I am back at demoing guitars for Jerry's Lefty Guitars. Jerry is personally responsible for commissioning guitars never before available for left handed guitarists. This is one of such guitars. Great Surf and Rockabilly sounds. Interesting guitar shape! And I can now say I have played lipstick pickups.
This is also the debut of my new GoPro camera. I have been meaning to buy one of these for a while now. I am loving the headstock angle. And Jerry loves it too!
My first quality guitar. I have played many gigs with it, countless rehearsals and I have recorded stuff with it as well. As durable as the V12 finish is, the wear is starting to show. I never reviewed it, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with PRS guitars. I love the products, I hate that there are only two models available currently for us lefties, and only as limited runs. That is not uncommon practice in the guitar world, but Paul Reed Smith's take on lefties as a market has been less than politically correct.
Anyway, the guitar is awesome. My playing could be better. First time I recorded myself standing up. It kinda threw me off!
I am really digging this guitar. It is basically flawless. I had forgotten how fun Strats can be!
I noticed I didn't use the whammy bar at all on my first review video. While not a full locking tremolo, this bridge is very stable and the locking tuners provide great tuning stability. Soloing to some tracks, while testing the whammy bar and the SSV bridge pickup.
My guitar dealer and I have been discussing the possibility of me demoing guitars for him. This is our first attempt.
I approached this review as if I was personally auditioning this guitar at Jerry's shop. Open chords, higher voicings, double stops, single lines. I tried to keep the examples consistent so you can hear the difference between pickups. I start the video playing with a very light touch and I increase the dynamics gradually.
I had a blast playing this guitar. I can't wait to go back to Jerry's shop. So many lefty guitars! It truly is lefty Heaven down there!
