Rabs Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I thought he came across pretty well..

american cheez Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 good post. with 40 million in online sales, and another 8 million in store sales, it's a safe thing to say his competitors are wondering why they didn't think of doing what seems only now to be so obvious. he's made some very interesting comparo vids, and has had some cool guests on his channel as well.he's definitely doin it right.

Beerad12 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I really like the videos Lee puts together with Rob. Lee looks like he genuinely loves his job. Looks like a good time to me. Glad to see he is continuing the family biz successfully. He also seems like a cool chap who you'd like to share a pint with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Yup. I enjoyed it too. Interesting to hear that their on-line sales hasn't negatively affected in-store sales; quite the opposite. I'm guessing their on-line presence has simply raised their own 'bricks-and-mortar' shop profile so more folks - and I'm one of their number - have now heard of them whereas we'd never heard of them before. Their particular style of vid-clip-demo idea has turned out to be a very good marketing strategy! Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Good for him. It's a tough business and he's making it work. I've made purchases based on their videos, although not from them. I tried to buy a Custom Shop R0 from them but they wouldn't sell it to me because I'm in the US. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Yes, I watch a lot of their videos also. Lee comes across as a likable fellow and I'm pretty sure he is. I also prefer his guitar playing to all the others who demo for Andertons (including Chappers). I have visited the shop a couple of times and its where I bought my 339. It's not my favourite music shop, nor even my 2nd or 3rd favourite, but no-one else does video so well. Thanks for posting the link. Enjoyed it.

pippy Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 ...I also prefer his guitar playing to all the others who demo for Andertons (including Chappers)... I like Rob as a character and his playing is very skilled but he almost always uses far too much gain and his 'normal' style is a bit too OTT for my taste. I prefer Lee's more considered approach. There WAS one other guy they have used - although I've only seen him featured in one clip - who was (IMO) a FAR more enjoyable and tasteful player. Perhaps he was one of the players who was singled out for the trolling which was mentioned in the interview and gave up? Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Maybe Andertons should purchase Gibson?! With Lee and Rob's personalities, and selling ability, Gibson would be out of debt, in no time. Love their videos, and even those with some of the other folks, that are associated with their store.

Yeah, but Pete and Mick are pretty easy to listen to as well... and they're all better than me so there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BbpY5vxzrU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 ...Pete and Mick are pretty easy to listen to as well... Thanks for posting that clip, Black Dog. Pete is the guy I was thinking of when I wrote my post earlier. And yes, I could listen to that kind of stuff very happily. Enjoyable, tasteful and effortless playing. Pip.

Black Dog Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Pete is the guy I was thinking of when I wrote my post earlier. I had a feeling it was either Pete or Mick. It's kinda cool when you start watching a video of an amp review and end up being inspired, or just sit back and enjoy their playing. Therein lies the success of this marketing model.

fretplay Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I have bought from Andertons and found them efficient and pleasant to deal with so much so that I drove over there last summer to see the shop. Lee has a nice operation out there in Guildford and his videos are not bad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Yeah, Rob is colorful, and a very good player, but not my style at all That's 3 of us (with Pippy). Yes Rob the guitarist is very knowledgeable and has incredible technique. I am impressed by his playing but not so often moved by it. Many video bloggers are all ego, but Rob's very natural & likeable. I think most people are entertained by the banter between Rob & Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Just to play Devil's Advocate I'd like to post this clip. It highlights quite a few of my favourite soap-box-operas and Rob does a sterling, understated, job in introducing us to the CC in question. Pip.

And thank you, Pippy, for posting that! I agree with your assessment. Rob is obviously a very talented player and seems to play whatever he wants with ease. I've even seen him get into some country/blue grass stuff. But he does seem to favor the more high gain metal genre. After all, someone has to appeal to that segment of the market, which is no doubt substantial. I do not think they should fire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 No, Rabs, I haven't seen those before. I watched the first few minutes and it looks like it will be informative but I'll have to try to find 50 minutes free to watch the whole thing properly. Thanks for the head's-up. Pip.
