Does not sound like a nylon though.

American wages are higher than Chinese wages, which accounts for most of the price difference ;)

Have one of these. One of the best guitars I have owned. One of the non core models I have…

This is an anti-add for the Boss.

Question… do all 3 es2 knobs have a detent in the middle position or just 2 of them? On mine it’s just 2

Made in China....count me out

Great demo, but also disappointed by the sound. 2024 level should sound close to superior drummer or getgood drums. They lack character, mainly present in a good room sound. They mostly sound plastic. Thanks for the video!

Just Picked 1 Up Today, Excited beyond description Aleutian Blue $450 Steal. Thanks !

Hi i bought this guitar about a week ago one Questionen what Strings are on this guitar

I prefer the XT's Studio 5's mix is too bright and separated and bass is more present.

Nice job! Cool guitar

Nice playing, great sound! That'll eventually be my main gigging guitar, once I grow out of my pair of Alvarez Masterworks Elite all solid Black Walnut ladies

what about the strings?

Ashtray bridge and brass saddles = £10 Bone nut = £10 Decent alnico pickup set = 70 pounds Setup = 40 pounds Electronics upgrade = 40 pounds Better tuners = 30 = 200 pounds Sure it won't feel as nice and it will always have an inferior body and neck but unless you're a professional musician, totally avoid the American fender. You'd be crazy to buy it to play in local bands or at home. Waste of money.

What was the up grade ?

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great presentation! Cool hybrid instrument!! Alvarez makes great guitars!!

Hey. That’s my guitar. Give it… oh wait. I still have it.

I just bought one...the top of the line Blue reliced hhs..only 664.00...it's killer..i replaced the shitty strings and lowered the action..beautiful resonant guitar..pick ups are remarkable..this is a tone monster..I have a 61 SG reissue...a 1970 Ovation Preacher...and a custom made Firebird..I play the Vintage now almost all the time...love it.

Machine gunning quite a bit. Thanks for the snare demo

Thank you for blending the mic and the output I always run this was when recording and most of the other videos do one or the other but not at the same time.

good review

Do they do a model with a bigsby?

Really nice guitar. Thanks.

So, Duesenberg has finally re-created a Gibson Sonex.

I’d go with a jazzmaster acoustasonic

Bought it, returned it. Perfectly made one trick pony. Non standard size pickguard.

Great

As always a well produced demo video. I always love the In the Mix portion where The Jamey Twins or maybe better yet, The 2 Jame's Gang does double duty with Rythym and Lead. I have a friend that has a Starplayer TV and I will be sending him a link to this demo. He will be chompin at the bit mad at me (in a good way) cuz he knows one of these would be a nice piece next to his Starplayer. All's I am going to say to him iis this "Abdiel, when You do pull the trigger, please do so at the Tarpley store in Burleson where the rest of your Dusenberg Collection is hanging on the wall, awaiting your arrival. Oh, how my naked ears were tortured by the Dusies on the wall.

the acoustic stuff on the acoustasonic sound great but the single coil sounds like shit honestly. everything on the t5 sounds great. it also looks about a hundred times better, even the one you were playing which is their ugliest model. i say this as a massive fan of fender. the acoustasonics are very disappointing imo. never played the acoustasonic personally but i've messed with the t5z at a guitar center once. it was fun to play

Cool round about description , thanks

Could,nt tell, so very close

Js22 or20??????

Suona is italian for “plays”

Nice guitars for the price. The only thing I don't like on them is the FR 1000, which is inferior to a German made Floyd. Necks are nice, body is lightweight and well carved.

None of those tones would be useable, IMO. Its trying too hard to be a jack of all trades, but it doesnt do anything particularly well.

Looks easy enough, however, you said save it as a template but you never showed the user how to save it as a template. I know,... you would think the user would think to click make Default, ... right? Well some have hit OK and that setup was gone and they had to start over. Please complete the instruction as if you were doing it for the first time. Other than that, Great Video.

Also want to add: nice job with the review and playing.

I'm glad you did this review. I have the same exact guitar you're playing. When I tried it at guitar center 4 years ago.. I was amazed and hooked. I got some $ off because of some scratches. Great little guitar. Nice tone, stays in tune, plays very comfortable and a price you can't beat. I even used it for a song on one of my past CDs. Will use it for another upcoming recording.

That intro was so epic I subscribed before watching the rest of the video! Rock on!

How’s the tuning stability?

There have been some comments about MIJ basswood bodies in this comment section. There is nothing wrong with basswood. I own two International Color MIJ Stratocasters. Red and Yellow. One with a maple neck the other with rosewood(red one). The basswood is very light. The yellow guitar is 7 lbs and the red one is 7lbs 2oz. I also own an American Pro 2 strat with an alder body. It is heavier. The MIJ strats are amazing quality. My American strat has more features and different hardware but the Japanese strats hold their own against it. I prefer the basswood because of its lightness. I would choose a basswood body strat over an alder, all other things being equal. 🎸👍

You just can't beat a Yamaha for the money and quality.

The price difference isn’t totally all about sound. It’s things like but not limited to pots, locking tuners, and most important to me is the feel in the hands. Obviously all of this can be addressed to the squire.

I know the Chinese ones are not as good, but I loved mine so much that i went and dropped 2.8k on the USA Casino. Love them both!

I reccomend putting a set of Tonerider Hot Classic pickups in an Affinity. Quite cheap but massive upgrade.

Are those pickups noisy?

You play that thang! 😂 amazing guitar!

It's nice to hear all the possibilities you won't hear in the store. Keep up your presentations.

Thanks..I learnend ..And Enjoyed
