An update from Yorkshire and a song from Scargill chapel
Thought I’d let you know how I’m getting on after switching from IT to music as a job. And included an old song from John Michael Talbot. It’s recorded in Scargill chapel. Hadn’t sung here for a very long time. I used to be on community there.

Finally put new strings on the Ovation - with a bit of Streets of London

I finally got round to putting new strings on my oldest guitar. I needed to play something to get everything settled and thought of this. Thanks to the amazing Ralph McTell for the song. I sometimes drop in other city or town names as it’s such a universal and timeless story. Life can be tough. Make it better for someone else if you can.

Thank you for a very interesting video, unboxing and critique - very helpful !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for posting this! I installed the same trem on a HB-35, and straight away ran into an issue - since the tremelo base is kinda floating above the guitar by 2mm (because the posts that you install into are not flash with the guitar), when I pressed it down too hard it seems to have maybe bend the posts forward a bit. Have you experience something like this?
I didn’t have this problem (and still don’t) but I have only had it on a ‘slab’ type body where the screw/posts can be screwed tight against the body. That was on the HB JA 60 and now still fitted to the Epi Firebird. I also don’t press very hard on it to be honest. Just a little gentle bend sometimes. Did you fit it with the washers? I guess they might be needed on the curved body of the HB-35 ?
Good stuff.
This is really well done nice vocal
Thanks :-)
I feel your pain. I know Fender made a buttercream strat and I was stuck for a while with close but not buttercream. I finally found the one that was the right color, got it from a second hand shop as well but its great.
Can you still fit it in the Harley Benton case, if you have one? Thanks for the tutorial!
It fits in a gig bag no problem. I twist/turn the arm to the back of the guitar.
The middle position sounds like a cheap humbucker pick-up.
Theres less noise with both pickups because the 2 single coils will be wired with one of them in reverse to "buck the hum" like a humbucker does. obviously its not as quiet as a humbucker because they are further apart.
Brilliant version,love your voice 🎸🎤👏👏
Thank you :-)
I have one of these and it just sat around in a closet because of a seriously deteriorated speaker. Mine is a 110v version, and I had it converted to 220v (now living in the PHL). I haven’t replaced the speaker yet, so I use the “line out” jack to run it into the effects return of my Orange amp… it sounds GREAT 👍🏻 I plan to replace the speaker with a Jensen 5”, but I will also modify it to mute the speaker when the line out is used.
Is it a good guitar for beginners?
I think they both are in this price range. The JA60 feels considerably lighter, which may be good for a beginner. But if you want the LP look the SC-500 is hard to beat. If your budget is higher though, do check out the Epiphone 'inspired by Gibson' models or the Squier CV range. They are a lot more money I know, but you do get a better guitar. Don't forget to get as good an amp as you can get. So spend at least the same amount on the amp, that's giving you as much of your sound as the guitar, if not more...
Thanks for this. I'm considering a trem for my Firebird and found your video. Have you gigged this yet? Does the trem arm spin back for when you put the guitar in a case or gigbag?
@@ryanalban glad you liked it :-) Yes, I’ve done at least 10 gigs with this and it’s great. No issues at all. And yes, I turn or spin the arm back before putting it in a padded gig bag. Fit’s just fine. You can see it in action here, skip a bit at the start to hear the guitar: czcams.com/video/YsHOZTgxMZg/video.htmlsi=SRrZFUwul0a8iJDy
I wonder if changing the bridge the other way round would have helped the intonation screw issue. Meaning that the screws would then be facing backwards (bridge saddle pieces would need to be flipped). Maybe less pull for the screws/saddle pieces into that direction?
I’ll try that next time I change the strings on it. It’s turning out to be pretty stable as it is to be honest. And its still a fun guitar to play :-)
Very cool. I dig it. The only drawback I can see, and this obviously doesn't apply to every player, is that the black fret dots might be hard to see while gigging in a dark setting. Why not pearloid dots to create more contrast?
I have this problem sometimes on one other guitar, black markings on a darker wood neck, is not easy to see in a low light situaiton.
Bought one off the back of this video

Hi, I’m Colin

I’m from the UK and now live in NL
Well done 👍
Allegedly R McT was intending it to be about Paris! Good stuff, hope you are keeping well.
I didn’t know that bit of history! I’m doing fine, I’ll be doing some kind of ‘update’ video soon on how things are going 6 months after quitting the day job to work on music/sound. I’ll keep you in suspense on that for now though :-)
I've owned (5) Gibson Les Paul's in my life, and every one of them I had to change the tuners (usually to Grover or Schaller tuners). So if you have a $200 LP w/tuners that work, that's worth the price of the whole thing!
Well, they do feel a bit cheap compared to some of my more expensive guitars. But having said that, they stay in tune fine for me.
I gig constantly, and I would be much more at peace using this guitar on the road, getting dinged, banged, scratched, etc., than if I had paid for a waaaayyyy over-priced Gibson LP; the white LP w/black pinstripe is the classic look of Mick Ronson w/Ziggy Stardust David Bowie! ✌
Exactly. This is why I often take one of my HB guitars to the local jam sessions. I’m not worried about something happening to it. And I’m fine if someone wants to try it out.
Wait I don't get it, is this guitar on video a good choice to buy or not?
@@r.fantomIn my opinion, at this price, yes it is.
The Colour i believe is called Butterscotch 😁
Great sound & atmosphere!!! Where is Watertoren??? Respect from Manchester in UK.
Thanks, it’s a very relaxed jam location, great vibe they have going. It’s located in the Netherlands just outside Utrecht. The name is from its old function as a water tower.
Klint goed. Jullie zijn welkom om een paar optredes te doen in ons hotel/bar in Frankrijk.
Bedankt Arnold, of het met deze band zou kunnen weet ik niet, dit was op een jam en ik weet niet of ik de bassist en gitarist mee zou krijgen, mijn zoon op drums wil wel :-) Als je serieus bent over optredens, laat me weten in een bericht of mail.

Well, it ain't Wembley all the time ! And out there the world appears to be free indeed still ! 😂 Good gig Colin !
Jet's are good guitars.
I agree!
Colin...I have the same CC67 in natural. Have lived it since I purchased it when I was 15. Just had the top 8 refretted, and fingerboard resurfaced...oh my, just like day 1. What a great workhorse of an instrument. Survived a fire that nearly took me. It has been a life-long companion. My first strap was also a rainbow strap too...lol! Many happy years to you sir.
Thanks for sharing that 🙂This is what I love about CZcams.
I take a bit of time to take the finish down on the gloss necks. No worries. Cheers
Fazley and jet are the same
They certainly seem similar build quality. I tried a Jet model a while back. It didn’t have the neck/bridge problem this guitar had though. Just the wrong colour (for me). And no P90 in that model.
Great indepth review buddy. SO close to ordering one of these either in white or srf green 💚. Where you from BTW... trying to figure out your accent.. 🤔
Glad you liked the video. Good luck if you order the guitar. I decided to send this one back after a few days thinking about it. That neck/bridge alignment issue bothered me too much :-) And there’s so many other good guitars out there now. I’m originally from up north in the UK, a mix of Merseyside and Yorkshire. But there will be some Dutch sounds and grammar sneaking in now as I’ve lived in NL so long.
@ColinLPrice ah cool. I'm from Merseyside originally. Yeah been looking at the harley benton and there's a brand called ANTIQUITY that are getting great reviews too
@@MJG817 Antiquity as from PMT I guess, the same as the East Coast brand from Andertons. I’m tempted by a vintage white Tele in their selection but hesitant due to the import taxes and hassle that’s now involved when ordering from the UK.
A roller bridge for another £16 or so would be a worthy upgrade surely?
Sure, but it also works fine for me like this. Check the size of the bridge posts to make sure it will fit.
Looks great! :) After one year, did you change the bridge to a roller bridge or is everything fine ? Do the strings break more often than before?
The trem has been swapped between this and another guitar with a regular tunomatic style bridge. And on both guitars I’ve had no problems with strings breaking at all. So while I get the idea a roller bridge should in theory be better, it just works fine like this. So I disagree with the folks who say you ‘need’ the roller bridge. I use the guitar a lot and enjoy taking it out to jam sessions to show you can have fun with a cheap guitar :-)
@@ColinLPrice great! Thanks for the answer:) I guess I will upgrade my HB JA 25th Firemist with this tremolo without the Roller Bridge:)
I like the D tuning, it sounds Jimmy Page. Martin looking head. Keep it!
Meh
I wish you'd be able to compare this cool Lespaul with a new Epiphone Lespaul custom inspired by Gibson thing though . . would be cool.
I’d predict the Epi will be far superior to the HB if my ‘inspired by Gibson’ Firebird is anything to go by. Better components, better neck, but at a higher price. If you can afford it I’d go for the Epiphone.
Southern Gents used the side of the house
Avec ce système de vibrato il est plus prudent d'installer un pont avec des rouleaux
Vous pouvez avoir raison. Je n'en ai pas mais cela semble bien fonctionner sur cette guitare et sur une autre guitare avec un chevalet tunomatic de style régulier. (I hope that's readable...)
@@ColinLPrice si cela ne vous occasionne aucun problème je suis heureux pour vous et je souhaites que vos coordes ne cassent jamais 😀
Can I control simple taskes like change the general volumen of the pc of scroll up or down inside programs? and how long did take you to but one?, because they don't have stock and I have to wait to them to buy one.
You can't use it for regular scrolling in a long document or as a general volume control. It's not built for that. But its great at adjusting a plugin or app parameter like the threshold on a compressor or x/y position of a video element. Just place the mouse/cursor on the thing you want to control and it just works, and with very fine control due to the size of the knob itself. I got mine second hand so I don't know what the regular order time is.
@@ColinLPrice Thank you so much.
I'd send it back. Neck is slightly misaligned, I don't like the sound of _that_ P90, the 6-saddle bridge would not suit me, prefer a traditional string-thru body with three intonated brass barrel saddles. You could slacken the neck screws and micro-adjust the angle of the neck to correct the string alignment, but I don't think it's worth the investment in fixing. And the body is too thin! Might be worth trying the HB Prince-style Tele clone?
The simple iPhone recording I made may not have done the pickup justice, I like it. And the top-loader style in general. I'm going to decide in the next couple of days if it will stay or not. I'm not keen on the colour scheme of that Prince HB model, but maybe the black Paisley one...
@@ColinLPrice Only suggested the Prince style model 'cos it has two strat-like single coils instead of tele-type. So a different character of tone.
The Teles from Bax are roughly 38mm thick, not the proper thickness, regardless of model or material. The "resetting" of the neck is probably going to fix the alignment issue, again most likely but since it is new, just send it back as you stated.
Dude, its so cool. Do not take it apart. Make a new one if you need to.
Really good job on the video thanks for the info. Just got my Epi Firebird from Sweetwater and was set up well; just need to radius the nut edges which are pretty sharp; and may switch to .009’s, which I put on all my guitars
Congratulations!
Seems satisfactory. I’d have to change the ugly knobs for top hats, lol. Thx for posting.
I understand but I quite like the tele-style knobs to be honest.
the real color is better then the one on the picture. Love the Bananacaster
It was a good guitar for sure. But just I’ve ordered a different model that I hope is the colour I wanted. Video to come on that one soon…
@@ColinLPrice thinking about ordering this one
The headstock is identical to the Gibson headstock after 2018
I didn’t know that, thanks!
Great vid! Maybe this is a stupid question, but If i where to buy a Thomann Jazzmaster DIY kit, would this tremolo also fit that guitar? I have a guitar build in mind that I really want to try my hands at. Having basically zero "luthier" experience this style of tremolo seems like the absolute perfect thing for me
I've not seen that kit in real life yet but looking at the info on the Thomann site I think it would fit. It looks like the same parts are used. Bear in mind the trem on it's own is the same price as the guitar kit :-) Good luck with the project though!
@@ColinLPrice Yeah that was I was thinking, they must be the same guitar right? Apart from the JA-60 actually being put together and painted etc. Is the JA-60 very poor quality or is it somewhat playable out of the box? I dont really have alot of experience with setups and stuff, but thats what I want to start learning on this kit!
@@MikaelKonradsson My ready built guitar is very good quality for the money it cost. It plays good, sounds good, looks good, stays in tune, is light, what's not to like :-) I've not got one of the kits (yet...) partly because I know the paint job on the factory finished guitars is very good (I've got a few HB's). And I'd never get near that quality of finish myself. But just putting it together, getting the truss rod, string height and intonation shouldn't be that hard. The HB guitars I have don't have the same quality of hardware as my Epiphone guitars, but they were about 3 times the price.
Hi Colin, I have just bought a second hand sunburst version. Just wondered what strings you use on yours? thanks
Good decision! Congratulations :-) I usually put D'Addario phosphor bronze on my acoustics. Gauge .012 - .053 works well for me. If I saw another one in that sunburst finish I'd be tempted to get it as a backup.
i have this exact guitar witch i found un used in an old café for a low price. it still had the protection stickers on the tuners. love it to see someone making a video about this guitar.
Glad you liked it :-) I’ll have to record a song on it soon.
Kool post. Did y’all wear those clothes to match your guitar?? 🎸. Next issue of Gentlemen’s Quarterly I suppose. Cheers Mate
I could have. But that would give the impression I prepare for my youtube video’s :-)
Just bought the exact same bananacaster!😄 looking forward to it, it looks and sounds great
Have fun! It’s a great guitar. I’ve just found a different make of guitar that might be ‘the one’. As soon as it’s in stock I’ll be ordering one.
I just ordered one, probably upgrade the pickups and pots
