NGD X2, PRS CTO Custom 24

[CoreyT]

I got these about a week before Christmas actually.
Ordered direct from PRS, and no waiting for them to be built, as it took about a week only to get them.
The two new ones are on the left side of the picture.
The ones I got last year are on the right side.

I made two videos, one showing the boxing of one of them, and a second video to listen to the new guitar through my new amp, the Mesa Boogie Mark Five 25.
Tried to stitch them together with Adobe Premier Elements, but it crashed my PC.
Software will be put into the garbage
So I have to have two separate videos here as the result of that.
I use to use Windows Movie Maker on my XP computer to stitch together off road and camping videos, but that was a non MP4 file, it was AVI files from an older Sony digital camera.
Windows Movie Maker will not open an MP4 file unless you have Windows 7 I believe.

Also if I knew what I was doing, I would be able to mic my amp to my Zoom R24 track recorder with a mic, or with the Cab Clone feature.
I can do that for a Soundcloud file, but I do not know how to do a file like that and then sync it to the Canons DLSR Rebel T5i MP4 file it creates.
Something tells me I need a Mac laptop to be able to make better videos than using a PC.
So the video is going to lack high quality sound, and also I get very nervous when playing before anyone or even a video, so I make lots of mistakes.
Just the nature of the beast, I play much better when not recording.

I put a link near the end of the first video also to take you to part two.

Thanks Les.
The amp really sounds a lot better if I knew how to mic it when doing a video.
I think I am going to stick with just MP3s and use Soundcloud in the future, better quality sound than using the camera.

You can also see in the vid both channels were barely off of zero for the volume control, as the amp can get away from you pretty easily, plus those 12s have a lot of punch to them.
It was on the 10 watt position for most of the time, yet that 10 watts sounds way louder than my Carvin V3M running through a 2x12 or even a 4x12.
And the Carvin is switchable from 7, 25, and 50 watts.
The Mark Five is a way better amp.
