It really is a great sounding guitar! Allen Hinds has an incredible set of hands though. He seems to be able to make all guitars sing. What a wonderful player!
Allen Hinds, Jeff Beck and Steve Lukather. My favorites. When it comes to tone, though, Allen is in a different league. And that Xotic Esquire is super cool. A clone of his original '52, I believe.
Soooo tempted to have a single pickup Telecaster … but I (especially) love the sound of both bridge and neck together and I don’t know what Id do without the neck P/up on its own.
Allen’s super cool. This particular guitar sounds beautiful. And the ergonomic and mechanical limitations of the tele design in 2024 completely baffles. Oh well.
His dynamics and legato are just incredible. I don't understand how it sounds like he's playing with a volume knob leading into these chord swells. ua-cam.com/video/Ya_0A1kRq3s/v-deo.html

I sometimes think an Esquire is in my future. When I watch & listen to Allen play that thought come to the fore. Thank you, Mr. Hinds.
I just love it when he plays ANYTHING. Such a sound and feel.
Great player and probably a great guy. Do wonder what the 3 position switch is about.
I could just sit and listen to you noodle for hours.

Allen could make a Squier Bullet desirable. Xotic stuff is awesome, but the days of spending more than $750 on a guitar are over.
I agree 100%
Great player. I bought a set of his signature pickups for my semi hollow parts caster. Great! But most of all excelent musician

Now that’s some beautiful guitaring 👏👏👏
Allen is in my top 3 for players! What a touch and sense of melody he has. I assume the toggle switch is a "dummy"?
Great Playing and tone .....A cool guitar !!!!!!!
Very cool! Love it! ❤❤
As always wonderful playing by Mr. Hinds. I wonder what amp he's playing through in this vid? Pedals?
Anyone know the song at the end?
Congrats Allen!
Sweet!! 🙏🏼❤️😊
LOVE Allen!!!!!!

Who’s Allen Hines?
Might be time to learn how to use Google.
It was only this morning
I woke up thinking “who’s Damon Katos?”
