If you are serious about dropping the cash on a new amp, bring your own guitar

I second this! I bring my #1 and pedals every time I’m really looking at bringing a new amp home!

It was my first thought too when I saw them taking random guitars off the wall

[@verysillypenguin]

ya true... I mean... idk about you but my music store is so chill I could just bring it back if it didn't play well with my stuff. also could pick my guitar off the wall if I needed.

[@asmallfarmhomestead3657]

Maybe it’s just me but I like to be left alone while I try out new gear....less salesman pressure and I get to mess with the settings myself

[@jamesjudd6577]

agree

[@zorth42]

Salesman are a lot less pushy when they know your a professional, especially in the music gear sector, also these guy's work around music everyday, so it's a lot more mundane to them

[@jsphillip60]

zorth42 I had a great experience at this store (Righteous Guitars) when I bought a guitar. The salesman helped me pick out a few guitars to try, suggested (and helped me dial in) the amps to demo them on, then left me alone in the room. Came back from time to time to see how I was doing. No pressure whatsoever, just help when I needed it. I had a very good idea what I was after when I went in there. I was a very happy customer!

[@Skoora]

At Righteous they like to make sure you get to know what your trying but they will leave you alone when your ready to put it through its paces.

[@jahrojasexqsys5238]

I get where you are coming from...but...that's a 3000 dollar amp which can't be replaced....whenever i try out expensive gear, i appreciate an attentive salesman, most of the ones ive dealt with were far more knowledgeable about the gear in their shop than i was.

[@dailupwarlord]

Wow, more shops should have the level of customer service that Righteous Guitars has. Staff was truly knowledgeable and knew exactly which direction to steer Noah in for his amp of choice. I don't see service and employees like this anymore, even in the local mom and pop shops

[@RhettShull]

That’s why they’re the best!

[@uriteimwrong7317]

Imduk our city would be happy if we had an actual guitar store. And to be treated nicely. Wow that’s an added bonus. Our former store employees were busy fighting with one another. (The employees and management and owners). It was scary in there.

[@sebastianlannes233]

Visit Walt Grace Vintage in Miami and you’ll know what customer service is

[@arsey5118]

No kidding. It might be worth a road trip to visit that one.

[@hulkb0gan]

lol, mate. i think the camera and the youtube channel helps for receiving for that level of customer service. it's basically a long form ad for the store.

[@jwmanz]

I play a Tele through a Cure. Fantastic combination. The Cure really is a great amp. The "level" control really is amazing.

[@cesarvargastorrico]

Dude after watching many channels with their own versions of "Tour/Artist's life Vlogs", yours is definitely the most watchable and enjoyable. I dont know what sets yours apart but what you have going on is so good. I binged watch all of them during my lunch break and now cant wait for your new content!

[@jakemguitarist]

Noah just seems like one of the nicest dudes to hang out with honestly

[@ChrisPowellFishingTV]

Dude their customer service was on point! Idk if you just like knew the guy or what. But the guitar shops around my area need to watch this and learn some customer service skills. Super impressed!

[@SeanKerns]

That Deluxe was money. And not even a crazy price for a clean '67.

[@nessrecords]

If you're in the ATL area, drive about 45 minutes north on hwy 400 and check them out :-P But seriously, it's a sweet spot. Especially now that Atlanta Bass Gallery has closed, perhaps the only boutique-centric shop left in the greater metro.

Rhett I would have bought that Fender in a heart beat. Here in Australia that amp would be 7k plus if you could find one. God, my dream machine.

[@TheFrederic888]

[@phillipasby9202]

What a great store ... a fantastic selection of instruments and amps, and knowledgeable staff (watched the Les Paul 2019 plek video as well these guys know their stuff). Fun to watch poor Noah (and you Rhett) go through the same travails and indecision and personal justification/rationalization the rest of us non pro musicians go through. I'm going through it at this very moment with a Rickenbacker and the one golden rule is that any other guitar player with no skin in the game will be the "just do it" enabler if only to confirm their own decisions... :)

[@bojanstojkovic3927]

Wow what a great guitar shop. I like how the guy went to tune up the guitar before handing it to the customer. So many times I've tried guitars that had old rusty strings on them and were completely out of tune, which sucks...

[@joemaxdenty783]

That '67 Blackface🤤 Unbelievably immaculate. Any Blackface amp looks cool mint condition or not. Local shop had a Blackface deluxe (don't remember the year) I was able to play through and it had the tobacco stains on the grill. It was beautiful

A great boutique-sounding amp for a good (but climbing) price are the old Trace Elliot Velocettes. They need to be modded to not blow themselves up (hah), but once that’s done, they not only sound amazing, but are very dependable.

[@Joefalconeri001]

Rhett you really need that Fender amp because,.......there is no plan B. 👌😁

[@Joefalconeri001]

BTW, I’m a bass player but I like watching your videos. Great stuff. 👍

[@ammoalamo6485]

My saying is always "If that doesn't work I'll go to Plan B." Why? Because even if I don't have Plan B all thought out, unless I'm against a time limit, I can always figure something out, some Plan B. Life always has options, often better than Plan A. Nevertheless, Rhett should get that Fender before someone else gets it, if he really likes it. One caution - used car salesmen learned long ago that a clean car was worth hundreds more than even a lightly soiled one. Today used cars get detailed to add value, and new car lots have a full-time car wash employee. That Fender might have been detailed to get it so clean., making customers think it had hardly ever been used.

[@stratplayr6997]

Righteous Guitars is roughly a 15 minute drive from my house. It's probably a good idea that I don't stop in too often. I could get myself in a lot of trouble in that store.

[@seanachiescourt6659]

when youre buying a guitar or amp or effect its always best to bring the other stuff with you so you get the real tone, there is so many things that effect tone in electric guitars its crazy... i mainly play acoustic and its easy to compare 2 different acoustics, but its always funny how someone tries to show me how their electric guitar sounds and im like ye, ok... but im hearing 50 guitar and 50 amp... even with just these two factors there is limitless combinations then add strings, effects and you got yourself a multiverse of combinations lol

[@chrisv5205]

Never tell them your "price range." The best amp I ever used live was a $99 Peavey, 15 watt, single channel, single 12. For the love of god and all that is holy, never transport an amp or cabinet on its back. Every bump and jostle in the road will caused that heavy magnet on the back of the speaker to exert downward pressure on the speaker and could possibly end up tearing the speaker. Always lay your amps and your cabs face down when transporting them if you can't transport them in their upright position.

[@jessebfly]

New amp days are always awesome. :)

[@cgavin1]

Hi Rhett. Can I give you some advice? Hard won. If its right, its right. If you have a doubt, there is no doubt. Always, I repeat, ALWAYS, buy the one that's right and shunt the doubts. No matter the cost. HTH PS: Never worry about depreciation when it comes to musical perfection. Every time a musician buys the tools of his trade, he is buying a moment (or several) of fulfillment and perfection. That is what makes him a better musician. Never worry about the money. Money is just money; you can always make more. You can't simply pass on perfection.
