One of each....😃🎸🤘

Every time I visit a music store: "What kind of guitar are you looking for?" "Yes."

What would be great is if most people understood that in the end, it doesn't matter much because it's mostly the amplifier and the speaker that make all the difference. What matters is that you feel comfortable, that you find it beautiful and enjoyable to play. You can play jazz without any problem on a BC Rich guitar.

Glad to see the tube 15 back

I play equally crap on all types 😄

Bless you Elmo. You do a great job with your videos and you seem like a genuine nice, humble guy. I wish you every success with your channel and your goals for life

I mostly play sitting down, so to me is quite important how they feel in terms of positioning. When I play teles I find myself strumming over the neck pick up instead of doing it in the middle of the two pick ups. LP style guitars tend to sit very low and make me twist my wrist too much... I feel more comfortable with 335 bodies. Maybe because I played mostly acoustics all my life ? The scale length I don't care too much about string tension cause you can adapt the gauges. But the fret size on the fenders also makes it more difficult to stretch my little fat fingers 🤌

5 different types of guitars- Fender Strat, Gibson L Paul, Dr Tech 4 string bass, 6 string E /Acoustic, 12 string E/Acoustic. Each is quite different and each does what it's supposed to do. What else do I NEED? Ooh ya Got 14 amps of various kinds for each sound needed.

I have the US version of that amp, and I play out with it all the time. It is a fantastic sounding workhorse. Everyone is always asking to try it

Old Guy guitars for me LP, Strat & Tele. Although I would like a hollow/semi-hollow to round out the old guy guitar collection.

The SG is a great all around guitar for most styles. Why they're not more popular is a mystery? The SG Modern is a very versatile model. Maple cap and 24 frets give it some distinction.

I really love all these selections. Great job, Elmo. It’s been a while so it’s great watching your channel again. It’s just been sooo busy.

Having tried all the various types of guitars since learning to play on junk in the early 70's the main things i have learned when choosing the right guitar for you are that it must say play me, if it doesn't it will be another one that just collects dust, assuming that it grabs your attention, then play it for as long as you can in the shop, i quick strum for a few minutes tells you nothing, next is the body and more importantly the neck comfortable, if not then try another guitar of that type, only then will you have an ideal guitar that you will want to play. As for the various types, i now only buy S style guitars, i can't stand T types or anything that looks like it should have Gibson on the headstock. PRS, i have tried but they are not for me. These days i tend to buy Super Strats not beacuse i play metal, but because they are so easy to play compared to Fenders idea of a perfect Strat. Each to their own, it takes a lifetime to become a good player, then god has other ideas.

Les Paul-ish style guitars speak to me.

I am a wierd F#. My prefered one is a hybrid standing inbetween Les Paul and the Strat and to find one that realy works out in its design and soundwise getting that magic from both and also having a nice boque of its own that is hard. I have managed twice my nr1 always but put in regular terms, the original single coil six point Strat!

Superstrat for me!

I love my Harley Benton HB35+. Out of the box the action needed some fret levelling to bring it down from 6 thou to 5 thou but it was playable as was. I happily used the then stock Wilkinson pickups for four years. Wanting more brightness I fitted IronGear Blues Engines and 50s wiring and now I regard it as highly as my Fenders and solitary Gibson SG.

When i first started i wanted nothing to do with a telecaster. Now honestly my favorite is my fender telecaster.

Thanks ! Really helpful !

I have 5 strats and one 335. So we go from there!😀 thank you for great guitar reviews! Greetings from Jūrmala!

One additional point on top of the Floyd guitars is that the out of tune thing isn't just after abuse, but if you break a string. That's the worst part. At least the other models do not have floating trems (unless you set up a Strat trem that way) so a string break means you can at least get to the end of the song. Not so with Mr Floyd, unless you install some hardware wizardry in the trem cavity.

Yes each of one🎸

I have G&L Legacy (Strat) and it stays in tune very well. It actually somewhat adapts to the humidity because the string tension depends not only the scale length - which varies as weather changes - but rather the trem block strings that couldn't care less about if it's monsoon or -40°C outside. But my god, when it gets out of tune finally, it takes multiple iterations to tune, because the trem block strings naturally affect every string and react to any tuning change quite much.

another great video on guitars comparative ,and I love the tremolo's torture , in the end ,buy the guitar ...(s)... that inspire yourself to play ,and pick it up at least 5 mins every day ,legends have been playing all their lives,great players play everyday, and having a taste of a bit of music is always sweet for the soul .thanks

hi Elmo, great vid as always, i have all the usual suspects except the semi hollow, but the guitar i always seem to go to now is the ibanez AZ, its got all the sounds and has ss frets, which are a must for me, im always gigging and i have fret wear in no time, the ss frets just dont seem to be affected, also i find splittable humbuckers very useful, especially live, i dont have a floyd guitar but i have my eye on getting an ibanez s series with ss frets, that skinny body is irresistible

steve the colonel cropper is a mega telecaster fan. he plays them almost exclusively.

All of them for different purposes, occasions, styles, moods, mojos.

Love your channel, brother. You nailedit....try it before you buy. It took me a while to learn that looks are not everything. I have avoided tele guitars due to not liking the headstock. Know what I play most in the studio? Tele. Very versatile and great tones. Thanks again, Elmo. Keep it up!

I have that amp with a Vintage 30 speeker. I love it.

As always, thank you very much and I appreciate your opinion Elmo and your reviews. Cheers.🎉🙏✌️❤️

Your such an honest guy I got two harley Benton's and they are great like you said.thank you for being honest and not being a money hungry person for guitar reviews I'm amazed at your abilities since I've been watching from michigan I notice you play mr. Malmsteem can you play now your ships are burned by yngwie. I know you can just play a few seconds of it on your video. If you were in michigan you would be the man. All anybody plays here is boring blues always the same srv. Licks boring. Would love to be her student but sorry to hear what happened. Just hold your head high and they will be calling and begging on there knees to have you back. Thanks brothers patrick and john we try to help when possible thank you for being there for people like us. The way you teach about the guitar if it's good or bad the two you suggested came and play great.thank you my brother will see you in the next video. Your brothers from mich.

Let's not forget Jimmy Page's use of his Telecaster on the first Zeppelin albums. Talk about "Heavy"...

I ordered Epiphone ES335 earlier this week for my birthday, which is today, suits my bluesy style but nice to know if I grow my hair I can play metal on it too

Great job Elmo!

Got all of those style of guitars, as long as setup correctly, all are good, I find Fender style stay in tune better, Tele's and 335 the most versatile, but I prefer a P90 in neck of the Tele and a HB in bridge of Strat.

I prefer Super Strats like Ibanez RG, Charvel DK, etc with HSH, HH, or HS pickup configurations.

Great vid as always ! hope you'll do a follow up video one day, with some more specific and original types, that would seem less polyvalent at first guess, and are still available as cheap alternatives, like the fender offsets and mustangs, the gretschs with their fullertrons, danelectros with lipsticks pu, mosrites, or even a vibrato equiped firebird (I would love to see you shredd and dive bomb, Frank Marino style, on a vibrola but I digress... XD ) Thanks a lot, every time I see one of your videos, it makes me want to grab one of my guitars and practice !

I bought and sold so many guitars figuring this out. Crazy that I got rid of the Gibsons and Fenders and ended up with an Ibanez semi hollow and and a G&L Tribute S500. I can’t knock the American Strat, did slightly prefer the neck to the S500, but vastly prefer the electronics and pickups in the less than half the price Indonesian G&L. I like teles, but I prefer body contours. I really like the Schecter PTs for a tele style. Overall though, I spent a lot of time and money to find that I like strat style and semi hollows and that I prefer middle of the road price point guitars, generally.

just give me that little underrated one BLACK SG of Honor and also the one SG-style from Yamaha for instance

Awesome video! You are great!

I have one of each and SG and Tele styles as well. They are not enough the same to satisfy me within various playing ensembles.

Need all of these...and one with Floyd Rose.

Kitty Kat loves Super Strats.

Great video Elmo 👍 Always try a bunch of guitars. Like a fine suit, you will feel the comfort and love the "look" when you find the perfect fit.

Every time i reach out for my Fernandes strat, 1994 made!

For the first guitar you buy, you should buy non-shitty but cool guitar. If you want a flame-top Les Paul, it should be it. You want to buy guitar you like. But that non-shitty, it can be a challenge. Good straight neck, levelled smooth frets, low enough action, reliable tuners, ... spend some time studying before buying, and return the ones that feel bad.

Like! For me, the super strato, i like it more!

Whatched this and since I already have a sss-strat and a hh-ibanez, decided it's time to try a squier contemporary jaguar. It would be nice to have a review on that by Elmo

Great vid! I think you should mention that blending pickups on LP gives soooo much flexibility. LP is my favourite. But sound of tele and strat neck are my expanation for buing more guitars :)

strat type because of pickup sound

All of them are right for me

I always just gravitate back towards humbuckers and Les Paul type guitars. I had a tele with nothing to complain qualitywise but sold it because I didn't "feel" it. Got then a used strat clone and swapped fender tex mex pups. Didnt like the thinness even with EQ, so swapped the pups to 2 boutique p90's. Now it sounds like what I wanted from a single coil. This is kinda expensive way to do it, better would be just test different types in a store. Try out different things and find what makes you go YES.

This video made me think that it's been a while since I just picked up my acoustic guitar and plinked away. Sometimes, you don't need electricity and just sitting with the guitar on the front porch is enough.

I missed your intro in your videos, it was kind of a signature intro... Would you consider including it in your future videos? Thanks!

I just can't get along with a telecaster -style guitar with that sort of heavy metal headstock.

Which type is for you? The one that makes you happy

Make a video about comparing the Ibanez azes 40 and the pacifica 112v they are the same price

Yo tengo una Jaguar japonesa con humbuckers y puente Tune-o-matic y es como una Les Paul ergonómica. Problema solucionado.

Plz make a video on how to set up a vintage stat tremolo ..

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also stay safe

My guitars are the SG and Tele types. For me...the best of all times. Simple, effectives, reliables, fixed bridges, 3 positions and absolutely above any kind of music. ❤.

Yngwie´s Strat is amazingly good for almost any kind of styles...

Harley Benton hasn’t made it’s way to ph i think but wow what a sound! and the finish even..

I have Solar and Tele.And this is it.And I do my black metal on Tele.Solar should be better with Solar Duncans, right?Tele tunes in every position and in every octave.Neck is not so wide like in Solar around 10 - 12 fret and sound is awesome.Solar is not so exact in tuning like this Mexican Tele with two humbackers.

24.75 scale Gibson'ish radius fretboard

All of them! Lol. I prefer Teles to be honest.

I have an Eart GW-2. Most comfortable guitar I have ever played especially as I play with the guitar sat on my left leg. Not perfect, but great for the money. I actually prefer the neck to the Strandberg. Would be better if it had a headstock - don't understand why so many ergonomic guitars have to be headless. Overall great guitar for the money.

Body Type doesn't matter..1. Wizard Neck, Gibson Mensure, 22 Jumbo Frets minimum, 2. 2 Splitting Humbuckers with Out-Of-Phase and High Output like Seymour Duncan Slash or SH-4, 3. Kill Switch, lightning Dots and Nuts with Tremolo 😊, Locking Tuners 😊😊😊

Ziiiiiltoid! The finest bean of coffee!

On the Eart Strat, you mention that the whammy doesn't pull it out of tune if it's "set up correctly." What does that mean?

Review a music man axis!!

Just got a used Riverside for half price. Can you recommended a setting that works good you, or do you change settings a lot for different uses? Anyways, thank you for fun and educational videos.

Sure, you can buy a cheap guitar or you can buy a quality instrument that retains its value and is worth passing down to a child or loved one - my two cents. Cool content though, thanks "that guy" :)

A SG.

The Eart looks nice. Terrible name, but I like that 😁

What is your advice in string gauge for a Tele style guitar Vs a Les Paul for playing heavy rock? I don't like twangy sounds, thanks!

What about the PRS-like guitars?

I was wondering where one can find the Stratocaster you usually use, the one that is scalloped.

Great video, by the way. 😂

Wow... Since a while didn't listen to Ozzy Miracle Man...

No flying V or Explorer? :)

Hello Mr Elmo , What is your favourite name brand in terms of medium priced acoustic guitars . Mine is Yamaha , Taylor . Cheers . Stay Cool .

How did you set up the 6 mount screw bridge on that Eart strat? still sounds so good with that wammy abuse

Great video! Slightly off topic but is that a chicken pick your using?

Telecaster makes me think of rage against the machine. That's about as country as it gets. Lol

I want a guitar that i can shred some metal songs and abuse the whammy bar but also i want to play indie/alternative songs, "cute songs" what do you think would be the best?

hello you use only the amp and the different guitars or you put effets on amp

review for grown ups..great!

Super tele partscaster can't be beat for simplicity, stability and plain out modability, not a real word but not a real tele either LoL

Aria pro ll STG 57?

Onko mielipidettä benttonin hb-20mfx. Efekti pedaaleista säästäis rahaa ja halpa on

'Promo sm'

Jazzmaster? 😭

Elmo's never heard of acoustic guitars. 😂

i just cannot afford to buy one tho

Best type is the one I get for free.

Man I really dislike the sound through that amp :/ so bass-heavy and muddy

Elmo, I'm a Flying V player. Suits my style and sound the best. ; )

Can I ask you something? I am Swedish, part Finnish, playing for 30 yey, I need some ergonomic guitar, back and shoulder are bad. Thanks from Kalix.
