Pretty much. We all know how Mimi got her following, and it's not her guitar playing.

I think she was running the camera most of the time.

Spot on. I hate to critique female players because a lot of people just assume it's sexism, but her playing really is below average. If a dude was to have the same level of playing as her no-one would watch his videos. Can't knock her for it because she's just playing to her advantage but it's just a bit sad that some genuinely amazing guitarists have less of a following than her

Stfu, you guys are the reason everyone slates the guitar community. It’s nice seeing a woman enjoy and interested in playing guitar. They’re good friends who like hanging out with each other! Leave her be. She’s a lot better than most.

@@Tele89 you’re subbed to her makes sense

Thank you so much mate, that means the world

Thanks a lot for the nice comment! Might be best to reach out to Wes or Tommy directly on Instagram for more up-to-date information, such an amazing shop 🎸🔥❤

Ive played a lot of oldies and modern ones, those good resonant modern ones will sound great as soon they start aging. There is no magic bullet, thats why a lot of those great artists ditched 50s guitars and used what the market was offering in the 60s and 70s. Lots of well know artists used Norlins too.

What is the difference? Specifically. Because if it’s that clear, surely Gibson would’ve done something to rectify it. I haven’t played a 50s Les Paul so I’m not doubting you. But bearing in mind there’s no magic involved, as such, what are the things that the new ones don’t have?

We didn’t see a Dumble 😬 that’s amazing! Back home in Sunny UK now 🇬🇧🎸

Doubles as a 100k microphone 🤪.... Strats suck only good for blues and pop music.

100% agree. It’s all hype. The only reason they are sought after is because our guitar heroes played them. Think about it, in the 60’s, when the rock gods were coming to be, these guitars were 10 years old and discounted, hence the reason they could afford them. Go find a used guitar that has the feel and bond with it. Make it your own and put the time in. In 50 years, people will want your guitar.

Yeah you can really hear the third of a million dollars come through when you pass it through a $100 Tubescreamer.

@@schuckstephenyeah but some of them rule dude. The best vintage example of a strat Ive played has bested the best custom shop ive played. Ofc ymmv and I am certainly not in the price bracket of affording a 50s/60s fender or gibson but I have played a bunch and the duds are duds but the finer examples can be remarkable. This isnt magic though, its the sum of its parts. Its empirically real that the usa in the 50/60s was riding high and domestic manufacturing and skilled labor was at a height itll never reach again. We have higher quality automized industry now and great homogeneity in marketplace consistency but that also levels out and decreases the likeliness of exemplar examples being produced by large companies. Perhaps a closer analogue is a clone from a master luthier who will be investing all their energy into the instrument and sourcing high quality components that were standard 60/70 years ago. Plus it was a new industry fueled by inspiration and a smaller pool of aggressive competition

@@schuckstephenit’s so hilarious that people pay thousands for stuff that was considered outdated junk by many mainstream player of the day. Pedals are even worse. I’ve seen ts-10 overdrives go for 1000$ when they are literally worth 40$.

@@ohpotatoesandmolasses Haha, totally. And to be clear for other folks in this thread, there's nothing wrong with old guitars. They definitely can feel and play differently. Old wood can look much cooler than new wood, I'm all for that 100%. But all of these channels where people 'oooh' and 'aaah' over the TONE, like it's some one-of-a-kind religious experience, is a bit silly. They probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a blind A/B test with a newer guitar.

How dare you 🤣🙌

Exactly...overrides the good

I want a Gibson BC if they’re making one 🙌🚀
