I still have my father's G50A from 1966 that he bought when we arrived Down Under. An absolutely dependable and fine sounding instrument. Yes....I refurbished the tuners, after all I was gifted the instrument in '95, but folks from that generation smoked as they drank in the kitchen as the Missus ran the the stove. After 30 years of airborne grime the guitar needed TLC but is quite a respectable right to this day.

I have a G-250S which is a step down I guess, but I enjoy it. Mine has a very dark/black ebony fingerboard. The fingerboard in G-255S in this video appears much lighter in color.

The folks at Yamaha added a layer of paint or stain to it. Before the refret, my neck looked totally black and when I sanded it, I realised they did it. However, I liked the way it looked and left it that way. Enjoy your guitar!

See, the hardest EVH songs can only be accomplished on a Kramer. If you use anything else, you cannot quite get there. I’m not talking just about the sound. I’m talking about an unknown element that makes it so you can get it just right.

@doctor7music91 6 күн бұрын

Well, I don’t necessarily agree. I think a single humbucker in the bridge and a Floyd is all that is needed and there are many guitars out there that would work well. Thanks for the comment and for listening. Hope you enjoyed it, cheers!

@@doctor7music91 I’m _half_ kidding because I got into VH when I was very young. Jump grabbed me, but 5150 blew my mind. I went out and spent all of the money I saved up on a couple of Kramers, thinking they were the same as Ed’s and Sam’s. Being so young, it didn’t occur to me that there’s were not what was sold in store, especially Ed’s. Those two are what I still play today. (One of them doesn’t even have a Floyd on it 😂). Tangentially, after Ed went forward and left Kramer behind, and eventually made his own brand, I still hear something different. I know 99.9999992% of people feel that what he ended up making something way way way superior, there’s still a sound that I like better with his old guitars. I guess my ear was conditioned at that age to love what I heard on 5150 and OU812.

@foley15136 5 күн бұрын

@@doctor7music91 I have a question for you that’s way off-topic; during the 5150 tour Sammy played a lot of guitar. Especially so Ed could play his keyboards live. Over time, Sam was allowed to play guitar less and less. All the way to a point where Sam could only play guitar on his solo part of the concert for “Eagles Fly”. They got to that point where the keyboard/piano songs were backing tracks. Something that back on the 5150 tour Al criticized heavily other bands that did that. Why do you suppose they went there? Did Sammy want to just be out there with only a microphone the whole time? Or did Eddie not want Sammy playing guitar anymore so he’d be the only one? It’s hard for me to imagine Sammy wanting to put his guitar away completely. What’s your opinion as to why that ended up happening?

@@foley15136 hahaha, for me, the live show of that album totally blew my mind!! New Haven Live Without a Net… nothing will ever beat that: the energy, tones, song craft. I still see young me mesmerised in front of the TV watching that VHS over and over.

@doctor7music91 5 күн бұрын

@@foley15136 good question and I’m afraid of not knowing the answer. Maybe Sam felt more freedom by not playing the guitar and the monitoring system was better then, so they could just play to the click and use backing tracks. Sammy still is a decent player and I am sure he could have kept playing, and I don’t think Eddie ever saw Sammy as a competitor, lol.

I will soon upload another update! Aquila’s owner sent me a set of the new chemical combination that makes it less prone to breakage, and so far it’s working: I have had them for almost three months now and there are no signs of any damage whatsoever. He is also working on a new formula with no squeak that in my opinion is excellent for flamenco (black in colour), as it is bright and loud, but a bit less warm than the white sugar.

Do the strings not move around on the bridge when doing big bends? I cant see there being much pressure to keep the strings in place. And a wraparound bridge doesn't have deep slots to keep the strings in place

@doctor7music91 13 күн бұрын

You can make deeper slots on the wraparound bridge if you want, but I don’t see the need as it never got out of the slot while bending, and I have done so pretty wild bendings on this guitar.
