Gumby-ish? Thats a new one on me haha. But i get it, its gotta be right to you or its not.

They ship that many guitars 100% right is just an impossible expectation. My friends have bought from peach prior to this one and was the best online order service they had. It wouldnt put me off buying from them 🤘 Well, for what its worth from a stranger on youtube. You wouldnt regret it. But it would set a seriously high bar from a gibson. Which just means you end up wanting a customshop gibson haha

@@Paul-D Yer. I'm looking at Peach again now. I've had a couple from them before. 👍 They appear to have the best price on ES335s at the moment too ... G.A.S. is a terrible thing 🤪🎸

More coming within the next week on eastman 😃

I hear you and others on this. I do. And your not totally wrong. But…. In my experience the pickups make up the vast majority of difference to the sound and so this comparison is still at least somewhat valid. I did the same thing again this time on the same guitar and the difference was still about the same, not that much in the case of these 2 pups.

Thanks dude. That was my intention for sure. For me personally how good a product sounds as it is, rather then being sweetened by other external gear and know how is something overlooked by alot of the channels.

And i would add, the price has gotten too expensive on these lately haha.

Some of the deals you can get on DSL40s here are pretty nuts. Im sure alot of Americans would be quite shocked compared to the prices they pay for Marshall amps!

Well, im about as prone to the sticky neck thing as just about anyone can be I think, and mine has definitely worn in and past that pretty quickly. Although, The newest ones are not varnish finish anymore so..... Just have to know if its a varnish or newer True Tone gloss one

They actually still make the antique varnish and the Truetone as well. The one I’m looking at is the new sunburst antique varnish (new for 2024). They do limit them though because of curing time and they don’t ship them in hotter months.

Ahhh thats interesting - I thought the newest stuff was all True Tone and varnish was gone. Ive even been hunting down new old stock varnish ones ahaha

It was Simple mam played wrong haha

@@Paul-D thanks mate, it sounds good, I'll check it out. Love that guitar, but I noticed there are versions with black knobs and others with orange. Not sure if they're different models?

The Eastman model line up does take abit of remembering haha. Inshort though. Anything with a ‘/V’ name is the higher end full customshop type ones. And the normal number models are the standard ones. Both are amazing though

Run to you Bryan Adams

Yeh or a katana or plugged in to a interface.

If its just 2 humbuckers you can for sure.

This one is the seymour duncan antiquities. The les paul types and the P90 ones are lollar

@@Paul-D One last potentially stupid questions. Is there two t59v finishes, with one being more amber and lighter than your one? Is so are they the ones with orange knobs as opposed to black?

Yeh ive had a couple of those - they are tough to beat thats for sure. The only issue i had with the ones i had was they were pretty heavy.

Hope it goes well and you like it 🤘

No idea sorry. Whats the VAT import duty there?

I totally get it. I really do. The thing is, ive never wanted a do everything guitar.

@@Paul-D There really is no such thing but that's as close as it gets.

It does. Ive gone back to this strat a few times since and i think i just need to find ‘the one’ like i have with my 335 copy haha

@Paul-D yeah probably... There's so many great guitar tones that only each guitar can fully produce. I used to have a lonestar strat with a humbucker in the bridge position... it didn't sound like an SG or Les Paul though..

I did 🤦‍♂️

Thats something ive never considered before. What do you think it would do?

Faber has 4mm abr-1 bridges and brass saddles👍

I got it working - just couldnt get it loud enough even if i brought it into a daw and made it too loud

@@Paul-D with the new core one there is option to adjust volume of loops.

Yeh but no matter what the playback when using a file loaded on was never loud enough. Totally drowned out. Not the same volume as when you use it as just a looper. It could be fixed by now though

@@Paul-D yeah with the new Loop Core you can set the vol!

Is there a newer one then this pedal is there?

To be fair for not much more money the STG62 or 57 performs alot better on both counts. So thats worth going for instead

The old ceramic pickups on standard mim strats were never great imo. Much better with the Alnicos

thanks dude, I always get bit nervous about my old videos still being out there haha. We all keep learning and trying to be better!

It does work i just couldnt get the track to play back at anything like loud enough

I think so too, Currently starting to experiment by adding some analogue gear to digital rigs (see if even a sprinkle of real helps or is worth doing) Ahhhh that is a Riff I heard Tom Bukovac play on his channel a while back and it got into my ear - no idea what it is or if he made it up on the spot lol

Ahh uncle Larry, enough said. That’ll be this weekend’s homework! Thanks Pauly!

Im stretching my memory bit here but I think it was on the episode where he shoots out Nobles pedals at a store. There's also a a jam he did with Joey Landreth that has some killer riffs to steal haha

Appreciate that man! I’m going to have groove on your version but will have a hunt. One of his videos I think called Queens Chair had an awesome jam.

Glad it was recognisable haha

Always happy to offer advice etc 🤘🤘

Hi dude. I want to experiment with mixing hardware and software more but will it be a waste of time and money?? And still no T64 yet. Ive fallen short budget wise a couple times. But its my birthday soon and im back on the hunt fingers crossed this time - vid to follow haha

@@Paul-D Some people get great results from using a pedalboard into software to make the final touches. I'm happy with just pedals, and as many of them analogue as possible. Good to hear you are still on the hunt for a T64. I play the T59 and T64 most of the time, but just purchased a Standberg as I was getting a bit of RSI. The Strandberg is a completely difference experience, but also a blast to play. It's also nice to see how your playing has progressed. You learn way quicker than I do! Thanks again for all the content.

Thats kind of you to say - everywhere has been fast running out of the older Varnish eastmans which is what im after really- but may be that i end up with one of the new nonaged ones…. Well see!

@@Paul-D Yes the older varnish T64's were hard to find when I was looking over a year ago. I actually purchased mine from Guitar Village UK and had it sent to Australia. I couldn't find one here. Hopefully one comes up second-hand for you.

He is absolutely great at what he does for sure

Thanks dude - theres alot of ground left uncovered like mixing hardware and software together…. But ive only just started seeing if that works haha

Cheers mate! Could you forsee going back to anything digital on the current offerings, or mixing pedals with something like a tonex or kemper player etc?

Thanks for your input, exactly the type of comment I was hoping this video would collect :) I know at some point ill have to go down the Kemper/fractal/QC route just so I actually know it. But im assuming its relatively similar to the plugin world

@@Paul-D Yeah , I mean you can get close but there's just this viseral power to a real amp (and more importantly Cab)... Especially on edge of breakup tones ( I think for metal no probs with digital)

Yeh I have same experience that the higher gain you go, the more the digital side seems to work, perhaps even is better.

Its 95% of the way to T59v. Amazing guitar.

@@Paul-Dit’s a kick butt 335 style guitar for sure glad I stumbled upon it last week can’t wait to gig it

I agree

You dont know me. Its a video of a guitar i chose to buy to stock my shop at the time (as most of my earlier vids were). Not something i was obligated to sell for someone else. Theres a difference.

Fair call mate. Didn’t realise you had a shop. Good videos btw :)

Thats awesome!!! Im Hoping to get a t64 (after 3 failed attempts since this vid) within the month. (Birthday shopping haha)

Also - what store was that? Im willing to travel basically anywhere in the uk for the right one

@@Paul-D Back Alley Music in Mold north wales. Great guys, Steve and Chris. Just looking at their website they have a couple in stock. Their px terms are good as well. They will generally give 2/3 of what they think they can sell stuff for.

ive seen them online - one of the few bigger Eastman stores I haven't been too - will definitely keep them in mind for my trip - it seems they have the exact one im looking for in too!

Thanks a lot!

Not sure how you found this little corner of RUclips - but im glad to have you here! 🤘🤘🤘
