Is Vintage Gear Worth The Money? A Look at Gibson, Fender & PRS

hey everybody I'm Rick piatto I'm Repsol davon righto so today we're gonna talk about is vintage gear worth the money so I have a 1965 I guess right they've SG that I bought from Dave right and this is an amazingly great guitar it plays incredibly well and I would just saw you with Dave about why it plays well in Dave says one of the reasons is go ahead Dave you tell this guitar has a stop modification where they took off the original tremolo system and put a stop tail piece on it and where they put it is actually a little farther back than where it would normally normally would be about you know a reissue would be like up in here closer than the less right yeah and you can look at the difference between the Les Paul in that he's different yeah and the difference it's a little further back my feeling is that it actually changes the tension that strings a little bit and this guitar plays really well yeah and it's it the strings feel really loose it's so easy to play and it's really loud as far as acoustically - yeah I think with the less severe down break it's got a little bit more - ring here this is way lower in pitch because there's more distance here right than that so there's almost more like a jazz master and oh yeah it's almost like a trap piece tailpiece or Jazz Master almost kind of but it still doesn't have the studs in the body so you got a lot more sustain with it you know it takes away from the vintage value of it from originality standpoint but as far as a player and everything else it's actually better in my opinion okay so these all three of these guitars are my guitars and yeah we would say these are vintage guitars this is a 57 country-western yeah this is a 1990 that's vintage right at this point it is the 1990 Les Paul Custom it's exactly all desire I realize that the only vintage guitars I own are Gibson vintage guitars I don't know why I have paint and a beautiful most beautiful PRS right here but it's brand-new yeah and pretty much all my other guitars not all of them I have a my got your gills my McGill doesn't this is from the 70s but and my my tele is you know 20 years old I mean some of the other things you know westballz got the early 80s aria her yes but for the most part these are really the oldest yeah these these three are problem these are the oldest guitars now are they worth it now talk about the wood in the guitar Dave your this just to talk about what you're saying this is one one thing and there's a lot of debate about wood and guitars go ahead they've yeah well they're Reds favorites okay yes my personal opinion after owning thousands of vintage guitars not just Gibson's Fender scratches you name it Martin's to me that the 50s 40s 50s and 60s guitars sonically overall no not all of them but sonically to me ring better have much louder volume to them to even tend to be more stable and neck wise and I really think it's because the wood that they were pulling from was was at least at that time you think 40s and 50s where was it from well it depended on where they were getting okay what it was but like the mahogany was was Honduras typically the maple was kind of from all over but typically it was from North America Canada - also evany all of these woods were all hundred to maybe 200 years old when they cut them in the 40s and 50s yeah so now that these guitars are even you know 50 60 years old now we're talking that the wood in the guitars could possibly be as old as 200 years plus okay so I've noticed that this guitar is the loudest electric guitar that I have buy by a mile acoustic acoustic it is incredibly it's incredibly loud it vibrates the whole guitar vibrates and I think because of drying out the wood dries out same thing with this guitar yeah people that have heard this and that have watched my acoustic guitar video everybody said how did you Mike big guitar I said I use the mic that we're using it's five feet six feet away yeah this guitar [Applause] yeah it's rocket our infants very light yes oh that's great it's very well balanced yeah know what kind of mahogany would that be there this is Honduras just like that same guys and as with the customs yes but to play devil's advocate advocate here we can all agree that those characteristics make a great guitar right it projects it resonates usually it's a lightweight those characteristics are not unique to vintage and knows they're know so that's the question is it worth now these are all you know not crazy money super high-end collectible you know these are pretty much all player grade right yeah I mean yeah yeah what I think kind of getting at here it's like when you start getting into the bursts and you start shooting into the early 50s stuff where you're you're six close to six figures and above yeah yeah personally and now I've had very limited experience playing guitars of that price range but I have yet to play one that blew me away the closest thing was actually made a video about it was a 1963 35 yeah right that's kaga music exchange was it an actual one you're saying yeah yeah yeah yeah cuz we should talk about the custom shop and the reissues versus awesome but here's a real 1960 natural finish had a 345 fretboard on it had a had a big gorgeous guitar sounded and played incredible and they were asking like the seventy five five for it which is expensive that's kind of kind of expensive now when I went to the PRS factory they Paul part of their process of making the Attar's drying out the wood they put it in these kilns for long periods of time and they measure the amount of moisture that's coming from the guitars and this is how they age the wood and they he is incredibly knowledgeable about this stuff and I saw on Tim Pierce's channel they compared that 59 Les Paul with Paul's that single cut and they sounded you know it was 98 per yeah yeah very very close and actually so speaking of Paul Reed Smith I actually met him this past weekend he came here to righteous guitars and did a talk and he brought something up that I had never thought about before in it I've been thinking about it since and he was talking about pickups when when he said this but you know people love to you know what what is a 59 PAF cost now like three four thousand bucks black bobbin one a normal one it's about how about $2,000 $2,500 apiece right and and what like a sixty-three strat pickup probably maybe five six on the wrongs okay so a piece he used the example of wind cries Mary which i think is Hendrix's best song overall and some of the best tone yes Hendrix ever got was yeah and cars Mary yes that was that is where he's playing on the neck too and what he's playing here's the thing that was recorded at the time with a brand new guitar and a brand new amplifier yeah yeah right we think of it now today I've always thought of as like oh yeah as a vintage stroud of course it's not or vintage plexi or whatever it's like no that was off-the-shelf brand-new yeah 68 yeah all those old records of you know playing brand new instruments pretty much host then and that's CBS era fender which is a collector's world people like love to you know stick their noses up back yeah you figure out the time when he cut that strats we're only 15 years old yeah right so so what what you was at 67 67 67 68 all right and CBS took over in 65 yeah late 64 early 6 Bobby oh yeah so again to me that's the kind of thing where it's like okay is the vintage thing worth it I mean sure if your collector and you like owning all this stuff it is a player which I am I'm not a collector and I'm taking the stuff out on the road and actually using it I'm much more interested in how does it feel and how does it sound the the characteristics that we talk about I have a couple of brand new guitars that do that thing they ring like a bell they resonate and they weren't fifty thousand dollars right right you know I I think partly the the vintage the whole finished thing why I got started originally was guys in 70s started buying brand new love poles and strats of the day so like in 75 76 77 you go and buy a new strat you pull it off the wall and you go well this doesn't play or sound or feel like these are this is the worst error of both companies right so what you have to do what you have to realize is the entire vintage market pretty much was based in the 70s from the very late 60s on so those generation of guys knew they went insane well that's not the same guitar that I've like my brother has or when I played why so I'm gonna go buy an old one because at the time they were cheaper oh my god you buy them for you and and you were like horrible so everybody went out that started to grow and everyone okay you got to buy an old one because those are the good yeah of course not all of those were good either but they were better than your typical stuff that was on the wall at the time how much could you buy a 50 s Les Paul for in in 1975 late mid 70 probably mid 70s I remember my dad selling some we had a 58 that we sold in 1984 $3,500 at $4,000 mid 70s it would have been probably 2 to 2500 so I adjusted for inflation today that's what probably 8 to 10 grand something like that's cheap yeah yeah yeah that's not good I mean that's what you would pay for a custom shop 59 today yeah yeah right of course but those guitars now that same burst that well yeah that would be it would be probably on the low side maybe 3 2300 high side half-a-million so and I could tell you from experience it was a great guitar but it wasn't that great you know it was it was a really nice guitar but it was not you know I mean I love vintage stuff but as far as the prices to me a half million dollars for any kind of guitar I don't care who it is yeah it is it's what you're paying for is it the market now is strictly either people who have a lot of money and I'm not saying this is a bad thing if you have a lot of money you want to go buy guitars I encourage it you could buy a whole lot worse things with your looking but a lot of the high-end market is pushed by look what I got right you know or the real showman has actually made the the guitar market go up and down I really use purchased over the last month on his Instagram I did notice yeah he's bought a lot of really great hey dude I'll give it to Neil he buys the best of the best of everything hit that I've seen him I was dead mitt or like I've been a mean but way I've been wanting to ask Dave that if he's been following meals of you saying oh my god yeah it's goodbye it's amazing guitars the last couple this must be 30 guitars evite so yeah and they're all just amazing it means you know you know it okay that's the one example I could go okay he deserves it because you know when you're like right okay horse but but as far as the vintage market it started as that so it was a lack of good guitars right now you can get great guitars you can get great cheap guitars right I mean your favorite guitar half the time is the Dan of it you right mmm-hmm what does that say that says that the technology has gotten to a point where we yes we can make really great stuff actually fairly cheaply the or it says that you can get used to anything really well there's a great guitar yeah that's you know that Les Paul over there yeah that's what 600 bucks some brand new yeah I mean yeah so that okay yes the difference is is the wood in those guitars that great no but that does there any wooden that down like the wood bridge or know that we didn't have to agree or does it I can tell it okay but it's so good yeah it's the neck is wood yeah it's a mate I think it's a maple neck okay but like you're saying right it's it's cut to the point where you could totally get a loud guitar now you can you know this so I think more now it's it's the look what cool thing I've got okay so so honest when I take this any PRS that I've got and I take it out of the case and it plays incredibly well it's made unbelievably well yeah it all's always made great stuff always hide stuff I've had set for his since 82 nothing will need to get repaired on this for you it'll never it'll need a fret job maybe if you play like Dave in 15 years and if I'm playing it yeah you'll never need it it'll never need a fret job yeah all right yeah yeah I got it we're gonna trash you I have the touch of a blacksmith yes so I will never need a fret I think I've an ask Dave how many fret jobs I've had a temper I think - I've done - absolutely it's our for 40 years send it straight the two guitars every fretted have nowhere whatsoever oh man after a couple of years so if you buy a new guitar like this a PRS you know if you spent the money this guitars is honestly it's worth more than its really worth more than them those Gibson's it's worth probably what my SG is worth no it's probably worth more than I know it's actually more money now yeah more money than my SG I mean I don't know how much that guitar is worth right there with this one it's been modified a little bit so it's already finish and stuff but I mean this is still I would say 3035 dollar guitar giving not counting in the factor of the tonal properties of this but yeah you know if this was on the wall I've been it store to be 3,500 bucks yeah now so it's worth 10,000 right it's one of those right so then you have to factor in what is the tone and the playability give you a 27:54 right yeah see I will always spend the money 30 bucks to me it's worth spending them the extra money for something that sounds good if I think I can make money from it meaning if whether it's gigging or if I'm a you know producing bands if I if I there's a 72 plexi that was at a store today so I text Davis what do you think Dave is this worth you know 2,300 bucks or whatever Dave's like not aluminum truck aluminum front I don't know I don't I don't know how much is worth Dave was like eighteen nineteen hundred that's it yeah and and and I was like it sounds great though and it's in really good condition he goes well but that's just it's not worth that much and so I didn't I did preface though I said if it really sounds that good then you have to figure in the factor now I did not buy it I don't obviously need any amps but in my mind I thought well I could probably sell a couple things and and if I want to get that but is it is it worth the extra pay in an extra four hundred dollars for something if it sounds good and the problem now is you cannot play through things that that white Les Paul Custom was in a shop here in town big house guitars and I got to play it now I have not bought one I do I did buy one I bought a 74 and it came and the headstock was broken on it and I sent it back and that's my only time I tried to buy a guitar Les Paul through the mail like that that I've saw on reverb and that was my experience so I would never buy another guitar like that so then you're basically stuck going to stores and we just don't have the stores around here you have to go to Nashville essentially or LA for a vintage stuff yeah just a few stores but it's fun and a nice white custom anywhere is kind of tough so yeah it's there you know okay so so the the availability of these things to actually play if you're gonna buy something vintage you're probably not you know half the time you're not gonna get to play it right right and you're just buying it and that's the thing as well because it's old doesn't mean that it's good right it's not like every 50s through 1960 Les Paul was a ringer no they made no I played really beautiful ones that were not great guitars like just feeling and and sounding and that's the thing man I just feel like nowadays you know I say this a lot I feel like we live in the Golden Age of gear when it comes to guitar I mean the amps the the new guitars you know the Battle of settles the gear everything we it's there's so many different ways to come at this instrument now yeah as a player like from that perspective you know as the youngest one here in someone who doesn't own any vintage stuff and quite frankly can't afford any of the vintage stuff that I would want to own not even close I just don't know that it's worth it man because the reality is if I you know if I went out and got a 52 black art telly would love to own one of those but one of those 50 upwards of 40 or 50 now 50 to 60 to 70 for a really nice dude if I bought a 52 black art la for $50,000 that thing is never leaving the house it's gonna stay at home it locked away in some safe right and at that point like why even have it dad I guess I mean really that's the thing when you talk about what you're the term player grade when you when people say player grade that means you can actually bring it to a gig yeah it means it's it's a desert that I mean it's an original guitar that was modified enough to where it affected the value at least half of what it's probably worth it was it was mint condition yeah there's very grades of it but that's what a player grade is okay so when I met Peter Frampton and interviewed him I walked into his studio Nashville and he handed me his black Les Paul and I just stunned and I played it for a second and it played it really well it was very easy to play at a very thin neck it was a 54 but had been modded they had shaved the neck down so much that it played like in 1960 yeah Les Paul which is I think why bought the JJ Cal one after he lost that one yeah he has small hands and yeah so this is what he sat with when I interviewed him and he took it home with him he packed it up put in his car and left that's the guitar he plays you know that's his guitar his guitar I saw him across roads and he and Clapton played together cross yeah it's for apparently the first time ever yes yes yeah yeah that was I played my guitar gently weeps and he had the Les Paul and and that was all there was my dad and and me yeah I an out though yeah but you were not anyways it was your backstage hanging out like and we were out in the in the crowd but it was one of those moments that was like we're witness no I was actually out in front with you guys when he was playing with DES he was very humbled cuz cuz he's dude he started crying on say he's 69 a Peter Frampton 69 Eric Clapton is 74 sir five years apart but Eric Clapton was a massively big influence on Peter he Peter told me during the interview and Peter consciously made a decision to not go in the Clapton direct because everyone was imitating Clapton at that time in London in the in the 60s but when I was backstage I was there with our friend Peter Stroud who's a new plays with Sheryl Crow and he's a great guitar player and his and he knows a ton about amps oh yeah isn't his neck and he's and we saw Peters rig back there and I said you think that's the he's I said what what is that marshall he said that's early 70s i said is that the one you think he might have played on that comes alive Berger this probably is well they had the drum kit from the comes alive record yeah I found that yeah yeah I have an eBay apparently well I didn't think about it I mean Frampton you know he bought all that stuff when it was new yeah there again if or he either water or very opposed to new or given imminent yeah um you figure humble pie it was bright it was all late 60s early 70s yeah that Les Paul Custom he got given given to him and that guitar was a heavily modified heavily rock it had original p90s originally in it to pick up it what got rabbit for three humbuckers the the headstock has been I think broken once at one point it went through the fire it's later grade yeah it's totally a player variant if that guitar was just hanging on the wall and had no history people would go okay so here comes back to what I was trying to say it's that the dollar figure is a is attached to the cool factor yeah that's what you're paying for and a lot of this vintage stuff I'm not saying that's bad I'm just saying daddy's a bigot that's a big part well and I think this then becomes a case for the boutique builders out there and the custom shops out there Fender Gibson whoever because in the boutique world you have people that are building incredibly nice instruments of all different stripes whether it be you know fenders Gibson's or unique things and then the Custom Shop stuff mine you have a you have a custom shop 335 others are beautiful yeah but nominally well and you know Dave will tell you about the color Anika's he actually at the Antigua bursar David Berst Dave's the only person that knows this stuff that I'm not the only person does but I noticed it right when you got it oh you got the Argentine Myers yeah it rolls it out and I look at I go oh it's Argentine gray which is a color that was only oh I thought it was a sunburst yeah well you said well oh no it's the back I'm like no this is Argentine gray and it what it is there's a lack of any red in it so it goes from natural to black yeah and in 59 and 60 they made a handful of these guitars in this color and they're extremely rare now and actually bus semana just bought one a real mint one and they weren't floating around for a long time and people didn't like them I remember like in the mid night they didn't like him because why they just weren't a popular color and in 3:35 notice the checkering on that is amazing checking yeah yeah this is all checking yes and that's that's all I'm thinking razors blade yeah it's razor blade induced and stuff but um is it really yeah it's one person literally with a race yeah you sit there and you do lines and yeah but this color like if this okay this is an original guitar yeah in this condition you're talking probably you know forty to fifty probably it front of color if it was really right maybe maybe a little less but you know for a really nice one an incredibly well well-made yutori yes and that I probably worth what like six of seven for the custom shotgun really loud yes nice the neck is very similar easy to play yeah this is this is a really well vote guitar I actually have the exact same one day they gave me to take on yeah Black Keys sorts right the same same burst everything and it plays amazing yet but the custom buckers that they have in there fantastic yeah and to me so this is that's the question like is is it worth you know let's let's just say for the sake of argument that guitar is 75% as good as the real one I think it's 99 it's 95% right yeah it's right better than the real one but I can tell you from the aspect of the three things that I noticed off the back from owning originals and working on these guitars the neck angle is correct on this a lot of the 50s ones were shallow and in 50 59 the very early ones most of them don't play that good because they've got a really shallow neck angle and the bridges shower you have to take this bridge and get it all the way down to the top of the guitar just to get the action down and it's still not right mmm perfect example right there that guitar wasn't built right from the beginning okay so the first year 58 you know if you know what you're looking at you're gonna be like well the first thing you do is you look at a 58 go well how's the neck angle on if you know the guitars will because it's not gonna be it's not saying that the guitars of Baggot arts just saying structurally it was a brand of guitar they had just debuted it and they didn't work the bugs out so the early ones a lot of very early ones have fairly shallow who told them that that this wasn't right David the players back probably players or maybe the guys on the line that start figuring out that this wasn't right yeah you know so they you know change the heel design and got the neck higher up to get a better pitch yeah so you know once you buy a brand new one like this you never have to worry about that right it's already been done yeah Gibson's reverse engineered all this stuff for years yeah so from a building standpoint you know this is actually better than a real 58 in that aspect yeah okay so it's things like that that a lot of people don't realize too you know obviously a lot of guys do deal in vintage but you know your your average bars might not know that and you'll go and play guitar and you'll be like well why you know why is this one cheaper than normal like why is this 58 cheaper than this 59 well because that one has a shallow neck angle right it's things like that but you kind of have to interesting you know figure out work or get schooled on so you know so anytime somebody calls me ask you about buying vintage guitars you know and I say well don't just buy any one because they're all like you said there's hit and miss they're not all great they're not you know and just like anything else they had to work out bugs and a lot of their guitars so in the vintage ones ok those guitars float around and there are a lot of money now what they have problems with ok so one thing I never hear about anymore is vintage cuddles rarely you know people don't really buy vintage pedals anymore not not very often certain certain design only guys I know or guys who have studios who basically this point like well I've always wanted a real univibe or I've always yeah yeah and they've got the money there I think such buzzes of still a thing yeah sure yeah like original univibe Zaza's for sure like a lot of the Early's petals you can't get the resistors for anymore right well that's why I bought that tone bender yeah because it's got the real components and yeah new old stock stuff that you can't get anymore anyway it's expensive but yeah it's it's you know you're right because pedal design nowadays I think outside of like the fuzz world and even some fusses I think are just better designed they sound better they're more reliable they're they're smaller they're smaller that's the other thing they're easier to power they're easier to live with I mean it's it's just one of those things where and this is kind of like that PRS model right where it's like every year they're striving to make the guitars the pedals or whatever they're doing better than the year before and that's why I going back to the idea of like the Golden Age of gear man like it's there's some really really good stuff out there that's accessible for a lot of people ok another another case in point I have a lot of BAE 1073 mic priests I've got 10 73 as I get the 10:30 Tuesday 1066 is the 1032 is a 10 73 mic pre with an expanded mid mid range and BAE which is pretty a British audio engineering makes exact Neve copies they're they're identical and they sound phenomenal and they don't to buy a vintage Neve would be to me just a waste of money there's no point in buying it but you know that just to say hey I've got a Neve yeah I mean at this point that's really what yeah you look at the caps that you know most of these things need to have it have the capacitors cab jobs and and that's gonna totally change the sound exactly and what the records that you heard the stuff on the things were new when they made it's the same it always goes back to that it was to take yesterday it's like yeah that's a yeah and the components the tolerance it's like in this it's just way with amps - with vintage amps it's like you know tweed Deluxe's or whatever I mean they all sounded different because the tolerances and the components were so very wide varied yes like you could take the same you capacitor and it would have what like a fender I think what they use up to like 15% ferrets yeah variants I can tell you all of like with my 58 deluxe the original one if I change one thing and adding up it completely throws the amp into a whole new so it's yeah it's very very particular and and so but the variances were very great so I have this interesting I think about this a lot too and and you know with all the gear nowadays especially like the boutique gear and and I think about this in terms of amps a lot what stuff this made today and it's easily accessible that in 2025 years it's gonna be highly sought-after maybe not you know 59 Les Paul prices but stuff that people are gonna want to get their hands on because they knew this era of this thing was like you you already see it now with like Samson era matchless amps like the early 90s man yes yeah the people are really after those and those prices are of course that was saying honestly that was that way 10 years ago even for that era of the right what what what my question is what of today will be like that like what should we be trying to get our hands on today I have one idea but I'm interested to so what I think is actually the stuff that will be worth money is stuff that's it'll basically based on the rarity of the piece the lineage of the piece who made it or who is using it and whether or not it sounds really good and whether it's pretty readily available even if it's rare there'll be a time period world it'll be people go like oh I can still get one of those really yeah and then that's when everything goes through the roof after people start realizing there's only a hundred pieces but there's 500 people that wanted so so I mean it could be a 2019 McCarty 594 that that's the year that very well because I have this guitar and I'm playing it and and well it's actually not gonna be me cuz nobody's really gonna care what I played maybe something like a red because he's playing playing it but that someone well-known at the time or maybe somebody that maybe a guitar that John Mayer his his silver sky may be the one that one five years from now oh my god the first year silver sky was a 2018 what hits that's super Eagle appear as super you'll those already like people bought them and immediately resold them for way more than what they paid for because of the rarity rarity limited numbers mayor was playing them and they were a super super late I think they only did like two runs of yep like yeah thanks a couple hundred yeah yeah I think for me one of the ones that sticks out are divided by 13 amps because I think they tick all those boxes that you were talking ability to come on out of his basically his garage and in California insanely well made amplifiers I think Park is the same way yeah burn Mitch will be yeah yeah it's like where you have just the one person doing it they sound and they're amazingly well built they sound amazing you know I mean these are heirloom pieces of gear these these are stuff that are gonna have last song yeah and stuff like this you know you're not gonna see those amps go down in price because two reasons they are really built insanely great so those amps could never be touted as well they had you know they were bad girl no no they are there to great beautifully yes and the tone of those amps I've yet to hear one that was house is fantastic yeah so those are pretty much the guarantee I mean honestly I was thinking about this when we were setting up the only amps that are new really behind me are is the high watt that's a new amp and it sounds killer because I'm fifty two custom twenty this back here yeah the the bad cat which is a great amp is it cool and the park but that's it assuming the part of the you had the park already play something new like new yeah not vintage but Plex is a reissue def plexi yeah but that Plex these 15 years old 20 years old or something right so maybe yeah probably of the orange rocker verb to his eyes as that's ebh head that's a that's a blast from 2005 yeah okay alright I mean those are different operative already gone through yet double versions on this trip yeah that dual rectifier many versions yes you know that that the boxes or I've got I've got one that I definitely want to add to the list because it's something that I just basically tried and was blown away by oh yeah this is Ronnie what's going on yeah no not joking I have one of these as well they ate that won't by the way this is 21 hand yeah deluxe reverb that that's a solid-state amp that all three of us so like right like yes I'm gonna eat crow even though I've got blues juniors I've got 20 new fender amps um you know I definitely was suspect okay this is gonna be so I was - yeah and for what it does for the features that it has the weight the looks this amp is if if companies keep doing this well tell me what it is though it's a solid state a solid state new deluxe reverb this completely digital with no tubes has a DI out on the back the I out with an out in it which I just found out tonight it's too bad it's not quieter you know you can see the red says there's an attenuator on it somewhere on the back I didn't look at the B no tubes and that chassis whatsoever it sounds great and I gotta tell you this is if companies just keep doing this and keep doing it right the vintage market is gonna be in serious trouble because yeah this amp even while I think it's a little expensive for what it is it's I think it could come down a price just a little bit this amp I can't knock it because it does everything pretty much a black Deluxe does it's like a ninety five percenter okay yeah if this were six hundred and fifty dollars if they could get it down to that yeah you could yeah so okay they they sent me one they reached out to me a few weeks ago via email and I will I will admit I will also eat crow they're like hey would you and I would you like one of the new tone master ones and I said no because it was I had stigmas a solid state I get it its price it's gonna be a modeling whatever they sent it to me anyways and I plugged it up and we were talking before we went on this is not like a sponsored video no I did one of these I was looking at buying a deluxe reverb today and I was looking at this or the tube version of this the dr ri3 issue i would buy this yes so i was thinking the same thing i I said today was like read this a mother someone yes sounds amazing I couldn't believe it sounded way too good yeah yeah and you cannot you can knock this down to like a court half of why yeah playing in your bedroom and like crank it and it's like man it really like would record great yeah it's very it's great with pedals I'm sure that's really good what else dude it's a gigging it well it you could totally go I would keep with the sample right it weighs nothing no you can take a DI out on the back if you've got singers that complain about stage volume yeah you can knock it down to half a watt and it's it looks cool it looks like it does it's real you get to the electric score you know what that is that's the Tesla amps right there yeah anyway that's a it's an electric car that they may look cool that people would actually want to drive that looks like a real deluxe it does yeah and people actually want what I want people to do I want people to go out and play this amp and I want to put in the comments in this video go play this Sam I want to see what people really think of this amp because I everybody that I know that's heard one of these so far and they've all been pro players all have said the same thing like man I don't want to like that amp but that's an amazing amp for the money and I yeah you can't I really didn't want to like it either I said I hope this doesn't sound good oh so so Fender you're you're on the right track with this and hopefully a lot of the other digital companies will will follow now do tweed one next yeah smoker or a super yes and Marshall make a yes breakup like this yeah box make an AC 30 Megan AC 30 wake up take take the cue because this honestly is the future of amps that aren't boutique high-end dollar amps right yeah and again this this doesn't sound better known any of the boutique stone now what I what we're talking about it's like you need an app to play your bar gig with your wedding gig with run need an amp to take the rehearsal that you're gonna be lugging around and beating the crap out of ya leave your nice stuff at home yeah that's that's a take it on the road not have to worry about tubes fail dude yeah not the weight alone put this I mean you keep these are so light you could take two of these on the road and put them in one case yeah I'm taking mine tomorrow we're going out for four shows absolutely I'm just gonna take it and go right here I want all I really want to hear what it yeah that's because it's especially in it loves pedals man it really loves photos so it's it's hard to I like I said I hate to say it but it's like I said if they keep doing this stuff right yeah vintage stuff screaming yeah that's all great and fine but the reality of this I can take this to a bar or club never worry about it and honestly if it blows up it's a Bic lighter I'll go get another one no it's not okay so so we want to hear your thoughts if there's any vintage gear out there that
