ITS TRADITION NOW!
MY WEEK IS NOW FINISHED WITH THE WEEK IN GEAR
100% 🎉
Guitar pedals are like adult films: there's enough to keep us satisfied for a thousand years but people are still excited about new releases ;)
Lots of them do the same thing but we are excited by some "creators"
I stopped getting pedals almost a year ago and it's crazy how much tighter my playing is now.
That’s a fun perspective. Gonna borrow that one
Lmao 👍👍
That green color DOMINATED the 90s in America. Cars, Trucks, guitars...couldn't look any direction without seeing it 😂
The NF3 is going to be a Strat replacement for me. I currently have two Strats and am planning on parting with the SSS. The metallic finish, the NF pickups... beautiful and versatile. Plus the PRS trem knocks a regular Strat trem out of the ring! ❤
The NF3 is an interesting model to bring back as an SE, although admittedly it does look much better than the original USA model.
I would buy one if it had a Pattern Regular neck.
i’m waiting for the upcoming Polish version of this guitar. i’ll be first in line when the “Silverski” comes out.
When you get excited about a guitar strap.....are we old? 🤣
Maybe just sensible…?
@@TheGuitarGeek LOL mayyyybe
I was excited by the Gruv Gear Duostrap Neo and the optional tension strap (pretty much necessary, honestly) before I turned 40; I swear!
Yay for the lefties!!!!!! Bought a lefty Gretsch Electromatic last year.
My spastic cerebral palsy requires me to buy with careful consideration of the specs and apparent construction for neck pitch (i.e. neck angle), scale length, nut width, neck profile, and weight in that order. I typically only get colors I like with Warmoth partsocasters, which typically involves buying the body in a different year than the neck for financial reasons.
Get some dashboard non slip mesh mats, cut a small section and either use good fabric glue or sew it to the strap, it'll never slip again.
I wonder if PRS tried to arrange the narrow field pickups in the slanted single coil style. Thanks for my weekly dose of english quirkiness! This parrot is no more.....
I used to shop with my eyes, but then I went blind so that was the end of that problem LOL Now it’s all about the feel and sound
That PRS looks pretty nice.
Can't wait to get my hands on one of the NF3's!
I've been waiting for that FS9R. The FG sounds so good, and hopefully, the FS does as well.
Haha funny enough my auto lock swivel strap came in this morning! I had no idea it’s a newer product
That said, so far I like it
So did mine!
The distance of the narrow-field pickup magnets matches the fretboard radius for a more balanced tone...but they couldn't be bothered to make the pole piece pitch different between the three pickups, judging by the closeup of the orange guitar, so on neck pickup, the outer strings sit pretty much at the edges of the main pole pieces ;) (I mean I don't think it matters much, but you know, if you're doing something that seems detail-oriented, it's kinda funny to also completely ignore related details.)
"I got this one. This is the red one."
I look over at my strat to make sure Andy didn't steal mine.
Adding a swivel to that strap is a great idea. A simple tweak to a already very good product.
The PRS in metallic orange looks great... I have to try it...
“Stick a tort guard on it…” and call me Susan. 😂
I am buying it. 0:28 end of. I have wanted that guitar since I first saw it. Tim’s model is amazing.
Got the strap....Love it!
I need that strap. I came up with that design years in my head to solve the SG and other guitars with a center strap button issue. I'm glad to see It got made.
So glad Susan Tedeschi is getting some love. She could play and sing the phone book and make it sound amazing.
Celine Dion actually did this on a talk show many, many years ago.
Never heard of her 🤷🏻♂️
We need a full song for that finger bird thingy. You already have the noves for it.
I’m not sure what Andy is on this week but he needs to share.
SWIVEL STRAP!!! Yes! Seems like a little thing, but I use these fantastic straps, and my Reverend Wattplower bass (SG style) NEEDS this swivel strap!
Glad I’m not the only one excited about a nerdy strap
The cost of the fender telecaster, I WOULD DEFINITELY GET A G&L FULLERTON ASAT CLASSIC 🎸. G&L is much better built than fender and it's a telecaster on steroids ‼️
Cool stuff Andy! Appreciate the news. Looking into a white one of those PRS NF3 models. Seems pretty sweet and would probably sound cool with some Intervals style riffing! Be well bud 💯 ✌🏼
Because your video has a PRS guitar in it, you earned a sub :)
"or food for the kids" -tough choice!
Andy finally got through a week without hawking any cheap Epiphone crap.
Popular and new pups, so much for PRS Tonewood.
9:38 the issue with ddarrio straps is that if your not careful? the hard plastic adjustment thing will ding your guitar.
I’ve moved to wider leather straps with now metal or plastic in them which could damage your guitar.
I played for years with one of those skinny ddario straps and always had a saw whatever that muscle is where the strap traverses your body.
Since I switched to the wider straps? No issues
Cheers
If it helps, I pronounce Adirondack as Add-uh-ron-dack
12:20 nice. I haven’t owned a maple neck guitar since my Roland Strat synth guitar in the 1980s.
I might have to try one but will probably gravitate to the rosewood fretboard version
Love your videos! And I love me some Tedeschi. I really love seeing her Tele with all the signatures on it... I think though that the whole signature thing is a bit overdone sometimes. As you mention with the quality as compared to price. 5:18 But hey - if you love the color, get the Squier CV in the exact same colors and swap the pickups and neck with the 90s Tele you share own. Just sayin
Got the Gas for the new PRS😊
XD? I get it. Xtra Deep. Clever.
Yes that new strap! I had one of the older locking swivel straps but it deconstructed itself... And the newer locking none swivel works awful with my Steinberger guitar (ironic as the strap is designed by the man himself) but this new one should be perfect 😁
Add-ah-ron-dack 😁 If that helps at all. lol Thanks for all your videos, sir. ✌
But I’m really does help. I’m not really sure I’m gonna need that word ever again, but if I do and I have something to refer to thank you.
I think you meant 'If you show me a guitar player who says they don't shop with their eyes, I'll show you a blind guitar player.' as I spotted your deliberate mistake Andy, I claim my £5 note prize! 😉😁
I used to hold PRS in high respect for not being yet another producer of generic Strats, Teles, and Gibson types, regardless of the quality of their original models. And here we are.
I feel you and when the Silver Sky came out I was not interested. Too many amazing Strat style out there already and why pay 3x the price for one that has good classic tone... But the SE version is pretty solid and definitely would be my choice over a good MIM if I didn't already have 3 Fender Strats of one origin or another.
It's infuriating that it's just a strat with cutout for better high fret access which you could ask a luthier for less than $100 including repaints. And if i remember correctly fender's cory wong signature also does exactly that but without the ugly cutout.
PRS brought out a stratish guitar with unique pickups and a lovely finish which is not a short run for Mexican Fender money; why not complain to Fender, which does neither? Personally, my interest in PRS is waning rapidly because they seem vehemently opposed to making affordable guitars with Pattern Regular necks (In the SE line, one's only choices are: "Silver Sky or DGT?" and color.).
For an awesome boost.. don't try a jcm800 speaker out into your amplifier. It doesn't work. In fact it can destroy both amps..
Nice seatbelt you’re wearing with that guitar.
2:30 I suppose Tone Twerker was already trademarked? 😂🤣😂🤣
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
That a lot of sponsors. 😁 Edit... I just read the title ... All I saw was "What would John Mayer think?" in the pic and stupidly thought It was about John Mayer's take on the new PRS.
Edit #2.. What would John Mayer think??? You never told us.
Guitarists always shop with their eyes? The ghost of Jeff Healey wants a word!
Oh no, for the first time ever, I actually want to buy a PRS!
I am still waiting for xd24 to come to my country
With that I can retire my two makeshift pedalboard for sy1000 and gm800
Ad-ear-on-dak
An orange NF3 would be on its way to me except… I’d promised myself that my second PRS would be a hardtail. I’d promised myself that my next Straty guitar would be a G&L Comanche. And I already spent my guitar budget for this year. Maybe 2027…but I’ll probably be distracted by something else by then. 😄
The Comanche is an excellent choice! Have you considered modding it with a Free Way 5B5-01 ten-way blade switch? If you get a Tribute model with a push/pull pot or the US model's mini toggle is DPDT, then you could use that additional switch to change what Position 6 does (Scheme No B002 default and switching to Scheme No B004, both found in the "5B5-01 3PU 2Pot Part1" PDF) for four additional tonal options beyond the stock seven; I can provide a description of how to wire said switch if you like. My only PRS is an SE DGT, thanks to its neck, and I hope to afford an S2 Vela Semi-Hollow in Scarlet Sunburst (might have to buy an Antique White Satin to save money) before its current spec is discontinued.
Do you ever go into a business and have the proprietor give you a breakdown of how much they want some new stock for the shop but what a chore it is generating funds for the purchase? I haven't either... outside of UA-cam
10:40 why have you covered the logo of the SG with painters tape?
add deer on dack
Having both the NF3 and Silver Sky you need to know they’re way different. Bridge is totally different, same with neck profile. Pickups are way different. Sounds way different too.
Is it the same body?
@@TheGuitarGeek I’d have to compare. I’d say most PRS look alike.
Andy, why did you put blue tape over the Gibson logo on your SG? And I really want one of those PRS guitars, I want the blue one with a maple fingerboard. Not the fingerbird?
It’s a common Gibson mod 😬
Can you do a review on VOLA OZ guitar?
My main live guitar has a strap button on the back of the body so for a second i thought that sounded cool. But I immediately realized that what I've always done: looping through the "front" of the strap on that button is actually a lot more stable than something that swivels would be. Actually not really sure what the benefit of that product is.
Because this one locks. Looping through the front of any strap is an option (if I correctly understand what you wrote). The swivel one allows you to lock the strap on any guitar
When and where will those swivel strap be available in the UK? Andertons Thomann and Amazon UK don't seem to have them 🙄👍🤘
Let me know if you need me to pick up an orange with Maple board here in the US before I move to Wiesbaden! (September timeframe now)
Ironically, my D’addario auto-lock strap is configured in the SG arrangement. I thought it was a manufacturing mistake since I don’t have any guitars with the strap button in the SG position. So it ends up twisted for me on all my guitars. Now I know why it was done that way.
oh wow!
Won’t the swivel on the strap hit and rub against the upper horn?
Just an FYI, the magnets on the NF3 pickups do not have a radius like the fretboard.
Also FYI, you mean pole pieces.
seems like a Telecaster with a VERY expensive treble bleed
What is the purple strat on the wall behind you?
Add A Ron Dak
My pick of the week remains “ lost time in a music store “
Add ah Ron dak= add ict ing 😂🎉🎉
I built my own pedalboard out of wood. It can hold 12 pedals and a power supply underneath. Cost me $14 in supplies and about an hour of building.
Congrats!
I don't see the problem with a 'normal' strap with SG-style strap buttons. The strap goes on the butt button, as normal, and the strap goes on the body button (with lock gizmo) but with the TOP of the strap facing the guitar. Of course that means I have a dedicated strap for my SG...but then, I have straps for all of my guitars... Ok, I see the problem now...
So, susan gets a squire anniversary with a fender logo slapped on it?
Bruh its the same guitar😂
Why the logo tape on the sg headstock? Anti-gravity tape for neck dive?
"Show me a guitar player who doesn't buy with their eyes"
Jeff Healey
Admittedly an exception.
Fair point
What we call budget nowadays used to be called high-end. And what we call high-end used to be called custom shop.
I assume you mean the PRS. This is far from a budget Guitar, but it is on the budget end of PRS. for me budget Guitar is still way under 500 notes.
Nice to see female sig models! 🎉. I’ve felt a bit Dino-ish as I see how large the percentage of players are female these days, but I’m glad to see and hear it. 🎉🎉
Add-a-Ron-Dak
Thank you!
@@TheGuitarGeek happy to help!

A Hmmm? @ 1:18 ... B52s?
Most birds have 10 fingers 😂😂😂
Eh Deron DAC
The Yamaha has a thick wood 🤔 that's what she said 😆😂
All the tongue twisters you could hope for in one single episode, lol… some shades of green just don’t do it for me, lol as it should be. So ya that. I like olive drab and sea foam which is weird cause they sit on each side of the spectrum. Saying that those are only guitar related. Everything else I’m ok with the other shades of greenery…
Susan is more important in music than this new Paul Reed Smith IMHO! 😊
That Tedeschi Tele is just a stock Tele. She said that the one she plays is stock, and she's never modified it. Now, Fender is saying there's special pickups and a special neck, just to charge way more for a regular off the rack Tele. These companies are like any other business. Greedy! They know people are willing to buy this because they're into her and the band.
Edit: Why do you have the Gibson logo covered up on your SG lol? Is it a Chibson or something?
many blind and vision impared guitar players do not shop with their eyes my friend, but I do not think they will hold that against you... or at least I hope not
Not first!
Third turd reporting for dootie
But you SAW it first
@@TheGuitarGeek “insert editors name here”
Why are companies cheaping out on woods for guitar bodies??? I can pull poplar apart with my bare hands.
Err, you know there's some blind musicians out there right? Possibly the only unbiased players out there
Did you really think I was talking about them?
@@TheGuitarGeek I think you were mostly in a peak of lust for the pretty thing, for this they will forgive you.
Did make me think it would be great to have a blind friend to take along to try out instruments with though
Part single coil and part humbucker 🤔??🤔?? Shumbucker humscoils
Shumbucker is a good name for a pickup
@@TheGuitarGeek it might actually catch momentum 🤔 Run with it👍👍
hahahaha
@TheGuitarGeek
Blind guitar players don't shop with their eyes
The new PRS SE NF3 is nice but too expensive for a guitar made of poplar wood. Poplar wood is inexpensive so why is this guitar so expensive? Another PRS I can't afford. To me it's just not worth $800. There are to many other budget friendly guitars made with alder or mahogany that I think are better. I think because of the PRS name brand maybe $500 would be the top price I would be willing to pay for it.
Nice try. It's "Adda-ron-dack."
That's what i said!!! 😉
@@TheGuitarGeek Right! Exactly why I watch your videos :)
I bought a mij Yamaha acoustic. It was awful and I should have sent it back but I got a bit cross and smashed it up. Never again, the 'craftsmanship' was terrible. Just saying!!
Don’t feed the kids they don’t know they are born
Okay, please don't think I'm taking the piss or trilling _ but as a cyclops (born blind in one eye) there are a few folks out there that are even more blind than me. Certainly a minority, but the blind folks who might listen to your show and imagine what the colors you describe are but they don't shop with their eyes ;) but it's all good. Cheers
Fantastic to see a female getting a signature guitar from Fender! I wouldn´t buy it, but its great to see Susan getting recognition!
The HER is a great Strat as well, but in person the color was definitely geared towards females. Surprisingly fat neck.
Nita Strauss’ Ibanez is still one of Ibanez’s best offerings.
Hmmm.. where are the trans guitarists? The industry is clearly racist
Laura Lee from Khruangbin has a signage Fender bass coming soon too. At least she’s touring with a pretty posh new bass. But she’s been playing a lawsuit-era bass for years. So it would be wise for Fender to give her a proper signature.
Again a Katana///Must be betting good money to shill this thing...
So much money you would’t believe. I don’t even have time to count it before the next gold shipment comes in
Why in the US il “under 800 bucks”, I.e., $799, but in the UK £800? I don't mean the actual cost, but this endless US nonsense of pricing everything at “less than”? Less than a thousand! I.e. , $999.99. Please, don’t encourage them!
It's called "charm pricing" and there is a lot of evidence that shows this is a psychologically proven strategy to sell more products. I don't care one way or the other; it's a negligible amount.
Yikes! 🚫🦅Those *fingerbirds* really annoy me. But I have ornithophobia.
Don’t buy a PRS then. They are full of them!!!
@@TheGuitarGeek Exactly. Never will.
Ad-er-on-dack 😉 Grew up in NY. Tho I much prefer the Ad-Iron-Duck. 🦆🦾⛓️💥
The Susan Tedeschi tele isn’t expensive, it just seems expensive…alrighty then🫤
