I am an oddball, I did buy my mustang and Jaguar because of Kurt and yes, I did kurt mod both of them. I was looking for a good sounding guitar in july 2003 and came across the old nevermind album so I thought back to the Competition mustang with the hot rail pickup in the bridge and his Jaguar from seeing him live. I ended up buying a used Competition mustang from my neighbor back in october that year. I probably should have mentioned the Jaguar 1st since I bought it in august 2003 but I wasn't done modding it till january 2004. the mustang only took a few days since all I had to do was throw a black hot rail in there. I bought a super distortion DiMarzio pickup for the bridge and I think I took a neck pickup from my then half destroyed 1964 SG because my friend accidentally knocked it off my guitar stand it was hanging on. the bottom of the SG split in a weird way but beyond that, I put the neck pickup in there and took the bridge from the SG as well to replace the terrible Jaguar bridge, pretty much kurt modding until I got to the 3 switches in which I never swapped out but I really don't care. I continue to use that same jaguar all the time, I eventually sent in my SG to a luthier to see if I can have it repaired and managed to get it back sometime in between october to november 2016 it was gone for close to 8 months at the time and now have a nearly full restored 1964 SG Custom, it's however quite apparent that there was work done on this guitar because it was swapped from a 3 pickup guitar down to a 2 pickup and the whole bottom half of the guitar snapped. I kid you not, the wiring was keeping the 2 pieces together in the SG case I sent it in. I think my jaguar was a 1975 model because of all the wear and tear on the guitar, the guy I bought it from only asked like $400 for it and one of the pickups were dead anyway, I wasn't going to use the old single coil pickups anyway so it didn't matter to me. I can't go back and look as I don't have the neck that came with the guitar on it at this time, that is currently in my parent's attic and I currently have the old mustang neck on the jaguar, Idk it just felt better. should probably mention that both the jaguar and mustang were the red variants. I liked the red headstock and I liked the Jaguar body so I mixed and matched. again, I still play this guitar to this day as my main guitar. I recommend trying this type of modding. it was way cheaper at the time I made this baby, now I think alone a jag like mine goes for 10k and like 5k for the mustang, not including the pickups and bridge so probably + $500 as well. already expensive enough as it is, though it sounds amazing. and as you said "Single Coils Are For Suckers, Real Motherfuckers Play Humbuckers" Yeah, Vintage PAF and DiMarzio Compact PAF Distortion Pickup...
That Randy Roads joke was too much, i accidently jumped to another video had to find this one in my history and find my right place again. Liked and subbed.
Thank you! That joke was hard to make. Randy's my all-time favorite guitarist and (at least part of) the reason I started playing in the first place. But even the GOAT isn't safe from my silly jokes lol
From mine to yours haha. When I first got my Jackson Dinky (with the Floyd), it took me FOREVER to get the thing in tune. Fix one string, another goes out of tune. It's maddening! haha
I can see now how I chose my first guitar, a Mustang, to demonstrate how quirky, free and non-conformist I thought I was by not following in the hoofsteps the bleating strat herd. But that was when I was young and foolish and knew nothing of the world. I just this week bought a Tele. I'm now of an age where I have more past behind me than future ahead and I want the old days back. The future is complicated and alarming, whereas my blonde and black American Made 52 "Vintage" tele is, for me, a talisman of simpler times when everything was as it should be. It''s as safely traditional as it gets - I fear change!... ;-)
I also feel the headless guitar comment. I love it! Except mine was a super cheap DIY kit I built, so in no way is it even superior to the cardboard box that it came in, and that's why I love it! Super cheap, lightweight, and like me, looks like shit!
Thank you! I'm such a huge Randy fan (he's pretty much the reason I started playing guitar), it actually hurt to make that joke haha. But nothing/no one is off limits. And that's hilarious about the headless. I bet the kit was fun to put together
That was a hard joke for me to tell. Randy's my all-time favorite and the reason I started playing in the first place. But nothing/no one is exempt from getting roasted by me haha - not even the GOAT
@MusicBSharp Very Dave Chappelle/Sarah Silverman/Anthony Jeselnik of you; nothing is off limits for good comics. Feel free to go after me and bougie Custom Warmoth strats in Part 2. That's right, I make my own strats because Fender, G&L, Schecter(80s), Anderson, Pensa, Suhr, Nash, LsL, Tuttle, Danocaster, Shabazz & FSC can't build a strat as well as I can!🍷🧀🍷🧀🍷🧀
Believe me, never have employees rushed up to an a potential customer in a Guitar Center maybe after an hour and a half, and then they act like you’re an imposition on their time.
I had an employee at GC one time tell me, "touch that guitar and I'll kick your ass!" I don't think he could, but I'm a peaceable man. Never went back to GC.
Yep! Had to beg a kid working at GC to climb the ladder to bring down a nice Fender Jazz Bass I was interested in buying. Then had to beg him to go back up the ladder and bring down the really nice StingRay I wanted to compare it against. Then I demanded to see the manager so I could buy the Fender Jazz from the one guy in the store that might actually care about selling anything.
I loved this. Ok my guitars: Fender 125 SB Yamaha FG830 (13s/sanded saddle) Epiphone 335 figured redburst with upgraded wiring, pots, SD pearly gates pick ups, and new switches and custom knobs (volume goes to 11, tone is nickel and mother of pearl)
Thank you so much. I'm glad you like my sense of humor cause it definitely ain't for everybody haha. You nailed exactly what I'm going for: unfiltered comedy. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but at the same time, I'm not holding back either. Again, thank you for the kind words, the sub, and for watching!
I’ve liked strats since I was a kid. I love the middle+ bridge pickup sound you get when you run it through a Twin Reverb, best clean tone imo But I play a Schecter C1 Hellraiser cause I need 24 frets
I can relate. Strats have been my favorite since I started playing in my early teens. But I usually find myself reaching for my Jackson or Ibanez for those 2 octaves of frets
I think I'm a bit of a weird one here, at 15yrs old I saw the ES series and thought: "That, is what I NEED", and now here I am, with my Epiphone ES-339, lovingly confusing the classical teachers at school
I got the 24 frets ibanez, fortunately i took the hardtail bridge model and i could stay in tune and progress. Now i can become arrogant and miserably fail to try and impress other guitarists but hey ! At least i'm in tune !
I have a diverse guitar collection (no shredders though) but all I really play are my Mexican Tele and my Gibson SG. They call to me in a way the others don't. Nothing to do with the opinions of others, I just play differently and sound better (I think) when I play them.
Well... I play an Yamaha SG, that's extra spicy, because it's not exactly a SG, it's not exactly a Les Paul and it's not at all a Gibson - because when I bought it back in the 90s it was considerably cheaper and looked cool, and that was all I cared about.
Hey, as long as it looks cool, everything else is secondary lol. Yamaha makes surprisingly good instruments. I've had a Yamaha acoustic for almost 30 years now.
I have a 32DB which I'd say it ain't a telecaster, the only thing that makes it a telecaster is the body, switches, 2 knobs, head, pick guard. The thing that makes it different is the 2 humbuckers what a 8 mod that you can pull up and push down the knobs, it looks beautiful plus apparently it's "custom collection"
A Telecaster with 2 humbuckers? That sounds like my kind of Tele!!! I've only played regular Telecasters. I'll have to try to find a humbuckered one to try out somewhere. I bet it sounds/plays amazing
@aunt jenifer honestly I was very used to playing lower end guitars and I had a short in a used "dean" guitar I picked up for around 600. I had a show that night (one of the biggest in my life) and I was TERRIFIED about performing on a different guitar. The music shop nearby let me "borrow" a les paul studio. They knew what they were doing.... After hearing the gain come through that clean, crunchy, and low. I and...i feel like the guitar shop knew they would never see the guitar again. I worked two extra jobs until I paid them off
That joke hurt me to make. RR is my all-time favorite guitarist and the reason I started playing in the first place. But no one is safe from my stupid jokes, not even the GOAT himself lol. And I realize they didn't crash into a tree but it would've been much harder to rhyme Flying V with barn or house or whatever it was they hit haha.
Absolutely hilarious - thanks for that! So - just for fun: Tele - nah, not even a little bit country. Strat - yeh but made in Japan in 1980 to go with the Roland GR 300 guitar synth that Roland gave me for demonstrating their new toy - so, clearly not cool, but hey - it was free! Gibson Les Paul (1968 Custom) - I bought in 1974 for NZD 800. Still works, worth lotsa money apparently . . . so yeah, I'm cool and look down on all of you. Epiphone Les Paul - bought 2 recently to mod, Gotoh Hardware, Monty's PAFs etc. etc. Does spending the same amount as the guitar on fancy upgrades overcome the 'cheap' thing or make me an object of scorn and derision? This will keep me up at nite. Shredders & 7 Strings - nope. Gibson SG - nah. Steinberg - wouldn't mind one cos they fit into the overhead but . . . not really. Offset - WHY? And, just so ya know - I have a lovely Hofner AND a Rickenbacker Bass, does make me DOUBLY FAB? Cheers and thanks again! 😀
I don't know how I didn't see this comment sooner. Sorry for the late response. But thank you very much!!! Ah, the Rickenbacker Bass - with almost as many inputs as strings lol
LOL funny stuff. As for me, Guild S100 Polara: say Soundgarden is your favorite band of all time, without saying Soundgarden is your favorite band of all time...and I'm okay with that.
You're right: I gotta stop wasting time making these videos and get in the tee shirt game! Haha, kidding. I can make videos AND tee shirts at the same time!
I have a 1978 made in US Guild S300AD. It is somewhat odd shaped, but very ergonomic and feels very comfortable either played strapped on or sitting down. It is a good guitar, plays great and its playability has been appreciated by others too, who are better guitarists than me. I also have a 1981Japanese made Roland G303 which has guitar synth electronics in it, along with the regular humbuckers and i really love the way it sounds as a regular electric guitar (the synth part is a separate affair) as well the way it looks and feels. I think it would be nice to own a Gibson Les Paul but if i could afford to buy another expensive electric guitar, I would rather opt for a Yamaha SG. I don't know what all this says about me and anyone is welcome to guess.
@@musicbsharp The G303 is the guitar which i play regularly but i suppose you mean using it with the GR300 synth - the floor unit. Yes it was fun but i have not used it for years. I might take it out of its case one of these days, to see if my interest in it will be revived. The truth is that meanwhile Roland has put on the market several much more evolved guitar synths with amazing capabilities. But the GR300, although limited, has its own unique vintage character.
@@musicbsharp Ha ha! We have so many accents over here in the UK - and lots of British folk say guitar just the same as you do. Some do and some don't. Maybe the Boston accent has British roots - going way back?
actually, i went with ibanez cause they're cheap... now i have a bass AND a guitar... so i have options for what i still don't know how to play. learned my lesson with online guitar purchases, too... my bass, gsr200, needs a nut cause the strings have to be like 1/4" from the frets to not buzz like crazy. so, i can spend probably more than i payed for it to fix it, or likely fuck it up trying to do it myself. it looks pretty good though.
Awesome, thank you! I'm an Ibanez fan myself. I have a fixed-bridge RG and an Ibanez acoustic-electric (though I couldn't tell you the model off the top of my head). Love them both. Again, thanks!!!
My Les Paul jr says im too fucking dumb to have more than one pickup. the P 90 make me noncommittal to either single coil or duel coil because the p90 sits in the middle. I want to believe less is more but I’m just stupid. I have a gibson so I can still look down on everyone elce. I have the most budget friendly gibson ever because I’m to poor to own a proper gibson.
I think you're just kidding. I hope you're just kidding. Les Paul Jr's rock and P90's are very underrated pickups. Also, the simplicity of your gear helps you to be more creative. You can focus more on your playing and practice and learn how to get more music from what you have. In the long run you'll be miles ahead of someone like me who has owned a lot of different guitars and still can't play worth a crap. I'm more distracted by the next new shiny object than I am being focused on learning to play better.
@@jimmyparris9892 Jim I am definitely kidding. My Les Paul Junior, is an amazing instrument it rocks. and plays extremely well what I like most about my Les Paul Junior is that it has one pick up and I love p-90s Ithey are my favorite pickup. I was just going with the spirit of the article and having a little bit of fun I definitely can see why you would say what the hell is this guy crazy les Paul juniors are awesome guitars, and that they are.Jim I hope I did not annoy you to much with my sarcasm.
@@jimmyparris9892 Is that what they used? I never really paid attention. I tend to this Gretsch Tennessee Rose and a Telecaster when I think of George Harrison and an Epiphone Casino when I think of Lennon. I never really got into the Beatles, but Tom Petty was good. I never knew what he played, as my post was made completely in jest.
@@continentalaquatics2725 oh yeah, I'm just being a smart-ass. My favorite Rick player was Wendy Melvoin. I used to be a big Prince and The Revolution fan. Tom Petty was great too. I've never had a Rickenbacker but everyone I've ever seen that played one sounded great.
I just got an epiphone Les Paul a few months ago and I own a Gibson SG and I feel so seen 😂😂😂 and I *did* fall in love with the SG because of Tony and Angus holy shit I’m a basic bitch 🫠🫠🫠
The Epiphone Les Paul I owned years ago was one of the best guitars I've ever had. I regret selling it. SGs, on the other hand, I genuinely don't think are that great. But they're certainly not terrible either.
Y E S ! ! ! One person beat you to it on TikTok, making this comment a couple months ago. But you're the first one to mentioned it here on UA-cam. I've loved Brosciencelife since his first few videos. I was watching his channel one day and thought, "There should be a Brosciencelife, but for music." And that's how this channel was born! Of course, I try to use my own sense of humor and whatnot, but Dom's the inspiration for me creating this channel. So it makes me happy when someone like you can pick up on the influence it's had on my channel. Thank you for all the kind words. I really, truly appreciate it!
ha! I am glad that hit the right way. I was sure you would see that as a compliment. Crazy to hear he was the inspiration, not just an inspiration... but I agree there should be a Brosciencelife for everything. LOL@@musicbsharp
This guy is hilarious! Love his accent! He nailed it if you care about brand names. 😄 My Epiphone Les Paul was a good deal for starting out. (Yamaha Pacifica also is a fantastic and seriously underrated guitar!) I learned really quick after hearing some nearly $2k guitars compared to a $200-ish guitar that... yep, I made a good decision. As cliche as I'm gonna sound, LOL! ... A "name" isn't worth paying 5x or more the price for something I'm enjoying just for myself and not doing gigs with.
“Single coils are for suckers, real motherfuckers play humbuckers” that line is simply incredible

Totally reverse)
Humbuckers tells you are trying to look cool and edgy, singles tells you are cool and edgy

Epiphone Les Paul - bought 2 recently to mod, Gotoh Hardware, Monty's PAFs etc. etc. Does spending the same amount as the guitar on fancy upgrades overcome the 'cheap' thing or make me an object of scorn and derision? This will keep me up at nite.
Shredders & 7 Strings - nope.
Gibson SG - nah.
Steinberg - wouldn't mind one cos they fit into the overhead but . . . not really.
Offset - WHY?
And, just so ya know - I have a lovely Hofner AND a Rickenbacker Bass, does make me DOUBLY FAB?
Cheers and thanks again! 😀
I don't know how I didn't see this comment sooner. Sorry for the late response. But thank you very much!!! Ah, the Rickenbacker Bass - with almost as many inputs as strings lol
I play a Martin Backpacker fitted with a Lace Alumitone humbucker and a Roland GK-3 pickup. Psychoanalyze that!😂
LOL funny stuff. As for me, Guild S100 Polara: say Soundgarden is your favorite band of all time, without saying Soundgarden is your favorite band of all time...and I'm okay with that.
I love ur videos bro u made me smile and I wanted to die like really bad before I saw ur thumbnail lifesaver fr fr🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much. Comments like yours make me wanna keep making these vids - and it put a big smile on MY face :)
This, this video right here made my whole week 😂
And your comment made mine :)
I have a strat and a 7- string Harley Benton...and some random japanese guitar that kanda looks like an sg that will get modified soon.
Just bought an Epiphone Les Paul lol. But I know it's all comedy. Truth is Epiphone probably has better quality control than Gibson at this point.
I owned a Epiphone Les Paul years ago and loved it. I regret selling it. I've heard a lot of people say they're better than Gibsons now.
This is fucking hilarious man
Thank you!
Comedy gold. And so true. Nicely done, sir!
Thank you!!
Dang!!! 😅 Caught red handed! 🤣🤣🤣
epiphone Les Paul checking in
I had a lot of fun making fun of Epiphone Les Pauls in the video. But the truth is: I owned one once and loved it. I regret selling it
You are a mean mean man. Liked and subscribed. Sort of hurt you left out Gretsch.
Thanks! I'll include Gretchs when I eventually make a sequel to this video.
...and here's the loneley SG player.👋
As a gretsch player, I enjoyed watching everyone but me get dunked on.
Don't worry: there'll be a part 2 someday and you and your Gretsch will get yours haha
"real motherfuckers play humbuckers".... I would buy 10 shirts with that on it.....
You're right: I gotta stop wasting time making these videos and get in the tee shirt game! Haha, kidding. I can make videos AND tee shirts at the same time!
@@musicbsharp merch is where the real money is in music 😉
Where the explorer?? I got one and cant wait to be roasted!
You will be - in part 2. Which I plan to make. Someday. :)
I have a 1978 made in US Guild S300AD. It is somewhat odd shaped, but very ergonomic and feels very comfortable either played strapped on or sitting down. It is a good guitar, plays great and its playability has been appreciated by others too, who are better guitarists than me. I also have a 1981Japanese made Roland G303 which has guitar synth electronics in it, along with the regular humbuckers and i really love the way it sounds as a regular electric guitar (the synth part is a separate affair) as well the way it looks and feels. I think it would be nice to own a Gibson Les Paul but if i could afford to buy another expensive electric guitar, I would rather opt for a Yamaha SG. I don't know what all this says about me and anyone is welcome to guess.
I'd love to play around with that Roland G303. I bet it's a lot of fun!
@@musicbsharp The G303 is the guitar which i play regularly but i suppose you mean using it with the GR300 synth - the floor unit. Yes it was fun but i have not used it for years. I might take it out of its case one of these days, to see if my interest in it will be revived. The truth is that meanwhile Roland has put on the market several much more evolved guitar synths with amazing capabilities. But the GR300, although limited, has its own unique vintage character.
Emotional Damage!
Every time I hear a Canadian say "GItaaa" I find myself repeating it over and over😂😂...GITAAAA...love that accent..." boy"
As a Brit, it sounds exactly like how Americans say it to me...I thought he was American!
@@gazzie12000 He is. I mean: I am lol. I'm from Boston. We're known for not pronouncing our R's - and our lovely attitudes, of course!
@@musicbsharp Ha ha! We have so many accents over here in the UK - and lots of British folk say guitar just the same as you do. Some do and some don't. Maybe the Boston accent has British roots - going way back?
If he was Canadian, the video would be exactly twice as long...because he'd say "eh?" Between every Flippin word! Just kidding y'all Canuuks!
Haaaaaaa! Lordy Lordy uhh.....yeah as f***ed up as what you said is yeah you might be right.
actually, i went with ibanez cause they're cheap... now i have a bass AND a guitar... so i have options for what i still don't know how to play. learned my lesson with online guitar purchases, too... my bass, gsr200, needs a nut cause the strings have to be like 1/4" from the frets to not buzz like crazy. so, i can spend probably more than i payed for it to fix it, or likely fuck it up trying to do it myself. it looks pretty good though.
I have both a stratocaster and a les paul , so, whats that say?
You hate teles?
@@tomflynn2912 Probably, never played one, but I dont think I would like them. To me, they sound a bit thin, a bit lame.
But what if I own a Strat, Tele, Mustang, Jazzmaster and a Les Paul?
Then you'd better buy a SG to protect the Les Paul from having all the Fenders gang up on it! lol
@@musicbsharp good idea. Or another Les Paul to bankrupt myself LOL
Holy Shit! That was Gold. I'd like to hear your opinion on PRS and Explorer players.
Then you'll want to catch part 2 when I eventually get around to making it because I plan on including both. And thank you!
it’s true. i am an awkward odd ball.
i cannot stop laughing😂😂 fucking SPOT ON! btw i am a diehard Ibanez fanboi... 🤣🤣🤣 gained a major SUB here🤘😝🤘
Awesome, thank you! I'm an Ibanez fan myself. I have a fixed-bridge RG and an Ibanez acoustic-electric (though I couldn't tell you the model off the top of my head). Love them both. Again, thanks!!!
My Les Paul jr says im too fucking dumb to have more than one pickup. the P 90 make me noncommittal to either single coil or duel coil because the p90 sits in the middle. I want to believe less is more but I’m just stupid. I have a gibson so I can still look down on everyone elce. I have the most budget friendly gibson ever because I’m to poor to own a proper gibson.
I think you're just kidding. I hope you're just kidding. Les Paul Jr's rock and P90's are very underrated pickups. Also, the simplicity of your gear helps you to be more creative. You can focus more on your playing and practice and learn how to get more music from what you have. In the long run you'll be miles ahead of someone like me who has owned a lot of different guitars and still can't play worth a crap. I'm more distracted by the next new shiny object than I am being focused on learning to play better.
@@jimmyparris9892 Jim I am definitely kidding. My Les Paul Junior, is an amazing instrument it rocks. and plays extremely well what I like most about my Les Paul Junior is that it has one pick up and I love p-90s Ithey are my favorite pickup. I was just going with the spirit of the article and having a little bit of fun I definitely can see why you would say what the hell is this guy crazy les Paul juniors are awesome guitars, and that they are.Jim I hope I did not annoy you to much with my sarcasm.
@@wierdlygruesomeHaha. Not annoyed at all.
The Epiphone SG is my favorite guitar because of the built in anti-theft feature. Absolutely nobody will ever want it enough to steal it from you.
playing any fender or gibson says "im over 50 and havent heard new music in 30 years"
ok i hand it to ya, your roasts were more cutting than i would have guessed they would be
Thank you! And I agree: Fenders and Gibsons are so 20th century lol
Watched 5 minuets, shit, I can't get them back...
This guy is the bomb with no cap
i fucking love my rhoads v
That’s why I exclusively play Rickenbacker guitahs.
Well aren't you special in your Beatles/Rush cover band.
@@jimmyparris9892 Is that what they used? I never really paid attention. I tend to this Gretsch Tennessee Rose and a Telecaster when I think of George Harrison and an Epiphone Casino when I think of Lennon. I never really got into the Beatles, but Tom Petty was good. I never knew what he played, as my post was made completely in jest.
@@continentalaquatics2725 oh yeah, I'm just being a smart-ass. My favorite Rick player was Wendy Melvoin. I used to be a big Prince and The Revolution fan. Tom Petty was great too. I've never had a Rickenbacker but everyone I've ever seen that played one sounded great.
I just got an epiphone Les Paul a few months ago and I own a Gibson SG and I feel so seen 😂😂😂 and I *did* fall in love with the SG because of Tony and Angus holy shit I’m a basic bitch 🫠🫠🫠
The Epiphone Les Paul I owned years ago was one of the best guitars I've ever had. I regret selling it. SGs, on the other hand, I genuinely don't think are that great. But they're certainly not terrible either.
Bro Science for guitarists. Fantastic!
Y E S ! ! ! One person beat you to it on TikTok, making this comment a couple months ago. But you're the first one to mentioned it here on UA-cam. I've loved Brosciencelife since his first few videos. I was watching his channel one day and thought, "There should be a Brosciencelife, but for music." And that's how this channel was born!
Of course, I try to use my own sense of humor and whatnot, but Dom's the inspiration for me creating this channel. So it makes me happy when someone like you can pick up on the influence it's had on my channel. Thank you for all the kind words. I really, truly appreciate it!
ha! I am glad that hit the right way. I was sure you would see that as a compliment. Crazy to hear he was the inspiration, not just an inspiration... but I agree there should be a Brosciencelife for everything. LOL@@musicbsharp
As a strat enjoyer I laughed a lot))
As much as I love joking and talking trash about them, if I had to pick a single favorite guitar - in all seriousness - it would be the Fender Strat.
You asked for it, so here it is:
What Your Electric Guitar Says About You (Part 2) - ua-cam.com/video/44bVmRUceiE/v-deo.htmlsi=hYOWmwL2xEFvqKVa
This video should be called "15 Minutes of Savage Ellis" and I would like it nonetheless.
Haha I like that. Thanks!
This guy is hilarious! Love his accent! He nailed it if you care about brand names. 😄
My Epiphone Les Paul was a good deal for starting out. (Yamaha Pacifica also is a fantastic and seriously underrated guitar!) I learned really quick after hearing some nearly $2k guitars compared to a $200-ish guitar that... yep, I made a good decision. As cliche as I'm gonna sound, LOL! ... A "name" isn't worth paying 5x or more the price for something I'm enjoying just for myself and not doing gigs with.
Thank you! I had an Epiphone Les Paul once and I freakin' loved it. I regret selling it. If I ever get another LP, it'll likely be an Epi again.
@@musicbsharp It's a great little guitar :) Any feedback on basses? Waiting on a Ibanez MiKro short-scale bass to be delivered.
me with epiphone SG. tho imma put a bigsby on it soon so it looks cooller
Ok, so I have a Godin Session with a splittable humbucker and two hot-rail humbuckers. So what does that say about me?
It's kinda like do you like camaros or mustangs.
This guy just hates guitar player.
Wait do y'all not come up with the solo first when you write a song?
Guilty of everything!!
Hilarious! I play a Gretsch semi hollow and a les Paul Junior and I’m sitting in the front row!
I used to know someone with a Gretsch semi hollow and I loved playing that thing. Sounded amazing!
What? No blackguard Tele?
I love Mexican Strats, and hate Epiphone Les Pauls
Me owning a mustang and a JM signature jag😞
