Hey that’s the same guitar I have, just a gold top! (The standard, not the custom, I wish but I still love my baby😂) AWESOME vid and playing👍

To me, the custom almost sounds like a tele, vs the normal sounds much fuller and darker. It has a very very nice twang to it, I’ve been looking at putting 57 style Gibson pickups in mine, I want it to sound as much like a single coil as possible, while still sounding like a humbucker if that makes any sense at all… I may just be driving myself crazy at this point😂 I just want the jangliest humbucker and I think the 57s are the ones to do it! Both of these samples sounded amazing, it’s hard to compare and pick a favorite when they both sound so good!

Great clip. I own the standard. Wish I owned the custom too

the custom shops are usually more sparkly tonally, and well... cooler.

Yeah The Custombuckers has that nice sweet top end with a bit more balanced Mid-Range. Cheers -Ryan

Love the pep talk, the wokeness and the inclusion factor. Very objective!

That "Important Information" portion was not brought to you by Disney or ran through a DEI department, man. I've had the Lowest of the Lows and Highest of the Highs as far as budgets for my guitars in my lifetime. Cheers -Ryan
