Anything Rich lays his hands on sounds divine, he has the royal touch, but having said that these Eastmans are the business, I love my T186MX as much as my L5 and that's a heap of love right there.
I bought one of these after your recommendation in a previous video.. It’s an amazing guitar! This is my, “Desert Island Guitar”. If I could only have one, this could cover all the bases. The Seymour Duncan Antiquities are really sweet. My only issue is the weight. I’m an old dude! 😊
That T59 is a guitar I would buy. Beautiful instrument and sound. I ve been looking for an archtop with Charlie Cristians but I think they don t make them anymore.
The one that Rick put heavier strings on definitely sounded better, I wonder if they were 11s or 12s? I probably can't handle more than 11s anyways I suppose, but that tone with the thicker (flat wound?) strings sounded "dope" (that's a new term people are using?)!
I have sunburst T386 with Virgil Arlo 1959 pickups. It’s so good that I returned a $6000 Gibson es-335 1959 reissue VOS 2 weeks ago. The cramped neck of the Gibson both at the nut and bridge felt horrible after playing my Eastman. Gibson CS pickups were nothing great and my Arlo’s blew them away. The build of the Eastman was just as good (maybe better) and the resonance of the Eastman was better. Thinking about grabbing one of these…again! Soooo good!
No one wants Gibson anymore only the wealthy dentists doctors and executives who don't even play and use them for wall art..today's Epiphones are king and if it wasn't for Les Paul and Epiphone in 1941 the Gibson Les Paul wouldn't exist Today plain and simple..
@@RichSeversonGuitar I had a Gibson 335 years ago in the mid 1990's. I paid £1600 in installments for one then. I was never really impressed with the Gibson 335, so i swapped in for a decent Fender Thin line Telecaster. I prefer my Fender Thin line tbh. Not sure i wauld wanna pay £1500 for that! Each to their own. Great video!

Rich is the best! Lots to learn from this man!!!!

I love my Sire H7 Larry Carlton. Very versatile and with flat wounds can easily cover jazz, blues, rock. Insanely good value for money.
I did ask Rich about the Sire H7. He and Wes didn't know anything about it.
We definitely are on the lookout to buy a Sire H7, thanks to your recommendations!

The dots for the minor jazz blues, where can I find this for goodness sake?
They call those fret markers Split Parallelogram fret markers.
Beautiful tone! But the guitar Rich has on sale has some blemishes on it, am I right?
no it has the antique finish it's made to look old
Can I ask what amp and pedals are used in this video? Cheers
Hi, Adam! I am plug directly into a Mackie ProFX mixing board. No pedals or amps.

Wow quite a story
Cool performance but I can't remember the name of the song.
Mister P.C.
@@babalaughing Thanks a lot.
I bought a used 1970s ES-335. I didn’t like the sound of it. I prefer a full hollow-body guitar.
dido

I never heard about wealthy dentist and doctors and execs who don't play using them as wall decorations. That is the first I heard of that.
There £1500 pounds lol!
You would rather pay $3500 for an ES-335??
