guitar comparison

Back


a few clips of me playing an Epiphone Elitist Casino, a limited edition Epi John Lennon 1965 Casino and a 6 year old Rickenbacker 330 with vintage 7.4k toaster pickups. Some Beatles, Smiths (some girls), Simon and Garfunkel. Played through a Mesa Lonestar special. Overdrive is a tubescreamer (the drive is probably set too high)

It's called back to the old house by the smiths. The ric came with hi-gain pickups. I fitted the vintage pickups myself

On the let it be vid I think Lennon played the rhythm riff at the 5th fret and I think GH played it open. I wasn't sure who did the G-D turnaround.

I have 2 squires. A mid 80s japanese squire strat that I've had since new and a very recent indonesian squire custom tele with P90s that I bought second hand. IMO the pickups on the strat were really bad and eventually fell apart. It currently has custom shop 69 pickups on it and quality pots, switches and wiring and it sounds/plays really good. Build and finish aren't as good as a US strat but it's a guitar I'd never sell...

...The squire tele I only bought for the pickguard as I wanted to butcher a US tele and make it into a 72 custom with P90s but I'm that impressed with the squire that I've left it as it is. I did swap the stock pickups for Gibson P90s but it hasn't made that much difference so I may put the stock pickups back in. The switches, pots and wiring definately need replacing as the original is quite poor quality
