Recommended Posts

hello guys!

a few day ago some Genesis lovers! met to toast for holidays!!

on this occasion we had a special guest, a beatiful PRS Singlecut, (in the first meeting the guest was Gibson Les Paul)

we could compare their sound and were more than happy that the Genesis once again showed his great tone, even beside to a guitar that are more much expensive.

 

everything went better than planned and had a great night!

 

 

I hope you enjoy the pics folks!

 

happy Holidays!!

These are all old Genesis guitars. I wonder how new Genesis compares to them, in terms of sound, playability, crafmanship quality, etc.

 

I was also hoping there might have been a comparison of the old and new. I bought a new one last year cos it wiped the floor with everything else (with Humbuckers) under 500.

IMHO, honestly, The old Genesis have much of the "old school" crafmanship, very different of today guitars...

i was played several Les Paul Epiphone (china, indonesia, etc) the last i play was a really nice honeyburst Les Paul Plus Top Pro, lovely guitar, but not even close to a vintage Genesis.

The feel of the neck on the old Genesis is amazing, the neck is real fat on my 79 blue, glorious, and noticeably thinner on my 80s sunburst but also nice, the body too.

i dont like so much the slim 60s profiles.

 

I read the excellent review of Brian and i think the new was a really nice guitar for the money, but the old ones are several steps above.imho.

The old Genesis haves that tone and sustain that make it a real kickass guitar.

including testing them beside a lot more expensive guitars.

i feel very fortunate to have encountered them
