Thanks for your comment. The purpose of the video is to show some sounds of the guitar rather than my skills. And despite terrible playing the guitar is amazing I assure. BTW - why would you turn off comments on your videos if you like judgmental approach?

That sounds like a very cool project, good luck with it!

@@stringtaste Thank you!

muchas gracias, ¡manito!

@ de nada, ¡un placer! ✌️❤️🎸

Thanks Davey! We owe them to you!🥰

@@michelangelodegregorio alder body, wenge neck

@@Havanacuba1985 japanese Tylers are 11” radius. USA made are 10-12”compound radius.

If I remember it correctly after that time, it's a bit different. K-Line neck doesn't feel thin but somehow to me it felt more like Fender soft-V, thickness was focused around the middle of the neck. Fender's Oval C has quite thick wings (sides of the neck), while the middle feels rather flat. I'm not a huge fan of oval C, K-Line felt much more comfy to me (in fact, to this time, it's one of the best strats I tried)

Great, thanks a lot! Exactly what I was hoping. I’m looking for a 60s style strat, but with a 50s style neck. To me the typical oval C always felt super flat. Thanks for confirming, and remembering 1 year after your video! 😅

@@felomaldo5526 one of the best guitars ever❤️

@@lousekoya1803 you are welcome!

@@stringtaste Hey !!

That's the 2017 model. I think it's at least on the same level as the standard USA Fender Telecaster. The quality is excellent, the fret job is spot on, no defects on the paint job, and solid hardware. Pickups are serious rock shotguns - I wouldn't complain about it.

The guitar is in our store, String Taste in Kraków, Poland. You can check it on our website: stringtaste.com/products/dilalla-pink-sparkle Write us an email or on Instagram/Facebook if you're interested - we'll get it shipped to you anywhere in the world :)

for the price, it better is a really really super good guitar.

gibson is a guitar with gibson on the headstock. a gibson without the name gibson on the headstock is called an epiphone. a maybach is a gibson without the name gibson on the headstock but same price as it would have the name gibson on headstock.. i put the name maybach on headstock of my gibson, just for theft protection.

Gibson is a Heritage copy. Heritage is in the original factory.

I didn't notice it at the moment but might be true!

It is! Thank you!

Well you know, we tried! :D

Oh man, thank you so much for that input! I didn't know that, actually this was the very first sit-in with the amp. The way it transforms is insane.

exactly! Very much!

Thank you for bringing this! As everything in the guitar world - this is very individual. Knowing the market and our customers, they value Gibson CS guitars high. This particular model is really well made, lightweight and resonates as properly built guitar. Has the dynamics and tones necessary for profesional players and it's up to one's decision if it's worth or not. The beauty of high-end guitar market is that there are so many quality brands out there and we're able to choose.

@@stringtaste Comparison to Knaggs Kenai? Thanks!

thank you!

Yeah!

Come to the dark side, we have chocolate (and cookies)!

Nope, just a Gotoh 2-point tremolo with a properly cut nut. That's what you pay for in boutique guitars :)

Thank you Marcin and Kasia for supporting us so much! We love you too <3

Różnica nawet bez podłączania jest wyczuwalna. Głównie bierze się z zupełnie innego rezonansu i kompresji obu gitar. Custom sprawia wrażenie bardzo potężnej i mocno kompresującej, dźwięk Maybach jest lżejszy, więcej oddechu. To się potem dokładnie przekłada na wzmacniacz, ale tak jak piszesz - same pickupy tutaj też bardzo dużo wnoszą. Custom ma je o wiele mocniejsze i rockowe.

Hello Cecil! Thank you for watching! You are totally right, we realized that a bit later on. The latest guitar battles are being recorded this way, check out for example the ES-335 comparison video: th-cam.com/video/BOHHatv35z8/w-d-xo.html

The Anderson Guitarwork makes their own pickups. This guitar had TV1/TV3 set. From my experience, recent Suhrs are darker, with more compression / slower attack. Andersons on the other hand have a very, very pronounced midrange and are more responsive. But that's just my take :) Thank you for watching!

dzięki!

Definitely 1989 is more powerful. 1989 has Bill Lawrence pickups and they are hotter. But also 1989 has more bottom end punch in general.

I agree with you. I have the 1989 model and the pickups are far too hot for my taste. I did email Gibson and asked for more info on the pickups. I had a reply saying they were PAFs.

It's a replica for sure. Still has nothing to be ashamed of when put against a Gibson.

@@stringtasteit needs to be compared like for like. Tokai vs Maybach. The Gibson is in another league. It just is.

@@aliengrey6052thats just esoteric nonsense, honestly. Nowaday Gibsons are just copies of old Gibsons as well - and famously a LOT of them were not even very good at that. The Maybachs get made by czech artisans, in regions and coming from traditonal luthiership that goes back hundreds of years, they use nitro lacquer and top notch parts and when ordering from a dealer who has a relationship with them you can custom-order a few specs (like neckshape and relicing / fretboard edge rolling) with close to no mark-up in pricing. You basically get Custom Shop treatment for mass manifatured prices. You can compare them to the absolute top japanese built guitars, but not to modern tokais (which are mass produced in chinese or indonesian factories with the usual less expansive specs like poly lacquer).

@@ithemba I got two gibsons. I’ve had all the copies tokai ect. None of em have that gibsons sound.

@@aliengrey6052 Yes and no. Two les pauls can sound very different from one another in the first place, and "copies" or replicas can also sound very different too since there's a broad variety of manufacturers, pickups etc but even Gibsons come in different flavours. That being said having owned some Gibsons in the past and being the owner of a '21 LPC BB I feel there's a tone that my previous non Gibson LPs never had, not that they necessarily sounded bad just a bit different, as if Gibsons had a specific tonal signature which the realistic person in me just doesn't wanna buy into, I could see it being a placebo. Gibsons do have a certain feel though that the other brands don't really replicate and that is also different from a USA to a CS for example. Before 2019 most Gibsons had very questionable QC and that is still occasionally the case and I'll say it's rare to find a perfect one. But they do have a vibe and I feel like if you like les pauls you kinda need at least one nice Gibson, otherwise you'll always gonna be longing for it. I know I did and I'm happy I got into Gibsons and that I now have the LPC which is very good but not perfect QC wise, but it's a fantastic playing and sounding guitar especially for me who is mainly a japanese ESP enthusiast therefore used to high quality guitars. My next LP will be a Standard of some form since I miss having one, looking for a decently priced but nice used one so it could be a Trad or a Classic or even a non Gibson like a Maybach.

thank you!

Hey! Thank you for watching! That's a very good point, I definitely agree :)

My Maybach Lester 60s was purchased new in May 2023. It is chambered. I'm not sure how the "Maybach aren't weight-relieved" rumor got started but it's untrue; they are indeed weight-relieved. 👍

I can only tell you what I felt but knocking the wood. To my ear, it was chambered. Maybach doesn't provide that much reliable info on the transition (France -> Czechia) period, so I would just trust my ears on that. Nevertheless - it is an amazing guitar, plays like a dream!

@@ScotticusZ The 2021 Lester honey pie I bought used off Reverb weighs 8.1lbs. and is NOT chambered, has a long neck tenon, and the maple top is amazing. I think some are chambered and some aren't...?

@@pharmerdavid1432That's certainly possible, and after reading your response I'm not as confident in my own answer anymore. I've read that Maybach has a strict "maximum weight" on the guitars they offer -- perhaps only those that are naturally above weight are relieved to compensate? Who knows.

Please consider this video, a Maybach factory tour from 2017, at 1m:59s: th-cam.com/video/_ViKRfXpvnU/w-d-xo.html

Nickel, full spec can be found here: stringtaste.com/en/products/suhr-standard-pro-s3

It is a bit jazzy blues:)

We got the guitar second hand and we always do setup

It really depends on your needs. As a collector’s piece and for uniqueness of sound - maybe. As an instrument qualitywise - they are totally different, not better or worse.

Gibson les Paul classics are amazing and cheaper than the Maybach.

@@aliengrey6052 maybach is a czech product. so compare it to mex fender or china epiphone, but maybe with the european upcharge. I am happy with the asian guitars, the moment i have problem with this, i will look at made in usa. Or germany as we have wonderful luthiers in germany.

@@toledo2983 just purchased two Tokai Japanese sg and LS136 les Paul’s. I have three gibsons I love as well.

@@toledo2983 yes that’s true.

thanks!

This one the guess is wrong. It’s the intro of Incognito’s version of „Still a friend of mine”. Try again!😅
