  • Hey guys, I'm back with yet another custom order from AliExpress. This time it's a tribute to one of my all time favorites, Steve "Steamin'" Clark from Def Leppard. He used a similar 3 pickup LP during the Hysteria days. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe.

    Firefly, FFLGS 3-pickup Alnico V, polished stainless steel ball-end frets, bone nut, all mahogany, actual Gibson style TOM bridge, super beefy! $189.99 ($216 OTD)!!!!
    No hassle, had it in 3 days (ordered Sunday, arrived Wed.), near perfect and easy to return if I wanted to, but I don't.

    I've been wanting a black LP with a white pickguard. Wanted one ever since I saw Neal Schon play one in the 80s. But his has a Floyd Rose and a sustainer. Which I would love.
    I guess getting it past Customs wasn't a problem.
    YT has been screwing up on me as well. If I hovered my cursor over one of the videos shown on the page, it would auto start playing the video as if I clicked on it. I'm not talking about when the video plays and you can select to mute sound or subtitles. It would open the page and play the video.

It's been a while cause i'm getting old I just turned fifty nine. I had a friend that used to tell me all the time the more things change. The more they suck. And I think in some cases, it's true. Is great jam

    Steve Clark didn't need a Wammy bar he switched to Firebird during that tour with a Sammy bar in that first song that sounded like Phil Colen playing that solo which is fine he to was a great guitar player but in my humble opinion Steve Clark was the heart and soul of Def Leppard.

  • @Kyush4
    @Kyush4 3 місяці тому +1

    This is why I think Chibsons are here to stay: Modern/Norlin specs, I don't know how far you wesnt with the Clark specs but his original one was a Norlin era LP, and some Norlins have a neck that's as thin as an Ibanez Wizard neck, then there's the maple necks and maple fretboards some Les Paul Customs had, or the all mahogany body pre Norlin LPs had, which are good for weight (specially if you are going to paint the guitar on a solid color).
    Gibson doesn't offer any of that and there's a lot of us who are tired of the traditional Les Paul specs, a Les Paul can be so much more (surprised you didn't go for the ESP Eclipse neck heel and a tummy cut but I guess that wasn't Steve's), there's the compound radius... etc.

    Back in the day it was common knowledge that mark ups were about 40-50% on guitars and amps. That has not changed. Inflation of the name brand guitars we buy is not going into “material cost increases” really, nor to the workers building them. It is going into continuous marketing and into the pockets of executives. These “cheap guitars” IMO are way better than the “cheap guitars” we used to have access to decades ago.

    Steve would have been so great to watch grow older and to see his influence and maturity bake into his music and licks. It's a shame when you are an artist and your own worst judge - and you listen to your own criticism and let it ruin you. Ask me how I know.
    RIP Steve Clark and fellow Taurus. 1/8/91
