Rich Severson

Hi, I'm Rich Severson. I started this channel all the way back in 2006 because I love to play and teach guitar! I have been teaching guitar for more than 50 years and have developed hundreds of lessons that are dedicated to serious guitar players who love jazz, blues, fingerstyle, bebop, country, and more. My channel is loaded with guitar concepts that I have learned and fine-tuned over the years and they include a lot of tips, tricks, and even some short-cuts to get you playing like a pro. I also love guitars and have a lot of them. I collect them and buy and sell them all the time. I love talking about guitars and as you can see I love comparing the sounds of some of the most expensive models of Gibson, Heritage, Eastman, and Guild guitars. I also play tons of gigs with some amazing players and love to feature them on my channel as well. You can find links to all my websites below! Thanks for checking out my channel! Please share & subscribe!

    I'm glad they talked a little and compared this to the Eastman guitar. I'm trying to decide whether to get this or an Eastman 503. can't decide....

    Hi, I own a 2014 Ibanez AS153-TQS. Specs wise (to me) it compares to the Gibson 347. Did you ever play an Ibanez AS153? Do you know how it compares to the 347? Kind regards from Belgium ;-)

    In order to decide if an ES 150 is a guitar to play blues or jazz on you should ask guys like Kirk Fletcher or Duke Robillard. The 150 is very versatile.

    how does this guitar compare to the AR503? It's so hard to really distinguish and judge if it's that much better.

    The first question i'd ask to anyone charging $4,300 for their Guitars would be, is it better than a Heritage? They're the best i've ever heard and they don't even cost that much, most of the time.

  • @4578a

    How much are these? You'd do way better with an Eastman. Ok less than $500

    Sounds fine but you can hear the low action and too much bias on the pick up. These big boys deserve to have the acoustic side come out in force.

    Funny I've been working up Killing me Softly and stumbled upon your video because I was also looking at various amp solutions. Nice playing. You must be using flat wounds on that L5 - sounds so quiet and silky. I like your compact and efficient movement across the fretboard. That ES-150 looks just like mine that I sold regrettably. My go-to arch top is a blonde Martin CF-1. Cheers.

    For my ears, listening through good speakers, the Heritage sounds a tiny bit more acoustical, whereas the Gibson sounds like the ideal electric jazz arch top; Of the two I certainly 'take' the Gibson.

    I'm not really into jazz but I can tell what a lovely sound you made and possibly quite nice as back ground music, anyway both pickups to me sounded very similar you'd be happy with either.

    Schallers seem more stout and yet tame. A bit refined but very buttoned up. The Duncans seem more crisp with micro bloom and a quick sparkle like grab. There's more movement in the Duncan tone. Very enjoyable music all around.

    I guessed right. The fender overall sounds more fat and rounded tone, still bright but not as sharp as the hb. I like it more.. the hb is not bad at all though, maybe with better pickups it could match the fender. I would guess the hb yas ceramic pickups against alnico on the fender. I liked more the distortion tone on the bridge pickup of the hb though. The fender is a bit muddier compared to it.. now, teles are the most simple guitars around. The fender is 10x more expensive but not 10x better for sure. Great comparison.
