The 545 sounds great! I recently got a new 545SD from Sweetwater and posted a short video comparing it to my SM57. The results are the exact same as the results in this video. More balanced midrange and a smoother extended top end than the SM57. I'd love to hear the 545SD vs a vintage 545 someday.
I loved the Toshiba, huge body and natural sound, the sm57 was tinny and harsh, contrary to popular opinion I’ve never liked the sm57 for guitars.. but people dig them and get good sounds so personal preference I guess!! might consider grabbing a Toshiba as I’d been on the fence about them in the past! Thanks Cole!
The Toshiba does sound amazing, but the SM57 shines in a dense mix where you have a bass guitar, rhythm guitar etc. Ideal world would be a blend of the 2, bringing in the Toshiba in quieter sections of music to bring some body to the sound.

I love the idea of SM57 as a reference for other mics, please keep doing it (with the same mic)!
The toshiba sounded awesome. I have to say, the playing and tones were so good in this video it made the 57 seem perfectly usable in any mix.
This channel is the absolute best! 🔥🔥🔥
That Acoustic is the real winner!
That matchless sounded great
The 545 on the Princeton 😮❤

@ totally, a blend for sections would be awesome. The 57 is classic for a reason 🤙
Another excellent video.
Thank you!
This was awesome!! The comparisons really helped to spotlight some serious sonic beauty 👍👍💯
I’ve wanted vintage 545 for some time. A bit paranoid about being sold a fake, though.
Love the Toshiba
Why didn't yo just compare the vintage 545 with a new 545? They still make them. I even own one myself.
I would have if I had one!
@@colepicksvintage That's very easy to remedy. Only 100 bucks.
Wow, what acoustic guitar are you using there? Cheers
It’s a 1957 Gibson LG-3!
We already know he picks vintage.
The 57 sounds better
Prefer sm57 and new md 421 over everything else in this comparison
