That‘s a beautiful-sounding pickup combination. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Luv it, great playing and tones 👍👍
Great tone for sure. As usual on the examples you use for demonstrating the tones, phrasing, swinging/grooving and perfect note choices, man, I especially dig the 2:30-4:20 segment.
Amazing how by using the middle P/U in combination with the neck or bridge humbuckers you get such a Strat like tone. Awesome!
That mini humbucker in the middle sounds great ! Amazing guitar Ben, congratulations !!! 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
That guitar sounds gorgeous and your playing is top notch. Thanks for sharing!
Love the melodies in your solos
Wow that sounds absolutely amazing!!
Best ‘LP’ tone I’ve ever heard came from an Ibanez Artist. It came with coil taps, had dazzlingly versatile sound along with that luscious LP tone, was incredibly playable, was beautiful…. but I could not take the neck dive. Sold it.
I bet it was an excellent guitar!!
I've sold my Epiphone Les Paul and bought an Ibanez Artist 420 VLS. I'm really happy i did so, the AR 420 plays great and is very versatile with its Tri-Sound switches. Looks great with abalone binding and fretboard inlays.
You couldn’t counter weight an otherwise perfect guitar?
Hahah, bought an Artist as an instead of Les Paul. Still wanted a Les Paul so years after bought a 2016 Les Paul Traditional, great guitar. Still have the AR325.
I had one and will have one again. There is a particular strap from D’addario that has a fabric that stops neck dive.
It sounds beautiful ben that light drive tone sounds really good.
Super enjoyable video! Very nice tones and, the stuff you play is so melodic as well!
thanks Mats! So glad you liked it
Beautiful playing!
Ben, love the tones you have a lot of different tone options that makes it a really versatile guitar I'am loving it, and your playing is always on point. great video!!!
Thank you so much!!
Great axe! Nice range with the humbuckers alone and having the ability to switch to single coils really makes it worth its weight in gold.
Musicians,
Pay attention! This fellow sounds fantastic. The guitar does help but that sound is mostly hard work and dedication focused practice with goals to achieve. If musicianship is what you are after get a metronome and a kitchen timer ⏲. Schedule your work and be consistent for better results. Ben has lessons available and after listening to him play I would certainly recommend taking lessons it could only improve your skill set as to musicianship. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Jack! I really appreciate it
Yes he can definitely play. But so can literally thousands of others. And just because someone can play really well does not mean they can teach very well.
But I'm not saying he can or cannot.....I'm just saying, be aware.
Same
Beautiful sound & fantastic guitar player.
Geez... Great tones, even bigger props for the playing.
It sounds fantastic!
Amazing playing and great guitar.
Sweet Chops. 👍🏻🎸 Great tone.
Awesome! I live near their shop in Toronto, and have seen quite a few of these. Beautiful guitars. I hope to get one this year.
Some of the best tones I have ever heard on any guitar. Does the coil tap control all three pickups equally or can you use, for example, the single coil mode on the mid pickup and the humbucker mode on the bridge pickup?
Beautifull sounds
Really nice tones!
Impressive range, from tele to Les Paul. It's like a Swiss army knife guitar!!!
Beautiful tone and instrument. In the best hands in the World. Congrats
Thanks Mauricio!!
Great sounding guitar and superb playing and tone as ussual
Thank you so much!
Sweet sounding
Amazing guitar (and playing, of course). What are you playing it through?
great guitar with such a nice range of tones!!
If you like customising guitar try Kiesel - I got a Vader recently with Allan Holdsworth bridge pup and Frank Gambale neck! The sound look and playability is amazing for a great price too - Im not advertising just informing you cos I love mine!
Very nice !
Ben, @4:07... ah what a release, a flurry if you will. I had to wind that one back for another listen...👏
nice playing ,,
Guitar is fantastic, your music is like a Gambale/Holsworthy hybrid the kind I grew up listening to. I will be listening to your music from now on, I love it.
Wow that sounds great 👍
It really is amazing that every tone is beautiful and usable!
I agree! So many options between the clean sounds, overdriven sounds, pickup switching settings, etc...it's great!
What a beautiful sounding guitar...
It sounds great. Visually, it reminds me of Malcolm Young’s Gretsch. It’s like a Les Paul but with access to the last frets.
I really like the clarity of the pickups. Are you playing thru an amp, or software?
Went from feeling indifferent to absolutely loving this guitar by the end of the video. Such beautiful tones!!
Thanks for watching!!
Nice guitar. What amp/modeller/profile do you use? Not that it really matters. The way you phrase etc is amazing. That first run.... Awesomeness 😎
awesome ben!
Thanks Urs!!
That’s some of the best tone I’ve heard from splitting HB’s
Nice playing dude...
When people say that they can hear the differences in split coils & taps, we’ll I’ve always thought that those people were full of it. These are some very sweet coil split tones. I’m pretty certain that nobody could call them out, especially in a mix.
Good job on the demo!
I can tell
@@rickeymitchell8303 I'm pretty certain you can
Impressive guitar 🎸 👌 👏 and a great player 👏
Nice skills💜💜
I have 3 mini humbuckers mounted in a Stratocaster. Capable of many sounds, crisp and articulate. The guitar is capable, but my playing is nothing like the skills of Ben Eunson. Bravo Sir!
I have Seymour Duncan 59’ in my FIREFLY FFLP
A new switch. A new potentiameter New Bridge. Locking tuners
Thank you so much!
@@stevescontriano860 so?
thats fresh sounding, what kind of sequencing is that ?
What's up Ben, gotta go with the bridge or bridge and middle pickups. The others sound the same to me. What's the price on this guitar? I've never heard of this company up until now or your site. Peace.
I love your style
Thanks so much!
The tone is exactly like the guitar tone in the 80s TV show Magnum P.I. I love it . Yep , nails that exact tone .
At first look thought it may be a music man? The clean pickup demos highlight its diversity (what doesn’t it cover :) . Drive tones had me thinking of a fresh take on the 70s fusion/ les paul tones al di meola had on electric rendezvous
I’d say, go mostly with the neck/middle combination! But when you wanna get dirty, that bridge pickup rocks.
I agree!!
Awesome sound….
My fav was that middle pup. I could live happily with that one alone.
Excellent tone cons on your choice!
Thanks!!
Great tones! I'm starting to REALLY warm up to the sound of Mini humbuckers. I like their clarity, but slight warmth and fatness.
Great! It took me a little while to warm up to Mini-Humbuckers as well. I used to have them in a Tele and I didn't like it so much, but as time has gone on I have come to love them. Great pickups!
those pu sound great. However, you should check an old ibanez am205. i put the prs pauls guitar splittable humbuckers and the guitar is a killer. can be almost strat like and also warm jazz vibe
I almost bought a Les Paul too, But after this UA-cam presentation I'm going to save more money in cutting to the chase to just buying this Guitar Player!
Middle and Bridge single coil was my fav tone.
The intro tone reminds me a lot of Greg Howe's, Introspection tone.
What?! I live in Toronto! Never heard of them. 😱
A quite quirky-looking thing. But I think it fits you very well and I bet it is a great guitar to play.
I've always wondered how would Ben sound with a Lespaul goldtop with a great set of Lindy Frailin P90s to me that would be a treat cause no humbucker has the tonal dimensions and clarity that a P90 produces.
Greetings! Fellow UA-camr here! Love the tone on that Frank Bros! Very clean and no flubby tones at all. Is there a link to the backing track you are using? New sub! Thx!
Thanks so much for watching! The backing track is a song I'm working on ... hope I'll release it and have it out soon. thanks again!
Dam. I want one!
Sounds very much like my DBZ BARCHETTA, which I call my
"StrataPaul" the only difference is mine does not have a mini humbucker, but it does have coil tap. It can sound like the best Tele or strat or Less Paul, in any given venue.! Still this is a very nice guitar...wondering how much it cost as compared to my Barchetta...would be interested in knowing.??
Are recording through an amp? What amp? and what microphone?
This guitar is phenomenal! They should make a signature version for you
Thanks so much!
It does sound incredible with an incredible assortment of tones! Have to wonder if some of that is the player :)
What compressor and eq are you using?
Anything you play is gonna be killer
Reminded Me Of George Benson Tone!
Frank Brothers are 🔥🔥
what model is this guitar?
Playing on a loud stage very little nuance comes thru in a band situation. Single lead lines get lost sometimes. Very frustrating. I find rhythmic triads and double note melodies work best . Loud stages suck really. Random I know. Love this guitar tho!! Great playing!
It sounds really great original and unique, and it's very refreshing that's it's not a "traditional" brand
very cool and unique guitar! I find it odd though that the body appears to have a deeper cutaway on the top side of the neck, rather than being symmetrical or with a deeper cutaway on the bottom side of the neck. is this right or are my eyes fooling me?
@@ILoveTeles any idea as to the rational of this "reverse" asymmetrical design or is it purely an aesthetic choice?
Think Strat flipped upside down as per Hendrix or Eric Gales.
@@BradPham sure, but that was out of necessity rather than an aesthetic choice.
@@RedroomStudios Some boffins would say that that extra timber near the thinner strings helps them resonate more. For Hendrix it was out of circumstance, yes. But Eric Gales’ signature guitar keeps that upside down look, albeit with some extra carving into the lower cut just to give a bit easier access to the top frets on the unwound strings.
Thanks for the review. It’s a premium guitar, by the sounds of it.
@Brett You probably don’t have any normal double cutaways then?! 😃
Could you give us a link to the company that makes your guitar?
Link is in the description of the video 😀
Fantastic tone! And youre an absolute monster if a player too man. Out of interest, what were the stock pickups like?
“If” a player, that’s for sure (whatever that means) 🥰
@@Quinceps my bad, 'of' a player.. Typo lol
Your shirt looks like it belongs to a guy doing a windows 3.1 demonstration on VHS in 1992 :)
I'm so glad you said that. In my house as a child around that time we had a 386 with Windows 3.1. I loved it. We later had a 486 with Windows 95 which was cool with with it's Brian Eno startup sound, and of course Weezer.mpg, but 3.1 will always have a special place in my heart.
yes it is very nice but what does that guitar cost? $2,000?
I can't seem to find you on Patreon
Thanks Matthias, I left patreon a couple of months ago. In case you're looking for the transcription of the solo, it can be found here: www.beneunson.com/store/seymourduncan-frankbros-solo
@@beneunson Great, thank you
You're my favorite player right now
Thanks Matthias! I really appreciate it!
Go for a Les Paul, man. 24,5 has it's magic
Sounds better than a Les Paul
The guitar sounds great as it should... them puppies cost $5000 ! Other than that Ben is a great player and seems like a cool dude !
It isnt worth 5k in my opinion. I could have 2 awesome sounding guitars for that price.
I played Les Pauls for years...I bought a Ibanez AZ 2204 instead
eccezionale
Sounds like a tele!
Should have gotten a les Paul but if you’re happy then I guess it’s good.
#lespaul but just to ratio it. Savage eunson
Sounds like Steely Dan could have used it on a few pieces.
I'ld like if you not use FX on the guitar at least for part of the video.
Hi Ben, I want to teach a few students. Let me know if you are interested. I accept gear as payment and have a mystical approach, so you may not notice the progress in this, lifetime. I prefer schecter guitars lately and I need a marshall silver jubilee.
The phrasing of this player is astonishing.
It reminds me of Frank Gamble, only BETTER!
I can just tell u must practice quite a bit huh it shows bud! Noiiccee
Very Buzzy Feiten ;-)
Hmmm, "hybrid between a Strat and a Les Paul" ... sounds a lot like a PRS Studio to me! But that FBGC is a wonderfully versatile instrument, no doubt.
PRS has a distinct tone that I actually never liked.
