Maybach are making some great guitars. My lad Owen toured two Corvairs (the elongated Les Paul shape with the slotted headstock) all last year with the (Dixie) Chicks and loved them to bits. He has a gorgeous tangerine one and a black one with a Bigsby, which l got to play when l was with him in Nashville last week. They’re really both wonderful. When l l was jonesing for a Les Paul last year, l very nearly bought a Lester before finding the 2005 Honeyburst standard that l ended up falling in love with. Still quite fancy one of their Juniors actually. :) My only specific comment about the aging on your review guitar, Colin, is that the binding all looks very clean and white. Surely, on a guitar with that much “wear and tear” it would’ve been more yellowy. Cream binding might’ve been a better choice…

The tone pot thing is what happens if you use linear pots instead of logarithmic for tone controls - you get a much more pronounced change between say 0 and 3 and then only a slight change as you get from say 3 or so to 10. Since this is inspired by a vintage guitar, it might even be intentional in this case, as the original guitar might've used linear pots on tone for one reason or another as well.

Really liking this amp so far. Marshall DSL 40. It has master controls, so I can push it fully in the preamp and use the master pots as an attenuator. I traded in my Marshall Solid State stack that I've had for years and my Epiphone SG Custom. I never played it. I played it thru the amp in the store to give it one last fair shot. It just came up short. Hopefully a beginner will get it and play the hell out of it!

I wasn't about to rush out and buy one, but yes this detail is annoying. I was slightly interested in the new Epiphone LPC, but they suffer the same anomaly, in fact even Gibson don't make their LPC's without a maple cap now (Custom shop reissues aside). I understand the production reasons for doing it but.......Hmmmmmm. I feel I can say with some qualification that it makes a difference, having owned a 59 LPC in the past, and that was without doubt the best sounding guitar I have ever owned (and I have had a few!!!) Aside from that this looks a really nice guitar.

Hi Colin - great vid as always - tasty looking guitar and sounds great! On the matter about the tone pots - did you clock whether they where A or B type? I recently re-wired a 335 semi hollow and had a play around with different pots (& capacitors) and the difference was quite remarkable! A quick google gives you this explanation: "A" would denote an audio taper pot, and the "B" suffix would denote a linear taper pot. The only difference is the taper of the pot, or "how gradually it rolls off". Most manufacturers use either (2) audio taper pots for volume + tone or would use audio taper for volume, and linear taper for tone. You have a brilliant YT Channel - keep you the good work :0)

Gibson tends to have friction in the nut, so wanted to see this Bigsby used and see if it stays in tune. With a little help, the nut isn’t really a problem. Really nice sounding neck pickup.

I’ve got a Burny 3 Pickup Black Beauty with Bigsby, based on a 57 I believe and never paid anything like £2000! It has a Mahogany body “without” a maple cap which is apparently correct for a late 50’s Les Paul Custom! The Bigsby is only a licensed model but it is fitted with Grover tuners. I love the thing but do intend to upgrade the pickups, wiring and pots at some point. I believe I paid £599 for it a couple of years ago but I think they are available today for around £799! So even if I do all the upgrades or even have them done it’s going to come out way less than £2000! I think the Maybach guitars are great copies that are very well spec’ed and made but at their prices would have to go for a genuine but used Gibson!

Very cool fiddle you got there. I normally don’t like bigsbys and P90s, I don’t love the look of p90s but they sound great and the staple p90s are definitely the coolest looking ones to me. I think bigsbys look cool on some guitars but I imagine I’m way too heavy handed to ever be able to keep one in tune. That Maybach is super cool though and if you ask me it really suits you . I wish Maybach , Edwards, Grass Roots, and Tokai were easier to get in the States . If that was a Gibson just a factory new LP custom just a new one factory fresh is all over 6,000, if you wanted to get one relic’d it’d be a Murphy Lab and probably 10k or more. The only thing I could see someone complaining about that Maybach is the crisp white binding on it, if they sprayed it with some tinted lacquer to yellow over the binding it would look more naturally aged but that’s really nit picking for the price difference it’ll yellow over itself in time anyway.

I agree with you about the tone controls. However, I'm not sure whether the issue lies with the tone pots or the capacitors that were used.

That guitar is cool but not my cup of tea. One silly thing that tweaks me though is the tuners being mounted with their backs aligned with the curving edge of the headstock. I prefer them to be spaced equidistant from the edge, but aligned parallel to the centerline of the guitar so the button necks are parallel and equidistant from each other. No biggie I know, but one of those things. Thanks for the video and welcome back. ETA: Re: Plekking, I once heard it described as getting your guitar set up by a tech with nearly perfect vision and measurement skills. Like most automated systems though, results must depend in large part on the skill and dedication of the set up/operator. For what it's worth, I had my Epiphone ES 335 Pro plekked. While the fret ends were fine, it came to me with some uneven fret heights, which I could have leveled myself, but by that time I had grown very fond of the guitar and felt I should splurge on making it as good as possible. Was it wise? Maybe not, but for a total of about $700 for the guitar and the work I did or had done on it I now have a guitar that I plan to keep for the rest of my life.

Mine is beautifully aged, ebony fingerboard, Gotoh hardware, Seymour Duncan custom shop pickups : a staple p90 for the neck and an antiqued soap bar P90 for the bridge. I'm sure you would love it. I got it for a nice price as it seems people who tried her didn't like the Staple P90. It is very powerful and it's so simple to just reduce the volume... 🙂
