    Gear I use:
    Guitar: changes by the video. i use a lot of fender, and gibson. but feel free to ask specifics.
    Pickups: all of my guitars use different pickups depending on what suits them but i will say Bare Knuckle Pickups are my favorite and preferred brand. feel free to ask specifics
    Amps: Fractal AxeFX 2 for the guitar tone on my covers, lessons, and original music . i almost always use Orange AD30 presets but sometimes some Friedman, Soldano and others sneak in.. i dont typically use real amps anymore. certainly not in my videos just for convenience.
    Strings: 9-46 are my main string gauge for fenders. i'll use 10-52 on Gibsons typically. i tend to flip flop between Ernie Ball and D'addario.
    Picks: i tend to use .73mm Tortex but i'll use .60mm for faster strumming songs or for Bass guitar.
    DAW: Reaper for all my recording software.

    This was the only guitar I could keep in tune in the guitar store. I spent two hours playing all kinds of fenders and gibsons. $3,000 budget and I went with the tribute. It sounded better even the other standards and sounded better to me then an $8,000 sg. I was looking for a good sounding guitar and I found the tribute sounded the best. Maybe it’s the maple neck and mahogany body?! Wicked sustain and sounds good clean and with distortion, can’t ask for much more then that

      I have a Les Paul Tribute that kicks the shit out of my Standard and Slash Standard. I also have a Les Paul Classic that just has something about it too. Every SG I’ve owned has been shit. Will not stay in tune at gigs. I love the look of these tributes. Almost ready to lose my ass giving an SG another shot.

    That would make a great routine jam practice guitar or to play out to a gig where you wouldn’t have to worry about it getting dinged. I love the simplicity of the low end Gibsons because they have the same pickups and strings as their higher end siblings so one can really let loose with them. Those are truly meant to be played, not displayed.

    one of your videos from a few years back showing off a les paul special in ferrari red inspired me to find an sg special in that color cuz i loved it so much. found one on reverb that was practically a closet queen from 97 and i love it so much.

    The Tribute is my favorite SG ever. I prefer the dot inlays. My issues with SGs are tuning stability which is not easy to fix and has to do with both the headstock design and the instability of the neck joint; neck dive; and the placement of the tone controls. I like nothing more than one volume and one tone and I like them placed in the same spot the put them on a PRS. Otherwise, I dig this guitar. I've played Tributes at many shops and love the pickups, the playability, etc. Not a perfect guitar but still great.
