Notes from Richard Fortus:
We shot this in the old Lemp Brewery. A buddy of mine has a fantastic rehearsal studio and recording studio called Brewhouse Music Studios. The interesting thing about it is that it’s one of the most haunted spots in the country. It’s a massive brewery that was built in the 1860’s. The owner of the studio has loads of amazing stories and experiences the ghosts so regularly that it doesn’t really even phase him any more. There are huge caverns under the brewery. The caverns even contain a Roman swimming pool and a full nightclub that they used during prohibition.
I used 2 Supro amps for these videos. One is a 1x10 Comet and the other was a vintage ’63 Thunderbolt, but wasn’t called a Thunderbolt. It has tremolo and was a guitar amp (not bass). It’s one of my favorite Supro’s. I just split the signal and I’m running through both. Man, that little Comet is RIDICULOUS!!! I love that amp. Pure swampy mojo! At times, I also engaged a Supro Drive pedal.
I love these guitars. They have so much vibe to them! Super comfortable to play and they have such an incredibly unique tone.
These pickups also sound AMAZING for slide! Total Cooder tone. Super throaty when you roll the tone back. I love how responsive the pickups are. I’ve got a few old Valco made guitars that I use mainly for slide. I think that’s mainly due to the fact that the old ones sound and look fantastic but are nearly impossible to play! Thankfully, these new ones keep all the tone but are a pleasure to play!

the vista-tone sounds fab Richard.. haunting tones in a haunted place! ... great that you got to demo them in such a cool place in your hometown.. top Demo
Thank you for explaining that, what a nasty swamp tone and fantastic playing.
A huge part of that tone is playing two amps at once. don't expect that guitar to sound the same through one amp alone.
Richard Fortus nice bro
nice!!!! Your playing is awesome!!!!!!
Richard f***ing Fortus. What a great player! So much style.
Holy.... richard's variation of Knockin on Heaven's Door is the best!
That's because it's the Guns and Roses version, he played with that band.
Amazing guitar player
I picked up the Hampton...I think I need this one also!!!! Great Playing!! Great Demo!!!
Cool guitar, amazing playing!🎸
give this dude a shovel with strings on it and he wil make it sound like a '58 les paul
You can say that but I just got one of these on clearance from GC and it rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very amazing. What I am saying is this guitar sounds great when I play it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only problem I have with these new Supro models is I don't know which one to choose! I think they are all fantastic.
The Indonesian line with the foil pickups seem to be of better quality.
This is the Video that sold me on this guitar. Got one of these and I love it. Usually I am not a one pickup guy...But I Love this..Great Playing Great Demo Richard!!
Great guy - man he can play 🎸
awesome playing richard!
Richard is a super cool dude.. and a really rad guitar player!!
I love his playing so much!
Something I love about Supro amps, is that they sound raw as fuck
This may be the thickest tone I’ve literally ever heard
Sounds killer.
just ordered one . arriving 1/24 . waiting IS the hardest part .
Great Playing Richard!! Total Dig these Guitars....Just picked up the Hampton!....And Gang....Sam Ash is selling this one for $299......Grab one!
that tone is great !! smokin
Nice Demo. Richard fucking rocks.
Very tasty. I have a Black Holiday love the looks and swampy tones
Amazing
That very first riff in the beginning sounds like Free’s “The Stealer”
U sound so organic, love it !! Can't wait to see U at the Paris show tomorrow (07/07/17). Cheers !! :)
Dude. I got a 64 dual tone. . Dad bought it from loving spoonful
is that the blue supro OD pedal? sounds almost like fuzz
It good amp good tone
Woaw 00:07 I need that tab !!
The tone sounds good and the playing is great but the intonation seems off no doubt an inherent flaw of the bridge like the old Gibson wrap around bridges.
Fantastic grungy tone, can anyone tell me exactly which model amplifier is being used?
the Supro on the left of the video (richard's right) is an older vintage and I'm thinking it has a 15". the one on the right in this video is a 1610 RT Comet with a 10".
Thank you! I think I need one of those Comets in my life.
the Comet in on the right channel with an AEA R88. the older Supro is in the left channel with a R122 w Khan pre. there is a room mic (TLM 103) about 15-18 ft in front of him (out of any of the shots) and I'm pretty sure that has an equal dose of the room mic in both channels but much much lesser amount than the close mics.
One of the best grungy swamp tones I've ever heard, fantastic.
How baked is homie right here lol. Great playing though.
What pedal did he use?
This bad boy come in any other colors?
ok,whats the price ? :)
It's a single coil? It's as big as a humbucker.
isnt that Izzy Stradlin'?
Cornelius Loewenstein nop
Richard slays here and makes it sound killer but listen close. When it breaks up (either guitar or amp) it's still muddy enough (ie: unclear, undefined) to me to keep me and my money elsewhere. To each their own of course. Just not for me for that reason...other Supro videos sound very similar or worse. Richard makes it shine of course, as much as it can.
It has a mahogany back, but I'm not allowed to show that to you.
SMOKIN PLAYER
Normally play more modern looking guitars but this thing looks sweet. I was all in until I saw it was made in China. Bummer.
if Trent Reznor and Rod Stewart met in a mexican plastic surgery clinic.
Hahaha!!! Right on!
wtf is a 50's wiring? treble bleed? the original ones were made in the 60's btw, and the reissue is nothing like the original. completely different construction and sound. to be fair, the new one is not really a bad guitar...
Don't like guns and roses but this guys amazing
Nice save Richard! czcams.com/video/YWiZUQUE1OQ/video.htmlm28s
typical rock guitarist
sounds "plasticary" to me... good but plasticary. wood has soul.
Guitar kinda outta tune by the end... But licks are still sleek!
Put a fellow with lots of tattoo and actually speaks and talks with good diction, people starts believing he is a great guitar player.
Fucking hell I hate people like you who think everyone except you is a sheep
You don’t get a gig playing for Guns & Roses by accident...You think you could hang with Richard??? I doubt it...
He is a talented player with chops but also feel. Yeah he does sound like a pretty intelligent, articulate guy - - Hmmm... Maybe he actually is! Don't let the tats throw ya!
