Title: Sounds of the Languedoc G4...anyone?
Post by: cactuskeeb on May 19, 2012, 10:22:12 PM
I know of at least one person on here who has this guitar. Anyone else? Also, could at least he whom we know to have one perhaps treat us all to some well-recorded sound clips or even -- please, please -- some videos? But videos of you playing it, that is, not just some softcore, semi-aerial shots that pan over the length of the guitar and back. Thanks in advance, man.  ;)

Alright, alright, here is prolly the best I'd example I have right now bro, one of our fans recorded it. I'm not really one to sit around video taping myself, my chops are weak and I don't really consider myself the guy to be showing off a Languedoc in online forums. I am pretty content just making drunk bar flies dance...This was a gig back in January. There is another more Butcher'd version on Vimeo also that shows the tone better but I'm embarrassingly sloppy. I've got some recordings from band rehearsal and such...but our recorder ain't that great. I'm afraid your dealin with an amature here...

Anyway,
The amp in this one is a 65 Princeton Reverb, it's not cutting through the mix real well.
In the other one the amp is my Carol Ann OD2r. Makes for a killer combo.

G4 is a sick guitar, I'd recommend it though I still long for a G2, could I do it over I would prolly go that route. I know one guy who owns one of each and prefers his G4. He's on PT. I tell you what my Artinger is every bit as good of a guitar and Matt was more pleasant to work with. Paul won't even reply to my emails offering praise to the guitar and asking questions about it. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth after spending that kind of coin with him.

David Myka's Dragonfly is right up there also, and he's great.

Thanks a lot for the video post. There's nothing amateur about your performance, believe me. I know what true musical mediocrity is and it most certainly includes me, definitely not you.

Thx cactus. Check out the other Psycho Killer vid on our Vimeo page, G4 sounds better through my Carol Ann. I was running a fever at that gig...
