"Pick of the Day" - 1965 Fender Black Stratocaster and Orange AD30R 2x12

[@relevantusername88]

Aaron is truly in another league compared to the other guys y’all have do demos. Y’all have really got to lock him down.

[@Guitar5986]

Agreed. Aaron always showcases everything in the best possible way. Stellar player. Some guys just have the touch.

[@karlvandervelden3373]

Nobody is happier to see Aaron walk through the front door of Emerald City Guitars than I am. I love having the opportunity to demo some of these fine instruments when Jay and Trev ask me, but Aaron really does take it to a whole other level :)

[@hoopy63]

Aaron and a strat... I’m in!

[@maxfaith1940]

I look forward to your video's!!!! You guys have the coolest guitars, and amps!!

[@thirrteenthirrteen5528]

Awesome! Aaron is back!

[@MrGuitarHack]

Beautiful looking and sounding “players grade” strat.

[@paulcowart3174]

Little better than player grade but 17.5 WoW maybe I need to sell mine lol

[@williammckeown4768]

Wow. I'd buy that album! One of the best strat tones I've ever heard.

[@levigarrett7931]

Is it just me, or do those new frets look HUGE? Good to have Aaron back, btw!

[@takemebacktothen]

yeah, they look really wide

[@darwinsaye]

Not generally a huge fan of Orange amps the way most people play/dial 'em, but this is a really nice sound combined with that Strat.

[@moustachio334]

AD30 is a sweet little amp. It goes from clean to dirty with the volume or picking hand very easily. It’s output stage has a lot of compression going on and that’s what makes it so sweet. The single notes were my favorite part. Sounded like he was using a compressor but it’s plugged straight in. Most people think this is an AC30 copy but they’re retarded.

[@13thRaven]

Big fan of orange amps after a long search 👌

[@mass_of_rest]

finally we’ve got Aaron

[@daveo1708]

Would be nice to have the settings on the amp shown occasionally!!

[@kbkman7742]

I have had an ad30r for years, cool amps. The reverb is a bit weak and they sound a lot better with greenbacks than the v30s they came with

[@moustachio334]

Ive found the same to be true with all Oranges. Those Vintage 30’s make them a boxy sounding fizzy mess. Especially the Chinese vintage 30’s

[@spaceblues5972]

I love these videos

[@jeffainsley6000]

Anyone else catch that nod to the Blue on Black solo at the end? Man, great playing the whole time.

[@andrewclemons8619]

Sounds lovely

[@electropentatonic]

I've always wanted an Orange...someday

[@paulcowart3174]

You'll find w 65s the logo is a tad to the right of the string tree Mines the same way L Series Great guitar

[@Tonetwisters]

BLACK Fenders are the bees knees. Nice big frets! I approve! The camera work continues to be stellar, by the way. And the guitar work is also spanky! By the way, 1965 is the year I graduated from high school, so it is only right this be sent to my porch. I will send you my address momentarily.

[@moustachio334]

Great pickups and that AD30 is so dynamic. From clean to mean so easily. I think those G12H’s do it justice. Why does Orange only use terrible Vintage 30’s now?

[@daveo1708]

Because Vintage 30's are the industry standard for a reason...they Rock!

[@benjaminfowler4513]

Love that amp

[@Digosaurus]

AD30 ftw 🍊🔶🔸💯🔥

[@juyanine]

nice to hear that royalty free version of Kenny Wayne Shepherd... haven't heard that in a long time

[@randall9000]

Song: Black on Blue Artist: Benny Layne Sheffield

[@richfiryn]

That's a Bitchin Axe. Now for the Marshall Super Lead with 4X12..........carry on !!

[@944justin]

I bet this amp sounds better and outperforms any Marshall product. If not then a '70s Orange OR120 or 60s Orange Matamp will. Marshall is overated.

[@jaycee30865]

What is the first song he played please?

[@jaycee30865]

Let me say that whatever executive filtered what you played at first into the hollers you don’t have to waste your time needs to be fired immediately. Unless that is a different song... This homogenization of brilliance and texture into crap and mush in the music industry is an absolute unholy abomination.

[@bakman2411]

My birth year. Wife says no

[@nickbruni8041]

👍🏼✌🏼

[@maxwellblakely7952]

I feel like, with this guitar, you’re paying an extra $10-$15K bc it’s from 1965. Just buy a nice CS Strat and you’ll probably have a better sounding/playing instrument.

[@monkofwar]

Yeah, all vintage guitars will have been refretted if they’re any good, and good guitars get played - a lot. Not a big deal. Cars get new tires, tube amps get new tubes, and great guitars get new frets.

[@944justin]

Better than any overrated Marshall I've ever heard.

[@johnl7822]

17k lol

[@zankyalbo2208]

I think Aaron demos himself and NOT the guitar and rig. IMHO

[@jim-michellekelly6495]

Is that a Chris Stapleton song in there?
