The Best SUSTAIN I've Ever Heard! (amazing little details on this guitar)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- Wood pickup rings that match the neck, a graphite nut, an ash wood body, a roller bridge, and an electric cobalt blue finish... with matching headstock. There's a lot of cool poured into this guitar. The part that really impresses me is the sustain though! The notes just never end. This is the Bootlegger Hounder. California based with manufacturing in South Korea. Let's check this out!

That has so much sustain I paused the video and it kept playing.
The small strip of matching color in the headstock is really what sells it for me
"the sustain. just listen. you can go and have bite..... you'll still be hearing that one."
Perfect to play the Star Spangled Banner on...
I like what they did with the headstock.
Now that the video is done. Yeah you did a great job pointing out some of the fantastic ergonomics of that shape great review max! I really do love all i saw that things great
Much appreciated!
Love it! My neighbor just got one identical to this one. He has my old Mesa Boogie amp and my old Ibanez tube screamer. I got to try it out. It impressed me more than any Gibson or PRS i have tried in the past 10 years. My only slightly negative thing with the guitar is i don't have one. Great guitar! Thanks Max!
Bootlegger seems to have alot of cool guitar options. Wish I could go see their store.
The best sustaining guitar I've ever owned was a mid 70's Shelby SG copy that was made in Japan. There was just something magical about it. The tone, playability and of course the ringing sustain! It was my go to guitar until I sold it many years ago. Great review and demo as usual Max!
She's a real beauty with amazing sustain. The sustaining guitar i have personally owned is a 78 Dean ML that sustained for days, it was the most resonant guitar I've played. Killer video
Thank you!
Objection SUSTAINED!
Hey, MAX! Thanks for another great video! I freaking love unique guitars and this one is that. And besides the sustain, that blue color is unbelievable. Thanks, bud!
My pleasure!
I'm digging the string-thru, bridge, layout. No nonsense. My style
yeah, because vibrato is nonsense
@simbadlemarin1815 yeah it is if you like staying in tune
That's a cool guitar, headstock is killer... sounds good, nice Demo Max!
Good job Max !!! I love the blue. Like an electro glide color. The sustainability is super strong, you almost have to fight it to make it shut up
Wow! Great guitar and the color is awesome! Thanks!
Nobody talks about how ridiculously comfortable the jazzmaster style shape is it's so unbelievably ergonomic i always kinda hated them because of weird pic guard choices and then one day i picked on up wondering how they still sell. And was amazed by how natural and comfortable it felt. But that one looks great and sounds fantastic! Is it already an available model?😮😮😮❤❤❤❤
Nice Guitar, note rings out forever! Fantastic! 👍
Sounds amazing
No lie about the sustain! If it was just audio, I would think sustainiac. Which I love, and had installed on my Squire strat (HSS). love your work, and also bought a Firefly LP, based on your video on the blueburst (the one you took the saw to). Still have nightmares about that.
Bravo to bootlegger axes they are truly unique ❤❤❤❤
Max ; Bootlegger has updated the guitar to a new improved standard, there is a serious level of thought and engineering into that product. For what Gibson or Fender selling at that price point; Bootlegger has blown away the competition with a vastly superior product. 73 Earnest K5EWM.
LOVE it!!!!! Definitely going to have to get one!! Thanks dude.
Right on!
Insane-ustain 🎸🎶
Beautiful guitar.
Man this guitar sounds good!!!!
Great specs overcome the lesser sustain properties of a bolt neck to a set or neck thru design. Your playing intro was your best ever.
You gotta love the ole Max triple-tickle arpeggio.
Lol. That's his signature demo technique. Never fails!
@@oldschoolfunkster1 I knew people would know what I meant by triple-tickle. lol
@@allenmitchell09 ... Lol. Thank you for clearing my insanity. I thought I was the only one hearing it. Lol. I just never knew what it was called, much less that it had a name. Lol.
I guess it's our meticulous ADHD in action. Lol.
I wonder if Max even knows he does this.🤔
@@oldschoolfunkster1 Yeah Max knows bc he put a heart on the comment. My worry now is the reverting down to the double tickle. We'll have to stay tuned.
@@allenmitchell09 ... OR... he quadruples it! Also known as The Shredmans Revenge.🤨
Sounds great
Lovely review! I wonder if the unusual wooden surrounds of the pickups contribute to the sustain?

Max, beautiful headstock too.........right
Thanks for sharing

Long sustain can be a very useful feature, as it expands what you can do. Sometimes it can present issues. I've got an old garage sale Yamaha BB200 Bass that sustains for days. I've never played anything else like it. It is also hyper-dynamic.
I always keep a loaded six string on the back of my Hadley Davishodt motorcycle.
I like it, no need to change a thing on it.
my best sustaining guitar, Jackson DK2S mij.
My '86 Kramer American Stagemaster Custom sustains for days.
Best sustain is my Charvel tele🎉
It's nice
Basswood & Alder🎸👍🙌👌😊
Nice Ash
Thanks! 😉
My best sustaining guitar is my Ed O'Brien Stratocaster, which, to be fair, has a Fernandes Sustainer at the neck position. But it will hold a note indefinitely. Fun guitar!
My best sustaining guitar is the Bullfighter neck through I got last year, and it doesn't sustain anywhere near as long as that blue monster. I'd love to check out the features on that guitar!
I have a Harmony H88 Stratotone Dublet the wood is the same. It has a gold foil S style PU at the neck but I swapped out the bridge for a Duncan PAF and put on a Mustang bridge as the original bridge did not have adjustable saddles. I too get that crazy long sustain. I love that this over the top looking very camp looking retro guitar in a sun yellow is expected to put out a surf tune. BUT...thru my Plexi I watch the jaws drop at a gig as it takes out the back wall of a club, LOL Yes it too is a tad heavy. It also has a baseball bat neck . In my case I am not using a figure of speech.
I love offset guitars. Would love to see a offset screamer with a Floyd rose tremolo
That guitar screams!
Forget the guitar 🎸… it’s nice and all… but have you done a playthrough of that Boss pedal? I’m actually more interested in that now lol (in 2024 any moderately built guitar can sound awesome with the right amp or amp sim)
That is a great guitar, my only issue is why make a bounce humbucker guitar with only one volume pot? Especially when the pickups are hot.
Reckon they'd do one of those in a lefty with Lauler P-90's and pushback wiring? 😊
Can u review ibanez gio grg121sp bmc?
Pleas review the acepro headless guitars!
Never owned a guitar shape like that. I guess it's a Jaguar shape? As far as sustain I have a slime bolt Razorback from 2010ish. I upgraded all of the parts of the Floyd Rose to brass. It has a dime bucker in the bridge and that thing sustains for days It has a 37 mm brass block as well as titanium string blocks and a brass claw. The pickups on the guitar you're playing sound a little bit microphonic but they do sound good but they're definitely high output. I have a new black winter set in a guitar and those sustain a lot as well. Okay Max Thanks again buddy See you on the next one! ✌️ Peace out....
Max, I notice those style of pickups (split-style humbuckers) are typically found on classic Tele Deluxe axes! And yes, those pickups seem stupidly HOT! Am I reading things wrong here??? Finally; Does this axe have a 3-way or 5-way switch?
Best sustain guitar I have played id my EVH 5150.
What are the outputs of the pickups, did you measure them?
Shhhh don't tell them you can directly mount the pickups 😂😂😂
For $800 it is worth the taking... I might need to get one sometime 😅
Numero uno
Way to go!
@@GuitarMAXMusicdid I win the guitar lol
-5 for vibrato (which is what you do when your guitar lacks sustain)...
Intrinsic/unplugged sustain vs amplified/artificial sustain.
The warble (when you stop using vibrato (the sound going softer and louder)) is an indicator of bad sustain, actually.
Do you play all the guitars through heavy processors, or something? They all seem to sound the same. How about a direct into amp demo, one day?
Vibrato extends sustain.
But you backed off that on the 2nd & 3rd run through examples...
But ultimately, just play a note and hold it with zero vibrato.

The guitar is 🥺🤏sooo close to being just ... 😚👌poifect!
...but it's the pickups being too close together that just wrecks it for me...aesthetically speaking. Is it 24 frets...? Looks to be 22, but the cramped pickup placement makes it look like 24...🤔
And I don't think that's just from the wide range humbuckers being jumbo sized, either...cos Sonic Youth jazzblasters don't look close like that - albeit, there is a pickguard... 🤷♂️

→ In all a cool offering Max, thanks for bringing us another obscure, cool guitar. It's somewhere between a Fano Jm6 (my dream guitar), and a Mark 2 Fender Meteora (the HH, AOM string thru ones...came in this colour, aswell as candy red & surf green)...with a splash of Ibanez-esque looking inlay arrangement...
It's everything i love....but fir the pup placement.
Suggestion to Bootlegger: Maybe make it 21 frets, and squeeze the pickups further apart. Then you'll have a banger!
😎🤙
Don't let Nigel Tufnell see this.
Are these knockoff Ballager guitars?
i'd rather have a schecter C-1 Platinum.
Second
Playing slow to show us the sustain is more melodic than all the unnecessary shredding that seems to be de rigueur these days.
Not really
The string through body and bridge type, along with how the nut is cut. Will in most cases make the biggest difference. People that claim pickups are all that matter, are trying to over simplify things. Not all guitars sound the same. That's just a fact. Yeah, it seems the rosewood trend has passed, and many fretboard woods have little to no character. Most are dyed way too dark and they all look the same. I prefer fretboards with some variances in the grain patterns, and more subtle stains. Character. Black has zero character. I must have seen 10 new guitars this last week or two, with all black fronts including the fretboards. Boring!
rosewood wasn't a trend, guitar makers were restricted from buying it for a while or it wasnt harvested for a while , basically it wasn't attainable for for a few years, i think and hope its readily available again, always been a standard fretboard material, never ever a trend
@@tankdarla637 Thanks for the update. I know all about it, and must have used the wrong words for you? My point wasn't specifically about when or why rosewood was or wasn't being used. It's the simple fact most people don't need to immediately go back to having only rosewood on all their fretboards, once it's readily available again. And so my statement stands, when you understand it's context. The "trend" of using rosewood commonly on most production models, seems to have passed. Right?
The wood pickup rings and partially matching headstock looks odd to me. Aesthetically, they don't really work well, IMO. The rest of the guitar is cool.
Oh I think the colors and headstock swatch are awesome but that’s cool. Party on!
Is your hair longer than your wife's?
great but not so cheap guitar ... 800$ it is not really a bargain ...
$800 is the new $500 it seems
