Today, my old buddy Austin Skinner takes the helm of the show. While we were in Las Vegas doing a 7-night residency, Skinner filmed on the street, on the stage, and backstage during our time there. I hope you enjoy it as we talk about everything from parts guitars, parts coupling, neck pockets, using the UA Dream 65 modeler, pre-gig warm-up, and my recently acquired 53 Tele-style guitar.
Gear used:
Mirage comp, XTS re-housed Mostortion, XTS modified GE-7, Mad Prof Deep Blue Delay, UA Dream 65, and Walrus Audio Canvas interface.
1953 Telecaster built by my old college buddy, B. Paisley, using a mix of old and new parts. Ron Ellis 52T and Standard Plus pickups

Zac’s Tele wisdom is unsurpassed; much can be learned from this man if you will listen closely! Does a mighty fine interview as well ! 💪🎸
Looks like you're having a blast in Vegas Zac! Congrats on bonding with the new Danocaster. Thanks for the road edition video.
I love the 9.5 Daddario set too. It’s not “balanced tension” but it does have some tiny adjustments. The rhythm sounds are tough enough and the high strings are pliable.
WOW, all this absolutely, terrific, wonderful, enthralling guitar information is “music to our ears”.
This is a wonderful episode, all of you episodes are wonderful, but this is a guitar-heads dream😊
Good job Zac. Per usual, pleanty of sound advice (pun intended 😊) as well as simple explanations based on 30+ years of experience. There's a reason we haven't seen the "Ask a kid at Guitar Center" channel. LOL. Speaking of Vegas... There are two things I would safely bet on. The sun coming up tomorrow and the next episode of Ask Zac having some information I can use!!! Win win!
Thank you, Jim
You can take the boy outta Nashville but you can’t take the Nashville outta the boy . Biscuits and gravy.
It’s fun watching you walk around my town. You gigging here now? You’re here for some lovely weather 😘
Hey Zac, regarding the arthritis in your thumb joint: if you cut cow's milk out of your diet, the pain should go away, and the joint heal after a few weeks. As we get older, our bodies are less able to process things like cow's milk, and the toxins in milk products can build up in joints, or at sites of old injuries. Switch to plant based milks for a while and see what happens.
Take a walk with Zak, very cool video!
Doinkieness indeed. Thanks, Zac. I had a 68 les paul with the nylon saddles. It was wonderful.
Very cool!
Great Zac. I love this format. I’ve always enjoyed your “on the road” issues.
This is Awesome!! You need to take us on a Nashville tour sometime. Your picken is just getting more and more Amazing. I hope we lose you to going on the rd. full time 🎸 🎶 ❤️
I should do a Nashville walk around
Love watching these ‘out and about’ videos 🙂
Glad you like them!
Love this. Your new found career as a vlogger. Food Network and CNBC is calling 🙌
Thanks. It's fun to do something different.
Loved this one Zac ❤️👍
👍🎸
Look like a fun trip!
I have noticed that amp modelers like the Dream 65 and my TC electronic combo deluxe 65 ampworx are both brighter than the Strymon Iridium. The 65 dream is even brighter than the TC electronic combo deluxe 65 ampworx. That's why I have preferred the TC electronic combo deluxe 65 ampworx over the dream 65 and its half the price. The strymon and the TC electronic modelers handle overdrive better than the dream 65 in my opinion. The reverb on the TC Electronic modeler is fantastic.
Wow that Framus is pretty!
Great analysis Mr Z! About the comments re heavy t bridges: I sold a Crook Paisley with the 6 screw Callaham bridge. Beautifully made instrument but that bridge along with the neck inserts changes what I like to hear in a T. Again to each his own! Notice your Paisley doesn’t have that bridge BTW. Keep up the great work!
I love scones, Zac! I mentioned that once to a co-worker from the U.K. and she asked if I'd ever had scones with clotted cream and jam. She brought me some the next day. Heaven.
Oh yeah, and the guitar parts were cool.
You have a Risky Business vibe with the Ray Bans
I was just in Vegas the last week. I guess I have a few places to check out next time I go. Huh…
This is a VERY informative video!! Thank you Zac!
My pleasure!
I keep a Boss GE7 right in front of my Dream 65, output at unity gain, I barely cut a touch of 1.6 & 3.2, and I roll off a lot of 100.
Man what a fun trip!
It really was. Let's do it again!
Just a thought but maybe invest in one of those muffler/wind socks that you see on boom mics that should help with the wind and background noise a little. Not sure how youre recording sound on these. But love tue format of these vids. 10/10 on theory 7.5/10 for execution lol. Love your stuff mate! Cheers from the UK!
Cool video!
Thanks!
The less an instrument needs input from the player, the less it is theirs. The term "fundamental" actually takes out the "fun". The "fun" is in controlling the harmonic 'trash" made audible by either component qualities - OR system qualities (i.e. a "fuzz" pedal).
‘Doinkiness’ for the win !
love seeing sonic rodeo on here!
Love the info and the “man on the street” vibe but the wind noise is crazy. Tried to listen while folding laundry in the next room (because life) and couldn’t catch a word of the cheap hardware section. But yes, I’m going to sit quiet and listen now. 😅
Sorry about that
Zac, Nice change of pace, Good to se you out and about.... I think you need a more directional mic, the background noise is very distracting. But regardless I enjoyed this one....Thanks
Noted!
I never quite understood why Keith, Brent Mason, et all used heavy bridges on Teles. The crappy Tele bridge is so essential to the sound.
Guitar teachers should learn/teach pre jam stretches, especially for the left hand or neck/fret hand.
There is an impedance to sound wave transfer from one medium to another as in neck to body. These are the two major components supporting string vibration. The goal is to diminish the loss of energy from the string which transfers energy generated by the player while contributing to vibrating.
Need to get Zac a lapel mic so”he isn’t buried in the mix” 😂
The ambiance noise is pretty loud.
I understood him and I’m pretty deaf
Haint been to Vegas for 30 years. Looks to have become a cartoon city....
Little breezy out there , huh
Your comments on body weight tell me that weight relief is less about tone than the overly weighty build. There needs to be a "standardized" way to assess resonant quality of finished instrument and assign appropriate levels of that metric to the components which affect the overall quality the most..
After swapping out a guitar's body, neck, and pickups over time, is the guitar still considered the original guitar?
I have a 2010 Squier Affinity Tele, Butterscotch Blonde. The nut width is 40mm and I want to replace the neck that has a nut width of 43mm.
Sounds more like Trigger’s broom, with all that swapping out.
When were you in Vegas.... Hopefully you weren't there when I was cause I be bummed if I missed ya...
Is Cowtown guitars still around? The original owner played for Bob Seager.
Nope. Gone
How different is the Ron Ellis 50B from the 52T?
52T is more steel guitar, 50B has a bit more of a gainy quality. Both can work for most things I would do
You REALLY need to invest in a lav mic!!!
Great stuff though... I just wish it wasn't so difficult to hear.
I had the mic, I needed a longer cable. Next time
@AskZac A cardioid or super cardioid lav would be best but even a more common omni lav would really help a lot. I nearly clicked away when watching this but the content was really good so I suffered through. I'm guessing you may have lost some people so I hope you can sort it out if you do this kind of thing again, which you should... it's a cool concept doing the location thing.
My town! I'd love to get your eyes and hands on my axes. Haven't met a tech that I can really trust to do no harm perhaps you know a guy?
Sorry to say it, but there is too much wind and traffic noise in this episode. Love ya, mean it.
I love the content, but cannot listen to the environmental delivery!
Sorry! I will bring a lapel mic and long cable on my next trip out there
