Thanks again, Jon, and hello from our new channel! 🙏 #glguitars
Thank for this video and the many others you have posted. Love your playing and tone ! Great guitar !
My pleasure Charlie ✌🤓
Once again your playing has not let me down, smooth, melodic and you make it seem so easy. Great
Rowland Buckland thank you dear brother ✌️❤️
Hi Jon, I have just bought this guitar exactly the same finish and wow! Couldn’t be any happier. Stumbled across your channel and instantly subscribed. Your playing is amazing, so cool!
Welcome to the channel steve!!! ✌️❤️
Beautiful guitar and Beautiful playing! Great backing track too!
Thank you Andy ✌️❤️
City Music is fortunate to have you demo-ing the G&L's. G&L should post this demon on the company site.
🤓✌
Oh man that was really fun to watch. You play with heart and soul and oh so gracefully.
Thanks Sean!!✌❤
Jonathan Koh you are very welcome!
Absolutely love watching your videos Johnny! Between yourself and Chris buck... I think you are both my favourite guitarists with you tone and style. Nice G&L BTW.... Great playing as always.
Thank you John ✌😆
I have to agree but must add RJ Ronquillo to the mix
@@keithwind4945 I've only just started to watch some of RJs vids... Yep...
really enjoyed your video. very informative and really nice playing, sounded great. looking forward to watching more, thanks.
Thank you Bradley ✌️❤️
been thinking about buying a us made g&l were you using a compression pedal? it sounded great.
I'll say it again, Jonathan. I think you do a better demo than those guys at G&L. Haha! G&L should hire you for what you do. Sounds fabulous with your playing. Cheers! Oh, and please take care, with the Corona virus going on.
Hahaha thank you brother ✌️❤️
I agree. I’m waiting for him to review a G&L Espada before I pull the trigger on a custom order. He really shows what a guitar can do.
Great video. Love your channel
Thank you ✌️❤️
there are too many great guitar players on UA-cam, so I just watch Jonathan, and it makes it easy lol!!
🐰✌️
ps, to let out a little secret, I don't care about what (guitar) he's playing, cuz it always sounds good.
Hahaha thanks man✌️❤️
Jack the Rabbit never a truer word my friend!
@@Steven_SK hey dude! Happy Friday!
@jack the rabbit I fully agree, I come to Jonathan to listen to his music and play 😁
Awsome playing Jonathan...!!!!
Thank you Nick ✌️❤️
Just got my G&L Legacy and yes these guitars are right up there with Fender or any Fender I've ever played but I'm an amateur. At first, I thought the neck was too big but no problem, it's as easy as any guitar, just different and sounds great.
cool!!✌❤
Jonathan you are an amazing player. That feel though :D
Thank you so much ✌️❤️
Great demo Jonathan! That is a great sounding guitar! I need to do some swells with the volume knob like you sometimes do. Sounds beautiful! Have fun man!
Jason Guion thanks Jason ✌️❤️
Jason Guion thank you Jason ✌️❤️
i order legacy tomorrow, can't wait to put this awesome guitar in my hands) As fo me, headstock shape looks nice;3
cool!✌🤓
Thanks for the videos of G&L guitars. They are the best that I've seen on youtube. Currently, I plan to buy one of those guitars in the tribute series, but I don't decide between the tribute legacy hss or the tribute Asat deluxe carved top, if you could get this last guitar and make a video it would be fabulous.
José Carbajal we’ll see✌️❤️
Thank you for the video Jonathan. I have the exact same model and color which I absolutely love. It's great for rock and blues. Happy to know that you actually prefer this than a Fender strat. I guess I should stop wanting another guitar
My pleasure!
Sweet review jonathan
Thank you Ruben!✌🤓
Great playing! A pleasure.
Many thanks!✌♥
Bonsoir Jonathan
Merveilleuse guitare tres belle merci pour toute t'es video
J'adore ton jeux ton touché et surtout ton filing
Merci beaucoup je passe d'excellent moment a regardé t'es video je comprends pas beaucoup l'anglais tu est génial
Attends avec impatience la prochaine video
Amicalement mon ami
Merci monsieur .. ça va, vous pouvez toujours me parler en français.✌🤓
Sounds beautiful. I got one and the quality was very poor(USA), but it sounds beautiful like this. My playing is nothing like yours. Love your videos!!!
Thank you ✌️❤️
Nice Strat. I’d love you to compare to a USA Strat one day. I just had some boutique pickups made for me hand made with a quality harness, I’m installing them Sunday. I’ve never been happy with my USA Strat, it sounds nice on its own, but does not cut through in the mix well. This G&L has sound of its own, it’s got more punch that a standard Fender I would say. Keep up the great videos Jonathan, it’s always a great pleasure watching them.
Ooooo boutique pickups!! What are they??
@@JonIsJustTooLoud They are Chris Buck's signature pickups, hand made by a company in Wales called Radioshop Pickups. I have also had the pole pieces made to a 9.5" radius. The Bridge pick up has a metal base plate like on a Tele. Also the harness has the best of everything including out of choice linear pots. Chris Buck is from Wales and has been regarded the current Best Blues Guitar Player by Music Radar. I did quite a bit of research before I placed the order. I'm quietly confident I will love them. They do have other configurations; like having a David Gilmore sound. I think there are few companies like this scattered throughout the world. For what you get I think they are superb value. I'm going to install them tomorrow, I'm very excited
Denis Ahmet sounds interesting!! Chris Buck is one of the most tasteful young player around. Let me know how it turns out✌️❤️
I never really considered G&L before, but after seeing you demo them, they suddenly seem like much better guitars than I thought. Pretty much everyone I've else I've seen on UA-cam seem to get a bad tone out of them. I saw someone playing 2 G&Ls in concert last summer and I was surprised it sounded good. Just learned the other day Paul Leary used one to get some of my favorite tones and at the same time you're coming out with all these great demos, so now I'm seriously considering buying one. I think I want the MFD jumbo pickups.
That’s a great choice!! The jumbos are one of the tastiest pickups I’ve ever played... ✌️❤️
that swell on the first part was astonishing
Thank you ✌️❤️
danke für alles !!
✌️🤓
Hi Jonathan, I really enjoyed your gear reviews. I have a G&L Legacy Rustic (G&L version of the relic). If you have time and are keen to test and review it I am happy to loan it to you. let me know. Cheers
Hey there Jonathon, nice G&L :-)
I have noticed something that has happened to my personal wonderful world of guitar playing. After having tried so many types and styles of different guitars through out the years I have come to the conclusion some years ago that the most reliable, comfortable, well made, best sounding guitar that ( for me) ticks all the boxes is a Stratocaster...
Will be selling all the others and will just keep my 4-Stratocasters.
Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the L.P.'s anaford other types for many years, but there's just something mystical about putting on a Stratocaster and playing for hours, they are so darn versatile, and tones are to die for lol.
Nice playing, and looks like that G&L looks fun to play...
Yes... and that’s why my love affair with the Stratocaster remains till this day ✌️❤️
@leftymadrid I'm a Strat man , but recently loved my G&L ASAT Bluesboy, thanks to Jonathan demo. And I was lucky to find a very good used SG Standard with 490 pick ups. These all 3 are my favorite. But I won't sell my Tokai LPs and ESs.
I think you could release an album of demos!! I will have a G&L one day. I think Tele though! That Bluesboy ... love at first sight!!
hahahah I should right?✌🤓
I’d buy it!
@Tempissed I bought a G&L ASAT Bluesboy (Fullerton Deluxe) after seeing Jonathan's demo of it : it's a dream guitar 👍
Gilles Genete I bet!
Silky smooth!
Thank you Richard ✌️❤️
Nice sounds 😊
Thank you 😋
Great playing Jonathon. Ive had the Tribute Legacy a while now. It's not a bad guitar, but in retrospect I should have got a Commanche or S500 model. I find the bridge pickup really wimpy. I only ever play it in the middle/neck or neck position.
Oh?? I kinda like the bridge pickup of this one.. sounds really nice with some gain✌️❤️
Beautiful and soulful playing. I have a first year (2005) Eric Johnson Strat and also a 1999 G&L USA Legacy with a rosewood fretboard and I feel the G&L is every bit as good. I have long wanted an ash body Maple fretboard and am thinking of purchasing a G&L exactly specced like the guitar you are reviewing and selling my EJ. Have you played the EJ and if so, how does the guitar in your demo compare? Thank you for such a high quality video. Makes me ashamed of mine.
No Larry.. I have not played in an EJ strat yet. And don’t feel bad.. take a look at some of my earlier videos.. lol
Beautiful playing as always +1 subscriber.
I'd be very interested to see a video of your top 3 personal guitars. It looks like you have quite a few to choose from hahaha.
Also are these G and L legacy guitars as good as people say? Where do they sit in terms of quality against the fender guitars?
Welcome to the channel Richard!! The G&L Fullerton deluxe models are sometimes compared to some high end Fenders...✌️❤️
Thank you
Very nice !!!
Thank you very much!✌️❤️
You are such a tasteful player.
Thank you ✌️❤️
Hi Jonathan, love the playing! Do you know the difference between the model you are playing and the older 1997-1998 signature fullerton models? Thanks!
I’m Thank you Chris.. not really sure about the changes.. maybe certain materials are not the same..✌️❤️
Johnathan, I always enjoy your videos. I could listen to you all day. Your playing doesn't sound mechanical or practiced it clearly comes from within. You leave a part of yourself on the table when you're finished. The G&L sounds great in your hands. I noticed no hum. Are the pickups "quiet?" Second question. What kind of Mando us on your wall. Do you play it once in a while? I have a Santa Rosa I'm trying to learn. Back to the G&L. I like Fender and own a modern player but would love to win a G&L. Leo took everything he learned with Fender and put it into the G&L and made them better. Just my opinion.
Thank you.. Leo Fender did not learn anything from Fender.. He was Fender before he sold it to CBS. The Fender strats and Tele have remained largely unchanged ever since he left. But G&L with Leo made so much improvements to the Strat n Tele universe.✌️❤️
And as for the pickups, yes there is still hum just not so pronounced
Bro… it’s literally his name… he created the brand… he didn’t “learn from Fender”…… the dude literally is Clarence Leonidas(Leo) Fender…. Wow lol.
Amazing playing !! How do you think the neck comfort to the Fender American pro ?
Not too sure..i forgot ✌♥
I found the pickups on my Fullterton Legacy a bit on the trebly side; definitely brighter than other singles I used (american original strat, or duncan alnico pro 2s (those rock)). Have you found the same ? Lovely guitars though, especially the neck shapes feel very good.
@ozzie houser nah.. using a tone control is not the same. it changes the character of the pickup.
Yes they can be...compared to the Alnico 2s and even the G&L MFDs...just cut the treble on the tail end (Amps etc)✌🤓
Clean 🎸🎶😍🥰❤️👌
✌♥
Hellow Jonathan, well demo, as always 🙏. But tell me friend, Legacy or S-500? Alnico V or MDF pickups? Thank you again 👋🏽
Cerda Mardones Abogado for me...S500 with MFD✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoudJust what I tought 😄 Hug from Chile!!
Hey Jonathan I noticed that you are using a wireless system. Sounds really good. Can you tell me a little bit about it because I’m thinking of getting one. Thanks. Keep these great videos coming. Fred
Hi fred..here you go 🤓
ua-cam.com/video/B_LGXZcvYyo/v-deo.html
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thanks Jonathan! I really appreciate your generosity. I'm going to check this out.
So Jonathan, after playing so many Fenders during your career and now G&Ls lately, If you were going to buy your first Strat type, would it be one of these or a Strat? Do you prefer the PTB system over the usual Strat system? This has a 9.5 radius, would you prefer that, or a 10" radius or a 12" radius! Thanks as usual!
Like I stated in the video, if I saw this as my first strat, I would be happy to get this. As for fret radius, I’m not really choosy.. The PTB is much better than the usual tone controls, that’s for sure✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Then this is going to be my first Strat! Thank you for your experienced guidance! Nothing but the best!
@@KP11520 Have fun!!
How's the trem ? Does it go out of tune often or is it pretty solid? Great playing BTW. Take care
Yes.. the dual fulcrum is one of the best out there. Steady as a rock✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Great thanks man. 🤘🏼
What diff between USA deluxe s500 vs USA deluxe legacy plz!
Pickups ✌️❤️
Awsome plsying🤟🤟🤟😄😄😄😀😀💥💥💥⚡⚡🌠🌠🌟🌟✨✨ thanks
anawrest ✌️❤️
Rick Beato has a great YT channel and he recently did a demo of the differences between .011, .010, .009, and .008 string sets and the lower gauge strings clearly sound muddier. Check it out.
I just changed the strings on my USA Legacy from .010 to .009 and noticed an immediate difference in tone, with the added benefit that the guitar is slightly easier to play.
Hi Mike, like i told someone today..I personally didnt find any drastic difference in tones when they were switching strings. It would be much better if they had clean settings for the experiment instead. Foe me, I'm just being pragmatic..I break strings often when they are thinner than 10s.🤓✌
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Not meant as a criticism, Jonathan. :) I, like many other guitarists, un-mindfully adhered to the SRV-inspired conventional wisdom that thicker strings meant meatier, beefier (better) tone. I always knew that many of my favorite guitarists used .009s or .008s, but the conventional wisdom is strong. When i was much younger I used .008s and .009s most of the time. I've been using .010s recently, but decided to change and see what the effects are.
Thanks your the efforts you put into your videos!
Mike Austin I never took it as a Criticism Mike ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Good, because your videos are above reproach. :)
What is the neck issue i have been reding abaught ...RocknRollFlat5
Sometimes they would fret out at the high E strings.. easily fixed by a luthier ✌️❤️
Hi Jonathan, love your channel
Im from Indonesia. I have around $1400 budget. Please recommend me Amps, electric guitar, and digital effect with that budget combined.
I play alt rock, need something that has versatility.
I'm not Jonathan but for 1400 I'd go Strat made in Mexico with humbucker in bridge and a Vox AC15 plus an OCD pedal. If travelling for gigging, a Boss Katana 50 to replace the heavy Vox AC.
Hi..go to Thomann websire and shop around
www.thomann.de/intl/sg/index.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA4NTxBRDxARIsAHyp6gA8Pw4W5obOc1vk4c2Xu-s9WaQyIJbDsk_nezpex_k06zkuF_HkJTsaAvV-EALw_wcB
you can find some nice stuff from the Harley Benton brand to suit your budget.
That first track was incredible! Did you make it yourself? It's amazing.
which one? the one that I played on?
Jonathan Koh yes! the first one after the acoustic track, it gave me goosebumps!
the solo was incredible but I'm listening to the elements and it's so well crafted and mixed.
Live 4Christ that’s from Jam track central ✌️❤️
Jonathan Koh ah ok!! great track and your solo was majestic! 👍
How many guitars do you have??
My wife says...too many! 😜
I just tried a S500, I still prefer my Fender Strats, lighter, smoother, more melodic tones (to my ears )
which one did you tried Gilles? The tribute or the fullerton ones?
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I expect it was the tribute considering pricing at €600. It was heavy ( body said to be mahogany), and I'm not fond of the G&L pick ups, too loud for my taste. Other than that, perfect finish, comfy neck, beautiful fretboard. Was nice sonic blue. G&L are pretty rare in music shops in France, no Fullerton for testing, few tribute only.
Why are strats so sexy? I mean come on, they are though, so beautiful, and full of delicious curves, oh yes a truly sensual guitar, with a tone and sound to match. I have Tele and strat styles guitars, and I always think that the Tele reminds me of Marilyn Monroe, and the strat reminds me of Jessica Rabbit!
Once again thank you Jonathan for a great review and demo of a guitar that makes my mouth water.
lol!! I'll never look at my strat the same way again!! hahah
Hallo erstmal - i like the shape of the headstock, reminds me of the shape of an anime girl looking down. It's funny. I've enjoyed your playing as always. 🖖
lol! Anime???
Like Manga or Cartoon. We call it Anime :-) It is definitely a girls shape, isn't it?
Guenter Bortz hahaha I know anime.. which part of the guitar reminds you of it?✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud the shape of the Headstock looking from the front - a down looking Head, Breast and a Skirt in the Wind. Lol
It weight less then the legacy?
It depends
@JonIsJustTooLoud depends because of diff wood?
@@alexgochman6654 yes
@JonIsJustTooLoud USA with alder against tribute ash
The Asian Jeff Beck! Amazing.
Lol thank you✌️❤️
Hi, i am allways ill i can not look all videos but when it is better i look all videos i want say hello an a nice sound but all G & L are good guitars i see you next. LG Detlev
I hope you get well soon brother ✌️❤️
100% on the strings, Legacies should be played with 10s for expressive playing.
Amen to that!
just got this guitar the sound is great the neck is great the trem arm fixing is crap , a strat is much better for me
I find no problem with the bridge and arm
These guitars definitely has a mid boost thing that all but removes the 50's tone, if you were going for that. This guitar is a rocker, without boldly going further, meaning the guitar is probably better at rocking tunes than a standard issue Fender. G&L has always been about quality, so there is no question on that front. These guitars are better left to the individual player to decide if this will work in their gig, though its usable birth is wide. Thanks Jonathan, I enjoy your videos and feel more people should be watching your work.
Thank you brother for your kind encouragement🤓✌
Suck soulful playing dude ! Guitar sounds sweet as a good strat should !
Malcolm Hardwick thank you Malcolm.. ain’t it the truth??
Smaller strings does not mean they sound thinner, see this link ua-cam.com/video/42lF0ITBKHk/v-deo.html
I know about that video..To me there's not much difference in tone...But when you are using a lighter gauge and switch to a heavier gauge, you will know the difference. Try it out yourself and let me know! ✌
Hi Jonathan, many years ago when I played quite a lot with my band I switched from 10 to 9 to have less tension on the strings and have better playability. But indeed I could go back to 10 and see if like it more nowadays. If I understand you correctly you think playability is also better with 10s? Thnx Ton
I find I don’t break strings so easily.. that is important to me especially when I’ll playing live. I also find that I stay in tune much better with 10s rather than 8s or 9s
Ok, that's interesting , nice, good to know, thanks👍
such a nice guitar.....BUT why are these backplates still not flush mounted? with magnets!!!!! they never learn......americans tztz ;)
Lol I know right??
0 dislikes. As it should be lol
Lol✌️❤️
