No,
I'm playing Italy. Shouldn't Shouldn't
be playing that song.
Shouldn't Shouldn't be doing this.
Hey everyone, Chris here
and my name is Guom. Welcome to Tommen's
Guitars and Bases and to our review of
the Fender American Ultralux Vintage
Corona California 60s Stracaster and
Assaulted Models. How are you doing? Wow,
Wow,
this is an interesting one. So,
actually, I asked G to not even look,
not even touch these guitars until this
jam. So, the intro jam was his first
interaction with that guitar or any of
these ultralux vintage models cuz I
wanted his first honest fullon hot take
on what is this thing and how they feel.
What is the first thing that strikes you?
you?
It's it first thing that I thought was, "Huh,
"Huh,
this is weird."
Now, let me tell you why. Um, it's
it's
it feels and it plays and it smells and
it looks
good. It smells good
like a custom shop. Yeah,
Yeah,
it is a Fender Custom Shop Ser cast,
but it's not.
But it's not
because the neck is it's not right. It's
matte. This is not a custom shop neck.
And it's got locking tuners and it's got
a switcheroo that I noticed way too late
and did not use. And it's got the big
knobs, not the regular fender knobs. And
and you know, the block saddles and the
two modern features. Yeah.
And the rounded it's it the recessed
heel. So sorry. Um Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's just the the the
By the way, look at this.
Yeah, it's it's pretty wild. I um it's I
I stand by what I said. It's weird in a
in a great playing way. I think it
sounded really good, too. I
I want to get deeper into the weeds on
that one, but uh
what is it?
So, it's really interesting. It's to me
it's an absolute that love child of
Fender USA standard production and
Fender USA custom shop. It's not a
custom shop at all. It's made in the
normal US factory in in Corona, but it
has the vibe and a lot of features that
you'll only see on custom shops. It's
It's much more modern than your regular
sort of reissue custom shop model. What
are we talking about? This tread or
telly or anything, but but there are
like it feels like it's an old guitar
that you then over the years modded
and you know slim down the neck to this
what this thin neck really thin neck
which is called a modern D. Um swap the
frets the original frets to stainless
steel which these are.
I I thought so. Yeah, they sound
the original knot, you know, got lost or
broke and then you replaced that with
Tusk. Then the original bridge wasn't
too stable or whatever and you went for
a two uh point trim instead or you
didn't like the the sidewalls of the
ashtray and went went for something
that's a bit more adjustable with the
independent um saddles and like no side
road access.
Exactly. Like like or the the pickups
which are not noiseless. So these could
be your original pickups. These are the
pure vintage pickups, but you installed
the S1 switch, which does different
things on the Strat and the Telly, but
much simpler than on like the the Ultra,
like the the more modern series of
Fenders. So,
so you truly have no respect for vintage
instruments. Like, come on.
Feels like it used to be an old vintage
guitar that you modded to to make more,
you know, compound radius 10 to 14 inch,
etc. Like much more playable, much more
modern. 100% first time is having a
light aged uh like weather checked. It
is weather checked in a non-custom shop
US uh production. This is not aged. It's
just that it's full of cracks and the
metal parts are not super super shiny.
They're not like rusty at all, but they
look like they're not brand new.
So, it is like a really cool
in between really. I've never seen
anything like this before. And it's it's
not going to be the the more affordable
US model at all. So, you know, that
needs to be said.
Then again, it's like it's like
buying a custom shop pretty much.
That's it. Like, how much is a custom
shop nowadays? Like four, five?
Depends on what you expect, but Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. [Music]
[Music] [Applause]
[Applause] [Music]
[Music] Nice.
Nice.
It had to be messed up. Hey, did you
notice how I stayed clean the whole time?
time?
I am I am shocked. I I I don't think I breathe.
How does it feel? Does the neck and the
the frets make it feel more modern or is
it like still just a
Definitely it's but then again feel more
modern is a bit of a
you know my it's the neck is fairly thin
but it's not that far off from most 60s
Strat I've ever played you know.
True though. Yeah, that's very true.
Actually, a lot of vintage guitars have
thinner necks than we think or than I
thought for sure. 60 Strat most notably
have generally very thin neck. So that
this is not super far off from a vintage
size neck, but the frets feel different.
The the it's I don't know. There's
there's there's there's a resolutely
more modern sort of vibe to it all, but
I think it's more the visual impression
of it. The the way you visualize the
fret ends very rounded. It just feels
right. It feels nice. I uh I like it.
That's my hot take.
I know controversial.
He likes it.
I likes the strat.
So controversial.
What? Who? Who would have thought? Crazy.
Crazy.
That's so crazy.
Do Do you think Chris is going to like
the telly?
Leave a comment below. Let's see. [Music]

chance jazz. Dude, Chris likes the
tally. Oh my god. Who saw that one
coming? Total shocker. Yeah, that's the
thing. It's like I I don't even It's I
feel like uh like like in a weird state
of mind where you're like you cannot
really tell what's real and what's the
dream. It's like like like
he just turned this video into a tool song.
song.
Come on man.
I'm totally fine with that. In some
moments it's like, "Oh yeah, it's a it's
like one of the ultraas or the modern,
you know, normal USA telly's." And then
in some moments like, "Ah, this is like
my telly, just a ' 60s version of it,
like with the rose with boards and
everything." It's like,
it's a custom shop. It's
it's such a weird in in the best
possible way. Like a weird experience.
You turns out he was right at the
beginning of this video. We should swap
guitars with two two other models. [Music]
Heat [Music]

[Music] [Applause]
Mama. Mama,
that one's got chest hair. Hey, what?
I don't know. I don't know how to phrase
it, but is it okay to say
for a second? I was looking for the Oh
my god. Where?
No, that one's got a bit of a
You know, it drives a cool car. This one.
one.
That's nice, man.
This is the Magnum of guitars. Imagine.
Imagine.
It's pretty great. Uh, honestly, no.
It's It's uh uh It feels very It feels
like the other one, but yeah, just just
a little bit more oomph. So, what does
the S1 switch does on that one?
Uh probably what does
What does it does?
What does it does?
What What did it What did it Did
when I when I did
what it would
it would it would Yes. What What does
the S1 switch do on my guitar?
Ah, so now we're talking English. Yes.
Yeah. It splits the humbucker, I guess.
I mean, that's what I would want on that guitar.
guitar.
It'll be clearer if I volume up. [Music]
[Music]
Indeed, it do.
Indeed. It Okay. 50s 50s ultra looks
With this guitar, because it's a 50s,
the neck feels a little strange.
Oh, yeah.
Which is a personal preference because
if you like thinner, modern, more out of
the way necks, this is your chance to
get something that looks and plays and
sounds so vintage otherwise, but without
the chunky, you know, U50s unck neck.
So, um, it's just a a really nice and
thin modern D, which to me is a little
strange on the 60s. It's like, yes, please.
please.
Yeah, it feels it feels more natural,
but yeah. No, I understand. It's uh it
is nice to my my my big takeaway is the
pickups because, you know, noiseless
have made a lot of progress, but they're
still noiseless.
They just sound different. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
love the sound of pure vint pure vintage
and um the the fact that you can have that
that
sound with that playability and the
comfort cuts and all of that because the
the telly is notably just like a coffee
table but this one is a refined coffee table.
table.
This is very far from coffee table. This
is like a a high-tech coffee table.
It's really nice and just yeah finding
those appointments with that kind of
pickup selection and and sound pallet is
uh is beautiful. Also really nice touch
with the the steel settles on the 60s
and the the brass block.
It's it's nice. It's very nice.
Really cool stuff. Let us know in the
comments below what you think about the
uh the new series. Um yeah,
finally have stainless steel threads. So
what are you complaining about now? Huh?
You're going to find something else to
complain about. You finally got those
frets. Gosh darn it.
Gosh darn it. Yeah, that's the thing.
Yeah, I mean they do feel wonderful.
Super smooth. So, you know, there
there's that and really nice stuff. Let
us know what you think in the comments
below and see you in another video.
