Maybe its some sort of "dream of the old" but i prefer his old tone with the Gibson Howard Roberts. The same happens to me with Bernstein, love his Zeidler tone but miss his Gibson.

Notice how he's already swapped out the pickups? Bloody gear-obsessed guitar players!

Oh really? That's a semi-hollow isn't it?

When I first heard Gilad on the latest Ari Hoenig cd I could've sworn it was Rosenwinkel.

No you're all wrong there - that must be the venerable "old growth wood" used in exquisite guitar production

... that was me. That's how I ID'd Gilad H's guitar - I recognised the headstock. My VB is long gone. Apologies for the "garden project in progress" pix, now removed!

Yeah , Victor makes cool guitars. He built mine just before Gilads.
Heres a Pic.

Here is some sound: B & S by __Peter Holmqvist on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

If u want a greate instrument built to your specs without having to rob a bank, then give vic a call. He makes super stuff that matches whatever out there.

Weird. I just got a FB friend request from a Victor Baker today. I didn't know who he was, but I looked at his profile and accepted--he's a Guitar maker, and has Gilad as a FB friend. Got to be the same guy.
