I love the fact that Jared's n⁰ 1 guitar is a $699 epiphone, and his n⁰ 2 is a real deal '53 les paul

All you said about I made the same expierences over 50 years of playing guitar. Now my favorite guitar is a Vandenberg 1 with one Dommenget Motherbucker 20 kohm pickup, 1 volume, 1 tone and 10 t0 46 strings, perhaps 9.5 to 44. Thanks and good luck /health!

Hey Jared ! Great tips :) May I add: 1. action height - too close might end up in outfretting and a higher action gives you better bends and sustain 2. pickup height: one should adjust it until overtones and harmonics really shine through 3. prefer a lower out put pickup rather than one that's too hot. You can always gain up, but a hot pickup might sound muddy/muffled when you want clean tones. Go Jared: you're the man ! \m/

I'm 54 and started playing in 1979, in this mentally-guitarded guitarcheopteryx* guitarcheologist's opinion🧐... Jared's playing has got 'Snakeskin Cowboy' and 'Stranglehold' entrenched in his timbre 'feel' & tonal palette, you would, fair dinkum, have to have half-a-dozen roo's loose in ya top paddock not to hear Nugent's fingerprints all over Nichols sound. I concur with ya FenderTeleDeluxe, bra.

Can’t understand why Gibson won’t throw on a set neck with Gibson headstock and call it a day. If I’m buying a signature model I don’t want it to be an epiphone when for an extra month of saving up I can get a Gibson!! Because well bottom line is it’s a Gibson and Gibson’s are the cool! Yet they insist on releasing signatures as epiphones.

why not just have a neck pickup as well if you want a neck pickup sound? It doesn't make any sense not to have one.

@Jacob22941 4 жыл бұрын

Theres a theory that one pickup will let the strings resonate more than 2 pickups, because of less magnetism to the strings. Who knows, but one pickup guitars always sound huge to me

@robertmay5091 4 жыл бұрын

Why have another pickup if just the one does everything you want with just two knobs? A tone knob is $15 bucks at the most. A good pickup is $75 bucks at least.
