I got one of these used at a pawn shop. It had Seymour Duncans with a coil split on it and was in great shape, dirty, but still in great shape. By God's grace, I haggled their 399 asking price down to 300! Great guitar at a killer price!
1:47
"Let's tune it up, shall we?".
*Rest of video is Fluff tuning it*
hands down my favourite demo of yours so far
I love ur videos cause when u do demos u do mostly chords so we can really hear the tone of the guitar which is great I hate demo vids that are all solos cant tell really what the body of the guitar sounds like.and u do cleans and distortion.love ur videos fluff great job on the demo thank you.
599$ sounds great for that guitar, but ..WTF, it`s 899€ in Europe....that's 1060$..I mean really?! Damn...
Same with the JPs. In the US they are about 600$ or something, in germany 999€. Fuck this shit.
Korean made guitars are basically the workhorses of guitars today. They are made well in most cases, sound great and are more affordable than their American and Japanese made counterparts.
But the non OEM hardware, wood of good quality and construction by trained luthiers (at least in the case of world musical instruments) are not cheap.
But Korean made guitars have been known to equal American and Japanese production guitars in all the right places.
+Phil Duggan And what is the connection to my comment? I don't want to start with that discussion MiK, MiC, MiJ, MiA, what is better, etc.
I just mentioned the huge price difference for the same product.
(I know the distributor get their piece of the cake, but nearly 500$ more is unjustified...)
Lukas K You forget importing to different countries can cost more depending on customs tax and the VAT of the country. But this is a common this, american brands charge more here than others a good example is mesa a dual rec new is close to 3000 now it is less in the states howevee Diezel amps are alot cheaper here than they are in the states. it can depend on the manufacturer and distributor
[I own 2 Boogies, so yes I know that. But they ship them right from the US to Europe and the Distributors have to pay for everything. The Shipping, the guarantee, etc. Mesa does nothing, after it left the states, so offcourse someone has to pay that...]
But if the guitar is made in Korea, they could just send them directly to the distributors, without extra vat. Anyways...the guitar might be worth 599$ but you could get more guitar for 899€ (new and offcourse more used).
BTW a Fender Strat, Tele, etc. (Mex, US or J.) costs nearly the same everywhere on the world, so it is possible...without 45% price difference.
Great video. Beautiful guitar....
I hope they gave YOU this guitar...YOU earned it Brother!!!! Damn Nice Demo and as Always...Your playing is Awesome!!
Get this bearded man to 200k subs!
i love your videosss 🤙🏻
I feel this guitar is perfect for a set of Fishman classic humbuckers. Same with the Ernie ball model. Just the vibe the guitar gives off to me.
love you bro
I plan to play metal on this
I bet this thing would be great for metal! That single coil bridge pickup (modeled after a tele pickup) would (should) sound amazing with high gain saturation.
Intonation sounds off to me but other than that not bad! Probably does handle metal well.
US$599 for that?!? That's amazing sound too! Nice playing Fluff!
Got one used for $299 almost 5 years ago. Put a jb in the bridge. It rips.
I'm glad it just has "Valentine" on the headstock instead of his full name.
Holy crap when you were playing the lead part I thought you had a stab sample being automated or something .That was weird, but awesome.
Is there a gun oil finish on the back of the neck like the MM JV?
Those are some pretty good metal chugs for a non metal machine.
any review of Superior Drummer 3 coming our way??? I'm definitely thinking of cross-grading
I can tell you, straight-up SD3 sounds better, in every way. Whether you're using the kits that come with it, or using SD2 or EZ2 expansions, everything just sounds so much better!
kyle grossi got perfect drums yesterday, its great aswell!
do it, it's amazing
Can't really hear the sound of the guitar when it's not played through a Blackstar amp :-(
hey fluff have you tried Superior Drummer 3 yet?
I'd drop some Fluences in it. Presto. Metal machine
Wdyt about this guitar in term of quality? Is it on par with MIM Fender? On verge between this vs MIM Fender or Squier Tele with humbucker single coil configuration.
If you haven’t made a choice yet, go Sterling. The necks are superior feeling IMO and the quality is surprisingly on par or better than MIM Fenders. I own both the EBMM and Sterling versions and I can say the EBMM is still there - maybe not exactly the same but for the price they’re at, it’s hard to beat. And EBMM inspects all Sterlings that come in before going out to dealers so there’s an added level of QC there. If they discover a guitar lacking in standards, they pull it, collect anymore, analyze the situation to see if there’s an issue with an area of manf and address it at the factory, should that be necessary. Outside of PRS, I don’t know of another American manf that has this high of QC in their budget line as well as the USA made instruments.
Does is come with a black and white stripe T-shirt ?
Is the song at the end Spiders by SOAD? It sound very similar
I think you mean ''Questions!''.
Liking for the J Mascis commercial before this video.
The Ernie Ball version also has a coil split for the neck pickup, which adds some additional tone possibilities. I do agree, however, that the Sterling guitars are a great value.
an $80 mod can fix this right up. thats whats getting done to mine next week :)
I saw a video with Valentine with his EB version, and he mentioned how "important that split neck setting was for his funk rhythm stuff"-and that he uses it "all the time". (Er, I think he's not known for soloing.) So, I'm pretty amazed that Sterling didn't decide to include it, too. Wow. IMHO, we shouldn't have to pay for such a "Valentine-necessary" mod right off the bat, esp when things like that are easy and cheap to add on during the build. Heck, they're common even on less expensive guitars. And as always, YMMV there.
Nice playing as always. Enjoyed the tonal quality during the playthrough without the drums. Something was lost in the mix. Did you just throw shade at a whole bevy of youtube channels? Guantlets thrown? Another riff wars on the horizon?
whats the tuning your in? loving the single in the bridge with that pitch
MrMaffa96 he always uses Drop B
It's actually in Drop C#
Its actually in C# standard but with strings 1-5 a step higher than normal C# standard tuning.
..actually had to google James Valentine. :p
is that a v neck profile?nice
This or the St. Vincent?
I mean it can be a metal machine different pick-ups and lay out of the controls the looks may not be that of a metal machine but it's Def capable of such thing but yeh waadduuuppp
4:15 is that a song of Rest Repose? It sounds beautiful
Yes. It's "Sleep City"
What’s the neck shape? Is it super thin?
John Rojas Mathews Phillips, you don't need to be rude. I have checked the their website, and several other web sitses, and it does not say what shape the neck is. all Sterling homepage gives is the neck width. Check your facts before commenting on a legitimate question.
Again. I have looked. The width at the nut and body are different on each guitar. The radius is also different. Therefore the necks are not the same. I own a Musicman Valentine and don't always want to take it out.
Fun game: take a shot every time he says "and uhh... yeah"
Yngwie played metal on a strat... this is a metal machine... you CAN play metal on it if you want.l guy.
non recessed cavity plate looks kinda cheap and I doubt it's much more work
$599?????!!! That’s nuts!
Just saying I can't stand the tone of that thing
This guitar makes me mad. I want it but I don’t want it because of the maroon 5 guy.
Hmmmm i know this guitar is what it is but those pick ups got to go
Worst Demo. Lol
Why do you demo this guitar playing a different style of music? Just because it doesn't look 'high gain'? Fuck I hate that. A good guitar is supposed to do anything. Go tell fucking Josh Homme not to use his 200 dollar shitty guitar he used to write all of the Kyuss records.
stfu
Ryan Bruce tell that to agufish
