GSWJ - Channel Debut!! Cirrus Guitars - The American Made Budget Masterpiece

[@CirrusGuitars]

Hello everyone! Tobin (operations manager) here at cirrus! We are so excited to see all the love for our guitars! Thank you all for the support!

[@peteralicea1968]

Any where in Pennsylvania, to play one of your Guitars?

[@CirrusGuitars]

@peteralicea1968 we currently have acoustic music works as a dealer! Be sure to check out the guitars we have in stock with them, an COMD out of Indian and Adirondack and a CDread out of mahogany and Adirondack!

[@d.j.williams-hello]

Hey Tobin, I see your name on the inside of one of my guitars :). 33.3

[@joebubbit]

How about some smaller nut sizes for us shorthands?

[@d.j.williams-hello]

@@joebubbit Noooooo! Just now getting the world to 1.5" string spacing minimum finally!

[@stacypardue5974]

I would never buy a guitar without your review I just spent half my vacay this week watching your vids. Great job and appreciate what you do!

[@larryrhindress2972]

It sounds like an orchestra. The price is amazing. Clean and pure projection.

[@gregrogers195]

WOW!! I didn't wake up this morning thinking I was going to buy a guitar but Damn!!!! These guy's check all the boxes, thanks JP..

[@cajunqueen5125]

haha, yup

[@bradbaker4679]

It seems my definition of “budget” is much less

[@theREDC0de]

Well he´s a professional musician. Guess it´s like handyman tools vs construction site equipment

[@edwardgarner1299]

I feel the same about "budget" cost.

[@mountfairweather]

Just buy a FG800

[@sunnyray7819]

Sounds nice! Glad to see a company step up and make American, and try to do it on a budget.

[@kevindean1327]

I saw a white caribou on a pipeline job in Alberta a few years back. Probably a once in a lifetime spotting for me. That is a superb sounding instrument!!!

[@Fat_Masterson]

FYI: You can put $500 down to start the build and they will build as you pay at your own pace. Can’t beat that! (We need to come up with a cool name for that kind of payment plan. The working title for me is “Keeping the Wife off My Back for Buying ANOTHER Guitar” payment method. Admittedly, it’s a work in progress). -Scott

[@ronwhited1224]

Outstanding tone on the OM! I'm not usually a Mahogany guy but man this guitar just rings!

[@srbaker]

I feel like I've been waiting for this one my whole life, and didn't even know it.

[@VikramSingh-lr4us]

Love your videos John! Especially your guitar reviews, thank you for your work . Big fan of your channel

[@azcharlie2009]

John, you could play a cigar box and it would sound great. I'd love to lay down 2 grand for an American guitar, but.... Why? I'm not a professional. I'm not really much more than an intermediate player. All I want is a guitar that looks good, sounds good, and stays in tune. Those Korean, Indonesian, Japanese, and yes... even Chinese builders need to eat, too.. And, they make some very fine guitars.

[@Fat_Masterson]

I ordered the OMD model a few weeks ago. Mike and Tobin have been beyond nice/helpful. They really take care of the customer. I ordered directly from Mike and was on the phone for 45 minutes (talking his head off). He couldn’t have been nicer. -Scott

[@pickin4you]

That is a great sounding guitar, but I still can’t afford it. I’m probably going to end up with an Orangewood. From a D28 and a D42 that has to be sold, to now hoping I can get an Orangewood. Just to have something to pick on in my old age.

[@Reformed_Hamburglar]

I know this might not be in the channel's wheelhouse but I'd really love to see some companies domestic or overseas make high end old style archtops again in the style of original super 400's, D'Angelicos, Epi's and Strombergs at great prices. It seems the flat top market gets all the love while modern arch makers keep going somewhere else with their designs (and pricing).

[@Mskenergy]

Man! It sounds just as good as alverez guitars that i own! Sounds amazing, as always great videos on your channel great demos and u play and sound great!

[@NatePlays9]

Sounds amazing.

[@buddymacdonald]

One of the nicest OM's I've heard you play JP ..love it

[@jamesgraff6259]

Again the tone puts me in my happy place

[@markinmemphis]

Always love the reviews, JP! At $2300 I’m not sure I’d call it a budget buy, but looks like a great gigging instrument for someone looking for something different. Hard to believe getting an Adirondack top for that price.

[@localguy8]

I agree I think anywhere in 1500-1800 seems reasonable for a ‘low’ price starter🎸🎸🎸❤️☮️

[@JoseSalas-wn7im]

Thank you for a great video. I will check them out.

[@davestambaugh7282]

I would have to put some side dots although I never saw any use in having anything on the face of the fret board.

[@tommc49]

Hadn't heard of these before (and not sure how I ended up here) but definitely going to look into them. Thanks for posting.

[@thefreese1]

I love Mahogany. The last 2 I built were Mahogany dreadnoughts . Now I am thinking about building an OM out of Black Limba which has a lot of depth like Mahogany..... that one rocks !!! Thanks JP . Great review.

[@michaellaverty1844]

Awesome guitar that won’t break the bank and sound and looks great. One just may be in my future.👍🏻

[@RandyBroyhill-f6e]

Mr John do you think the bass is clear and strong enough to keep up in bluegrass? I’m a short guy and looking for a om/ooo that can keep up. I know the volume won’t be the same but I’ve had my Martin 00028 for years and the only thing I need is a pronounced bass. I love my small bodies but the only thing comfortable enough with enough bass to be heard is a Martin m36 and I haven’t played one that spoke to me. Also they’re well over 3000 now lol thanks for any input and thank you for all this amazing content!

[@235buz]

I'm a half hour drive away, I'm checking them out. Thanks for nice demo.

[@dankeck6230]

Just a comment. Don't really expect a reply. If this is the greatest $2,300 guitar, how does it compare with the Hsienmo? Last week, the Hsienmo was the best guitar you could buy.. Thanks

[@robertbryson4576]

I can understand someone wanting to buy a guitar built in their own country. I guess I'm lucky that I have some great builders to choose from here in Ireland and I do have a Lowden and an Avalon. However, I am happy to buy a guitar from anywhere if the price and quality is right. In most things that means Japan or sometimes other places in the far east but 2300 US dollars for that Cirrus adds the US to the list. P.S. l got to play a lovely little 1940's 'austerity era' all mahogany Martin about 30 years ago and that Cirrus has a similar vibe. Love it.

[@Tshdb-74737]

Sounds like a nice round clear open tone. Will probably last many lifetimes. I'd like to be apart of a company like that.

[@TDUB-o3g]

That is sweet sounding. I need one....

[@russg.9348]

I need this in my life!!!

[@JackTheRabbitMusic]

If I had any money, I would buy myself one of these. I’m super cirrus.

[@bribo134]

What did you mean when you said you decided to partner with them?

[@michaelmcdonald3057]

I also noticed you have it tuned to a low D. Makes it ring better and sound more resonant. Sales trick? I hope not.

[@RandyBroyhill-f6e]

It’s a good way to tell if a small body has bass clarity. He’s just an awesome demonstrator. I don’t think he’s trying to be a salesmen at all but looking at all of his content. He also gets emotional when people go out of their way to present him with guitars and opportunities. Just seems like a genuine person

[@joesbanjointerests9281]

I must play some of those now.

[@PJReikiMaster]

Think I would still go for a used Martin HD-28 or a used Gibson J200

[@abelinolopez1957]

Hello mister john I hope you are well. I have a question for you please. What do you think about the yamaha fgx5 now in 2024 ? Would you buy it instead of j45 gibson ,or martin d18?

[@guitardog]

Love it!

[@GK-vj9dz]

i have the eastman e10om-tc. i'd love to hear them side by side. the b&s look to be sapele. too many people argue its merits to be claimed as mahogany, but i consider it to be such. i'm assuming this is a 25.4 (or.5)" scale length? the e10d is 24.9".

[@mikehoehn1475]

It does sound good

[@aaronmaurer6874]

You had Larrivee in Canada before they moved to California. How would you compare the two?

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Hey JP, get your paws on a CIRRUS C00-14 and play it for us too...

[@cajunqueen5125]

👍👍👍

[@Pactolus240]

Is there a truss rod in the neck?

[@acadianflatpicker]

You can get a Gibson J15 or J35 second hand below 2K

[@scottfishkind5335]

I’d be curious to hear that against Yairi FYM60 to see if it holds up. 2K plus not budget priced by any means but if in the Yairi class or Bourgeois Touchstone then a great price for that level guitar!

[@kevindean1327]

I bought a 1984 K Yairi AR 321 this last summer for $400 cnd. Superb guitar!!!

[@tomformanek3312]

A few are already on Reverb including dreadnoughts.

[@cajunqueen5125]

$2300 US = $3200 Cdn (Plus whatever shipping applicable; plus K&K if wanna do that as well)

[@michaelmcdonald3057]

I take that D comment back. Missed the part where you went to a drop D. My apologies.

[@DanPhillips-ci7yn]

Beautiful, sounds great thanks J,P. I don't remember my Martin sounding that good.

[@junichiikeda5860]

USA dollars right? So One Billion Cdn.?

[@wm3798]

So 3200.00 canadian then? Ya quite a chunk of change if your a working man or woman on a budget....they are probably worth it tho for the tone and the workmanship.....and again there are cheaper alternatives that would give these a run for their money.......cheers everybody..... =)

[@soofitnsexy]

these are very expensive

[@keithsnowdon8672]

Was wanting to learn guitar as 3rd instrument. Everything i look at has been manufactured in China. Not wanting to pay more than £500 UK.. Given up now. Ot paying hunfreds for Chinese.

[@DarkTideOffroad]

damn i just realized that every video i watch of yours you are trying to sell me something

[@mickymillersson4376]

I can’t buy that! 😂

[@elsizzle2000]

These are affordable?? Yeah no im getting Hsienmo

[@michaelmcdonald3057]

2300$ ? I guess if you factor in inflation to some that may be considered reasonable. If I had that kind of money to spend on a box I believe I would go for a Martin. Tried and true, never loses it"s value, also American made. Nice try until you stated they are "almost hand made." Sounds wonderful and seems high quality, but I own several Asian made acoustics that have excellent sound, playability and workmanship. Blueridge, Cort, Alvarez. not one more than 900$ new. Most guitar players must have more than one instrument, I could not possibly afford a stable of Martins, Collings or Cirrus's.

[@endoffate5475]

The logo and the name of this company makes it look liek a cheap guitar.. Like some unknown cheap brand. They should get something better IMO.

[@alastair6356]

What a tone it resonates beautifully and sustains forever.🤩👍MAGA guitars rock.

[@Patriot1777]

$2,300.00 isn't cheap 😮

[@Tbone1952]

CNC machines ……..?budget masterpiece for $2300 sounds really good
