Haha, yea it is! The Mesa isn't actually my amp as I was recording this demo at school I used to teach at but it's a cool amp!

@@sheifiproductions Ha!. I was watching this video because I was looking into this Quilter amp you are demonstrating here. It arrived 12/20/24 and sounds great! Mine has the 3 button controller. I can't find a 6 button. I'll keep looking.

@@Jeff-S congrats on the amp. It's a great amp, and frankly I've liked pretty much everything I've ever tried from Quilter. I don't believe the 6 button foot switch is still available but you might be able to find it somewhere used. If you go to the quilter website and to support it doesn't hurt to ask as they're generally quite responsive and helpful!

@@sheifiproductions Great advice. I'll reach out to them. Yes I figured it wasn't available but I could probably find a used one if I keep poking around. No big deal though. The three button one that it came with works well. Thank you.

@@leehenderson8132 still haven’t tried the UK model but love the US superblock. I’ve got way more than $300 out of it :)

@@JorgeGuitarLover thank you!!

@@lauriemacquanan2141 I sold the guitar quite a while ago so honestly don’t remember :)

Good points! Isolated, you can hear some minor differences between the guitars. In a mix I think it would be very difficult to hear the difference. I didn't change any settings on the amp or move the mic (or add any post production) to make this as fair as possible but yet when you're listening to a mixed recording odds our things like EQ, compression, etc, have been added.

@@JoeGariano haha, we both rock in style :)

@@greywarren5798 of course it does :)

Gotcha

Thanks

Thank you! Yes, I definitely recommend one if you want to play straight ahead jazz, chord melody stuff, or light acoustic stuff. I basically wanted something along the lines of an L5 but without spending a ton of money! This guitar is great value. Important to note though I did change the original pickup (more just for experimentation) but the original p90 that comes with it also sounds quite good. I did another demo with the original pickup in it.

@@sheifiproductions Thanks. There’s a second hand one in my local shop. I’ll check it out.

@@MrMjp58 Thank you so much for think words! I got the guitar to mainly do solo acoustic kind of stuff and straight ahead jazz and it definitely accomplishes this! If you want a good sounding hollowbody it’s hard to find a better one in this price range!

@@sheifiproductions Further to my last comment, I’ve borrowed one. It was fitted with extremely heavy bronze strings and was very hard to play. The pickup didn’t seem to respond well to these strings either - a rather weak signal and sound. I did like the general construction and feel of it though. I’m going to try some electric strings (11 - 46) on it and see how it goes on (before I give it back). Out of interest, what sort of strings do you use? An interesting hybrid instrument. I think I prefer it to a flat top, for the sort of material I attempt.

@@gejzalakatos7714 thank you so much for the kind words! For all of the clean electric solo jazz guitar stuff I almost always use quilter products. I’m pretty sure when I recorded this I used a quilter micro pro mach 2 and now I usually use a quilter superblock us.

@@LifesBetterWithMusic Thank you for then kind words! I actually started playing rock/blues stuff before I got into jazz. There is always time to learn new styles :)

@@kerricorser4562 Thank you and yes, it’s a great sounding guitar!

@@LeviLeibman how much do you charge?

Once I get my first #1 hit single I will consider flying you guys out :)

@@ZacharyStein-v5p Lol, not yet :)

Sure do :)

I heard he might :)

@@daniellanda2014 thanks! Hope all is well!

@@greywarren5798 thanks Grey!!

Thanks Alex!

@@steinberger95 🙏

Thanks Mike! I’ve been spending time to try and upgrade my home recording studio setup so pretty happy with it so far. Still a lot to learn. The horns were just from midi controller. Would have preferred real horns but it’s not horrible :)

Thanks! Can’t say enough good things about the Superblocks. At the beginning I just used it for mostly convenience when I didn’t want to use or bring a tube amp but I’ve been using it more and more for live gigs and recording just because of how good it sounds!

@@sheifiproductions will have one soon!

Yes sir!

Thanks! I think it’s one of the best values out there for a hollowbody guitar. I’ve been very happy with mine.

Being a single coil pickup in the bridge it will definitely buzz more compared to the neck humbucker. However, I don’t recall it being noisy compared to standard tele bridge pickups. Do any of the other positions create a lot of buzz or just when it’s only the bridge?

@@sheifiproductions The other positions aren't as bad but do have some hiss (except humbucker). Bridge position mainly.

My Kingpin has near to no buzz at all.. I've gigged with it for years and never had any kind of buzz.

Thank you, I appreciate it! I’ve really been diggin this setup.

Right envelope?

That is true. I know for example in a tele the differences in time between steel and brass saddles are fairly noticeable but I’m not sure how much of a difference in tone these two more similar bridges would make, but certainly possible it would account for some tone difference.

Thanks and Jordan and Jon both played great on this tune!

Interesting to hear the range of opinions. If you listen with decent headphones you can hear a difference. I would agree the hollowbody has a little bit more a full range with more lows and highs and the solid body is a little more focused.

Agreed, think the difference is pretty subtle but it's there.

Thanks for the kind words Mike! You should consider doing more music reviews as I love your descriptions. I've always enjoyed utilizing some of the jazz vocabulary and improvisational techniques with some of more rock/fusion background. I agree I think many fans of prog alt rock styles might enjoy some compositions similar to this.
