Hey no harm done. You may not have been in to my guitar but you gave my Bongo bass some love. And yeah, you're not wrong. She do be sounding T H I C C (P.S. the guitar is a Jason Richardson. Slightly-less-flat 15" radius. I can't really go much flatter without my hand hurting.)
Alright, so some corrections with mine! The LTD on the left is a 401VF with a super distortion in the bridge and a 36th PAF in the neck, and Gotoh locking keystone tuners The Epi has an EMG 57/66 set and yes it has Hipshots The Grzenia does indeed have an EMG 57/66 set And the Jet City is one of the new Custom 2.Xs
@@agufish it’s so good. Basically the same as the JCA22H, but mine has the higher gain voicing with the optional effects loop and depth knob. Sounds like a mini SLO!
Yeah I was like bruh. Not only did he call it a JP but also a 150, meaning Sterling. 🤢 This dude has to get a pass though because he's not too knowledgeable about Music Man and he has admitted to that before.
Lmao I’ve done so many mods to these and the Ibanez has left my possession since I submitted in favour of a VB EC-1000. But yeah, loving this series already
Hunter, I have learned that the space occupied by a P-90 soapbar and a mini-humbucker plus its mounting ring is the same. That would allow for easy replacement of a stock mini-humbucker with a P-90. That fact, plus the fact that you and I both find the soapbar-plus-mini-humbucker combination highly unlikely suggests to me that that small modification was done. All they'd have to do is hang onto the original neck P-90 to preserve whatever resale value the axe has. Under that circumstance, I would support that mod on the basis of that remarkable combination of pickups. Indeed, I'm considering pulling the neck pickup out of my Hamer Sunburst Archtop and putting in a humbucker-sized P-90.
Fun concept. Really shows how well you know what’s been on the market over the past 10 years. Could do without the “what about you?” at the end of every one though. Keep saying it like that and we’ll just call the segment that.
*looks at a Jason Richardson guitar Hunter: I don’t bond well with John Petrucci guitars But this was fun! Can’t wait to add my new Framus to the discord when it arrives
Ive been looming for the ?grezenya? Rd for a while. They are 24 3/4 scale roads kinda like the discontinued epiphone rd roads. Eastwood also makes an rd reproduction with the original 25 1/2 scale
The wi-fi code for that ibanez at the end is RGA42FM-DEF. I saw the 7 string version of it at a local store once and that top is indeed hecking gorgeous, looks a lot better in person than in pictures IMO. Actually contemplated buying it just for the mod potential lmao, they are quite inexpensive too at like sub-400$ afaik.
I have one and it was the first guitar I ever bought. It's light as f*ck for being a Mahogany body and the neck is really thin with a 16" radius. I changed the tuners to some hipshot locking tuners and I'm planning to swap out the stock pickups for some seymour duncan black winters at some point
If I recall correctly (and Gibson haven't changed it recently) a Gibson SG has the full sized pick guard while the epip's have the batwing. So from what I understand, that would be a Gibson
I have a suggestion. Hunter, since your theme or logo is fish related (mola mola) you can use fish related names for this series, example ….. Flounder (pass) , Catfish ( for WTF type of guitars) and Shark (smash)
My boy Nate front and center as he should be, absolute Australian legend with a crippling addiction to leslies, we like to say 50% of the leslies in Australia belong to Nate and the other 50% already have or someday will. Also has a great taste in guitars.
Rad seeing you again bud! I still have the Eko, sold it to my mother when I needed $$$, but it's still in the family. Recently picked up a 1971 Fender Twin Reverb too.
Always wanted to take a sg or even a ltd viper n put in a set of zombie dust pickups put a lsd humbucker in the bridge n a p90 doomster in the neck. Best combo of pickups still want a lee malia single cut or RD.
Wow, Peavey guitars. Hadn't thought about those in a long time. Had friends in high school who would argue Fender vs. Peavey all the time. Though I do have a cheap Peavey bass that has served me well. Another brand I haven't thought of in a long time is Yamaha.
I have played guitar and bass for many years, and built them for almost as long. So, because of this I probably have more appreciation and respect than I otherwise would for shapes, and designs, that I may not really like all that much. That said, looking at the Bongo bass just makes me shake my head, and recoil. It's the visual equivalent of smelling rotten meat, or really curdled milk. It's one of the few bass designs that I genuinely have no interest in playing, owning, or especially building. I actually built a bass very similar to that design about 12 years ago, and it wasn't enjoyable throughout the experience. I was genuinely afraid that lack of enjoyment, my almost disinterest or dislike, in the instrument and the build process, would go through and show up in the instrument when the owner received it, but fortunately he really loved it! ... and wanted me to build another one just like it with six strings. I apologized and told him that I wouldn't be able to fit it into my schedule.
You liked the humbuck bridge/p90 neck combo until you saw the gold top, and said you've never seen that combo... I bet that gold top is a blast to play a set with!
I like the Eko guitar. Awesome!!! A really good guitarist can play any guitar. Every guitar gives me inspiration. Even the very bad ones. You just have to be openmided and adapt to the instrument.
Glad that you liked my axe mate. She's a '63 500/4. I plan on finding another one as I sold that one to my mother. Although I might get it back eventually.
Why would I need you to rate my guitar? I know it's awesome. 😏 Minus my ibanez RG that puked out it's bridge claw screw, that one sucks cause it's unplayable till I fix it.
Sooo... I'm an idiot and I don't know who to ask, so I'll just ask here: How do I get permission to post pictures in the submissions thread on Discord? 😬
Just kidding. Your guitars are pretty cool, keep them coming!
Was about to say - can’t wait to read the high haze of the week following that. Lol
I mean, your opinion is also kinda trash but we follow you because we like you as a whole package.
Just kidding, keep that content coming! ❤️
Would be interested in seeing community kit project builds! I’m still working on a couple of projects myself
Darn it, I was looking for you to go all rogue. Keep it up, Hunter! Love the show.
I still love you even if you hated my axe

I have a 401. This appears to be a 256. 401s typically have EMGs.
It's a 401vf. It has a DiMarzio super distortion in the bridge and a 36th anniversary paf in the neck
Oh shit Grzenia finally made it! Love my Royale Custom from them

5:48 , what about the Hagstrom Fantomen?
Check out Grzenia Guitar, if you haven't. Lots of vintage shapes with modern features.
Finally, a Grzenia!!
The green crackle is a kiesel hyperdrive
Im pretty sure that musicman is the Jason Richardson model not the jp.
What's the brand of that dope RD? Grazinia?
Grzenia I believe is the spelling of it amigo I want one myself
Grzenia
Completely unrelated but Hunter is mad cute. Just thought I'd say that and hopefully make his day better.
He be a Chad if he put on some weight
That lp goldtop pickup combination had been my favorite combination for atleast 8 years. Great for all genres!
I'm sad you didn't like my green crackle Hyperdrive, Hunter 😢
Maybe I should have put my Les Paul Goddess in there instead 😗
Dude, it was my favorite one.....only guitar today which makes everyone look at you if you play live.
I saw your guitar in the thumbnail and I knew I had to watch it. You didn’t build it for him anyway lol
@@whyuyellinginmyear3476 The looks and comments I get when I play out, too...80s dance pop/rock band, so I gotta have that pizzazz!
You had a LP Goddess and chose the Keezel??? Noooo haha
Love those Grzenia's! The newer designs are even better
I do like that Mark Holcomb PRS. Other than that, the only other one I would actually buy is that RD copy.
I agree that a P-90 of some sort in the neck & a humbucker in the bridge is a cool combination
Bro Hunter deserves a bigger following🤌🏼🤌🏼

"What do you have against green?" said the hulk. "I play my own game of SMashufish." :-)
Hopefully this series becomes a permanent installation. Fingers crossed. 🤞
Jackson KC1 “Kitchen Commando” upgrade finishes available from our Fender custom shop kitchen remodel.
Also the bongo bass or however it's spelled is pretty gnarly. Caswell uses it alot in the Berried Alive shit, one of his wife's faves
Isn’t the Music Man around 8.47 a Jason Richardson?
8:23 I'm 99% sure this is not the bfr jp150 koa top but it's a Jason Richardson Cutless
If I recall correctly (and Gibson haven't changed it recently) a Gibson SG has the full sized pick guard while the epip's have the batwing. So from what I understand, that would be a Gibson
So now the old Epi Custom headstock is the cool one? 🤔
Your such a single cut man, I think there was a number of smashes for me. I love that gold top with the mini humbucker in the bridge & P90 in the neck
I have a suggestion. Hunter, since your theme or logo is fish related (mola mola) you can use fish related names for this series, example ….. Flounder (pass) , Catfish ( for WTF type of guitars) and Shark (smash)
9:52 Those are not Blackouts, those are passive Duncans in an 8-string soapbar shape, which you should tell by the pole pieces.

So if we include pictures of pets, is it an automatic smash?
If your pet is a cockroach then yes. :-)

Wait...what brand was that RD shaped guitar?
Grzenia Guitars
That EC model for third pic is is a EC-401 FMV with Dimarzio 39th anniversary pickups stock with the cream color I believe but they are Dimarzio.
Love the way u slide the sponsor in lol
Prs actually did the bat inlays some years ago... cant remember the model... was a SE signature model
Oh, he doesn't like mismatched bobbins, can't wait until he gets to my epi lol
The red music man with the bongo bass is a Jason Richardson signature guitar not John Petrucci.
Wow, Peavey guitars. Hadn't thought about those in a long time. Had friends in high school who would argue Fender vs. Peavey all the time.
Though I do have a cheap Peavey bass that has served me well.

dang i got here early commenting for the algorithim
Community love! Thx dude
Personally I would have passed more of them. But I definitely agree that P90's in the neck are awesome!
The flamed top Ibanez looks to me like a RGA42FM-DEF Dragon eye burst :)
Damn I 5got this was a thing, I wanna show off my mid-90’s Jackson that has only one functioning pickup and an OG floyd Rose 🖤🖤
The ltd is a 256, trust me I have one, the 401 has 24 frets and the epiphone did have an ebony board, not hating, just pointing it out

Mini hum p90 is the best config hands down. They’re rare so I only have 1 of them, normally it’s p90 normal hum / 2 p’s
Keep the talking videos coming. I love these too!

Keep doing these videos man! Make ‘em like 20 minutes if you can lol

Awww man! Guitar version of the Bongo would be DOPE!!!!!
Reluctant Smash: I didn’t think I’d be called out like this. 🤣
I hated my SG standards so I sold them and bought a 1961 Les Paul/SG Jr and it rips. The single p90 flat out roars and no neck dive.
I need to know more of those RD guitars... I can't find them anywhere
That sponsor transition was kinda horrible and beautiful at the same time 😂
That first SG has same pickup setup as my sg, mine has chrome knobs though.
This needs to comeback
I think the guitar ver. of Bongo bass is Majesty xd
The Peavey was either a Raptor, or a Predator.
Nice video, it was really interesting ! how can i submit my guitars??
That LTD is actually a EC-401V.
Looks like an Ibanez rga in tigers eye
The bongo guitar exists, it's called majesty

Bongo basses are the bass equivalent of the 335. Like you said, bulbous.
Cool
Im on a hunt to get a pink or purple gibson les paul custom.
Submission #7 is a Jason Richardson Cutlass.
Referring to the bongo
So you wouldn’t hit smash if someone posted a say, Carl Thompson in the chat
Any plans on a Flying V with Harley Benton maybe?
Hmmm weird, the server was saying i'm not authorized to post in the smash or pass
