Haha I bet that felt good finding that little piece after crawling around for hours
i really love your videos, keep making em!! 😀
You should make is OG highflier in sunburst/like the fecal matter guitar
that bass switch does give it that growl
Had one. Traded it. Still hateyself for that decision
Can you just use single coil pickups from a strat for the same sound
This "bass boost" switch is basically bass cut circuit. This is made of passive elements that can't boost anything. There is just capacitor that passes only low frequencies to the ground. Something like stock Fender Jaguar has.
Build Rivers Cuomo's Blue guitar
Hey, what pick do you use?
Dumb question but will you be doing Pat’s live In utero strat?
you should do a video about kurt´s guitar tecnic
I would much appreciate it if you decide to recreate the tone from the nevermind rehearsals
Yet he has no Mosrites
Hey Eric you should do a Leeds Polytecnic 1990 tone recreation!!
3:30 probably late to the party on this but I believe the "wires" got crossed on the Univox Pickups thing. They are used in Univox Guitars, many Matsumoku factory models actually. But not Hi-Fliers of any type.
I have a Conrad branded version of this. Got it for 60 bucks off Craigslist.
video on bass pls!!!
You gotta do a cover of all the smart sessions songs!!!! Love that guitar
Can you make a video of Smells Like Teen Spirit tone at Limehouse Studios (The Word)? Some people say it's the best version of Teen Spirit
I hear Smashing Pumpkins' tone in the middle position.
I love your channel. I'm old yet I don't feel old. I graduated highschool in 94. Nirvana changed my life. I don't get to watch your videos as quickly as I'd like because life gets in the way but when I get the chance. I love it. It inspires me to plug in my guitar and just rock out as cheesey as that sounds. I just want to say thank you. I wish I had content like this when I was originally trying to figure out kurts sound.
You'd think there'd at least be an unofficial clone of these guitars
Kurt would hate this channel
I love my epiphone et 270
Hi Eric! Do you think you’ll ever get a Sunn Beta Lead? I have one and I’ve been trying to find a settings video for it forever, it just seems that no one who owns one does any Nirvana stuff with it ????
great video! i saw on your amazon storefront that you use/have used a behinger eq pedal, and i just would like to know what settings you used on it so i can get a similar sound. i remember you showed it off in another video but i cannot remeber which one it was ????
There's nothing wrong putting a new nut in a guitar my brother. I own several pre-CBS Fenders and each one has had a new nut and a refret. Thats how you keep them playing great.
7:55 ????????????????????????????????????????????
Brown Bleach Mustang is very beautiful!
Nice, I've always wondered about this guitar. Cool stuff, thanks for sharing, man❤
Wish they would reissue this one. Btw aren't those the same pickups as on Aria 1532T? They look the same and kind of sound similar.
