The Guitologist
США
Добавлен 18 май 2007
Hi, I'm Brad the Guitologist. I do stuff with amps, guitars, and related gear. I also occasionally cover music news. If you're looking strictly for a gear demo channel, this ain't it. Here, we take a look under the hood of a lot of vintage amplifiers and talk about how they work and how to mod them. I also vlog about my adventures buying, selling, travelling and repairing stuff, and whatever else my whims dictate.
The Guitar Market goes 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒...and I Bring Home a 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐘 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐋!
Last day of the Dallas International Guitar Festival reveals more HOLY GRAIL AMPLIFIERS and even some FAKE Gibson Guitars! See what I ended up bringing home!

I took a trip to what is effectively the largest pop-up vintage guitar shop in the country - the Dallas International Guitar Festival - again this year.

That beast sounds glorious!!! That lush midrange is phenomenal!! ❤
There some interesting conflicting comments below. I have been a huge Govan fan for many years. For a long time back in around 2008 and forward he was playing a Tom Anderson Drop Top which was a superb high quality guitar. I don't have the kind of money to buy any kind of high priced guitar. Six months ago I bought myself a Sire Larry Carlton S3. $400. It's hard to believe a $400 guitar sounds and plays this great.
Nice..if i could just put life in FF,i could do the same in about 1hr 20mm
Its got 3 12ax7a tubes, so right away you can figure the reverb is solid state, but I mean that shouldnt preclude anyone from altering the wet/dry mix.
Great hoody
Great video, iinteresting gear!
I got my Jackson king V off of FB market for my B-day present last year . The body and neck is great but the nut bolts were stripped and the licensed FR was beat to shit . So after replacing the nut which is no easy task at least for someone who knows nothing about guitar repair and changing the FR with a Gotoh trem im really really happy it wasn’t easy for this noob fixer upper but now plays like a dream . Oh yeah also replaced the tuners with D’Addario locking tuners , say what you want about locking tuners don’t help with keeping a guitar in tune well I gotta call BS on that along with the locking nut it never goes out of tune 😊
Those wall speakers were the PA in our school in the 60's.
What a great innovative idea sinking the knobs in , Kramer was my first guitar back when I was a tadpole, got stolen 😢. Beautiful axe you got
I believe the holy Grail guitar would be ...a early's 50s strat ...or les Paul....old warn and used played to life ....
I still have my '67 NORMA acoustic electric. still in pristine condition. Paid about $125 back then.
I never understood the obsession with dating pots to make sure they are original. Is there some special tone you get from old pots? Why do people care?
Average age at these shows man. Same at the gigs. Already seeing a crash in the big blackface amps. Dying off.. Kids not bothered. Just too loud. Too heavy. Being a relative infant at 45 years I rub my hands with glee.
The prices are outrageously high. I'm not buying anything. Playing the one's I have. With Covid, everyone started raising prices because Covid gave them a convenient excuse to price gouge. Many people on Reverb are asking more than the guitar's actual value.
I could watch two good old boys waffling over a gold top for sixty minutes. Nothing beats an early 50’s gold top
Brad i think you got some screws loose
Brad, would you be so kind to help me with some old amplifiers? They seem to be in original condition but they need of reworked and recapped. Thank you we're audiohipster online.
Amen.
brother brad hey - how's your d - diving these days? I'm hitting a real dry spell myself - any advice?
Amen.
Strip the best stuff out and then shoot it! I really hate these amps, I'm afraid I will have to make the decision not to take them in again. Or, charge in advance for the time. Even the old Marks are terrible amps to work on. They are great sounding but over priced and over engineered. Too much crammed into too little space.
I wish i could find a decent schematic and layout fo this amp. Everything is so grainy on line. I would love to build one
they cost to much
The new Kramer’s are not the same as the 80’s however, the reissue Baretta Special at $180 is a fantastic guitar once you remove the bleed capacitor. I have Corona Strats and Gibson LPs, but I play the $180 Baretta more because it just plays amazingly. For any of you younger players with limited funds I guarantee this is your best bang for the buck.
How the heck would you be able to check for a cracked trace under the board while it's powered up?
Watching this in 2024 because my MG100hdfx just lost all output. The light still comes on but no sound. I will be taking it apart and diagnosing it because it got me through the crazy times of when you put out this video. I have fond memories of spending many hours playing through it while the world stood still.
See if the preamp part works by using the preamp out. If it works, then it's likely the exact same problem with the output board. I've seen replacement boards on ebay here and there.
@@TheGuitologist thanks I will try that.
Ive had that plate-heater arc happen as well. Gets the blood pumping!! I had.to.replace.my socket , it was full of carbon haha. It's cool that yours didn't burn up. It's definitely a kit amp.. not a bad build but metropolis builds are some premo sheit.
Hell yeah!! MAGA Trump 2024!
I have a 79/80, made in 79 but sold as an 80. Unfortunately, they are ultralinear and135 watts. I love it, but can't distort it. It's too clean. These are primarily meant for stage volume. I love it, and use pedals instead. But, after the Baldwin Exterminstor (loudest huge combo am ever made), this and the Super Twin are the loudest combo amps made. My master should be replaced, as it only worked at 5. Now I can get it as low as 2. I can live with 2-10.
I ditched a mint Mesa dc30 about ten years ago. I was gassing for a vintage traynor. And I found a super rare 75 reverb master 2x10. And that's before I knew anything about amps. I'm even more pleased now , knowing how convoluted mesas are lol
Beauty. Thanks.
When I was a teenager in the early 1980's I acquired a brand new LP Gold Top which I was not fond of, I was stunned when I went to several guitar stores in downtown Toronto and not one of them would entertain a trade for a new or even used Strat. At some point, I practically gave it away with no regrets. In today's market that guitar would have value to someone but back then no one cared.
This has been an awesome trip, thanks so much for bringing us along. I truly wish we had a show like that here, the interwebs saves the day.
Temu is tat mate. Clickbait.
Saludos respetuoso desde Puerto Rico.
Pure class, as always. Thanks so much for your videos. It’s such a worthwhile contribution to RUclips, as nobody else seems to make ‘em quite like this.
I owned an identical Gibsonette in the 2000's. Great cranked up sound.
Guess I won’t be buying anything from this company A.R.T.
Yeah, it has a few fatal flaws actually: 1) It's costs $3700 2) It doesn't cook me dinner nor blow me. 3) It's already been branded by another man... 4) The demographic willing to pay $3700 for a guitar is quickly dying off from old age. 👌😁👍
What would be the issue if you were to unhook the speaker and turn it so the trans was as far as possible from the addition peace? OK just noticed you did that problem solved.
Yeah,... hes good, but hes not that good, there are many others who out play him in all kinds of ways; his playing is very limited.
Best solid state amp I ever owned?¿ VOX Pathfinder.
Probably would’ve been easier just to make a decent offer for everything and sort it out later. His approach to a yard sale seems to make him sound more like a used car dealer. 🧐
They sound awesome with a les Paul and tube screamer
I cant believe you spent over $2000 for camera equipment to film this video as cheap as you are...LOL! Love your channel, keep up the good work.
Splurged on an ASUS ROG Strix laptop and a DJI Osma Action 4 with accessories. It was necessary and a long time coming. Worthy investment in the channels. Wish now I'd done it years ago. But you're right, I'm tight-fisted AF. Took me a month to search out the best deals. ;)
@TheGuitologist yeah your ass is tight when it comes to spending money but I think that's what makes you relatable.
I totally agree both sides have done wrong..everyone wants to choose a side and the truth is the more you look into it,they have both done terrible things..that being said,to bomb woman and children,theres no excuse!..and it is interesting how gilmore is repeating mainstream news points
That guy should be prosecuted for Guitar Cruelty.
Brad im guessing your a believer in God. me as well I had a big ole ass kicking heavy weight power lifting champ for a dad, he loved 3 things well four, God, Family, Self defense and weightlifting. he instilled the lessons i needed when i was young and i have had a very strong faith since i was young, even through 12 or so years of heavy heavy heavy heroin addiction i was still sharring God with junky friends and one even became a christian after spending time with me and my family. im gonna deff be praying for the guy from the acoustic company, everyone here that believes in prayer lets get some prayers said for him. ive always liked your channel ive been watching you for years, i remember praying for your family when you guys were having some rougher times. im just always so glad to find other christians, ive been enjoying the fixologist videos. im alot like you. im not above getting stuff from bulk trash some people throw away perfectly awesome stuff its amazing. anyways great video man ps since i mentioned heroin and drugs let me say youngsters out there i lost over 100 grand in guitars and amps in the decade i was using. its garbage stay away from it.
Thanks Jonny.
This I know is an unpopular opinion.. but I believe Hartley Peavy vastly improved on the Fender Twin when he designed the Peavey Deuce amps. Just my opinion. Nothing against Fender.
