Tom Holmes Japan PAF, Les Paul 1959 Burst Replica, Humbucker test part 4

[gundgen]

I've youtubed many 1959 Replica and yours with the TH's is the best sounding I've heard; better than the Max and Hugo Replicas posted. Your guitar sounds as if it's very light and extremely resonant. How much does it weight and what does the neck profile feel like, full 59 or some variation of it? Does Bernd makes these guitars for anybody or just for friends? Cheers. Joe (Australia)

Man those PUs sound killer.

@wooohoo2 I tried the Faber also. But took the Gibson, bacause it works better for me. What the differencees are in sound, I really don't know...

[wooohoo2]

why do you use a gibson bridge? i went with a faber bridge and stop bar and lost a lot of resonance..i think brass saddles muffle the sound a bit, i dunno but i had more resonance with the original gibson set up.

[HandRpuffin]

Have you tried Dimarzio's Air Classic set, yet?

[HandRpuffin]

Definitely like these. I would rate these number 1 with Bare knuckles and Dimarzio following.

[GrandZeppelinBand]

@skydog46 no, I didn t try those. I listened to all your videos and loved those Throbaks.

The comparison between true PAFs and throbaks is very impressive.

This set is the best!!! Great sound, definition, open, airy SOUNDS STUNNING!!! 5 STARS \m/

[Juda0326]

These pickups sound great. But what is Tom Holmes Japan? Are these copies of Tom Holmes, and where can you get them?

[nicoturbo911]

Hello, loved the guitar. Could you tell me how to get in contact with the builder. I've tried google and can't find a contact mail. You can pm if you want.

Best regards,

Nico.

@bolivarmena Si segnior! I used the same settings! Tom Holmes s the king

[skydog46]

@GrandZeppelinBand These sound the best of all the ones I've heard. Have you tried the Throbaks?

[bolivarmena]

Wow did you really used the same EQ as the other 3 tests? They sound incredible, very fat but not a single bit dark.

[GrandZeppelinBand]

[bushkey]

So, what did you think of the Tome Holmes Pups?

[GrandZeppelinBand]

@Kitarrist88 I really don't know what microphone this recordingtools have! Regards

[GrandZeppelinBand]

@Kitarist88

[Kitarist88]

Also is this a stock JCM800 from which year is it? :)

[GrandZeppelinBand]

@Kitarist88

I think it's a 1982 modell. Nothing changed (exept tubes) ore tuned.

[Kitarist88]

What are you using to record this?

[GrandZeppelinBand]

@Kitarist88

I used a Zoom Q3 recording Camera!

[Kitarist88]

@GrandZeppelinBand Does the zoom Q3 have same microphones or recording quality as zoom H4 and H4N ?

[asianaxeman]

@Kitarist88 ya

[Kitarist88]

@asianaxeman Hm when i checked some examples on youtube H4 had more bottom end but i think that Q3 recorder electric better while H4 and H2 recorder whole band better and acoustic guitars better and doesnt have so much bottom end. What do you think?

[asianaxeman]

@Kitarist88 ive got loads of full band videos recorded with the q3 and it's just awesome, Why get the h4n when u can have the video as well, they've released a Q3 HD now, highly recommend it mate
