ARGH FUCK THOSE FIRST GUYS.
I love how he goes on and on about how the duo sonic isn't a tone machine, yet the amp he's playing through is, and then he proceeds to demo the awesome sound of the amp with the "child's guitar". Yeah, if a "shitty" guitar will sound good enough through a little 5 watt tube amp to demo the sound faithfully, chances are it'll sound even better through a "better" fender tube amp like a deluxe reverb or a twin.
These guys are wank. And although the 2nd guy spewed more nonsense, the first dude has the face you just can't help but want to punch the second you see him.

and wasn't the musicmaster in production until 1981?DuoSonicBoy wrote:DUH, that's right.robroe wrote:uhh dude it was reissued in 1994-1999DuoSonicBoy wrote:Yeah the Duo-Sonic didn't last.
That's why it was in constant production from 1956-1970 and got reissued last year.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Ya know, that shitty terrible children's guitar that NOBODY WANTED.
seriously though, these guys just make you seethe with rage. The Fender Champ was not a student amp you moron. It came out almost 10 years before the "dewa-sonic" and was a pretty standard size amp for the time.
once they started playing I had to make it stop.
I like how in the one about the Flying V he says "We aren't going to plug this one in because the tuners are very fragile" or something WHILE HE STARTS TO PLAY WITH THE OLD TUNERS.
Plus I found that video I quoted earlier.

Also, I like how he says the tremolo isn't as good as the Strat's trem, because the mustangs trem doesn't "work as well", the mustang's I've played all seem to have had a better trem than any strat I've played.

That's very true - the first amps were 3-5 watts and only designed to make an electric as loud as an acoustic (cause why would you want to go louder?). They were designed to add to the volume of an acoustic archtop, rather than supplement it. From '36 to '52-or-so I don't think you could get an amp over maybe 7 watts. Amps didn't get much bigger until Nat Daniels (of Danelectro, working for Epiphone at the time) pioneered the class A/B amp, which was copied to make the first Fender Deluxe.
The 22.5" scale also isn't only a student feature; many makers experimented with shorter scales to make for easier playing when the only strings available were 13 or 14 gauge flatwounds. The Gibson Byrdland is the most notable - Gibson shortened the scale to make jazz chording easier, and that was on a $3000 professional guitar. Rickenbacker's 325 was a "student" guitar, but the 20.75" scale made it popular with jazzers (where Lennon first noticed it on an album cover). It was also the equivalent of $3000, which is why Lennon never actually paid for his first one.
You can also add that lowering the tension of the strings (by tuning down or using lighter gauges) has the same effect on the harmonic balance of the tone as shortening the scale. This was why PRS chose a 25" scale on his guitars - he was attempting to get the same "softening" of the tone Hendrix got by tuning down.
These Jawbone guys should stop listening with their eyes and read a fucking book about guitar design and history.

i have a whole dvd of those two pricks in the first clip that came with a fender book my girlfriend bought me.
they trash EVERYTHING that isn't a strat or a tele. the bit where cock #2 illustrates the way he has his strat trem set up is priceless, as is the bit where he plays the b string then touches the lower bout of the guitar to feel the resonance. if it resonates in a certain way "you've got a winner". i tried it with some of my guitars and none of them did what he was talking about. they must all be shit then, eh?

Sadly that is the way of many music shops too. I live in a place where all music shops sell for guitars are strats, teles, LPs and SGs. I walked in one day to one of these places and asked the clerk if I could get a price on a Jaguar if they ordered one. His reply was priceless..."A what?"stewart wrote:they trash EVERYTHING that isn't a strat or a tele.
No.
