I was playing my Vintage 'Lemondrop' V100 guitar straight through the excellent Roland cube 80X (new model).
My pickups are Bare knuckle PG blues (absolutely fabulous).
I hope you enjoy.
Jeff

  • could you turn the reverb up even more please to make it totally and utterly un-listenable?

  • @suereed -Thanks for your interest.

  • Is that the V100 Icon PG?

  • @CheezFavor -Hello. It certainly is the V100 Icon PG. I changed the pickups to Bare Knuckle PgBlues, but it's pretty much as I bought it after that. Fabulous value and great player.

  • Superb sound! The closest to PG i've heard so far!

    Many players rate these vintage guitars higher than certain Gibson's, which is of course a matter of taste. But what do you think of this Vintage, comparing it with 'twice the price' brands? And what about the original pick ups?

    Thanks in forward

  • @hanomagrocker -Thank you for your comments. The Vintage guitar feels and handles as good as any Gibson (true) and the neck is super.The original pups are however substandard if you really want all the light and shade of Greeny. They are ok and in the middle position, do a pasable imitation of the fabled out-of-phase sound, but the neck pup especially, is unresponsive and dull.

    I also had some internal wiring cleaned up and upgraded the pots. Afterwhich, the Bareknuckles went in.finito!

  • hi jeff.this is vahid do you remember me?i need to talk to you.can you contact me

    with wshaton@hotmail.com and leave me your nomber?thanks.

  • GOT 2 LV PTR GRN

  • yeah man your tone n tech sounds sublime! its like having warm treacle poured into my ears!! greeny would be proud=)

  • @suereed lol - it probably sounds quite nice directly to him. But by the time it hits the camera mic, in the middle of a nice squarish room with flat walls... well, it's a nice collection of reflections upon reflections. In his defence, proabably wouldn't have pegged this till listening back to the vid...

  • @suereed have you actually heard the original?

  • love your playing,and thanks for all the info you have given,you make me want to practice more !britghten up rainy dublin morning

  • @hanomagrocker I don't believe that "many players", in their right mind, rate Vintage guitars higher than Gibson LP:s. I've had 3 Vintage 100s and 2 Gibson LP:s (One Classic and one std) and the quality is not compareble at all; Vintage: multipiece Mahogany back, maple veneer, Wilkinson harware, badly inlayed MOP etc. Not saying that Vintage are bad guitars...I liked them and the tone on one out of three was pretty damn good. Ffor a £199 guitar is outstanding! Same quality as Gibson? No way!

  • Amazin playin mate you can tell you was chuffed with it,Respect greeny would be proud!

  • Really enjoying working through your Channel.

    Looking for good demos of Vintage V100 guitars has taken me to two really brilliant guitarists who have uploaded lots of first rate instrumentals using the Lemon Drop or V100IT models. Wonderful.

  • Thank you very much for those kind words, James.Jeff Makor

  • fantastic, really enjoyed it. your playing was dripping with that greenie magic congrats

  • @motokev

    Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it. regards

  • @motokev Thanks.regards. Jeff Makor

  • Peter would B proud !! long live PG

  • Great !!!

  • I just wish you had use a valve amp

  • Ok Thanks for the reply, I'll certainly bear that it mind

  • The PGBlues are the most authentic and proper sounding blues pups I ever heard.

    They sound fantastic through almost everything.

    I was playing straight through my trusty roland cube 80x and always get silly tone, .

    The mules have more girth, but they cannot get the greeny out of phase sound and I think the mules are a bit fat bottomed for my liking.

    I endorse Bareknuckles and think you'd be fine with any alnico pups up to the Abraxas,

    also amazing. regards .j
