- The story of Brad Paisley's Christmas present to me, the ensuing effort on my part to reciprocate, how it led to a new Dr. Z amp, and a further push for Celestion to make a higher wattage alnico speaker. #askzac #guitartech #telecaster
Wonderful story Zac . Those were great times . Zac you and Brad are very special to me, Happy Holidays, DR.Z
OH MY! So honored that you took the time to watch, Z. That was a really special time, and I can't thank you enough for making my job easier, and frankly that much more fun.
This was awesome. Please more Dr Z talks and stories!
Will do
What a wonderful story, Zac! Just hearing it 2 years later but still heartwarming!
Thanks for the shout out, friend! Congrats on wrapping year one of the channel!
Thank you again, amigo!
Merry Christmas to you and yours Zac! Great video, and love the shirt!
Same to you, Keith. I saw Star Wars in 1977, and have been a fan ever since.
Zac, Thank you for sharing this and all your words of wisdom and music, I'm looking forward to hearing more from you in 2021
More to come!
Wow Zac, I had no idea Brad painted either, let alone so well. Amazing that he thought enough of you to take the time to do that.
I like Dr Pepper too, and I think it tastes best in a can.
Great story. What an amazing talent Brad is in such a thoughtful gift he gave you. Especially The nice touch of adding the soda can.
You are kind man. Doesn't seem to hurt your guitar playing none. There's one in every crowd. Happy Holidays.
Merry Christmas!
Very kool story! Thanks for sharing. All the best
Thanks for watching
Praise the lord, discovering this channel is a highlight of 2020 who is with me
Merry Christmas!
AMEN
Merry Christmas Zac, and thank you for your contribution to the Brad Paisley, Dr Z collaboration. I first purchased the Z Wreck and then the DB4 and finally a used Maz 18, all combo amps and I pair one of them, depending on the size of the venue, with my '67 Fender Super Reverb. In my opinion Dr Z makes the best amplifiers in today's new amplifier market.
Thank you for sharing this story, and you are a helluva story teller, which is always that much easier when its all true!
I have been able to brighten the day of a few people by just sharing this video.
Thank you, Sir.
Merry Christmas and God Bless
Thank you so much!
Merry Christmas Maestro. Thank you so much all the dedication, knowledge and pure joy :-)

Merry Christmas, Zac, and to those who love your work!
Thank you kindly!
I'm so happy to be a part of your community, Zac. You're the real deal and you never fail to tell an interesting story. This Christmas story and Brad's painting (who knew?) was one of the best. Have a very Merry Christmas, Zac. 🙏
Merry Christmas! And Thank you!
Wow, what a special gift.
Thanks Zac and a Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Zac and to all the guitarist, have a great Christmas everybody.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Zac. Ive been enjoying your channel for almost a year now. Great stories and content. My daughter got the guy who has a ton of gear a 3 string cigar box guitar. What cool gift. So greatfull family and friends. Heres hoping for a return to some what normal for 2021. Really miss just going to hear some live music.
A great gift!!
Merry Christmas, Zac.......discovering your videos this year has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise miserable year.
I love the Dr Z story, and it reminded me a little of an amp guy I used to use 20+ years ago. He was very talented at "reviving" old amps, and he kind of specialized in taking old, decrepit amps and re-building them into something great but totally different. He loved to take an old Silvertone Twin Twelve (you know, the Model 1484) and gutting them.....and cloning something like a Tweed Twin or Vibrolux. He often said you may see an artist on stage with a recognizable amp.....but you never knew for sure what the "guts" were in that amp. I have an old Lafayette PA amp head, that is basically a Tweed Deluxe circuit inside. Now, when I see someone using an amp onstage, I don't always assume it's a stock, factory model. Anyway.....best wishes for the new year!!!!!!
Happy New Year!
@@AskZac It's gotta be better than 2020.....right?
Merry Christmas, Zac! Excellent channel!

Happy new year! Cool gear
As someone who had a 2x12 combo Prescription ES, I can definitely relate to not being able to use it in certain rooms! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for the great videos. You've inspired me to explore the tele world.
Go for it!
Cool story Zac :) ✨🦌🎄
Great story. I had a Celestion Gold speaker retrofitted to a Cornell Voyager 20 combo (fitted with 2 x 6V6 tubes), which I used for a few years and once lent to Larry Carlton. I was once telling John Jorgenson about the Gold and that he should check it out, but to my surprise he told me that he actually had quite a lot to do with the design of the Gold speaker - it could even have been a signature speaker but it never happened that way. I understand that John now uses a Celestion Ruby (or four!).
John told me that the sig speaker came to a halt. And I think Weber selling tons of 50-watt alnicos made Celestion restart the project. Too bad John didn't get any credit.
Thanks for being a great part of my year. Best wishes for you.
Happy new year!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year from Germany!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from TN!!
Belated merry Christmas and a happy new year. Great video
Thank you! You too!
Merry Christmas Zac
Great story! I actually bought the Prescription ES purely because I was such a BP fan. It was a red 2x12 combo I found at the Nashville Guitar Center. It would shake the freaking walls!!! Incredible amp. I just should have gotten a lower watt house friendly amp. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Zac!
Thank you for the great story!
Welcome!
Merry Christmas Zac! Great video! I own the red and blond Stingray #001 that used to be owned by Brad! Great amp!
Very cool!
Merry Christmas Zac! Such a nice story. Do you still talk with Brad often? I bet he would love this channel.
We do still talk. He really liked my interview with Jorgenson for the Lounge.
Great story. Funny how just one act of kindness can sometimes trigger so many other good things. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Same to you!
Picture was VeryCooL !!! Also the Z’s are just the best, I really love the Sparkle I get even at living room level, StangRay/Mazaratti/Zwrek , Don’t think Dr.Z has made an amp that I wouldn’t like !!!
Oh almost ForGoT does Brad still think he’s SPECIAL ??? Haven’t seen a text from them lately .
Love hearing your stories Zac. Hope you had a good holiday with your family & loved ones. Take care!
I bought a used Dr Z Prescription ES head years ago...a red one. I ordered a matching red 212 Dr Z cabinet and holy cow - I've never to this day played an amp that sounds as good with single coil pickups. The shop I used to bias & re-tube my amps was trying to buy it from me for that reason. Eventually I sold it for a more manageable Dr Z Maz 18 Jr 112 combo that I still own and enjoy.
They are killer amps!
So generous of you to share this story! Thank you for all the work you do. We are blessed! I hope that you and your loved ones are enjoying beautiful moments and wish you to double (if not more) your subscriptions. As for me and as I mentioned it before, my goal this year will be to get my hands on a Telecaster. I'm back at work, it will be a slow recovery but heck, I will make this dream come true. Needless to say that your channel is an inspiration and a great source of info. Thank you for everything M. Zac.
You are so very welcome!
Merry Christmas! Great painting! Also; who on Earth doesn’t love John Jorgenson? I got a pair of those Weber VST Blue Bulldogs in my Don Butler (The Toneman) tweaked early Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker Combo RI. Just heard about that car bomb going off in Nashville, stay safe.
I am safe. Thanks. Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays! Still have my Tremelo before my Overdrive because of your food for thought video. I’m keeping it that way because it sounds great to me. I’m just a simple pedal steel dude though. I’m sure actual guitarists have their reasons to do otherwise.
Happy holidays!
Great story, Zac! I discovered your channel this year and it's become one of my faves. Keep it up :)
Thanks! Will do!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Merry Christmas Zack, I have really enjoyed your stories and insights. Looking forward to another year of them. In particular I really enjoyed your guitar effects show with your petals.
I'll do more in that direction
Merry Christmas Zac!! Another great video and story. Keep them coming sir. Will play some extra DRB vids these days. 👍🏻🎄Nice mentioning these Westwood one radio recordings. Got two vinyl LP’s from them.

Great story! Thanks for everything Zac! You're episodes have been a wonderful blessing in a crazy year. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Happy New Year, Cody
I picked up an RX Jr while visiting Nashville years ago at The Rock Block because of Brad's tone. The Jr is "only" 15 watts, but it was still stinkin' loud! Merry Christmas Zac & family, and thank you for sharing your life with us!
THANK YOU!!!
Merry Christmas Zach to you and your family! Love your Channel!
Thanks so much!

Thanks! Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas Zak. Thank you for brining joy to our world this year!

Merry Christmas to you and your family Zac, cool story. Our prayers go out to everyone who has been effected by the tragedy in Nashville.
I am safe. Thank you. Happy New Year!!
Merry Christmas, Zac! Congratulations on the growth of your channel! You have no idea how much I look forward to watching your videos. We have very similar tastes and many of the same heroes.

Wow, thank you! Love your handle
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
Cool painting!
Thank you! Cheers! and Merry Christmas!
This channel is amazing. I feel like I'm listening to it on an old radio. It's almost meditative.
Wow, thank you!
Merry Christmas Zac! Ask Zac was one of the best parts of 2020 👍🏻
Merry Christmas! Thanks!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Zac! Grateful for you and what you share. It’s been a blessing.

From Leo: Merry Christmas Zac, Thanks for in the info, the stories and the entertainment.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Thank you Zac... Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you Zac, thanks for all the videos this year, I really enjoy your storytelling. Best wishes to you and your family for a good 2021. Take care.....
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Zac. This channel has been a highlight in what was a pretty dismal year.
Glad to hear
Merry Christmas Zac; playing on my Christmas treat to myself, Wampler Paisley drive, just love what is does for a Tele. Love the EQ selector switch. Be another good episode. Also now interested in a Esquire with Brad’s secret agent option, good 2021 project. Church band got back up and running late October and we did Eve Mass last night, so fun to be playing in a group again.
This is eerie for me because I literally have a red Tele with a white pickguard and my wife for Christmas this year got me a....wait for it.... AC30! Therefore if you ever need to get rid of that painting I can make it a logical home. LOL! Merry Christmas dude!
You have the real deal!!!
@@AskZac No doubt! It sounds GLORIOUS with my Tele AND 335 and my Strat too. The people that say AC30's don't take pedals well are crazy! It's like Billy Gibbons, Jimmy Page, Brad Paisley, and Brian May can all come over for a jam session. They're the best amps ever I say.
How cool is it to wake up Christmas morn to an episode of " Ask Zac" ?!?!?! Thx Santa ;)
Hope you enjoyed it!
Merry Christmas!! Congrats on growing the channel. Your videos are informative and a pleasure to watch. I also enjoy yout interviews in truetone podcast. Thanks for sharing with us your experience and knowledge.
You are so welcome
Yes Merry Xmas Zac Was wondering if you were familiar with the Oxford gold alnicos Vox was using in the early 70s Dr Z is one of the best builder's Good stuff 👍
I don't know those speakers. Are they good?
John Jorgenson is the best- and he's just such a great guy. Last time I saw him which was at a J2B2 bluegrass gig about six years ago. I asked him if, as he lived in Nashville he could do me a favour and he said he would try. I asked him if he could get Mandy Barnett to come to the UK. John said, "I know her but not as well as Jon Randall- ask him". So I did, and he's another really great guy but Mandy has not been over, which is a shame. She said she had played Belfast- but that's on the other island!
Mandy is amazing!
@@AskZac I bought the album "The Art of the Archtop" just over eight years ago- I was listening to it and then on track three, an amazing female vocalist blew me away with her version of "Love Me Or Leave"- my first introduction to Mandy and I have been a huge fan ever since! She did play just one gig in England back in 2012 which is the year I first heard her on that CD. Bill Kirchen played that festival and he told me although he had not heard of her before, she blew him away as well. In my opinion she's the very best. Merry Christmas Zac- and a Happy 2021.
Here's that song that made me a big fan: music.th-cam.com/video/_TqEMd_tKAg/w-d-xo.html
Merry Christmas, Zac! What a great year for your channel. Much success in 2021! Was the Dano in your intro sold? You need to re-shoot it with the '57! haha.
Yes, that Dano is sadly gone. I should redo the intro.
