Dan Lashbrook Guitar Setup Video 2

The second in the series demonstrating what Dan can do for your guitar. This video is the 1965 Martin D-18 Post-Setup and Dan discusses what was done to the guitar and plays some on it. In addition Dan talks about guitar setup in general and why it is neccessary. Be sure to compare the sound of this guitar to the sound of it in the first video. The same equipment was used in both recordings and no effects were added of any kind. These are raw recordings captured by the same 2 microphones, both on an MBox 2 using Pro Tools 7.4 with absolutely no processing. Great pains were taken to adjust the levels and have the mics in exactly the same spots. Special Thanks to Jef Walter for the use of his guitar in this demonstration.

Well, it sounds like youve got new strings. Thats about all you can really tell from a laptop recording and speakers. Otherwise someone is BSing someone.

Wow, what a difference! I don't know if I had talked with you about this before, but I've got a '57 D18 with a cracked and poorly repaired top and sides that I'd like to have you look at and see how much it would be to set it up right.

By the way, the pickguard looks great! Let me know. Keep up the good videos!

Thanks for the comment,,I'd have to see the gtr

to tell how much it will be to repair that D-18.

But that's right up my alley to set up a great old D-18.

Glad you like that pickgaurd.

Thanks Dan

@kingdom777866 To tinny and you own Gibson. Gibson are tinny and muddy.

[Studio607Productions]

I agree. The setup made a huge difference. I'm also a Martin man and, without trying to sound too harsh towards Gibson guitars, don't see how you could call any Martin "tinny" compared to any Gibson. In my experience Gibsons lack any notion of a deep tone and are mostly thin sounding noise coming from the strings only. I wouldn't own one but that's just my opinion.

[kingdom777866]

Yeah, i think your right...

Keep up the good work!

[jeffbc]

Compared to the before vid, it sounds much more open and resonant to me, more clarity, with more balance. But, I am more of a Martin man....could be you just like the gibson sound??

[kingdom777866]

I dont like this "sound" .. its all down to

what you want, and what you want to hear,

this sounds to tinny to me, its sounds like

a banjo?

But its all down to tast.. not all of us like

marmite do we?

I supose thats why im a gibson man!
