    This video has that warm, vintage tone.
  • A lot of myths have one thing in common: Trying to separate you from your hard earned money.
  • When I was a teen just starting to play electric guitar, someone told me that Eddie Van Halen boiled his guitar strings in hot water on the stove before stringing his guitar ( to allow them to stretch ). I did that, and when I removed the string from the boiling pot, they were nothing but pure rust! Lol, I'll never forget that, so don't believe that myth! R.I.P. Eddie.

    "Play jazz on an SG . . . play bluegrass on an Ibanez" . . . Yep. Just PLAY!!!
  • @paulsgotgas7307
    To my ears the rosewood fretboard had a warmer vintage tone than the maple, but that just might have been the poly finish.
  • @legryzzly2
    The more important part of the guitar for tone ? THE AMP
  • @ryankelsey9646
    “Wood is unpredictable.” Yes, I deal with that problem every morning! Lol
  • @bolland83
    "Warm vintage tone" probably has more to do with the recording gear of the time being all analog tube gear, than it does with the guitar pickups.
  • @shokid
    You need to boil the guitar picks to get that vintage warm tone, then you freeze them and then deep fry, to get that crunch 😂😂
  • @jarrydee2799
    Damn near spit my coffee out when I seen that chopped up strat... Awesome!

    Darrell proves that “made in Canada” can sound as good as anywhere. Love his comment about CNC machines hahahahaha - well said Darrell!
  • @TheWolvesCurse
    myth9: finally! i can play deathmetal on a hollowbody guitar!
  • @AnomieTrain
    I always start the day with a big bowl of guitar string soup
  • Ok can confirm was triggered multiple times in this video hahahahaha
  • @fondoman3884
    .. thank you, Darrell! I do feel that you deserved some kind of award for all the work/effort that you've put into the making of your excellent videos and all the knowledge/info that you've shared through all the years!
  • @The030Berliner
    Another wonderful myth to add: The brand of your potentiometers and capacitors changes everything! You'll need CTS pots, Switchcraft switch and input jack, and an Orange Drop capacitor to sound good!
