วีดีโอ

I had to listen back to see what I did - its not from a particular song (yet :-) just a chord progression G C D with a bit of Em and a A thrown in somewhere. But now you mentioned it, maybe I’ll make a song over that bunch of chords. Later I played a bit of Buck’s music and an intro to a Radney Foster song (Godspeed).

You don’t ‘need’ to but you may want to later if you want a higher output.

@ yea may be ill replace the pick ups if i want its a beautiful guitar thanks for reply

And a tip about that different volages, if you transport the amp, check if its still in the right position before you turn it on. If it’s not then you are likely to blow a fuse! I had this happen and now always carry a couple spare.

I've tried a couple of the new Sigma's and was impressed. Have fun with yours :-) And the company history does indeed have strong links to Martin in many ways.

The shop lists it as blonde while on the Jet site it’s listed at beige. The one I got seemed quite yellow though.

Glad you liked it :-) And now I’m off to check out your video’s! Have a good Christmas.

@@ColinLPrice haha - cheers Colin! Have a great Christmas yourself!

@@MarkFeaGuitargreat channel! So much to look through :-) VERY impressed with your playing too. Much better than me. That smooth bending then adding vibrato like it’s easy… but it’s not :-)

@ColinLPrice haha cheers mate. Thanks for checking it out and your kind words!

Thank you. Have a good Christmas and see you in the new year :-) I’ve got to admit I ‘borrowed’ the backing track. I’m not that good on piano.

I’m loving it. I’ve only used it at home and a couple of times in studio recordings, not live yet. But I’m very happy with the playability and the sound. I’ve seen the comments from others who were less happy, so I hope you get a good one :-) I’ve leant it to a couple of people to try and they thought it just looked odd, played fine but they couldn’t get over the crazy styling. I like that it’s a bit different is it’s own thing.

Let us know what you think of it when it arrives!

@ColinLPrice Yes people we have our own likes and dislikes for me and it sounds like for you too Colin that we like unusual things that are different Yes that's right just hope I get a good one Have a great Christmas Colin thumbs up from Australia 🦘

We had lots of smart ideas when we were younger :-)

I guess mine will be the same as yours but I don't experience it the same way in terms of playability. The neck feels different to a more matte finish for sure, but it works for me with my way of playing.

I sent mine back. The frets were uneven. It buzzed on cowboy chords. I really wanted it, but it's Chinese junk 😢😢😢😢

@@13druber wow, that’s bad! I’d have done the same (return it) if mine had been like that. It didn’t look like there had been any inspection after leaving the manufacturing place (eg. finding sandpaper in the guitar should not have happened). But it shouldn’t leave the factory as you received it. I can only say mine is fine. Maybe I was just lucky.

A. Get a professional set up with new extra light D’addario strings B. Get some 000 steel wool and lightly sand the back of the neck with it. C. You’re welcome

@ yeah. I’m gonna scuff up the neck on a guitar I bought as a collectible. Great idea.

Ha ha :-) Glad you like it.

You’re going to love it! Glad you like the videos. Thanks :-)

Its the same blue. Must be my basic camera work. More vids of this guitar on the way. Maybe you’ll see it better.

That’s a long wait! I figured they’d sell fast.

@@ColinLPrice I bought it very early the morning it was announced. Each store must have gotten a very small initial allotment

Has it arrived? If you don’t mind me asking

@ i got another zzounds special. It came damaged and will have to take it to a professional to fix the fishman system. I am never buying from zzounds again

@@RedDawnWOLVthat’s bad luck :-( I guess there’s not much quality control going on after they leave the factory. Let us know what you think of it when it’s sorted. I’m really happy with mine.

Welcome :-)

How about this? th-cam.com/video/N1szh9L1UI8/w-d-xo.html

@ LOL there you go!

I enjoyed your review. I just ordered mine! ​@ColinLPrice

Bungalows.

"A Pickin & A Grinnin"

I bet you have plenty of Chinese parts on all your guitars. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So that’s another good reason to come along some time :-)

I can even be louder than the drummer now :-) Well… maybe not louder but loud enough.

@@steveburrows101 I feel the same!!!! Come on, fender. Make me FEEL like I bought an expensive guitar. A little booklet or at least a postcard saying what it is, what number it is, maybe a little bit about buck…..

I got one straight from fender, no booklet or anything, was shipped in a box with no packing materials at all , the battery was loose banging around inside, I’ve probably bought around 300 guitars online,and this was the worst packed guitar out of all of them.

@@weed491 Same here

It sure is :-)

Go do it! You won't regret it.

@ just finally got around to it. I really bought it as more of a collectible because I have the Elvis Clambake too. My battery connector is in a bag that has Velcro on the back to stick it to the inside of the neck heel there.

@@vacantjosh Enjoy!

I just bought mine! I might drive up and pick it up tomorrow!

I just took the trem off a couple of days ago to put on a different guitar maybe or sell. I kind of think it looks beter without and didn’t really use it that much for what I play on it. Glad you like the video’s :-) More to come soon… new guitar on the way…

@@ColinLPrice Thanks! Looking forward to it!

Yes, the signal is very low level compared to a guitar with built in preamp, like the modern Ovations. I don’t think I’ve ever recorded the signal direct to a computer but I’m sure I’d need to set the gain to max to make it even near usable. So yes, ideally you need some kind of preamp or clean boost pedal before going into the interface on your computer. To be honest, I think you’d get better sound using a mic and plugging that in to the computer though.

@@ColinLPrice Thanks a lot Colin ! it's very nice from you ! Musically Kish

You may well be right about it failing some time in the future. But I moved it to a different guitar about a year ago and it’s holding out fine being used a few times a week at rehearsals and gigs. If and when something fails I’ll let you guys know. This is a follow up video: th-cam.com/video/bjJv5_fkSkc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FIAdaEpKIs5t1HBN

Your moronic suggestions all make sense to me :-) Thanks! And all of the things you mention sound like a follow up video I need to make to experiment a bit more. To be continued…

@@ColinLPrice Thanks lol, I really am not an expert, but noise issues drive me mad lol! I've tried using the ART isolator in some situations and it doesn't help at all... Trial and error I guess...

You are very welcome! It was wonderful to meet up with you both. I had a great time just hanging out. The Music was lots of fun too! But next time we need to do the Rick Beato style interview seeing as we are both such avid TH-camrs :-)

You don’t get much low out of this mainly due to the small speaker. But it’s fine as a practice amp or in an ‘almost acoustic’ setting. I’ll be using it in a situation like that tonight. As for pedals, it’s working fine for me when I add a reverb. But I don’t put much more than that in front of it. I’d use a bigger amp usually if I want more effects as they give a fuller sound spectrum.

Good idea... a 'year later' update. I'll get a video out on that. But in short, the trem has been on a different guitar for quite a long time now. It was working fine on this one but I wanted to try it on my Epi Firebird which I use a lot for gigs. And it stayed there because I like it. So the JA 60 is back to stock and gets used mainly at jam sessions. It's light and its 'different' to what most people bring, both for looks and the sound. On the Firebird with stock tunomatic bridge and standard nut the trem works fine for me. No tuning issues with what I do with it.

Here's the update video on where the trem is now :-) th-cam.com/video/bjJv5_fkSkc/w-d-xo.html

@@ColinLPriceThanks and good to see it's still working out on the other guitar, thanks for the info 👍
