A year with my Millimetric MGS3

A year with my Millimetric MGS3

I knew it must have been approaching the arrival 'anniversary' soon but with life as busy as it's been of late it had slipped my mind. It wasn't until someone kindly commented on my 'NGD' unboxing video over on my YouTube channel last night that I realised yesterday marked a year to the day since my MGS3 arrived! So I thought it might be good to follow up on my time spent with the guitar and ultimately, did I still admire it as much as those first few weeks/months we often call the honeymoon period. Well the good news for me, is of course a resounding yes!

The Guitar Geek interview at The Guitar Show 2020!

The Guitar Geek interview at The Guitar Show 2020!

As more time locked away passes by, I become more grateful for how lucky we were timing wise that The Guitar Show this year was able to happen. It was such an awesome weekend too, the best vibes! Someone who has always been supportive of my guitar efforts has been Andy from The Guitar Geek, and we finally had chance to meet that weekend where he kindly also filmed our chat! Andy's channel has continued to grow on YouTube with over 23k subscribers now, which is well deserved knowing the hard work he has put in. 
I dread interviews in case I do my usual social awkwardness, but Andy helped me feel at home so hopefully the video is an enjoyable one for you all!
Massive thanks to Andy, appreciate it!

John gets weird and wonderful with the MGS2

John gets weird and wonderful with the MGS2

I am partial to mad sounds, and when it's paired with incredible playing then it's so much fun to listen to. This video from John Cordy with our Millimetric MGS2 put a huge grin on my face. Awesome sounds! Thanks, John!

John x MGS2 x TateFX

After those searing lead tones from Millimetric MGS2 on the last couple of John's videos, he did some awesome work with some low-mid gain tones courtesy of the brilliant Tate FX Antares drive pedal. I love Tate FX pedals, so it was great to see this included in the video! Thanks again to John, and be sure to sub to his YouTube channel if you don't already, daily uploads of inspiring guitar playing

John Nathan Cordy & our Millimetric Instruments MGS2

John kindly reached out to me due to our mutual friend, Jon from Loaded For Bear Audio cables whom I've begun working with. 
An absolutely astonishing guitar player, and after meeting at this weekend's Guitar Show proved to be an absolutely lovely person too! John is kindly working on some videos for me with our beloved Millimetric MGS2 demo model and good lord, has he come up with the goods mere hours since handing the guitar over! I genuinely had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I heard this, unreal sounds and even better playing. I'm in awe, John! Those lead sounds!!

Be sure to subscribe to Johns YouTube channel, support what he is doing as he is one of the good guys.

My Millimetric Instruments MGS3 featured in Stuff Magazine!

My Millimetric Instruments MGS3 featured in Stuff Magazine!

I was kindly approached by a writer at Stuff Magazine as they wanted to include Millimetric Instruments in their 'Upvoted' segment covering 9 superb guitars. What more I had the opportunity to photography it myself too which as a photography fan for almost as long as guitars was something I couldn't pass up to have a photo I had taken as the main image for the article, very humbled!

But I must say, it feels very cool to have used my own personal MGS3 for the shoot and have it in a major print magazine! Thanks to Stuff Magazine and Richard Purvis for getting in touch and having me involved in this feature, means a lot!
