Love everything about this video. You make that guitar sing. Collings! Send the man his own!

[@burkeingraffia]

I'm on a train traveling north along the western coast of Italy. It's raining hard, and I'm listening to this beautiful music. Thank you.

[@gregupson5255]

Tim is one of my favorite guitarists.

[@pusheen666]

Ahhhh... The magic of an unbelievable player on a guitar that equals his caliber! Stunning!

[@x3a3x3]

That guitar sounds so beautiful it makes me wanna cry … specially after seeing the price 😭😭😭

[@bawilms]

Beautiful rendition of 'You Don't Know Me' on a marvelous guitar!

[@WickBeavers]

Woke up- sleepless- around 2:15AM and came upon this. Drained the junk outta my mind and put me back right listening. I’m gonna check out this guitar and I vow to try to play it like you to bring a little peace back in. Really nice and great sensibility here.

[@PeterPlanker]

Just finished a long day at work. Now I am sitting here just listening to you play. This gives me so much. Thank you, Tim!

[@PascalFuhr]

What a beauty. The guitar sounds so old - in the very best possible way. And as always great playing!

[@kevinmac59v2]

Tim you are such a joy to watch and listen to!! God bless you my friend!!!!!

[@stevenbeecheymusic]

Stunning, lovely to hear you on one of these Tim. Cool tune too!

[@stickman55100]

Fabulously sensitive playing and a great chord melody arrangement of an iconic standard tune. I love this guitar. It’s really comfortable to play, sounds great and it’s super lightweight. Probably the best Jazz guitar I’ve ever owned, but it’s also super versatile.

[@shady0079]

It has it's own unique voice ! Quite Lovely.

[@gregmock6808]

That guitar put a twinkle in your eyes when you were playing it Tim....it's a wonderfully voiced instrument. Great playing as usual!

[@张明-n1r]

Thank you Tim for playing it very well

[@avantguitar379]

As soon as you hit those first few notes, jeez. Lovely sounding thing!

[@stuartwatson3648]

Beautiful sound. Thanks for sharing

[@bronzewand]

Lovely stuff.. a duo between yourself and Julian would be heaven on earth! ❤

[@BGreat2]

Beautiful as a lovey dream. Thank you Tim.

sweet sounding guitar and of course your playing is so great. thanks for sharing Tim.

[@KeithMcConchie]

Wow! That guitar sounds amazing! So clear and articulate. Great playing as always.

[@figueroa661]

Beautifully played, in the hands of a true master. Thanks for the excellent demonstration!

[@banjomandan7199]

Pure musical joy! Thank you Tim!

[@Srvtecej]

This is like a tele but more info in the notes. Has a slight bloom around it. Very enjoyable.

[@glenturrell4485]

Just damn gorgeous Tim. Thank you! Lovely instrument responding beautifully to hands that know so well.

[@MrPhotomiked]

Yeah….I would look forward to a Collings model TL! And a TL +JL duet album collaboration…with such talent there is something to smile about in the midst of our current global cacophony!

[@titi64230]

Hello , nice review , was waiting for it ! You ve talk about this ellisonic for long time,hope to hear one on your tele ! Great blues stuff at the end, i ll try to work on it

[@BV_Beve]

it is a fabulous guitar & it is Tim being showcased & played so well by you !

[@KrenarCilkuGuitar]

That sounds amazing, Tim!

a. beautiful guitar played by a great guitarist , you and this guitar sound so good , hello from france

[@stevemeadows]

I've been wanting to hear someone other than Mr. Lage play this. Thanks for the great demo, you make it sing!

[@deweydecimal1446]

I could listen you all day. You tell the greatest stories on guitar 😊😊

[@cliffirddelbridge2810]

Beautiful Tim

[@j.schaefer5622]

Beautiful guitar and wonderful playing. I would try the Ellissonic pickup in a hollowbody or tele. It could be worth it.

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Be great if Tim did a video playing a Gretsch Duo Jet with Dynasonics. Sound similar to the Lage?

[@daveleoni2683]

Awesome sounding guitar, and playing, Tim! Is there a chart available for “You don’t know me”?

[@simondixon6761]

Guitar sounds wonderful in your hands fella! 🔥🔥🔥

[@portsideguitar1981]

I saw a couple of these come out in lefty, and they got bought immediately. Classy guitar and some lucky folks who got them.

[@soulSaysHi]

Wow! I’ve been wanting to try one of those since they came out. Beautiful!!

[@michaeldinunzio3002]

Great sound! I love it!

[@Mando4Dan]

Such beauty in the hands of a master. One queries what it might sound like in the hands of mere mortals?

[@DoktorClarke]

Great video! Have you had a chance to compare it with a Gretsch DuoJet?

[@TimLerchGuitar]

Unfortunately not, this was a very brief encounter.

[@modularsketch]

with strong willingness buying this guitar and without any chance to play on it before, I'm trying to watch every clip with this. Tim is great guitarplayer and presented some new colors of this guitar. I've mentioned that both Julian and Tim played on this guitar very accurate. It looks like this guitar (or just this original pickups) reproduce all nuances of your playing and maybe (too) picky on every note that described in terms of "clarity" and "articulation". Is this sound on the other side of smokey and dark sound or just could be changed via tone and volume pots?

[@kenster3554]

Please someone tell me how that special effect is achieved at 9:11. Is it drumming against the fret with the side of pick?

[@TimLerchGuitar]

Yep that’s it. Hold down a dom 9 chord and bounce the pick two frets above the chord.

[@kenster3554]

Thanks Tim! Killing it as always!

[@TheBassD]

Sounds beautiful Tim. Is this through a princeton, or is there another amp you favour these days?

[@TimLerchGuitar]

Yep, Princeton

[@graemeelliott4147]

Sublime playing and always Tim but I still prefer the tone of the Tele. Many thanks for sharing.

[@nachobolso69]

Great sounding guitar and amazing player. What amp did you used on this video ?

[@TimLerchGuitar]

Princeton reverb

[@davebroders2912]

Remarkable Tim !!

[@maxpeck4154]

I have a Novo Serus J and I'm growing tired of the traditional p90s. I needs bit more sparkle. I should have my head examined but Ron Ellis makes these pickups in a p90 form factor. Would you recommend these or should I save a ton of money and try maybe a Lollar rod magnet p90 instead?

[@Junterhack]

I was think about doing a Ron Ellis PU swap on my Novo. I wonder what these Ellisonic PU's would sound like in a Serus J?

[@maxpeck4154]

@@Junterhack I'm wondering the same thing...I will likely go with either a Firebird pickup, which I love, or a alnico rod p90. I just can't see spending $700 on PICKUPS for crying out loud

[@grahamaldridge]

Julian Lage has one in the P90 cover in his regular Nachocaster T. I picked a 470JL used in the UK and the pickups are *absolutely stellar*.

[@mooseymoose]

Do it.

[@maxpeck4154]

@@mooseymoose I ordered a set of used TV Jones T-Armond pickups, which are basically the same thing - a Dynasonic in a p90 housing. I'll be installing them this week.

[@batmonkey]

Magical playing and an incredible-sounding guitar. Thanks for sharing!

[@seanmarshallmusic]

Always noticed how the notes seem to bloom more on this guitar

[@paulhicks3595]

Lovely sound. Perfect really. I only knew the Ray Charles version of the song, I’ll check out Cindy Walker’s.

[@TimLerchGuitar]

Rays version is the high water mark, Cindy wrote it not sure she ever recorded it. Eddie Arnold had the original hit.

[@murraykuun6009]

Terrific all round

[@legaleagles3654]

[@tedbear2441]

9000 euros - I might be a good enough guitarist by the time I've saved the money.

[@richardgullison9980]

Can anyone help me out with the voicing at 3:09?

[@TimLerchGuitar]

That passage is F(#11) E7/D A7 D7/C

[@bluesintheblood]

Just wonder how they compare side to side with a Gretsch '53 jet VS

[@girliedog]

I don't think your student is getting that guitar back. Very sweet sound and wonderful playing.

[@MichaelNeverisky]

Man... you sound exactly like Tim Lerch on that guitar!

[@DoctorDave5]

Nice 👍

[@shallyshal1]

Notes just pop out in the lead. Beautiful sounding. At that price point, it had better be Wow ! Shally

[@tyroneshuz]

It's the Wizard, not the Wand. Tim would sound that good on a cigar box with strings. Of course a great instrument is inspirational, but an intermediate player all of a sudden wouldn't sound like that. Tim always sounds like Tim, as we all sound like ourselves. Great work, as always, Tim.

[@mattrogers1946]

Everyone on the internet uses that cliche, but you never actually see it. Having a quality instrument makes a difference.

[@tyroneshuz]

@@mattrogers1946 Put a MIM Tele or a Squier Classic Vibe in his hands and see how little difference it makes. I'm an instrument snob myself, but I've at times had to play a "less than" instrument. Wasn't as fun for me, but the audience was just fine with it, and I could still make music.

[@mattrogers1946]

@@tyroneshuz Sure, Tim can make a cheapo instrument sound good. But he could make a great guitar sound glorious.

[@rogerkunkel1920]

Is it fully hollow? Sounds like it.

[@titi64230]

It s chambered i guess, like duojets

[@Crow-jg4sj]

They're worth the money

[@thejamnasium6447]

Tim Lerch is the Ted Greene of Tim Lerches

[@chrisgallardo2130]

Was just looking at these yesterday. Now I'm not sure if I want another tele, a Tim Bram tribute arch top, or one of these.

[@freddymclain]

24 7/8" scale it says. I believe that you, of all people, should own one o' those.

[@MatthewSwasta]

...absolutely beautiful playing. That said, I'd pass. Julian didn't touch it back in Dec 22 in Charlottesville, VA. His wife played one or two songs with it before he came out, if I remember correctly. She was also wearing a Meshuggah t-shirt. Very cool couple! I'd prefer a Creston tele style...

[@АйратСитдиков-н3я]

Very like, how you play that tune.I going to learn it))

[@torontolarrivee7965]

Scale is 24 7/8 btw

[@paulgerards6494]

But JL almost never plays this guitar LIVE! ??? Because it sound quite WOW!

10 K ? They're more in the 7s in the U.S. Yes,.... a sweet axe @darklylit a family heirloom that can be enjoyed for many many years.

[@jazzman1954]

Not sure what Gretsch think about this!

[@plunkymonkey]

It’s based on a DuoJet. I’m sure Gretsch wishes that they had talked to Julian first…

[@jazzman1954]

@@plunkymonkey Yup, it’s obviously a Gretsch erm… influenced design. He’s not a big enough name for Gretsch but I suspect they won’t be too happy to see this guitar on the market. Just my thoughts. I might be wrong.

[@kyledriscollmusic]

you sound great, it's a Collings so of course it's an amazing guitar, but it takes a real player to make it sound that good

[@richsackett3423]

It's Super Gretsch!

[@vecernicek2]

Wonderful guitar, but the price tag looks more like a down payment on a house.

[@shaalis]

Ahhh dynasonics. Wonderful, punchy and if you have a light touch, you get th erewards. But man... they are unforgiving pups. They amplify EVERY bad bit of playing if your technique suffers.

[@Teachering]

A nice guitar, no doubt. But, expensive!
