Guitar Is Not Dead - Technology Will Save The Future Of Guitar 

Even from just 15 years back, Epiphone and Squier’s offerings sucked.

They had to go back to “vintage” techniques because they weren’t selling anything with the “modern” crap. The cycle had run out. They went from having great building materials to use unknowingly in the 50’s to pure crappy zinc and crap electronics everywhere in a few decades in the name of profit by business executives who don’t give a crap about music. The public got smarter and informed and won’t spend their hard earned money on crap anymore so they were forced to incorporate some vintage quality of a better generation or die. Going back to vintage materials aka 50’s is the key to musical quality. The real tragedy is that we have lost the vintage processes of making metal components, correct alloys in the wire and hardware. Very few have taken the time to archive or figure this out. But some have. Even though it’s very complicated and we may never know everything about metals produced back then, they found the magic, and I hope we can preserve some recipes for posterity and be able to reproduce what they created then forever. Who know someone could create better metals. It’s obvious though we should start with the winning combinations of the 50’s as a launching point, not the degenerated modern crap components of the 80’s til today. Cheap modern mass produced crap only will inspire more crap

@@charioteer88 Who sells the best guitar electronics and etc? I recently put an Emerson blender, a 10-way switch, a Qijack jack, a Seymour Duncan custom shop Billy Gibons1400 Telecaster bridge pickup, and two Jimi Hendrix single coils in my Ameican made Strat, but my Ibanez RG loaded Ibanez GIO sounds better... I just noticed your post is two years old, lol. C`est la vie! Thanks and good luck!

Dude, I hope you have an awesome year! Loved ones who have passed are never truely gone when we remember the time we spent together with them.

I love the surf, dude!

@@caseylee12 Me too. The Surfrajettes are fun to watch/hear.

You never, ever can crank it up, that's thing Bro! Medium-Big amps are too loud at 2!

Feeling the pain fellow-leftie

Correct me if im wrong, cant you just flip the order of the barrels and then flip the barrels themselves on the screws? I dont see why not? Seems like using a righty TOM, just flip the bridge and the saddles, in this case just the saddles themselves and the order of the saddles no?

@@danterosales6985 not neccesarily. I called Fender directly, and "bent" or angled saddles are flat on the bottom and can't just be flipped like I had hoped. At least the bent saddles they had in house were. And the ones that are cut on each side with two angles are not cut on the underside and cant be flipped either. When I called fender, and ran through all these options, they said unfortunately I was just out of luck on getting something compensated. My only hope would be to get a new bridge that could take individual saddles for perfect intonation. Only problem there, the angle of the bridge pickup is STILL lefty specific, and finding a 3 screw lefty bridge plate was damn near impossible. Fender only had 3 left in stock from their American Standard series from the mid 2000s.. Got it in. Tried it. And what do you know, the pick up from solo was milimeters off and wouldn't fit. So unless I got new pick ups too, I was screwed. Fender was amazing on the refund and through the whole process to help me so much with a Tele copy. Basically being okay with competition asking for help. Finally I had an epiphany just last week and bought 2 Wilkinson compensated saddle sets so I could make my own configuration, and I'm going to send back the "extra set". And I don't feel bad about it. They should just package a lefty configuration. Long story, its been hell figuring this lefty tele out! But Fender really won points in my book. Gibson should some some notes!! Haha
