I can't believe it is SEVENTY-FIVE episodes already… wow!

@0:51 "say hello to my ENGL friend!" ???????? That would work there ????????
I think EVH definitely nailed it!????
I love the Penguin, but I could do without the bursty-bits around the edge….or maybe a bit thinner bursty-bits.
249 in US
Finally ! No Floyd..
I've been checking their page every 4 or 5 months.. for the last 6 years.. looking for one.
I believe now…I might buy an EVH .
You and I , Andy..you and i… that Olive green is the "#$#"….
I wonder if they'll release one later .. ????
(It's EVH and Ibanez.. that have, all but extinguished the Talman..)
PS: Damn , that Gretsch looks brilliant.
thanks for the video
I have a Gordon Smith with the thick neck profile and a Gibson with the Medium C neck profile. The Gordon Smith thick profile is something between a SlimTaper 60s neck and the Medium C.
That wolfgang looks sic
Basswood is pronounced "Basswood". Hope that helps ????
Congrats for 75 WIG shows! Looking forward to watch the coming next 75!
Fireball pedal seems interesting but obviously different circuit from a real head. I'll accept it as a gift ????
EVH Wolfgangs were available without Floyds for the first year or three after launch. Personally, I am beyond sick of guitars being available with a Floyd or a TOM: it is not as though millions of guitarists hate with a fiery passion the flat neck pitches of Strats, Teles, and all other guitars with low bridges.
Why would someone complain about the names of the people helping to bring this show to us?
And to be honest, I thought those acoustic guitars would be about double the price… Maybe 1.5 X
Nope, that Gretch is a puketard.
Hi Andy, congratulations on the 75th episode! Yet again, I’m left in awe of yet another BLOODY PEDAL! I really wannit very very very much indeed! In fact everything on the list I want! Damn G.A.S. The Engel is one awesome bit of kit. Couple that with the recent announcement with Chase Bliss and AnalogMan….ARGHHHHHHH! Thanks for the great reviews dude! 6:06 ????????????????????????????????
The engl. pedal costs 249€ by Thomann.
FYI, ENGL Fireball price:
$249.99 in the U.S. at Guitar Center, Sweetwater, and zZounds.
Is there any way to properly respect your top tier supporters, and STILL have you turn up to play pentatonics at my house?
That ???? though…..
Congrats on the 75 episodes ! Now Andy Andy Andy 18:00 Ive 5 guitars with Floyd Rose trems (well actually 1 of those is my gold Ibanez Pia with its Edge II or III trem) and they rarely go out of tune and are super stable.
My PRS SE Tremonti with trem though took quite a while to get stable (nut issues) and has to be used carefully!!
Cheers from NZ ????????????
What a lovely week! Fireball takes the cake!!! And I don't give flowers….but I'll get you a pint next time we meet 😉
OK, but I don't think 75 weekly episodes is 3/4 of a century. Isn't it more like a year and a half? ????
And please stop winking at us my girlfriend is getting suspicious.
???????? Happy now? ????
Half Man, half Dude, Half Br0.
ManDudeBr0.
Never stop reading that outloud.
in the parlance; The Engle Fireball IR is around 250 notes.
I'm trying to tolerate acoustics appearing in pick of the week this year… I admit I'm struggling now. (Childhood trauma from asking my Mum for a guitar and being given an acoustic ???? is most certainly responsible for this reaction. We all have our burdens to bear)
That is the first Paisley guitar I've ever liked
"Saves the positions of your knob settings" ooh errr missus!
I’m glad you read the names at the end. Due to some offensive names I just sign off and let them have fun
Me: Take my money. EVH: no lefties
As guitarists, I say we vote to remove the B from Basswood, and that'll be the end of it.
ENGL Fireball IR $249.99 at Sweetwater
