Fano JM6 Alt de Facto HSS Strat Trem Guitar w/ Suhr V60LP Single Coils & SSV Humbucker – Rose Gold
What Do We Think?
Name a tone and there’s a good chance this guitar delivers! Between a 3-way toggle, a push/pull on volume pot to engage the middle pickup, and a push/pull on tone pot to coil split the humbucker, there are 10 distinct tones immediately accessible under your fingertips.
And we couldn’t ask for more from the Suhr pickup in this build. The SSV humbucker in the bridge measures about 9K. It leans vintage but is round and robust in the low and middle registers. The top end is vibrant, which makes it a perfect pairing with the single coils in neck and middle. This is a very dynamic pickup that responds well to both the volume and tone knobs on the guitar.
The V60LP in the neck position is throaty but well-enunciated. Put the 3-way toggle in the middle position and you will find the perfect snap of the neck backed up by some extra punch and compression from the bridge pickup.
Here’s where things get really interesting: engage the middle pickup via the push/pull pot on the volume knob. With the 3-way toggle in neck position, you’ve got that quacky Strat tone going as you mix the neck and middle pickup (also a V60LP). This “in between” position is surprisingly open and chimey though, too!
Middle and bridge delivers some delightful Strat spank but with a bit of midrange honk rolling naturally off the bridge humbucker. Coil split the humbucker via the push/pull on the tone knob, and you will be in funk heaven.
The Gotoh 510T 2-point tremolo features a steel block, modern saddles, and a superb tremolo arm design. The arm is threaded on the inside and the has an adjustable collet to take out the play that plagues traditional S-Style trems.

Fano MG6 Oltre Single Pickup Lollar Imperial Guitar - Candy Apple Orange
Переглядів 29День тому
What Do We Think? Candy Apple Orange, Leopard Print pickguard, single open coil humbucker and a trem can only mean one thing. Rock ‘n’ Roll! If you’re looking for a not-so-average offset guitar, this is the ticket. Although there’s only one pickup, there’s quite a few killer tones thanks to the series/parallel mini toggle. In the standard series mode there’s a strong midrange with great articul...
Fano JM6 Oltre Maple Neck Humbucker Guitar - Bull Black
Переглядів 4414 днів тому
What Do We Think? This is a resonant one! Between the midrange growl of the alder body and the snap of the maple neck and fretboard, the guitar sounds very balanced acoustically before even plugging in. And you can feel it through your chest as well. The low register is powerful and impactful. The voicing of Fano humbuckers is robust. They lean a hair darker than some other PAF-styled offerings...
Fano GF6 Alt de Facto Lollar Imperial Semi-Hollow Guitar - 3-Tone Sunburst
Переглядів 9414 днів тому
What Do We Think? This guitar has a deliciously warm and robust bottom, with an articulate top end. The body is constructed of solid alder (even the carved top), giving it that edge in clarity over its laminate-construction semi-hollow brethren. With this Fano GF6, think Allman Brothers if Dickey Betts played a semi-hollow. The entire guitar weighs under 7lb, so it’s a real shoulder pleaser too...

The three pickup positions each interject their individual voices in complementary ensemble. Turn each on or off in any combination for a total of seven variations. The neck is uncluttered and throaty, the middle balanced and defined, and the bridge delivers a gloriou...

Another ingredient is the pair of Lollar El Rayo humbuckers, punchy and with hints of single-coil...

We spec’d this guitar with a very complementary Lollar P-90 and Vintage T pickup configuration. We’re going to start counter-intuitively here, and that might give you a hint at the versatility of this instrument. The Lollar Vintage T in the bridge position handles gain ve...
Knaggs Kenai Swamp Ash Guitar w/ Bare Knuckle Mules - Black/Crème Drift
Переглядів 138Місяць тому
What Do We Think? This guitar hits hard and heavy! It’s not the product of hot or aggressive pickups, but rather the responsive nature of the swamp ash body, maple neck and ebony fretboard. The lows are deep but firm. The mids are powerful, yet articulate. The highs are round and resonant. The Bare Knuckle Mules are voiced with an ear towards a set of ’59 PAF’s, but built around Alnico IV magne...

With a moderately low output of 5.6K and 5.8K for neck and middle, respectively, you have lots of room to hear your amp breathe and respond to every nuance of your pick attack. The combined position is juicy and quacky, without too much fil...

Переглядів 2485 місяців тому
What Do We Think? We promise you’ve never played another guitar quite like this one. From the Redwood body to the custom Fralin pickup set, this is a Shelton that has perhaps found a way to outdo itself! The neck position is fat, nice and chewy but with a distinctly single-coil leaning sparkle to the mid- and upper registers. Certainly not to be described as bright, but it has a bite and clarit...

    This was a great demo. I like your energy and excitement about the amplifier too. You got me pretty excited about it. I’ve been looking and considering this amp for about a week or so I don’t play super high game a great deal but I do get up there pretty aggressive however I was also considering the Friedman JEL 20 because I really don’t need the full 45 W most people don’t these days but I know that has a great master volume on it as well, so as well as independent from what I understand, you can get bedroom tones with that master volume on that amplifier either way I am curious about the quality of the amplifier. What do you think about the inside? Did you actually open the chassis? Thanks just curious is it worth the two grand? 14:16

    • @GuitarsToBePlayed

      Hi Adam, I haven't opened up this particular one but I've seen others in the new series! Through-hole PCB with the real deal components all hand-soldered, not cheap surface-mounted stuff. So essentially what has changed is the connections from component to component are no longer individual wire leads, but rather pathways on a PC board. It's a monster of an amp, but has an equally-impressive clean side. The master volume is excellent. You can also get some different "feels" out of the amp by working the channel volumes low and the master higher, or vice versa to control how hard the power section is working.

    • @GuitarsToBePlayed
      @GuitarsToBePlayed 3 місяці тому

      Hi there, Mike did this video demo for us using one we had in stock. Do you have the new version of the Cub or a prior version? If you are looking for a 2-channel amp, I find the Black Cat to be a lot easier to dial in because you have separate volume (preamp gain) and master volume controls over each channel. The Cub has an overdrive switch which extends its flexibility well beyond that of a typical 1-channel amp, but the amount of "bump" you get is very dependent on where you are running your preamp control. With the Cub, you can do some tap dancing between two master volume settings to even things out but it's a little more involved than dialing the Black Cat, in my opinion.

    • @simonpanter3627

      I have the most recent 30w Cub and I really like It. I'm on my Winter break from my band and go back in April so I haven't used it live. One thing I noticed is that when switching masters with the foot switch theirs an audible pop in the speaker. I contacted Bad Cat and was shocked when the response from John was. I'm to busy to help you, reach back out in a month. I've never in 4 decades of playing professionally and buying gear been treated that way. I really like the amp but might just sell it out of principal. he could have easily said I'll send you another foot Switch to try and see if that's the culprit and just send him one back, but no. It was bad treatment. If the FS had soft silent switches it would probably avoid that issue.@@GuitarsToBePlayed

    • @GuitarsToBePlayed
      @GuitarsToBePlayed 5 місяців тому

      Hello! ESP has discontinued this color but they still make the solid black one. The backs of the necks are gloss. Depending on the composition of your finger oils, it is possibly some folks will find a gloss polyurethane finish to get sticky while playing. But that has less to do with the finish and more to do with what your hand is putting off. More traditionally what folks are talking about when they say a neck gets sticky is a vintage style nitrocellulose finish, which reacts to the oils of the hand and can get gummy.

      All good! So i'm actually the original person who ordered this exact guitar through Mario Martin. Last year just before the build was finished I fell into some tricky financial times. Since then I literally went to order another guitar that would have been pretty much the same thing haha I can't believe it hadn't sold yet! It was meant to be I think.

    DO you think its necessary to get 2 at the same time? Or just for private usage 1 will be fine, and if needed just buy the second later?

      You can certainly record with 1 mic! You will position it somewhere in the middle between where we placed the two mics, and you can experiment to find the position that comes closest to capturing the sound you are looking for.

    Killer! Is it me or is the tc6 body slightly larger then a tele ?

      Hi Brian, good eye! I believe the TC6 is about 1/4" wider across the larger bout. And then fairly close to a Tele at the waist and the smaller bout.

    Anyone know if one of these could replace a franz soapbar p90 in a Guild Starfire Jet 90?

      Hello, I just looked at the dimensions for the current production of the Guild Franz soapbar P-90s. Those share the same dimensions as a standard P-90 soapbar so these TV Jones soapbar-sized pickups should fit as a replacement. You'll just have different screw locations where the pickup mounts to the body underneath.
