[@just_kyashi]

[@sprite0nation]

From what I've gotten over the years the price has almost nothing to do with the tone or the feel of the guitar. It's mostly quality of life stuff. How well it holds tuning, how long the materials will last, defects, etc. $500-$1000 seems to be the sweet spot.

[@dr.derplols8312]

Should have given him everything tuned properly to make it more fair

That $20k PRS was outrageously nice. I would have probably ended up with the Hollowbody II too though, I’ve played a few of those that I absolutely loved. Great video man!

The amount of Canadian hints Brandon dropped to Royziv to tune the guitars before giving them to him 😅😂

[@lglg64]

Yeah lol

[@tylerparkermusic]

Unrelated, but you are one of the best teachers on youtube. Seriously, ive seen them all by now 😂 Very technically sound and great musicianship! Rarely do you see both in one. Many are either great players who can’t explain, or great at explaining but their playing isn’t as tight - so they overcomplicate with theory rather than practice. Anyway, I’m sure 52 week player is a great value, but some of us already have enough skill (or resourcefulness) that we don’t really feel it’s worth it. I suggest you make a few patreon tiers for those of us fall in that category. Maybe an extra vid / lesson a week, tabs on screen. Nothing too crazy ✌️

[@paullister7293]

Really enjoyed this - my fave was definitely the $20k PRS though - the tone on that on clean was so balanced and complete. And your first choice was my second.

[@dewapratama4266]

yeah price speaks for itself obvs

[@Furiora]

Honestly bro, the fact you can play so well while blindfolded blows me away. Also, maybe check out some 8s in the future, you don't have to djent on them, I know some jazz players like them for doing extended chord inversions. Oh, and the 8th is normally tuned to an F# an octave lower then the 2nd fret E on a six.

[@NelderGuitar]

I was rooting for the YJM strat but immediately when that blue PRS came out it was over

[@flatroc1]

I recently did this in Alberta Canada, at a major guitar shop. My budget was 1000$ to 3000$ in an Strat style body. They picked 5 guitars, unknown to me at the time, a Fender American, a PRS S2 Custom 24, a G&L Legacy, a Squier and a Godin Session. Same amp and room, I went by feel and sound alone. I walked away with the Godin Session HT matt black. Love it.

[@approachingthesky]

i like how he got the best littel melody on a squier and not on those other expensive guitars in the beggining

This was an interesting concept that just wasn't really planned that well. While Brandon played the guitar, Roy should have been grabbing the next guitar and starting to tune them so they were good to play when handed over. Still a fun video though.
