Jeremy Talley from The Bled used to play Tempests. I had a Tempest Custom in "black cherry" red (with a flame maple top) around '05-'06. It looked rad. I sold mine a few years later when I could afford Gibsons and Jacksons, but I kind of regret it. I've always loved the body shape, and I dig the fret markers on the new Blackjack model. Might be time to own one again!

Got the burst Tempest at NAMM when they first came out. Not as thick or heavy as my 82 Les Paul Standard, but easier to play. Love the neck. Never felt the need to swap out the Duncan Designed JB bridge pickup. Very versatile, especially with the coil split, which wasn't mentioned in the video. Probably played more gigs and logged more hours with that Tempest than any other guitar. I like that it looks unique, but still tasteful.

I had the Schecter CSH-1 and I still have the Schecter C1 XXX. These days my guitar line up mainly consist of Gibson Les Pauls, but the Schecter XXX does still hold a place in my recording rotation. For some reason, I can play 30% faster on the Schecter than I can on the LP or Firebird. I always wanted a Tempest back in the day when I was starting out and having a Gibson still seemed like a dream. Kinda feeling some nostalgia, and may end up picking up a Tempest in the near future. The one thing I can tell you about Schecter, no matter how nice they are, they don't re-sale for crap.

@@PeanutButterPavement literally have symbols for “sober” tattooed on my body, but go off. It’s physics dingus. If you strike a string that small at that tuning with that scale length with an appropriate amount of force, it will go out of tune. Too much pressure on the fretting hand. Out of tune. Intonation… oof. There’s a nightmare. Trust me bozo, I used to be captain super light strings too. But the end result speaks for itself. Drop C on a Gibson scale, 12-56 minimum. I’d likely be up around 12-62 because I beat the piss out of the top string. And before you give me some “uR pLayInG tOo hArD” candyassery, go watch John Browne. Tata, bozo

I had an old Tempest. The pawn shop had no idea what they had, and I took full advantage of that fact. No. I am not sorry. I traded a $200 bass for it, and then sold it on Craigslist for $600. I made a $400 profit. Anyway, I never got along with that old Tempest. It is the Gibson scale length, and everything about it seemed like it wished it was a Les Paul. The worse thing was how the strings past the bridge would ring. It rang even worse than any Les Paul I have ever played. Playing it unplugged, or playing it plugged in, the ring was every bit as loud as playing the guitar itself. With distortion, it was outright unplayable. In general, the old Tempest just did not work for me.

I purchased a Tempest Custom Sunburst last week and returned it. The pickups were not hot enough for me. The setup was less then stellar with the strings touching the saddle from the bridge. My $400 dollar Epiphone Worn LP sounded better. So did my Epip Custom (changed out the bridge Pickup with Iron Gear Hot Slaggs.) and Wolf LP. The Tempest is a beautiful, well built but IMO it's a $599 not a $1099 guitar.
