Reminds me a lot of the Fender Starcaster (which funnily enough was Fender's failed attempt at making a competitor to the ES-335 in the 70s)
I know the guitar you're referring to. But, Fender has put that "Starcaster" label on a bunch of crap models ..and low end Strat type guitars it gets confusing when people bring them up. There is even a Squier Starcaster witch is actually pretty playable. The real oddball was the one sold at Target and Wallmart with a triangle headstock for ... if I'm remembering right $169.00.
I owned the starcaster reissue for a bit and it was fun but too big and heavy.
I swear I played a cheap Starcaster branded acoustic.
The original Starcaster was a fair instrument but, as others have noted, too heavy.
@@KaosII1968squier currently sells a starcaster reissue and it’s a hollow body.
Have owned a JV60 for 3 years now, far and away my favourite guitar. I ended up swapping out the standard pickups for Fishman Fluence Classics and replaced the tone knob with another Push/Push to access all 3 voices (at the sacrifice of the 12dB boost 💔) and I've been really happy with it!
I own two Godin SD guitars which I payed $500 for both. They are the ultimate Fender Gibson hybrid.
EVH opened my eyes to how good MM guitars sound. Sterling has impressed me as well for the most part.
But he used an old PAF.
@@MrJohnnyDistortion Pickups don’t do a whole lot when you’re playing distorted. I’m sure he sounded the same with whatever pickups came stock on the MM.
Hey Mike, long time Bigsby user here. When restringing a bigsby, bend the tip of the string that goes on the little pointy bits at the back 180 degrees so it makes a semi circle and points back forward towards the neck. It will make restringing it a breeze :)
I love a single coil in the bridge and a humbucker in the neck. My first experience was a 72 reissue Tele Custom, then I found the G&L Bluesboy. Keep up the good work and sometimes you just need to go Ham on the vibrato.
My favorite set us as well.
Exquisite tone, love your work.
Dude. I love you man. You hilariously have the same musings and thoughts that I also go through at a guitarist- also mainly a church player these days. Keep it rockin
Love this playing. So very tasteful and super tones
The PRS Vela has quickly become my jack-of-all-trades guitar-a Dynasonic-inspired single-coil in the neck, a Filter'tron-inspired humbucker in the bridge, and a scale length right between Fender's and Gibson's at 25". It does virtually everything well, looks and feels great, and was just over half the cost of my other guitars. Seems like you've found that in the Valentine sig 😊
The G&L Fallout is another great "one-and-done" guitar to check out!
I've never played a Vela, but I've always wanted to. It does truly seem like a "one and done" guitar.
My #1 guitar that I use for almost everything is a HSS strat. It's 2010 American Deluxe strat that I've put Lindy Fralin pickups in, instead of the Noiseless ones it came with.
I had a Valentine and G&L Fallout..sold both after getting a Vela
I bought a semi hollow vela, 6 months ago. Now my favorite guitar.
There's not many PRS guitar models you can go wrong with on picking up. PRS builds some sweet guitars, no doubt. How about those "Les-O-Caster" guitars? jk Blah,ha,ha!!! All BS aside, IDK how far this guitar builder is close to market this guitar. But, last year my buddy Mark who's Joe Walsh's guitar tech showed me this new mod guitar the builders gave to Joe. It's a pretty crazy idea they've got, yet very innovative at the same time. The mod wheel they came up with relates to this one guitar model they built that can create multiple guitar tone sounds of many different brands of guitars. So, if anyone's curious guitar enthusiast, check out this cool mod guitar built by "JKR Custom Guitars." When they do come to market the price is certainly out of my league unless I hit the lottery soon? The ballpark figure is gonna be around $6 to $7 G's. Even still, this mod wheel's worth a look if your interested. +Peace, Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Souls My Friends+
I’m sorry but music man is super underrated there Genius guitar builders very high Quality. I like to think of prs as the modern equivalent to Gibson and music man as the modern equivalent to fender. Both great companies that deserve a lot of credit.
Cool! I got a Valentine BFR last year, and absolutely love it. Everyone who plays it seems to as well.
I would only need one guitar… A Strat.
Trust me that’s how it’s starts… especially regarding strats you can never have enough of those
Same.I have two guitars and they’re both strats
i was fully expecting this video to be about the strat-o-sonic but this is a very refreshing change of pace haha
MIKEEE you’re the goat I just recently started watching you and I’m addicted to your vids
This is a good take, got me wondering too about what guitar or two would I take on tour haha
I like it! I myself prefer to have a single coil in the bridge and humbucker in the neck. If a bridge humbucker isn't clear/bright and has a honky, nasally midrange I'll throw in a humbucker-sized single coil. I like having more potential brightness than I need on one end and more warmth than I need on the other so I can cover more territory. Other guitarists I speak to are usually surprised at that.
I have a MM valentine In the natural finish. Found it used on reverb and it’s truly one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
Go HAM Mike, We're here for it!
I could play live with just one guitar, and I used to when I played in bands. I've had a Schecter Omen 6 since 2010 and it was my main gigging and recording guitar for years. Since then, it's undergone major surgery, only keeping a couple original parts. 24 frets, double humbucker with individual coil splits, hard tail so I can keep it in tune, feels amazing to play after the professional setup, that's really all I could ever need from a 6 string electric guitar. I do have a custom Warmoth build, an Epiphone Les Paul Special II, and a Schecter 8 string though. But if it came down to it, that's the guitar, even though I didn't like it for so many years but couldn't get rid of it because I'd already started modding it so it was worthless to anyone else so I just made the best of it and it's a great guitar now.
It's questions like these that remind me I'm always the odd man out when it comes to gear. The two guitars I'd choose are the two I own and have used for gigs for over a decade. My 94 MIM Strat and my Fender Sonoran SCE. Haven't played a show yet where I couldn't make either guitar sound like they needed to for a song.
Hey man just wanted to say that I love the quality of your vids, never fails to entertain me.
I REEEALLLYYY WANT ONE OF THESEEE!!
Great video, buddy!
@5:50 lol okay, so show it to us. We are literally watching you on CZcams 😂
Hybrid guitars are fun. I have a Fender with 2 P90s, a stop tailpiece and the Gibson scale length.
I just bought this guitar. I noticed that the slit for the 3 way switch wasnt painted on the inside, so you can see a bit bare wood and rough overspray. Switch and pots are the cheapest made, cavity is a mess of wires. Tone knob fell off after some playing, and saw some corrosion on the inside of the knob. Volume knob was installed too low and made a slight indent in the body from activating the boost.
I'm also just nitpicking, I expect little things like this on an import. This guitar is a beast, I'd recommend it. The neck has a very nice depth, and I lucked out with a ton of birdseye on my fingerboard. The pickups also sound really good, no need to upgrade them
My two favourites: SG and Tele.
I have the original one in a gold sparkle and it is amazing. It honestly plays so smooth and promotes creativity. The fact that it has so many tonal variations is insane on top of the gold sparkle. I also happen to be a huge fan of flame on guitar and that neck 🥵
The flame neck is why I bought mine aswell. Nothing compares to it. Smooth as anything, too.
@@RByrne Good Taste Sir *tips cap*
Fender already made a guitar that is a combination of an ES 335 and a Telecaster. It was the 1972 Fender Thin Line Telecaster. The body is chambered with an F hole on the left side of the body like that one and it came with 2 humbuckers. They're light and easy to play.
Nice! I seriously read the thumbnail and thought “great” another squier stratosonic video.
I have G.A.S. now, thanks, Mike. My wife's gonna kill me, I just picked up an SG standard this month, lol.
I have an Edge Pro tremolo in my Ibanez RG (Ibanez’s version of a Floyd Rose) that I blocked because I don’t enjoy it, but I have a Gretsch Brian Setzer Hotrod with a Bigsby that I absolutely love, especially with ambient styles and swells in a church setting
4:30 I gotta have my flutters!!! 😂
This is one guitar of everything, it's a tele, junior, ES335 and gretsch. The only thing that makes it a Musicman is only the headstock.
I was going to get an Ibanez RG Prestige with an Edge trem, but I've always liked the look and subtle functionality of Bigsby's. You'll definitely get a bump-up in quality with a USA Music Man, but they don't offer a guitar in this configuration right now, so it's kind of its own thing...
This one is on my watchlist, I'll buy it one day, for sure
I’ve been wanting to try this guitar out for awhile
You should look into the Squier Paranormal Strat-o-sonic, combo between a Les Paul and a strat with a 24.75 scale length. Great content tho, great videos!
I love these videos!
This is downright nice compared to a 1970s Starcaster (well, those are desirable now too, thanks to bands using them as working tools.) Good coverage!
Mike, speaking of signature guitars, and since you're a strat guy...what do you think about the Lincoln Brewster signature fender strat? I feel like it has some of the uniqueness and intentionality that you respect when seen in a signature model
I'd love you to showcase what you play at the church!
I saw Steve Howe (of Yes) in the '70's and to his left he had a guitar pit with 30 various stringed instruments, yet he only played 2 or 3 all night long.
My two would be a strat and an SG jr. I just built a guitar that combines both. Semihollow hardtail strat with a single P90. It's perfect
Nice to hear that your playing at church! Which church do you go to?
Peace Winnie
One guitar: Kramer Striker QuadRail + DTuna + Hot Rails
Second guitar: Fender Stratocaster + DTuna + 3 Killswitches for each pickup
Ya know....I thought I had every guitar I would even want then you show me this and I'm like "whoa, so cool...."
Maroon 5 are way of my radar but Valentine seems to be a cool guy. I think the ideas in his guitars are well thought out out and would be interested to try one. After, I don't listen to a lot of Les Paul but have owned his signature guitar for over 30 years!
I think I want one now!
Never even heard of this guitar. I usually like strats or superstrats. You should really try a superstrat like a Jackson Soloist or something and see how you like playing with the Floyd Rose trem!
I got a John Petrucci signature from Sterling with a Floyd Rose and I absolutely abuse that thing! The JP’s are some of the best super strats money can buy.
i’d prolly grab an explorer for a nice fat humbucker sound (it’s my favorite humbucker guitar lol), and probably a super strat for more virtuoso stuff (preferably a floyd rose and 24 frets). yes i’m a metallica fan, how’d you guess?
the valentine signature is one of my favorite gutars ever...
How do you feel about the sterling guitar quality? Fit and finish good? Been looking at them.
Reminds me of a Coronado but more practical
I use no wigglestix. Ever.
Even on my Gretsch, I point it toward the end pin.
In fact, I can only think of one term arm (and I have several Strats), and it’s located in a parts bin.
I bought hight model and sold it. It was the best guitar I ever played.
The handle is incredibly comfortable 25/20
The microphones in all their configurations, truly exceptional, terrific.
I just bought it again because I find it perfect.
I don't like MusicMan body shapes, am I too old to appreciate them?
This shape suits me very well.
My 2 favorite guitars of all time are a Les Paul standard and a Les Paul Custom. Oh, styles you meant! Les Paul and tele...
You are a man of God, that's so cool. Love your videos my friend.
James Valentine is a supreme player; very understated, a bit like George Harrison was. The Valentine guitar is seriously in my list of future guitars.
Strat and an SG, though I will miss my Dano and 335...
I didn’t think I was a trem abuser until I got a hardtail that couldn’t do it. A lot of phrasing choices had to change because of that.
Hey Mike! I actually have had this exact same problem (going on the road, but you can only take two guitars INCLUDING ACOUSTIC) and I came to a totally different conclusion, and I’d like to hear your take on it. I actually bought a 1967 Teisco/Silvertone ET-460/K4L for a touring worship internship for about $500, and it fills the single coil + humbucker style gap nicely. The four single coil pickups can actually double up to create both a neck and bridge humbucker pickup configuration, and it comes stock with Teisco’s version of a Bigsby from the 60s. What’re your thoughts on a guitar like this?
(Love the tones you’re getting from the JV60 though, and those features may get stolen for the purposes of including them into my next guitar project)

Dudes whatever floats your boat. We have our favorites of course it comes down to what we can afford. Sterling and G&L makes good guitars for the money. Have fun 😎👍💯🎸🎸. Dont forget about building your own 👍💯🎸🎸)
I have been thinking about a Music man Sabre.
The thing that frustrates me is the Sterling version has a completely different neck profile and width than the EBMM version. I fell in love with the Sterling version and wanted to upgrade to the real deal, but my hands are too big for the super narrow neck on the EBMM version.
If EBMM released a Valentine with a wider nut width, I'd pay them all of money.
I would take one of Trey Anastasio's Languedoc guitars, if all options available and money is no object.
Darn it! You gonna make me buy another guitar...
i've had several different guitars. Went on an expensive PRS rabbit hole. After 2 years and a bunch of money I realized I'm a Gibson / Marshall guy. So now all my guitars are Gibson. I have at least one of all the current Gibson styles. LP, SG, EX, FB, & 335. If I had to pick 2? The 1st one is easy. My LP Custom R9. My next favorite is my Explorer, but if I had to only have 2 to do everything then I'd probably take the Firebird V.
i have the trem for when i need it and only when.
Dude i have a floyd rose and i go hard on that thang
If I can have my dream pedal board. I’m just taking a strat and an acoustic
Behold, the Fibson
Two guitars? Do they have to be existing production guitars? In that case, my two guitars would be either two Ibanez RG9PB or two Caparison Apple Horn 8 guitars. All tonal variety that you'd get from fancy electronics can be somewhat emulated in your playing or in the rest of your gear.
Stratocaster and Ibanez gem
i had 17 guitars and then i got a valentine, i started to think about selling some off as i was really only using the valentine and a couple others. fast forward maybe a year and i got a couple other guitars, one of them being a prs studio. that week i sold off 10 guitars and the following months i sold off everything except three. valentine, prs studio and a silver sky. with these i can do anything.
in saying this i want one of these new semi hollow but hardtail valentines. SO GOOD
i swapped out the stock pickups in my valentine for a set of beefy p90's, still retained the db boost which was great, if the sterling version had a coil split like the usa version i would keep a HB in the bridge.
the best part of the velentine, the angled body, its super comfy as there isnt just a thick slab under your arm (which is why i dislike les pauls)
Two favourite guitars of all time?
Mine, and future-mine 😅
I thought the video is gonna about the new squier stratosonic lol
Gibson neck plus fender tone
Squier strat-o-sonic
Did this guy just imply that his favourite band is Coldplay? Lol
If you like this you should play a Steve Morse Signature
I'm not even gonna comment. I've played a les paul, strat, explorer, and many acoustic guitars. And my favorite is still a budget fixed bridge ibanez...
Lol I though your were gonna talk about squier paranormal
I used the trem system on my strat so much that the wammy bar snapped in half. Half of it is stuck in the bridge.
The specs seem weird to me on paper, but the tone don’t lie!
The average non-musical audience member can't tell the difference between guitar tones. Tone only matters to us. One guitar (maybe +1 for a backup) and some pedals is all you actually need.
Two guitars?
I'd take a Westone Spectrum III (HSH, coil split and phase switch giving 13 different voicings).
The other guitar would get left at home.
Suhr Classic & Ibanez AZ 🎸
As long as I can coil split the humbuckers, I just want a Les Paul.
Alright, in answer to your questions: This guitar and James Valentine are great. Personally, I am not a massive Bigsby fan. If I'm going to have a trem, I prefer a floating Strat trem. But I have the same problem as you have, and occasionally need to relegate myself to playing a Tele in order to get myself out of the habit of grabbing the bar every time I hold a chord or note
Bro impossible question. I play a lot of stuff, from technical death/black metal, over hardcore punk and wave up to blues, jazz and acoustic stuff. I have around 30 guitars for each genre & their subgenres 😅 but in the end of the day we all came to the point that you can use a Les Paul or a telecaster/strat for nearly everything, so I also would pick one of these I guess… but maybe more like one from ESP/ltd, cause I made the experience that Gibson & fender aint the real deal these days. Some good Japanese/korean stuff from the 80‘s will made a better job. So I send my wife to you when she ask why I need another one, thanks for that. My first video from you just found today & love your vibe! I just follow metal guitar dudes till now, so never had a touch with maroon 5 or their guitar player
I would bring my Fender Baja Telecaster shell pink special edition custom shop design
Hey Mike - do you get a fee for playing the regular church gigs or are they all voluntary? BTW that JV60 sounds lovely 😎
That would be a PRS.
My favorite band is going to bring me on tour? That’s freaking awesome! Also… you should probably miss those shows. It’s… well… they’re not going to be great… 🤷🏼♂️
Casey haha b roll
tbh i would bring my gibson les paul tribute and a Kramer
If you're in a cover band, you need a half dozen guitars to get all those sounds. If you're doing your own thing, one guitar will do just fine (see Trey Anastasio).
