Great Guitar Tone and why it is Universal and NOT kanya kanya lang

[Skybox]

I am ever an optimist, if my dog and Arie's dog can react to it, so can humans.  But then again, some dogs don't.  So if I were Manny PaQ-U, I would say mas masahol pa sa animal ang mga hindi makarinig ng Hiyaw. LOL

Careful buddy.. Nike might drop your endorsement deal. Lol!

EDIT:
Thanks bro! I love my new sig! Haha!

Haha well that's one way to put it up.

Really? Bakit ka pa namimili ng gitara kung lahat sa fingers lang? Therefore, benta mo na ang JS guitar mo.  Di ba?

pinapakita sa video na to sir kayang tapatan ng assembled strat ang js. at ang pedals oare pareho lng ng tunog sa kamay ng isang player.
at tong assembled strat na to eh kaya ding maki pagsabayan sa mga custom shop fenders

[plugzzzz]

If tone is in the finger that guy needs to get a new set. Di ko nagustuhan yung narinig ko.

Got your point.  So, which one is the 'best' sounding for you?

[randymarsh]

Wanna bet?  I currently have a 1991 PRS Custom 24 that beats the crap out of 99% of ALL PRS.  Took me thirty years to find it. 

Not sure how you have arrived at this number. Sabihin na natin na for the last 18 years nakakapagproduce ang PRS ng 700 guitars per month (as per wikipedia) by now meron ng 150000 guitars ang na-iproduce ang shop nila (excluding pre 1998) To arrive at 99% at least 140K PRS guitars ang natest mo na or at least 10000 guitars (1%) kung statistical sampling ang gagawin. Pwede paki explain pano ka nakakasiguro na claim mo na 99%?

Somehow, I was expecting the Animal Rights Activists to say that Animals are on the same level as the LGBT community. Heh heh.

Random Sampling... For every incremental 100 PRS I try, only one passes the criteria of Hiyaw.

After decades of tone chasing, which guitar would you say is the best ever that you have played/owned that's simply a cut above the rest?

[tongski_02]

both sounds good. because they just sound the same. even your yaron LP or B3 might sound just the same in hands of the guitar player in the video i posted

Glad you got the sarcasm btw hehe.

tone comes from each individuals fingers. gear does not matter.
on guitars:

on pedals:

hanapin ko about amp comparison

Parang ang hirap naman ijudge nung ginawa sa video about sa guitar comparison. Ang bigat sa effects e. Chockful of gain tapos may wah pa. Sana meron yung clean lang.

idk about hiyaw, pero coming from cheap gears, nung nagtry ako ng gibson stuff, there's something sweet about it.

of all the years that i've observed alex in this forums, it is still inconclusive of what he's really chasing at. one day it will be a suhr that would beat 10,000 US teles. then tomorrow, it's a hand-picked custom shop tele that's the best in the philippines. then another day it's a gil yaron that would make greeny's '59 burst a potato. then right now it's a PRS that beats 99% of all PRSs. so to answer your question: after decades of tone chasing, i think he's still chasing. i hope he's not just running around circles though.

[siore]

Why can't we just watch someone chase tone and tire out?  Let them insult modest gear and players, but hey at least we get to see them running around in circles.  I think this is the approach where both sides are happy.

[Skybox]

I agree guys. It's actually pretty fun to watch.

What I'd really like to see is a guy actually auditioning a representative sample of PRS's just to find the one that has "Hiyaw" and would beat 99% of all PRS ever built. Wouldn't that count for some sort of a world record?

Wala in terms of consistency.  Even the real bursts had bad sounding ones.  At least the 3 that I tried.

Don't get me wrong, I am NOT saying walang magical burst but rather each guitar has to be assessed on its on merit.  Parang tao rin, hindi mo pwede sabihin na lahat ng pinoy ay maganda at guapo -- though compared to the Japanese and Singaporeans -- mas maraming guapo at maganda sa bansa natin.

I think the major difference in my chasing is that it ain't chasing but rather hoarding.  ALL of the guitars I mentioned are still with me because they ALL have hiyaw.  And I keep them as proof that hiyaw is UNIVERSAL across different makes of guitars.

I don't run around in circles and the people who do know me think I am VERY consistent in selecting guitars at least in terms of hiyaw.

Not referring to you or anyone in particular.  Apologies if it seemed that way.  You know your stuff pretty well. 

As for some who's ventured into other hobbies, I'm saying guitar gear may take second place at some point in their lives.  Thus it pays to have gear you're happy with (such as yourself), or just enjoy watching or reading about gear reviews from others who seem to be enjoying the tonequest.  Take no offence either way and grow a thick skin.

[Sugar Ray Vaughan]

I know there's a lot of hunchos on the "Hiyaw" topic and I had the time to back read on this thread, the only question I want to ask is, is "Hiyaw" measurable?

[gandydancer123]

Ayun oh!

Is this the Baker through the Diezel? This video just confirmed na masahol pa ako sa hayop
