Justin Sandercoe Chooses a Guitar Rig for Under £1000

[@BobIsBetterThanYou]

We all know his last name is Guitar.

[@raf5.13]

😂😂😂

[@davedavem]

lol

[@usmcyounggun6879]

What a coincidence that his last name is guitar and he ends up playing guitar for a living…I mean the odds must be astronomical! Lol.

[@jamescromiemedia2796]

nominative determinism at its finest

[@strumminronin]

I am sure there is a "some say... but all we know is..." joke sequence right there.

[@OhadELM]

Lee, LET GO THE Ipad Justin is almost begging to CHOOSE by himself 😄

[@TheOddKris]

Seeing Justin is literally seeing my old guitar teacher after a couple of years. Much love to him, I should really check out his youtube every now and then :) (Justin if you read this, thank you for teaching me power chords about 15 years ago! )❤

[@henrydempsey425]

It's awesome to see Justin here. The top 50 countdown of people who have influenced current players would be so interesting - Justin, Lee and Chappers, Rabea, Rick, TPS, etc. must be high on the list now.

[@amremorse]

@henrydempsey425 What a sad comment about the current state of guitar music.

[@guitourney]

Lee, you need to shut up a little bit when you have guests over

[@niv6924]

Alternate title : “Lee Anderton chooses a rig under 1000”

[@peadookie]

While Justin Sanderson is “uuuuhhnn….. ueehhhnn…. Yeaaaahhhnnn… uuhhnnn…”

[@ford4point0]

Keep doing more of these videos, but Lee, you have to stop interfering with them, and let your guests pick what they want.

[@XLTBlarg]

Or instead of letting Lee hold the iPad, show us Justin walking around the shop and choose his own rig like they do with other Andertons employees in previous videos. This was easily one of the more frustrating videos to watch.

[@MrJayscinema]

Felt Lee directed Justin’s choices a bit too much. He said 60% on an amp and didn’t let him scroll beyond £500 amps………then directed his choice of everything else. Lee excusing himself having been told about it before but then carrying on doing it 😂😂😂😂

[@komalthecoolk]

Lee, don't be a control freak but we still love you.

[@mscfsb]

Brilliant point made by Justin with the physical connection between the guitar and yourself. If it feels good, the playing experience will always be more enjoyable. Irrespective of the price or name on the headstock 👍🏻 Excellent player and tutor. Class act 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheStratpicker]

Agreed. My Fender Highway One, the guitar I swore by, not at, for so many years, is currently in its case in my storage locker, usurped by the low-cost Jet JS 400 I took a chance on. As soon as I played that neck and felt the benefits of the rounded heel joint, I knew I’d found something special. Sure, I had to switch out the tuners (I always use Planet Waves locking anyway) and I upgraded the humbucker, but the connection was instantly there. I still love the Fender, and the versatility of having the humbucker aside, the jet is still on its stand ready for action.

[@Flukey_1970]

hahaha when something sounds rubbish Lee must be thinking "how the hell am in going to sell these now"

[@Sonnypaul1]

Lee is choosing a rig for his guest episode 395

[@Xerdoz]

Well it's kinda tricky since 1000 pounds doesn't really give you that many options.

[@RedMachineKieran]

This was great. Justin is such a melodic, natural player. A joy to listen to

[@vDomMusic]

Brb, going to drive around Andertons and brake sharply in front of an Andertons delivery van, see me on one of these videos soon ;)

[@vDomMusic]

Adore Justin. Back when I got my first place, I watched a video of his that came up in my recommendations. I went out the next day, bought a £40 Squire acoustic (still got it) and learned guitar. Fast forward to today and I play lead guitar in a band and write songs, all thanks to Justin really. Even now, if I can't work out a cover by ear, Justin is the number one guy I go to. :)

[@carlosenriquemorales187]

Excellent selection by Justin, you can tell he knows a bit about Guitars, Amps & Pedals...! No wonder he is an Excellent Teacher as well...! Thanks to Anderton's TV & The Captain for making & posting this video & of course to Mr. Justin Sandercoe for showing us how to pick gear on a budget....!

[@arustydodge2111]

Excellent video, Captain LEE.Justin is such a terrific person and incredible Musician!⭐️⭐️🎄⭐️⭐️

[@wolfcrossing5992]

Ah, the Renaissance man, Mr Sandercoe. Excellent! I always enjoy watching a master musician and teacher outside of their perceived environment. Thank you Capitan for a very entertaining and informative video.🫡

[@carpathus]

Justin is the MAN! Cheers!

[@amalgam5107]

Justin is the man! Such a great teacher and player.

[@Healcraft]

Justin such a calm chill guy always

[@NoContextOasis]

Lot of sales going on here, let him play and let the gear speak for itself

[@batholith51]

Justin is the best. No words for his presence and lack of ego. He is a treasure. No ego. Just fun and infectious positivity...and a rare gift to the community.

[@Mikemazzo70]

very interesting. Justin choices are pretty clever and instructive: the good amp, the importance of the feeling with the guitar. Always a pleasure to learn something from a such cool guy. thanks and keep up the amazing job.

[@Skybluetoo]

😂 Lee guiding again.

[@DanielPeik]

Justin!, one of the OGs, and my first youtube teacher :D

[@davidLPST]

Me too

[@berkayguner]

Captain let the guest speak a bit more mate 😂. Nice episode all the same though with my guitar teacher😊🙌

[@grahamnunn8998]

I love this series but has made me nervous about parking anywhere near the shop!

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

The parking outside the shop absolutely sucks. I think there are 3 spaces? You have to park down the road really. Good thing the shop itself is worth it.

[@grahamnunn8998]

When i had a guitar plecked recently, I was able to park in the road opposite. Unsually, if I am not in a hurry I park in town and walk out there. Might still get hit by the shop van though!

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

@@grahamnunn8998 Was it worth getting the guitar plecked?

[@grahamnunn8998]

​@@neighbourhoodmusician very much so. It is an Eastman AC322, a very good quality guitar but just lacking the finishing touch to the final set up. Had it for a year and figured what needed doing.

[@locky828]

Learnt a lot from Justin. Fantastic guy

[@johntate5050]

Justin chooses a guitar rig.......that Lee chooses for him.

[@cyruss2946]

He said his favorite drive was KOT and you gave him a blues driver! I think Joyo King of kings was a more appropriate budget pedal.

[@derick-smith]

Did Lee Anderton seriously tell someone that there was too much reverb?! He wasn't wrong but it was hilarious

[@shigjetar]

The collab of collabs!

[@heymrguitarman7637]

These videos are always better when they choose by walking through the store.

[@bkmeahan]

That Squier Strat-o-Sonic hands down. They are amazing guitars.

[@davidstorm4015]

The Bugera V22 would have been a great choice here, it has a clean channel with massive headroom, built-in reverb and it sounds great. Loads of money left for pedals and guitar.

[@andrewhall576]

I received my Sire S3 today from Andertons. Unbelievable price point. Straight out the box, it is usable. No problem with the set up really. I might lower the action a tad, but on the whole very good. I bought it to gig with, as I don’t really want to take my US Strat out. If I had to say one thing, I’m not too enthusiastic about the pickups in the s3. But roll off the volume on the guitar and it chimes. I might change them out one day. But the whole point was to have a great value player that I won’t mind too much if it gets a few bruises. Great guitar

[@kernowchris]

Alternative Title - 'Lee chooses a guitar rig for Justin under £1000.'

[@Chudhole]

Ha please let the guest make the choices.

[@Jeeky88]

the people want more blindfold guitar challenges

[@RiffsTonesCafe]

Great video! I'm a big fan of Justin, such a great musician! Thanks again guys and Merry Christmas! Cheers from across the Channel, Chris

[@TheStratpicker]

Love that amp - shame they didn't design it with a 12inch speaker though - I'm sure they'd have sold many more....

[@christopherguzzi1316]

So easy. Affinity Telecaster, Valeton GP100, Boss Katana. And you have enough left for dinner and hotel room after the gig.😀🤗😉

[@thepatzer]

Tho Justin did say valve

[@borzak101]

This episode should be titled captain picks out gear for Justin to play.

[@bldallas]

So cool! I’ve learned so many songs from Justin, on his KZbin channel. It’s fun to see him in this setting and doing your 1000 quid rig challenge. Great video, thanks!

[@reffyfikserting]

This may well be the best guitar gear video out there. As long as you listen to everything Justin says and ignore everything Lee says. Lee has proven through hundreds of videos that he knows nothing about sound but a whole lot about using established myths to sell guitars. Justin is level headed, practical and experienced. He knows the sound of the guitar is insignificant compared to what happens to the signal after it has left the guitar. The only slight mistake was choosing a valve amp.

[@colinkelly279]

Ive been doing his online course for 2 years. Pretty certain that is the first time I have ever seen his hair.

[@peadookie]

I think it’s worth noting that you, Lee, _know_ that your viewers/customers are complaining about the “guiding guests into decisions” and still you ignore the feedback.

[@BipityBopity93]

The man who taught me sweet child o mine with that beautiful Les Paul. 🙌🏼

[@blackie75]

You guys should totally have Justin over again to do a big budget rig sometime.

[@fredriksandegren1948]

Sire, as usual, brings down the house... 😊

[@GordonPavilion]

Here’s my recommended starter pack… 1 X Fender custom shop master built Jerry Garcia Alligator Stratocaster £18999 plus 2 x Magnatone Slash Signature 100 watt amp head and 4x12 cab amp bundle (to run in stereo)£7499 plus an Echo Fix EF-x2 tape echo £2275 …all for a lazy £36,272. If you are starting guitar, by the end of your life, you’ll spend that much anyway. Early pain, lifetime gain.

[@SuperTurboOne]

These videos are fun but everyone chooses essentially the same rig because the budget is so low; maybe another series with 1.5K budget would have more variety?

[@ethanpunto9222]

Pretty good point, there's only so much rly good gear you can get for the money so it's usually always Boss Katana or Bugera and a Sire guitar

[@davedavem]

"What's your main drive pedal?" "King of Tone." "OK, get out!" 😂

[@oleksandrmartyshchenko5366]

Id like to see Nitsuj preference, please invite him next time as well

[@timolebeck6405]

Tbh I love my Ibanez AZES! Such a bang for the buck. With some slight upgrades you can't get a really good guitar for under 400€.

[@Mexxx65]

Wishing all the team at Andertons Music a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Another year done and dusted!! Your review videos and comparisons are just getting better and better, hope you can continue the high standard!!!!

[@murphytoonz]

Haven't watched it yet but I'm going to call it. Boss katana, classic vibe, some tone city and T.C.

[@jacoblickliter76]

Love Justin! In this scenario I would have bypassed the amp, bought an HX Stomp and the Sire and had everything I need!

[@davedavem]

Can i just say, I love you guys. You've kept me going for many a year. Happy Christmas.

[@bassa69]

Why is Lee doing all the work for him such a fix

[@charliedillon1400]

Watched Justin's videos for a while before I finally had to search bio because I just couldn't quite make out the (Aussie?) accent. Turns out he's Tasmanian! I knew I was in the ballpark.

[@MrBikboi]

Lee cmon you're heavily leading the choices here still. Please stop.

[@juancarlossuarez7486]

I played my first improvised solos thanks to Justin

[@tsermon]

Can the dude shut up at least for five seconds

[@BetterCallJamie]

he has helped alot of people learn so big respect for that. wasn’t a fan when he started doing raffles/gambling on his KZbin videos. Happy holidays to all

[@SRone45]

I swear by the Blues Driver, it's worked on every amp I've played it through.

[@jordangreenhall2497]

I find it extremely frustrating how much the Captain is trying to take over the choices for the guests. Just give the tablet to them and they can decide for themselves I’m sure they’re able to see if something is out of stock or out of the price range. Will likely avoid these videos until he stops behaving like this.

[@petersutton523]

Thanks Lee you just fixed my hum problem. 👍😂

[@Martyrium5]

It doesnt sound really good. I paid under 1000 for the whole rig, but used unknown brands out of the 60s and I wouldnt trade it for a 20000 dollar rig which is new.

[@dougfishback3116]

Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Boss Katana 100w 1x12 Boss footswitch Boss TU-3 tuner pedal Leads and picks

[@GordonPavilion]

That’d work.

[@chuddleywindston]

Nice.

[@snapfinger1]

An ersatz Strat & a real Marshall. Shouldn’t have taken more than 5-10 minutes while they fix your Chinese take out dinner.

[@pepmasters-999]

Really interesting comments about the feel at 15:43.

[@fixedgear37]

"Here is what the owner of Andertons wants you to buy"

[@JJDon5150]

Almost didn't recognize Justin without his hat.

[@Mr.Nabil.Belhaj]

that Sire S3 😍, if I had one I would threw my Yamaha out the door

[@howlemt6569]

I think with all of the global price increases, mostly COVID related, you might want to bumped the limit to 1200.

[@JAF2991]

Nice.

[@williamking7420]

Seems like a Boss Katana 1-12 with a footswitch and the same strat guitar would have been a much better value with all the effects you need built in. And you'd have about $250 left over!

[@BlazertronGames]

Love when you have Justin on. Great vid, but would've been nice to have a little jam at the end together.

[@dckstrat90]

Lee needs to chill a little

[@SRone45]

I'd love to see Josh Scott do this.

[@Slim-Bagel]

Every episode of this has me learning something new. Generally that something is what guests don't usually mention in regular videos, so keep them coming as they are all winners

[@benlogan430]

SD1 and the Bugera with a CV and your sorted!

[@Lalairu]

Totally agree 😂

[@ZeruelZ19]

if you want a great delay with lots of options, go for a joyo atmosphere!! cheap and cool

[@shawnbogstie2827]

Justin: I would be thinking that Marshall is looking pretty incredible (referring to the DSL20) Lee: OK. Add Origin to basket!

[@ruaidhrilumsden]

I can't believe the King of Tone was mentioned as the ideal drive pedal and the Tone City King of Blues wasn't even mentioned! For shame. Classic mistake of thinking that blues driver is anything like a blues breaker!

[@diggersid456]

i was literally thinking about is anybody else gonna choose a rig under £1000 this morning

[@mariusplattfaut3409]

There is no inflation in Andertons :-D. For years always under a 1000.^^

[@theAristocrap]

Lee - your videos are generally very entertaining and easy going and I enjoy watching them. But in this video I feel like you were acting too much as a salesman or a promoter of your store/brands rather than a host. Maybe you were on a schedule, but it feels like you are constantly cutting off your guest and stop the natural flow of the conversation and therefore video... The look of Justin's face when you showed him your squire (I guess expecting to be able to try it) just to hide it a moment later was funny.

[@identifiesas65.wheresmyche95]

Oh my god, my first music teacher meets my favorite guitar shop.... AND IT TAKES ME 4 MONTHS TO FIND OUT?

[@sagittated]

If you're going to a gig with a sound engineer and a PA, why do you need an amp? Just DI.

[@alexreis4965]

Why does Captain Lee say the Origin is a "pedal platform"? It's a plexi with a gain boost, would anyone call a plexi a "Pedal Platform" when it's actually the sound that defined rock?

[@PabloRomero1991]

Captain Lee chooses a Guitar Rig for Justin Sandercoe for Under 1000 lol

[@jimbarrett8349]

Justin (and Andy C) legends in the online, dvd and written guitar tutorials, its due to these wonderful blokes my wife and daughter absolutely hate 3 little birds and wild thing.

[@lemon__j]

Nice.

[@lemon__j]

Nice.

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

That Skysurfer Reverb knob is the equivalent to the Insane knob on a Line 6 Spider ll

[@BlindingSun_]

Squier Supersonic, fender mustang gt40, and a bunch of pedals; for me

[@ciclismoreligion]

A cheap guitar sounds great in a good amp, expensive guitar sounds like shit in a bad amp. For me amp is as important as the guitar or even more.
