What color is that red one?

It's been a minute. I hope you're healthy and happy out there B.

Exactly what you said! No one is going to need or use the full 85 watts. If you’re practicing alone, that’s ear splitting loud and if you’re playing a show, it’s still way too loud for stage volumes being what they are today. I initially bought the twin when it first came out and loved it, but quickly realized it was overkill. So while still within my return window at GC, I returned it and bought the Deluxe Reverb model. Love it, haven’t looked back. It’s all anyone needs and then some.

TM amps are not bad, but for digital clones I expected that they sound closer to the original models...

The Gibson from that time may have P-100s

Hey is there any way you can describe the process of sanding down that music master to the original finish? Im working on a 56 and im trying my best to find any information on doing this but im outo of luck

Good playing. Love the jaguar

What was the best way to get to the original finish? I am restoring a 56 music master and im trying to get to the og finish

Why do people wear hats indoors?

They are not counterfeits. They don't meet the definition. There are enough differences in them to make them replicas & not counterfeits.

Great review, am thinking of one of these. I have a Gibson and it's pretty nice! It's a weird translucent green instead of yellow.

Only minor issue, I have to boost the highs to get the same sound as my tube Twin reissue. Nothing an EQ pedal can’t fix

San Diego 🎉

That’s some really nice playing,the tone reminds me of an authentic 60s/70s strat tone

i got the g10 since 2019., recently died, no warning, just stop working. Never buy another product from line 6 again

And, you can do all that single coil stuff too. Maybe sweating a bit more.

I remember when people where happy to just have a electric.guitar and crank it up / i dont recall anybody talking about how the serial number was done😅 And the finish??? Is it tripple A top???? WTF. It is getting sooooo ridiculous/ seems like everybody going deep diving into micro bits and pieces/ Slash did the first album on a copycat ??? So what is this insanity 👊

Boy I reaaly would have loved to here those chops you were playing at the end of the vid. Not only to hear the guitar but to hear the licks. It sounded really good!

Remember, 1 Gibson =4 Epiphones...

Very cool!

Hey B! Hope you’ve been doing great. This video got a shoutout from Nathan Sink today. th-cam.com/video/ft6Y21mfJOk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bTUg2XsggyHW9zlO Cool to see your channel show up in the wild.

I'm only about 3 minutes in, but I'm kind of getting the idea that a lot of people aren't using this amplifier right. It seems like at lower volumes the tone master amps are anemic; hence why it has the faux attenuation. I'm assuming that for some reason or another, they couldn't get it *exactly* the same, so this was the "patch." There's currently one of these used for a killer price near me, and I think I'm going to pull the trigger on it. And as I'm writing this, you're kind of backing up my thinking

Hagstroms are an addiction, at least for me. I have maybe 8 videos on them on my channel. Fun facts: of the 3 screws that anchor the neck to the body, one is a machine screw that anchors directly to the trussroad. Nobody else does that, and I think it adds something. The trem design is pretty amazing, and the one in this video still has the thumbscrew though it's missing the bar itself. It's designed to mate to a detent in the bar, and the idea is you "park" the bar flat when you put it in the case. But for me, the real magic is in the (missing) stock bridge design. It allows you to intonate each string back and forth, height, AND slide them around laterally. That allows you to do what I call a spread bore string spacing, which means you can get more room on the treble strings than the bass strings. A Kahler can do that, but no other bridge really does and it's magical if you dig into it. Speaking of magic, those round shoulder Hag single coils are pretty amazing - the pole pieces are just decorative, it's an Alnico V bar magnet underneath. Lastly is the neck. In a 1965 world where all guitar strings are flatwound 11s, the Hag neck was known as the fastest playing neck in the world. Super flat 15" radius, super thin, small frets even for the period. If you put 9s or 8s on that thing, and set the action super low you can make a real "shredder" sports guitar out of it. Dig this: th-cam.com/video/4BsV_0J2T0A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JVipV7TnntUAld2H

Not the purpose of your video but damn, how cute/handsome you are, my man! 🫂 Do you have videos of how to finish a guitar neck (tint)? I’ve got a Bronco Bass and I don’t like the lack of tint on its neck.

If you are running the amp with gain and turn your volume on your guitar down, will it clean up like a tube amp?

How much does it weigh?

Daaaamn you can play, excellent video!

Where did you find another pickguard for the Sonic Stang?

Quick question, what size wrench did you use truss rod nut? Just got my Tonika bass in the mail today and it needs an adjustment

great video, i looked these up because i saw phil elverum using one live! great playing, great analysis, had to subscribe im not even gonna lie

Love it. I’ve been thinking of putting a stinger on a Epiphone I have. So cool.

Nice honest review

I bought a Hagstrom II in 1971. It spent a lot of time in the case in a closet after playing it for about 6 years when new. I recently fell in love with that guitar again. I pulled it apart to clean the switches and pot and track down a grounding issue. It plays great now and I agree, it was built with care. Those tiny oval head slotted wood screws seem to have held everything together for all those years, but they will rust from sweat and humidity. I noticed the Hagstrom you handled had the same area of paint scratched off the back of the body just like mine. Belt buckles will do that! I painted over the red factory finish with dark metallic blue automotive paint. It looked more like a Gibson SG which I could never afford back then. Thanks for the vid, great to see some other Hags on YT.

I love tge gutiars and the playing I really like the duo sonic sounds good I love those its crazy they never caught on oh well more vintage ones for the fans of the mustang and dou well thanks for the vid stay safe and well peace out rock on bye

I like the Ricky don't lose that number

Is this a made in China amplifier?

Nice results!

Sonic Mustang reviews are overwhelmingly positive & I already have a Sonic Telecaster that i love... Definitely thinking of getting one of the lime green Sonic Mustangs. 🤙❤️

Very nice looking instrument ! How did you got it ?

I'd go black. I'm not a fan of stingers. Don't really have a reason why.

Super helpful! Just bought one myself and looking to make some upgrades. What tuning pegs did you end up going with? Was looking at Gotoh SD90's but worried about whether or not it would fit.

Where did you get that pickguard? I've only found Fender pickguards in the SS config to replace it.

I'm subscribed and receive notifications so I don't know how I missed this but had been wondering where you'd been. I really, really enjoy your content and sincerely hope you're doing well and all is good with you. Do whatever it takes to keep you level and get you up and running again. Stay well. John

Thanks for this review. I like the way you played different tones and pedals. Like you said most reviews are clean tones. I appreciate it as a guitar player who plays stoner rock through a Twin.

Love your videos man. The technical aspect mixed with the personal introspection makes for such a great combination. Thank you so much for making these.

Copy Junk--That R is Cheap Junk From China putting the real deal down.. Long live Rickenbacker--China Junk can go to hell.

I don't see you email? do you have an instagram page? thanks

Very Cool! I love the care of your eye, I have a 1965 Musicmaster 2... bought it in 1982, pawn shop in Monroe, Louisiana, for $35 ... I'll try to email you a pic, it went through my punk and alternative bands to now...

Definitely not the best fender amp. Lol 90% of the people who are bragging on the tone master amps have never owned or been on stage and compared the tube vs TM side by side... there's definitely a difference.

So… I’ve got a blonde tonemaster twin. I play in a punk band. I generally use it on the highest settings at shows/practice, but it’s on 5 or so. Then on the lowest setting at home. I’ve got a half stack and I’ve got a blues jr too, but really haven’t played either of them since picking this up. It is kind of a do it all amp. I’ve never had a problem with it. Sounds great. Takes pedals. Easy to take places. Looks great. People have weird feelings about them, but it’s a legit great amp.
