I absolutely love that Oxblood Standard. Oh the Pelham Blue...typing as I watch 😂 I loved the non-Custom Shop Gibsons. Those new Supremes look incredible with great appointments.
For me personally, I prefer Epiphone/Gibson. I had a beautiful white, Epiphone SG Special a year ago and it was my favorite guitar in general. Felt great to hold, powerful pickups, and hours of playing done on that thing. Recently got a 48th Street Fender Stratocaster. Was the only one I could find for around $500 with that Fender logo on it with a humbucker on the bottom. It's a good guitar, don't get me wrong, but I think I just prefer the feel of a Gibson. Fenders are great and I love them (especially the Jazzmaster), but Gibson will always be my go-to for guitars.
Fender basses are my favorite on the other hand. You just can't beat a nice, fully laminated neck of a Fender bass. Had the chance to play one like that at GC a few months ago and I'm still thinking about it to this very day haha!
Am I crazy in thinking recreating a crack in the headstock is taking things too far? Sunburst 61 journeyman strat with the flamed neck and dark rosewood fretboard was my favourite.
I wish that the chamfered neck heel for access, 22 frets, and locking tuners were available on non-CS Strats! The vintage-modern models look really nice!
Sounds like you'd love the Fender Ultra series, check out this awesome Strat: www.peachguitars.com/fender-american-ultra-stratocaster-maple-cobra-blue.htm?opt=41054
Hss Strat is the winner for me, I like modern strats and teles more than Vintage ones, wish to see more american ultra luxes in their custom Shop and masterbuilt versions, even with 24 frets, even with all the switching options of a Tyler Guitar, floyd rose, han pickup configuration. I love Fender but their highcend top of the line models are always paying tribute to vintage models.
What does ‘simulated that crack in the headstock’ mean? Is it purely an aesthetic thing or do they actually break it and glue the pieces back together again?
@@Squall6575 I figured someone would understand where I was going with that thought. Okay,..If someone actually played the guitar on a regular basis for 30 or 40 years,..I'm trying to imagine how it might look.
Unless they’re playing gigs with it under track lighting with sweat every night probably not much. I am curious about those destroyed looking necks tho 😂 can’t stand heavy aged ML necks feel like crap imo. I play ultra light, but If I went heavy aged I’d have to go M2M and get the light aged neck that is the sweet spot for feel.
@@stricknine8623 like shit is probably right, if my information is correct, these guitars also have the “repaired neck” of the original greeny, which makes it even less ideal for live playing for fear of breakage.
