We are very pleased to be allowed to show you this trailer from a new documentary which is in the latter stages of completion. The subject is primarily vintage guitars and good old Guthrie is seen playing a few beauties throughout the film. We asked for a version that we could host on our KZfaq channel which had a good chunk of the Guitar master at work. We also have had the honour of contributing to the musical side of this fab film with tracks from our JTCGuitar.com shop.
Spot another of our contributors in the film, Guitar Techniques Editor Neville Marten. Neville not only being a fantastic blues guitarist and world respected magazine editor, he is a walking encyclopedia of guitar history!!
Many thanks to Stephen Nugent who directed this film and graciously allowed us to host this sneak preview at such an early stage.
If you are new to Guthrie Govan please check him out at.....

@checkoutthisblues Guthrie was using a 1966 Fender Princeton with an Analogue Man Sun Face Fuzz pedal in between. The amp was miked up next door and you are hearing the sound coming through the studio monitors with a bit of delay and reverb added at the desk. This is all being picked up by the mic on board the camera used to shoot the sequences. Incidentally the SG Junior is from 1961 and has a badass bridge fitted only for intonation accuracy. The original bridge is tucked away in the case!

When Guthrie is playing the blues with the Les Paul notice how physically hard he's playing. The notes just pop out cuz he plays with such force or at least that's what it seems like to me. He's just plays everything so well I can't even believe it. I'd do anything for skills like that lol!

The phenomenon of vintage tones also applies to other instruments like piano and organ. No matter how the technology of synthesizers has evolved, most of keyboard players still looking for organic nature of pianos and organs, even that being through the samplers. PS: Guthrie Govan always stands out from the crowd, no matter what style is.

What's said from about 7:36 is misleading In 1954, a Fender Stratocaster retailed for about $250. Accounting for inflation, that would be about $2200 today In 1959, a Gibson Les Paul retailed at about $265, while a Les Paul Custom retailed at about $395. That would be about $2100 today for the Standard and about $3100 for the Custom. A case would be $350 extra These instruments weren't cheap nor readily available. It's more accurate to compare them to boutique guitars than production guitars

@Gregorypeckory 9 жыл бұрын

first They're just keeping the mystique alive; as someone else said, they are salesmen, and for them, inflated old guitar prices mean a bigger pie for them to take a piece of. The guys in this video don't seem to know too much about actual guitars and guitar playing, but they have a strong agenda to convince us old=great and new=crap, but that is utter nonsense. Some old instruments are nice, others are crap, none are the holy grail, and in general, guitars made today are better. The one dude lost all credibility early on when he made the idiotic remark that there are no real electric guitars anymore. The other dude lost it when he made the analogy between old violins and old guitars, to support the idea that you need an old one to get the special mojo only old guitars have. I call bullshit on the writer, and everyone but Guthrie who appears in this pretentious mockumentary.

Essentially, if you want a guitar that is as good as those original early 60s strats and Les Pauls and others... Just go to a custom builder and have them make you a guitar that fits your hands for around $3-4K. Now, going by that one guy's estimate, you have $16-17K left over to finish your rig, buy backup guitars, etc. Fair deal to me. I know, I know, the older guitars have mojo. Whatever. You'll get more mojo from a refinished early 60s strat that's had parts replaced (I.E. has been played like hell) topping out (Absolute maximum) at $7,000 than from a pristine once/week practice instrument from some old fart's collection.

It's funny how they insist on the point that if you want to sound like #### you should have a guitar from the year ### and then you will get it :D The tone is in the artist that plays the instrument. Give Hendrix, slash, page, or vai a modern good quality guitar and They will make it sound amazing. A good instrument is like a good car, its amazing by itself but in the right hands makes wonderful things.

The statement with Violins regarding Tone is so bullshit. Guitars do not have a free vibrating top like violins. If you don't play a violin for a while you definitely hear the difference in digression of tone massively. Is pure physics.

I don't feel that this video was made to be taken seriously but I do own a 67 strat and a 73 jazz master but I mainly play a $99 Ibanez from guitar center. Why? Because i don't have to worry about it getting dropped, stolen or people constantly asking about it or wanting to try it lol. But there is something to be said about that old tone. The wood and pickup windings just seem to get better and better as the years go on. Like someone else said a good amp is where's it's at. I've played lots of Mexican and korean strats that played just as good.

The technology in shaping overall tone has not changed. You should read about the Stradivarius instruments to understand how vintage instruments can have what many professionals consider a "better" tone.

@sepultribe666 12 жыл бұрын

@awemedinade no guitar made from the woods available today is great sounding. average sounding at most. it was before the guitar became easily available to the masses that wood could sound 'great'. it was when trees were left alone to grow and mature enough before they were cut, giving the wood its superb tonal characteristics. you can't sound like that nowadays, except if you have an old fireplace to use, like brian may did.

@toxicdooney Guthrie's friend Phil Holborne (himself originally a classical player) told me GG found he couldn't do classical. The lack of finger nails would be one problem, I would guess his tendency to outrageous spontaneous improvisation might be another. He certainly doesn't need anymore talents to prove his brilliance.

I repair guitars and I have seen instruments that are anything from 20 to 50 years old. The problem is if you play any guitar for that length of time the wear and tear builds up. If an electric guitar of any age has not been regularly serviced it gets to the point where it is almost unplayable - worn out frets, finger nail divots in the fret board, all the metal parts get corroded and rusty and the electronics are unreliable. When players buy old guitars they usually need a complete rebuild, with parts replaced with new and a re-fret to make them playable. At one time in the late 60's it was perhaps true that if you bought a guitar from the 50's (only perhaps 10 years old) it would probably be better than the then current instruments. That is not the case now.

@pazzmodium you got what i said wrong. what i meant to say was that the wood from a tree being cut at 10 years of age is gonna be vastly different than wood from a 100 year old tree that was left alone 90 years to mature enough. wood sources in the old days were not the same as today. ever heard of fast-wood plantations? of course there where bad sounding guitars back then, that's because the locale plays another role in wood sound quality. luck is in there too. many factors..

@voiceofreason79 I can see your point, and from a purely historical angle these guitars and tones are important for modern music, but I also think I know what upsets your 'friend' LfunkeyA so much - the observation that vintage seems to win the upper hand over proper musical ability. There are so many mediocre bands around that brag about the old equipment they used for their boring records, and sometimes it seems to be more important who plays the rarest guitar than who's innovative.

@awemedinade guitar quality is far better than what it used to be, yes that is true. but trees are cut too early due to massive demands and this affects sound character. wood maturity changes its cellular structure and thus its acoustic response. just like playing the guitar for many years along with it aging naturally changes the frequency response. its all on google, search it up.

8:27 - 8:30 .. best statement in the whole video.... I understand the value of a vintage instrument and I'm not claiming they are better .. I've played an original Rhodes mark one keyboard for example, and wasn't crazy about the sound... but I understand the overwhelming value of that piece of instrument now a days and why.. I just think there's too much people thinking vintage is good while modern is just bad.. that's a big generalization

I agree that music should always be fresh and constantly recreated, but the tone used to create music is the preference of the player. Nothing for you to question, because everyone has different tastes. Respect that.

@tryfinally 12 жыл бұрын

@sepultribe666 Quite the contrary, actually. A tree's a tree, and most of the kinds of wood available 60 years ago is available today. In addition, modern technology and materials have made guitars more reliable and great sounding than ever. Well, unless it's the really cheap stuff.
