Every guitar sounds amazing when you play it Tim!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
True! Tim is a wizard!!!!
No joke. Such smooth, tasteful tones.
Truly Rick. Respect.
Tim could play a broomstick with a string tied to it and it would sound good.
@@The_TimPierce. waiting
Now I'm gonna listen to the Rain song like 50x
Tim nails it when he says we are living in the golden age of guitar, as there are so many brilliant products out there for both the professional and aspiring musician. Long May that continue!
I saw this video and bought this guitar.
It is absolutely fantastic. The playability
and diverse sound are awesome.
My new go to guitar.I love it!
I had no idea that it was Tim Pierce playing on Crowded House's Dont Dream Its Over, so beautiful and ethereal, it makes sense now.
Andy Powers is the next Paul Reed Smith. He's a true innovator, an artists and clearly very passionate. His work with Taylor has tweaked their sometimes sterile guitars into masterpieces.
yes, I used to DESPISE Taylor guitars but he has improved them a lot.
I have the 1st model of the Taylor 614ce that Andy designed in 2011. A maple guitar with violin style bracing to "charm the chime". Wonderful sound and a pleasure to play. Now I want that Powers Electric Guitar. Andy can make maple guitars that are warm and clear, not harsh or chimy. Real skill of a real artist.
I am damn impressed with this guitar. Everything seems very well thought out. That camshaft roller design for the tremolo is impressive.
Rain Song sounded amazing on it as well.
I really dig everything about this guitar...those pickups, the shape and the construction are so cool, but Tim's playing is everything in this video!
Rhett, Thanks man! looking forward to the next time you and I can knock around on some guitars together:)
The intonation on this guitar sounds really nice. You can hear how in-tune the individual chord tones ring out. Of course, having Tim’s touch on the fretboard doesn’t hurt either 🙂
I was thinking the same thing. It seems to be on another level with intonation.
I have found most solid body guitars having to be "happy mediumed" when it comes to being in tune in one chord and out in another, or as you ascend the neck or change keys. Throw a tremolo in and the aggravation multiplies, so i've avoided tremolos all of my guitar playing life because any I ever picked up DON"T come back to tune. Never had an issue with acoustic guitars though, which makes no sense to me since the intonations are factory set on acoustic, and the adjustable bridge on electrics SHOULD render them easy to intone it would seem. My electrics of choice are 335 style guitars and I have very few problems with them. I played a Les Paul professionally for a few years and never really liked it. Sounded great but tuning issues were constant. My fav elec is an Epiphone Sheraton. Most of the elec players I know are Tele casters. Too bright for my taste. I know you can change components and fatten them up, but I'm OK with what I've settled on at this point. Like I say 335ish styles.
so howz intonation achieved
/ adjusted...
@@partner348all the guitars with trem systems you've tried seem to be set up improperly or are cheap, because they should be pretty stable if they're good and has a nice setup.
The pickups really are impressive. The Neodymium magnets and the Faraday Shields provide a clarity that's like being in the sound channel itself. Incredible.
The nod to automotive metal for the backside access panel is fun to match the pickup covers.
My grandmother had a 1950 Ford Tudor Sedan that was painted Caribbean Turquoise No. 211 that is a match to your aqua/turquois color choice. She was a tiny woman, 4'11" and am sure her eyes would have just peeked over the steering wheel at most.
Beautiful guitar design and performance. We are in awe of your beautious work.
Just when I thought there was nothing left to innovate on the instrument, Andy seems to have found a way. Lovely tones and playing, Tim!
Absolute beast of a guitar. SO pristine, as well as packing a punch with tone. Cheers guys for the showcase.
You bet!
@@timpierceguitar Yeah!
The detailed appointments on this guitar are definitely fantastic! This is a real eye opener and beautiful sounding! The camshaft idea is brilliant too!
Yeah, tha camshaft is the killer. The biggest issue I have with bigsby and the like is that the strings bend unevenly in pitch by quite a bit. This is an elegant solution to the issue.
Stunning gear played beautifully, as always. I'd love to know where you get your backing tracks from!
Now that's being really creative..
Love this thing. Great sounds also.
Thanks Tim. 🎸🎶🎵💪💪
Great sounding guitars! And Tim Pierce does a great job demoing them. Now I want one!
Kind of surprised that Andy has started his own brand of guitars while still being the CEO/owner-partner of Taylor. Seems like a potential conflict of interest (at least in terms of his time/effort dedication to Taylor) but these look like really cool guitars.
It is under Taylor.
I disagree brother. Much Respect! Bob and Andy have surrounded themselves with wonderful staff and a team that carries the same passion throughout the entire building process. I do not know how they did it, but my Taylor is never leaving my side. I have toured El Cajon and been to artist night promotions with a young Jim Kirlin. Taylor has its rudder deeply and firmly in the water and their acoustic guitars have very few peers. Maybe Andy's venture out might bring some better electric builds in El Cajon! Their electric line is all about quality that hasnt panned out in the market. Maybe Powers has a better grip on cost price point and these will be more affordable to collectors and players alike. I wonder if Taylor is done done done with electrics????
I don’t care what anyone says…THIS is the *Golden Age Of Guitar!* The quality/price ratio for new gear is as high as it’s ever been! The innovations in guitars, amps, effects, hardware, software are unreal, and the internet is awash with tutors, tablature and chord structures for almost any song in existence!
It makes the 70’s when I started playing, look like the caveman days!
I like the symbiosis between vintage and modern design. It does the Chris Isaak tunes well. Alway a pleasure to listen to your pristine demo's mr Pierce!
This is a lot of innovation in one place without feeling forced or gimmicky! To the contrary, it all seems really natural to guitar in a way that makes me wonder why this stuff is so unheard of.
Way back in the 70s my father knew the owner of a local surfboard shop. He was given (or purchased?) a hardboard/masonite sheet they laid under the surfboards while they were glassing them. He had hung it up in the two story entrance to the house as a piece of art work. A real Jackson Pollock feel to it. Long gone/lost I wonder what happened to it.
I didn't like the aesthetics of that guitar, except for the knobs made of the leftover fiberglass, those are rad, and so I ignored the announcements about this guitar's creation. This video has totally changed my mind. Not that I will every buy a $3800 guitar, even if they weren't sold out! I love the engineering approach that Andy Powers took. There is so much vintage worship these days; it's great to see someone still trying to break new ground. Especially since most of those attempts die a fast death. It helps that his ideas genuinely seem to have created an improved product. Maybe things like the camshaft "device" bar and the neodymium pickups with faraday cage covers will make their way into wider guitar production and thus at a much more affordable price point.
Such a clear, perfectly balanced tone. Headstock looks Ovationish. Amazing playing. Time for practice here. ❤
Awesome sound and clarity in all range. A unique guitar that sounds amazing, especially through the master Tim and his awesome setup. I would like to hear Micheal Lemo play it as well as Angela Petrelli at Norms.
That's a really cool instrument. One of the things I liked the most, which Tim showed off in the middle of the video, is the very, VERY distinct sound and character of each of the three pickup selection positions. They were more their own thing, rather than different shadings of the same basic thing, than most guitars out there. We all pay lip service to the idea of "wow, those are all useable tones with their own purpose", when in fact, I think many guitar players gravitate to 1-2 options and mostly ignore the others. Well with this one, those 3 options really are very useable. I could see myself playing all of them quite a bit.
I also like the volume and tone knobs. Those layered stripes in effect give you a volume-tone indicator without needing numbers, or "Volume" written on it, or what have you. That's the problem with blank knobs like on a Tele. You have to tell by feel where you are on the control. You can totally do that, but I like a visual indicator. This has that.
Pretty much lower inductance P90s. The Faraday cage may reduce some AC hum harmonics, but also reduces the highs from the strings, as do the Steel pole screws. They may be low enough inductance to accommodate 250k pots, and they may have thinner wire which increases efficiency and S/N ratio. I'd be curious what the Gauss is at the screw heads with immensely powerful Nd magnets. Might be a lot of string pull. P90's also sound great in parallel.
What a great video, thank you for introducing Andy and his guitars as they are amazing and beautiful. I love the Fordite! And you are amazing.
That diamond pattern is on the chrome looking back plate across the dashboard of a 1986 Buick regal grand national. A very rare and expensive car if original today. Awesome look.😮
Tones always to die for. Every time. That guitar sounds amazing yet versatile.
Dear Tim, thank you very much for your great work! I love your channel!!❤
Great guitar, thanks for the test drive ( Mr Tone).
Nice L-5 CES in the background there when showing Andy talking!
The instrument sounds incredible, especially in your hands, Tim!
That guitar is breathtaking, the guy has a great mind! Beautiful and inspiring it's everything a guitar should be. Are they even available in Canada? I'm guessing not but would be nice to know.
That is one sweet piece of guitarchitecture Tim, it sounds beautiful in your hands too! Fabulous! 👍❤️
Man that guitar sounds great! Thanks for sharing Tim ROCK ON..
As a guitar player and car guy I feel a need to own one of these!! Thanks for sharing Tim!! Cheers!!
I love the sound. It looks cool too! I think the middle position sound is my favourite on any guitar and this guitar sounds amazing!
Very interesting video. I love the design of this guitar. Very well thought out and executed. Sounds amazing too. 👏
Beautiful work! Cheers Tim and Andy!!
Thank you! Cheers!
If you want the rough equivalent to this guitar for $600, buy the Danelectro 59XT which also has the hollow body with no holes in it just like this guitar and a great Wilkinson tremolo and comes in the same color. It has the same jangly sound and a 25 inch scale and plays and sounds marvelous. I should know I have had one for about three years now.
Thanx for the Danelectro idea. That is a great option! Appreciate ya!😊
Thank you .!
It’s was cool to see this guy light up while he explains his build! Cool instrument!🤙🏾😎🏝️
One of my favorite songs Tim! Art Bell used it quite often as bumper music.
I love watching your videos, Tim. You are always smiling and having a great time 👍🏻cheers
tons of great ideas going on here.....i dig this guitar !!! thanks !!!!
Very cool. He approaches the guitar from a UX perspective, as I do with my own guitars. He's making subtle breaks with tradition that have real impact. I'm impressed.
Tim, I only recently fund your channel.Very cool stuff. This guitar sounds sweet.
That is one fine guitar, Tim plays it and the sound is like seeing a master racer get into a newly developed car and shows the designer things they never thought a car could do.
Andy Powers is without a doubt one of the most curious and brilliant minds in the guitar universe we all love.
@3:44
Back in the day we hot rodders would achieve this look by chucking up a pencil, (or some other mild abrasive) eraser side down in a milling machine like a Bridgeport and applying light pressure in the Z axis to a soft metal while moving the table in precise increments in the X and then Y axes. It was borrowed from a firearm manufacturing process called jeweling for no other reason than that it looked cool.
I'm loving it and I love what you chose to play to show what it can do thank you
Hi Tim, what a sensational sounding guitar. Great review showcasing one person’s dream & how he married his loves into a beautiful, multi-tonal instrument. Cheers ✌️🎸
Lot of passion in that guitar! Sounds super vintage
Hands down one of the best guitars I've ever heard! I love the Thinline sound, and this is an extreme version of that concept.
I have never heard a guitar ring like a bell on the top three strings . A tone to die for anyday !
I love the combo single cut and offset body design. It sure sounds good (on my end of UA-cam, anyway.)
I can only imagine how it plays. It's a Masterpiece a Truly Engineered guitar. Awesome Andy
Beautiful sounding guitar and beautiful playing Tim!
I love Andy Powers' energy. The guitar exudes his passion for surf, vintage cars and guitars. It's good to see a rival to Paul Reed-Smith coming through.
Great segment guys! What a guitar!!❤
Sounds amazing and looks beautiful! I love all the engineering behind the design too.
I always sit and listen in awe as you pull off song after song spectacularly! Love hearing you play this cool guitar! Thanks!!! 🤘😎
Beautiful guitar, VERY well designed. I would love to try one out. (Specifically that blue!)
wow!! gorgeous sound, Mr. Tim :)
NICE for a change....your playing is proof that our secret to enviable guitar sound is rooted in the particular players understanding of how this thing we love so dearly called music works and the dynamic respect of the individual human hand playing the note. on the other hand ; "you"can buy a new foot pedal. . or "super slinkies"!!
Thanks for the high quality content and distracting me from getting to work on time! I feel like i just skipped a high school social studies class. your the man.
I feel blessed to have access to channels like this 🥰🥰🥰
Having watched this I just had to subscribe ! Sublime playing on a beautiful guitar. Thank you.
oh, what a beautiful sounding guitar!!!
If Les Paul, Fender, and Danelectro had a love child guitar.
Happy to subscribe, your videos are great!
Wow, The Rain Song sounds amazing on that guitar!
Amazingly well thought out guitars!!
WOW. Andy brings it all together with beautiful looks, tone, and innovation.
So many interesting and new ideas presented here. I'm in SoCal, where can I go to check out and play one of these guitars?
Very very refreshing take on pickups and guitar building in general.
Those control knobs are fantastic!
The turned PU covers are a brilliant touch!
I will be interested in actually playing one of these.... everything seems right from this video and Tim can absolutely play any guitar .
Really nice guitar and great features! Great demo!
Beautiful sound.Its the driver that makes it work..Tim ....fantastic driver.
I love and respect Tim's integrity, especially when it comes to promoting products; his or others.
There has got be a reasonable way to run the grooved roller tremolo as a multi piece over a shaft so you can selectively toggle which strings gets whammied, like the Duesenberg Multibender, but reconfigurable in a few minutes with some tools.
What kind of jazz tone can you get on it?
Tim Pierce has a brilliant suite of amps/cabs, years of experience of recording the BEST tones and he has exceptional tone production that simply comes from his physical interaction with the guitar - all of that said this is an outstanding guitar with HUGE potential. I didn't hear a single sound coming from this instrument that wasn't musical and inspiring - it has a wonderful musicality to the complex overtones it organically produces. Andy Powers is going to face a potentially huge demand for this instrument - if only a company like PRS could team up to mass produce high quality versions of these instruments (under Andy's brand name ?) so that they could be available for us regular grunts in the musical trenches for around £ 3K :-)
I like the instrument, especially the neck and compact peghead. I also like how the tuning pegs allow for a nearly straight path from the nut, that design makes a huge difference to tuning stability. Other than the vibrato bar, I like this guitar. I'm not a fan of the Bigsby style vibrato system and while I can see the merits of Andy's design, I just prefer the Fender/PRS/Floyd Rose based vibrato bar designs. Beautiful playing as always, Tim!
Tim always seems to have a permanent smile 😊
,
Wonder how he looks without a guitar 🎸
Ha
like a guitar playing dolphin.
😄
If you want to demonstrate that balance you can cut a pvc pipe to fit over the strap button and show it without taking the button off. Beautiful thoughtful work.
Sounds very powerful and clear ! Seems like compressor inside.. Love it !
Oh my lord. People need to stop calling incomplete shielding “Faraday cages”.
If an aluminum casing did anything to kill buzz on single coils, it obviously would have been done already. The pole pieces are still picking up hum.
Also, guitar builders keep assuming that what influences the sound of an acoustic instrument will influence the sound of an electric instrument. The pickups aren’t picking up anything from the passive string length.
Love the joy with which you play. 🙂
Powers is just a “cool genius”! He’s been “doing-it” for years!!!
Great guitar. I want one.
It sounds amazing! I want one!! Great design but in all due respect to Tim you can make any guitar sound great!!
Hi tim ! A couple of years ago i started cutiing diy bodies old style pine total hollowbody with no bracing. I need to finish the example guitar so someone can play it and see how it sounds
anybody know how this guitar sounds in the metal flavor of playing. I'm definitely interested in hearing a demo of that also.
cheers
Amazing music demo of a designer engineer’s vision that blends the 60’s California car and surf culture with a crazy cool electric guitar.
I gotta know, what pickups were in your version?? PF42 or FF42? Please let me know.
Thanks for a great demo and inspiring design story.
Must be the urban harvested timber. Very impressive and a great presentation. Always a pleasure to view. Thanks
Sounds and looks fantastic. I wouldn't necessarily play it in a hard rock sort of setting, but for certain styles.. wow.
I’m curious to try one. Sounds like a studio guitarist dream!
Absolutely wonderful guitar and simply flawless playing 😊
Also, what is the name of that Yellow color at 3:30? Not the Signal Yellow of the Porsche-influenced guitar, but the gorgeous color shown at 3:30 in your video. Thanks!
