I would most definitely pay to see you live in concert Dave. To my ear, you have a melodic groove that many musicians lack. Thanks again for yet another awesome free mini concert!!!
I had a long, crappy day. Your video was just the thing i needed to unwind, so thanks! Opening jam was EPIC! Thanks for lifting us up with your music and passion. Cheers brother!!
Hello Dave. I just watched your interview with The Captain over on Anderton's TH-cam channel (I know, I'm a little late to the game). It was a great interview which inspired me to share how the guitar saved my life and I'd like to reposted it on your channel. I absolutely agree with Dave on how music and specifically the guitar can give your life a sense of purpose. I was 16 when a guitar saved my life. I had just finished a 3 month stint in juvy and was getting ready for a dreaded 9 month stretch in a group home. With the holidays coming around the corner my Mom gave me a ray of hope by getting me a Kay acoustic guitar for Christmas. Little did I know that I was entering into a 9 month guitar intensive. A lot of the other residents were aspiring guitarists/wannabe rockstars and a few of the counselors played as well. I learned a ton of songs (Stairway) and techniques in a short time. But more importantly I learned that I could learn, which gave me a much needed sense of value. The guitar gave me the confidence to pursue life. Now after 42 years, a successful career in the film industry as a production manager and countless guitars, I credit a large part of my success in life to that old Kay. I still play on a daily basis and Dave's videos provide a ton of inspiration. Rock on my Brother.
Dear Dave, you just don't play "like you mean it", but you really, really do. You and sir Frusciante both. I wish Hendrix was alive to see you both, Man, he would have so enjoyed you guys.
The playing at the beginning of this video is phenomenal. It has that in-the-zone vibe to it that I always chase when I'm improvising. It was so good I had to watch it a second time.
I’m looking at getting a Vintage Summer of Love and I thought to myself “I bet Dave has some awesome V6 demos”. Here I am, 3 years late, but better late than never and loving your playing. I could listen to you jam all day! You have an old-school style and ability to make the instrument really sing. Seems a rare thing these days...
I love that you gave that guitar life with Marjo....I really love giving instruments good homes when I don't play them....I had a Parker guitar like that....gave it to my granddaughter and she loves it immensely and it'll be with her probably forever....it sat in the case for years around me....needed a friend! Happy New Year Dave! Need to ask....what brand is a V6? My old eyes couldn't make it out on the headstock...
Happy New Year Dave and best wishes for 2021. I am looking forward to being inspired by another round of amazingly awesome solos. Looks like we are off to a great start with this one. Loved it and, as always, it has me wanting to pick up my guitar and practice.
Wow that neck pickup is amazing man, and u know what the bridge pickup insane as well. Thats the sound i want, now i will know what to chase when i get pickups for my strat! Ur a genuine player and soul, i really dig how open u are to music and to your veiwers.......!
I really love your passion for your guitars and playing! I thought I loved guitar until I saw your feed! I guess I need to show my guitars more love! Great just brilliant! Or like you say Immense!
Mr. Dave with my Monday dose of sanity!!! Great jams, my friend! As for the guitars: I like both... they have entirely different tones, but both are lovely. I think I'd use them to capitalize on the emotive differences I feel from them, slight as they are. I think playability and personal connection is going to be the real determining factor. It seems pretty obvious that you have more of a connection to the one you gifted Marjo. You play both of them wonderfully, of course, but it seems like more of an intimate experience when your playing on your old friend.
The relic guitar has that certain mojo which you can see in your face when you play it. To my ears it sounds that bit nicer too and your intro blew me away :)
Anybody else hear the opening chord to Del Shannon's "Runaway" at 16:08? No, not you young whippersnappers - I'm talking to my gang; the pre-geriatrics! Heck Dave, it looks like a White Strat Convention! Very cool. Honestly, the V6 you gave to Marjo has the sweetest sound to my ears. But you could not have picked a better custodian in her. Great playing on both of them, however. You made my Monday night, once again. Thank you, buddy!
Hey dave its me again if you remember hahahah I bought fenix strat i was asking you about it and im in love with it I just wanted to tell you that my heart was broken minutes ago and your playing, man it brings me back to life i want to thank you for everything you give to us listeners i dont think you realize how much this helps to some of us Regardless of that Thank You
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Your playing and personality are endearing. I've only recently become aware of Vintage brand guitars. They seem great for the money🤔
Hello Dave ! i love the both ! but i prefer my V6 lol I have one it's Vintage v6 Fillmore ,with olympi(a)(c) white color ,but reverse headstock (i love reverse headstock) ,maple neck and rosewood fretboard ,i have 3 wilkinson pickup with reverse staggered plot ,and the bridge pickup the angle is inverted ,the guitar is all reverse like lefty guitar in the right hand , it's a hendrix style ! i love it so much !!!! the sound is completly different from other strats i have , the neck pickup is very bright and a lot of power , the middle is near a neck telecaster sound ,and the bridge is very wild with power but not so bright ! i have other strat guitar with wilkinson pickups ,my last buy it's a eagletone st62 it's a fiesta red body with maple neck and fretboard , i put a freeway 10 positions switch (humbuckers and 3 pickups positions ) and it's very similar to vintage brand but very lower quality (i work on it ,i change the nut ,i make a wooden wedge on the neck pocket because the action is too high , i cut the head stock to make a fender strat look like head stock . the guitar is ready now and the sound is awesome ! all guitar i have with wilkinson pickup sound great ! The strat is for me ,the best guitar of the world ! confort ,easy playing ,easy customise , easy repair , and very cool look ! thanks for your video ! take care ,be safe ! best regards .
Your “new” V6 looks fantastic and I’m looking forward to the video about it, but, Marjo’s V6 sounded so much better! Her V6 was more dynamic all around I think. Great comparison!
I like the way you play your old faithful guitar... More soulful and more connected which makes sense since you yourself said you've played it for four years.. however I prefer the sound of the second one . More open I think . Hope France is treating you well good sir it seems from initial impressions it is ! Happy new year! Question , have you ever recorded with your Katana via USB? Im interested in looking into that aspect of the amp for making home demos as opposed to using plugins . Cheers!
i like the relic, because I'm predominately a neck pickup user, and that one is sweeet! Also think new strings might have a bit to do with it, but then not in bridge position- hmmm. I love pos 2 for Gilmore & Knofler. Didn't know about middle Jimi , thanks for that : )
Dave, Great comparison of the V6's. On the basis of your reviews of Vintage guitars I've just purchased a distressed sunburst V6. I've had many Fender Strats in the past - both MIA and MIM models - and have often been disappointed. I'm not disappointed with the V6 - in particular the range of tones I can get with it. I agree with your comments about Vintage guitars, and cheaper guitars in general - there is a lot of snobbery out there. Find one that suits you and provides the tones you want then frankly it's a keeper regardless of price. I'd make one comment about cheaper guitars, however. Don't put them under the microscope and obsess about the finish, etc. Just play them and bond. I just can't see the great Rory Gallagher obsessing about his axe! Oh, and by the way, I went away from my usual string height and neck relief setup and tried the ones you use on your Strats - far more comfortable! Many thanks! Keep Safe!
Dave, the relic V6 sounds warmer on the neck PU and also there is much less fret buzz going on from what I hear. No difference in the bridge PU to my ear. Swap the neck and bridge PU if it's OK with your friend 😀
Great playing and great music from Dave as always👍🙂👍 If it was me I would give the non relic one to my friend and have the relic one back, I base that on what I heard not on the looks, I don't really dig relic looks generally👍🙂 Get the old one back and refinish it and you'll be happy. If you friend won't swap then get the soldering iron out and then delete this video😅 Happy new year to you Dave🙂👍🙂
Hey Dave, Both sound killer but the 1st has some magic for sure! Love your videos and have only just found out about Vintage Guitars from this video. I've been after a strat - are the new ones any good?
You got there in the end man, stronger low mid fundamentals in the relic, (very condusive to making it through TH-cam's compression:) *the low you referred to on the non-relic didn't come through the recording as much, however the strings(9's I think) or the acoustic quality did, ...which could have been the reason why it confused me in to thinking it didn't sound as punchy and fundamental in context,...what a rabbit hole;) PS. (match a mahogany neck-rosewood fingerboard with agathis/basswood/nato or sassafras body strat type configuration for low mid fundamental punch,...and the bridge pickup will never get too spikey,...imho;) cool vid man
Hey Dave I have a question that’s spinning my head what would be key topics of musical theory to approaching a style similar to Frusciante especially for improvising and composing ?
My V6P with 3 P90'S Dave I would love to see you get a hold of one, but i like the Icon, how heavy is yours Dave my V6P comes weights in over 8 pounds,
You are the master of the strat models.....is the fender player a strat to have fun or is a other brand a beter option? and yeah i now its a big question but i thik its internet and it is so easy to write these question here......:D thanks for your souds vids and words.
@@thedavesimpson oh its okey i thanks sooo much fpr your time...you play sooo cool guitars for lot of money and sounds are so dreaming ...one question more what pedal is it that you play in the vid ,,This Is One Of The Best Strats I Have Ever Played´´ in min 24.00 like the sound ...beautifull sound have the ,,polara Pedal´´ ....and on more thanks and love your style
So looking forward to seeing this shootout.. for me the relic V6 has a sparkling brighter sound may be due to being played alot?!.. The Bob V6 has like you say Dave a darker tonality still a great guitar but for me the relic V6 gets my vote. I always wait with anticipation to seeing and hearing your Monday intro today no exception delightful thank you!☺
I think you should try the old pickups in the new guitar. I think the magic is in the pickups. Maybe put the old neck on it too? But, then again, you may need the body too, lol. The relic sounds way better! Tough one. The relic actually looks awesome to me as well. Good luck! 😀
I was surprised by how different they sounded in the opening jam, and I am definitely a nerd, because I kept trying to magnify the screen to the point where I could see where your switch and tone / volume controls were set! The 2010 (more battered) V6 had a warmer and slightly richer tone with more depth in the midrange IMO, and the 2008 seemed to "sing" more in the high ranges, but was thinner overall, and just a bit darker. I had no preference, different tones, different uses, both sounded great in your hands Dave. For me, if I heard those tones when playing, I would gravitate to the 2010, simply because it is closer to the way my own Strat sounds! (When I say "closer" I don't really mean "close", just in the same galaxy, rather than the same ball-park.)
Number 1 for me ....great tones got mojo ...cool...bought few 'white' guitars as could not get the colour wanted ..have turned out to be some of the best guitar ever bought...one thing that always surprises me is alot of players never equalise 'balance' the volume of low and the high 'E' with the pickups..Number 1 sings...Number 2 got setup issues would start with neck bow and sure sounds like string and pickup height probs then dail in the intonation ...more
The worn one has a fuller mid range which I like , mid range is where I live. The necks sound very similar. Like the look of the fully intact strat though. Just a matter of choice. Wish i had the emotional connection with guitars like you do :D
I had this really old Bc Rich strat (lol) and it was always super clear, bright and had an amazing chime compared to my other strats.... then i realised it had 500k pots and ceramic pickups... I was very surprised at how good it sounded... Anways... Bobs V6 is this demo sounds like my Squier Classic Vibe 70s, not as chimey, more mids and bass? I keep seeing V6s show up for sale online and I am always tempted to buy one... hmmm... Maybe I should try one... As for the postion 2 and 4, for some reason the neck and bridge are always more Bluesy and more Minor sounding (a poor description but its best way i can describe it) People who play a lot of Major bluesy (Mayer) stuff use the inbetween sounds cause its softer? Does this make sense or this totally stupid haha.
True love never grows old...isn't it, Dave? I agree with you about the sound and pickups of these guitars, though I wouldn't say this or that one is better. I like your old V6 (the one you gave away) with a clean tone very much. Still, the other is also quite nice for certain moods (I think it would make a wonderfull "Woman Tone"). Anyway, I quit comparing the sound of my guitars, everyone is having it's own sound, feel and character and makes me play in a certain way. One day this guitar fits my mood, the other day it doesn't. And I'm not talking about the difference between a Les Paul and a strat, but about the difference between a strat and a strat. Few years ago i saw a video with Trace Foster (guitar tech for Joe Perry, Angus Young) talking about how Joe selects his guitar: by feeling. Believe me, it helps. Just play "Hey Joe" on a Gibson with P90's and you'll get a totally different feeling/song. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but at least it has helped me stop chasing sounds (free at last!). Today, most of the times I just pick a guitar and start playing, don't care to much about sound, just feel. I only switch to another guitar if it really doesn't feel right (aah... yes... there are moments I wish I still had only one guitar, those old days, when there wasn't anything to choose at all)
I think the relic'd guitar has a bit more tele style snap to it. It doesnt sound like a tele but has that sort of dynamic in regards to reaction to pick attack! i dont know if that makes sense but i hope you know what i mean. i love the sound of it (in my headphones anyway)
21 frets on a Vintage v6 ? never saw that before 😮 . both Sounded great to my ears (and this show that not two guitars are the same ) the relic ones seems to be a very special guitar for you , guitars gets better as they are more played too , you were very generous but guitars (as you said ) should be played so i think you did the right thing especially if your friens loves that guitar 🙂👍 , These guitars Vintage are lovely i have a V6 Fillmore and i love it 🤗 . At the end the best guitar is the one your playing , greetings from Argentina , good video 🙂👍
I think there is an airy quality to the Marjo strat that the other one does not have. I wonder how the non-Marjo Strat would respond to 300kOhm pots instead of standard 250kOhm ones... should brighten it up.
preferred your original one way more. spent many hours listening and watching you spend many hours playing it!, it sounds brighter and clearer and open, it looks better and I would probably prefer the neck much more also. hear it now, I can tell.. it just sounds so much like is so happy to see you again. It made me want a V6 very very very much but couldn't find a dealer over here and saw prices to order one and then heard all the horror stories of their horrible quality now
so after having this jam of yours stuck in my head for about a month and playin it allot in my car with the speakers blaring thinking im cool i stumbled upon a great guitar player named gary moore, ive heard of him befor but never really checked him out untill recentlt and hes a beast, than i saw an interview of some guy talking about two great players from europe, one being gary moore and the other being rory gallager, and the guy said rory gallager was also a beast, so i had to check him out a few days ago and i found this song, sound similar to you, and this jam, maybe same chord progression but in a dif key, 6, 1, 5, 4 i think. but the lead you do sounds like him or i should say his sounds like yours ;] so you are up there with the greats imo. here the link i found to that rory gallager song "Rory Gallagher-Bad Penny (Rockpalast 1982)" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/nlEfyMoR49M/w-d-xo.html

I would most definitely pay to see you live in concert Dave. To my ear, you have a melodic groove that many musicians lack. Thanks again for yet another awesome free mini concert!!!
That guitar playing at the beginning was so great! Thank u, you made my day;)
I had a long, crappy day. Your video was just the thing i needed to unwind, so thanks! Opening jam was EPIC! Thanks for lifting us up with your music and passion. Cheers brother!!
Hello Dave. I just watched your interview with The Captain over on Anderton's TH-cam channel (I know, I'm a little late to the game). It was a great interview which inspired me to share how the guitar saved my life and I'd like to reposted it on your channel.
I absolutely agree with Dave on how music and specifically the guitar can give your life a sense of purpose. I was 16 when a guitar saved my life. I had just finished a 3 month stint in juvy and was getting ready for a dreaded 9 month stretch in a group home. With the holidays coming around the corner my Mom gave me a ray of hope by getting me a Kay acoustic guitar for Christmas. Little did I know that I was entering into a 9 month guitar intensive. A lot of the other residents were aspiring guitarists/wannabe rockstars and a few of the counselors played as well. I learned a ton of songs (Stairway) and techniques in a short time. But more importantly I learned that I could learn, which gave me a much needed sense of value. The guitar gave me the confidence to pursue life. Now after 42 years, a successful career in the film industry as a production manager and countless guitars, I credit a large part of my success in life to that old Kay. I still play on a daily basis and Dave's videos provide a ton of inspiration.
Rock on my Brother.
Dear Dave, you just don't play "like you mean it", but you really, really do. You and sir Frusciante both. I wish Hendrix was alive to see you both, Man, he would have so enjoyed you guys.
So many beautiful white guitars on this channel recently. Love it!
Thank you Dave. You definitely turned me into a Stratocaster guy. You can’t beat there tones.
The playing at the beginning of this video is phenomenal. It has that in-the-zone vibe to it that I always chase when I'm improvising. It was so good I had to watch it a second time.
I’m looking at getting a Vintage Summer of Love and I thought to myself “I bet Dave has some awesome V6 demos”. Here I am, 3 years late, but better late than never and loving your playing.

I think that V6 sounds great just how a Stratocaster should sound👏👏👏
Jan from Denmark
Dave….. this is some of the best playing I’ve heard from you yet …. Some of the best improv I’ve ever heard in my life bro. Seriously 👏👏
wow blast from the past!!! Missed that old vintage!
Thnks for great playing ,,sounds soo kool and hippie and Hendrix style tune 🙂
I watch your channel when I'm feeling low, and your expressive playing never fails to make me feel better. Thanks Dave.
its 2021 people from you tube and nothing changes Dave's on fire,great intro m8,they are all great guitars Dave,you do them all justice
Holy shit !! You must of been feelin it that day !!! 😲 even Frusciante would be impressed!! Just bonkers how freakin rad this is man !!! 🤙🏼😎
Who is this guy? His playing and mastery of the guitar is stratastic!!!
I love that you gave that guitar life with Marjo....I really love giving instruments good homes when I don't play them....I had a Parker guitar like that....gave it to my granddaughter and she loves it immensely and it'll be with her probably forever....it sat in the case for years around me....needed a friend!

Outstanding playing Dave.
that intro jam blew me away! WoW.
The new/older v6 sounds fantastic - darker and richer, a greater depth of sound. I'd go for that one. Great video.
Wow that neck pickup is amazing man, and u know what the bridge pickup insane as well. Thats the sound i want, now i will know what to chase when i get pickups for my strat! Ur a genuine player and soul, i really dig how open u are to music and to your veiwers.......!
Dave: I don't like positions 2 & 4! 😬
Me, looking at my red Strat with 7 switch positions: 🎸😍
Your ear is spot on between the two.
I really love your passion for your guitars and playing! I thought I loved guitar until I saw your feed! I guess I need to show my guitars more love! Great just brilliant! Or like you say Immense!
The guitar at the start was amazing Dave! you are my favourite guitarist by far
Excellent Dave!!!! So, so good!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Thank you brother!!
The neck pick up on the relic'd one sounds incredible!
Happy New Year to you Dave....more and more enjoying your inspirational playing .
Mr. Dave with my Monday dose of sanity!!! Great jams, my friend!

Dave, your playing will never cease to amaze, you are one incredible talent
The best stairway solo that isn't stairway!!! Awesome!!!
Your playing speaks to my soul Dave. Thank you.
Coming back 3 years later and this is still my favorite opening solo of yours Dave.
Anybody else hear the opening chord to Del Shannon's "Runaway" at 16:08? No, not you young whippersnappers - I'm talking to my gang; the pre-geriatrics!

Hey dave its me again if you remember hahahah
I bought fenix strat i was asking you about it and im in love with it
I just wanted to tell you that my heart was broken minutes ago and your playing, man it brings me back to life i want to thank you for everything you give to us listeners i dont think you realize how much this helps to some of us
Regardless of that Thank You
Bought a used 2008 rosewood and it is stunning… competes my 1984 Tokai goldsound . Thanks Dave… appreciate what you do✊🙏
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Your playing and personality are endearing. I've only recently become aware of Vintage brand guitars. They seem great for the money🤔
Hello Dave ! i love the both ! but i prefer my V6 lol
I have one it's Vintage v6 Fillmore ,with olympi(a)(c) white color ,but reverse headstock (i love reverse headstock) ,maple neck and rosewood fretboard ,i have 3 wilkinson pickup with reverse staggered plot ,and the bridge pickup the angle is inverted ,the guitar is all reverse like lefty guitar in the right hand , it's a hendrix style ! i love it so much !!!! the sound is completly different from other strats i have , the neck pickup is very bright and a lot of power , the middle is near a neck telecaster sound ,and the bridge is very wild with power but not so bright !
i have other strat guitar with wilkinson pickups ,my last buy it's a eagletone st62 it's a fiesta red body with maple neck and fretboard , i put a freeway 10 positions switch (humbuckers and 3 pickups positions ) and it's very similar to vintage brand but very lower quality (i work on it ,i change the nut ,i make a wooden wedge on the neck pocket because the action is too high , i cut the head stock to make a fender strat look like head stock .
the guitar is ready now and the sound is awesome ! all guitar i have with wilkinson pickup sound great !
The strat is for me ,the best guitar of the world ! confort ,easy playing ,easy customise , easy repair , and very cool look !
thanks for your video ! take care ,be safe ! best regards .
Geez I keep coming back here just to listen to your into 🤘Solid guitar player
Your “new” V6 looks fantastic and I’m looking forward to the video about it, but, Marjo’s V6 sounded so much better! Her V6 was more dynamic all around I think. Great comparison!
Wow, the jam in the begining was fire! 🔥
Great VINTAGE GUITARs‼️
I'm great fan‼️⚡😍⚡
I like the way you play your old faithful guitar... More soulful and more connected which makes sense since you yourself said you've played it for four years.. however I prefer the sound of the second one . More open I think .

Bang bang! Oh no you got me! Hahaha had me chucklings for a good while
Great soloing! Lovely tone too 😎😼
My initial thought was about V6 engines....this is also nice:) cheers
Dude wtf ......you are amazing lol I'm in shock.
Actually its depressing cause I can't make it do that...
Dave, Great comparison of the V6's. On the basis of your reviews of Vintage guitars I've just purchased a distressed sunburst V6.

Whoa, your playing Dave, it has reached transcendent stages! Love it all, I am a terrible chooser, it is all about the player!
Wilkinson pups are epic! . I liked the relic one because it looks like a battle scared warhorse!!
Dave, the relic V6 sounds warmer on the neck PU and also there is much less fret buzz going on from what I hear. No difference in the bridge PU to my ear. Swap the neck and bridge PU if it's OK with your friend 😀
I prefer the one that hangs in my attic studio 🤙🏻 (V6 Reissued MN sunburst)
Great playing and great music from Dave as always👍🙂👍
If it was me I would give the non relic one to my friend and have the relic one back, I base that on what I heard not on the looks, I don't really dig relic looks generally👍🙂
Get the old one back and refinish it and you'll be happy. If you friend won't swap then get the soldering iron out and then delete this video😅
Happy new year to you Dave🙂👍🙂
Hey Dave, Both sound killer but the 1st has some magic for sure! Love your videos and have only just found out about Vintage Guitars from this video. I've been after a strat - are the new ones any good?
You need to try another 2010 V6 now to see if they all have the magic pickup and neck. Great vid, think I’d go for 2010 myself.
You got there in the end man, stronger low mid fundamentals in the relic, (very condusive to making it through TH-cam's compression:) *the low you referred to on the non-relic didn't come through the recording as much, however the strings(9's I think) or the acoustic quality did, ...which could have been the reason why it confused me in to thinking it didn't sound as punchy and fundamental in context,...what a rabbit hole;)
PS. (match a mahogany neck-rosewood fingerboard with agathis/basswood/nato or sassafras body strat type configuration for low mid fundamental punch,...and the bridge pickup will never get too spikey,...imho;) cool vid man
I will go for the warmer one. I prefer a middle of the road sound and from there I can always dial the sound to be brighter or fatter.
Hey Dave I have a question that’s spinning my head what would be key topics of musical theory to approaching a style similar to Frusciante especially for improvising and composing ?
My V6P with 3 P90'S Dave I would love to see you get a hold of one, but i like the Icon, how heavy is yours Dave my V6P comes weights in over 8 pounds,
Lovely tone and playing fella👍
And I actually like the tone of both! The Relic has a bit more Bite! But pleasant Bite!
You are the master of the strat models.....is the fender player a strat to have fun or is a other brand a beter option? and yeah i now its a big question but i thik its internet and it is so easy to write these question here......:D thanks for your souds vids and words.
I haven't tried the new fender players yet so i can't say. I'm very sorry.
@@thedavesimpson oh its okey i thanks sooo much fpr your time...you play sooo cool guitars for lot of money and sounds are so dreaming ...one question more what pedal is it that you play in the vid ,,This Is One Of The Best Strats I Have Ever Played´´ in min 24.00 like the sound ...beautifull sound have the ,,polara Pedal´´ ....and on more thanks and love your style
I have a vintage V6 thomas blugg signature and absolutely love it, never play my 2 other guitars.
same here
Happy new year dave / great playing as always
Do both have fresh strings? Could account for the difference.... But the relic is definitely clearer/defined
Heck!...You could make a Rubber-band sound awesome!
So looking forward to seeing this shootout.. for me the relic V6 has a sparkling brighter sound may be due to being played alot?!.. The Bob V6 has like you say Dave a darker tonality still a great guitar but for me the relic V6 gets my vote. I always wait with anticipation to seeing and hearing your Monday intro today no exception delightful thank you!☺
I think you should try the old pickups in the new guitar. I think the magic is in the pickups. Maybe put the old neck on it too? But, then again, you may need the body too, lol. The relic sounds way better! Tough one. The relic actually looks awesome to me as well. Good luck! 😀
I was surprised by how different they sounded in the opening jam, and I am definitely a nerd, because I kept trying to magnify the screen to the point where I could see where your switch and tone / volume controls were set! The 2010 (more battered) V6 had a warmer and slightly richer tone with more depth in the midrange IMO, and the 2008 seemed to "sing" more in the high ranges, but was thinner overall, and just a bit darker. I had no preference, different tones, different uses, both sounded great in your hands Dave. For me, if I heard those tones when playing, I would gravitate to the 2010, simply because it is closer to the way my own Strat sounds! (When I say "closer" I don't really mean "close", just in the same galaxy, rather than the same ball-park.)
Number 1 for me ....great tones got mojo ...cool...bought few 'white' guitars as could not get the colour wanted ..have turned out to be some of the best guitar ever bought...one thing that always surprises me is alot of players never equalise 'balance' the volume of low and the high 'E' with the pickups..Number 1 sings...Number 2 got setup issues would start with neck bow and sure sounds like string and pickup height probs then dail in the intonation ...more
The neck pickup on the 2010 sounds like its got a very subtle built in chorus ....👍
The worn one has a fuller mid range which I like , mid range is where I live. The necks sound very similar. Like the look of the fully intact strat though. Just a matter of choice. Wish i had the emotional connection with guitars like you do :D
1:46 f00k m3! Great. Easy and great. Supergeil, wie du spielst!
I had this really old Bc Rich strat (lol) and it was always super clear, bright and had an amazing chime compared to my other strats.... then i realised it had 500k pots and ceramic pickups... I was very surprised at how good it sounded... Anways... Bobs V6 is this demo sounds like my Squier Classic Vibe 70s, not as chimey, more mids and bass?
I keep seeing V6s show up for sale online and I am always tempted to buy one... hmmm... Maybe I should try one...
As for the postion 2 and 4, for some reason the neck and bridge are always more Bluesy and more Minor sounding (a poor description but its best way i can describe it) People who play a lot of Major bluesy (Mayer) stuff use the inbetween sounds cause its softer? Does this make sense or this totally stupid haha.
Did you ever try any Vintage Advance Strats and Teles briefly on sale, then discontinued, a decade ago ?
if i had a choice i would take both guitars Dave,they are both great
Dave, you could make a string attached to a stick sound good
True love never grows old...isn't it, Dave? I agree with you about the sound and pickups of these guitars, though I wouldn't say this or that one is better. I like your old V6 (the one you gave away) with a clean tone very much. Still, the other is also quite nice for certain moods (I think it would make a wonderfull "Woman Tone"). Anyway, I quit comparing the sound of my guitars, everyone is having it's own sound, feel and character and makes me play in a certain way. One day this guitar fits my mood, the other day it doesn't. And I'm not talking about the difference between a Les Paul and a strat, but about the difference between a strat and a strat.
Few years ago i saw a video with Trace Foster (guitar tech for Joe Perry, Angus Young) talking about how Joe selects his guitar: by feeling.
Believe me, it helps. Just play "Hey Joe" on a Gibson with P90's and you'll get a totally different feeling/song. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but at least it has helped me stop chasing sounds (free at last!). Today, most of the times I just pick a guitar and start playing, don't care to much about sound, just feel. I only switch to another guitar if it really doesn't feel right (aah... yes... there are moments I wish I still had only one guitar, those old days, when there wasn't anything to choose at all)
I think the relic'd guitar has a bit more tele style snap to it. It doesnt sound like a tele but has that sort of dynamic in regards to reaction to pick attack! i dont know if that makes sense but i hope you know what i mean. i love the sound of it (in my headphones anyway)
You don't like an HSS setup of microphones on your guitar?
Dave, you could always swap the necks and neck pickups and hope Marjo doesn't notice.
Wow nice playing Dave!
21 frets on a Vintage v6 ? never saw that before 😮 . both Sounded great to my ears (and this show that not two guitars are the same ) the relic ones seems to be a very special guitar for you , guitars gets better as they are more played too , you were very generous but guitars (as you said ) should be played so i think you did the right thing especially if your friens loves that guitar 🙂👍 , These guitars Vintage are lovely i have a V6 Fillmore and i love it 🤗 . At the end the best guitar is the one your playing , greetings from Argentina , good video 🙂👍
I like your blues. 35:59 Miracle your pick didn't get gobbled up by a monster in a parallel universe like mine always do.
The non relic strat has more Bloom in the Mid/Low Tones!
great Dave !
I think there is an airy quality to the Marjo strat that the other one does not have. I wonder how the non-Marjo Strat would respond to 300kOhm pots instead of standard 250kOhm ones... should brighten it up.
Dave you should try the V6M24 incredible for the money and a lot of fun.
preferred your original one way more. spent many hours listening and watching you spend many hours playing it!, it sounds brighter and clearer and open, it looks better and I would probably prefer the neck much more also. hear it now, I can tell.. it just sounds so much like is so happy to see you again. It made me want a V6 very very very much but couldn't find a dealer over here and saw prices to order one and then heard all the horror stories of their horrible quality now
so after having this jam of yours stuck in my head for about a month and playin it allot in my car with the speakers blaring thinking im cool i stumbled upon a great guitar player named gary moore, ive heard of him befor but never really checked him out untill recentlt and hes a beast, than i saw an interview of some guy talking about two great players from europe, one being gary moore and the other being rory gallager, and the guy said rory gallager was also a beast, so i had to check him out a few days ago and i found this song, sound similar to you, and this jam, maybe same chord progression but in a dif key, 6, 1, 5, 4 i think. but the lead you do sounds like him or i should say his sounds like yours ;] so you are up there with the greats imo. here the link i found to that rory gallager song "Rory Gallagher-Bad Penny (Rockpalast 1982)" on TH-cam

@thedavesimpson Hi Dave,, have youve upgrade the poots on the Strat v6 or not and change the tuners or not ???
I haven’t no.
Hi great Dave. How many guitara have you?
The intro: HAVE YOU GONE HAVE YOU GONE AWAY ALREAAADDDYYYYY
And again with feeling
Are you gonna try an original grey v1? The grey v1 has more range than the v2 and v3 and obviously the black v1.
