I believe it’s mostly aesthetic! I love the look of the big ones - I’ve never compared the two, but since they match transistors by ear each pedal can have some variation!
I hear tell Roy had a teal colored Strat that his daughter Debbie inexplicably painted black. I don't what became of it. The Lanham's were family friends. Roy was a trip.
I think both sound really good! I think both of them have settings they'd be really useful in! I think personally I liked the reissue more.. something about it
Still an sg , seams they put les Pauls name On with out his permission and had to change that when he retaliated / ie demanded they take his name off … so sure it’s a no name guitar with LP decal it should never have had
Yeah, *technically* it’s a Les Paul model, but obviously that changed shortly after when it became known as the SG. A cool part of Gibson history - definitely an awesome guitar!
@@RiggsTaylor True True. Even when Gibson reissues these guitars from this year, they put "Les Paul" on the truss rod cover. It might not be what Les Paul wanted, but it is correct.
@@RiggsTaylorThank you so much for answer. One more Q, I'm planing to buy this mono rail small and a truetone cs 12 power supply. Do you think a truetone adapter socket will fit the front cavity of the mono rail pedalboard without drilling the mono pedalboard and put the bracket on it?
I have had two cases so far replaced by Pelican. After emailing them and them reviewing the case they make you go through a small amount of things like drilling a hole and providing pics and writing your case number in metallic sharpie on the case. No problems at all. Customer service has been great. This has made me brand loyal. I own 15 cases from them and also use them for moving music gear. Sorry to hear you were treated like this. From my past experience Pelican have been nothing but great.
would have preferred you to played it straight without all the reverb and effects from the amp. then i could see the difference £30,000 or so made to the sound my les pauls make, which im sure are pretty much the same across the board.
That’s fair! I generally approach demos the way I would play the guitar if I played it in a real life scenario - with a little reverb and overdrive. In future demos I’ll do a bit more clean playing across the pickups! You’ll dig next weeks ‘61 Les Paul Custom - I did just that 👍🏻
I'm from Malaysia, and I would say anything in that price range is something that I think we can't complain about. It HAS to be great. Knowing this is from Suhr, I'm sure it definitely is gonna be great even out of the box.
Absolutely. Both of mine I have bought used, but they’re incredible guitars - and I’ve played a LOT of vintage and new Fenders and fender-style guitars.
@RiggsTaylor yeah that baffles me when it comes to Fender and even Gibson. Not trying to put them down, but when Suhr, Tyler, or even Tom Anderson can deliver great playability out of the gate, why can't the aforementioned brands offer the same considering they're charging for the same price, right?
@@kma86 a lot of it is size and quality control - hard to scale for sure. Gibson style set-neck guitars are also more labor intensive to build, which means they’ll always be more than a comparable level Fender/Fender style guitar. That said, that’s one of the benefits of going boutique! I really like Frank Brothers and Giordano for set neck guitars, and obviously Suhr for a Fender alternative 🤘🏻
I don’t think age equates to knowledge. I have the benefit of working with one of the most knowledgeable vintage guitar dealers in the country, so I’ve played a lot of “Golden Era” Gibson’s and learned a lot about them. I still have a lot to learn though!
Joe Bonamassa, Jason Isbell, Slash, and most well know guitarists would beg to differ. This guitar is 1/4 the price of a Burst, with a lot of the same specs (extra pickup and no maple cap notwithstanding) That said, I know a ton of working class musicians that play vintage guitars - Tom Bukovac, Corey Congilio, etc. With the cost of living in Nashville, there aren’t a lot of people dropping $75k on an instrument if they can’t play it.
@@RiggsTaylor Unfortunately the cabs are not AC so no Matchless illumination . Pulled two apart over the years to replace bulbs . The light box holds 4-5 and the chassis about 6 . Beautiful construction :-)
I see where you’re coming from - obviously you can get a TS808 cheaper, but knowing Cornerstone they use the best switches/parts/etc. AND you can customize the color/faceplate/knobs which equates to more cost. Since it’s basically a dual overdrive I think the price is competitive in that regard. Even a standard overdrive from bigger companies (Walrus Audio, JHS) is at least $200 🤷🏻♂️
Yea I know it's not cheap, but as correctly Riggs says, you can actually see the new Antique like a dual-TS, a real 2 channel/2 pedals kind of TS. If you see it this way, 299$ is not that bad for two pedals that just take the space of only one pedal 😊
You get three (!) pedals in one (overdrive, gain boost and volume boost) And it is not only a tube screamer clone but a great low to midgain overdrive that not only can sound like a tube screamer. Add a classy-timeless, confident and unique italian design (like a Vespa ;-)), clever switching system and…for most of us important, too: You save a lot of space on your pedalboard as it is like three single pedals :-D So "$300 for another tube screamer" doesn't sum it up correctly ;-)
lovely chord riff!, I did a set up on my buddy's Jet EE, fell in love w/ it and ended up keeping it for a week. haha, took me a couple years to find the right one, but I now have a green jet EE. They just play like butter, and really are versatile! Thx for the post, just subscribed
A bit off topic, but *damn!!* That intro music was *amazing!!* Big fan of the Rhodes, and it blends superbly with this guitar. Almost had a Quincy Jones vibe to it. I'd love to hear the whole thing.
I won’t go into detail because I’m not a builder, but I’ve had many conversations with various builders on the subject. Just because it’s an NKT275 doesn’t mean it’s any good - there are a few measurements you need within a decent range for a fuzz pedal. Then you need 2-3 per fuzz close in that range (depending on the circuit) to make it sound good. On top of all that, there are WAY more fake NKT275’s (and other popular transistors) than real ones. I have a friend that builds high end fuzzes (not Isle of Tone) that said for every 100 of a transistor you’re lucky to get 4-6 matched pairs. That said, I’ll let any builders chime in below!
@@RiggsTaylor just say it! it was horrible! its more like a build up to the moment you need the brands reputation and they let you down that's an ultimate betrayal! otherwise what's the difference between premium brands and Chinese products?
just because you can afford it doesnt make it ok this is why consumers need to anker down on companies as no company (most) take your money as fast as they can but afterwards they kick back and not comply to you. so why pay them?
