My partscaster (Tele) is the one I grab the most…feels great, sounds great (mine has a Billy Gibbons bridge pickup from Seymour Duncan), and plays great (mine has a Brad Paisley MIM neck).

Ha! Sat here saying "Yes!" and "Absolutely, that!" through this. I'm on my fourth build and couldn't agree with you more about the neck. I would however say "get the best neck, then buy the body from the same shop". That way shims are less of a factor. Also get a very good soldering iron, and some good nut slot files. I've done cheap guitars and expensive ones. A properly done partscaster can be top end for a quarter of CS prices. I hadn't played a Strat that sounded like a '62 Strat until I built it (for about £1200). Not cheap, but full of character and sweet as you can imagine. Keep up the good work.

In all other "LP vs Revstar" videos I've watched, the Revstar sounds more hi-fi, has more zing to it, more highs and lows, clearer overal. This video shows the opposite. Maybe something is wrong with its electronics? Maybe it's due to variation between wood pieces?

you deserve so much more subscribers

Thanks for your reviews of the $600 Artist AS72, John. A radius of 14inches sounds flat for a vintagey-styled guitar. Do you notice any increased fatigue playing rhythm when you use it compared to the more rounded 9.5's or 11's that you play? Or is it more that it just has a different feel? Any additional thoughts you have on the AS72's flatter radius would be welcome. Thanks - enjoy your videos.

GIBSON

Great review, really appreciate your fair unbiased opinion. On that note I ordered the 15th anniversary Obsidian last year, should arrive in early February, looking forward to playing it.

I use the focus switch on mine to dial back an acoustic tone, great playing!

I bought the early version Revstar 420. Love it. The only issue was the intonation on the low E. But I've fixed it by reversing the bridge saddle. Great guitar...a keeper

I can't get on with my Revstar Standard. I can't fault its quality - the intonation is faultless and it's amazing value for the price - but alone among all my guitars it simply makes my hand ache to play. I loved the idea of it and I've given it every chance I can, but I just don't enjoy playing it. I've bought all my guitars in the hope they'll be "keepers", but sadly I'm struggling to find a reason to hang on to the Revstar.

👍🏻👍🏻

Is the neck width wider in the Artist? I read that it is and wondered if it's a bit harder to play those chords that use the thumb wrappe around to the low E.

Thanks for the review! I've wanted a comparison between the Artist signature range and a Fender series guitar. I'm happy to see the Artist guitars seem to be high quality, at a much better price point.

What about ergonomic?

i have the exact same Player ll Strat and love it. Well played and demoed

Thanks for the review mate!

random question, is this an original song you used to compare guitars. really liked it

Very Cool, Thankyou. Awesome looking, Sounding Guitars and Demo/Review comparison video. I have the older Artist Guitars ST62 Fiesta Red Strat, and it's amazing. These newer 'up spec'd' Artist Guitars range must be Exeptional guitars as all my other ones are fantastic. Have my eye on one of the Latest Range Artist Guitars .... or 2 .. or 3 ... or 4 .... lol. And Also seriously have fallen for The Fender Player II Strat in the Hailea Yellow, Maple FretBoard, aged plastics ... Stunning .... I reckon anyway ..... Oh .. Or The Birch Green is catching my eye too now. lol. Gotta start saving..... and maybe even pass on The Artist Guitars to get A Fender (my first). All the Best. Cheers

👍🏻👍🏻

Revstar wins

Funky cleans Fender, everything else Revstar

This video is quite timely. quit playing live years ago, but band are reforming, I always used Les pauls in the band, but only have a strat these days. So convinced myself I need a humbucker equipped guitar for the material we cover. I really want a gibson LP but they are £2000 upwards here in the UK. Being a family man with not much dough i think my conscience would be clear getting the Yamaha and a nice valve combo and still only paying half the Gibson would cost, I was worried it wouldnt do a job for me, but your video says it will be close enough, and I have heard the yamaha are well built and play well. Ill be going for a standard revstar, great video fellla many thanks.

Yamaha Japan makes fantastic instruments. Really the only thing holding me back from getting a Revstar is the body shape. I know that's superficial, but its huge, which makes it look clunky IMO compared to the sleeker Les Paul. Both are great sounding instruments though. Thank you for this demo.

I don't really even play much anymore but I've been so intrigued by the Revstar, I'd just buy it and let it sit there and only play it once a week (if I could afford to do silly things like that). I appreciate your brief, extremely simple no-bullshit comparisons. Most videos have way too much talking and jrking off taking farrrrr too long showing off their guitar skills rather than letting the guitars speak for themselves.

The Gibson sounds nicer imo

Very helpful comparison. Thanks for this, sir! ❤

Putting in a request three doors down, kryptonite

No way you put it together yourself

Go Johnny

It helps that the person has some talent and no's how to play 😮

I want a Revstar Professional but i dont like the colors and i want one in Black with white racing stripes :P With P90 and a Humbucker sadly dont know how to order it custom without voiding warranty.

How many guitars do you own my guy? Sick riff by the way

I like both but the Gibson is better

O cara com as guitarras de 5.000 reais e a casa dele não tem reboco...

Timmy was fullest I think. Cool comparison

One of each please

The humbucker sounds muddy to my ears. I would go with the P90 if I do decide to finally get an electric. Thanks!

Exactement ce qu'il me fallait. Merci !

Yamaha plays much better and sound is subjective

They both sound good although I like the sound of the LesPaul better at times. It sounds brighter.

hi John, can you please confirm whether the frededges are rolled ? thank you

There's no answer as guitar would suit a different song better. 😎

I've a Thinline, but Cabronita sound better for me.

This guy obviously has more money than talent. He owns some very nasty guitars but he’s sure doesn’t play very well.

Is this guy really a guitarist? If so he is not very good

What you forgot to mention is the Gibson is 3.5 times more expensive.
