I was a tube guy for 25 yrs until I discovered Dave Simpsons channel, his Orange cr 120 was the amp that sold me on solid state. now it's my favourite amp.

[@WeAllFloatHere]

I thought I was emotionally connected to some guitars, but it wasn't until I got my Schecter C1 Hellraiser that I really understood what it meant to become one with your instrument. It changed my outlook entirely on guitar and fueled a major superstrat schecter buying spree trying to replicate it but I always went back to that Schecter. The biggest emotional connection is a kit guitar I did with my Grandpa, but thats different. It needs a lot of parts upgrades to do what I want it to do, but the fact that we built it together and made a really cool sparkly blue strat is just such a cool memory I will always have even after he passes one day.

[@TheMadaccountant]

The Hellraiser is a really great guitar.

[@nathanmarcinek2073]

I've bought cool guitars over the years in multiple (comfortable to me) price points, but I always return to the Schecter Tempest I bought in '09. It always feels right, and I always smile when I pick it up.

[@rijosigns]

i am so happy that i have been a part of this community for 7 years now. given the covid and now the war unfolding in the world. i do suffer from anxicity . so glad to have a place to go and just talk about things i love. ty to all here on this channel for all the support. and ty phill. love ya buddy.takes me away every friday

[@pastorofmuppets1968]

I have a Japanese built Ibanez rg550 in jewel blue from the early 90's that I will never get rid of. Over the years I have personally achieved true relic status. Its broke in and still plays like a dream. New pickups here and there and a refret a few years ago. Giged for years and a sweat stained fingerboard. My baby.

[@juananbarcelo9880]

Cool and very appropiate background these days, both guitars and lighting!

[@nathandenton1373]

The emotionally connected thing is so true to me . 14 years ago I bought a schecter c1 blackjack atx and since that time I have bought many more guitars and some that cost considerable more money. At the time I bought that guitar 14 years ago it was the most expensive guitar I had ever owned . That guitar is my favorite guitar and I will never part with it.👍There's just something special about that first nice guitar you eventually get , no matter what it is and you really appreciate it.

[@justcruisen67]

Great Podcast Phil, even if I was late again today will catch up on the beginning this evening!

[@voyagemusicstudio2758]

Regarding the single coil/humbucker ideas for bridge... If you want both sounds at your disposal one solution could be the Seymour Duncan P rails, you get the option of using a single, p90 and humbucker in a single pickup (humbucker spaced). Then, you add complexity adding other pickups to be combined with this one.

[@starkickermusic2100]

Phil just wanted to say thank you for the update on Valiant Guitars! I had ordered one and had been talking to Egore quite frequently what a great guy! So it's good to hear that him and his wife are safe. Wish there was something I could do to help him out.

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

Finally had a chance to watch all the way through.... only got parts of the show in between work, calls, and family stuff on Friday... great show as always Phil!!! I bought one of those Stew Mac Fret leveling tools that let you level the frets while the strings are still on.... pretty cool tool! 🤘😎🎸

[@bobtheblindbedroomguitaris8742]

I'm just commenting on buying a guitars and then you know whether they go up or down in value. I had to stop playing guitar for 27 years when I started to go blind. In 2016 something just said to me let's look and see what gets in SDS are going for today.? And I looked and I was looking at the specials didn't know much about the specials but I found one for $550 with a wine red full gloss finish. The 2005 the 2005 series of SG specials came with a warrant I guess faded finish satin not high gloss and I said to myself it sounds good and in 2016 when I bought the guitar I still was able to see colors cuz it's my eye diseases degenerative it's the longer I live the left side I have or had I should say. But I was able to see the finish on it I was able to see through to the body of the wood the grain and the beautiful guitar the finish was like a sheet of glass let me talk came to me perfect it wasn't a scratch on it. And since then I bought five expensive guitars or moderately expensive I guess that's a differs from person to person and their pockets of how much money they have. you know that serious that those years of series are great cuz they don't come with p90s I don't like single coil pickup because I can't take the home it just kills me people say we want you to stop playing it disappears that it really doesn't disappear it's just at least from what I can tell it's just being masked by the volume of the rest of the pickup you know the rest of the sound. This came with a set of 490 and 4902 pickups which are really cool. At first I was like I don't know about these pickups but yeah I really decided I love these pickups and I'm not going to swap them out. The guitar is beautiful of course it has no binding it has no you know block or any other type of inlays it has the God and ways they happen to be a mother of pearl and it's got the screen silk screen logo instead of the mother of pearl logo but the guitar is great I love it you know I know it's worth more than 550 now that's for sure especially with that finish yeah and the only difference between you know as far as how the guitar plays or the neck is different too right we got the profile it's it's not a baseball bat and it's not a slim 60 just like a really comfortable see it's like in the middle of that it's very comfortable. And electronically to the standard of 2005 is nothing the pickups yes but it does have you know it doesn't have cheap Gibson you know really good quality humbuckers. And the bridge the electronics the tuners the pots switches output Jack all the stuff is exactly the same as the 2000 so really it's an aesthetic thing rather than a better than anything else as far as I could cause then in 2017 late 2017 when the 2018 Gibsons were coming out I bought my firebird from sweetwater. It was discounted because they were getting rid of the they were starting you know they wanted to sell the newer guitars and in 2017 there was no they still wanted everything said and done for 1350. That's expect that really great I think it's one of the better specs out Firebirds in the USA line of guitars it's got the Steinberg a careless doing this it's got the that's this is gimmicky but it's good titanium saddles it's hand rolled for the neck and besides the other great specs that come with a typical firebird it's got the nine-piece Walnut and mahogany neck you know neck through body construction you know beautiful guitar really cool 1350 I can get a lot more for that too my hollow body scratch is worth more than it was when I bought it 2 years ago is worth more than I bought it a few years ago and even my last purchase which was the Epiphone 59 tribute Les Paul is worth more than I paid for it and I got the guitar I think in November somewhere around there and it's worth more than I paid for it. If we could tell her I bought is a keeper you know when I buy a guitar unless there's something defective with it it's not something I ever look at the worrying about the resale value. I certainly don't worry about buying a new guitar and keeping it till it's vintage because I'm 62 and by the time the guitar is vintage probably not here anymore LOL so yeah that's my my experience with buying guitars again since 2016. I'll tell you one thing not playing for 27 years and starting to play without being able to see what you're doing that was a trip still is kind of. I guess you know I probably other people do not just me don't realize how much they depended on looking at the fretboard while they were playing and whatever else they were doing and then you know close your eyes and try to play and see how that feels. I'm playing good a lot better than I was in 2016 when I picked up the guitar again that was a joke took a while to be able to get you know chords to ring out you know correctly without you know muting all the strings by not having my fingering right. But you know I played the guitar two days ago after not playing for a couple of weeks and the boy was it something else I was hot I was on fire I mean I was really playing great and what was coming out was even greater I was so pleased it was such a high. Anyway I'll stop here thanks Phil sincerely Bob the blind bedroom guitars

[@keithbriscoe99]

"WALL ART" wow, that just totally connected. I can't believe I'm about to let my beautiful 10 top mccarty 594 go because it's heavy and not the comfort on neck size. Will always keep my ce24 semi hollow bc it's light thin and comfy. Prob also get a strat body guitar to replace the 594. Anyway, Phil your comments just totally made sense for me.

jonny @ sound sounds here, I just did a repair on a 6 in 1 analog pedal built by sentimental bob electronics. which is a Ukraine builder. the owner just came to America as a legal refugee. him and his wife came he was able to bring 4 guitars and that pedal, it was a rat, big muff, ts808, chorus, tremolo and delay all analog individual circuits. it was cool to fix something that meant so much to him

[@andyhamlett8814]

Just taken possession of the Sire Larry Charlton H7 (ES-335 style)... never had a guitar like it.... the pick ups are amazing and the build quality is faultless. She’s red... I call her “Rosie”... a whole lotta Rosie.

The first guitar I connected to was a $300 epiphone Wilshire and everything I bought after I'd have no problem selling...except for my dream guitar. I bought that almost a year ago (whale blue 594 with p90s) and it really is everything I wanted and more. Overpriced? Sure, but totally worth it to me.

[@lruddy8820]

My best guitar js my squier affinity telecaster, it’s the first guitar ive completely stripped down repainted, changed out nut, pick ups, pots and switch, tuners, pickguard and rebuilt the guitar totally in a way that i want it, and i know its not my best guitar objectively but it is my faourite and therefore feels the best in my hands

[@wjm52358]

One of my favorites is my affinity strat. I changed all the pickups and wiring, push pull pots, and did a fret job recently

[@bobtheblindbedroomguitaris8742]

Hey Phil thanks for another great video I find that my firebird which weighs 7 lb 13 Oz is much more comfortable to play than my last fall! I don't know how much that pays but it's literally a boat anchor that got some typical metaphor we will use sometimes the weights of a less full. I also have a hollow body gretch and dual jet I have a strat body style and I also have an SG and the firebird is very comfortable the only difference really that you got to get used to is the neck feels like it's a two and a half feet longer than it is. But once you play it for a little while it just becomes natural like anything else you do on a regular basis. My SG I know a lot of people don't like sg's fireworks guitars like that because of how the neck feels not not profile but the length usually and both guitars are really easy to fiber than the SG to get up in the high notes the high registers of the guitar again my most uncomfortable guitar to play is my last full. I love it though it's a great guitar I mean the way it sounds is unbelievable you certainly have something in your hands in your holding that. LOL well excuse typos a lot of bad type or I'm not even illiterate with all my friends like to tell me I am LOL I'm blind are you speech to text and has its own unique take on the English language and how it's written I don't think it understands what punctuation is easy lol? Anyway that's my abbreviated comment normally I comment for like ever I don't comment I write or I text or I verbally text out short novelist lol this one actually is pretty small for my usual addictive commenting. Sincerely Bob the blind bedroom guitar

[@eldestroyo13]

Glad you mentioned Lace in the pickup conversation. I feel like they are steadily left out of the pickup conversation and I’m not sure why. I went down the Strat bridge pickup rabbit hole for probably the past 12 or 13 years for some of the very reasons you mentioned. My no.1 Strat style guitar (‘95 G&L Legacy) gets used for everything from clean/low gain ambient and surfy stuff to modern metal. I can’t tell you how many sets of pickups I went through before finally settling on a Blue Lace Sensor in the bridge. The Seymour Duncan STK-9B was a close contender though.

[@tedpikul1]

When I heard that Gibson had a neck-through model I got really excited. I would like to have two Firebirds because I would like to try a variety of pickups in a Gibson neck-through build, and I'd also like a Firebird with the spec pickups.

[@davidepaolo276]

Hey! Sorry I missed the live show, but thought of something you said the other day and I wanted to bring it up. In reference to how you mentioned that you like FSR because it eventually becomes “custom” due to its unique build features etc I recently picked up a 2011 “1975 Tele Custom”. Ash Body, block Inlays on maple fretboard- like the 75 Jazz bass- Jazz bass knobs for tone and volume and some other unique features. Only 500 made. Got it on a pretty good deal and finally went for it because like you said - eventually when something is that unique and limited in quantity made it has to be considered “custom” Right!? Hahaha thanks for sharing your insights and knowledge! See you next week! 🤘🏼

[@jamesonsnow782]

I share this feeling about my MIM ‘52 Blackguard Reissue Telecaster. It’s just a MIM but there’s NO WAY Fender will ever offer this spec, like the Ash body, at anything close to an affordable price ever again.

[@JuanJaim]

On the semi-hollow talk: last year I was after an Epiphone ES-335 (couldn't afford a Gibson, just wanted to try them out and grow the Gear family). I found a used Ibanez Artcore AS73 that needed some TLC, and can't say I regret not getting the Epiphone. Long story short, I discovered a great guitar with wonderful tone (and I also learned the pain it is to swap pots on semi-hollow guitars!)

[@kevinstuart5694]

Dimarzio Heavy Blues 2 is a pickup I enjoy in the bridge and neck position of Strat style guitars.

[@devilsguitaristmusic]

To the person looking for locking tuners for Gibsons with the vintage Kluson tuners: As Phil mentioned there is Gotoh and Kluson. I would recommend the Kluson. The Gotoh are difficult to find in my experience and I've only seen them offered in the press fit bushing style. Kluson sells both the press fit bushings and the hex nut bushing styles, they're available on StewMac as well as other sites. They're very high quality and I highly recommend them. There's nothing wrong with the Gotoh but I've never found them available in the hex nut bushing version and I've only seen them for sale on places like eBay.

[@GuitarJeff]

Hey Phil. I have one of the original KYG hats from couple years ago. Honestly it is really one of the better hats I own. I am not sure if your wife can look it up I know there wasn't many out there from 2 years ago. It was pretty stiff at first but definitely high quality and took a bit to wear in. But now it's perfect. I am the envy of the local guitar store cause I am only one they know with a hat.

[@unclejeffssecretaccounttoh8774]

got my guitar like 8 months ago i think, i used to not be able to play almost anything lmao, everytime i picked it up i would get exhausted and then slowly i stopped practicing for 5 whole months, 2 days ago i suddenly got motivated to play again, i was in the guitar spirits and i didnt care if i had to hold onto a barre chord for learning certain songs and i let go of that fear of failing. I feel so much more like connected to my guitar ITS LITERALLY THE LOVE OF MY LIFE NOW HOW COULD I NOT TOUCH IT FOR 5 MONTHS???? anyways yes.

[@davidgood6744]

I‘m hoping to get a backordered Yamaha Revstar 502t in Vintage Japanese Denim, but I think the Standard RSS02t looks like an awesome guitar if I can‘t get one of the originals.

[@cwness4587]

PRS MT15 is a known noisy amp just do a search in the search above. I head to get a noise gate it was so bad. Now when I turn the volume up or down on a guitar it sounds like a bad pot but the pots are good. It does it on all my guitars. It sounds like DC voltage on the input jack.

[@Boomsterblak]

Great session,like the bit about the 60 year old,I had 10 years playing guitar bt(before tab) there was little or nothing like there is today,70's Fender and Gibson were not of good quality..enter I banez i was lucky to get a concert series when i was 16,,boss was 77..tuners..tuners..yeah right i was tuning harmonically at a sound check..guy says you just gave away your age..from cost to availability we are living in the platinum age.

[@sublyme2157]

Regarding fizzy sounding amps: I have a Bogner Shiva that's fizzy at low volume; but crank that sucker up and all that fizz goes away and turns into something spectacular. Maybe that MT15 just needs to be cranked!

[@nealixd.3011]

I had a G&L Legacy that had a DiMarzio tone zone S in the bridge, along with Rio grandes in the neck and middle positions. It sounded quite good. I still have a Squier Strat project with three Carvin H 60 stacked single coils and they sound good also. Folks are spoiled with all the single coil format pups available today. No more anemic Strat bridge single coil pups need be settled for, for a long time now.

[@nealixd.3011]

Same for pitiful Lackluster HBs in the bridge position of any guitar. I tend to favor Seymour Duncan’s, being an older school pop rocker.

[@jonathanstrand2474]

Firebirds and explorer shapes are pretty cool if you are tall, at 6’5” I’ve got long arms, yet my favorite guitar is a 2016 Revstar, with a wrap tailpiece, I like wrap tailpieces, perfect to mute easily, the only guitars that are not have Trems….I rarely play them, how did I end up with 3? They are all 25.5 scale, the ones I play most are 24.75 from when I didn’t play daily, I didn’t really know what I actually preferred🙂

Black Shadow vs Creamback, I have an F50 that I swapped in a Mesa Vintage 30 and the amp came alive, it was way too dark with the Black Shadow and I was thinking about selling the amp, but it was so ballsy and so loud and had so much headroom that I felt like it would take a 100 watt amp to replace it, so I threw in a wild card and pulled my vintage 30 out of my mesa 1x12 and put it in there just to see what would happen and it was like pulling the blanket off the sound and it sounds amazing now. I ended up mixing the Black Shadow with a greenback (used to be 2x greenbacks) in a Randall 2x12 that I use with my Randall Diavlo 45 and it sounds huge compared to the 2x greenbacks, but retained the celestion magic of the greenback in the upper registers, so I feel like it's a win/win now. Anyway, thought I would add that to the subject at the 48:24 time stamp

[@nedim_guitar]

59:10 I owned an FGN J-Standard Odyssey JOS2CLG, and it was the best guitar I ever held in my hands. I even drove for two hours to another town to try some out and bought that one. Unfortunately, I never connected with that guitar. It felt great, it sounded great (Seymour Duncan pickups), looked great, but I just didn't feel it. It's like I didn't know what to play on it. I sold it a year after I bought it, and I'm kinda sad, because I bought it as a birthday gift to myself when I turned 40. I would have loved to have connected with the guitar, but what can you do. After that I got three Epiphones (one used) and two Squires (one used). And a shitload of pedals!

[@davroshalfbeard8368]

The big amp manufacturers should set up a factory that makes high quality tubes for the industry no brainer just need them to put their hands in their pockets lol

[@Kmayzer]

The most underrated single coil bridge pickup for strat is the Lace Sensor Silver. It's fat and can cover most anything except the heavy stuff.

[@bradleyard4195]

Russian made tubes, for now, are a thing of the past. That's not to say they'll never be back, but for now, they're gone. That said, Czech-made JJ and their sub-brands (Ruby, Groove Tubes) are pretty good, and seemingly plentiful from places like Amplified Parts, Sweetwater, and Tube Amp Doctor. I just put a set of JJ EL84s in one of my amps recently and they sound just as good as my other amp with Tung-Sol EL84s. So, they're out there and still pretty affordable. Granted, they aren't Genalex Gold Lions or Mullards, but they work well enough. I wouldn't bother with Chinese-made though, the internals are weak.

[@vorpalblades]

Tone pros are great bridges. If it’s tune o matic make sure you get metric being it’s Korean made. Grover makes mini locking rotomatics that should drop right in. Just make sure the screw alignment is the same on the locking tuner. You won’t have to enlarge the hole, it’s 10mm on almost all guitars except vintage style tuners.

Two rock’s are way too expensive for a regular guy . One of the shops I go to , has a 8000$ two rock amp and cab. 🙀🖖🏼

[@bobtheblindbedroomguitaris8742]

Hey filler anyone why do you put the katana in with the modeling amps and digital lamps? I might be wrong you know more than I do about all this stuff that's for sure lol. But I was under the assumption that katana the amp itself is a solid state amp and the only thing that was digital was the effects since the effects of digital is that put the amp in the class of a modeling amp a or is it something like they claim it to be just the solid state preamp and poweramp? If I shut all the I have a katana it's not my favorite aunt but I do like it and I play it pretty often I have no pedals and my one two band only as we were so and I love delay but anyway if I would have shut off all my effects on the katana and plug the pedal I reverb delay into the effects loop am I essentially playing a solid state amp with petals or is it still somehow using a processor to work with the preamp and poweramp? I don't know how clear I made this up a question but if anyone knows or if by any chance you read this Phil and you could reply that would be great again as always thank you for your videos although I really make the live show on the q&a I've never missed one afterwards I always play it and listen to the whole thing from start to finish in one big goal and love it? It was your channel it was you in 2016 maybe yeah 2016 that helped me in a way pick up the guitar again after 27 years and to start looking well I had the idea I wanted to get into playing guitar again after all that time so I looked at prices of guitars and stuff and then I started to KZbin channels and yours is one of the first ones I found myself that and it was in a good part your videos that helps me and got me playing again and getting interested in gear and guitars so I thank you again sincerely Bob the blind bedroom guitars

The pre-amp section and effects are digital, the power section is solid state.

[@bobtheblindbedroomguitaris8742]

@@vorpalblades thank you for replying. You know it's it's strange that you know now that I know it's a digital preamp and digital effects I'm saying to myself you know I was happy with it not knowing that LOL I'm saying to myself so that must mean the feedback how everything interactions are all like a modeling yet that's what I'm getting out of your reply.. and it's so strange how how just knowing something in my mind starts to say hey well this isn't real it's not good lol. Yes not good I've had the answers 16 or somewhere around there and I never really had any complaints about it and now it is what it is for the money. I paid $265 brand new out the door I had to wait a long time to get it also and now you know what I was happy with again I can't believe what the what was the mine does especially with us I guess you get my point LOL and I thank you greatly for answering my question. I don't know why I was I had it in my mind that it was a regular South stadium with digital effects I don't know where I got that from I thought it was from the Internet or something who knows but yeah I'm going to still play it now and then I'll play it like I always did. I have a two-bamp and I have an old fender mustang version 1 the 20 watt one with the Eden speaker phone and it was like I couldn't believe that I was I like that I am. Everything is so subjective and it just shows me how much is in the head you know sorry I'm addicted to common thing and I guess replying and I don't know what to stop so okay that's about it you've opened my eyes and I'm blind so that's pretty pretty cool thing to do to the fact of how music and everything we do is just subjective and if you like it that's all that matters and that's how I'm going to think about things so in a way you kind of help me sincerely about the blind bedroom guitars stop voice

I think the skunk stripe needs a wack with a rubber mallet,,,

[@cleopatra308]

Why can’t there be a guitar con? People sell new and used guitars in one huge convention hall. I would go right now!

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: There is such a thing. They are called guitar shows. I have been to them in Texas, Tennessee, Illinois and Indiana. Collectors, hobby retailers, buy sell swap and trade and professional B.S.ers were at all of them. A fun way to get out of the house.

[@cleopatra308]

Good to know. I will look for some on the west coast

[@palidiciovermingagurainia1760]

Phil- did you serve during wartime? I thought you were in the army…

[@tomterry2662]

The marshall DSL is trash. I had one and the jcm amps rule but are a lot of money. If you cant afford a jcm then buy a used valve state or a mg series.

[@louaguado995]

I believe the fender amps had 6v6 power tubes. I guess China is still making tubes.

Slava Ukraini! Glad to know Igor is safe. Does anyone know how other Ukrainian luthiers are doing? I think Valravn are farther from the fighting and they have been active on Instagram so I think they're ok. Any others?

[@deadspeak1126]

Do you like letting other people play your main guitar? I don't. It bothers me. Take great care of it and people love to dump their sweat on it, cause they've just gotta play it.

[@johnwhitmore2531]

Two Rock and cheap pedal.

[@joelbohnenkamp4987]

$7,500 for a pedal, how stupid. I’d buy a Grunge pedal and 2 Mesa Boogies real fast.
