B&G Standard Little Sister - If Electric Guitars Were Made in the 1920's, They Would be a B&G!

[@sdy30]

I bought one of these (P90 version) from Andertons about a year ago. I’m lucky enough to have a small collection of guitars, a LP, SG, Tele, Strat, etc, and all of those are good examples of the type. Out of all of them, the B&G has become my ‘go to’ guitar. It’s got a unique character and sound that I just don’t get with any of the others. It just puts a smile on my face every time I play it and I end up just sat playing for ages! For me, it brings out the bluesy, rootsy (if that’s a word!) thing. Sounds great clean or overdriven. Well worth checking out if you want something different to the standard things from the usual manufactures. I’m very pleased I went for it.

[@HeelBJC]

Just a "small" 6+ guitar collection... Many are lucky to have more than just an electric and an acoustic.

[@TheEthanCowley]

I personally have a strat, a gibson lp and my little sister with p90s, and I too am always drawn to playing my b&g. Such an amazing instrument, recently purchased the solid brass bridge for it

[@koenroels4549]

I am in for one! Question: did you try one with humbuckers too? I play jazz blues and pop. P90 or humbucker version?

[@eyeceeyooh]

is it a hollow body or semi-hollow?

[@LGuitarB]

B&G, the only company that manages to make commercials that are a thorough pleasure to watch!

[@SDS-ff8ed]

I'd love to see Pete and Lee do an album together where they both just play back and forth on on jam tracks. I love your guys sound when you get together. Its always so mellow and flavorful.

[@cricketbat09]

Fantastic old style design. The guitars look and sound amazing

[@chutneylanger]

i bought a custom little sister 6 years back. Waited patiently for the build fed only by occasional progress pics. Love it now. Beautiful guitar and the neck p90 sounds awesome. Nice thing that ;)

[@buckers3672]

That might just be my favourite ever Andertons’ intro jam.

[@cravertom]

got my lil sister in 2018....to play it will change your mind about what you thought you liked about your current rig....I have P90's and I love it....

[@paulgordon6949]

Nice. Good to see something a little different (even if they're not much different).

[@JEUXolim]

Goodness me I love these. All that’s happened is that I now have a great desire to add this versatile instrument to the growing list.

[@patrickcarroll1754]

These guitars are just plain wonderful

[@Daveskater]

They look like someone's just opened an old chest and found the electric guitar that Robert Johnson played. Sounds mega too! Very cool.

[@tomaszbaran]

Not for me. Rustic looking is one thing, but a functional headstock design is a must. There is too much unnecessary compromise, nut tension and rubbing on wood with that one.

[@steveDC51]

I have one and your are right, the string angle at the headstock looks awful. But, honestly it does not cause any problems that I have noticed and I have had it for.a year now and play it a lot..

[@merbertancriwalli8622]

sometimes it's not only form over function, but it just the fact that those string angles are fugly. Not for me...

[@steveDC51]

@@merbertancriwalli8622 Cannot disagree re it being ugly, but having said that it is a fantastic guitar to play. Since I have had it I have played it more than any of my others . Something compulsive about it. But that string routing does look awful.

[@merbertancriwalli8622]

@@steveDC51 you seem to be all over this - are you a plant

[@steveDC51]

@@merbertancriwalli8622 No. I just really like this guitar. You can’t see the headstock when you play it.

[@arjgro]

I subscribed mainly for the jam sessions. Love it! My little sister all mahogany has Kikbucker pickups (P90-ish but no hum whatsoever) and they sound amazing. And yes, I love the V-profile neck too. Mine came in a private build case, which is brown leather instead of black I'm really curious about their upcoming Helena models! Hoping for some stratty vibes from them...

"The Rock Slide" Invented by Mark Morse in Spokane Washington USA. Mark was a great guy and had an amazing music store. I miss him a lot. Thanks for talking Mentioning The slide!

[@mairenared]

Saw a video of them being made and loved the sound. I saw Bob Margolin a while back and he had abandoned his favourite blackguard Tele for one of these so the guys at B&G must be doing something right 😃

[@LGuitarB]

Very nice playing by both of you

[@gernotreinheimer4385]

I always like Pete pronouncing " Humbugger ". Reminds of good ole Johnny Winter´s " You´re humbuggin´me ". You guys are smashing, i enjoy your channel, humorous and delightful. By the way, i never owned a Les Paul and would clearly choose a Little Sister over it. They look so stunning vintage and sound ***k´n good. Only my two pence.

[@pieve5516]

It comes down to inspiration. That guitar would inspire me to play the blues a bit differently. On the list.

[@Sorakorra]

I love Danish Pete's playing way more than Chapman's. Personal opinion

[@SuperEdge67]

I agree. Pete’s a more tasteful player. Chapman’s more of a metal shredder.

[@jeffm8262]

I really enjoy Pete's playing.

[@johnv4866]

[@Earlofgrey69]

I’ve got a 2017 private build dual humbucker Little Sister. Just gorgeous. The in house wound pickups are stunning.

[@stimpsonjcat67]

The cedar top is my grail-guitar.

[@bpastorb]

I couldn't think of anything bad to say about them, they look real nice. I just don't see myself ever owning one at the price. Too many other guitars I'd rather have

[@steveDC51]

Nothing wrong with the Crossroad series and less than half the price. I have one and it is a great guitar and now it would be one of the last ones to go if it ever came to that. I did fit the real brass bridge though.

[@bpastorb]

@@steveDC51 I disagree with that statement to be honest. The cheapest crossroads I can find right now is $2k CAD and they are finished in poly. Considering the style of being something that looks like it came out of the beginning of electric guitars a poly finish seems wrong to me. I know lot's of people are not bothered by that but it is something that is important to me. It is also pretty expensive for an affordable/entry model. I would rather the two entry level gibsons or the 4 epiphones I could get over one single b&g. I've also been pretty interested in trying out a godin recently, obviously i am biased because of the Canadian roots. Compared to Godin again I could probably get 2 or 3 of their entry level models for that 2k mark That is just my opinion I'm sure lots of people own one and would disagree.

[@Tgisgreat123]

Danish Pete, your playing is so good, you could do a whole album with that setup and it would sell...could listen all day

[@Tgisgreat123]

Sorry captain

[@ledhendrix5054]

Alot of people think that because the guitar is expensive its going to be unbelievable good , its just not the case , I have a Mexican Fender which I bought brand new in 94 , I want to retire the Mexican give it a nice hanging display case , and I ve looked and tried lots of USA Fender strats and haven't found one thats anywhere near my Mexican, Ive seen this brand of guitars in Guitarist magazine, very nice but not worth the money , I was reading about the Hofner Verythin UK Black Satin a stunning looking guitar , Black Satin on Mahogany top , flame maple back and sides , for £270 , I know what I'd rather have and I can afford both. So for the guys that are starting out and have a large budget don't just go for the expensive stuff. That goes for amps to . A recent video of that lady LINDA LEE with the Original 50s Gibson guitar and this guy was playing it through a cheap solid state Peavey Amp and it sounded really good.

[@9372duffy]

Very nice guitars. Inspiring. Do you know if it has a solid central block or is the table (and pickups) 'floating'?

Solid central block

[@mikaso]

Separate volumes and a master tone control doesn't work very well on my jazz basses, is there any way around that?

[@markslist1542]

The challenge is for them to sound as vintage as they look. They pulled it off.

[@ltd4all]

It looks like Grandad's guitar you might find under his bed, and he used to be a Delta blues guitarist in the 1930's-1940's America.....They're cool as heck, but I have a list of guitars I'd want to look ay before them, to be honest.

[@70snuttodd95]

Sure does , looks like a Papa's guitar

[@joetheman74]

I am a relic hater. With that said I totally agree that THIS guitar is done right with the aged hardware and worn in finish, It gives it a vibe that just wouldn't look right if it was all bling shiny and sparkly new. These are tastefully done.

[@paulmeier3462]

Best sounding guitar I've heard for a long time, warm yet articulate.

[@christopherfidler3019]

Look at little sister 🎸

[@copperaudio9664]

Not to be a Grinch, but a Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin is the same thing for way less money. The craftsmanship is as good. A set of 8 - 42 strings and it's a great blues machine.

[@_dmfd]

Is that finish bleed on the nut on the one Pete is playing?

[@wayne1969]

Yes, it's intentional....same as the 1920s parlor acoustics

[@stuballatt4350]

I find these B&Gs super appealing (albeit not having played one yet). However, it seems like they never achieve an actual clean clean-tone. Always seems there’s a hint of rasp even when folks are purposely demoing the clean. Is it just me, or do you all hear that too?
