eric please, you’re spoiling us with so much consistently good content, it’s killing me i can only handle so much good content p.s that guitar is a god damned beauty and the tone on it is monstrous
@Audioslave_Fanfor nirvana stuff he stays true to kurt and uses a tortex orange 60mm, but in this video from what i can see he uses a tortex 1.14. picking technique isnt something i can say definiely but he seems to be playing pretty close to the bridge here.
@@NirvanaGuitarsabsolutely man, was nice to see buddy holly and stuff like the beatles on ur channel instead of just on insta, wed be down for vids about ur other tastes too :)
@@NirvanaGuitarsLove to see some grunge style renditions of "Peggy Sue" etc. I can see you doing it tasteful. I'm typing this while you're playing "drain you" with the alnico 5...WOW!!!Sounds Great.
@@NirvanaGuitarshey Eric! I’m a HUGE fan of Blink-182, Tom DeLonge is the guitarist and nobody does tones and guitars just like you! Instead of Nirvana, can you take a look at my two favorite Blink eras: Dude Ranch and Enema of the State. For the guitars can you look at Tom’s white sticker strat and his seafoam green Strat in Enema. Hope you can do it for use blink fans
It’s the Eric signature Strat!!!! Congrats man on another new guitar! As a fellow guitarist it feels absolutely amazing to get that dream guitar that can do it all! Jeff did an amazing job with it!!!!
Hey Eric. Back in the summer when I was getting into my guitar addiction. A guy in my small town sold me a squire Strat with a 3 single coil pickup look. It was nasty and gross. The neck wasn’t attached. There was no strings but I didn’t care. It was $100 and I planned to turn it into the vandalism Strat. But once I cleaned it and put duct tape on it. I couldn’t. It was too beautiful with that black on black body/pickguard and white pickups. I cleaned it and attached the neck. Put strings on it. And it is my most played and favorite guitar. I call her Monica Monroe and she to me played way too good to be a squire so I sanded the brand and put a fender decal on it. It’s my dream guitar and the guitar I will practice and play the most.
So happy for you finally having your dream guitar, it's an absolute beast!! It sounds really unique, unlike anything i've heard on your channel before. It growls on the cleans and roars with the Colossus & SansAmp, such a fierce sound... this guitar means business! Great stuff man.
Great video Eric! 👏👏👏 Pleasantly surprised to see you playing some Antônio Carlos Jobim 🇧🇷 I'm also a massive Beatles fan and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is one of my favourite songs.
Really enjoyed this video! It was very nice to see what you like outside of Nirvana and also the strat itself is super dope. Your playing is also really nice too, thank you Eric :)
That guitar is an absolute beast,tone wise and aesthetic wise 😳 You can really hear the 59N in that Custom 5,but you can also hear that signature humbucker fatness in it too!
15:09 The Beatles and Nirvana are two of my biggest inspirations for playing guitar. I would love to hear you play more Beatles songs but with Nirvana tones.
Dude please do more of these kinds of videos!!! You have a great ear for tones so any guitar will always be interesting!! Love you dude and wish you luck
The guitar sounds and looks awesome, it's nice hearing you play stuff outside of the Nirvana realm, props to Jeff for the outstanding work on this model!
Man, everything on that guitar makes it so perfect. The black on black with the white pickups, it just brings everything together. And whatever the thing at 10:23 was, I love it.
sup eric! so, for how you’re describing you ideal tone, i think you’ll really like jack white’s 2002 tone! jangly on cleans yet pretty bass heavy, and a big muff
By far one of your best videos ever Eric, thank you for sharing your personal taste, and congrats on your dream guitar, cant wait to hear your new material ✌🏻🤘🏻😎
Would love to see more of your guitars in the future it's really interesting that you are showing this guitar maybe a song or some type of riff or your own would be amazing
It's a beautiful guitar. I love guitars with the headstock in the same color. The chosen electronics sound great and give you great versatility. Now just enjoy it.
Omg I literally bought that same guitar, but from Andertons in the UK, I took the humbucker out and replaced it with a black seymour jb. I hang it on my wall and looks awesome happy you found your dream guitar btw
I like these type of videos. Thanks for all the work you put into them. Great tones. That new custom 5 is the best sounding bridge I’ve heard yet on your channel
What an absolute beauty of a guitar. I love the all black except the neck back, hardware, and pickups look. So clean. The neck blend knob is a very unique feature. Most people i've seen do a mod like that for strats tend to put the middle pickup on a blend or separate switch and then use a 3 way blade switch for their main pickup selecter, but that never lets them use just the middle pickup without other wiring shenanigans, and it doesn't allow them to blend how much neck pickup they want with their bridge pickup. I think for me, because i almost never use a tone knob, i'd wire all 3 pickups to push push volume pots so i can blend all 3 how i want and take any combination of the 3 out of the circuit entirely with a slap of the pot. I'm excited to see that Mustang idea come to fruition.
Wow absolutely stunning a mixed strat that has Kurt’s tone and Buddy Holly’s tone too awesome 🤟🏽 my band mates are still practicing but so far we are getting better and better 🤟🏽
What an awesome guitar! I've never seen one with a push-pull single-coil to humbucker switch like that, extremely unique! Also as a sidenote, I know there was a previous video about alternative sansamp pedals and the Joyo American Sound pedal was featured in that video, but I believe the best alternative on the market, at least for in utero studio tones, is the Joyo California Sound which is a mesa boogie sim similar to the vintage sansamp normal mode. you can even boost the mids like the vintage one or reduce them like the classic reissue. Great vid!
I really love this guitar, it’s probably now my favorite that you have, I already made almost my dream guitar, which is a hotrail in the bridge of a strat with vintera 60’s in the middle and neck, I can’t wait to see more of this guitar in the future, and try e mustang
My dream Fender is a Squire. 😊 EDIT: Yo, Eric. You ever check out early Modest Mouse? I was all about Nirvana in HS, and through Nirvana, also all about Pixies. I was jonesing for more music along those lines and Modest Mouse's 1996 - 2000 era scratched that itch so well they became my favorite band.
Wonderfull guitar Eric, congrats you deserve it! At the moment my only electric guitar is a Black on black mustang HH, would be even better with a matching headstock but i still struggle finding a guitar that i would like more than that :)
If you like bossa nova you will like the album Almendra, better known as Luis Alberto Spinneta, which is from 1970s, the song Bajan from his album Artaud is very good
Been waiting for you to play some Rise Against songs for while. Since you have you're own "custom" guitar now it'd be cool to see you make covers of non nirvana songs with it.
YOOO WE HAVE THE SAME GUITAR LOOK!.. the neck, the black headstock but it's not fender, it's cheap japanese brand called selders and it just looks the same as yours and they look really really great except my pickup colors were black SSH and a black stock volume and tone knobs.. now i'm confuse wether to customize it like vandal or just like yours.. lol
BUDDY HOLLY!! One of my fav strat players! You should try doing more buddy holly covers on your other channel Atlas MN. I really love your covers on that channel
Oh wow thank you so much for watching the videos on my Atlas MN channel!! Those videos were how I kept my sanity during lockdown in 2020 tbh, while the world was scary I found comfort in covering Buddy's happy & bubbly songs. Would love to revisit that!
Yes that's one I've been trying to dial in for a long time now! It's tricky since there is so much studio magic and so many guitar tracks playing at once
awesome eric, glad you love it! also how’s that EQ compared to the mb 5 band??? im looking for an comparable EQ to the 5 band cause they are impossible to find
eric please, you’re spoiling us with so much consistently good content, it’s killing me i can only handle so much good content
p.s that guitar is a god damned beauty and the tone on it is monstrous
wow thank you so much!! The goal is to always put out good content, your kind words seriously mean the world to me 😭 🙏
@@NirvanaGuitars Answer my question please 😭😭 what pick do you use and can you show us your picking technique
@Audioslave_Fanfor nirvana stuff he stays true to kurt and uses a tortex orange 60mm, but in this video from what i can see he uses a tortex 1.14. picking technique isnt something i can say definiely but he seems to be playing pretty close to the bridge here.
BUDDY HOLLY MENTIONED
the blended neck with the humbucker was actually beautiful, thats such a unique tone
Buddy & Kurt are both my #1s for everything music related!
@@NirvanaGuitarsabsolutely man, was nice to see buddy holly and stuff like the beatles on ur channel instead of just on insta, wed be down for vids about ur other tastes too :)
@@NirvanaGuitarsLove to see some grunge style renditions of "Peggy Sue" etc.
I can see you doing it tasteful.
I'm typing this while you're playing "drain you" with the alnico 5...WOW!!!Sounds Great.
Finaly a video about Erics life, and not a Nirvana video.
Well this is NirvanaGuitars so... it's gonna be 99% about Nirvana guitars 😉
Yeah,and than it is cool if you make a video about your own life.
Is there anything specific you'd want to see outside of Nirvana guitar/tone videos?
Bja blue

I like these type of videos. Thanks for all the work you put into them. Great tones. That new custom 5 is the best sounding bridge I’ve heard yet on your channel

Daaaamn Eric can play some mean blues! Love that sound, I bet it plays and feels like a million bucks

Thank you my friend!! I'm a strat guy for life now, will be forever happy with my MIJ Nirvana strats and now this one 🖤
My best purchase to this day has been my blue strat, and I die by Fender now. Hope you have more good times with yours!
Is that the one you sent me pics of? Would love to hear it if you have any audio or video samples anywhere 😃

Brooo, its like mine guitar haha
But i loved the guitar ❤
Xoxo from Brazil
Really, I think that’s the most beautiful guitar that you have in your collection, it just ties with Comp Stang in my opinion
Can't beat matching headstocks! I’m so glad you think so, I’m obsessed with it! 😍
HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO COOL
