I swear that is the exact Stevie tone. 😁👍
💯‼
Man, great video and you NAILED his tone. I'm an obsessive SRV tone freak and ... God darn...spot on
You have the best SRV tone in all of YT by far! it's insane! Keep it up!
Hearing you playing Tin Pan Alley game me goosebumps.
I'm lucky enough to own a "real" SRV Hamiltone made by Jim (James M. Hamilton) he built Stevie's. His guitars are always hand signed either on back of the headstock or trem cavity. These readily available forgeries - which is the best way l would describe them as, are simply numbered with small black typeface on the back of the headstock & have plastic inlays (Jim used real Australian abolone). One of the easiest ways to spot a imitation SRV Hamiltone is to check out the inlay on the fretboard as imitations look like Roy not Ray as the back stroke of the "a" in Ray is missing on a non genuine one which makes the "a" look like a "o" - Stevie "Roy" Vaughan! Totally insane that someone can steal another persons name by registering it as "their" trademark & build guitars to fool the uninformed. 🤬 Do your own research if you're looking for a genine Hamiltone built by Jim! 👍
He's right! I'm the one who sold him the guitar. 🎸☺️ Hope ya well Matt👍🏼👍🏼
Your Tin Pan Alley sounds EXACTLY like Stevie played it. EXACTLY!!
Took over ??? ROBBED!!!!
Definitely robbed and producing absolute SHITE with Jim's name!!!
Your playing is fantastic, beautifully balanced and phrased.
3 Elements in this video, Great Guitar, Great Pedal and Great Player...
Both of those music videos are genius. The playing with the visuals of the video is perfect 👍🏼🔥
Jim makes just necks now that are amazing..under Jim Hamilton. Because he can use his own name I guess
Sounds fabulous and great playing ..
Beautiful playing and switching between pickups.
Love your playing 🥰 watching you is a lesson for the day. 😮
Tears running down my eyes when i hear you play, just ultra Stevie...... 🎯
Wow!
Nice guitar! Nice playing, too. :)
Always killer tones and great playing.
I wouldn't call the tone of the pickups "sweet", with you're setup. They've got that harshness that SRV had, but that's probably from his, and by extension yours, attack. But boy do I love that sound.
Cheers for the comment! That’s a good insight too ❤️🤠
It's too much. You can't listen to that for long in a live setting.
@@PedalPawnhe Chris I featured you on my channel and made sure to credit pedal pawn as well as you as a person if you have a problem I have no issue taking it down but just thought I’d let you know before you find out, out of the blue. Great playing as always
That thing sounds amazing, I know what I wanna build.
really amazing playing brother.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Chris also happy Easter ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
That's cool! I have a Fender Custom shop slab double bound strat with a flame blue top that's similar. I bought it because it reminds me of this one, and it got a great deal. Hopefully, one of these pop-up soon
Heck with the guitar I just want to play my strat pick up loaded tele like that.
Great chops man !
What a beutiful tone
Sweet Strat 😎👍
Question Chris. Do you leave the texan on and use it in conjunction with your overdrive pedals and fuzz etc. really wish you would give us insight of how you use your pedals with each other. That would be a fascinating and educational vid for us tone chasers because a good rhythm tone lead tone fuzz tone and octave tone as well as vibe tone and wah are what we all are trying to achieve. Spending hours and hours of this and that takes away from actually working on what we need to be working on like playing and putting all that together would help so many of us who want to play and gig and sound awesome doing it. Hopefully that could be in the works. Thanks again for your channel I learn something new every time I watch and rewatch because there is some much to take in. Love pedal pawn and you and uncle perv. I see Philip Sayce is coming back to the UK this year. The blues scene must be doing well thanks to you guys for keeping it real and alive.
Holy shit excellent playing !!
Nice chops.
Lovin the trapezoid inlays on this. Set neck too. Sweet all around.
Never heard of them before but this was a very interesting video 🎶🎸🎶🎵🎵
It's definitely a cool guitar, you played it really well man. Kudos, and rock on!
P.S.
The Hamiltones, I always thought they were kind of like a Les Paul meets a Stratocaster. 🤘😎
I PUT A SPELL ON YOU! I love the solo in that song. That guitar is beautiful. Just needs some humbuckers...
I gotta ask what combo were you running for cold shot, you have that iconic 85” sound perfect, phenomenal playing btw
Awesome guitar. Has aspects of a Les Paul atheistically but is all Strat in tone. Bound neck and body is sleek, Body is a little less contoured. I'm sure it can do SRV and plenty more. Thanks for reminding us about these.
Love that double binding! Is the body square at the horns?
Awesome
Thanks a lot ❤️
Belle but coutes cher.
Looks like a neck through body,,,,, sounds great.
i thought his hamiltone was gifted to him from billy gibbons?
NOLESYYYYYYYY HOW YA GOIN
@@Kingbron007 ah mate yeah going good just doing a few cashies here and there. Few bus shelters.
Yes,Jim was my roommate and I have known Jim 35 years.he stole company from jim...not made like Jim's at all..I had one from Jim many years ago
What’s the story with that??
The guitars are absolute SHIT from Daryl. Shifty dealings with him on ebay and reverb too. Lucky I got my money back. WORST guitars i have ever purchased. He may have stolen the name, but he sure as SHIT is not making them like Jim did. Absolute JOKE. Sent them to me with the strings holding the nuts on. Glue had long since let go. Can't say loudly enough how shitty they are!!!
Hamiltone … nice. 👍🏻
What amp are you using along with the pedal? Cause it sounds as exactly like Stevie
I saw Stevie many, many times and I never saw him play those guitars.
Stevie only play's that guitar when he knows you're not around
He played it in his videos but didn’t play it much otherwise.
@@mab373 yes, he played it in his video because he knew you weren't there watching him live, you make him nervous !
Dsmn that is sweet
Unfortunately Jim got screwed out of his company a while back. I know he isn't fond of these guitars being made with his name.
The stuff the guy s selling is SHIT too. They must have sent this dude a real, old, Hamiltone. The stuff Daryl or whoever, is selling as Hamiltones are absolute SHIT!!!. The 2 I purchased and sent STRAIGHT back were the two worst joke guitars i have ever picked up besides toys. Unplayable. like a Samurai sword you hang on a wall for decoration. Looked pretty much right, but unplayable. Frets lifted up off the neck that would cut your fingers. JUNK. BUYER BEWARE!!!! Frets lifted up off the neck that would cut your fingers. JUNK. BUYER BEWARE!!!! Nut not attached to the guitar. Told me his guy went over them, but they had been in cases for 16 years. Sent me Gator soft shell cases with them to while advertising hardshell cases with the auctions. Worst quality guitars i EVER purchased.
Anywhere I can read about that? Interested to know what happened
How about the real story, Jim was going to lose the company to someone else because of money owed and Darryl helped him, spending his own money. Jim made guitars briefly with Darryl but walked away from it. Even since Darryl has offered several times to include him, Jim even lived in one of Darryl’s homes when they worked on them together. Please let’s not bring negativity to this young man’s passion for SRV and the guitar that brought Jim’s name to light. Respect what Chris is sharing, the guitar is real, sounds amazing, and his chops are equally on point. Go play some SRV and focus on the music, that’s what Stevie would want.
@@mab373 🤣😂😂🤣 Does not excuse the fact that Darryl is putting out complete SHITE under the Hamiltone name. Unplayable junk. Very sad. BUYER BEWARE!!!
@@I6is9fthat’s so sad I’ve wanted one for years and finally have enough are they just not worth anything anymore?
Are the pickups unpotted?
im full on gibson guy these are the sexiest strats for me ever made looks so awesome i love the firebird Lescaster vibe
I'm just curious, but does anyone know if the pickups in these are based off the ones that were in Main when it was given to Stevie? Or after he swapped them? Cause he hated the original pickups lol. It's why Main was used in the CSTW video. He didn't care about that guitar (and more importantly the pickups) getting wet, cause he was planning on swapping them out anyway
you could throw those pickups in ANY stratocaster and it would sound exactly the same as the hamiltone.
Nope.
@@davidfaustino4476Actually yes. It has been tested in a lab and wood and all that has no effect on the tone. When it comes to what makes tone on a solid body electric guitar it is entirely the pickups and string height.
@@jtu2434 Stevie basically proved it himself when he took the original pickups out of it. Once he swapped in more traditional pickups, it sounded more in line with his other Strats
@@jtu2434That's utter nonsense. Try telling that to thousands or guitar repair techs, try telling that to pickup manufacturers like Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, EMG, Bare Knuckle, Lindy Fralin, etc. Try telling that to guitar manufacturers, too.
@@johnnywomack548 its true. wood doesn't affect the way tone sounds in electric guitars, only sustain. you can keep drinking the koolaid if you want, but youre wrong lol.
Wasn’t stevies one given to him by billy gibbons? I’m sure I read it in the recent srv book
Yes… to me Billy is the one that made it famous, first. Stevie made it universally renowned. Billy has a prototype I know of, and I’m sure many many others.
Billy commissioned Jimmy in like 1982-83 to make a guitar for Stevie, who then went by Stevie Vaughan so Jimmy started. I remember watching him make this guitar in his shop in Buffalo, NY and none of us knew who this guy Stevie was. Anyway Jimmy had half the inlay done on the neck and Billy called saying stop, he now goes by Stevie Ray Vaughan so change the neck. I remember Jimmy had to start over and remake the neck, I wish back then we knew what we know now, I would have grabbed that discarded neck, can only imagine what it would be worth now. Anyway, I remember being at the shop and ZZ Top was playing in town that evening so limo pulls up with Billy in it, gets out with a case of Rolling Rock, stopped to check on the progress of the guitar and hang out for an hour or so. To my knowledge, Billy did not have a version of this guitar, it was first made for Stevie as a gift from Billy but Jimmy didn't make that guitar for Billy, he made many others though.
@@boba1107 ua-cam.com/video/6c7d8BYJy8I/v-deo.htmlsi=_EnHHQpYrgzk9gg7
This is the one I recall seeing Billy with back in the early 80’s. I guess this video is dated 1980 anyway. It’s the first Hamiltone I can recall. The Rev Willy G
@Texasbluestunes YES Jimmy made many Hamiltone guitars for Billy BUT he never made him a prototype of the one that was made for Stevie, that was his own design, that was the first time that design was made! RIPOFF copies have been made since but not by James Hamilton, he has nothing to do with the one in this video, it's not a "true" Hamiltone guitar nor are any of the otherones floating around out there.
@@boba1107 yessir. When I was referring to Billy I meant he had Hamiltone guitars, not the particular model designed for Stevie. I apologize for the confusion.
Man, that guitar really captures his tone. I wonder if I can get my Mexican strat to sound anything like this? With a Vox modeling amp? Or my ac15? Jesus it’s sweet sounding
Please share with us your signal chain front to back!
5:44 what song are you fantastically playing?
It's based on the song "Tin pan alley" from the texas flood album by SRV.
Has yours got stock pups?
This guitar right here is killing a usa fender stratocaster 😊
whats the amp and the pedals?
What song is he playing in the very beginning
😎
Did you buy it?
I have one and what you say is true: they have a fibe and fullness that is special.
🎩
😁
👕👍Great!
👖
Really great rhythm flurries...as I call em.....Durty pool struck me so hard.
Note:... I have watched Him cose up... Even Jeff Beck tour....n he's doing some type of 'figure eight w strumming hand..w a very loose wrist..still amazing
I think part of me died with those dead notes you played 😂
Billy gibbons had them made as gifts. That wasn't the guitar he played the most. There are lots of guitars that sound great
To sum them up, they are basically a Gibson style guitar with strat style pickups, electronics and body shape.
This was not SRV's main guitar.
Didn't SRV's Hamiltone guitar get ruined during the "Can't Stand the Weather" video where is gets all wet? Or is that just a rumor? Also, shouldn't they have just been able to dry it out and it should have still worked? WTF??
PS this is my favorite of all the SRV owned/played guitars. By far my favorite.
I know they definitely used it but not sure about the aftermath aha ❤️ Awesome guitar! 🤠
Yeah, I can't remember where I read that, but it originally had emg's, they were damaged from the 'rain', and replaced with some kind of early 60s style pickups.
I read that the guitar was covered in a thin layer of beeswax to protect it from the water. I know that SRV did not like the EMG pickups that came in the guitar originally because of the battery. So I’m assuming after it got rained on they took it apart and swapped the pickups out.
@@scrap_metal_magic Yeah, you are right, a search came up with this: "Hamiltone guitar was damaged by the water used in the filming of the "Couldn't Stand the Weather" music video, requiring Vaughan to replace the original pickups. The search results indicate this was a deliberate choice by Vaughan to protect his main guitar "Number One" from the water on set."
that axe is beautiful, but not as beautiful as your playing at the end- dang!
Of course it wouldn’t have anything to do with all of your Tone settings on your amplifier and your pedalbored set up 🧐 ‼️‼️ Of why it sounds so much like a Strat
The headline is clickbait. Won't be back😊
I've touched this guitar before, and it's hard for ordinary people to play because of its thick scale and croony neck, but you're good at it

🚀🚀
Why is the headstock black when the body is brown
That is because most of the Hamiltone guitars have black headstocks.
@@michaelstinson37 .it's lazy
@jeffreyrivers1983 it's just preference.
Like on a thousand other guitars? Ask Gibson
Wood??????? Which wood - wood - wood???????????????????
This was not Stevie’s main guitar this was not his number 1.
It has nothing to do with SRV unless it's an original Hamiltone which this isn't and even then... The account has been suspended.
Le corps est magnifique, mais l'esthétique de la tête s'éloigne trop de la Fender...Si elle se devait de se démarquer de la Strat, il fallait tout simplement en faire une vraie originale et non une extrapolation de de la Stratocaster... Cette tête alourdit le design selon moi, mais ce n'est que mon avis, et sûrement que d'autres l'aimeront...L' icône de chez Fender n'est pas facile à interpréter, car elle traverse le temps et elle est devenue intemporelle, parce que parfaite !
That was definitely not Stevie. Ray Vaughan's main guitar. He rarely used that guitar very rarely. He always used his Stratocaster man, the Fender. The 50s Fender with the sixty's neck or is it vice versa? The 60s Fender what to 50's neck, one or the other I forget. But the one that's all beat to s*** in the University. See the original fretboard anymore. Words worn in so much that's his main guitar. Certainly. Isn't the one you have pictured here? Yeah, that's a more fancy guitar
than his main guitar, but it's not his main guitar.
Not his main
Sounds a bit twangy. 👎
there site is fucked
WAY MORE THAN JUST THE SITE...
Do better research,that wasn't Stevie's main guitar
That’s the guitar name ‘Main’ 🚀🎸
These are bullshit knock-offs, don't bother wasting your money.
The "Real" authentic Hamiltone's are made and signed by Jim Hamilton, artisan luthier extraordinaire. Gets me sick to see how Daryl went behind Jim's back and started having these made in China. Don't buy his fakes!
REAL musicians know exactly what Stevie's main guitar was......
B- for effort though....
This video is referring to Stevies guitar called ‘Main’ 🎸
mr GayRocker, can't you see the quotation marks in the caption?
" MAIN " indicating its a name and not a statement 😭
