The 6 Main Guitars I Use as a Professional Musician

[@williamneillgross3926]

I'm twice as old as this guy and the oldest instrument I have goes back to 1975.

[@jeffsaginaw1769]

That Tele sounded GREAT! What was the signal chain?

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thank you! nobels, RC boost, ge7, and slight slap back delay from JHV3 m9. Into an 80s rivera era fender super champ.

[@victorvaldenegro4001]

I’m new to your channel and you, as a player. I apologize for that, but I’m really impressed with your playing and your humility. I’m a fan moving forward.

[@connornicholson3944]

no need to apologise for being new

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!

[@kirkbolas4985]

You’ve got quite the Harem there Justin. Very nice instruments. I was surprised you didn’t have a Fender Stratocaster in your favorite six. I reckon that you’re a session player. How do you get by without having a Strat on your six? That left me scratching my head and wondering. Briefly my guitar boat includes a Strat, a Tele, a Les Paul, an SG, a 335 and a Jackson Soloist.

[@marc_leblanc]

That Tele sounded killer!! It had the perfect amount of breakup too.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thank you!!

[@fresve77]

Oooh the LP Custom is my dream guitar... Had a Custom Shop Black Beauty for a couple of years but it got stolen outside a gig when we were loading the van...

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Yeah they are cool. Inconsistent guitars for sure, but when you find the right one they are awesome. I’m so sorry to hear that yours got stolen!

[@fresve77]

@@justinmeyersguitarist Thanks. But I learned a valuable lesson: Never leave the van open… 😂🤦🏼

[@andersestes]

Loved the playing in the intro! Such great flow and vibrato. I have a cheap indonesian Fender Squier Tele. If I should upgrade the bridge pickup, do you have a recomendation for type/brand? Thanks for putting out theese videos

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much! Man I like the real deal vintage pickups not crazy about the new stuff. I’ve heard good things about Ron Ellis pickups but have never tried them!

[@samright4661]

I love that Silver jubilee and the Plexi behind you . Nice Guitars I’m a Gibson lover. Ace Frehely hooked me on Les Pauls as a kid

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much! So cool!

[@samright4661]

@@justinmeyersguitarist That Custom is super Awesome! Something about Norlen Era customs that’s freaking awesome

[@Sammywhat]

Would love to hear you play the whole lot of them! It's fun to hear the different tones and inspirations these reveal! Saw that Firebird vid with Uncle Larry, really enjoyed it!!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thank you so much!

In recent days, I've fallen head over heels with my two tele's ❤❤❤

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much! I use ultracase guitar racks. Gator also makes them. Super solid

[@henrywoden5281]

Very nice intro. very nice tone and pitch.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thank you so much!

[@Telorchid]

Tele sounds great! Twangs and sound like it could rock too (i.e. were you to play in a more straight ahead classic rock style without the chicken pickin and rolls, it would sound great for that.) I bought a guitar recently that has a Music City bridge, with some hesitation. The guitar was a limited run (pro) but I was curious how well the bridge would intonate since there are not individual saddles(potential con). Turns out it is quite resonant and intonate well, although you do have to be careful about how new strings are sitting...the string has to be 'straight' or it won't intonate properly. Sometimes you need to wiggle them a bit.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much!

[@jonnybeck6723]

I believe the embossed pickups were 1972 only...

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Yeah 72 only. That’s what’s interesting with that Les Paul custom, the pots are dated to late 71, has the dot on the i, but doesn’t have Gibson logo embossed pickup covers. The covers look to have never been removed. So I believe it was made in 71 but maybe finished in 72 early enough to not get the pickup covers.

[@clive3100]

Thanks for your video and nice small working musicians collection. The Firebird looks a good find. Not that I've tried one, but they do seem to have their own thing going on. Enjoy!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks!

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

Are there three (former) holes in that Special?

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Yeah the original owner wanted it to look like he had the latest Gibson back in the 60s, so he put a maestro on it.

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

@@justinmeyersguitarist Thank you for your reply. My careful guess was a separate tailpiece (with a tune-o-matic). I learned something new today.

[@joecaner]

What can one say? The man likes his Gibsons. At least there's one with P90s thrown in with the mix.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Haha yes!!

[@ericjenks9596]

Surprised at no strats or guitars with tremolos. Just from a tuning stability standpoint?

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

I do need a Strat to have around, but I find myself rarely using/needing one!

[@dancrowell2933]

Nice playing. Why are all of your guitars decades old? Do you like any guitars that are built today?

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks! I like 60s-72 era guitars better. Better craftsmanship better sounding. Better in every way. I don’t really like new guitars honestly! When you play a 60s Gibson, and you compare that to a reissue, you’ll never want to play a reissue lol!

[@dancrowell2933]

@@justinmeyersguitarist hopefully I will get the opportunity to play a 60s Gibson one day (and have the money to afford it if I fall in love)

Haha!

Justin, what is a 'gill' repair?

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Heel repair

[@michaelshearer3559]

sounds great

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks so much!

[@Hotitalianman]

No strats???

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

No! I want to do want to get one to have around though.

[@davidledford3522]

I rarely use my pinky either im nowhere near fast as you though lol

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thanks for watching!

[@richardstones6445]

You can just get lost in an SG. The P90 has something that you can’t find in any other pickup.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Yes for sure!!

[@stratmagic6893]

It is crazy that the 1970 tele and the 71 Lp custom were 2 of the first guitars i had.

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Very cool!

[@ivanrosemusic]

No strat, surprising!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Ive got a 64 Strat
