Grumpy Mike Guitar
United States
Приєднався 24 вер 2013
My obsession with guitars far out weighs my ability to play them, but I love them anyway. The cost of gear often surpasses my bank accounts ability to support my addiction, but I always find a way to get my fix. The Grumpy Mike Channel is dedicated to all of those who play just because they love to.
I Quit My Job!!! What Now???
The move to Tennessee is drawing nearer. It was time to quit the Day Job. Now, for what comes next.

Yes, it has been a while since I uploaded my last video. There are reasons for this and the time has come for me to give and update on what has been going on. Also, due to one of these reasons, there are going to be some big changes for me and the channel in the near future. Contact Grumpy: grumpymike335@gmail.com Grumpy On Instagram: grumpymike335

I've never owned a super strat or any other "shredder" style guitar. Well, untill now... the question is, will love it or hate it? It's certainly outside of my comfort zone. Contact Grumpy: grumpymike335@aol.com Grumpy On Instagram: grumpymike335
UnBoxing A PRS SE Swamp Ash Special
Переглядів 1,5 тис.8 місяців тому
Last year I bought two SE model Guitars from PRS, a DGT and a McCarty 594. I really like both of those guitars. So, I'm starting this year off right by unboxing my newest, a Swamp Ash Special coming from way out in the northwest. I hope it made it cross-country ok.

Josh Scott and his team at JHS have offered up the most fun pedal experience of the year. As much fun as it is to build, however, the real question is how does it sound.

It's not a Fender, but it really kind of is. It's a semi-hollow, Thinline, T style guitar with a nice traditional feel. Contact Grumpy: grumpymike335@gmail.com Grumpy On Instagram: grumpymike335

I jumped on an awesome deal for a G&L, but after ordering it I began to worry that I might have made a big mistake. Was the deal too good to be true? The only way to find out is to get it out of the box and see. Contact Grumpy: grumpymike335@gmail.com Grumpy Mike On Instagram: grumpymike335
PRS Pickup Shootout / Se DGT vs. S2 Custom 24
Переглядів 1,9 тис.Рік тому
A viewer asked which pickups I liked better and wanted me to describe the difference. Why describe it when I can demonstrate it. So here it is, the Se DGT vs. the S2 Custom 24. My original answer was that the Se DGT was my favorite. Watch to the end to see if I have to eat my words. Contact Grumpy: grumpymike335@gmail.com Grumpy Mike on Instagram: grumpymike335

GRUMPY'S FUZZ QUEST Episode #3 / The Last Of The Budget Fuzzes (For Now)
Wow, that is a really profound change of life after a quarter century. There really aren't that many people who remain with a single company for that long, kudos to you for the perseverance and tenacity that requires.
I just hate job hunting. 🤣
Good luck on your new endeavors. Love your content. Keep on keeping on. Btw, I stuck around.
Thank you
Stickin' around! I'd love some more guitar conversation that isn't synced up to whatever the big "Fender or Gibson release" of the week is.
Yup, that's something I plan on trying to do. Thanks!
All the best in your New Adventures! (I stuck around! Yes, I did!)
Thank you
@@grumpymikeguitar ✌
I stuck around, found you thru phil's show. God bless your adventure
Thank you
Good luck, be careful. Will stay tuned
Thank you
All the best! I stuck around, looking forward to more vids! 🤘
Thank you
I ALWAYS stick around!!!!!😜 Funny how the gear you displayed is pretty much all one would need to get by on a day to day basis... By the way, any chance Queen GRUMPY might make a cameo?!?!? That would be awesome... Godspeed to you both! 👉🤘👈
Thanks, it really helps with the algorithm overlord. Maybe someday Ms. Grumpy will make an appearance.
I stuck around, but TBH, I was glued to my chair. 😄 Best of luck in TN!
You gotta be careful with that c.a. glue. 🤣 Thanks.
With you always Grumpy, best of luck with the move!
P.S. I stuck around.
I stuck around. Good luck and safe travels. What is the Amazon bag? I need to grab one.
The bag is a Graoso Travel Carry Bag. Just search "Spark 40 carry bag" and it should come right up.
@@grumpymikeguitar Thanks Hoss
I stuck around. See you next time
Thank you
Dont normally comment but i did stay til the end. Safe travels and looking forward to the travel vlogs. Peace!
Thank you
Wow sweet pools over at Ike's. For sure I stuck around, quite the portable studio for the reconnaissance trip. I like it's not any old gym bag but a D'Addario bag. Good luck!
Hey Mike all the best for the jourmey and greatings from Germany , good bless you

Thank you
Great Channel, and a very nice Guy! That was a very good Review, and i think, for 200 Bucks, that is a great Guitar. I am 66, play Guitar since Age of 12, i playd allmost any Highprice Brand, Gibson, Fender, Manson, you named it, but this cheap Squier is a absolut Killer Guitar for this little Money. Greetings from Sweden Michael
Safe Travels, Hopefully the roads won't be blocked by the Hurricane Helena.
Thanks, as far as I know, the area we're heading to faired pretty well. I don't think we will have any problems. We still have a couple of weeks before we leave.
I wish you the best MIKE!
Thank you
Of course I stuck around,all the best of luck
Thanks, I really appreciate it.
I stuck around. 😊 Have a safe and pleasant move.
Thank you
I stuck around 👍😉 Safe travels; can’t wait to see what you get up to next.

Good luck on the move!
Thank you
CONGRATS Now the fun begins 🎉😊
Thank you

Thank you
Good luck Mike. Now you'll be able to change your name to 'Not as Grumpy Mike' lol😂
I stuck around
Hey thumb up and I appreciate you taking us on the inside story ride too. Seriously Good luck to your future Mike!!! To you and Mrs.
Thank you, Ms. Grumpy and I really appreciate it.
Thank you
Been subscribed since pretty much the beginning of your channel. Next, I wanted to pop in and wish you nothing but the best. Also, you're right about the Spark case; the one you have is better than the original and now I'm gonna get one thanks to you lol.
Yup, I'm really happy with this case. Thanks for being there all this time.
Stuck it out. Had to something while I ate dinner.
Thank you
Good luck, Grumpy. Tennessee isn't that far from Virginia...
Best wishes for your journey. But a question: Grumpy Mike using a Positive Grid seems like a .non-sequitur, a dichotomy, or possibly a conundrum. Just kidding. And yes, I stuck around while I was putting some dinner together.
Thanks for sticking around. Enjoy your dinner.
God bless you grumpy safe travels
Thank you
Best of luck, and have a great trip. I`ll be here when you get back.
Thank you
stuck around . travel safe
Thank you
Good luck on your travels!
Thanks Brian
That is definitely a big life impacting decision leaving your job after that long, but I really wish the best for you as you enter the next chapter of your life. Oh yeah, I stuck around, lol 🤘🏽🎸
Thanks for watching the whole video. I really appreciate it.
Yeah! I'll expect some travel video when you get on the road! You sure got a bunch of gidgets and gadgets to help you on your way. Seeya soon brother!
Dude, if you're expecting to find the "perfect casa de Grumpy" you've already lost the game....
Ok, the most perfect we can find. I have faith that we'll find the right place.
1st of all, thats an epiphone (they fixed neck dive in their SG’s) 2nd yeah thats the fix
Not so much on that Epi neck dive fix. Some are better than others, but they will still dive with a strap that's somewhat slick.
@@grumpymikeguitar i got the Epi SG Standard and it’s gorgeously balanced, straight as an arrow, and im currently using one of those vintage embroidered pattern guitar straps 🙌🙌🫶
Nice
this was helpful ..ive been looking for a deal on a sunburst DGT for a while ..I think in will skip that ..of the SE's ive liked the Zach Meyers and the custom...both regular custom and 24-08 ..ive got a trampas green ZM I bought used 600..its a favorite of mine but its problematic for performances ..coming from car to venue the guitar takes a long time to settle and stay in tune ...its ok at home but too fussy to perform with. im a blues artist ..the coil split of the custom was not demonstrated here ..I think the two pickup coil split sounds like Stratocaster switch position 2 ...I think this is an excellent tone to have available ...strat purists will scoff ..its not dead on but still its good
I have several PRS SE but not a DGT...I thought custom was clearly better no overdrive...DGT better with overdrive ..I like the 3 knob control better than 2
Man, I would take the bridge on the 24 and the neck on the DGT. Either could be your only guitar if it had to be.
I bought one last week. TC50 In Pueblo Pink Satin. I really like it
I have 2 epiphone LPs and got to play a friend's Gibson LP. There is a reason Gibsons cost more with a caviat. It depends on the year of the Gibson. Epiphones seem to get better, while Gibsons tend to have better years than others.
I thought I recognized the white guitar hanging up behind you in your epiphone 61 “les paul” sg. As a Godin Stadium. I see now for sure that is what it was. Did you ever end up doing a review of this? They tend to make outstanding guitars so I wondered what you think about it.
Yup, that's what it is. It is an amazingly good guitar. Unfortunately, not long after I got it, the pickup switch crapped out on me, no signal from the bridge pickup. I have a replacement switch for it, I just have not been able to find the time to do the work. Now, it's going to have to wait till after the move to Tennessee. Other than this one issue, however, I am extremely impressed with how good this guitar is. It's possibly my favorite T style guitar ever.
Good looking guitar. I love the way the color of the neck contrasts with the white body. I have a Godin SG summit classic in Matte Green. Has the same color neck up against the matte green body. Silky smooth neck. They make some great guitars. Their Stadium in its various incarnations has intrigued me for years. I hope you get the time to get yours fixed. Thanks for having the channel and taking the time to produce these videos. I’m sure it’s a lot of work and time consuming. Many of us out here appreciate your efforts.
@macgruff69 Thank you so very much. This really means a lot to me. I started this just to see if I could actually produce something that anyone would want to watch. Kind words such as yours make the work I've put into it worth the effort and I truly appreciate it.
It’s always the open G string buzz.
One great way to solve the neck dive problem with an SG is a Bigsby
Actually, I have seriously considered putting a Bigsby on this guitar. I've also considered going with a Duesenberg trem. What do you think?
You’re a cool dude and I’m going to take your word on this one. Im just a click away from buying a mint one for $500 used with the case also mint. What do you think? For a nice price and certainly alot cheaper than the Gibson I’m thinking it’s a deal? Also, just got the Fender player tele 2 HH and I’m really liking it. The rosewood is back and man I love it. The Sire’s are coming out look sweet too!
That sounds like a great price, just make sure it is the "Inspired By Gibson Custom" model. The best way to be sure is the cavity cover on the back. Also, make sure the truss rod cover says Les Paul. But, I'm sure you probably already know all of that. Thanks for watching the video.
Get well soon! Good luck with the move.
Best of luck Mike!
