The sound produced by an electric guitar doesn’t change much with age… the physics don’t support it, other than minor changes in material density with exposure to moisture/dryness, oxidation, etc. Recreating an aged guitar is turning back to previously used materials (pickup wire gauge, magnets, etc) and construction that affects tone and playability. Yeah, if they do that well, that’s great. But is it worth the price tag?

I am a old guy past my 68th birthday so my perspective is different and is subject to personal taste no one is right or wrong on what guitar feels, sounds or plays better..First The necks are different, the 78-81 silver burst had maple necks, ebony fret board and a 60’s shape - slightly thinner, also the pearl inlay is move vivid and more beautiful on the 1979-81 silver burst. Newer ones have mahogany necks, man made material on fret board and a thicker neck with no volute. 1979 had volute. The pickups are also a personal choice, the Adam Jones silver burst models have a Seymour Duncan 15.5 ohm pu in the bridge very hot much more than I want but many younger players like that. The 1979-1981 had T-tops which have a much cleaner sound.I have some older T tops which sound better than the 79 T tops but that is because Gibson did not use auto winders in manufacturing until 1967i. So I lucked out and have some over wound ones in another guitar. That’s my 2 cents

Fantastic walk through, thanks for the vid. I recently grabbed the standard Adam Jones GIbson.

I love the AJ standard, I have to assume it will be sold whenever I do that, for probably close to what I paid, most of the standards seem to stick around the same price point until they become a few decades old. Also, the standard doesn't have quite the green, that actual vintage does, so it's a cool feature without being weird. If I get rich, I assume I'll grab a custom shop, I really love them.

Market is coming down on the Silverburst (both vintage and AJ versions). There are a lot of Custom Shop Silverbursts available (Bizarre Guitars are great btw) for around $5k or so and I am sure you can talk them down. The Norlin era examples are sitting around $8k - $9k which is well above what other finishes command ($4,500 - $6,500 based on condition). If I were in the market for an AJ Signature or vintage model I would make some offers as there are a lot of guitars and they are sitting a lot longer. Not sure they will ever correct to normal but certainly glad I did not overpay for one. I had a Custom Shop Silverburst and it was incredible. Sadly it showed up with a bunch of finish checking (not the Murphy Lab Kind) and I am still waiting for another 7+ months to replace it. This is after waiting nearly 16 months for the first one!

I agree that there's no point in spending a lot of money to try to sound like someone else with a signature guitar... and not much fun as a musician to restrict yourself to someone else's sound. Better just to buy a guitar because it works for you.

Top wrapping the strings doesn't increase the string tension. The only way to do that is by increasing pitch, or moving to a larger gauge while keeping the same pitch. The active portion of the string is under the same tension regardless of how it is wrapped. Top wrapping just adds to the overall string length, which essentially gives you more stretchable material, and an easier feel to the bend. Imagine the amount of force you would need to stretch a 1 inch length of rope one full inch, versus the force required to stretch a 25 foot long piece of rope one inch. The more there is, the more it can stretch out under the same forces.

@KersyMusic

13 сағат бұрын

If you increase a strings length, to maintain the same pitch, the tension needs to be increased. In two guitars with different string lengths but the same pitch, the longer string length will have higher tension. The formula that proves this is The relationship between the pitch (frequency), tension, length, and mass per unit length of a string is given by the formula: T = (2L f)^2 * u

That's not controversial at all. The Adam Jones ones are just try-hard, and why buy a vintage Norlin when you can buy a clean, new one that's at least been PLEK'd.
