Dear Algorithm, this is what I do (& the London City Spitfire mk2 strat) #6.5

Описание: Welcome back in the garden! Let's wake up some super sweet sleeper guitars together!
Not the average budget guitars, but genuinely great instruments that deserve love and attention!
Not the average guitar review,..but one that will take you through our relaxing garden as well. (hey,..everybody is entitled to their own niche right?)

Episode 6.5?
Yes,..this is a weird one. The London City Spitfire stratocaster was only brought to market here in Holland (&Belgium?). It's my goal to review guitars that are widely available,..so this is only a short one! But it's such a great sleeper...and Reverb.com is your friend!?
This is a well-built Chinese strat with great pickups and a lot of nice vintage specs. A player, a beater, a backup..

But the first half of the video is not for you,..I really needed to explain the algorithm what I'm doing here,..so there's that!

mentioned in this episode:
-Adam Ivy's channel. So much great info on alle the large and tiny things you can do to improve your channel.
Good stuff!

-Vegatrem. It seems absurd to retrofit a trem-system twice the price of the entire guitar..but it would be totally worth it! You would still have brilliantly affordable strat!

-London City. The website is still up,..but if the company still is?...
https://www.londoncity-guitars.com/

Stick around and let me know what you think!

For every episode's music I'll record samples, intro's and in-betweens solely with the guitar I'm showing. For fun and to give you an idea of the guitar's sonic capabilities.

I only have acces to a 12Volt battery and a solar panel in my wonderful garden,..so I have to keep it all simple. This time i used the NUX amp academy straight into garageband,..BUT,..with the HOTONE Xtomp (everything)pedal in the FX-loop. It makes a killer combination; great sounding amps (with decent enough reverbs)..and all the effect-pedals you wish for, under your fingertips. Solid stuff if you're looking for a simple, powerful and low-energy portable recording solution!

Tell me of your ultimate sleeper guitar(s) in the comments. The search is on!
The next sleeper is on it's way, so subscribe to pass by the shed the next time.
