How Well Do I Know My Guitars? Guessing My Way Through My Guitar Collection!

[@TheCrazyman113LP]

Oh man your baritone Vader has got to be one of the most outrageously cool guitars in the world.

[@CakeorDeath1989]

That blue Jazzmaster with the matching headstock is honestly the stuff of legend.

[@fivewattworld]

I had to double back to watch this again to find the gold guitar, I mean 3pO.

[@caiusmadison2996]

That thing is crazy cool! I love the extreme tone shaping its capable of. Also, the colors, and that Starcaster swoosh on the headstock, its just all the great parts, one guitar. Great observation Keith!

[@shawnadams1693]

Bless your wife’s heart for helping out. This clearly took awhile to make and we appreciate it. I had my wife restring a guitar five times so I could do a “blind string test”, locking tuners of course (I’m not that evil 😉).

[@geofflb6537]

I love hearing you play Pancake. The bromance of the century. I'll always love my Teles and my Mule, but my good friend James at Home of Tone turned me on to offsets and my AOJM has become another friend. Thanks for all the help from your articles, YT and Instagram posts really helping me get the best from my offsets. Best wishes for the move and your new home. G in the UK.

[@AlexG-ok1zc]

Hey Mike. This was a very entertaining watch with tons of useful info. A very useful, diverse and cool collection. Your playing is great, would love to see even more of it in these videos!

[@Puisheen]

Thanks, Alex!

[@redgehenna4493]

finding out that the twin peaks theme was played on a bass VI actually blew my mind. i've been wondering how they got that sound for so long. thank you.

[@MidtownSkyport]

The solo from Wichita Lineman, too

[@dezb1]

@@MidtownSkyport one of the greatest songs ever.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Later Beatles stuff too.. especially when Paul was playing piano or guitar. You can see it a few times in Get Back.

[@ceygu4878]

OMG MIKE I feel so honoured you picked up my idea/comment from last time. GREAT STUFF ! Good luck with the move.

[@Puisheen]

Cey you're the best!

[@matt_ess153]

Wow. Pancake song was something else. Wish you the best man.

[@guitarz]

dude you got tone and groove for days!! Totally dig the style and sound you create when you just pickup and play... good stuff good luck on the move!

[@Puisheen]

Thanks for saying so James, because honestly, I had no plan when we set up for this vid. Thanks for putting my mind at ease!

[@thewaterboyjjx175]

Oh man that talkbass shade really takes me back to 2014 when it was a relevant forum.

[@Puisheen]

Elliott those people had a huge thread absolutely ripping me to shreds personally over a decal. They called me a phony and a hypocrite over a sticker jfc. I remember the specific post that said something like "He says he's proud of his Squier but I would question his integrity for using a Fender decal" and I lost it. Just unreal the stuff people care about

[@Miche27]

Madness, when a quick serial number check can be done to find out if it's a genuine fender...

[@caiusmadison2996]

I gotta say, 3P0 is amazing. Thats got some tones that I've had in my head that nothing yet has made. I started in 94', and I've had several vintage Fender offsets, and that thing is like a Dreamcaster.

[@fleshbhones]

That harmony sounds incredible, and the gold finish is too good!

[@itchyvinyl]

‘70s Precision Basses are where it’s at! That Jag is a beast too.

[@TheGhostGuitars]

I agree the Bass-VI is a cool instrument, I have a similar one an Ibanez SR406NT from 1998. It too is a 6 strings altho unlike yor Bass-VI, which at first glance looks like a slightly oversized guitar, my bass is VERY obviously a bass. Its huge and heaby, but love it cuz I can play it as an octave lower guitar albeit with a slightly different strum and fretting techniques. Never seen a Bass-6 here in Hawai'i and would love to get one! 👍🏼

[@davidlewis8814]

Here’s me wishin KZbin had a “Love” button. Love Button! Yay! It was funny to me that you said “I can’t play this”, then proceeded to riff all over that little ukulele haha!

[@xero_2003]

It’s actually because of this video that I started getting more into Pinkerton. So thank you Mike ❤❤

[@codylancaster2807]

Watching you play pancake hit different this time. I could see the love you have that guitar.

[@Puisheen]

Cody thank you for seeing me. I absolutely do love that guitar

[@ampman40]

Finally got around to watching and no disappointment here. I'm relatively new so thoroughly enjoyed the history and as always your playing/tones/etc.

[@Puisheen]

Thank you, Rick! Too kind.

[@mikael6043]

That Nashville tuning blew my mind! Great vid, Mike 🤙🏻

[@theplourde]

Nobody’s talking about Vader’s tone? That’s some heavenly stuff. I mean Pancake is pretty and all but Vader is nice.

[@SirSneakerPimp]

Proof that Puisheen is a freak of nature. The Bass IV was in his hands for about 1.2 seconds before he guessed it. Then to top that he guessed R2 by SMELL! Who else can recognize their guitars by fragrance? Keep the great tones coming. BTW...what does Puisheen actually mean?

[@Puisheen]

This dumb handle of mine is a holdover from college where were were playing Timesplitters 2 multiplayer on PS2 and I needed a login since 'guest' was taken. I had to choose something and the only thing that came to mind was the sound of a cartoon sword being unsheathed, so I spelled that phonetically and bam!

[@jonathanhudak2059]

What an awesome collection Mike, you really have an arrayed assortment and I love the story behind each guitar. Some really beautiful playing on your 61 Jazzmaster too!

[@Jayoforshow]

You ARE a real musician! Love your playin man 🙌🏼

[@jeffwegrzyn8947]

Hands down the best song choices for demoing each guitar. Amazing. Thank you.

[@sprintingforsigns]

So many wonderful guitars and such a great video. Absolutely love this video. The Revstar and Harmony sound awesome. Killer P Bass sound. Vader. Oh My! That’s just wonderful. PANCAKE 💜 I could go on … What a great collection of instruments. All have their own thing going on. Safe journey Mike.

[@benjaminfowler4513]

John dwyer used to rock the hell out with a burns double six so I agree they're great for that

[@mougabo]

wow i loved your River´ Strat! and that Sigur Ros like LP Junior was kickass and yes, there is a reason why the 61 Jazzmaster was last........

[@popsanddais]

man whatever you played on that orangewood i cant stop replaying

[@katsarostom]

Oh my offset brother, I’ve seen too many guitar collections over the net, but that was the first one that made me jealous! Kidding! Keep up! Greetings from Greece!

[@Puisheen]

Thanks! Say hi to Greece for me please!

[@katsarostom]

Puisheen I will my friend! Keep our offset dream alive! Thank you for everything! Jazzmasters for life!

[@davidlee2790]

Good luck with the move! Hope it’s stress-free but exciting 😊

[@mathiasnilo6855]

Wohoo! I loved this episode from Sweden and back! Freak’in good playi’n! Travel safe!

[@mcfontaine]

I wish both of you all the luck in the world for the move my friend.

[@Puisheen]

Thank you Mark!!!!

[@claudiopetucco]

Safe drive and all the best to you and your family! Great collection Mike! Cheers from Luxembourg

[@Puisheen]

Thank you Claudio!

[@blindsidedka]

Hell yeah, just sat down with my dinner and came in to this in my feed. Happy Thursday Mike!

[@Puisheen]

Happy Thursday to you!

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Wow they’re all beautiful but the acoustics and the 12-string electric blew my mind a little bit sonically. I’m not such an acoustic guy but wow, the Martin and the Gibson are both deep.

[@dylanclay5267]

This was a lot of fun to watch! I’m really digging these longer videos

[@Puisheen]

Dylan thank you, I still freak out a little bit when I breeze past the 20 min mark but I'm learning that long is okay!

[@thecaveofthedead]

You have great taste in guitars. Even that Studio is much improved vs. stock. Just love the Jaguar colour-scheme.

[@daevidjael]

Yup that has cemented my need to get my hands on a baritone... I am hoping to eventually get my hands on a Jaguar baritone special, though these are quite rare these days! Good luck with the move and catch you on the flip side!

[@Puisheen]

Baritones come in handy, and are GREAT for getting right in between guitars and bass in a mix.

[@TheBlackham]

Ah man, supercool playing …dig!

[@rossmoulder515]

Awesome collection. Keep up the good work, love the channel

[@nicgundy]

Mmmmm I love my Jazzmaster baritone like you love your Bass VI, tho I'm still eyeing to get my own VI in the future. Also I always get the bees knees over a lap steel guitar & have enjoyed mine for almost 2 years

[@mralgebro]

That Orangewood acoustic sounded fantastic!

[@keatonlusk3693]

The light up switches on the Vader baritone literally took my breath away

[@kimrosez]

Watching this you may want a lapsteel, you may want a 12 string, you may want a bow, you may want many things...until you see and hear pancake and mike and you know you'd much rather have an instrument that clicks with you just like that.

[@Puisheen]

This is 100% correct!

[@DavidLHolzer]

I'm now a baritone fan. Vader for the win!

[@Dulnlop]

Love the video! Good luck with moving! 💚

[@kaiserthegreat]

I wish you would do a head to toe video all about Threepio. Yes even the hour long section where you go over the 15 different ways it’s been wired. Bring it!

[@scaredypicker]

Hey man, just wanted to say I’ve only just discovered your channel, but I love your playing and I’ve learned a ton about offset guitars from watching your videos 👍 feel like I need a Jazzmaster now 😅 You’ve earned a subscriber!

[@Vondy420]

Fantastic video and collection! It helps me realize that I’m still searching for my Pancake...

[@Puisheen]

I hope you get there!

[@duncanmaccoll8336]

I saw Sigur Ros play Glasgow Barrowlands Ballroom in 2003 ❤️ Love your vids, your attitude and your playing 👍 I'm looking for an offset guitar having played semi solid for years and your an inspiration 👏

[@Puisheen]

Duncan I got to see them a few years back at the Hollywood Bowl and while it was a great show, the band was plagued with sound and tech issues that night so I feel like I didn't get the *full* experience

[@triniep82]

Good luck on the move bruv!

[@M81_WOODLAND]

7.57 Good gravy that's a gorgeous axe. Mint green-ish pickguards are just sexy (IMO).

[@Puisheen]

Thank you John!

Boy do I adore those fender twelves

[@jacktrent5648]

Man, your playing is so tasteful.

[@Puisheen]

Thank you!

[@henryhester1897]

I would have liked to hear his take on the concentric knobs of the Vintage Modified Specials (with the Strat inputs). We’re going to put a switch in for serial or parallel in the center toggle

[@nebbynoo1127]

Vader is sick gotta get me one of those. You also made me want an old beat up precision bass so bad.

[@bossman1208]

that 63 / 65 Jaguar is my favorite!

[@ZachariahConnor]

Love this video! So cool to hear all of them together

[@Puisheen]

Thank you, Zach!

I've been eyeing off those Revstars since forever. But no $$. But they cool. But no $$. BUT I WANT ITTTTTTT

[@MiguelGuitars]

Thanks Mike, now I'm going to have to add a few guitars to my collection 😅 now lloking at a bass vi and a Creston guitar! Really getting into offset guitars recently and your videos are the best!

[@BaBaBaBenny]

Westone, the company Electra became also made some excellent guitars in the 80’s. I’m waiting for them to explode in price but rn you can pick them up real cheap and they’re amazing.

[@dezb1]

Never heard of Electra but when that guitar came up I thought it looked like a Westone Spectrum... so that explains that.

[@simonfinch9277]

Man the bass 6 is an absolute abomination, i love it! Hope fender does a player series bass 6

[@Jay-bw3fl]

Awesome collection. Pancake is 👌🏻

[@basarat]

Soooo very curious about the story behind Glen Hansard 🌹

[@dezb1]

The epiphone with the flatwounds sounds awesome

[@Puisheen]

It's a good one and I wish I would have taken the time to actually set it up after not playing it for two years lol

[@dezb1]

@@Puisheen my longest serving guitar is a 90s Epiphone Riviera - bought it new in 1994 my first good guitar - still love it.

[@GuitarsForIdiots]

I never realized you had 3 guitars named after Star Wars, I think you and me should discuss Star Wars more often....

[@Puisheen]

Technically five. Artoo, Threepio, Vader, Chewie, and the Jaguar's official title is "Han" because it's the color of carbonite

[@GuitarsForIdiots]

@@Puisheen I love that wow, get settled back from your move and then I’m gonna annoy you with some messages about Star Wars 😂

[@royalblue2229]

Richard Cory by Simon & Garfunkel is a cool Bass VI song. Lots of whammy bar use on it.

[@trentonortgies1754]

Great video! Just discovered your channel and am having a blast going through the catalogue. Where did you get your upgraded spring for the bass? 🤘😆

[@steffenla4]

The "Guitar" from the Twin Peaks theme is actually an 8-bit sample from an E-Mu Emulator II. There's a Reverb video about it that's worth checking out.

[@Puisheen]

Check the Twin Peaks doc on the blu ray, the composer shows off the VI

[@JayEdom]

Man you’re amazing at guitar you have so many though i guess the all have a purpose to you

[@lueymeteora1410]

Great fun - great, interesting collection. You def an offset Boi! One thing I notice, while you're such an interesting player, with a seemingly endless bag of riff/songs to pull out...can I just say, you strum your accoustics really close to the bridge. Sometimes this can be for added steeliness...but it seems you always strum there. You lose a lot of body, strumming there, did you know..? Anyhow...great video. Love the Jazzies!

[@soyburglar77]

Hardcore Ennio Morricone vibes at 13:30!

[@mikeschneider2251]

Artoo and Pancake are my favorites. You find my lack of faith distur?...... yes.... Darth... is... epic...

[@leonardsrobert]

Great!! What was that spring reverb sound you used on the Vader guitar? I love the sound! Probably not the stock Helix one, right?

[@Puisheen]

That's the Strymon Bluesky!

[@joshuadurocher8071]

I love the epiphone 335 that sounds bad ass and I love the lack u played on it u should write more good old rock love it keep up good work

[@marcusfiero3724]

Beautiful guitars! What is your creative process for creating your riffs? It’s some of the best stuff I have seen on KZbin!

[@kikooooooooooooooooo]

How did you paint the headstock on the Bass VI Mike? Would love to do that to mine but afraid of doing a bad job!

[@Puisheen]

I just used some black nitro from Stew Mac. Really quick job too!

[@krisdelacourt3977]

"no time, gotta hurry through this" - dark outside by the end of the video

[@ryanhurley8170]

Such a fun video, thanks Mike! So many killer instruments... the Nash ills tuning has me thinking- are there examples of that being used on electric? Any considerations to, umm, consider when setting up an electric for Nashville? Good luck with the move! (I’m the guy on Instagram that mentioned he’s from quarryville!)

[@Puisheen]

No special considerations other than making sure your nut is cut for those tiny string gauges. Intonation will definitely need to be adjusted as well

[@linleechiun]

Great tour for an offset beginner like me!

[@BravoColl]

I need to know what stiffer spring you got for the AVRI vibrato on your Bass VI? Is it the one from Ryan's search for stronger springs for the Panorama vibrato?

[@ibberman]

The 12, remove 6 and give us a little Mean Town Blues (Johnny Winter)

[@cameronvillarrealLp]

Dude the cp0 guitar is sick as fuck

[@skuzza405]

20:03 please for the love of all that is holy, any hints on how you managed to get this tone??? it’s gorgeous

[@Puisheen]

I think that was the Yellowcake Furry Burrito and the harmonic trem on the Strymon Flint

[@marcomelillo4590]

Here for Offset surfeit, went crazy for the bowed Les Paul! May I ask Your opinion on the wide range, I mean are those the pickups obtainable in an humbucker size (Novak) that can come closer to Jazzmaster pickup sound? Have a good move trip

[@Puisheen]

There are HB sized WR out there but they never quite sound the same to me, and personally while the WR and JM sound are in a similar wheelhouse in my mind, they're also very different

[@jeffwegrzyn8947]

@ 37:51 What are you playing on the Baritone? Are you just jamming? What song is this?? I need to know!!

[@spencercox4092]

[@sharonlee4773]

great playing man.Why did you feel the need to change the tailpiece on the Sonic Blue Jazzmaster?

[@Puisheen]

I just vastly prefer the feel of the older, stiffer springs on '60s vibratos, and particularly '58-'61 PAT PEND units, though they all feel way better to me than reissue. AVRI is great, I just like more spring tension

[@sharonlee4773]

@@Puisheen Many thanks for the swift reply. Can a stiffer spring be purchased?

[@Puisheen]

@@sharonlee4773 Of course, no problem. Springs CAN be found on Darren Riley or Angela from time to time but they haven't been around for some time. Mastery is a good option for stiffer springs too

[@michaelkalman1560]

What kind of strings did you put on that Bass VI? The stock squier ones don't have enough tension!

[@Puisheen]

AGREED. Really, anything with a .095" or better on the low E works, but I prefer the LaBella 767-F flat wound set

[@ryanwhite5482]

My jaw actually dropped hearing the bowed Les Paul. 😲 What is that tuned to?

[@Puisheen]

E standard

[@sons.moon.leather]

The wedding guitar with flats sounds so thumpy and doomy, seems to be tuned lower than it really is. Pancake just sounds gorgeous.

How did it take until your "Old age" to appreciate the jazz bass? It's without question the most popular of all of Fender's Offset Contour Body guitars! :P
