Steve, Thanks for the acknowledgement, it's very much appreciated. The return to Anderton's cost £20.00, they agreed to deduct it from the refund. I didn't think that was too bad considering the fact that the item was not faulty in any way. I don't think I'll be buying anymore new guitars without trying them first! All the very best matey.
Oh yeah buying online can still be a bit of a risk. The age old advice of try before you buy still holds up. Although I'm guilty of not following it too 🙈 On the flip side.... Sometimes a guitar can play like an absolute dog (in store), but be a wee gem after a proper set up etc
Great video Steve, just the sort of thing that I really enjoy watching, so more of the same would be very welcome. Totally identify with the red light curse, every time I record something I invariably play like I'm wearing boxing gloves!
Great stuff ,very enjoyable chat .Btw another youtuber that deserves a mention is Collin at The Guitaristas ,a great collection of guitars and great knowledge to go with it
Thank ya kindly mate! 😀🙏 and Yes! Colin is indeed a Legend 😎👍 I believe Three Chord Dave knows him quite well, and is planning on a collab with him in future too 😀
Hey Steve, didn’t even know Three Chord Dave until now 🙈 but always enjoy hearing you talk about your personal background and of guitar related life. So your move to cut down playing time in your videos and to end up talking more is very much appreciated by me 😊👍 Sounds like I don’t like you playing, which is of course nonsense 😂 but as I mostly watch your videos on my iPhone while I am relaxing in the bath after work, the acoustic isn’t the best anyway 😅😅 See ya mate Michael
Thank ya Michael! 😀🙏 Three Chord Dave is doing a great job with all the Gibson/Epiphone news etc... He's always first on the scene for new and rumoured releases 😎👍 I'm more than happy to blether more, I find that way eaiser than playing guitar with the camera on 🙈👍
Ha! 🤣👍 I'm a bit worried, you might be disappointed when ya find out it's not those kinda leeks . I'm so very sorry 😬🙈 It's still a great channel though 😎👌
Hi Steve, just a quick update as I received my long awaited Goldtop Prs se DGT this week. Have to say I was so disappointed that I have sent it back to Anderton's today! Nothing wrong with the guitar except it didn't live up to all the hype. My second hand Prs se 24 plays and sounds much better and has a more comfortable neck profile. Have to Anderton's were very good about the no fault return. Thought I'd let you know as these guitars are receiving almost universal praise and felt an alternative point of view was important to share.
Thank you so much for sharing this mate! 👍 Sorry it didn't work out for you. That's interesting as I've never really got on with a PRS yet... I thought the Silver Sky might be the one as it's essentially a strat,, but that wasn't for me either :/ Same as you, I'd only heard great things about the DGT SE and was keen to pick up a used one eventually. But I'm less bothered now after reading your experience. Total bummer when you're looking forward to a new guitar and it doesn't work out :/ Did you have to pay to return to Andertons?
Don't be more like him, be more like you. You've gotta thing with yer "look", mebbe study some Bootsy Collins, Prince, Sir Elton for ideas to steal, er, um, I mean, y'know, tribute....
Hi Steve. I am absolutely Dave's side when it comes to these days price evolution in the guitar world. I play the guitar for almost 49 years now.and i do not understand what is happening with fender, gibson, prs ibanez etc. Alle of them are running crazy. ALL, even the Ola's and the Chapmans. An indonesiam Ibanez JEM JEM - 2000 Euros, an epiphone for 2000 euros. A Gibson LP Studio for 1700. A prs silver sky that was 1800 Euros in 2020 turned up to 2700 in 2021. Paul Reed Smith said in an interview that he has to feed 500 mouth. BUT what is he feeding them? Gold? I mean a luthier is a carpenter with a bit of electronic knowledge. But they are treated like theyr''re all the new version of picasso. I don't get it. And what am i and a lot of people are forced to buy now. Harley Benton's, Jet's, Fazley's where we put new pickups in that cost more than the guitars themselves. That''s a crazy evolution. I could rage hours about this topic.
I hear ya mate! 😀 I think it might not be so bad if the extra cash was going in the luthiers pockets, but I'm pretty sure that wont be the case. The solution thats working for me so far is Boycotting these big brands and buying exactly what you said 😂 HB, Jet etc... I'm lucky to still own a USA Fender Strat, but I still prefer to play my Jet anyway😂🙈
jus sayin, this jet 850 has given up...if y use the trem ,it immediately goes wildly out oftune in different directions, tried all the roadie tricks ,tried changin n stretchin strings , nup, the roasted mapleis a disguise for shit maple, hours of trying to tune it , nup , its let go...shit neck...unless y faff about not using the wilinson trem ,which was great...now ? nup its shit
Many apologies - This comment ended up in the "Held for review" section. I had "shit" in the blocked words filter 🙈 At least we know you got it sorted with the Gotoh springs upgrade 😀 Well... for now 😜
@@stevecassidyguitar yeah its 20 years old,has grover tuners, y can play it for hours with zero tuning issues like the ibanez prestige junk, as for th jet , the trem edges where it meets th poles was not forged steel ,so it was only gunna get worse because everytime y use the trem its gunna settle either flat or sharp (exactly as i had described)...dwayne the luthier said all my other guitars have properly forged steel floyd rose, and the jet has cheap chinese steel ...so the shop graciously let me trade down again to beautiful old washburn whale that will go well with the origin 20 head n cab that im replacing this boss katana with, another modern rip off i mistakenly assumed would be at least adequate.
Three Chord Dave - What braw lad he is 😎👍
Would you be interested in more of this Chat type stuff here? 🫳⌨⬇
Nice chat, Steve. always fun to get together with other RUclipsrs and have some guitar-oriented conversation. See you Thursday!

Loved the honesty and freshness of the chat ! Thanks guys !

I like and hate the Les paul image that sits just behind Three Chord Daves left shoulder.
Just get rid of it, it's distracting to me.
