A critique, not trying to bash you. I appreciate your not promoting “merch”, or Patreon. The top is molded, not carved. Much less expensive. The bridge is a Nashville style Tune-o-matic. The adjustment screws face the bridge. ABR-1 screws face the bridge pickup. PAF = Patent Applied For. The Wilkinson WOCHB is *not* a PAF clone. Not by a long shot. Middle position, on a 3-way is both pickups, in series, not out of phase. Out of phase is when the polarity of the two pickups is opposite. This is done by flipping one of the pickup magnets, or wiring one, in reverse. Usually with a switch (push-pull, push-push, dpdt). It’s a 60 Hz hum, not 500Hz. Again, molded back, not carved. Wilkinson WOCHB pickups are ceramic. thus microphonic, by nature. They are quite inexpensive. Too “hot” for my taste. Especially on a hollow body. It sounds pretty good. Although I’d switch out the pickups for Alnico 2’s, or 5’s. You’d have less unwanted feedback, at higher gain levels. Edit: spellchecker
Hey my brother, don't know how I missed this video? That cherry 🍒 red guitar 🎸 is a cherry 🍒. Absolutely beautiful guitar 🎸! Enjoyed the video! Stay Safe and Take Care!
Lol. I was just saying that my only thing I ask is that people watch the video all the way through. I do not ask for any donations or any kind of monetary gift. My gift is people clicking on the video and watching it and enjoying it. Hope you are having a great weekend my friend
@@BBQROCKSTAR178 Yeah man. Awesome video idea. Watching these type of videos brings me back to my FullSail Recording Arts degree... (Fast forward 8 years and now I own a video production company... Don't ask, lol)
Hey John😃I love that shirt😊I love that hat too😀I never ask for "anything" on UA-cam eitherI don't ask for subs, never have, never will😁I love the color of that guitar🎸I like the nostalgic mint green tuning tips😉Peek A Boo😆Do you use Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings🤔You got that guitar for $500🤯I hear the difference👍🏻Shine On You Crazy Diamond💎Eric Clapton approves😁Cat Scratch Fever, Uncle Ted😄In My Time Of Dying, Thank you for the Shout Out😁Chuck Berry👍🏻Metallica🤘🏻I love your style of playing👍🏻Heart❤👍🏻Thank you for this John, I watched the whole thing😃ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
No not "carved top" - More like molded top. Hugh difference. A $2,000 to $3,000 difference. If anyone is serious about guitar tone, look further into this.
Is nice axe yes yes, me see/hear original GIBSON as played by Tom Lavin of The POWDER BLUES Band ( check them out ) many moons ago , The Geetar you are playing is nice enough... me ? i Dig the most awesome Geetar SHINGALOO SHOCK SHOCK Made in Northern China.... it is a copy of a MANN which once copied GIBSON who copied no one.... Anyhooo Thanks for sharing > 11
Thank you for joining in!!! You sound like a seasoned music fan, yes? I believe music brings people together, a creates harmony amongst us all! Cheers!
But the guitar looks shit I'm afraid, the horrible compromises to the shape that JHS Vintage have had to make to be able to sell it in the US to avoid litigation from Gibson make it look a travesty. It was not always so as JHS used to make a straight copy of the ES335 which sounds as good as the guitar featured but looks far better as it looks like a proper ES335 not the horrible offsets seen here..
I agree….Trev and John have had to bid to the whim of Gibson to stay out of court. I think JHS have done the best they could do in this aspect. I own 4 Vintage brand guitars and love them all.
@@BBQROCKSTAR178 I have one of the older ones here it is it is know as the VSA535 was discontinued in 2012 studio.ua-cam.com/users/videoIrSzSCM0WN8/edit

Aw yes Tony….I see the older models have a much larger bottom bout….much more like the Gibson.
@@BBQROCKSTAR178 I dont think they were ever sold in the US in the UK they rarely come up on the secondhand market.
