In January of 2025, Fender reintroduced a retired product line to the masses at The NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA. This new product line fills the void between Fender’s Player Ⅱ Series and their top of the line Squiers. So tell me… do you plan on getting one? Please note: This video was not sponsored by Fender.

In a sea of people discussing new guitar purchases, I'm of the mindset that used gear can be almost every bit as good, if not better. Especially if the used gear can be had for way below its fair market value. This is just a handful of examples I have to share regarding some used gear buys. **************************************** --- Product Links --- (Note - Some links may be affiliate links that share a small percentage of their profits with the 11th Fret, following a successful purchase.

It's official. After a long holdout by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC), they have announced their return to NAMM 2025 which should also include their other brands such as EVH, Charvel, Jackson, and Squier. We need to talk about why this is important, what the future holds for NAMM, and which other companies may be close to returning as well. **************************************** Stock footage provided by: www.pexels.com Movie clips: - Election.

The Gibson SG is an undisputedly iconic guitar design, loved by decades of working professionals. While there are some different iterations of the layout, one of the most popular is an SG loaded with a batwing pickguard. But that batwing design comes loaded with a ridiculous oversight that Fender has solved. **************************************** Product links: WD Music Custom Pickguard for Gibson SG 2017-2018: https://www.wdmusic.com/wd-custom-pickguard-for-gibson-2017-present-modern-sg-standard-details.html Note: My special instructions requested "Fender Shawbucker mount" for the .5" upper screwhole spread. If using the TV Jones adapters (not mentioned in this video, nor can I confirm they fit in the SG pickup cavities), make sure you request the appropriate screw hole distance as they're a little more spread apart than the Shawbucker style. Best to call WD Music to ensure the best fit for TV Jones adapters. Seymour Duncan 2-hole Leg Adapters: *These do not currently exist on the marketplace.

Sorry if you fell for my lil' April Fools 2024 prank. This video is just a followup to the April 1st, 2024 video, loosely discussing how we modified the SL54T into becoming the fictitious SL84FR.
