Was dope meeting you today outside Sweetwater, hope you have safe travels back home!
Owned a sprayers choice tremonti with the stoptail before and sold it. Instant and constant regret. Flash forward a couple years and my local GC had a brand new one hanging on the rack for months and it got zero attention. It’s a charcoal cherry sunburst, with a stoptail. And it was marked down a lot. Finally had to take it down and play it. Fell in love again. Week later I sold 2 guitars and scooped it. Never again! These things are special.
I have a PRS in which i locked the trem by jamming some taped together coins in there. Hasn't budged in over 10 years.
I have done the same on my Custom 24s
Did the same to my Custom 22. There are better looking solutions, but not cheaper or better functioning.
I do the same thing.
My current main live guitar (RG655) has taped together coins inside to block the Floyd
sounds like a factory job........
The PRS adjustable wrap around tail piece is precisely why I went with a PRS SE Zach Myers, as opposed to an SE 594 McCarty. I think it looks aesthetically cleaner overall, and the function is perfect.
Same for me. I also played a few of the SEs. The Zach Myers just flat out stayed in tune better.
Totally agree with you Fluff: PRS is the new Gibson and MM the new Fender.
Anyway… I’m the proud owner of a US made PRS Tremonti from 2007… fixed bridge (stop tail) all black… it’s beautiful and sounds awesome!
The only thing that I don’t like of the guitar is the Tremonti name on the 12th fret as a inlay. I prefer very much the bird with open wings!
Nice order man, enjoy your new guitar!
PRS is the new Gibson alright, overpriced dogshit just like Gibson
Over the last year I’ve gone full PRS. started with se’s and now I’m on to core. Currently haggling over the price of my first core Tremonti. Great guitar. Cheers
Good luck with that haggling. 😁
My Tremonti was my first core. Actually... My first PRS period. Now I have 3. 😬
Love them all though.
I have one and love it. The best "Les Paul Custom" that you can get and it's a beast in the studio
This is a bucketlist guitar for me. I own all the Les Paul Customs, Rare Gibsons, Fender Teles and B-Benders, Gretsch White Falcon....but the PRS McCarty and Temonti Singlecut are on my bucketlist. Perhaps now is the time to pull the trigger.
Happy to hear you too found the Tremonti bridge pickup meuh…. I have the same feeling with mine - find it way too hot. Will likely get a Metal or else too that falls within the JB scope. Great axe! Love mine (where I did fix the trem). Purchased used and saved 3k$ ! No hard tail bacl contour was avail when I got mine
Nothing like an heirloom piece of kit like that. I love it but more importantly... you do. Congrats!
Congrats fluff!! Looks amazing
I have the same exact one. It became my forever guitar. Congrats. You’ll grow to love it even more
Cool new box Mr F. Sounds great! NGD is the best day!
Amazing guitar. Congratulations !
Congratulations buddy
Agree on hardtail for recording. Stays in tune and solid. (Not that tremolos can’t be stable, but hardtail gets there with less effort IMO)
I think Fluff explained that the problem was him, but I have just no idea where this tuning stability myth comes from when the Floyd Rose exists and quite a number of manufacturers make super stable classic dual fulcrum floating trems: Music Man, G&L, Vega Trem etc. I'm even getting fabulous tuning stability from a FR1000 while the locking nut is not locked.
I think this is entirely a set up thing. Floated correctly, with good tuners and good nut, a good quality trem unit delivers.
100% understand. I wanted to love PRS for about a decade. I had several USA Custom 24s and 22s and just couldn't bond with them. Then I got a Custom 22 that had a Fixed wrap a round stop tail. Holy MOLY! It's a totally different beast. That's been my #1 since 2017. The stop tail PRS guitars have a whole different feel and response.
They do! Sadly, most PRS models don't offer the hardtail option.
Congrats Fluff , that is a gorgeous guitar.
Absolute dream machine
Nice guitar! Congrats!
Beautiful guitar bro!!!
Beautiful guitar! 🤘🏼
Ha! Me too. Just got a Custom 24-08 in the mail today. Enjoy!
Love that new guitar!!!!! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸
My two favorite guitars are a '97 Cu24 and '07 SC250. The later, in essence, very close to your Tremonti model. It's a work of art, so nice to play and to listen to. Congrats 🤘
I just got a beautiful core custom 22 10 top yesterday and I’m also in love.
Beautiful Guitar!
Great video sounds CHUNKY. Never considered a Tremonti but will look into them more now
Congrats. I enjoy my first gen version :D
I picked up a Tremonti in faded whale blue with the tremolo last month. Absolutely love it. Not encountered any tuning stability issues so far though obviously sticking with E standard and drop D for now. It's the first time I've spent so much on a guitar but the fit and finish, setup out of the box and sound is on another level entirely.
That’s a great top. Looks amazing.
Such a sweet guitar bro! Hope you
get some equally sweet & nasty tones out of it!
Les Paul killers by far! Congrats! I love my Tremonti. Totally want a stoptail version next though, but I'll just default to my SC-245's for now. 🤟🙂
Guitar sound is excellent 💪🏼. I’m going to get a PRS in the future
Just Beautiful!!
I tried one of these Tremonti hardtail models in silver metallic back around 2004, and it was awesome.
Oh yeah, these Tremonti guitars look so sick. Hope to give one a shot someday.
Love the Tremonti stoptails. Its a dream PRS for me
I've had my charcoal USA Tremonti since 2010 and will NEVER let it out of my possession.
Also, I locked my trem with a Tremelno and it's been absolutely perfect. No drilling required.
Beeeeeauuuuutiful !!!! Love me some Tremonti guitars.
I love ❤ PRS Singlecut's... Own a Tremonti hard tail myself in Trampas Green.... I could see myself owning each of those you have Fluff... Good StUff!!
Nice, I like the both the tremolo and the wrap around style just think there both good, I would really dig an s2 tremonti
I just bought a tremonti stoptail too. Original owner out a metal pickup in the neck. Have been debating on replacing the bridge with the metal too
I love the metal pickups from PRS
My opinion is whichever you like playing more would be the big brother. I do like the inlays on the Tremonti for sure. They react well in the camera.
You are going to love love love that Tremonti…!!!!
I just have the SE Tremonti but I love it! ❤️
Thanks!
Grats on the new guitar! Been in the market for a hard tail that isn’t a Gibson for a while now and haven’t found one I actually like
Hardtail ibanez rg. You're welcome
@@freepadz6241 sadly didn’t like the necks
NGD is always exciting, congrats! I am waiting on a Kiesel A2 with the bevel delete and a Deviant Grimoire, which will come first is hard to say. Oh Fluff, I live in the Seattle area, is there a guitar repair place that you can recommend? The last place place I took my guitar to didn't do a very good job and I'd like to avoid that.
Good god man that Custom 22 is beautiful!
Can I ask what color and finish is on your custom 22. Looks amazing. The Tremonti looks fantastic too.
CRUNCHY .... I like it! - I constantly keep coming back to PRS, MM and Suhr myself. Fender and Gibson just don't attract me to them much anymore these days unfortunately. I have the M Pickups in my custom 24 and LOVE them through a Dual Rec.
I owned one back in 2013, and it was a quilt top (10 top). Beautiful guitar and played really well. My musical tastes have changed so I let that particular PRS go. It was a fantastic guitar but was a bit of a one-trick pony with the pickups that were in it because they were super hot. If you are a Creed/Alterbridge/Tremonti fan, then it's the perfect guitar for you! I remember walking into my guitar teacher's studio years ago and I just dropped the recent Creed album in front of him and was like, "Teach me to play this" and that's where it all began and then when I bought my PRS Tremonti, It was a dream fulfilled. If you want to experience a guitar that is probably at the zenith of all Les Pauls, go play a Heritage custom shop. You will never look back at Gibson or PRS for a Les Paul and its going to be more versatile. For the niche that the Tremonti PRS fits in, it masters that style well.
Love it, I have a Cobain Jaguar and a dime slime for the trem stuff, everything else is a hard bridge for me.
I had two Tremontis with the floating bridges and did not vibe with them, plus I never use the bar. I sold them and grabbed one just like yours and a single top hardtail. Incredible guitars.
I have a 2018 McCarty 594 SC I bought new in 2019, top looks almost identical to your MT. Except the flame washes out between the pickups, makes it look like a moon shining on a lake at night. Anyway its the best guitar I have ever had by far.
it sounds great
Ive got a prs 245 with the duncan jb and it freakin rips. I put a seth lover in the neck to round out the tones for everything else.
I already preferred the look of the prs single cuts with the wraparound bridge over the 2 piece ones.
Hey dude!
You've reviewed my rig a few years back in one of your "Rate or Roast" series. My setup had MT Charcoal Burst 10 Top. (with the floating bridge)
I remember that at one point my saddle was breaking my fattest string so I had to kind of grind it off a bit to make more space for the string to sit.
After that it was perfect, soo watch out haha.
From all the guitars I've played this one was the best all around and now I'm jealous cause I've sold mine :D
Fwiw I recently picked up a hardtail ce22. I too am not a floating bridge guy. It has the dragon 2 pickups. And my god does it nail 90’s riff tones. So if you ever get a chance, you might dig those too.
A Tremonti is my current dream guitar!!!
Love the looks of them except the headstock. They have really great finishes.
I have my tremonti in half step down. I have the black gold burst core, it’s a sick guitar.
I think why I like V's with a Floyd is because i get stability from classical position for palm muting smoothness although havent really scrutinized full song tracking, just occasionally watch the tuner while playing to see if I'm keeping it accurate
I've got a Gibson LP trad pro v in transparent ebony. It's my Mark
Tremonti lookalike. My only amp is a MT15.
freaking coolest Custom 22 i’ve ever seen.
Wow that Custom 22 though 😮
That custom 22 is still unreal
5:35 yes! I've been saying this for years. The old wrap around bridge was a horrible design taken straight out of the 50s. I think even Paul didn't see the benefit of adjustable saddles and it took them years to realize that modern bands just use different string gauges and tunings and need the adjustment range.
I own an 06 gen 1 Tremonti and an 07 gen 2 tremonti with a floating bridge. Both are nearly identical for me tracking (no pitch wable etc.) The biggest difference is the stop tail is a little louder without the amp. I will say if you dont have the bridge set up by someone uses to working on ors bridges they can be finicky.
I have the trem of my CE24 siting on the body. I hardly use the trem. It stays in perfect tune and I can put in Drop D without needing to fix the tuning of the other strings.
Bogner sounds awesome
I love guitar
My absolute Holy Grail Guitar!
how's the nitro finish? does it feel like it's more easily dinged?
Fluff it doesn’t get said often, but you’re a hell of a guitar player. Cheers!
I don't have access to a wood shop, so I use tape to make blocks with coins. The tail never moves.
The fact of using coins instead of wood also adds monetary value to the guitar.
I like the look of the hardtail. I own the se custom. Baffles me that it’s not a standard hardtail. He don’t even use a tremolo.
I’ve been intrigued by the SE McCarty because of the hardtail. But I have the Zach Myers in trampas green.
What do you think of the Trimonti vs the single cut 594 pickups aside, are the differences mostly the neck/scale length?
You pretty well nailed it. Different scale length, different neck carves are the big ones. Tremonti has phase 3 locking tuners and synthetic nut. 594 has non-locking tuners and bone nut. Wrap around vs tune-o-matic style bridge is notable difference as well.
All of your guitars are hardtails, and most of them seem to be single cuts. You have sort of boxed yourself in to this genre, kind of like Agufish has. We also have very different tastes in music, yet I still enjoy your content and have been subbed for years. Keep doing you bro :)
Man I bought that same hard tail tremonti about 8 years ago. And every guitar I’ve bought since, are good, but the CORE tremonti is just well THE guitar
What model/ color Custom 22 is that?? I grew up on a SE Custom 22 and always wanted to get a true USA to commemorate it
So may be a dumb question but what’s the difference between a dual and a triple rectifier?
This is just my opinion but I think most players don’t even use the trems that are on a lot of these guitars…(if you need a trem, get a Floyd)…I would love to see more hardtails…beautiful guitar btw👍
This is true. However, trems are often a really popular option and they have their own tonal/resonant qualities to them as well.
Floyds are hella annoying though
@@freepadz6241would never own a Floyd again. Such a nightmare.
@@ozzie4306 Definitely not as a main guitar that's for sure. Such a pain.
I have a few guitars with trems and I’m not sure I even know where the trem bars got off to. I like the way they feel when you really dig in, you can feel the springs or at least I imagine I can feel them
neeeeeewww fluff let’s goooooooooo
I have Kahler Bridge and there is way to lock Bridge and I have using it allot that way
Another ex-Tremonti owner with the regret! Tremonti Tribal, loved it, shoulda kept it!
nice!!!
How were you able to order a Tremonti signature and have PRS put in a metal pickup instead of the Tremonti pickup?
I have worked with them for years. I just asked.
Maximum R&B. Thanks!
i love that guitar... :(
Lotta people can't wrap their head around a "metal" PRS guitar. I'm definitely in that camp. I prefer to keep my PRS's more vintage inspired. But if that's what you want, it's as good or better than any brand out there. I do believe it would be a more popular direction, they should consider going in.
How many well known established metal guitarists, would consider PRS a first choice for thier signature model? Image is important with guitars. Whether players will admit that or not, is the question? They complain about bird inlays, and ornate headstocks. If they can't get past that, it's a lost cause for many.
I have a 2000 McCarty 10 top hardtail guitar and it’s honestly one of the best guitars I own. Is it the coolest? No. Is it made incredibly well? Yes.
It's exciting to buy a guitar and say look at me but I dare you to make a show on who you sell a guitar to.
I NEARLY got a Tremonti, but it wasn't too comfy with the profile...Wasn't what I was expecting on the shoulders of the carve.
As a former employee of gibsun, I agree
if i had to buy an expensive guitar one day, it will be a tremonti model ... at the moment i just try to find the tremonti pickup :D
Click!...Niiiice
A monumental moment. Fluff is actually NOT shilling in this video.
🙄
With a Tremol-No you don’t have to drill holes into the body to lock the bridge.
