@@MichaelBartlettGuitar I got it so that I can preserve the original speaker but I actually do like it better. It’s very clear but not harsh at all. I do recommend it.

@@johns.8961 It’s the black one.

@@chrislestermusic There's metallic in the black paint? Flip flop? Has to be because it looks like a very dark cherry, I really like that color. In fact I think I may to buy one. I just picked up a Firefly FFMN too.

@@johns.8961 It looks like it's the reflection of his wall.

@@davidshort8226 Yeah. I watched it again and it's the wall. Too bad, it would have been a great color.

@@BlazonStone I think it’s just the camera angle because it isn’t. It’s normal spacing. 😁

@@ClemenziMusic The tele I used to play with you is a GFS parts and it’s made of Paulownia and super light. 5 pounds. This guitar is made of alder so it’s a little heavier. Probably around 8 pounds, I bet. Killer guitar for $309.

@@chrislestermusic Cool! Thanks! I was hoping it was maybe in the same weight category as our parts guitars. I think Olivia would like some of the finished, but at 8 pounds, it is about 3 pounds too heavy for his little frame!

@@eddaymusic Thank you Ed! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season as well.

@@Bigsbeee I put in some Black Cat pickups by a builder out of Massachusetts. I have them in this Les Paul and my Goldtop. Believe it or not the bridge pickup on this one is 5.6k but gets that Billy G tone. At least I think it does. There is a video where I’m comparing both Les Pauls and you can hear the pickups in that. I still love the Antiquity though.

@@tzmathew I have the bridge pickup very close to the strings. The middle pickup is backed off a little more than the bridge. The neck pickup is flush with the pickguard. :)

@ I thought your neck pick-up sounded amazing. Was wondering how low you’ve kept them. Have to lower mine and try. I have pure vintage in my neck and middle now. City limits bridge. I think I’m finally happy with my strat pickups wise.

@@BlindTom61 Thank you!

@@hoiboi_official Hard to describe but it’s probably most like a ‘59. It’s not beefy like a ‘58. Not too slim either. One of the most comfortable necks I have played. Feels like home.

@@chrislestermusic thanks for the info. It's a gorgeous looking guitar!

Thank you very much!!!

@@blakespurlock5322 Wow! Thank you.

The hum isn’t bad but some rooms make it worse than others. The BOSS NS1X Noise Suppressor fixes that. Then you don’t have to worry about it. I think any true single coil will make hum in certain environments so a noise suppressor really helps.

If it were me I’d buy the PRS. The LTD is great too. I think if you’re comparing the two, the PRS at the price is a much better value. I have had 4 PRS and still have 3 and they stay in tune better than my Gibsons. Great design and stability. Just my two cents. You can’t lose with either one though. 😁

@@chrislestermusic thanks brother i really appreciate your opinion 😃

@@nzxtff1020 Anytime. Let me know how it goes!

@@chrislestermusic somebody offered me a prs tremonti se for 600 dollars I am a bit confused

Thanks!!! That’s a huge compliment.

The Deluxe Reverb is set pretty clean. I have the drive on the Royal Blue set to around noon or straight up. A Nobles OD will get you in the ballpark of that tone too. It’s the sum of all the parts though between the amp, pedals and guitar. What are you using for gear?

@@chrislestermusic thanks so much. Previously I was an hx stomp, morning glory, and belle star guy. I love amps but where I play digital is just easier. Considering now a tonex 1, hx stomp xl and contemplating drive pedals. I made a custom jazz master that gets tones close to the reverend but the reverend kinda twangs a bit more, which I kinda want.

@@jonathanmgurneyI’m just seeing this comment now. How is your tone quest going?

Thank you!

It’s all in the setup of the bridge and springs. I had it setup as “dive only”. As long as nothing is getting in the way of its return to its starting position (like a badly cut nut or issues at the bridge) then tuning is really stable. 😁

Wow! Thank you VERY much! It was the strat into my Bogner Atma into the 1x12 Bogner cab. Plus my pedalboard.

@@chrislestermusic It reminds me a lot the sound of Chris Impelliteri.

Imho edge of breakup like this clip is where they show their true character i found most quality Strat pickups sound very similar clean.

It does make a difference but it’s minimal. It wasn’t worth it and the pickup sounds better with them in.

@@chrislestermusic Thanks!! 🙂

Thanks for that gem of wisdom.

How douche of you

@@chrislestermusic Actually, they do sound great, and I just ordered a set. Of course your playing is a big part of it, but I dig that ancient tone. Do you recall what amp you were running thru?

Ahh, the Bogner Shiva is mentioned in the description, nice

Thank you!

@@chrislestermusic thank you! You've convinced me to buy the pickups :)

I bet they sound great.

@@chrislestermusic I think probably everyone who plays hears their tone from a completely different perspective. Grass is greener sort of thing.

Actually it was stock here. I have since changed out the bridge pickup and put and new pickguard on it and removed the covers on the middle and neck pickups.

@@chrislestermusic u play and sound great! would u recommend this guitar? or a good tele by fender les paul etc? Thanks for the help

@@chrislestermusic i play a princeton was always worried the korina body would be thin sounding:)

I love them. They have a lot of clarity but still have bottom end and punch. They are more vintage style so not hot output. I prefer them to most everything else I have tried (aside from Suhr ML) and they are cheap. $100 for a whole set.

@@chrislestermusic cool thanks a lot. I have city limits set in my strat which are overwound and run hotter... I wanted more vintage voiced pickups. Also considered the classic blues and surfari sets but most likely going to go ahead with these. Might keep the city limits bridge pickup as it sounds really nice with overdrive and I barely use the bridge for cleans.

@@tzmathew The city limits bridge pickup is the best bridge pickup ever wound !

You just hear them. They sound absolutely amazing. What else do you need to know :)

@@predigr I just put s set of PVs in a Japanese 62 reissue strat and they sound fantastic !

I think it’s a Classic actually.

What pickups are in it?

@@brettdiazThey are Black Cat pickups. Sorry. I just saw your comment.

There are pedals. They weren’t always on though. I kicked them on here and there. I listed the pedals and the gear in the description. 😁

Check them out! Chris makes great stuff. I have had a bunch of his pickups and they are all great.

Thank you! That’s really kind of you to say.

Just to be clear, you mean you like the burst better than the Goldtop? They are both Standards. 😁

@@chrislestermusic haha, yes! 😜

Must be the build or the wood or the pick ups or the

@@georgehoggatt3759😂

Black beauty is winner.. or cherry sunburst or wine red.. is there really a winner?

I agree. I played 2 chords unplugged on that Goldtop before I bought it and could tell immediately it had that quality and snagged it.

Sounds great! See you at the cider mill in a bit. Cheers Chris!

Thank you! I’m a fan of the aAnts too. I don’t think the neck pickup sounds dark in the room. I have it wired split so it’s actually single coil.

Thank you very much. I appreciate that!

Thank you!

Wow!!! Those are incredibly kind words. Thank you VERY much.😁

I wrote them in the description. 😊

Ooh moody …just answer the guy..rude prick
