John McGuire Guitar Valley Pro Review

[@mjmj360]

Rest in Peace Michael Casswell...You'll be deeply missed...

[@lufiealice6251]

So sad Mike has gone, it's been difficult to come back to these videos.

[@elij.doummar4623]

Top guitarist on KZbin. .. come on guitar interactive: put more caswell videos! he is the man!

[@shipper66]

sadly he just died in a tragic accident while in Spain :((

[@Sensates85]

I remember seeing this comment and giving it a thumbs up, I love to see him plays. Couldn't believe the twist of fate, RIP Michael :(

[@cwilkins2013]

I've seen and held both of those guitars, I'm lefty so couldn't play them, but one day he brought the first guitar (around the time of this video) we were learning a bruno mars tune and after teaching us the chords he just went off on some insane shred lick Casswell style and flicked on that switch. I've never heard anything so beautiful. after he had finished he said " and that kids is magic, but dont over jizz it and look like a twat". I love this man and all the stuff he has taught me. You will be missed Michael.

[@JamesRussoMillas]

So glad to see the Valley Arts style guitars can be had once again. That's part of the reason I have the Music Man Luke, kinda the new version of those old girls.

[@jeffmarcus]

It's good to see Michael again...

[@metallica3604]

rip michael

[@dennisyoung6040]

I think I need both of these guitars!

[@giancarlopaolini7529]

One of the best guitarist I've ever heard ... I understand only today about his tragic fate ... a real stolen life.

[@BenBreard]

Wow, killer guitar *AND* playing. Love it!

[@GrumpyMJK]

Awesome beautiful guitar! Even better playing!

[@davidsmith-jj4iq]

Stunning guitar ,demo was perfect,only layers like Michael,can do it justice.

[@sickb2200]

Beautiful guitar. Nice playing.

[@onemancarnage]

amazing tone , look, would love to play one .

[@BiancaOnYoutube]

Perfect guitar IMO. RIP Michael, I missed your reviews :(

[@atquinn1975]

Incredible playing!

[@SOAMLE]

Must. Own. How do I get my hands on this thing?

[@tomostinato2918]

Awesome playing.

[@vladzubac5360]

does the 89 sound similar to the 85 in the bridge?

[@alexanderanderson4082]

It's best strat I've seen before! Is the serial models have that neck too?

[@KajHeGeHaggman]

Soo enjoyable playing!

[@klextacy]

Great playing and tone. Your Luke-fu is strong! 😉

[@GazMoz78]

Who's Valley Arts guitar is in this video then? Mike's red sunburst one has a maple board

[@cwilkins2013]

i think he may have two, i believe ive seen both maple and ebony board

[@JoeBoult]

It was his. It was Steve Lukather's signature, and Mike being the biggest Luke fan had to have it. I believe he swapped a MusicMan lukather for it, on top of a bit of cash. Mike had no shortage of Pre-Samick Valley Arts. RIP Michael Casswell

[@gordonparrishguitar413]

cxwilks mike had 7. This was his too.

[@GazMoz78]

I'm sold. Where do I buy one? To be fair if I had the cash I would order one straight away. Great review of a great guitar, just one thing..... What's the fingerboard radius? Mike says the frets are 6105 but what's the curve on the board? It is a fabulous looking thing

[@MrWolf5150]

Guide prices ?

[@abnzg]

RIP

[@MisterGuitarItalia]

This dude was a Wizard... one of the best

[@markinthemix6055]

Top of my list as fav players. Sooooo good. 😳

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

jb jr., 250k or 500k? Got a second hand Halo Custom Strat w/ Halo pickups and something never seen before a Kahler tremolo. Anyways thinking of installing a jb jr.

[@jimkiousis]

can different body wood affect the emg pups ? they sound the same everywhere . imo

[@gunsandguitars6678]

Looks cost prohibitive ? Difference = nice,

[@vinceanthony7046]

It's a stratocaster with a floyd rose assembly.

[@blcouch]

And a sustainer, and a coil split, and attention to detail that a hand built guitar has and lastly, direct lineage to excellent guitars that were heard on many hundreds of songs you heard on the radio. If you spec a Warmoth neck/body/trem with similar specs and paint, you’re looking at $1600. Then you have to add pickups and wiring. THEN you have to actually assemble the parts correctly. You didn’t make a very convincing point, argument or anything.

[@MEGAMIGA]

Nice!

[@Robstafarian]

RIP Mike.

[@garymiller531]

You were the best bro RIP

[@Jaydenwybenga]

cmon guitar interactive, you've been slacking on the casswell vids lol, toms cool but casswell is life

[@metallica3604]

tom is probably the best they have..ever had...having said that..this depends on availability I guess(nothing against Caswell)

[@metallica3604]

+electrixladyland69 see it's a choice thing..but if you have to compare..there are must be tangible parameters like Technical ability, knowledge of music and versatility and intangangible parameters like feeling and unique ness that one brings..in technical things tom wins all the way..in feeling I can't have an opinion...uniqueness Tom Brings in much more than Michael( my opinion).. so well make what you can of it

[@frantisca]

Great playing for a noneless great guitar. Cost ? It's the price of built to order by the master himself. For the absolute aficionados of one of the original 2500, there are still a few that pop out here and there on the used market. If you are lucky… ;-) \m/

[@nazarenkodenys]

Rip Michael

[@tapilaha]

rip mr Caswell

[@davidlopez1208]

he can really play!!!! RIP

[@richfiryn]

How come none of those notes are on any of my guitars ?!! LOL

[@MisterGuitarItalia]

Dude's too good...

[@greatreset3]

SUSTAINNNNNNNNNN

[@rg2027x]

1 sweet axe! 😊🦅🎸

[@SGVB22]

Yeah guys too much tom lately let danny film some stuff

[@indiecrust]

Neither a fan of EMGs nor Floyd Rose but this is a cool guitar nonetheless.

[@DarkVelizar]

Awesome looking guitar, awesome playing. EMG is shit.

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Why do you say that? Have you ever played a guitar with EMG's? Emg's off a wide pallet of tone choice for ALL types of styles and music. I love them..

[@DarkVelizar]

I own the SL20 set and owned in the past the david gilmour set. All I can say there is no dynamics, its all sterile to me. Never liked active pickups. Lace Sensors beat EMG all day every day !

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

DarkVelizar To each their own.. :)

[@robertfalconer5054]

More chop's than a butcher shop, lol.

[@aleaallee]

sounds like steve vai xD
