Get one of the new for 2024 PRS SE models. I bought one and if I close my eyes I cannot tell the difference between that and my Core PRS. Seriously, the new Indonesian ones are THAT good! Only $799 for a damn good guitar!

You can hold the Floyd Rose in place by putting a small block of wood (I sometimes use an old 9 volt battery) and use that to hold the tremolo in place. That way you can still get to the screws to tighten the strings. The Ibanez Low Pros are nice, but I still like the Floyd Rose. It's the original! Also, I'm with you on the balls of the strings at the head stock. That looks retarded!

I read the article on that. Was shocked to read that all those vocals was done by just one person.

Hey Trace. New subscriber here. Have to agree on the economy picking thing. Was recently trying to play an old Jan Ackerman lick that is really at the absolute limit of my speed skills. Couldn't play it cleanly or in time. So I carefully figured out a better way to pick it. Starting the phrase on an upstroke and incorporating three economy-picking moves cracked it.

John P ertruci uses jazz picks. Which probably adds 20% speed to any player. Personally I don't like the sharp attack but man it add speed changing nothing to your playing.

This whole explaination is overcomplicated. Whose solo you playing that you can't pick in time? Plus hammer ons and pull offs are used for this reason all the time. Some of the greatest guitarists might pick one of 3 notes but all have the same intensity.

I got faster, more accurate and overall better at picking when i stopped thinking about it altogethor…. I just track my fret work and somehow my picking hand does better that way

Good tips, Trace - thamks!

I love the nerdy deep dive…well done Trace👍…btw, Yngwie and Eric Johnson are 2 of the masters of economy picking, so there ya go!!!!

I like the new intro

I have some 1st and 2nd fret buzz on a new jackson dinky with a floyd. Might just change strings to with same or close gauge to see if that fixes the issue

sound test with chorus lol

You talk to much

My hands are small, so jazz III picks are my choice. The biggest issue i have is finding the right material, the tortex ones get destroyed so fast, i want something that would last forever

Every single time I tighten the edge zero 2 at the bridge, it snaps the top 2 strings. Went through 3 packs of strings. Waste of money, returning it for a Floyd Rose guitar.

I bought the blue chip from watching your other pick video. It is very smooth and glides across strings, but I dont know about self lubricating

Love these vids, Trace. The minutae of guitar playing details matter. Cheers brother

When I saw the tital of the video I thought you were talking about former ceo of the voltswagon group Ferdinand Piëch. Then I realised your a guitar chanel! LOL!

Pretty cool finding something like this online. Nice playing....

I can see the fishing line. 😂

Cool - great playing! 🤘

Still sound incredible!!!!

I have one (Black Stained) I LOVE IT!!!🥰 I’m a SYNTHESIST, and I don’t ‘play guitar’, me, my WOLFGANG, and my Amp PLUG-INs ‘MAKE NOISE’ 😉

I picked correctly but I also own an EVH WG Special and an EVH WG Standard. The American sound better in your demo but not by much. I would say the thick maple top on the American gives it more cut and slightly higher mids, which makes it a bit more articulate. Both sound awesome at the end of the day.

I have to be honest, I thought guitar B sounded "better" every time, the difference being that it seemed to have a bit more of a bump in the mid-range making them sound a bit more "full" or "lush", and I completely expected that to be the American, possibly due to the mahogany top, brass block or steel saddles, if not the pickups. - But it turns out it's the Indonesian, so that's kind of "lucky" for me since I have that one. - But then still, who knows what caused the difference. Perhaps it's some variation in the pickups or other electronics. - Myself, I'm looking to replace them anyway. Not because they're bad at all, they sound really good, but perhaps a little too "classic" for my taste. They come from EVH after all, which of course would model anything after a more Classic Rock type style, including sound, but not everyone who buys their guitars necessarily plays that. - Myself I tend to buy the more affordable but good quality guitars because I like to modify them anyway. Who cares that they don't have the right pickups or no brass block or things like that, they're not that expensive to replace and you wouldn't even touch the cost of the American-built one and still get a whole lot closer in terms of parts. - Yes, it looks a lot more fancy and that's cool and all, but not always necessary. It's an extra luxury that I don't need and most people don't.

7:30 - It's worth noting that the difference in metals aren't for all the parts of the tremolos. The Original has everything of steel, with the block being brass, while the Special has a steel base-plate, but the block and also saddles are of zinc alloy. - Other than perhaps sound from the saddles and sustain from the block, there isn't much different in quality as zinc alloy is still very hard. Plus, steel is important for the base-plate for the so-called "knife edges" that hook into the bridge-posts, which should be hard so that they don't wear down easily and cause tuning-issues. - While the steel might be different steel (I'm not so sure), the quality should be generally the same, other than perhaps sound and sustain to some extent. - It's still from Floyd Rose, in the end, not some (non-)licensed knock-off, and they seem to care about their products if I read the descriptions on the FR-website.

Is modx or modx+ able to endure travelling gigs?I am a little skeptical for the build quality.

A real virtuoso... I wish I could do that! 😂

I have a 5150 with kill switch....but still can't do it!!!!

I just got a WG STD like that, just the Olive Green one, and I got it based on... well, a variety of reasons, one being that I was looking at another guitar with the same color (because I was looking to make one with a certain theme), which was a Jackson Dinky, perhaps out of the same factory (unless it was Mexico), but that eventually went out of production and I never got it. - Then I noticed that there was an EVH in that color, and also because it was like a guitar a certain artist used and I wanted to model it after that idea, I decided to check out that one. - So I skimmed through some reviews and they also said it's just solid. I basically got the guitar almost "blind", but as soon as I tried it at home, I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable it felt immediately, first of all. It's comfortable to sit with, to stand with, it's not the lightest but the weight is very balanced at the body, the shape is great with the contours... Then it also plays very easily, like I got along with it immediately. And then the sound is very good, being very resonant and bright. Also, the Indonesian factories and people there in general are just very good with woodwork, so it's no surprise that after all these years they just make excellent guitars. And I'm also glad that EVH or Fender doesn't tarnish Eddie's name by just selling a very mediocre line of the products alongside supposed premium ones. I'm not sure if Wolfgang "himself" has any say in this, I bet he does, so that's probably key cause I don't think he would stand for crappy products coming out of the EVH-brand. (And just note that I'm not even a Van Halen fan or anything. I couldn't even hum through one song apart from 'Jump' perhaps.) - I just think they designed really good products and made sure they do it right for the money. Well, that said, the premium ones that cost double or multiple thousands... of course you're paying for American/Western wages first of all, but then also perhaps premium materials and parts, plus the fact that they're different with the arch-tops and bindings and whatnot. - It's not so much that they're very different in terms of playability and sound and such, but more that you're paying for a fancier version of the guitar, which is fair enough. - I happened to be looking for a matte army-green guitar, so I'm kinda "lucky" in that I wasn't looking for a super-fancy guitar in that sense, cause that would've made it a very expensive requirement just for it to look fancy. - But this guitar immediately shot up to one of my top favorite ones, out of the 10-15 I have (and some are definitely more expensive), the other top ones being a Japanese Ibanez from the '80s, a Chapman from a few years ago, another Ibanez from about two decades ago now, as well as an Epiphone from around that time. They're all very different but all have that same kind of quality of playability and sound.

Dude you have to hear Dean sing on Jeff Scott Soto's song Coming Home. Sounds just like a young Steve Perry ua-cam.com/video/DF5sHLiud1o/v-deo.htmlsi=h_fZGRRfm0QUvRdH

I am super late to this video, but I am happy I found it. I am coming from the synth side of the world and the lack of on device controls is down to a lot of those creators wanting a workstation with Arturia's engines for sound design and recording purposes. That's just been my view given how few of them i see tour vs. be at home and create. To your point, there are a lot of workstations out there and they can use those. They could also just use Arturia's midi keyboards and the $200 software you mentioned. It's great to watch someone review the keyboard for what it is: a highly playable simple instrument that you feel great taking with you on stage. I'm left with one question, though. Does it work in a church? I couldn't get that from your review.

Got the new 8570 RBS and I am astonished how nice it is. It's even better than the 3120TW Prestige, which was my benchmark. It literally plays itself. Every note sparkles, the neck is the smoothest thing on earth, and it's close to perfection. Only thing I don't like is the H-S-H the 'S' got in the way of pick , so i lowered it, lots ! I only really use bridge and neck, so no big deal.

EVH is just 2nd rate Fenders.

I've never seen your videos before but watching this, in the first 5 minutes you said "to be honest with you..." which gives the impression you're normally a liar but just this one time you'll be honest with us. It's simple psychology. Break that nasty habit. I sure hope you read the comments.

A guitar is worth what someone will pay for it. Does it make sense for a novice player to pay $4k for a guitar, maybe not. But the Standard will rarely hold up to a gigging professional musician.

You Make me throw up

Piano sounds like shit, and a lot of the other tones too..either you're used to digital sounds or you don't have a lot of experience with real organic instruments,

Found a WG used for 650 I only own 1 FR floating bridge guitar Bridge is flat and stays in tune My question is the WG guitar id like to buy has the bridge lifted up off the body,, action isn't great past 12fret I'm typically more of a Gibson guy, but can you give me any advice on critical things. I need to check on this guitar before I slapped down the money. Any info or things to look at I really don't want to buy and have to do a bunch of work on the bridge but if I do, I will ,, it looks like I need to try to make sure before I buy it hit some deep dives on the bar lol Any info to try before I buy would be much appreciated

It all depends on how you play live. I don’t think (at least I hope not) the people complaining about lack of buttons etc are complaining about editing sounds. I’m now retired and no longer gig, but when I did, I used to use the buttons and sliders all the time while playing, sure you don’t need tons, but in my opinion you need around 8 knobs and faders to assign to whatever the player wants. If all the knobs are assignable to anything, then it should do for most people, but if some are hard wired to effects etc, then it would be a big no for me, I’m sure it’s fine for many others, but I believe you are wrong when you say a blanket statement that people wanting more knobs are wrong. I have the Arturia Keylab 61 mk2, tons of knobs, buttons and faders, I also have a NI S88 mk3, Very few knobs and no faders. I love them both, but if I didn’t have the Arturia, I couldn’t survive with the S88 alone, many others are the same, the fact that still many others are perfectly happy with it is in all honestly irrelevant. There’s not just one type of player, and reviewers need to realise this. My eye sight isn’t great, I really don’t like that circular wheel/display, I find it gimmicky, again others love it. I would have preferred a large touch screen. It’s a great instrument, despite my misgivings if I was gigging, I’d buy it straight away, I still stand by my grievances though, One last thing, it still isn’t currently compatible with everything in Arturias V X collection, it’s only fully compatible with their version 9 (presuming nothings changed in the last week)Sure they will get there, but a lot of people aren’t happy on their forums.

Absolutely agree. It's hard to find a stage keyboard at this price point, at this weight, with over 30 keyboard engines!!?? I'm picking one up ASAP

heck ya man

No you're not ! Grow up kid. We don't look at things from the position of great poverty 😕 😔 Factories don't survive on just 1 sale from you. According to consumer law theory, you're NOT buying just one or 2 guitars from a brand. You're very unreasonable and very disrespectful. If you have any problems then go tell your doctor. The person who's buying factory 🏭 made IS BUYING A BIGGER collection than the buyer who's buying professionally made guitars. You chose NOT to buy the professionally made guitars. So now, you have NO EXCUSE to be complaining about mass production. Being extremely thrifty has ruined your life and is now effecting other people around you.

I just purchased the TG 500! Can't wait for it to arrive.

You made a comment about the MODX not having an editor for computer. There is an editor for the Montage/MODX. John Melas wrote it. It’s posted on Yamahas site. Just Google MODX Editor, it will come up. Sounds can be drop and drag to the MODX INSTANTLY. Just one of the features. Check it out!

The fact that Allan Holdsworth is not on it says enough . Why don't they hire people that know what they are talking about ? Frank Marino not on it ?

Despite fixing and setting up guitars myself for many decades, I still watched this video and enjoyed it a ton. You explained everything very, very well. The penny trick is super handy! And that last part about the string buzz that you couldn't figure out but eventually did is also great for others with the same rare problem. Great vid and I hope it has helped and continues to help as many people as possible. Take care!🤘

The evh exotic standard series (made in Indonesia) is the exact same as the American specials. The pick ups the pots. All except it's not a "real Floyd bridge" but qualitative equals. It has no arch top and it doesn't have a d-tuna. They are like 400 bucks an reverb

I JUST got last week my Wolfgang Special (from mexico) and man thins thing is ther F1 amongst the Porches!!! I'm used to play 10's and playing 9's is weird along weith the super low action.....but this thing plays and sounds like a monster!!! Love it!! Thank you for your review! 'Aint paying $5K for the american one....

I would complain that your criteria is obviously very very biased towards rock. But I would be a complete hypocrite since mine is as well😂.
