JD Simo and RS Guitarworks


JD Simo visited RS Guitarworks, bringing his RS Slab '59 and a Reinhardt Sentinel. Shown are before & after photos of the guitar, after a year of gigs and sessions in Nashville. JD's Slab '59 started out as a lightly-aged guitar, but after hundreds of high-energy gigs and sessions, JD has transformed the guitar into a true Road Warrior. Because of JD's playing style, the nut has been replaced 4 times, and he's gone through 3 sets of bridge saddles. Initially shipped with a white single-ply pickguard, JD replaced the guard with a white 3-ply guard, like one of his hero's...Mike Bloomfield. Watch & listen as JD plays the RS Slab in the RS shop, and check out the real playing wear on the guitar...

Greg Martin @ RS Guitarworks - Rufus Huff CD


Greg Martin discusses the new Rufus Huff CD, available April 14, 2009. "Drawing on the tough, stripped-down sounds of Free and early Bad Company, Rufus Huff delivers hard riffage soaked in Southern soul. Greg Martin's spine-tingling guitar solos evoke Paul Kossoff, Duane Allman, Mick Taylor, and Bluesbreakers-era Eric Clapton, while remaining utterly his own!" --- Andy Ellis, music journalist.

MY RS Guitarworks AGED TELECASTER


RS Guitarworks (rsguitarworks.com) Aged my Tele and the big benfit is that it sounds more "woody" or "Earthy" and has 100% better tone because of the thin laquer (and lack of it) on the guitar. Fender puts too much laquer on their new guitars and it doesn't let the wood sympathetically vibrate. Now, I have my dream guitar and it is priceless! Thanks Roy, Scott, Paula an Billy (and ALL at RS Guitarworks)!!!! getcloser2god.com

Maya with RS Guitarworks Vintage Strat Kit


I installed the RS Guitarworks Vintage Strat kit. What a difference! In this video the tone controls are on the Neck and Bridge pickup. As you can hear the bridge pickup became a little compressed with this change but the Wilde L-45's sound fantastic. I will change swap the tone to the middle at the next string change. I can't say enough about this kit. Yes it is expensive, but just listen...(and not to my bad notes...) So responsive, so smooth...massive improvement. And great customer service too. So in this case, you do get what you pay for. Other new changes on the guitar are locking tuners and Graph Tech saddles

LP Wiring - Vintage vs Modern


For the complete podcast and High Quality samples, please go to www.guitartonenetwork.com Here's the breakdown We start with a stock 2001 Gibson Les Paul R9 Historic Reissue, pickups are a 57 Plus at the bridge and a 57 at the neck, cable used is Analysis Plus Yellow Oval running into the Swart Space Tone. No effects in line, reverb on the amp was off. The recordings were done on each pickup rolling off the Volume with the Tone wide open and then rolling off the Tone with the Volume wide open, first with the stock "modern" wiring array and second with an RS Guitarworks "vintage" wiring array. The RS Guitarworks wiring array (www.rsguitarworks.net) we used is the "Pre-Wired Vintage Electronics Upgrade Kit w Bees- Short" array, however Grey Tiger cap's were used instead of Luxe Bee's. According to RS the these are the same as Luxe Bee caps just a different color. For the complete podcast and High Quality samples, please go to www.guitartonenetwork.com
