Some other nice guitars including a well-used ES-345 and player-grade ebony block SG.


Stick around for the studio tour at the end. Nice digs!
Neve showed the desk he’s using in the studio??

Literally the most important aspect of a studio tour?

Well, It wasn't a full studio tour but a buying safari with a quick overview tagged onto the end. Maybe adjust expectations...

API 1608-II

I'm using an API 1608 with the expander on it, which gives me 32 channels. And I have eight extra channels of the BAE 1073s for the Neve sound. I love all the Capi BT50 EQs. Capi makes amazing stuff, and I have that in most channels with the exception of a few API 560s for microscopic EQs. I've got a bunch of great outboard compression as well. I've got, a low serial number LA-2A. I've got two 1176 Blue Stripes and all that stuff.
I do have an analog console but I run that through the UAD Apollo and I use those as my converters. I do a lot of work in the box as well because that's how I cut my teeth. I learned how to do everything in the box first and then I slowly integrated analog as I went along.

My favorite part of the video was when, at the last minute, he wisely and correctly decided to keep his 1959 ES345!

I keep tellin’ y’all, the ES345 is the snizzle bizz!

Indeed... he plugged it in, and you could tell from the onset, YES keep it!
