holy shit, that's most exciting new guitar brand I've seen in a long time.

[@eburney68]

Not groundbreaking news here, but I love watching Lee and Pete. Not only are you both so damn smooth, but it just warms my heart to see how much joy you both have. Instant mood-booster. Thanks for all the great content. 👏🏼🙌🏻🔥

[@Zeppelin180]

Pete’s pedalboard looks ready for Wembley stadium! 😂

[@danielcookeb90]

What an outro! Boys - your jamming is pure magic! Such good fun. Awesome playing lads - keep up the brilliant videos!

[@peterwestgarth5741]

Captain sounded cooler when he put his shades on.

[@andertons]

How to instantly level up your coolness!

[@benlogan430]

Of course he did? Now imagine if it was at night?!?!?

[@daceyatesfdfband3209]

[@whiteninja2006]

Yes, these are awesome! Perfect blend of old-school vintage vibe and refreshingly new and different!

[@NeilJ894]

Well I wasn't expecting that. They were bloody incredible. And built for quality not budget, quite refreshing. There's a million amazing budget guitars these days you could gig professionaly with. Nice to see some innovative quality for a change. Classy.

[@SuperEdge67]

The coolest thing about this is the bass playing in the intro.

[@mathewoliva1033]

What an intro! My heart is pouring out immense vibes with that one!

[@fenderfreak215]

These guitars look real fresh. Can’t wait to hopefully give one a try at a store eventually

Fantastic Video Guys!!!

[@LloydTheHuman]

Love this guys and Captain's playing progress

[@tellingyoustories]

Love it! So many tones! Digging the green with brown scratch guard. One day!

[@antoinedesanti3151]

Sweet Jesus ! This Outro Jam is out of this world !!!

[@francomartini4328]

There must be something special about these guitars. I don't think I've seen Pete and the Captain enjoy an outro jam so much in ages, perhaps ever.

[@alexanderdeadmansche]

They sound nice. I like it when lesser known companies go for an original design rather than copy a fender or gibson shape

[@adamski101]

Looks very close to a Jazzmaster to me.

[@miromax811]

Original design? Come on, that blue one that Captain playing in the beginning, it looks like a child of Music Man and Fender.

[@javvanicus]

I love that noise rock outro at the end...WICKED!!

[@duanewelsh5611]

Nice guitars, thanks for the heads up!

[@zenncatt]

Capt. Lee: you're sounding great every time I hear you play. Nice job as always to Pete.

[@rickychau7687]

Sago, another Japanese company, is known for using a P90-single-humbucker on their guitars. In fact that guitar is 33" scale and 29 frets. There is a whole world of Japanese domestic brands that are incredible albeit pricey. Mary Guitars and Stilblu are two that make guitars in somewhat the same vein as Oopegg.

[@damonbratcher3146]

I have a stilblu telecaster that I adore!

[@bestboy897]

incredible jam wow

[@RobCmusic]

That wiring is how I wire my SSS Strats, but I use a 3-way rotary switch in place of the bottom tone control. I like the colours of these guitars.

[@benjaminfowler4513]

These look like a modern continuation of the old teisco stuff to me and I really like them, the colors work perfect too.

[@joeg1709]

Cool to see you guys go east. Do you handle Zemaitis guitars at all? One of my favorite rock bands right now are Bandmaid (from Japan) and the rhythm player Miku has really cool signature models that sound awesome.

[@timarnold1024]

These look and sound fantastic. I'd like to try one at some point.

[@jeffmansfield914]

Looks like a love child of a Jazzmaster and a Tele. I like it.

[@GRBAquatics]

Awesome.Thankyou. Love the Body Shape of these. I picked up a Bargain Freedom Guitar that has very similar bottom Horn shape. Due to the 'Downward" Bottom Horn The Freedom is the Most Comfortable Guitar to play Sitting Down. Did you notice any difference in Comfort with these Guitars. Amazing Review/Demo Thankyou.

[@lcpholman]

Love the bling/industrial styling combo

[@ricksigurdson2016]

First thought was a G&L copy with reverse headstock. Too cool for me.

[@scottsanders1960]

Very cool-looking guitars. They have a little bit of a Teisco look to them.

[@thesmellycatjazz]

It's like the stuffed ever Fender model into one guitar

[@jakeanthony93]

"Are you cool enough to play one?" Am I rich enough more like 😂😂

[@SabreLilly.]

I love weird/out-there guitar designs. Consider me thoroughly tempted

[@LJN71]

They look really cool! Like a cross between a Fender custom shop California special and a Warmoth Velocity.

[@jon8021]

While Tokyo may have a lot of musicians (there’s a lot of everything there), Hamamatsu, home of Yamaha, is the true city of music there. In fact, it’s one of UNESCO’s chosen Cities of Music.

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Smoking intro! 👍Top notch guitars.👏

[@johnbowman1052]

Lee I have been looking for that sound for years. What pedals are you using to get that sound in the intro? It made me stop and take immediate notice and I have played it back like a thousand times.

[@YT-bk9wr]

I agree with you guys. This is one of the coolest guitars ever made

[@georgewhite4511]

Mark-I In Aqua Marine Blue,looks so cool

[@FireFly-Band]

Loving Those Headstocks!

[@StringsOfCrossroads]

These look great! Thought I’d order a blue one! Then saw the price. Wowzer may have to save up. But nice to see anew shape and style of guitar.

[@dinadams]

Is it me or is every new guitar brand Anderson’s introduces priced at £2,799 - must be the sweet spot

[@oldmanlearningguitar446]

Nice to see something that isn’t a complete copy of a strat etc. Though it’s still “fendery”. And I’m more than cool enough, thank you very much.

[@iTrove]

WOW.. that honeybadger riff was OUTSTANDING!

[@Tilbo_]

That outro jam tho.... FUEGO!!!

[@lance134679]

I know you can't carry every brand, but I'd check out Godin guitars, as they're reasonably priced and made in Canada. I only have one of their classical guitars, but my next electric will likely be their Stadium HT.

[@tonywood7400]

I have a Godin LGX-SA from 2006 and it is a great guitar. Versatile. A bit heavy but otherwise top notch.

[@benlogan430]

Do it, they are really nice and smell good too.

[@lance134679]

@@tonywood7400 Nice. It's very much a Godin guitar with regular humbuckers and the piezo with its own controls. Not many gigs you couldn't do with that.

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

These are cool for sure

[@TheShinyShow]

Love the 2+4 headstocks

[@stephenhossack4390]

Are you doing a video of PRS HX seriea

[@JesseLeeKing]

I usually don't like the headstocks with 2 on one side and 4 on the other like music man guitars but I like these idk it looks better on their headstock shape. I love the color and finish work. I really dig these guitars and japan guitars are some of the best in the world.

[@hezz74]

One of these would not be "out of place" in my collection. If the Captain wants to sent me out a free sample for market research purposes will graciously accept.😁

[@teknomanning]

Me also I’ve got some left field stuff.Just bought a noventa red tele

What amp is Pete using?

[@gyrospace2]

Killer jam guys

[@obicross]

crazy versatile! but no useless option, all can work in my book

[@jowyong6769]

Not sure if I like them but the knobs on those guitars are pretty cool. Reminds me of something I can't quite put a finger on...something Japanese, industrial and kitcheny? Perhaps like the knobs on an old 4-burner stove? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Buffrt66]

Looks like a guitar that would fit in well with Wolf Alice, Ellie or Joff.

[@noahninetyone]

Glad guitar companies are addressing the issue with three pickups and selecting options

[@oldmanlearningguitar446]

Two are already gone an hour after the video went up. One of which was the pink one Pete played. Would have been the one I picked. But did Pete buy it???

[@joestringsstrings1258]

In 1989 I paid around $500.00 (with hard case) for my Ibanez rg570 at a local shop. It was made in Japan and has a US connection as far as finish check and final shipping. I still have it and it's a wonderful guitar with a fantastic neck and great body wood. What is out there now (with HARDWARE that will last for decades) with such quality that is around the same price point considering 2021 economy? A quality working mans guitar was much more well crafted in 1989 over 2021 imo (more bang for your buck).These look and sound amazing....just crazy expensive for the average Joe.

[@Batsianouski]

Another pink beauty!

[@Sapient_Army]

Nice... On the subject of Japanese guitars. I'd really love to see you do a comparison of the old Ibanez Artist model against their newer AR reissue you have on sale. I have an AR150 MS from 1984 and a 2618 from 1978 you could borrow. Underrated guitars versatile and in cases gorgeous.

[@rtaylor1105]

my son has a newer one...still he hunts for a vintage one ,he's got the bug

[@vaughnwebbermusic]

[@nickwebb9290]

An interesting review. Not meaning to sound critical, just an observation but….this is the second review where Pete’s guitar sounds good but The Captain’s sounds thin and fuzzy. Amp or pedals?

[@unitednihilists]

Oh that outro though? So hot.

[@gabrielvassar7728]

These in a baritone tuning with a plasma pedal + a canyon pedal would be = 💯

A single SPST switch for neck pickup "on" and a 5 position selector would have been a much simpler way to get 1&3 and 1-2-3. Me likey simple.

[@donald-parker]

Lots to like but I hate the knobs and metal part of the pick guard, and the top mount guitar jack. I get that they are derivative of the fenders, but I don't like those aspects of the Fenders they are copying either. I do like the 4x2 headstock with no need for string trees and the PU/wiring.
