User experience : 1. I bought the Junior after comparing to standard and custom shop Gibson counterpart. Way better than standard in both playability and sound. Not better than the CS in sounds (the CS sounded warmer, not muddier, and no way to reach that sound rolling down treble on sb55..). But 4 grands for a single trick pony was not OK for me. 2) bought sb 59v black varnish after comparing among several of them AND after comparing with two Heritage 150 artisan aged. I picked the one I liked more among the Eastman BUT all sounded And felt really different (handmade!).... But again, one of the heritage was simply divine in sound (clear like the Eastman, but more vintagy and dynamic sound).. BUT, again, 3.8 K vs 2.3 K. And heritage weighted more than 4 kg where Eastman was 3.5!! And the frets of heritage was very thin and uncomfortable. So, if I could afford, in terms of sound : Eastman could not be my choice.

Korina body?! 😲

No. But not because they aren't great guitars. Just a strat guy

And a lovely amp to complement the lovely guitar ❤

The three are great but i like the Standard...

Im looking at what looks just like my old 335 from 1982.

Thanks for side by side comparison for the tones which are supposed to be the same. It seems existence of the body pickup makes the sound of an American one fuller and to my ears better, Player is bit thinner. Just wondering if adding touch of reverb would fix it? Also not sure if that difference is what I want to pay more for, especially that I prefer the replaceable battery in a Player... ofc American can be modded to add replaceable battery too, but that's extra cost, time and effort.

Gotta put some power behind it to play like srv

In love immediately with this guitar 🎸 ❤❤❤❤❤

Strat's neck, 2 and 4 positions vs the Tele's bridge and middle. That's the choice.

Playing it wrong 😊

Right now, my Tele's being used far more than my Strat. Both are great guitars.

I don't know if it sounded better in the room, but over you tube it comes out as sounding tinny. I'm sure that Roger Mayers fuzzes sound way better than this demo suggests (otherwise be wouldn't have stayed in business for the past 50 years).

Love both - Tele has a special place for what it is and what it can do, but to the Strats benefit it is more modular and is more comfortable with its comfort carves. They both also have very distinctive and unique characteristics.

Tele. Not even close.

Strat. Always the Strat.

Do you sell these guitars?

Everyone buys warm 60s output pickups for SRV tones but it’s the mid 50s brighter quackier pickups exactly like these that really get you there.

Cat scratch fever next.

Same price as Gibson, and no future value assured, not worth it,. i'll go with Heritage , more expensive but reliable and great future value guitars.

trick question,the answer is Jaguar

How much is that orange guy?

Play fight fire with fire!

Научись играть медиатором! Благодарю! ❤

Sweet guitar! I just picked one up myself in trans blue. It was my unicorn guitar. Good stuff 🤘🏼

Nice guitar, not worth $4700 dollars. Prices are just stupid ridiculous.😢

Oh what a treat! Thank you Martin and Sam.

That 700-1000$ range, Eastman over Taylor or Yamaha??

Fact: shitty blues background music is the only thing you're allowed to play on guitar.

Quality 🌻

I would not be an aimer .

What a fantastic video as always Sam have you a great weekend also happy first day of February from Canada ❤😊

Strat! Because Jimi played it upside down and strung backwards!

nearly any guitar should work if you know your EQ

Thats a nice tone

Give me a gibson sg and a USA tele and im set man.

Eastman p’ups sound twice as hot as the others… seems like they’re in a different class, more high gain sounding

IMO the Telecaster is more versatile, if you cant decide, get a Nashville style in order to get the Strat sound as well as the Tele Twang! I have both models but gravitate to my Telecasters more often than not.

should have been titled, YOUR favorite 5 riffs

All the other pickups and positions are discussable but the bridge Pickup on a tele is the best single coil bridge pickup ... no doubt

Just one more pedal hehe😃

Each to their own, Strat for me, I never really got on with the Tele

Ахуенно

Face it. Nothing less than a grand sounds really good. Just ok. Of course, I’m a lefty. I began suspecting MANY years ago, that we get inferior products. I’ve owned over a hundred guitars since 1968. I currently own 35. They are the good ones I lucked up on. (Remember, leftys can’t try before they buy).

Hey Christopher Layton 👋🏻

3:20 What's the name of the color of this T486 model? Is it "Classic Amber"?
