I appreciate that. You’re right though, there is no replacing the original. Not even close. Everytime I hear it I still can’t believe how good it is. The rare perfect song.

I appreciate that man.

Yeah, ran out of guitars to demo haha. Although now that I picked the acoustic back up, now I want to demo all the acoustics. I can’t win.

@@swain99 Thank you sir.

@@tomusic8887 It’s an asset. At least that’s what I told the wife to justify blowing the kid’s college fund on it.

Your wisdom proceeds you buddy! Hell I may just stack 2 or 3 of them sumbitches right on top of one another. Reach into another dimension for that stank.

FB Marketplace if I remember right. Got a great deal on it and it was far from excellent physical condition. Lotta checking on the back. I sold it for 1300 a few months later. o

I appreciate it man. Just trying to do my part.

Smart. Very smart.

Thanks! The Sheraton is such a great guitar. I regret selling that one but it was a business decision. I’m selling a few other guitars and buy another Sheraton and never get rid of it. I love that guitar.

Because Eddie’s was painted I guess. I never really considered doing anything else I suppose.

I was a little shocked when I plated them together like that at how different they are. Played them both separately hundreds of times and always felt the difference, but never that profound.

Yea it’s crazy how an A - B test can show the differences.

I don’t believe so no.

Hell yeah. Thanks!

Nice

Best guitar there is for the money man!

Thanks! Bummer about your Gibson.

Yeah I agree. My thinking on this one is, dialing them in and comparing is kind of useless since the positions they sound best changes from guitar to guitar and amp to amp. My main hope in this vid is really just to give a general idea of what they sound like in comparison at the specific spots. Thats really the only constant I can achieve is position of gains and tone knobs. Its highly flawed for some purposes of comparison but has some merit for a few purposes. Thanks!

Excellent.

No real difference in playability that wouldn't be considered extremely subjective. I did like the R9 better in this case but those custom shop reissues all come off the line different from each other. I very well could pick up a different one and it not have the right feel to me personally. I actually know a guy that happened to. Paid like 6k for his dream R0 and just never felt like it had the right vibe in his hands. Sold it a year later. Guitars like that you just have to play and see what that specific one feels like.

@@GuitarlordJohnBurton very helpful advice! Thank you!

Thank you for your comment.

100%

Me too ha.

Yeah? And? Why would anyone compare apples to apples? They’re both apples. The whole point is to compare an apple to and orange and put the vast differences on blast so those who perhaps have had an apple but not an orange can become aware of said extreme differences. Apples to Oranges comparisons are probably more used in guitaring than apples to apples. Gibson vs Fender. Fender vs Marshall etc. It isnt until someone has eaten all the fruits that Tube Screamer 808 vs Tube Screamer Keely Mod becomes all the relevant. You are correct about the potato though.

@@GuitarlordJohnBurton I can help you with that question. More people are trying to decide between one apple over another than one of the 7800+ species of apples over a specific species of oranges. Apparently, you are one of the few that find a video comparing two different style pedals dialed settings that no guitar player ever uses. Maybe these pedals are both new to you and this was somehow helpful to you. If so, that’s great. Myself and so many others are simply pointing out that this is not the type of video most guitar players are just dying to watch more of.

All of your comments are nitpicky 😂 must be a miserable existence

More like a mocha latte vs Maxwell House black coffee. Although very different, still the same general product category of bean based beverage but I get your point. For it to be as you described I would have pitted the Tumnus guitar pedal Vs a pack of Big League Chew from the 80’s. Which I would do except I already ate all the Big League Chew. Still top 5 chewing gums ever invented in my opinion and when considering the marketing? Forget about it. It knows no equal. Making a cheap gum shaped like chewing tobacco and selling to kids so they can be like their idols who were chewing actual tobacco was brilliant. Come to think of it, I wouldn’t doubt if Big Tobacco actually owned and developed Big League Chew as a way to get the youth to start thinking about using mouth tobacco. Like a gateway product. Now I want some Big League Chew. Alright, thanks for the comment, Im gonna go find some Big League Chew. Rock On!!!

My pleasure. Thanks.

Never a bad decision!

On my better days. I appreciate it.

I want to be buried with it.

I love the Sheraton more than what it legally permitted in a lot of countries. Best guitar I played in 2023.

@@GuitarlordJohnBurton 😄

I love that guitar way more than I legally should be allowed to.

Thanks!!!

Will do. I played their whole line at NAMM a few years ago and enjoyed them. Such an interesting brand. Plus, when they gave out T shirts I noticed they sprung for the really soft cotton blend. I respect that and still wear the shirt.

Balls vs noise. The eternal struggle of guitar players.

Nice

FB Marketplace. Used.

@@GuitarlordJohnBurton Someone letting go a Trad for half its value, even private sale? Dubious at best.

@@RideAcrossTheRiver You can get those things all day under 1500 on Reverb.

@@GuitarlordJohnBurton False again. Lowest price is about $2,000. Is there a reason why you're fibbing?

Incorrect again pal. 1.) you clearly didn’t watch the video where it say they can go between 1000 and 2000 dollars depending on exact model. However, for this model, reverb sets the current valuation of the 2008-2011 Les Paul Traditional at between $1,271 and $1,983. There highest estimation doesnt even cross the 2k mark. In fact, out of the last 45 models that sold on Reverb only 3 of them sold for 2k with the majority falling around 1500 and yes a few, in “good” condition hitting 1300 or below. Being as how if you sell a guitar on reverb for 1300 they’re taking 100 in fees and you have to deal with shipping it etc, it is entirely reasonably to think someone would part with one for less than the 1200 they’d take home on reverb through FB or craigslist or wherever in cash. That also with the fact that I bought this years ago in a softer market. So Im not sure how you’re not seeing prices lower than 2k on Reverb but you may want to contact them because they’ve clearly targeted your computer for a scam to get you to over pay for gear.

You mean a circuit graphic design on the pickguard?

I appreciate that!
