Soldano Astro 20 Demo - Got a chance to rock with my Fender Player II Modified HSS Strat & Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s - Videos

[HowieJams]

I had a chance to rock out with my Soldano Astro 20 today using both my Fender Player II Modified HSS Stratocaster and my Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s.
I put it on the Highest Gain Red Galaxy (basically a SLO sound), cranked the gain and let it rip (at low volume of course).

These vids are unrehearsed, I just throw on a backing track and go for it.

I was curious how the Fender Player II Modified HSS Strat would sound compared to the Gibson using the Humbucker Bridge Pickup.
They both sounded pretty good to me.

Truth be told, if I am going to rock I am always going to grab my Gibsons over my Fenders, but if I am going for Blues I will probably choose my Fenders first.

However, both guitars can do either style well, you can't go wrong with either one.
Keep in mind, I am using a $1079 Fender and a $2799 Gibson, I think the Fender holds its own at any price.

I did 3 Videos in the rock genre and I will post them here.
I also did 4 Blues Videos using my Strat, one video for each of the 4 galaxies of the Soldano Astro 20.
You can find them on my YouTube channel if you are interested.

If you want me to post them in this Thread let me know and I will be glad to post them in later posts of this Thread.
I just want to post the rock part in the initial thread.

Thanks, I have so many Grunt Style T-Shirts, I had to give away about 40 of them, I outgrew them and had to move up a size, don't know if the gym is working or I am just getting fat, lol.
