I really like the dimarzio pickups. Best sound ever, anyway in my opinion. Love your videos man.

Peterson stroboclip, I think the rechargeable version came out earlier this year…

Great work touring the guitar shops around Tokyo. Love the advice and commentary, but your filming and editing sucks - slow down, you can’t really take anything in as you’re panning too fast! Sort it out for the next round 😂

My god, that sound is amazing. Total Shoegaze, Cocteau Twins, Robin Guthrie vibe. Love it. I’m sold. Thanks for doing this dive.

Nobody needs chorus effect 😅

A Fender jazz body and neck with and PJ pickups is my perfect bass, but I can't stand the hard edge on the Aerodynes.

The audio interface is a great shout, just to get some newbie guitarists to mess around with playing their guitar into their PC/Mac, or like myself, into an iPad Pro. 👍

Not probably the best way to highlight the jc amps; a piece of retro gear thats overpriced does not contribute to how good the jc 120 for example is. You can get a just-as-good chorus pedal for or under a hundred bucks. So therefore the jc:s ce-1 topography feature is more like "a hundred dollars worth of efx in ur amp" if we are being reasonable. There is lots and lots and lots of great sounding gear out there, you dont need the most iconic pieces to be reaching those lush, beautiful, rich and coloured sounds

the best gift: a new japan strat of aflashfloodofgear 👍 jaja

My pick is a metronome!! I have a Wittner Taktell, I love it! I can’t believe how under appreciated the poor little 😢 metronome is, it can make you so much better, it’s fun! A lot of bang ❗️ for your buck 🎄

It’s a stunt. Guitars are so overpriced. How can anybody afford them in today’s economy? We asked something if they closed all the toilet paper factories and these clowns got a hold of toilet paper. How much would they charge for a roll?😊

Great suggestions. The Boss pedals are something you can’t go wrong with. Also some capos, Fret Wraps/Wedges, Gear bags from D’addario, nice new pedal board, etc. The Roadie 3 Tuner is a personal fave of mine (it goes on sale for holidays and should end up around $100), which I use daily for tuning, practice, and at my workbench for restrings. It does so many things and works standalone so the app isn’t required.

Damn! I missed this again!

I have a 2016 Gibson Les Paul traditional brand new mint condition cherry burst paid $2400. From sweet water music store ..USA I wonder what it’s worth now.?

You forgot a tuner pedal! But nice recommendations!!

All hail the supremacy!✌️

enjoyed this one good picks

Iam gonna present myself with a new set of locking tuners and a complete set of Solderless electronics. My 15 year old "what am i doing" soldering job has it's problems and some parts are not working correctly anymore (like the switch causing the signal to go out).

Wish i would have gotten one of these back in the day..not of fan of the s.e.'s

@a flash flood of gear- are you talking new pedals or...

As always great video! Under $100 guitar gift I'd like is a setup with strings from my local shop (we all have a guitar we'd like to have professionally set up).

May I add Guitar Strings. I spend more money on string every year than any other accessory actually necessity than any other item. 99.99 Gift of string will help the annual cost and would be greatly appreciated.

Two comments. 1 Who will want a 15yo tone master? 2 Isn't there just something about owning valve amps?

First time subscriber 🤙🏻 best guitar video on KZbin, love attention to detail

I had a friend who switched between a Marshall JCM 800 and a Roland Jazz Chorus for his cleans. It was a cool set-up for the early 90’s. I just use a Boss Super Chorus and have it dialed it pretty sweet.

Bandit 65 is the best SS amp period. IMO ahahaha

that silverburst les paul with the art is beautiful

So many guitar, so little hit song.

What about PJ?

I love your channel and how you take us to the guitar shows and give us the details of the instruments. But you have to lower the volume of the musuc you add to your videos. It's hard to hear and concentrate on what you are saying.

No Squier ‘51’s?!

Like your not a child now? Your what 26? My daughter is 23, still a baby. She just graduated from Berklee College of Music in. Boston. We are from Orlando. I moved with her to Boston in '21 bc she has a chronic illness.. She's a great musician. Plays 12 instruments, 40 genres. Violin and viola are her prime.

I own a Tokai tele in pink paisley exactly like the Fender version made in the same factory from 1984.

That's crazy that a Roland product is hiding inside a Roland product!

I had a Rolland JC120 way back in the day, that thing was powerful, it could get scary loud, I don’t think I ever even turned it up past 25%, I know I never went past 50%,,,,,,I can feel the Spinal Tap joke coming up,so, no, I would have never dared turn it up to 11…😵‍💫🥶⚡️🏴‍☠️👀🤓🫨🤯

Tube is definitely warmer and seems like it's not sterile like the solid state.

I liked the butterscotch Telecaster ( I had a '68 light blonde Tele). I also liked the double cutaway Les Paul. I liked the red '66 or '67 Mustang (my first electric was a Daphne blue '66 Mustang).

I sold off all my electric guitars and basses about a year ago. Metallica didn't call, and neither did Maiden, so I finally gave up. I only waited 54 years, but the wife convinced me that we needed the money so..... On the guitar side of things, I got rid of my B.C. Rich Bich 10 string, my Jackson Kelly, Washburn V and a few others. I decided to keep one of my basses just in case I got a hair up my ass and wanted to play. I wanted to keep the best one, and sold off the others. I sold the Ibanez, the Fender and the Jackson. I kept the ESP LTD (Gen 1) Tom Araya 4 string. Believe it or not, that $500 bass played better than anything else I had (and some of them were well over $1000 way back when I purchased them). Plus, it looked way cooler than anything else I had...except maybe the 10-string Bich. Point is, some companies make "budget" guitars and basses that play better than you would expect, and they have more features with better fit and finish than most of us will ever need. That's definitely the case with ESP's LTDs. I also played, and was really surprised with what Yamaha and Schecter are calling their low to mid range guitars. You can definitely find what you want, for the price you want, as long as you show some patience and do a little shopping.

Hi Alex I really enjoy your videos Right now I'm watching you in Japan awesome I have a question I have a takamine gd93ce acoustic and it's whistling I have this question for your tech I took one set of shims out should I try to put one set back in thanks

Not Philadelphia, that’s OAKs Pennsylvania

3:34 Squier Contemporary guitars are ridiculously underrated! The ones they make nowadays come with roasted maple necks, graphite nuts, and highly versatile pickups!!! 12:47 We definitely need more from non Fender and Gibson brands! It would be a cool video if you listed your favorite non-Fender/Gibson guitars or brands!

That chorus was glorious in the JC120.

Wood advice to the younger folks if you do not like how the jazz chorus sounds you can replace the speakers. It’s actually cheaper and easier than you think

I watch all of your guys videos! I find this super entertaining, always love the guitars you guys have on the channel! “You love to see it”

Don't forget the CE-2 Waza. The CE-1 and CE-2 had extremely similar circuits. To the point that you can switch to the CE-1 on the Waza pedal.

The AVRI Teles are such good guitars. The avri ‘62 bridge pickups are great

This format is way better

.. and the Kay / Univox Effector is gone!

I've had my JC 77 from late 80's or Very early 90's all made in Japan and still is solid as a Rock and still have folks asking me what Pedal you using?? No Pedal!! Just My Roland Jazz Chorus 😎 Love that smp

Omg dude, how do you ever leave the house ? I’m dying to see your personal collection.Lol. Every guitar is sick. One after the other.
