I am reviewing the Takamine EG523sc acoustic electric guitar. The intro and exitlude is “Catching the Light” by Antoine Dufour. It is a really good guitar.

Here’s a great condition 1956 Gibson Les Paul Custom (Black Beauty) which I will be posting for sale soon on eBay. It is not perfect as it did get played but it is way cleaner than I’ve ever seen for one of these. Note the California “Cal” Girl pink lined case in the backround. From what I gather there were less than 500 of these made that year and less than 1000 total of this model ever made between the prototypes in 1953 until the end of 1956 (they changed to Humbucking pickups in 1957). Send me a message (through my channel page link…just click on my name or avatar) if you are interested. Most of this demo was with played on the “Burn” channel of my Fender Super Sonic amp and I vary the amount of gain (distortion) by changing the amp settings…I start with everything set at 5 (except the volume which was about 3) and then increase everthing as the video goes on and also by “playing” dynamics (how hard I hit the strings) and with the volume and tone controls on the guitar…when I say “treble” position, I mean “bridge” and when I say “bass” position, I mean “neck”. I play it clean at the very end to show that off as well…this guitar is awesome!
I sell lots of used guitars and basses (both here and on eBay…same name there…100% positive feedback) and I’m a dealer for the Mbrace stands and also Thomastik-Infeld strings. Let me know if there is something you want/write me if you’re interested…use the send a message link on my channel page.
Also…Guitars Wanted as I’m always looking for more guitars…I buy/sell/trade ‘em.
The guitar is plugged straight into my same old rig (no effects at all)…a Fender Super Sonic combo with an Avatar 2×12 all loaded with 12″ Hellatone 30’s. Any other questions, just ask…

http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitars/Electric_Guitars/Electric_Guitars/p7490.aspx It’s generally considered that Fender electric guitars get cooler with age, you’ll never find players such as John Mayer, Dave Gilmore or John Frusciante playing a brand spanking new strat or tele…older Fenders tend to wear in as they age, developing their own personality over the years of gigging, feeling more comfortable and looking cooler than when they were brand new. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have the money to buy a real vintage guitar without selling a kidney, that’s why Fender have introduced the Road Worn series guitars. Using aging techniques based on the processes used on Fender’s Custom Shop Relic guitars, the Road Worn series offers more affordable, pre-aged, vintage looking instruments.
The nitrocellulose finish will wear in unlike a polyester finish which just chips and is too hard to wear in. The Road Worn guitars will look even better with a couple of years playing in them and i must say the relic job is top notch, the wear is just right and look and feel even better in the flesh.
This guitar is the Fender Road Worn 60’s Stratocaster in Olympic White. Designed around the original 1960s specs, this Mexican made guitar features a pre-worn/beaten up finish on an alder body and maple neck, 3-ply aged scratchplate and vintage, pre-aged hardware. Classic stratocaster tones are delivered from Fender’s Tex-Mex pickups whilst the rosewood fingerboard features modern 6105 style frets.
The Fender Road Worn 60’s Strat offers awesome classic looks and that sought after vintage feel whilst still delivering the performance expected from a modern guitar…without being too much of a strain on your wallet!

I made this video to help people choose and maintain a good used (even new as sometimes they have issues too) 12 string acoustic guitar. Most salespeople won’t tell you any of this stuff…some don’t know it, some won’t take the time, some are trying to sell you a guitar with issues…sales in most stores is just a numbers game…sell the most at the most profit…few take the time to actually listen to what the customer wants (and can afford) and focus only on what they have and what makes the most for them. This video should help you avoid a guitar with issues and/or help you keep your guitar from developing any. If I forgot anything, just ask…
