Here is a vlog of me checking out the Ochanomizu guitar street in Tokyo Japan but the second part. Footage is better because I had learned some stuff. I wanted a part 2 for this video because otherwise it would be too long. Anyway, there are a lot of awesome gibsons, fenders, Ibanez, a Marilyn Munroe guitar, Tim Henson signature and all that. The Ochanomizu guitar street is amazing and I highly recommend checking it out.

I wish that I could show you the pictures of the ESP's I saw in Frankfurt, but they're fotos on paper and I don't have a scanner at the moment, maybe I can find the reaper carved V ESP online, with the coffin flightcase, I'll try to do that, when I've got some more time to do so.🤘😎🤘 ;o) 🐅

    I upgraded one. the playability is great so I replaced the tuners and bridge pickup. big difference. The nut is a cheap piece of plastic with deep grooves which stuck a lot. some sort of nut lubrication helped with that, but still not as nice as a higher quality guitar. I paid $50 for the guitar and another $150 on parts and now take it to every show as a backup guitar. If someone steals it from the bar, I"m only out $200.

  • @wyattsdad8561
    @wyattsdad8561 Před měsícem

    I have one of these guitars with those crappy tuners. Here’s the deal- Modern sealed gear tuners use a 10 mm hole. Those sh!t tuners we had use a 8mm hole, which are considered a vintage style tuner. Vintage 8mm tuners use a (push in style bushing). Modern 10mm tuners have a nut and washer. There seems to be only the two sizes too. It’s either a 10mm hole or an 8mm hole. If you follow this rule of thumb there will be no surprises when you go to swap tuners. I bought Gotoh vintage style locking tuners for mine. They dropped right in the original bushings. Gotoh even gives you a special little punch tool to remove your old bushings if you want to change them. If reading this, follow what I’m saying and you won’t have to ream the holes. Order the correct size tuner for your headstock. Again, it’s either a modern 10mm or a vintage 8mm. The Gotoh locking tuners I bought on Amazon were only 50 dollars. I bought the vintage style locking tuners for my telecaster too. They both look exactly like old school tuners. There is no thumb screws in the back of the tuner. The mechanism they use is quite clever the way they designed it. I also recommend getting a digital veneer caliper if your going to do your own guitar work. It’s super easy and handy to use. Get one on Amazon for like 25 or 30 dollars. Okay good luck everyone 👌

But, I'm glad my husband did a video of opening it. We'll wait for the refund and then I'll get it straight from GoPro for same price. I think it's horrible that people can do this to someone else. Usually Amazon is pretty good but we've found buying electronics is sketchy...we buy our android phones from Amazon and the one I got for myself didn't have a phone in the box. Empty. Couldn't do a return with an empty box so I had to call them to work it out. They did give me a refund. Just never know with electronics...they must have a massive theft problem at their warehouses?

    I'm not toxic, fuck you. No, but really, I've nearly completely disengaged with any group that is gear-related, regardless of which type of gear. Camera groups, guitaaaaaar groups, etc. So many toxic people in gear groups, and so much brand dick-riding that it's amazing.

    next time one of my friends say they "need" a new guitar I'll send them this (I have this model too, my only complain is the tuning stability, I'll probably change to better tuners soon)

      I would say if you want a lighter guitar, it would make sense. This thing is back breaking. I really should do a new epiphone video.

      @@IgorGabriel-uo7jj I jammed with it one night and as much as it’s fun to play, I definitely prefer the weight of my Strandberg or Solar. Either way, Les Paul shapes look great. There’s a Gibson I’d love to have.

    Reminds me of the time I went looking for my guitar with an income tax return. Picked out an 09 Schecter C-1 diamond series. Got it 10 years ago.

      @@BrianBower indeed. It's my first and only guitar. It was amusingly enough before Best Buy pulled the plug on selling instruments. I still remember looking at was like which one. I pulled it off its hanger and it felt like the one. It was marked down for clearance to $160. The guy marked it even further down, to $150 because it didn't have a box. Later found out it was a $650. Nearly sold it with an amp I got then later sold. Sad part was that I was motivated to learn. Until one day at work cleaning up after a mechanic. He left brake fluid all over the apron outside his bay. Had to mop it up with concrete cleaner. The mop kept breaking and had to fix it. It stripped the calluses off my left hand. Caused the strings to burn my finger tips, just touching the strings. Amusingly enough the mechanic was a drummer.

      Ohh yeah and there are so many guitar stores. One I didn’t get to film was G Club close this. You’re not allowed to film. It was a really cool store too.
