[@theresejardinier3913]

Idea for a future show. Take an Eastcoast guitar out of stock. Load it with better pups (lollar, bareknuckle, whatever) give it a setup and then blindfold test it against an off-the-shelf mid-range Fender or whatever that cost ten times the price and see which for example Rob, Rabea or Pete prefers. Then you also got a B-stock Eastcoast you could auction off for charity.

[@TheRealReTox]

Staying in tune and being comfortable to play or the two biggest things for a starter guitar. If the guitar doesn't inspire you to play, it'll just sit there collecting dust till it goes in the boot sale. I think most people would say, for a musical instrument, ninety nine quid (plus an amp for a bit more) is minimal risk. If whoever the starting guitarist is doesn't take to it, you're not out that much. Me thinks there will be quite a few more guitars beneath Christmas trees this season.

[@montecroft1174]

Great closing jam.

[@budgetguitaristcom]

For maybe the first time on this channel, I felt like this video had misleading statements. It suggested that Squier Bullet and Classic Vibe guitars don't stay in tune - not necessarily true. It suggested that the quality of the wood in a guitar doesn't matter - not true (think warping over time.) This video had the vibe of telling people "Hey, there's not much difference between these two guitars." They didn't actually come out and SAY that, but read the comments here and you'll see that some people took that message away. I liked the first video on the EastCoast guitars - it seemed real and genuine to me. This video felt like a pitch from a sales dude at Guitar Center. For all of their praise, neither one of these guys would be caught dead on stage with one of these. And they picked the perfect target - people hate the Silver Sky because they hate John Mayer and they think PRS guitars are way overpriced.

[@davedavem]

Rabea (of the East Coast): "[I'm] definitely surprised that it stays in tune, sounds decent, plays alright." Pete: "... You have to remember ... 8, 9, 10 [year old] coming into the shop 'Mummy, Daddy, I wanna a guitar for Christmas.'" Then Rabea recounts two stories where a Bullet didn't stay in tune - he didn't make a sweeping statement that they never do. All that's fine, isn't it? Give the viewers a little credit, they're not idiots and it's obvious the presenters are discussing a budget piece of kit for beginners, not pro kit.

[@bobbysteurer8631]

You all have played a slight variation on this lick before, and it got stuck in my head for a week. Well, now it’s back, baby! Sounding great, fellas.

[@thomaslacroix3691]

man... that intro was awesome!

[@thebestian]

For those of you wondering, the radius is about 16, so very flat. Also more like a D shaped neck. about 200 american dollars including shipping for the lowest model. The tuners are not great (what you find on most cheap guitars), but it's an easy replacement over time. What I found nice is that the pickups are actually decent for the price, which is pretty important. The review I watched, the frets were pretty sharp on their hands, so they would have to fixed if you don't want to maim yourself. This could be good or bad depending on who you are, but I wanted to give some info that's not too readily for my american buddies or anyone.

[@keithbaker296]

Love the vids, love you guys, love the playing. Always very entertaining. All the same, I don't think this was a fair assignment to Rabia or Danish Pete. If the PRS doesn't spank the EC in every possible way except price, then PRS should hang their heads in shame. Having to pull that back and try to balance making the EC look good while not making the PRS appear overpriced isn't realistic, and it doesn't really help your point that spending 100 GBP on an EC guitar (set up by Andertons) is a better value than spending 80 on one out of a catalog house with bad strings and a crap setup. The parents who are going to be buying EC's for Casper and Jane don't know any better, and that's the message I think you're trying to share. It's 100 vs 80 cost. Not 100 vs 2300.

The company "Vintage" has impressive budget strats. They use good materials and all the hardware and pickups are Wilkinson. I have an icon series V6 in a HSS configuration in a relic burst rosewood fingerboard and tortoise shell pick guard. The relicing is done quite poor, but it plays and sounds superb. Got it used for $300 usd. Great value!

[@RantVoidTiggs]

Regarding demoing these into pricey gear, you do still raise a couple of very valid points. Firstly, if anything, it highlights the quality different between entry-level and top-of-the-range guitars that may not be quite as noticeable if you plugged them both into a sub-£100 amp. Knowing whether or not you'll have to replace the guitar as soon as they get a somewhat better amp Secondly, if have a lot of gear yourself and getting your kid their first own guitar, you may well be more comfortable letting them plug into a (half-)decent amp then letting them loose on your grand-plus Fender Strat. Also, as a "perpetual beginner" myself, one thing I can say is that when I'm looking into budget guitars, "Stays In Tune" is a major selling point. Very little is worse than being partway through a practice drill and one of your strings sounding progressively more out of tune when it started off near-perfect.

[@ElectroTone]

A few suggestions for future videos while I enjoy the outro jam: *) Mention what fret sizes are on guitars, especially for models aimed at new players. Alternatively put this information on all guitars on ye official Anderton[e]s website. *) Perhaps consider whether a given instrument is a good representative of its class. What I mean by this, consider for instance the EastCoast GL120. Would that model be a good 'test' guitar if one wanted an inexpensive LP style guitar to see if you like Les Pauls in general (as a new player testing various instruments). In my admittedly limited experience I for one needs to 'live' with a style of guitar for a while until I can definitely say whether or not I am into, say, Strats, or what have you. It isn't sufficient to just test an instrument in a shop, as I have found I can 'warm' to a style of guitar when I have it at home. The opposite can happen as well, so...

[@michaelsokolow9372]

How much of the tone is coming from the Victory Amp and Dane pedal though? Glad it stays in tune, but I feel like a better test for the "first guitar" would do play it through a budget amplifier, as well.

[@tedlammers]

Nice!

[@ColinStuart]

Times sure have changed! When I started in the 1960s, affordable guitars were crap! I just got a guitar for just under $170 USD, and the build an features, would have to been a custom shop! Very happy!

[@justinbouchard]

Good job boys.

[@jameslewis2635]

The thing is with these cheap guitars is that when it starts off playing and sounding decent you can tweak it to make it as good as you like without worrying about ruining your investment. If you pay £2300 for a guitar you are going to be a bit more hesitant to do that. For instance, if you want some more of the biting trebble of the PRS you could fit a treble boost circuit as used by Eric Clapton or put in a new set of pickups. Each of those would cost around the £50 mark to start with. You could tweak the neck by getting the edges rolled and sand off the finish from the back which would probably cost about £80 to be done by a pro or about £15 - £20 if you could do the work yourself. It is the kind of thing you can just make your own knowing that if everything went wrong you could always just buy another one.

[@alanimranali]

Actually, that's what I like about these kinds of comparison videos. Yes, the higher-end multi-thousand guitars sound much better. And they're what you aspire towards being able to afford, and justify getting, one day. But knowing that there are very affordable starter guitars that are still capable of making nice enough sounds whilst you practice and/or save up is nice.

[@milehigh1762]

[@steverolfeca]

They both sound good. The differences in tone on either side, could be down to the players. But at the end of the day, does Pete play something like an East Coast? No. He prefers custom shop Fenders that are way more expensive than the PRS.

[@SrirachaSamson]

2:40 What kind of djent is this?

[@robertobrien2903]

I think longevity of a good setup would be the big difference; especially once you start using the tremolo over a few weeks or a month...if those guitars can hold up to daily playing and only need to be adjusted as often as the more expensive one's they really are a deal. I've always found that over time, you eventually end up spending as much money for a cheap guitar in upgrades, extra setups and mental anguish as you would for a pro model that is very reliable over the same period of time. That would be a good test how long does it take this cheap guitar to cost as much as an expensive guitar...
