    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.

    • @rockcastlemusic
      @rockcastlemusic 22 дні тому

      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.

    @andyhayes7828 26 днів тому

    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).

    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.

    • @rockcastlemusic
      @rockcastlemusic Місяць тому

      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.
