    I love that he's using the guitar he won in Polyphia's cover contest.

      I’m wondering if his is a prototype since the headstock is black, mine is brown. I know he won it from them so maybe a first batch thing

      @@demo308 Wasn't it Tim's personal guitar? Pretty sure that it was mentioned in the video, but they might've just sent out a special one for him, idk

      ​@@anthonygunnip8779 i think it was maded specially for tim henson, he said in one video that this guitar was a commercial flaw in the 90's and they would never put it back to market, but polyphia sent the demo of "Playing God" to ibanez and asked them to create a new version of it, so his guitar was probably one of the first and customized the way he wanted. Playing God was one of their best songs and revived this guitar that literally nobody wanted in the 90's.

      7 string just has an added lower string so its not really any different other than shifting those notes.
      What's impressive is his playing.

    You know what’s funny is that as I listened, I remember thinking “this doesn’t sound all THAT great” lol.
    But in my head, I was comparing this singular guy to the entirety of Polyphia and their highly-produced track, and then I realized just how good this guy is that my brain was subconsciously doing that.

      There is this limitation to the sound that acoustic guitars (and the electrics) can produce; surely this is already the best-sounding cover it possibly is, without any multi-tracks involved in the sense that there is only one recording of each type of guitars involved in this cover

    Awesome work. Sounds amazing, and the way you constantly swapped the guitars kept the song sounding like a conversation between them which I loved about the original. Kinda feel like the TOD10 almost let you down a little at the second section, it works with the main riff but I reckon the steel strings are nicer on this particular song - it was great to see it again though!
