    Great video! These models are so nice! I have a pre-production/testrun AMV10A that slightly differs from most with a fatter neck and a slightly different relic/paint job. I was so happy with it I bought a 2017 AS73 (right before they changed to uninspiring tonewoods) that had been in its case all its life. It comes with the same pickups so I decided to swap them out for Seth Lovers. And, omg, that guitar sings now: it really came alive. So... With that in mind I put a pair of BKP mules (that came out of a LP and happened to have aged nickel covers) in the AMV10A. It sounds absolutely stellar now: it really went from great to magical! I sold my vintage ES-335... That is how good these guitars are! For good measure I put a new wiring harness and a bone nut on both guitars. The pickups are more than twice the price of what I paid for the guitars... The look on people's faces when I use it in the studio or on a stage is priceless though: they go from "Meh, what a POS" to "Whoah, that sounds good!". Great playing BTW: it really highlights what these are capable of!

      How frustrating, sounds like a burr in the saddle to me? Those tunomatic saddles and bridges are hard on strings if you play hard anyway, but if there is the slightest sharp point in the slot you’ll break them frequently for sure. Take it to your preferred luthier, or if you’re handy perhaps you have a file small enough to pull across the slot a time or two. Usually doesn’t take much, and careful Not to remove too much material.

    Hello, I just got this guitar a few days ago. I got it set up today. Apparently the previous owner was a jazz player as he put 11 guage flatwound strings on it. They were heavy when I played and very hard to bend which is why i took it in to get set up. Well the guy put 10 guage roundwounds on it. When I brought it home and really spent time with it the playing sounded really twangy. Did you ever have this problem, and what would you recommend that I do to fix the issue. Other than the twangyness I really love this guitar.

    • @smokeymtnguitarnerd2539
      @smokeymtnguitarnerd2539 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m happy to help you try to figure this out, friend. “Twangy” is hard to diagnose without hearing for myself. I can tell you that brand new, smaller gauge, round wound strings predictably would sound significantly brighter than the flats. So, I’m not entirely sure something is wrong as much as it’s just such a departure from what it sounded like when you got it. Worth mentioning: not all set ups are created equal. So, if it’s “buzzy” as in excessive fret buzz (a little here and there isn’t terribly abnormal) then the strings are too close to the fretboard. Can you post and link a vid for me to check out? We’ll get to the bottom of it together :)

      Hey man, it's more comparable Gibby neck to be honest. Kind of beefy, but not overly so, and still easy enough to play. Flat fingerboard (as apposed to radiused Fender style). Think of it as a poor man's 335. I haven't messed with the D'angelico jazz boxes yet, but I've been nothing but impressed with everything else I've messed with in that price range. I can't see anyone being unhappy with one of those, either (in fact, I came close to getting one when on sale, but ultimately the nostalgia of an Ibanez hollowbody from my younger days sold me on this one). Hope this helps :)

    I purchased this guitar new in 2015-16? I never really played it much and thought it sounded kind of plain. I also felt the relicing was slightley overdone. I was recently in the market for a Gibson ES 335 and couldn't find a new one anywhere and then remembered this guitar. Took it out of the closet and played it through my British version Laney Lionheart HT-5 and my jaw dropped. After rolling back the tone on the bridge pickup and turning up the volume knob I couldn't believe my ears, Bottom line. I hate to say, for me this is probably my best-sounding guitar and the neck fits my hand perfectly. I have since gotten to really like the vintage look. I am a tone hound and have a few Gibsons, Traditional and Standards, PRS, Suhr, Fender, Schecter, Charvelle etc amongst about 30 guitars and maybe 20 amps that I currently own...yes, i am a bedroom player (played in a band in the 70's)...so I have a lot of instruments to compare it with and no lie...this is the one...at least for me. Makes me kind of feel bad because I personally like 3 of my Les Pauls the best but this one sounds and feels better under my fingers. :(

      The amp I have paired this guitar with is a Laney Lionheart L5T-112 which has a single 12" greenback speaker...open back. This amp is the made in England version with built in spring reverb (not the digital reverb model that goes by the same name and model number). The amp is only a few yrs old but it was the first amp that I was able to dial in a good tone using the Ibanez . I have the amp set up in the master bedroom's walk in bathroom and I sit in the bedroom to the side of the open door when I play my guitar. The walls help cut down the volume slightly and the amp sounds fantastic from that point and distance. The 5 watt Laney has now become my goto amp but I can make the ASV sound just as good through most of my other amps Supro, Fender, Marshall and the like.

    Great review and playing. I'm an older newbie learning player with more cash than talent, so I have a lot of nice guitars I can't play, including 2 Gibsons - a 339 and a 390 (smaller body at 14" lower bout, closer to the AMV's 14.75"), that I spent about $2k apiece on. One of the reasons I have too many guitars is because I, as a "senior" adult, want to try lots of different specs/sounds to see what works for me, seeing as I don't have all that many years left to discover what body size, style, scale, radius, neck profile, sound, etc. do/don't work best for me, while I learn to play. The goal is to experience a lot quickly, focus on what I need, then sell the rest. I also have a ASV10A (same as AMV10A, except for body size) that I bought (new, for $400) as a less expensive way to try (1) the larger body (15.75" compared to the 14" 339 size - the ASV is still 3/4" shy of a 335's 16.50") and the thicker neck (about .90 at the 1st, so a fairly thick C, or maybe a U). The 339/390 have .85/.87 necks, and feel thinner. I don't know what neck thickness I *should* end up with, given the many theories about what's best about a particular neck for particular playing styles, hands, etc., but my inexperienced slow-playing medium hands love this thicker neck, and only "like" the Gibsons' more typical smaller C. While I like the Gibsons' 339 body size, the ASV, to my seated-only playing position, feels more "right" - not too big, not too small. I also love the Classic Elite pickups - they're medium-highish output for this type of guitar at 9.5k and 10k, but I wouldn't change them - they seem to handle everything from quiet low-tone cleans to medium-high distortion - very versatile, to me. I also like the finish - a nice satin, instead of a poly gloss that deadens the sound. Mine needed no fret leveling to get the action buzz-free at 3.5/64 (12th), though the G and B (plastic) nut slots could stand to be widened a bit. Fit/finish were otherwise excellent. The tuners, too, are reliced, but they strike me as lower quality, as they have more internal play than I've seen on better tuners. I'll wait to replace until they become problematic, if they do. The AMV/ASV10A doesn't look high-dollar, with its black plastic binding, but I think they did a good job on the relicing of the body/neck/hardware - surprising quality level at this price point. So, the AMV/ASV looks/feels good, it plays well, and it sounds great. I love it and am now trying to come up with reasons to keep the beautiful Gibsons - I'm leaning to "sell," but also don't want to let excellent guitars get away, in case my experience increases to the point of allowing me to better appreciate the Gibsons' qualities that may be escaping me now. At my experience level today, I do know that if I lost them all to a fire, I'd look for another ASV10A, rather than either of the Gibsons, which tells me something.

      @@baldtat You know what I'm talking about! Glad you liked the comment. In addition to my Gibson 339 and 390 (both are the same 339 size, 390's just fully hollow), I also have a '16 Epi 339 P90 PRO. It's lighter than the Gibson 339 at 6.5 pds, and the P90s sound great for what I play (I bought some takeoffs for a project). I love everything about it but Epi's Slim Taper D neck profile. I work with it, but I notice it. Love my Epi for different reasons, and it didn't cost me much. Enjoy yours!

      @@upload2352 I like your post. Not sure why but new Gibson ES335 and ES339's seem to be extinct at this point in time. For what its worth, they hold their value pretty well and unless you need the money now I would keep yours. The used price may be about the same 5 yrs from now as todays price so selling them some years down the road may not matter much...and you may change your mind as your playing progresses. Also if there is something particular you like ... color, tone etc that makes either unique then all the more reason not to sell. I Just purchased a 2020 Epihone ES 335 in Rasberry Burst just to see what Im missing since no Gibsons available...1st guitar I purchased in about 4 yrs and Im keeping it...though I wont be playing it a whole lot. It's Specs are close to a real Gibson and I really like the feel, tone and look. Either way I am pretty much playing/practicing with The ASV 10A-TCL most of the time. (Just realized this video is about the smaller version otherwise their shouldn't be whole lot of tone difference between models.) I dont see the ASV on the used market much , not many reviews out there, plus the guitars not worth much...but today I am treating mine like gold and as any other "high end" guitar because I dont want anything to happen to it. I feel that it's irreplacable. If yours feels right, gives the tones you crave and "INSPIRES" your playing I would do the same. :)

    Hello. Can i ask, what software you're using to edit? I like that the audio and video is already synched, but I'd like to edit the audio or bring in another video file. I can't find a step by step video, as if I'm supposed to know what's going on. Thanks... oh, and your playing is just fantastic. I'm a bass player.

      Gerry926 Hi there, thanks for watching. This was edited using Filmora Wondershare. I bought a lifetime license a few years ago (like $100?) and it’s served me adequately enough. It has all the bells and whistles for my video editing needs. As far as audio, it has some basic functionality like Noise reduction, panning, EQ, fades etc. hope this helps! And thank you so much for the kind words on the playing ❤️
