[@RhettShull]

Man, that was such a fun day!

[@roykylan677]

I realize Im kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream new tv shows online?

[@killiansantiago7568]

@Roy Kylan lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@tomdecuca3627]

Look at all that cool old gear!! A real Mellotron!!

[@VonBluesman]

What a dream studio with some super fine equipment and killer playing. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@JeffKeel]

[@michaelnachoescamilla6241]

Good night! That studio is WICKED!!

[@JCruzProject]

Loving the quality!!!! Great video!

[@redfaust8189]

I love this video concept so much. Showing a stand guitar shoot out video over the back drop of you life as a guitarist in Nashville. So cool!

[@isaacjohnson.]

Looks like a great time! Cool studio, cool guitars, cool people and great musicians.

[@TheFeelButton]

Nothing like a good studio hang! Thanks RJ 🤙

[@JohnnyBgood548]

Might be best guitar maker period! I need a Novo three single coils jazzmaster shape!

[@uyngane]

Hey RJ Just spent a week in your town. Wish I coulda seen you in action. From the Opry (of course) to Broadway it was all amazing. Wall to wall music. The Eskimo Brothers, Them Vibes (My fav!) JD Souther sat in with a great band High South doing some awesome Eagles sounds. So good. NEXT time I hope to add you to the list.

[@18JR78]

What is that hanging down the guitar cable at 5:50? That ASMR bit had me cracking up, instant classic hahaha.

[@chrislestermusic]

Now that’s a studio!

[@jeffhebert9643]

Love the single P 90 Rivolta

[@joeagro6610]

Dig'n it RJ...nice work & tanks fer post'n dis'chit . . .vintage fer days bro :) ( ps - all hail to King Dennis )

[@cardbored_]

Man, that sparkle novo is so FKN SICK!

[@Jesterzero138]

[@Prettynoise]

RJ those Lollar Gold Foils sound amazing!

[@frantisca]

Home studio...!? What kinda home is this anyway ??? =:-O

[@natw42]

Just sub’d.. interesting to hear the same guitars w different hands. Looking forward to checking out more of your content!

[@Sooby007]

[@Atttuner]

What a tool - great vid RJ

[@rescd4]

Great video. Who did the song at the beginning and during the equipment pans ? Some info about the hat sitting on the reel to reel. Please Thanks

[@douglasmayhall8279]

this what you would call a target and talent rich environment..

[@larryb7585]

Man...I want a Novo bad!!!

[@metalmulisha0143]

Those amps... Oh my word

[@lloydfranks1357]

Just how fun would it have been to hang out this day? Guys I am so envious!!!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Matthew looks like Daniel Steinhardt’s brother.

[@Chuck-hr2gr]

You're a cool player RJ with great feel other guys who spend $000's on boutique guitars and flash camera gear but have never really toured or played pro come across as inauthentically you might imagine. Stay true to your vibe man.

[@minisurfbanana]

Chuck 8581 so I can’t buy nice things cause I never toured? 🙄😂🤦‍♂️

[@jpford96]

RJ: "We're at a mutual friends home studio. I don't want to give too many details" Also RJ: "That was an amazing day. Kevin's studio". We're halfway there to knowing who's studio it is

[@frantisca]

Yeah: lookup for "studio" Kevin" "Tennessee" and there you are ! :-)))

[@RJRonquillo]

Check the description ;)

[@frantisca]

R.J. Ronquillo Aha ! 😄👍🏻🤘🏻🎸

[@frantisca]

R.J. Ronquillo Impressive carreer your friend Kevin ! 😲 about as much as his gear 😉😎

[@tinyb4165]

That Meghan Trainor hint drop, in front of her Plutonium Record, was pretty sly. 🤔🤫🤣

[@stevenstabile4379]

You're talking about guitars that are in the $3000-$5000 range, out of reach by most musicians and I like Rhett but I'm sure he's endorsed by Novo guitars!! I met Jack Pearson in Nashville who was introduced to me by Brent Mason, and Jack is a monster player and has a lot of beautiful guitars yet a lot of times you'll see him, especially in the Allman Brothers Tribute shows playing a low end Fender Stratocaster he bought for $100!! I play a PRS Brent Mason model Brent gave me himself otherwise I couldn't afford it and I absolutely LOVE it!! It really is frustrating when you see a musician you love playing a guitar that costs more than you paid for your car!!! But Jack makes that $100 guitar sing showing that it's a poor craftsman that blames his tools!!! But guitars are getting better such as the guitars made by Sire that are a tribute to Larry Carlton that start at $595 and I'm looking forward to trying them out but so far they're sold out fast!! Even Epiphone is beefing up their quality and keeping the prices down!!! I guess what I'm trying to say is you don't need a $5000 guitar to sound like a million dollars!!! Just keep playing!!!

[@stratmatt73]

Or, you can get a job, save up, sacrifice a bit, and play anything you want.

[@AlexP-1987]

Where can I find the video's you guys made at this day? Greetings from Germany ✌

[@BladeDoomer86]

Call me crazy, but the Mondata 8 (in red) is one of the most gorgeous guits ever made..... I need one in my life, i do! So hard to get though!

[@Skoora]

Would be nice to know what amps or sims you were using for the dirty tones. They sounded pretty sweet.

[@BrazenNL]

That cut to Beavis and Butthead and Marvin Gay. :D I'll never grow up ...

[@RJRonquillo]

Neither will I.

[@bluesvertigo3961]

😂😂😂

[@zazoomatt]

Watching the best play out is a Leap Year Invitational just after Rhetts 30th Rj !

[@bluesvertigo3961]

Lmao!!! He said three way!

[@Dug6666666]

Rhett has probably no idea how much street cred that camera is giving him :)

[@Bamagolfandguitar]

That note at 5:27 😂😂😂😂

[@Mr3DBob]

First, there was the unboxing video; now, we have the de-plasticing!

[@Oosh-Xbox]

I don’t think I’d ever marry if i had a studio like that lol

[@red240red2]

Would love a seven string novo!

[@Complicaadd0rock]

"WHO ARE THE THREE PROFESSIONALS?" XDD

[@GregoryHillSr]

Question... when you playing Rhett's guitar, what type of cable was that with the knob on it?? "Taper resistance"

[@RJRonquillo]

Yes, i believe it was adjustable resistance. Basically rolled off highs.

[@markcummings2344]

Turkey in the middle of the road could happen anywhere in Tennessee. Also, did you know that Pringles are made in Tennessee?

[@brysonformaggioni2764]

I would rather get a Novo instead of a car!

[@JohnnyBgood548]

These Novo's are sick!

[@junglestrut]

damn RJ! op cors I learn a new word from a Pilipino guy!! #ASMR 😄

[@danterrymusic]

Looks like an old Bill Putnam board!!!! WHOA!!!!

[@edtaylor7816]

What is R.J playing at 9:00 in? For the life of me, I can't remember...

[@santosluevano]

That swell guitar pedal at the beginning looks like it says smell.

[@MrDavemiley]

What that control on the cable ?? Somehing sillier to GR Z Cable ?

[@RJRonquillo]

Under Tone Audio Vari-Cap guitar cable

[@daceyatesfdfband3209]

R.J. did you notice if Josh ever got him lined out on his slide tone? Lol it may be hopeless. Lol

[@j.rozman7016]

Hi! whats the difference in resonance and sound, playability between Knaggs and Novo? Thanks!

[@RJRonquillo]

Very different designs, but both excellent sounding and playing guitars.

[@physiciansassist1]

Can buy a vintage sg junior for the amount of thre white junior. Not only a vintage piece but kick ass tone

[@waltersmetak]

LOLLAR!!!!!

[@RJRonquillo]

Mr. Sandman

[@TheLastDragon175]

Of course!!!! How could I forget?!! Thanks for the reply, R.J. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing the ins and outs of the music world :) Keep up the great work!

[@zshwn]

[@martyjames1]

[@1man2manynotes]

What’s the name of the band RJ is in? Is their music on Apple Music?

Mama Kin!

[@ronlight7013]

I see what looks like a souped up professional Sony cassette deck sitting on top of the Echrorec. What's its purpose, I wonder?

[@tinyb4165]

It's a Marantz PMD 2??. There are a few different models, 201, 221, 222, not sure of which one that one is. It's a professional grade, 3 head tape recorder, which makes it makes it a very affordable tape echo. When the price of a decent used Echoplex started to go through the roof, people started to find these things used for next to nothing, and started using them as a cheap alternative. Just needed to run them through a small mixer, to separate the record head, from the playback head, and voilà, you've got a tape echo that tape is cheap for, and very easy to maintain. They were also 2 speeds, 1 7/8 ips, or 7/8 ips, and had pitch control to adjust delay time, or play with the pitch. Added bonus, the preamps on them sound great, and you can adjust the gain, much the same as an Echoplex. They make a great lo-fi, low dollar, solution to having a tape echo. As for the 4 pots added to the top, not sure what they control, but I'm inclined to think that they moved the input and output volumes to the top, along with a remote for the speed control.

[@tinyb4165]

Here's a demo that shows what one sounds like. There are actually quite a few, if you want to do a quick search. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXjLY4aceLx8qKc

[@therealdavidleong]

Why is everything teal???

[@bmwf1joel]

This awesome video has been monetized by greedy D-bags!

Kinda useless vid, imho these guitars are not your thing, but it was rude to say out loud? 😂
