    I just got the Tim Henson signature on Saturday. Honestly, it feels amazing. I love all the features that come stock on the AZs, gotoh bridge and licking tuners, stainless steel frets with rolled edges, roasted maple neck, pearl headstock logo, luminlay side dots, gold hardware. I love it so much, it’s actually inspired me, it’s one of the best guitars I’ve ever played, probably only second to a petrucci model

    • @anupjsebastian
      @anupjsebastian 2 года назад

      The Tim henson model if I am correct is missing the coil split stuff and the hard case right? I think it also has a slightly lower spec bridge, but it also sells for a bit cheaper. Looks dope tho with the covered pickups. Hard choice to make. I went with the AZ2204B. I hope you are still enjoying the guitar.
      I usually hate buying signature models but the TH model is dope as it doesn’t have Tims signature or anything on it and just seems like a special edition guitar.

      @mitchell10394 2 года назад

      @@anupjsebastian it’s such a dope guitar. It doesn’t have an features that I’m lacking from what I currently own but I still want to get it just for the aesthetics

    • @anupjsebastian
      @anupjsebastian Год назад

      ​@Loren Jones Yeah, I still have it and still is fantastic. I also have the AZ2204N. And this also would be a good choice for what you are looking for.
      Both of these are great, and sit in between strats and superstrats. The B is a bit more high output and sits closer to superstrats and would do a bit better for higher gain lead and stuff, and the N sits closer to strats with lower output but more defined pickups for strattier stuff, but otherwise they are pretty similar.
      The Bs pickups breakup much sooner and I have to keep the knob at like 3 to stay clean and the volume boost is very dramatic, with a small increase.
      The Ns are more like a strat and the you have more room to work with and stays cleaner longer. (obviously this depends on your amp settings too, but I am talking with the same setting on the amp).
      Another difference is the B has a floating bridge with a cavity underneath, so you can do flutters and stuff, and the N comes with a trem locked to the body and has no cavity (like a strat). The springs are pretty tight stock too, so if you want it floating, it will need some adjustment.
      There are other differences too, like the fretboard, but yeah both are solid choices, depending on how far away from a strat you want to go. N also has a compound radius, but in practice doesn't really make much of a difference, both are equally as good to play.
      One thing I don't like are the tuners on both. They are locking but it is a hassle to change strings. I wish they went with standard locking tuners, but its an easy fix, as they swap straight out for standard Gotoh locking tuners.

    • @anupjsebastian
      @anupjsebastian Год назад

      @Loren Jones it’s nice to have but honestly I don’t really use it a whole lot. It does a mildly decent neck humbucker emulation tho, and it also has a Tele position with the neck and bridge-split active, which is nice.

    • @anupjsebastian
      @anupjsebastian Год назад

      @Loren Jones Now that is something that can be inconsistent regarding where you live, and how long the guitar was in storage, etc. Regardless of the price of guitar you get. If you can get it sent to you straight from the warehouse, there is a good chance it will be perfect, but shipping and weather changes can have its effect on the neck. With any guitar you should be prepared to make adjustments.
      Having said that, the B was pretty good out of the box, however, I made some small adjustments to it to suit my playing and got it even lower. The N had a neck crack on the finish when I received it from the dealer and Ibanez replaced the guitar under warranty, as I contacted them as soon as I had received it and inspected it. The action was pretty good as well, however the replacement I received straight from Ibanez was absolutely perfect. Only guitars I have tried that had better action out of the box were a Suhr Mateus Asato signature, and a Music Man cutlass BFR, which a friend of mine owns. I believe these are Pleked at the factory. However that being said, these were straight from the box from the factory as well. On other occasions I have tried the same guitars in stores and they were nowhere near as well setup as straight from the factory.
      In any case with a guitar of any price point, you should be prepared to make small adjustments from time to time, and if you switch string brands etc. The SS frets help massively in keeping a setup working well for a long time as they don't really wear out from my playing atleast. The roasted necks are also pretty stable. And so once you set it up to your liking it will stay that way for a very long time.

    Two different types of videos I’d love to see -
    1) Let viewers describe their home rigs (amp, guitar, cab, pedals etc.), choose two of them from the comments and shoot them out by comparing which one sounds best for home use (below 85db or something) and for also for gigging. I think that could be really helpful.
    2) Less useful, but probably entertaining (more like a challenge) - Find two people who know nothing about guitar and get them to build a rig for each of you. Try to get the best sound from what you have to work with.

    • @RicardoDiazHimself
      @RicardoDiazHimself 6 лет назад +2

      Suhr has been doing this since like 1980, at the Rudy Pensa shop. Same with Anderson and those are the inspiration behind the RT and AT (And Pacificas) series in the 90s,

    • @lauscho
      @lauscho 6 лет назад +2

      Erin Kenny, they have lavaliers in this video, and most videos in the last couple years, and even go out of their way to tell you when they don't or they're not working. I think they either need to just take down the volume of the guitars or raise the volume of the mics at whatever DAW they're using to fix it. Honestly, it shouldn't be *that* hard.
      Boo5552, do you mean something meaningful like responding to comments I don't like on RUclips? :P

    This is the specs every Fender guitar should have had years ago. And that 24 fret guitar sounds better than any Suhr Modern I've ever heard. I don't like the colors though.

    • @RicardoDiazHimself
      @RicardoDiazHimself 6 лет назад +2

      not really, tho. I'll grab any Modern before these. Those SD pickups dont really sing

    • @Indiegaze
      @Indiegaze 6 лет назад +1

      RicardoDiazHimself I love Suhr guitars...but I honestly thought the clean sounds of these guitars sounded better than any Suhr Modern I've ever heard. In my opinion, 24 fret guitars have a very specific and generic clean sound that I personally hate. But these guitars for some reason seem to have a clean sound that almost sounds like a 22 fret guitar. (Guthrie Govan playing a Suhr Modern is the exception though. But he can make any guitar sound amazing...)

    • @RicardoDiazHimself
      @RicardoDiazHimself 6 лет назад

      My modern neck pickup sounds as warm, round, and pleasing as my custom 22 fret Std from Suhr too. Actually sounds warmer than my 22 frets Ibanez.
      But i recognize its those SD pickups fault, as all the specs for the AZ series should provide a Suhr-like openness and warmth. These pickups do sound generic to cover a wide ground.

    • @Indiegaze
      @Indiegaze 6 лет назад

      RicardoDiazHimself I won't argue with you, as you seem to have much more first hand experience than me. I've tried a couple, but I've never owned a Suhr guitar, although I've dreamed of owning one for over a decade. I'm a huge admirer of their guitars. I've never liked the sound of Ibanez guitars (except when Andy Timmons and Steve Vai play them), but I think the AZ series sound great. At least from what I've heard on RUclips.

    • @RicardoDiazHimself
      @RicardoDiazHimself 6 лет назад

      Yes, indeed they look and probably are amazing. I would just change the pickups, lol. They do sound kinda lifeless, even when played by Tom Quayle

      I don't know, Guthrie goes for around 3200 €, this is around 2000 €....still a quite reasonable price gap to consider these. I love the looks of the new AZ range, kind super strat-ish (well, what Suhr have been doing for ages now) but not too modern. I need to try them and if they come somewhat close to Charvel, it's a no-brainer for me :) But I understand your opinion.

I myself am not a fan of locking tremolos but man they do sound good and are quite wild looking but they have always been known for wild colors. No case but still $999.99 US for a quality Japanese guitar great buy especially if you find them used after a few months of being out.

  • @SimonDuffy2
    @SimonDuffy2 6 лет назад +1

    I have a couple of suggestions for videos, fellas. 1: Best totally natural guitars i.e. no coloured finishes; just the wood. (Personally I would go something like an unstained PC1 idea without the flood rose and that naked, undotted fretboard does it for me big time - And 2: The most tonally versatile, cover all the bases guitar, be that digital modelling (Variax stylee) or standard wood and pick ups, but just has a ton of different usability.
    And if Chappers could do a demo without that awful 14th fret A bend, luvly jubly...Heheheeeee.
    I'll stop at 5 comment reposts, as I feel it's just on the border of being charmingly quirky enough for you to still pay attention to my vid ideas without you completely binning the idea.

    • @Chango_Malo
      @Chango_Malo 6 лет назад +4

      it ain't about Rob being stuck in a rut. It's about him not demo'ing the guitars in a way that you can actually get an idea if you want to take the time to run to a guitar store and try it out for yourself or not. Widdlywiddlysquealywiddlywoowoo doesn't let you hear squat. A smattering of hard pick attacks, loose grip picking, hybrid picking (which Rob usually does pretty well btw) finger picking, comping fat chords, spanking some triads, etc etc. would be nice. Along with nice clean tones for a change.

    @randbradbury 6 лет назад

    I think the roasted maple & "vintage" logo is a good combo; classy and subtle while still looking different in a good way. I can't help but think that these new drying/roasting methods are simply faster ways of preparing wood disguised as new technology designed to improve sustain and tone. I'm sure I'm wrong, but I still think about it every time I encounter a guitar with wood that was cooked. The real deal here are the $899 RG series shredders, hands down. Excellent deal.

  • @ph0kused
    @ph0kused 6 лет назад +4

    All joking aside this is one of the weakest andertons reviews ive seen from cap and chap- they knew nothing about the product. These guitars have so much tone, i mean if youve ever played one youll know what i mean, the hyperions pickups are amazing on their own account. Also the mx switch for coil tapping and baked maple necks, the fact that lee and chap didnt know about baked maple and stability through different humidities - just shows they did t do their homework on the product. All they wanted to talk about was the look. Cap you squandered a great opportunity to talk about a really sick guitar. Ss frets come stock on baked maple with all the coil tapping modes, but you go to the head stock? Come on guys.
