Thanks everyone. I have some amazing stuff to look at.
I have to admit, though, it’s a shame that Yngwie doesn’t (at least in the videos I saw) try to play with some emotion. With his skills he could take that to such a higher level.

I think you might like this guy, @MoBilly
He is probably the greatest unknown guitarist ever.
Legendary, actually.
Watch what he does with that Telecaster. Phenomenal.

Most awesome. I have to show my buddy this. 
He’ll be tying his fingers in knots trying to do what Buchanan does.
I’m messing around with his Telecaster right now. Electric is a whole nuther ball game bro. Even figuring out how to hold my picking hand is a new thing. Well, it’ll keep my old mind active anyway. lol

I had a guy get into a little tiff at work years ago as I would not watch a video of a guitarist explaining where sustain comes from in an electric guitar. I had to watch it because I had wrong ideas, making a pine body guitar showed I did not get it. And even though I had made a number of guitars by now and rubbed shoulders online with a number of real life luthiers, I was wrong. Since I would not watch his video he decided he no longer wanted to talk to me about guitars.
I kind of regret selling him one acoustic I made and sold to him for $25 as he wanted something to practice with. But I was into helping people get into guitar then. He did say I should put better tuners on the guitars, he changed them out after I gave it to him. A $100 set of tuners would probably make it a better guitar but I was not about to put them on and then sell the guitar for $25, not sure he understood that.
Anyway, my brother sent me this video and it sort of aligns with my thoughts on tone woods for electric guitars.

Tone comes from the fingers.

Mail call was awesome today!
Thanks for getting it here so quickly. I am leaving for a gig now or I’d be playing with the pedal already. lol
Thanks again. Best money I’ve spent in a long time brother.

My GF works at a gym and they have a policy that anything left there is put aside for 30 days and if it’s not claimed by then it’s fair game if anyone wants it (or garbage or donated in the case of clothes and stuff). Anyway she’s been super excited because someone left an Ibanez acoustic outside against the front of the building and we’re like 4 days away from it being up for grabs. She ended up bringing it home yesterday to show me even though there is a chance she could have to take it back but she’s hoping not.
She’s wanted me to teach her for awhile but she’s worried about playing my guitar even though I tell her it’s fine. I’m hoping she gets to keep it so she can have her own. Forget the model but it’s like a $200 guitar so nothing crazy but Ibanez gives you value for the money. Really thin fake wood or something but it’s really warm and resonant, thinnest neck of any dreadnought I’ve ever played. It’s got a case, capo, Snark tuner, and 3 sets of D’Addario strings in the bag too.
Guess I’m a guitar teacher now

As my friends in Chinatown say, Hory Clap! That’s a nice score. I have a higher end Ibanez Acoustic/Electric that I would never, ever get rid of. She is maybe the best sounding acoustic I have heard, without talking about $2000+ guitars. Now, it does have a nice maple neck and a beautiful body made completely, front, back, sides of highly quilted maple. And sounds incredible. And when you plug it in, that mofo comes alive, I shit you not.

Ibanez acoustics are to acoustics what Schecter electrics are to electrics in the sense that at any price point you can be sure you’re getting more guitar for the money than most other companies give you. I can’t believe how bright and warm this thing sounds for how paper thin the body is.

I am having a blast with this thing. All these years I have, pretty much, stayed away from electronics. There’s not much mixed in to bluegrass. But this little thing is pretty dang fun. I can see where it’ll be useful when I’m working up a new song.

There’s a pedal that’s supposed to be a “band in a box” where you can loop and it adds drums and bass to the mix while adjusting the tempo and choosing from a few different tracks for each. I always thought that would be a blast to play with but I’ve heard mixed reviews on the final product. Digitech Trio pedal was the oe I saw but since then they’ve added the Trio+ so maybe they improved it.

I never thought about busking before @Slick1, but I would consider doing it with this thing. I think folks might pay a little to see a song put together one layer at a time.
