In this video I play, compare and discuss the 8 guitars that have been featured the most on this channel throughout the years. I talk about what I like and don’t like about them and why I use some of them more than others.
I also address your feedback from last video on the 4x12 recording distance later in this video. I have implemented many of your ideas.
The guitars are:
’73 Gibson Les Paul Custom LPC 4550g (10 lb)
’08 Gibson Les Paul Standard R9 LP 3950g (8 lb 11 oz)
’73 Fender Strat 3450g (7 lb 10 oz)
’21 Nordin Comet Krystin 3400g (7 lb 8 oz)
’69 Gibson SG Special SGS 3150g (6 lb 15 oz)
’21 Fender Telecaster 3100g (6 lb 13 oz)
’75 Gibson Flying V 3050g (6 lb 12 oz)
’13 Gibson SG Standard Custom Shop Aged 2850g (6 lb 5 oz)

29:06 Next video - Amazing Neve 1073
I'm using a Marshall 2009ish 1974X 18W amp through a 1971 Marshall 1960A with Celestion G12M25 75Hz Greenbacks with Pulsonic cones. As a side note: the two speakers I'm aiming at with the mic are a 1971 and a 1970 model. The 71 has heavy doping (more mid scooped) and the the 70 has less doping (middier) so they complement eachother.
The mid preamp used in this video is the API 3124+ (API 312). In the next video I'm gonna compare API 312 and 512 to Neve 1073 and UA 610.
