AMT M LEAD PLUS : TRUE TUBE DISTORTION?
Lets hear those thoughts and comments!
I got respect for eppiphone I have a few and I have gotten deals on used /sales /closeout specials and hope the Oasis Les Paul goes for six figures plus low budget guitar to a great iconic piece of rock history cool back story Noel gave it as a gift to one his friends and now its for sale for what I hope is mega bucks.
Check out the Tease Guitars ST-2! Remarkable! Most of the affordable guitars offered are hit and miss as far as quality control and most need a set up which defeats the “ affordable “ category when you factor in the $80 cost of a set up. The Tease guitar Strat style needed nothing, even the intonation was dead on all for less than $200!
I will! Thank you for your input!
Let’s hear your thoughts!
I have a squier affinity 2010 made in Indonesia ..beautiful guitar ..my guitar playing friends comment on it when they play it ..they love it . They arent cheap here in Australia
I had an affinity form 2004. best neck ever. sadly the body is thinner so it's difficult to replace the trem for a better one
@@hustlinc3540 There’s actually here an instance when I would recommend Temu reluctantly. They sell trem and block that fits Affinty models. The neck is still my favourite as well!
@@USTTRM yeah i do not support temu or amazon but yeah a trem replacement can be found. too bad these necks are not 22 frets
That's CNC machining for you. It makes things repeatable and way cheaper.
Thanks for demoing your gear and sharing your knowledge on them. I learned alot. I am a 2nd year self taught player and have a 2023 Squire. Love it so fat and look forward to eventually upgrading if and when the times comes.
Hey you are certainly welcome and I think you’re on the right track with what you’re already rocking!
Great job, well done.
Appreciate it!
Great content! Thanks Mike!
Thank you sir!
Mike, u have a knack for restoration. Maybe a whole new road to go down for your channel !
@@jobe7660 I admit I find it enjoyable as well.
Wow fantastic work!!
Let’s hear your thoughts!
What a beauty ! Thanks Mike

Great topic. I break the guitar market into several parts: Entry level, Player/hobby grade, Professional, Collector of modern high end limited releases, and Vintage collectors for those classic guitars. Of course there is bleedover between those buckets and it's somewhat subjective, but I think folks get the general idea. All have different markets and to some extent economic cycles. Like with choosing restaurants, if in the current economy, one feels uncomfortable spending $100-$150 per person at Morton's or Ruth Chris steakhouse, they may choose $50 per person at Outback, Texas Roadhouse or similar. But the person that spends $500 to $1000 for an A5 grade Kobe steak at a world class restaurant probably won't go to Morton's or Ruth Chris. They'll still go to the high end restaurant and simply select a different offering. The economy is relatively easy to figure out on the micro level, but so much more complex on a macro level. All I know is if I see a really good deal on a guitar that I like I'll still get it, but I currently ain't going out of my way looking at the moment. Instead I have shifted my purchases on tool deals from StewMac when they have sales and it seems I've scored good deals on quality parts lately.
I think inflation is a huge part of it. The latest charts show that non-discretionary items have taken a major hit. With prices so high on most everything, people are only going to spend on the stuff they absolutely need.
@@NoLegalPlunder Given a hard choice, yes. I appreciate your input!
👍🏻👍🏻
If I just close my eyes it sounds to me like a good Yamaha, still looking for my own Greco, thanks for sharing
Loved tge video, been deciding to go with the CV or 40th and you rally helped me make my decision. Your a Rockstar brother, thank you 👑 ❤️
Let’s hear your thoughts!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great review Mike. Catch ya tonight !
@@benallmark9671 👍
Greco great build quality much better than gibsons built in the 70s and they are a much better deal price wise.
Thanks for sharing with us, and for keeping us this informed on great gear. Whet Japanese 335 style Semihollow do you recommend?
m.ua-cam.com/video/4S517h7L2eE/v-deo.html Take a look! My suggestion.
Nice axe, respect. Looks beautiful
I appreciate the comment! Cheers!

Beautiful
Hey there! Thanks for reaching out!

Great amp I loaded mine with a celestion blue. Pulled the cheap tubes out dropped in quality ecc83s and the power tube went to a Reflektor 6p14p k series. Made a two piece open back panel and now have an excellent recording and mic'd stage amp.
thank you for this video!
I appreciate you reaching back in my catalog to watch! Take care!
Let’s hear your thoughts!
They seem like a great deal but they're made like crap. I'd avoid them.
@@NelsonMontana1234 I understand that sentiment but I have to say it’s actually hit or miss in reality and that can be said about most budget brands. I can say the bass guitars are the best in terms of build quality. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Caught the re run Mike. Good chat
Thanks Mike! Hope you are enjoying your time in the woods!
I am!
Good stuff Mike ! Hope you’re cabin stay is peaceful. Looking forward to hearing from ya.
get a white, black or sunburst mexican fender stratocaster that is used from a private sale. can't lose a dime on it. a used fender mustang amp, can't go wrong, it's got a tuner and all the effects!
@@jonbon7219 all great points sir! Thank you for sharing!

I HAVE A EPIPHONE FIFTIES LES PAUL LEFT HANDED ITS. GREAT VERY STRONG PIC UPS I HAVE IT OVER FIFTEEN YEARS STILL SOUNDS AND LOOKS AWSUM 😊
THESE EPIPHONE GUITARS ARE UNBELIEVABLE THE SOUND I PLAYED MY EPIPHONE LES PAUL AT COUNTY CLUB LOUNGE OVER EIGHT YEARS IM A LOCAL SINGER AND GUITARIST OVER FIFTY FIVE YEARS I KNOW ABOUT GUITARS 😊😊😊😊😊
I had a '77 black Custom by Greco, the 'black beauty' style Les Paul copy with three humbuckers and gold hardware. I played it a lot for about 20yrs, let it get away stupidly. It was a great guitar, one I'd definitely want back.
Well if I come across one I will certainly give you a heads up!
@@USTTRM I saw an Ibanez version of this, same guitar basically, in a DFW area pawn shop several years ago for $250. Black with plain binding like an LP Classic, fully carved top. It wasn't bad. Seemed a little expensive but they are getting rare. Prolly shoulda bought it.
I just purchased a 77 Black Beauty but it is the two humbucker type. Stay tuned for the unboxing in early September!
@@USTTRM I will be watching for that. New subscriber. Thanks for taking time to reply to me personally!
LP is pertty😎🤙
I’ll trade ya somethin for that greco! 😄
Ha! I was thinking the same thing.
I hope to see a video from that vintage guitar show.
Coming up end of September!
