Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

Gibson makes very nice PUs, Joey. Considering the price difference (X5), it's to be expected.

Thanks!

This is a call?

@@650thunderbird It is or you're asking me?

@@DMSProduktions It's an attempt to sound similar.

@@650thunderbird I know, but I didn't know what that song was called, cos basically I can't UNDERSTAND a word Dave Grohl is saying in it lol!

When I break a string.

@@650thunderbird Haha ok. Esp those Bullbuckers, I found them a bit muddy, but once I took the covers off, they were much better! They're only thin pot brass!

@@DMSProduktions How do the covers affect the tone?

@@650thunderbird More treble response & less mud!

On my 4th ATM 👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻

All good, Dunsmeister! 👍🏻👍🏻

The 𝗡𝗨𝗫 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻, at the end?

@@650thunderbird No, the 3rd from last, I can't read any branding on it.

@@trioguitar They aren't real pedals, Joey, just Amplitube's rendition of them. The only real one is the Horseman.

@@650thunderbird Oh, of course, I should have read more carefully! So it probably is emulating the SD-1.

@@trioguitar I guess so, but I am no expert.

👍🏻👍🏻

They're pretty good! 👍🏻👍🏻

They're cheap enough and you don't have to be too careful with them, win win!

@@650thunderbird I’m convinced!

👍🏻👍🏻

🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The difference between the Artist and the HB in output.

@@650thunderbird Was pretty much the same!

No, they don't take any pics of individual guitars. Except for when I got the latest HB Double neck and it was used for the main ad photo shoot. They use generic pics for brands other than Harley Benton, unless it's a one off Custom shop thing, I guess.

@@650thunderbird was hoping maybe they did, but everyone is going to point fingers

Fixed it for you!

@@650thunderbird Thx.

@@larswesterhausen7262 👍🏻👍🏻

Postage is always a factor. We are well served by Artist, IMO.

yep, very similar

👍🏻👍🏻

@@trioguitar 👍🏻👍🏻

I can't tell and don't want to mess with it, Joey. It's hard to see with the naked eye and I needed to really mess around with lighting and camera to photograph it. My thumb found it!

Thomann is waiting on the UPS investigation, before making its determination. They have always been fair with me. 👍🏻👍🏻 Guitars are funny things, price doesn't always matter, but can.

@@650thunderbird Yeah UPS are useless buggers! I got an amp once delivered by them & it came BROKEN! (Needless to say, I GOT my $ back & got to KEEP the amp!)

@@DMSProduktions Swings and roundabouts, mate. They sent me a Sire with a broken neck and sent me a replacement, told me to keep the broken one.

@@650thunderbird Well spare parts I guess. WAS it a G style or F style guitar?

👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for your comment! Funny that, the differential between bridge and neck outputs, quite a few of mine have it. 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Joey, I wouldn't pay too much attention to this as a test. They both could probably do with some PU height adjustments. 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. I haven't even tried it, to be honest. You are probably correct, though 👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻

V is awkward in the lap position, Joey. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for watching! 👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻 Your welcome!

👍🏻👍🏻 As does Harley Benton.

I know the Vintage models you refer to, the main difference however is the Vintage hardware is relic'd as well, I tried one recently in Dublin. Where as the Artists hardware is all new!

@@davidhowe6023 Vintage has both, new and reliced. I worked at a store that sold them.

Yes, you are correct, again! You have some set of ears on you, mate! Should I not use two mics? 👍🏻👍🏻

@@650thunderbird No, 2 mics are fine, as LONG as you keep them IN phase with each other or make sure they are totally separated in the stereo field, so they don't cancel each other out!

@@650thunderbird On another note, my housemate treated me out to a day in Melb, & we went to the only remaining music shop in the Melb CBD: Coleman's Music in Elizabeth St. I played about 4 Gibsons, & 1 equiv Epi LP! ALL were different! I started out on an $8K+ ES335. it did NOT impress me, felt stiff and dead in my hands. Tried a '61 SG, now THAT was nice, really resonant, but I didn't like the neck taper. Then a '60 sepc LPS, now THAT was a nice guitar, apart from the strings being a little high, I couldn't fault it, really resonant & the neck felt good in my hands. That was a tea burst colour. Then tried an ESP, nah just nah, neck thru model, ~ $5K, was totally DEAD! Then I tried a CSB LPS, 50s spec, it was ok, but nowhere near as easy to play, OR as resonant than the 60s spec guitar! For shits'n'giggles, I then tried the equivalent Epi LPS in CSB, it was NOT a million miles away from the 60s LPS! It was decent, playability was not bad, and the body was quite resonant. GOOD for what it was. $1260. BUT it was NOT $3K different! The 60s spec LPS was $4500! Cheers!

@@DMSProduktions Sounds like a good day was had! I have a disappointing story on the DG 335, which is ongoing :(

@@DMSProduktions I may have stuffed something up in editing in Resolve.

👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻

Artist are a little "iffy" when it comes to US and UK. I think it's because of their copyright laws, particularly when it comes to Gibson shapes. Last I looked, there were only 3 (nitro non-relic) available for delivery in October, in AU.

It's a sweet thing! 👍🏻👍🏻

It could be! They have the other non relic-ed in nitro too, same specs though. Artist have come a long way, friend! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for checking in , Rich! 👍🏻👍🏻 They really are a cut above other budget brands, IMO.

For a time, it was, and then.....

I'm half-way through a review, Dunsy, let's just say I'm impressed!
