Fantastic playing! I agree the charcoal frost one with humbuckers is more appealing. For a master-built price I’d want something off the beaten track, not just a slightly more vintage-correct reissue.
Nice beautiful guitars mate. I love the tone of the Charcoal Frost while I dig the cool relic of the Vintage blonde.👌are they both $12,000? 😲 That's the price of my dream guitar, the "Buckethead Les Paul" that's now out of stock or phased out.🔥 Anyway, Glad YT algorithm recommended this video. Subscribed!💯
@@2good2betrue3 thanks for your kind words man! The sum of both guitars is £12000, the title is slightly misleading 😂. They’re both 6k. I love the baritone buckethead, they’re such huge sounding Les Paul. We’ve had a studio in before and it was class. Thanks for subscribing
@@squealingpigguitars2438 haha, thanks for clarifying👌, I thought each is $12,000🤭 I'm really shocked because I'm planning to buy one in the future. But anyway, yeah, The Buckethead Les Paul is probably the best 24 fret LP type guitar EVER. (huge high frets, - super easy to solo on the higher registers, 24th fret feels like 7th fret, Ebony board, 27 inch scale, kill switch button, chambered body). There's a single one left on Reverb and it's $11,999.00. I need to sell my 8 guitars so I can afford it.😅 but I digress, haha. Cheers!💯
hi ben what equipment are you playing through ?sounds great i have never been able to get that sound , guitars are amazing just remember you only live once
@@brianleecooper1814 thanks man! I’m using a kemper profiler in this video. It’s my ac30 profile. Also have a fuzz pedal on some of the lead sections. Thanks for watching and subscribe if you enjoyed 🤟
Even though these are fantastic guitars, I don't think they worth that price tag. Fender Custom Shop Guitars can be real, phenomenal guitar for way more accessible price. For that price range: I would definitively go for PRS private stock; for sure. Thank you, Ben! Nice content as usual! Keep bringing your beautiful video to us!
Thanks for checking out the video! We have some PRS private stocks coming in so I'll make sure to shoot a video of them this week. Thanks for your support
@@squealingpigguitars2438 Ah Ok, I've seen Fender Masterbuilt guitars for £12K on Reverb that were nothing fancy, no flamed neck or fancy woods, so it wasn't out of the realms of possibility! 😂👌
How could the answer ever be yes? $12,000 is so out of reach for the common player. Whoever pays that much would be too afraid to put any love into it. Every time you leave the house with it, you're putting 12 grand on the line. Every time you ding it up at a show or put wear into the finish and frets, it will be devalued as an investment piece. Watching electric guitars become high-end luxury items has been such a sad sight to see.
You are both right and wrong imo. I totally get you about the normal person not being able to enjoy it, but are you suggesting that these shouldn't be an option? Basically your annoyed because YOU can't afford the best of the best. Jeff Becks no 1 strat was a master built.
Who buys a custom shop guitar as an investment piece? If you play enough that you know what you like & have the money then why not? I play my Murphy Lab R9, etc at bars or anywhere else I play. That's why I bought them. Some people like motorcycles, art or whatever. I prefer guitars. I just wish I had decided to save earlier for the one that I prefer rather than buying selling so many other over the years (and losing money).
Lucky for you, great sounding and playing guitars are available for a few hundred dollars these days. It’s nothing to be sad about. Stop worrying about what other people do with their money and you’ll be happier.
No they are not, the bodies, necks and all parts are still mass produced parts. Essentially it is a very expensive kit guitar with some minor customization.

I like the charcoal one and I do love a matching painted headstock. Nice pup selection too. Flatter neck radius is good , so is bigger frets.
@@MrScrofulous yes it’s beautiful! Love the matching headstock, reminds me of an old custom colour Jazzmaster
Man what a sound !!!! can you share which delay / reverb are you used ?? ! many thanks !
@@matteoiuso9921 thanks man! It’s all in the kemper, hall reverb and the digital delay

I agree the Clay Dots are the best, they just look ooze vintage looks!
@@S-T-E-V-E yes!! They’re the best

I'd pay 11,500 for your skills and 500 for the guitar
They both sound amazing but 12K for a Strat? Or a Les Paul for that matter is ridiculous! You'd be expecting some serious inlay work for that price!
@@S-T-E-V-E thanks for watching. My title might be a bit misleading, 12k is the price for both of the strats. Still expensive but not 12k each!
@@squealingpigguitars2438 Ah Ok, I've seen Fender Masterbuilt guitars for £12K on Reverb that were nothing fancy, no flamed neck or fancy woods, so it wasn't out of the realms of possibility! 😂👌
Undoubtedly diminishing returns, but you made them both sound most desirable.
Thanks for watching
What's the song played in the intro?
@@3_to_the_dome501 remember when Guthrie Govan
I would buy a fleet of Eric Johnson Strats instead.
12k? I heard the sound of a toilet flushing🤣🤣🤣
Some people spend even more money for paintings or furniture. I don’t do that!
Objectively, no. But people will pay for what they like. so yes also.
The Price is STUPID There are Guitar Makers Out there Who Could Make Them Every bit as Good for Half that Price & £6000 is still a lot of Money !
No... Never..
Why use a 6 point term?
Authenticity. Not practicality.

It’s 12k for both strats, not each. 6k is still a lot, but not the ridiculous 12k number for one guitar
