Yup, just like the GG models, it's too-pricey for me.
well, although I have basswood axes in the past, it's just not my body wood tonality of choice. If it's for him, fine by me.
Not really, you'd have more than that just in parts before you opened a box. Not to mention you can't get anything close to that neck joint. Everything is very expensive now. Anyone thinking you can build a high end parts guitar for less than about $1700 when you consider time and expertise of the builder hasn't really done it or they are cutting some big corners. That experience costs money and I had to built a few before I was even decent at it.
C’mon, be fair. Basswood is a serious upgrade from balsa.
Well of course. It’s no different from influencers online. Product placement in movies, or back in the day artists being endorsed. Whomever has following, gets deals. I see it as no different. You get a lot of subscribers to your channel, you get things. Ola, anyone.
Been thinking about this lately. For some reason i really can't take these youtube shredders seriously vs actual guitarists in bands.
Well if you think about it, its the same as some of the old shredders that used to be in guitar world or Guitar for the Practicing Musician. They showed up basically as session musicians or they put out some obscure guitar album. It's really no difference than guys like Frank Gambale, Tony McAlpine, etc etc. Monster players but most people would be hard pressed to name a song they were on.
They still had a band and actually released music compared to a lot of youtube slingers that do mostly gear reviews etc.
