and have him set it up, which he already knows my personal specs (like low action, 9's na strings etc.) and he explains why/what should be done in special cases.
bring it to your luthier and let the experts do it and the end result is 'worry free'.

i think it's around 2 lang. low action ako brad, i only have a tape measure here and i measured after the set up.. i could be wrong. basta alam na ng luthier ko. :lol:
i just dont understand why other people bring their guitars to the luthier kapag sira na. :? or some say "bakit ko dadalin guitar ko, di pa naman sira..", my personal opinon, to get the most of your instrument, bnew or pre-owned, it must be checked and set-up for optimal & quality performance.
btw, clarify ko lang ha na hindi action ang problem ng guitar mo bro, m just making it clear, i've just stated an example of my set up. hehehe.. :wink:

oo bro, si mang jun na nag-aalaga nitong gitara ko since day 1 na makuha ko sha! alam nya rin yung sukat nito, pati lahat nang preferences ko! pag dating sa pag-"optimize" nang gitara ko, sa kanya ko talaga dinadala, (truss rod, action, pickup replacement, fret leveling, etc) pero pag basic bridge intonation lang, ako na gumagawa nun kasi sobrang simple lang naman eh. nagulat lang ako, kung bakit antagal ko na nag-iintonate, ngayon lang ako naka-encounter nang ganito. well, baka nga katulad nung sinabi nila sir bradey at lovecore, baka nga "patay" na yung strings ko. ill replace it with a fresh set muna
brandey: oo brad, ako rin yan ang problema ko since grade 4 ako, sobrang acidic nang kamay ko. minsan after a gig, pag di ko napunasan nang mabuti strings ko, kalawang na kinabukasan. hassle talaga, sobrang tadtad nga nang silica yung guitar case ko eh
lovecore: talaga, new set of strings sumablay sa intonation? what strings were you using then? im using GHS EJ signature 0.11's, for about mga 4 years na. ngayon lang ako nagkaproblem

ni hindi ka nga marunong magbaybay ng maayos [chewbacca]. kung gagamitin ko ang wikang Filipino gagamitin ko ng maayos [grape]. walang pinag-aralan kulang pa sa pagkalalaki, kawawa ka naman. kung magsasalita ka sa kahit anong wika, ayusin mo naman wag yung parang skwater.

i think it's around 2 lang. low action ako brad, i only have a tape measure here and i measured after the set up.. i could be wrong. basta alam na ng luthier ko. :lol:
i just dont understand why other people bring their guitars to the luthier kapag sira na. :? or some say "bakit ko dadalin guitar ko, di pa naman sira..", my personal opinon, to get the most of your instrument, bnew or pre-owned, it must be checked and set-up for optimal & quality performance.
btw, clarify ko lang ha na hindi action ang problem ng guitar mo bro, m just making it clear, i've just stated an example of my set up. hehehe.. :wink:
hmm, ill try to measure mine though (the action). never bought mine for tune up either. i guess, i have to now. pero pups ang probs ko. no good luthiers around here in the deep south. hehehe! davao, i mean.

@ Nong Strat->Korg DT-10->DOD FX-17-Looper->Channel A (Boss CS-2->BK Butler Tube Driver) ->Channel B (Bluberri Electronics the b*Rat) ->Zoom G2 (Soon to be replaced by a TC Electronic Nova Modulator)->EH Stereo Memory Man->EH Stereo Memory Man W/Hazarai
and soon to become a dual channel set-up as well Channel A->The chain above Channel B->Roland GR30 then both goes to the EH Stereo Memory Man w/Hazarai
@Jeibi16 the way you talk and the words you use show just how much of an uneducated retard you are. you probably couldn't afford special education for special children like you that's why you ended up that way. Nice set-up btw.
