Proof Guitars Aren't As Good As They Used To Be

[nightlight]

It just seems like such a sweeping statement. The "proof" seems quite dubious. Sure, it may hold true for Gibsons, but I hear Fenders are still knocking it out of the park without spending an arm and a leg.

I have played some of the ESP Ltds, and they are amazing guitars. Same goes for budget Ibanezes.

Granted, they are not the best of materials, but if they can keep the intonation right and you have good pups in them, they sound good enough for the stage. I've seen a lot of bands playing them, and I don't have any complaints about the tone.

This dude can't play and his opinions are trash. He's a veteran? Big woop, that doesn't automatically earn a single shred of respect.

Of course he has a Kiesel sig. 'Influencers' make more money than real musicians these days, and he partnered with a brand as trash as he is.

All his videos have retarded clickbait trash titles.

Phil spends a ton of his own money to bring HIS OPINION to musicians for free.
Why would anyone have a problem with that.

Fixed for accuracy.

It's just more youtube clickbait trash. 30 minutes to make a point that could be summed up in one minute or less.

there ae many channels like that. a topic that can be summarized in 5 minutes or under, and the YT vid is 10+ minutes. SMH.

The gear videos I dislike are demos of a guitar or an amp; then they quickly add pedals, effects, post-processing, IRs, etc., so you never really get a chance to hear the item that is supposedly being demonstrated.

NOBODY ASKED FOR THE FAKE SPAM-BOT HOMO'S TO SHOW UP.

Stop linking crappy clickbait videos and it won't be a problem.

My attention span can’t bear an over explained clickbait video, dude does look like uncooked dough, appreciate his time, & service to make these videos because manufacturers do suck these days. Majority of things do post covid… Fenders the only one doing shit right in their overpriced custom shop, Gibson needs to take notes but still looks the sexiest, Santana’s cool, my tech can’t play a lick to save his life but is a damn Wizard when it comes to luthier & set up work. @nightlight you need a tinfoil hat bro but I lowkey believe you.. @DanTravis62 you should absolutely get a Tama you deserve it. @rsm it’s never too late to pick up the sax again & you should have channeled your inner babe Ruth / sent that MF’er into another dimension. @shar-vell Dan idk what you’ve done, but I’ll pray for you…….
Lastly you guys should volunteer at the suicide hotline if you support decreasing world population. You’d all do a killer job.

If you're going to choose a piece of signature gear, why the fuck would you choose a McKnight guitar? I mean, I don't even want a JEL guitar, even though they look pretty cool. What sane musician would buy this?
