@@jimioconnor8039 I have not played the Black Magick sound the same, but similar. The video demos of Sundragon don't sound quite like it given the RUclips and microphones etc. Tim's is the closest, but not as FAT as it does in person. So maybe in person - but I definitely think the Sundragon is exceptional. I bought the standard one, no signature, just under 4k. Sold ALL my other amps when I got it. This sound is pretty close to the real deal: ruclips.net/video/ui59RonHKdk/видео.html
Jose, not sure I know what you are talking about because anybody can play a cover of something it's if you actually play the recordings that they flag you and will take down the video but if you just crank out a few seconds of a riff they cannot do anything about that and when he started playing Whole Lotta Love that's really deceptive because Jimmy played that particular song from the second album through the Les Paul not the Telecaster so that doesn't not sound anything like the studio recording of Whole Lotta Love any Die Hard page guy knows this but when he ended with that riff and slowed it down and held those notes it sounded dead on or real close to Ten Years Gone that was really really sweet and wish you would have played a few bars of that with the telly because he may have used the Tele on Ten Years Gone later on I'm pretty sure but don't quote me on it... but I agree with the other comment that they should have played the Les Paul and the Telly and did a little Communication Breakdown in Dazed and Confused because that's what the Tele and the Supra was most likely used on and that would have been a more accurate demonstration of how this m could create Pages original Studio tones I mean come on now you guys had to have known that and you didn't even bother and just oogled over it... easy to understand though lol
Tim's a joy to watch every time I click on a video of his. His friends are delightful and their enthusiasm is contagious! Made my morning! Thank you, Tim. Really, thank you. I appreciate your interactions as much as your playing and, you are one of the finest players I've ever heard. Truly elite on multiple levels.
Just bought a 1972 park 75 !!! Pretty sweet . Owned by Michael landau...at a great price. Love dealing with people with great reputations and class, thanks La vintage gear!
Real guitar stores are magical! I grew up in Brooklyn and our trips as kids to West 48St were always inspiring and special. The atmosphere and vibe was unbelievable - great guitars and great players everywhere! I’m really grateful for guys like you that create content that kind of invokes that atmosphere and vibe via RUclips - bringing these wonderful real brick and mortar guitar stores to us on your channel! Thanks!
Will Roberts hey Will, they’re all just about gone. Matt Umanov on Bleecher is still around, but I haven’t been in there for while- and I heard a rumor that they may be going out too. I’m thankful that I bought most of my “keepers “ years ago. I did find a cool place that’s a throwback- South Side Guitars in Williamsburg. Had some repairs done there- really nice guys and good work.
JohnnyArt Pavlou yep! There was plenty of that “hey kid” stuff, but we were kids and the trade off was it was ground zero for guitar. Oz like is a perfect description. I feel bad for kids that missed that and only have Guitar Center type of shops. But then again, they have RUclips, where we had to actually sit there and “drop the needle “ to learn licks.
Tim, I bought a guitar from Clif over the phone having looked at his website first, a Tuttle Telecaster. I think it was the first Tuttle Clif sold. He was kind enough to post a video of you in his store playing the same guitar on his webpage.That was really special for me. I agree that dealing with Clif was so much more enjoyable than the big box stores. His passion for music and his friendship with you were all things we talked about during the transaction. I live in DC, so I waited a few days for the guitar to arrive, tracking it with FEDEX several times a day. When I opened the case I was ecstatic and overjoyed. I would love to purchase again from Clif.
Tim, I got to play this amp at NAMM in the Hiwatt booth. Mitch Colby was there and gave me the run through. It was a really impressive and unique sound. I was really impressed!!
J rockett does the supro black magick sound like the sundragon? How did the sundragon sound in person was it all hype one trick pony or what idk if i should buy a supro or wait n try and afford a sundragon when the standard run comes out?
What an amazing store! Definitely my kind of place! The sheer variety is what I love. Instead of all vintage or all boutique, it's a very handpicked mix of everything. Really awesome!
Tim, watching/listening is such a pleasure. My money is on you're the same guy off stage as on stage. Just a "real, down to earth man". Love your knowledge, desire to teach and attitude. Much love dude.
As a former music store owner/partner I know how hard it is to do bricks and mortar business. And as a veteran Audio Engineer/Producer I know the hard slog that earns such a reputation. Hats off to Clif. Respect!
Browsed the site, nice gear and surprisingly most within the realm of obtainability, not cheap, but not ridiculously priced stuff nobody can afford which I'm sure he also has. I can see why he is successful. Would definitely buy one from his store if only my playing warranted such nice gear.
I love LA vintage gear bought a jmi jm30tb with trapezoid head and alnico blue cab from them I really enjoyed the relaxed approach to the buying experience very knowledgeable with what he sells This shop doesn't sell duds nothing but good stuff in there That jimmy page amp sounds fantastic
What a great store. I've wasted more than a day or two in stores with all those classic and unique items. Thanks for giving all of us watching on your channel have a look at it.
I'm a poor slob on disability and can't buy stuff. When I was in my teens In the late 70's I bought a Fender Strat(bullet truss) and a really good Gibson SG. I'm really glad I still have them. :)
It's the person on the strings that matters, and Tim you have the chops to make any setup sound awesome. Playing in a stadium, that requires some gear. I couldn't afford to open the door to go into His store.Great to look at though from a safe distance.
i forget if I've mentioned this before on one of your videos, but your Les Paul is a standout from an appearance POV... the fact that you are a PLAYER(!!) makes it that much better.
In the mid 1980's I used to hit up the 3 main "old gear" guitar shops in Hollywood down the street from the Original Guitar Center. There was not the fanfare for vintage gear in the "new-digital 80's". "vintage" was your grandma's silver and Model-T Ford's, not guitars and amps. Although some gear was fussed over. A little perspective. One day in 1985 I walked into a used store and a first run Fuzz Face was selling for $600, but also in the store was a mint, tube $100 Vox Pathfinder 'for Thomas Organ Co.' (I bought), a $100 beat to hell, but good sounding orig. tweed Fender Champ, a $150 Danelectro tan/goldish Formica guitar w/ amplified guitar case. And I went next door and bought 3 "as is" Fender amp chassis less their tubes, cabinet, spkr, but otherwise complete. I paid $75 and walked out with a 1963 brownface Bassman, 1965 blackface Bassman w/ master vol mod, and a 71' silverface Twin Reverb with a single silicon transistor input buffer on the input of channel 2, and powered from a DC supply fabricated and tapped off of the bias supply. THAT'S HOW I LEARNED TUBE AMPS! It was before the Groove Tubes manual so schematics were scarce. I paid $20 for 6-8 schematic photocopies of Marshall and Boogie at one store. The Fender amps I committed to memory. Between those three chassis, I had a sweet sounding '65 Bandmaster a buddy grabbed for me at a flea market for $25. It was covered with cigarette burns, and also had a "chopped" portable-into-head '65 Princeton that a neighbor gave me. Lots of 65's...I was born 10/13/65...so am I a pre-CBS hmm. I tried my first mod converting that Princeton it into a Jim Kelly amp. The 6V6 tube seemed so foreign. I had boxes of 6L6, 6L6G, and 6L6GC. Years later I became an electronic organ nut. Still am! A little secret...ah' I better not, you 'vintage' cats might go make guitar amps out of'm. BTW The HAMMOND AO-35 3-SPRING 'NECKLACE' REVERB AMP? It's better off sitting until you can find a 3-spring reverb necklace to go with it. It's the best reverb period imho. Any speaker-out/tap drives it. So universal. The necklaces show up on Ebay.
@13:00 min, comment that Tim played on Rick Springfield's album 'Snake King'. No wonder(!) I'm lovin' it. Great song writing - a kinda bluesy-flavored album.
The marriage talk was golden ! think about including a minute of current personal life with every musician's interview, Tim ! Suddenly those people become more like the rest of us :)
Love the live clips. Allen Hinds playing a Pat Metheny song, Abe Laboriel Sr. and Abe Jr. playing with Michael Landau. Travis Carlton on bass supporting Mr. Hinds. Travis seems to be everywhere. His dad must be super proud.
Cool guitar shop. Awesome vintage gear too. Those Landau Strats sent me down memory lane. I bet they sound incredible. Michael Landau always has the perfect strat tone to! Soooo good!
I would be honored and scared to be in that room. Seeing all those guitars and amps, I would get over whelmed, dizzy and fall on something I could never afford. So thank you for the tour
Great video with the usual dose of over the top playing extraordinaire! You are definitely getting the hang of this music thing. ;-) I always love the way you craft a "pocket". And hearing these great amps and guitars in the right hands is a lot of fun.
I’ve been a professional drummer for 41 years. You wouldn’t know me, but if you own a TV you’ve probably heard me.., anyway I’m a guitar and guitar amp ‘geek’.., I have around 20-25 guitars and about 10-12 amps.., I love your playing and I love your channel, but this was a joy to watch.., one of my favorites yet ! Thank you...
The Renaissance Man Project Mostly indie performances.., but I’ve performed live or pre recorded on all the major stations morning shows and the Travel channel, Weather channel, etc. I’m certainly no Jim Keltner.., just a big fish in a small.., but I get some decent calls...
Very cool store. But, you don't even have to get as exotic as Cliff's inventory to be novel. In my area, it's nothing but big box stores....Deluxe Reverbs, HotRods, Marshall DSL, Vox AC 15 and a smattering of Orange stuff. I've been asking my local store to get in a SuperReverb and Bassman, stating I wanted to hear them and purchase 1. I always get the same answer, "go to the web and buy both. We have a 45 day return. Bring back the one you don't want..." Great place Tim.
northof50now I know this aggravation! Stores around me don’t even carry Fender and Marshall at the same time. If your shop is willing to refund what you paid, if you don’t like the amp, then I’d take advantage of that.
northof50now you have an actual guitar store? Moved to a major city. Not one guitar store. Major hobby and living in a city you want to just walk to the different stores. That’s my hobby. Nope nothing left. NYC is the last place I think that still has independent stores but the big box stores and online sales will eventually finish them off.
@@robertwellington2616 Yep! I'm in eastern PA. The Music Zoo, on the Island [Long Island] is about the only place you'll find any high-end stuff. Funny, even looking at some of the manufacturers websites for "dealers" - most are dealers in name only and have very limited inventory if any at all. This is very common in Philly. Love internet shopping, but...if I didn't know better, I would swear guitar playing was a "niche" hobby. :-)
Tim, what do you think of Rick Springfield's playing in The Zoot? Their version of Eleanor Rigby is amazing, from 1971, I think. They are a legend in Australian rock. I love your playing, and your presentation and attitude.
@@michaela9817 Yeah, he announced it a couple weeks on Facebook and Instagram. Said that his heart just wasn't in it and wanted to find a new passion. I can't say I blame him. He went from producing a few guitars a month to having a backlog that was almost 2 years long. It stinks - I was about to get on that backlog for a Strat. The prices are now opportunists on Reverb taking advantage of supply/demand.
This video made me sad, happy and grateful . Sad ill never be able to afford the amazing gear, happy you made a video so i could experience it even a little and grateful for all the great songs you contributed too. Thanks Tim for all of it. I can actually remember the first time i heard Runaway which is kind of weird in itself. An everyday normal moment but it was the guitars that grabbed me and thats why i remember the moment. Thats rare.that i remember the moment i first heard a specific song and in my world thats pretty cool. Awesome thanks
Excellent clip...it's really great to get more info out there about what brick and mortar stores and "mom and pop" stores deal with. And I will say I love ya Tim, with all my heart, but "Whole Lotta Love" (and likely the rest of the second album with a few exceptions like the Vox Phantom Electric XII on "Livin' Lovin' Maid) was almost certainly recorded with Page's #1 Les Paul and the likelihood is strong that he used the Vox UL-4120 head and Ric Transonic cabinets with Jensen speakers as the amp for that song. This combo is relatively clean with Mid and Upper Mids stressed, and I think it was boosted with the pre-amp from the Vox Long Tom echo unit he was using at the time according to photographic evidence. The Supro is present during the sessions according to the same photographic evidence, but I make an educated guess that the Supro was not the amp used for the main guitar track. There may be more evidence in Jimmy's new book 'Jimmy Page: The Anthology' which details specific gear in detail in at least some of it's pages. That said, the sound of Page's modified Supro (which the Sundragon replicates) lives in that beautiful boosted mid and upper mid land where electric guitars shine and it does give a very similar tone to the Vox UL-4120 head/Ric Transonic/Vox Long Tom pre-amp gear. And you do play that riff absolutely correctly with the bent D note at the 5th fret of the A string with the open D string ringing...crucial to making that riff really sing! Great work as usual! The licks you play at the very end of the clip are VERY similar in sound to the Zeppelin I version of "I Can't Quit You Baby" which by all accounts WAS recorded with the Dragon Tele and the modified Supro...
No offense meant in any way...I am grateful for all you do! I'm just a severely obsessive Page fan and thought I'd share a little of what I have learned. Thanks very much indeed again for this and all your videos and tutorials!
Tim this was an outstanding video!!!!! I stumbled upon it and subscribed!!! That Sundragon sounded so close to the record!!!!! And I really enjoyed seeing the guitars and amps that I was unfamiliar with!!! Many thanks!!!
Oh my God! That really is Jimmy Page's sound, especially paired with a Tele. I always want a Supro but will never definitely afford the Sun Dragon, but as somebody said somewhere here, the Black Magic is perhaps the one I'm getting.
Sundragon is planning on releasing a more affordable, non limited edition amp, this fall. Not sure where the price will be, but I'm sure that it will be much cheaper than the limited edition models. www.guitarworld.com/news/summer-namm-2019-jimmy-page-announces-standard-edition-sundragon-amp
that page imitation amp looks awesome. luckily I already own a mid 50's supro, but if I didn't I would certainly be interested. cool store. thanks Tim.
No question that the single most true thing said in this video is the marriage advice at 15:18... "They just want to be heard. Listen, don't try to fix it!". If only I remembered this more often. Cool gear, great store too.

Tim what do you think of jimmy Page . He was my idol . And you know your right most of Jimmys solos were clean
I really like the Supro Black Magick, which was supposed to be a similar amp, but at an affordable price.
It’s an excellent sounding amp.
Corbcorbin does the black magick sound like the sundragon or not even close?

12:26 ...EVERY night! Damn...
Mr. Pierce, if you made a video of just you playing Jimmy Page riffs, I would happily watch it.
The record company would flag the video for copyright and take all the money generated from the video right out of Tim s pocket

You gotta love Tim. Regular guy, phenomenal guitarist, great sense of humor. What a champ.
that Tele through that Jimmy Page amp sounded unreal
"Just listen. Don't try to fix it." A gem in a sea of gems in this video.
12:26 & 14:58 too.

Father and son on Bass & Drums. Now that is cool.
Thanks Tim, what a great interview!
Thanks Tim that was a blast to watch !

In the mid 1980's I used to hit up the 3 main "old gear" guitar shops in Hollywood down the street from the Original Guitar Center. There was not the fanfare for vintage gear in the "new-digital 80's". "vintage" was your grandma's silver and Model-T Ford's, not guitars and amps. Although some gear was fussed over. A little perspective. One day in 1985 I walked into a used store and a first run Fuzz Face was selling for $600, but also in the store was a mint, tube $100 Vox Pathfinder 'for Thomas Organ Co.'

Funny, even looking at some of the manufacturers websites for "dealers" - most are dealers in name only and have very limited inventory if any at all. This is very common in Philly. Love internet shopping, but...if I didn't know better, I would swear guitar playing was a "niche" hobby. :-)
Tim Pierce is such a good guitar player!
Super fun vid Tim , thank you! I became Robert Plant for a few lines until you stopped. I love the back of the amp also, great stuff.
Great stuff as always! Thanks Mr. Pierce. Respect!
@7:08 So cool when Abe Laboriel Sr. thanks Mike Landau for his playing
The sound of that Tele with that amp is awesome!
8:37 Pure Awesomeness 🤘
Wow that amp sounds incredible! Wish I'd tried it out when I was there
Loved it, Loved it, Loved it..........Thanks Tim👍
Awesome vid, Tim. Thanks.
jajajaja...loved the honesty when answering about who hated you the most...lol!!!
Cool video.Beautiful store.
Out here in the north East you are a very well kept secret to me.
So glad to have found your store! Thank you for sharing!
Tim, what do you think of Rick Springfield's playing in The Zoot? Their version of Eleanor Rigby is amazing, from 1971, I think. They are a legend in Australian rock. I love your playing, and your presentation and attitude.
12:26 ...EVERY night!
I bought two Danocasters on the phone from LA Vintage and had them shipped to Salt Lake City. The service is fantastic and the guitars are amazing.
I love my Dano Tele. Too bad Dan decided to move on from making guitars.
@@Indyrunner03 I didn't know that. I wonder if that is why the prices suddenly jumped. Well...I'm glad I have a couple. They are two of my favorites.
@@michaela9817 Yeah, he announced it a couple weeks on Facebook and Instagram. Said that his heart just wasn't in it and wanted to find a new passion. I can't say I blame him. He went from producing a few guitars a month to having a backlog that was almost 2 years long. It stinks - I was about to get on that backlog for a Strat. The prices are now opportunists on Reverb taking advantage of supply/demand.
This video made me sad, happy and grateful . Sad ill never be able to afford the amazing gear, happy you made a video so i could experience it even a little and grateful for all the great songs you contributed too. Thanks Tim for all of it. I can actually remember the first time i heard Runaway which is kind of weird in itself. An everyday normal moment but it was the guitars that grabbed me and thats why i remember the moment. Thats rare.that i remember the moment i first heard a specific song and in my world thats pretty cool. Awesome thanks
As always another great vid. Thanks Tim!!
Excellent clip...it's really great to get more info out there about what brick and mortar stores and "mom and pop" stores deal with. And I will say I love ya Tim, with all my heart, but "Whole Lotta Love" (and likely the rest of the second album with a few exceptions like the Vox Phantom Electric XII on "Livin' Lovin' Maid) was almost certainly recorded with Page's #1 Les Paul and the likelihood is strong that he used the Vox UL-4120 head and Ric Transonic cabinets with Jensen speakers as the amp for that song. This combo is relatively clean with Mid and Upper Mids stressed, and I think it was boosted with the pre-amp from the Vox Long Tom echo unit he was using at the time according to photographic evidence. The Supro is present during the sessions according to the same photographic evidence, but I make an educated guess that the Supro was not the amp used for the main guitar track. There may be more evidence in Jimmy's new book 'Jimmy Page: The Anthology' which details specific gear in detail in at least some of it's pages. That said, the sound of Page's modified Supro (which the Sundragon replicates) lives in that beautiful boosted mid and upper mid land where electric guitars shine and it does give a very similar tone to the Vox UL-4120 head/Ric Transonic/Vox Long Tom pre-amp gear. And you do play that riff absolutely correctly with the bent D note at the 5th fret of the A string with the open D string ringing...crucial to making that riff really sing! Great work as usual! The licks you play at the very end of the clip are VERY similar in sound to the Zeppelin I version of "I Can't Quit You Baby" which by all accounts WAS recorded with the Dragon Tele and the modified Supro...
Hey thanks my film is not perfect and I appreciate your knowledge
No offense meant in any way...I am grateful for all you do! I'm just a severely obsessive Page fan and thought I'd share a little of what I have learned. Thanks very much indeed again for this and all your videos and tutorials!
None taken ....Much appreciated
Tim this was an outstanding video!!!!! I stumbled upon it and subscribed!!! That Sundragon sounded so close to the record!!!!! And I really enjoyed seeing the guitars and amps that I was unfamiliar with!!! Many thanks!!!
Although WLOL was recorded with Jimmy’s black LP custom thru a vox that the engineer dug out for him, so it doesn’t sound that close.
Cool store. I’m about a 36 hour drive away, but maybe one day!
Beautiful store, great stories, nice Mike Landau inset with rhythm section Royalty.
This guy makes any amp or instruments sound phenomenal
What a goofball hitting his wedding band on the high gloss finish on the feiten guitar
man, at 7:23 that James Tyler headstock reminded me of the epic Michael Casswell - Joe Bonamassa jam video. RIP Michael :/
Great video, thanks Tim !
Good stuff Tim...Thanks!
Thanks Tim, what, no "Stairway" at the store? Sorry. I live in L.A. and have not been here yet. The Allen Hinds clips were awesome.
The only thing SCARY is how much money I would spend there. Oh, and how good Mike Landau is at guitar. You too, of course, Tim.
Awesome video Tim. Thanks so much sir!
Oh my God! That really is Jimmy Page's sound, especially paired with a Tele. I always want a Supro but will never definitely afford the Sun Dragon, but as somebody said somewhere here, the Black Magic is perhaps the one I'm getting.
Sundragon is planning on releasing a more affordable, non limited edition amp, this fall. Not sure where the price will be, but I'm sure that it will be much cheaper than the limited edition models.

that page imitation amp looks awesome. luckily I already own a mid 50's supro, but if I didn't I would certainly be interested. cool store. thanks Tim.
Love this Tim! Great vid!
No question that the single most true thing said in this video is the marriage advice at 15:18... "They just want to be heard. Listen, don't try to fix it!". If only I remembered this more often. Cool gear, great store too.
Amazing video! Shared! I'm certain I know some folks who will learn a ton just by watching.
I would love to run a store like that. Great video🎩🎩🎩
Nice guy! I bought a really nice vintage ES-3xx case from Cliff about 4 years ago!
This is a gem of a video, thx Tim.
That was great. Thanks for sharing.
