that was such a fantastic tone - great playing, thank you for the video!

Fantastic demo and tones as always! Really awesome stuff.

Fantastic demo. Easily one of the best "S" type guitars offered by any manufacturer at any price. Thanks for all the excellent advice. BTW, I'm always a bit amused by how much I've spent on guitars and then how much research I've done to alter their tone.

Great demo, man! The guitar is already amazing, but you really bring out the potential of this guitar, that’s what I love from this demo. Great job!

Great demo! Very informational! Im curretly deciding between a SE Silver Sky or a Fender Player Strat. Im looking to play Blues (SRV type style) and I'm looking for some nice clean tones. Which one do you think I should get for that? Does the Silver Skye handle a bit more gain a bit better than the PLayer Strat? Thanks for the video!

Hi Corey, great video. You mention at about 8:57 that you're using the Ox Box to keep the volume down. Can you clarify exactly how you do that, since the Blues Junior doesn't have an effects loop or signal out? (at least mine doesn't!). Thanks

@@coreycongilio one more question, I see hear bass is set LOW, in another video you referenced that you treat the bass differently while giging, say you were going for these sounds live, at volume, what would your bass knob be set at general, and would that be different if it was so small a gig you were not going through the PA, I realize these are very general questions and that the room and context change the answer a bit.... but which way would you lean, more bass than here live or same? asking bc I'm primarily a bass player using your videos to secretly become a better guitar player than the guitarists I play with, ssssssssshhh don't tell, frequently I feel the guitar is pushing more air than I am on the low side, not that I can't turn up, Mud central when competing for the the bottom, so I don't... the drummer just shakes his head... its a Blues deville and it's like a firehose lose in the room bruising anybody in the path.... but he cant hear it because it passes between his legs. lol.
