What pedals did u use to get that guitar sound
Fender YJM overdrive and just normal delay and reverb
@@rockcastlemusic thank you
Wow!! Will you be able to share the settings?
Sorry but I updated the firmware 3 weeks ago and lost all of my settings
Sick. Do you the amp settings
body thickness measurement?
🤩🤩🎸
Sweet job buddy 😃👍
HI there, what is this neck profile? seems U or C
what's the Nut width on those YJMs ?
Around 40 to 40.5 mm
@@rockcastlemusic Thanks! I assume you mean 41 to 41.5mm yeah?
I measured them, both are around 40.74 which is strange because i measured the usa one and it is 41.63
@@rockcastlemusic wow that's quite narrow! Thanks for taking the time to measure them
Yes it's narrow but the U shape neck makes it feel like it's wider than the usa one with the 41+ mm width.
Gorgeous guitars, the shallow YJM looks like it has large Xs on the fingerboard because of the grain, very cool.
I'm glad you noticed those patterns, I call that the X strat because of those pattens which I noticed when I bought it.
real rock n roll
Sounds great! Is that fretboard scalloped or not? I’m thinking about buying one.
It is scalloped but shallow that's why it's hard to see.
You can clearly hear it's the dimarzio, no mud.
Sorry man but the dimarzios have been replaced since 2013 on this guitar. These are now yjm fury pickups
I have a Sunburst CV '50s Strat and it is heavy too. I think it is pine.
Does your other Vintera II strat hum as much as this one? I know single coils do that but I would have expected more gain. Which of the two do you prefer...the maple or the rosewood? I know you have modified some things but I'm talking stock.
The hum on this one when I filmed it is probably due to the other cables and electronics surrounding me at that time. I like this one better than the one with the rosewood fretboard because this feels a lot comfortable to play which is always puzzling to me when I compare rosewood fretboard and maple fretboard, rosewood always feels bit thicker in feel to my hands.
Blom istimewa sama khaliphah😋😋😋
Are those Dunlop 6000 frets?
Sintoms 3mm Jumbo Fretwires
Sped up video.? 😅
😂 how did you know
HB, very well done like a pro. 👍 Will you scallop my strat neck for a price.?
is has Tall Narrow!! Player has medium jumbo.
I don't remember talking about the original fretwire on this guitar and I don't remember talking about the player series strat either.
@@rockcastlemusic You say in this video, that the guitar has medium jumbo. I am saying that guitar has tall narrow. What guitar has medium jumbo, is the player.
I don't remember that too, I do remember saying that I replaced the fretwire to jumbo.
Do you prefer your white affinity strat over this?
Yes. 👍
I think that the switch to the alder body is a big improvement. Fender ALWAYS used ash wood on anything 1970's (3 bolt, bullet rod, etc) on thier reissue's which was a turn off for me, because most of the best strats from the '70's ( imo '71/'72 up to around '75) are mainly alder. These Ventura 2 strats are essentially what I've always wanted in a reissue Fender product. I havent checked to see if the one's with the rosewood boards are authentically made though ('round lamenated' fretboard).
No they are not. These are now thin slab boards.
@@rockcastlemusic Thanks 👍
Looks like a great guitar to beat on until it gets broken in real good and starts to feel comfortable.
Great review. I was debating on getting a vintera strat and this explanation of the guitar is really helpful.
Thanks for watching.
Awesome!! How does it compare to the official YJM Strat?
Neck on this is thicker
is crazy how good the cd sounds comparing to the awful spotify version
CONGRATS MAN!!!!
Thanks
which strat color is this? looks nice
This is firemist gold.
is this maple fretboard finished ? i orderd a affinity tele maple fret.
No. Just on the headstock.
@@rockcastlemusic is itjust ok like this unfinished? or do you have to do something wjth that eventually..i am new with guitars so dont know so much yet
It's ok most of the time.
Wow! Great job 🎸✨️
Thanks a lot!
Cool , Yngwie album collection. I don't have the first disc, but i do have every other solo album. My favorite is " Marching Out " Check out Alcatrazz- No Parole for Rock N Roll, killer album.
Yeah.still looking for that cd too. Hoping I could find a new print
That is not an Affinity.
What is it then?
@@rockcastlemusic It’s a Squier Standard Stratocaster. It was the top level Squier at the time.
Squier standards had 22 frets. And the top models in those days were the deluxe models not the standard.
It’s absolutely an Affinity! It’s The latest model. I have the exact same guitar. Learn your guitars before you run your mouth next time. 😂
@@johnnyrockit8533 You seem like a lovely person.
Hy Bro Special greetings from Sunny München Steve WEA you have the best GUITARE EVER, TOP PERFORMANCE ORIGINAL YNGWIE TONE
Thank You.
Congratulations for your work, it's really good 🤟
Thank You
Hi Whats the brand of your pickups? Thanks
I mostly use YJM Fury sets but some have the dimarzio hs-3's
I love these kind of live improvisation videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching
Nice video! What pedal did you use for this?
I used spark amp on this. No pedals just my own settings.
Nice job! I missed what lacquer you used though.
Just normal high gloss canned spray paint.
@@rockcastlemusic I've tried clear Acrylic spray paint but with mixed results. Sometimes it can chip easily on necks. Maybe I just got unlucky with a bad batch. Thanks for sharing your video and knowledge. ☺👍
I have the same one, amazing axe.
Japan made and USA made... quality is the same?
In my opinion, built quality in japan and us is the same , materials-usa got better wood, craftsmanship-japan. Which guitar comes out of the factory with little to no flaws-japan.
Great! Blue M guitar
Another one ?? ;-)
Only thing you are missing is the Rolex and his undeniable hate for doughnuts 😆
😂 I don't think I'll be hating doughnuts anytime soon. Actually I have not had them for a year. I think 😂
@@rockcastlemusic 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent Champion 🎸
Very nice!! 🎸🔥
Thanks for watching.
Well done!
Thanks for watching.
I scalloped my own neck (maple fretboard) fairly shallow. Uniform scallops like Yngwie, but the scallops are more like his "play loud/duck" strat than his current USA signature model. Visually, I like the shallow-type scallops better, they give you just the same functionality with a look that doesn't look as "exaggerated" compared to the scallops on the YJM USA Strat.
I agree, I like shallower scalloping too because it takes less time and work for me. But this one here I only scalloped like this because of the thin fretboard it has. Usually they end up deeper in the process of polishing like the candy apple red one that I have. It also depends on what thickness a maple fretboard neck has and what kind of finish, if it's thin or thick and tinted or not. But when it comes to his signature models, I prefer the older shallow scalloped ones.
I love it, great scalloping !! .............👍🎸
Thanks for watching.
Holy hell you just causally rip! Chops. Thanks for doing this. I wish we didn’t have to watch the price of these drift from 1700 to 2400 within the space of a couple years. If it had stayed where it used to be I’d buy two. That goes for everything. Great playing.
I agree. Thanks for watching.
This thing is amazing! Could you make a full length video on it please?
Really nice video 👍
Thanks for watching.
