GSWJ - JP Reviews the Bedell Belissima Parlour Guitar

[@jeremychapman7243]

I had so much fun with you J.P. I can't express. Glad to see the love for the new Bedell. We have a poutine date to plan...

[@mitchmalloy3468]

I want that guitar and I hate you.

[@JimWalkerMusic]

Missed ya JP! All great news!! I been watching Acoustic Shoppe on KZbin a long time. Visited there once before the pandemic. Awesome store, very knowledgeable staff. Sticker shock was an issue for me. I felt a lil' out of place, like shopping for '76 Chevette at a New Ferrari dealer. Lol!

[@adamhill1216]

Beautiful wood selection on the back, has great projection, wouldn’t think a Parlor sized guitar could sound like that one, very fortunate to live in a time where there’s so many excellent choices with acoustic guitars,, beautiful playing J.P. 👍

[@abeellis4470]

Thank you John. Awesome review of an awesome guitar. I’d love to get my hands on one.

[@JoshuaPolak]

My main axe is a Bedel Coffee House Parlor. For the past 4 years I've just played it constantly; love it! and my guitar came with a K&K Mini Western from the factory! And I run it into a battery powered Fishman.

[@texhaines9957]

Funny, I have listened to your show and TAS. Glad you guys are working together. Someday I'll play a Bedell. Thanks

[@jamesgraff6259]

This one just might be my new favorite

[@captiankidandcrew]

I played that very guitar in the acoustic shoppe! Bought a Furch that day. That guitar is the best parlor I have ever played. It is beyond phenomenal.

[@JimRosebush-g8v]

I played a Furch at Guitar Haus ( Mississauga ) and it blew me away!!!! I wish it was in my price range though !!😒😒

[@jefftiebout1376]

They are amazing guitars, I have one of their Om models. I was able to work with them as they built it. Cocobolo and Adirondack Spruce. An amazing sounding, playing, and beautiful guitar. It’s hard for me to put it down. I also love their environmental policy. It was worth the wait for them to finish it, and the price paid. A great review, thanks.

[@EddieCostelloMusic]

Absolutely stunning .

[@JPCormier]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@DanPhillips-ci7yn]

You need to keep that one!

[@ajlambe1340]

Amazing guitar. The tone is as chewy as French bread. It’s the red cedar I think. The bass is thumping like a drunk kicking up a ruckus on a bar floor and the trebles are precious bells off the walls of an old church steeple and the mids are rich as brewed molasses. One of the best guitars yet to be played so magisterially by JP.

[@ajlambe1340]

I’ve looked at a few and I think you got a special one.

[@pickersgrip]

Sounds great!!

[@kinnjohn]

Western Red Cedar can be fantastic. That it lacks flatpicking headroom, might be a myth! Great guitar and playing!

[@JPCormier]

Couldn't agree more!

[@craigtittsworth9440]

AWESOME!!

[@JPCormier]

Thanks!!

[@dannymacphee4444]

I've been wanting to try a Bedell for years. Have to get me one eventually. Have you ever played a James Goodall? Another one I've been dying to get my hands on. Love these videos..so informative. Thanks J.P.!! ❤

[@theREDC0de]

Glad you´re back

[@PastorDLyons]

J.P.! Bro, when you went KZbin ghost mode I went through detox! Keep doing what you’re doing. I love your content, and you make me want to buy 1,000 acoustic guitars 😂. Love ya dude!

[@simpsimpson5175]

great sounding instrument!!!

[@kellycarmouche7452]

Brother JP, Greetings from loUiSiAna! You are truly The Ambassador of Guitars! I "always" look forward to your videos! Thank You!!🎸❤

[@JPCormier]

I appreciate that!

[@valhandrahan]

Very nice !!!🍻

[@JPCormier]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jordrop]

Chuck Berry did the marketing for them. "He can play the guitar, like playing Bedell...go go....go JP go go".

[@GEKO1200]

😂😂😂indeed!🤦🏻‍♂️

[@cajunqueen5125]

wow, luv this. Can;t afford it, but luv it!

[@michaellaverty1844]

Love it❤️ Can’t afford it but I love it.

[@double00spy]

It is not really a "Fireside" - those Bedell's are slightly deeper body, and usually cost a bit more. The one you have is the one I have been drooling over for months. When I heard you had purchased one after your visit to Springfield, I have been waiting for a review from you. I don't think I can resist anymore - $5000 isn't really that much money anymore, anyway. At least, I keep telling myself that.

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Very nice . . .

[@mohsainshirazi105]

Acoustic is Acoustic. The sound and the looks tell you , the Luthier put all his industry, art and love into it.

[@steveplatiamusic8429]

Amazing sound for such a small body. My playing would not justify a 9k outlay though. Great video JP.

[@mountfairweather]

Martins can't hold a candle to this guitar 🎉

[@mountfairweather]

Sorry for what? You are entitled to your opinions. Martins are great maybe as good as Bedells. But not this parlor ;)

[@JimRosebush-g8v]

OVERRATED Martins!!!

[@jodycopeland1]

Sounds alive

[@JimRosebush-g8v]

They have a Bedell Coffee House Dred. @ Cosmos' in Richmond Hill Ontario and I like it better than any Martin there!!!!

[@Bixll09]

JP, do you have a 12 fret you want to sell?? I am a local. The music store doesn't have one in stock.

[@oldbonesbushcraftrodjackso474]

love that small body .THE GUITAR LOl Another great video John

[@davidmann2988]

How bout tuning beforehand.

[@larryrhindress2972]

What the hell, it's not a Martin, it's a first class Bedell ! Clean , clear and alive!

[@9jmorrison]

The bridge looks like a Classical, wide and more in the fat of the body

[@chester777ful]

Good little guitar but i like jumbo guitars a lot better

[@jeffbeliew6568]

Very noticeable shortage of breath there John. You might want to check your heart. God bless you. Love your music!!

[@frankw.1721]

Jp needs to quit smoking and drop 75 pounds asap. Hope he sees this comment and takes it seriously. We want him around for a long time--his guitar knowledge is great plus he’s just a good guy…so hope you’re listening, sir.

[@karl9026]

@@frankw.1721 Yeah dude. Think about Ginger and all your loving fans. Love you. Want you to be around for years to come.

[@joemathis2451]

It's got compression

[@don911donny9]

That guitar literally sings

[@larrnew]

I don’t hear you mention anything about Taylor guitars… why is that?

[@calebbhawkins]

Kinda reminds me of my Martin 0-18. Nobody told it that wasn’t a dreadnaught. I call it the “Chihuahua” because it talks a lot of smack towards a D-18 for half the body mass.

[@erwinaddison2030]

A metric crap ton! How many kilometers is that?😎

[@cugir321]

I have a couple Bedell chinese made ones....they stopped using chinese makers about 15 years ago.....those guitars have been extremely loud and vintage sounding....opened up at about 12 years old....I use one for open tunings....it's amazing. He must have busted their butts keeping the chinese in line when he was using them....I'm guessing he got tired of dealing with them and pulled everything out of china....but those guitars are amazing for cheapo's. Solid sitka top....mahogony laminate....that laminate must be high grade made.
