      Gibson has been making guitars for loser Hipster Douchebag queers for years.
      Players with real talent need a reliable, quality, instrument.
      Ibanez and Jackson have been filling a need for years, but this is the first company geared toward guitarist with ACTUAL talent.

      @@CyclesAreSingularities as far as any Jackson guitar - they are heads above many of the mass market brands available.
      Their custom shop? Only listen to people who can PROVE that they have dropped the money on a guitar from there and actually had an issue. I would be surprised to be able to find more than a couple, if any, complaints.
      Gibson is about the only company with balls that big.

      It's one of the strongest brand for the second hand guitar that the price didn't drop too much.
      And you can sell fender much easier and faster compared to other brand.

    @CedricSatterfield 2 роки тому

    My only complaint about my 1.6 is the fairy distans between the stretching pegs. I can barely turn one without hitting the adjacent pegs and my peg winders don't fit into the space either. Not that I have to adjust it hardly at all but it does come up during string changes.

  • @taylorwyatt333
    @taylorwyatt333 6 років тому

    Ola, I have a little case of O.C.D. with symmetry , so I was wondering what it would take to get a Randall Satan 50 housed in the normal 100 or 120 watts head casing to make the half or full stack look better. I'm weird and think these smaller heads look fucking stupid on four by twelves, for example, I have a mesa boogie dual rect. roadster sitting on a randall 4x12 XL cab, a head not nearly as small as lets say the new mesa JP2C, but can't help but think, why not make it fill out the dimensions of the standard cab to make for a better visual representation. I'm old school, I like seeing amps and cabs on stage and I think there is a genuine market for like minded guitarists such as myself. Now having been a guitarist who either uses a THD Hot Plate with my EVH 5150 III, or the Roadster at 50 watts in comparison to 100 watts, I understand that 50 watts is more than enough for almost ever application you can think of because at least with the Roadster in 50 watt mode, even at lower, not even playing with a live drummer volume, still sounds great, and obviously the EVH 5150 sounds great with the HOT PLATE lowering the amps volume to that of a 50 watt or lower. Sorry, way too long of a comment, either way, keep up the good work. I have questions about your guitars, but am super excited to try one some day soon, even if the A2 looks damn near exactly like an Ibanez RG, and would love to talk to you about your E and V shapes. They are great, I just think I could make them better without turning them into $2,000 guitars.

    The only thing I like about these guitars is an inlay at 12 fret and the headstock. If you ask me why I will answer - cuz from all the models range I couldn't find a guitar which would suit me perfectly. Every guitar has one thing that I don't like. For example when I found one it has evertune bridge..meh I hate it more than Floyds. Put on it a regular fixed and I'm sold.
