I agree that the NS-14 is a fantastic guitar. I have used the up position on the tone control but find it thin sounding and not at all strat sounding. I'm sure I'll fine use for it though. ✌️

@@garythomas4431 apparently it's a proprietary mid cut (or low cut?) filter as opposed to a split coil tap. I find the difference to be extremely subtle when running clean amps and only really usable for distorted loud tones (to tighten up the distortion).

Rios of Mercedes boots are legit!

@@heyitsbroski ya they are really nice. I just wish they did some direct to customer sales online. Needing to buy through western stores in other states makes it a little more challenging.

They bought the JB Hill factory in El Paso. So technically “they” make their own boots as they are owners now.

Thank you so very much! I got a lot of help from Balthazar. He is a wonderful human being and a very talented musician. I would send him samples while I was learning the song, and he always gave me good feedback ( positive and negative). This helped me push harder to learn the song to the best of my abilities. ❤

Wow, thank you!

I bought that guitar in 2019. Great neck!!! Fairy thin and shallow. The pickups are 57/81 designed by Neal and Paul. I love the 6lb semi hollow body. It plays great Accoustic style, and when cranked up without any feedback. The body is 14" wide and only about 1 inch or so thick, so it is very comfortable. The tiger maple top looks like a tiger eye stone. On the video I'm running through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, and electro Harmonix Holy Grail reverb, and a Strymon Cloudburst modulation. The guitar cost me $5500.

@@garythomas4431 that’s a nice guitar I’m hoping I can find one or get a model similarly made

​@lboog0907 This would probably be a good time to by. With the crazy politics, a lot of musicians are having to sell equipment. I bought mine during the pandemic and saved a few thousand dollars. Good luck and let me know what you find. I've owned two other PRS guitars that I sold. One was a pre lawsuit single cut. It was beautiful but sounded really thin.

@@garythomas4431 I have an Xaviere pro 555 Les Paul style guitar that I wanna modify to Neal Schons live specs with a Fernandes sustainer and dimarzio fast track in the neck

@@lboog0907 I love the sustainiac. I have the Schector Apocalypse with sustainiac. Lots of fun. I've used it on one of my recorded tracks on my other RUclips channel. Check out my song "Zoaule ". Just type in Gary L Thomas Jr Zoaule. I use a Strymon Cloudburst and the sustainiac for the effects.

Basically, yes. All his stuff was royalty free. But he’s just started to play live shows the last few months. I think he realized how much people actually like it lol

Yes. He had to give Ed whatever he had left unsold.

I'm using a Fender Deluxe Reverb. For Reverb I'm using a electro Harmonix Holy Grail reverb set at 1 o'clock. American jazzmaster.

They run a little small. I went up 1/2 size from Brannock and they are still a little narrow in toe box.

The tabs are available on Balthvsmusic.com

Lucchese makes a lot of boots from many different price ranges. I like there "Bart", which is just a cowhide boot. It runs around $600. Lucchese fits my foot well. They have consistent quality.

I agree to a point. Legacy boots are made in Mexico and are much nicer than Lucchese and many other companies.

Thank you. Balthvs is such a great band of three wonderful artists.

I'll have work on that.

Probably through the band.
