Is This The Perfect Guitar? - Valenti Nebula

[@RichardsGuitarshop]

Thank you so much for doing this video and so glad you also loved it!!! For years and years I’ve wanted to be passionate about a premium electric guitar brand after feeling totally dead inside when supplying the brands we all consider premium. For me - PRS always were soulless despite the hype and PR surrounding them - Gibson / don’t even get me started. Custom shop fenders …. I was always like “why?” What makes a strat so iconic is its simple playable design - almost looks wierd when it’s glammed up. Luigi - he’s a breath of fresh air - he is someone whose primary mission every time is perfection. Every detail is painstakingly covered. I won’t put links here but anyone who wants to see what he can produce please do look at a few of the guitars I have sold this year. They are just mesmerising in their beauty. So if any electric guitar is worth £5k - it’s definitely Valenti and personally I just love the fact that so few people knows who he is - it makes it all the more special when the buyers tell their friends about him. I think being part of a small family of players is a special thing and I hope he doesn’t grow too fast and lose that very unique aspect of his work. Dowina acoustics are the same breed - built with passion by people who actually care - unlike Gibson who could sell you a guitar made out of paper mache and people would still buy it. Big brands take players passiom and they use it against them - support real builders who the sale means something and puts their dimmer on the table :)

Ok. Let’s talk about expensive. Yes 5-6k is a substantial amount. Of course it is. But this is one man crafting pretty much everything. Including winding the pick ups to whatever spec you like. Carving the top. By hand. Staining, spraying etc. Now look at what people consider fair value for a Klon Centaur with components worth about £50. Or a Pete Cornish pedal? Hand made again yes. But 11k plus? But..People buy them. And love them. Personally. I’d have 2 valentís over a Klon centaur. 😂 I suspect resale values for earlier models will be relatively good too as the brand grows….

Thank you very much Paul for this very kind review. I am super happy you enjoyed this guitar and you did really bring her to life with your playing. Thanks again. I must say, if anyone might be interested in this very guitar, she is currently in stock at my UK dealer "Selectron UK" and you can contact either them or myself for more infos. Luigi

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Luigi, If you can send over the details of Selectron, ill add them to the notes.

[@jackprice7828]

That pickup combination sounds incredible!

[@igorstavtsev5962]

Valenti’s are GREAT!

[@RedRose4711]

Incredible guitar in every way!

[@eddyabacka8403]

Looks Perfect & Sounds Really Amazing!!!! ,, 11 points of 10! ;-))

[@deckert618]

Wow! That is a stunningly beautiful guitar!

[@TheStudioRats]

@@deckert618 yep it’s pretty much perfection.

[@Widdy5150]

Now that's a beautiful guitar!!!! 😋

[@TheStudioRats]

It sure is!

[@bigstewdio]

That is a beautiful guitar, no question, but what really struck me is how much you seemed to enjoy playing it. I've seen you playing a lot of guitars and, perhaps I'm just making it up in my mind, but I always feel I can tell more (or as much) from how you play them than what you say about them. And this really brought out the best in you.

[@TheStudioRats]

@@bigstewdio it is a dream to play, so easy.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

My god. Absolutely gorgeous and it sounds amazing

[@PhreddCrintt]

What an awesome guitar!

[@matthewmacdonald9851]

Looks and sounds utterly spectacular, especially the split-coil tones. Always enjoy your take on just about any piece of gear, not to mention your sublime chops. However, I'll just say that if I'm ever in the market for a guitar in that price range, I'd certainly prefer an onboard tone control easily accessible in the middle of a performance.

[@PXR5-PXR5]

Amazing guitar. Something to dream about. Thanx for the reveiw. 👍

[@alanknox9914]

A great Hawkwind album!

[@TheStudioRats]

Glad you like it!

[@gilesashley1299]

Wow that is one beautiful instrument.

[@TheStudioRats]

Isn’t it just.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Looks like a very well built guitar. Sounds great too.

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

Sweet Christmas, that’s stunning!! Immediate thought was it resembles what I imagine a custom MusicMan Sabre could be, for only slightly more 💵. And the pickups sounds killer to boot. I’ll definitely keep my eyes and ears open to Valenti. First time I’ve come across them.

[@bluepencil99]

Reminds me a bit (less dramatic) of the Giulio Negrini Guitars from Switzerland. Stunning

[@Utube-s8m]

I know them. They’re really interesting too. There’s a grey one with red in it that caught my eye.

[@bobdelair02]

First thing that comes to mind indeed is PRS meet Music Man 😊 It's a stunning instrument ❤

[@Utube-s8m]

Good lord. 🎸💙 plus the quad sounds great.

[@aminahmed2220]

What a fantastic video Paul have a wonderful day ❤😊

[@TheStudioRats]

Thank you! You too!

[@danyevin5153]

what kind of effects are you going through.. the overdrive tone is just perfection... btw, love this guitar

[@TheStudioRats]

@@danyevin5153 the whole vid was using my Quad Cortex capture packs.

[@danyevin5153]

@@TheStudioRats thank you.. I appreciate your great videos.. doesn't help lessen the GAS!

[@BOSSenjoyer]

Amazing looking guitar. The back is as good as the front.

[@Adventuresingearland]

Can’t get over the neck. 😍

[@TheStudioRats]

It sure is a beauty

[@drew1up943]

That guitar is gorgeous! I wonder if it is a coil tap vs. a split coil. 🤔. Either way it’s an amazingly instrument 🤩. Thanks for sharing!

[@thelolguy007]

Even the case has the wow 😮 factor

[@TheStudioRats]

@@thelolguy007 you could sleep in it.

[@marcoromagnoli8778]

A superb instrument made by an incredibly skilled luthier!! And a very nice review. By the electronics is done by TOMA Systems.

[@yvesoberlin3915]

Great video and amazing guitar. Did you spec it out exactly how you wanted it? Also I wondered how the neck feels? More PRS standard neck or more shredder Ibanez sort of flat neck. Anyway thank you for a great video and your playing is of course always very inspiring.

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers, Its not mine, its just in for review but yes you can spec how you want it, its a full custom shop.The neck on this is like a PRS Pat Reg

[@JuddLofthouse]

Yes it’s nice but a Gibson for me any day of the week for that kind of money I like to get something back after using it 😂😂I also have a Gordon smith with goto tuners and trem with pick ups made in house for £1000 …great playing my friend 👍👍

[@mike_aiton]

Lovely sound. Custom shop tele has a threesome with Pete Thorn Suhr and PRS…and produced a genius love child! I champion small builders. I have a Carlo Pierini strat and a Winyard Tele (spanked with mojo). I buy a guitar to keep not to sell, so don’t care about sell on value, so custom shop less exciting for me.

[@stevejcurtis]

Beautiful, and fabulous sounding guitar. (But it is you playing it, and you'd make a Winfield Audition sound fab!🤣)

[@TheStudioRats]

@@stevejcurtis I’ll be checking out Winfield guitars on KZbin.😉

[@southsidejohnny5624]

Nice historical reference of the much missed (not really) Woolworths own-brand guitars that us 60s and 70s kids grew up dreaming off… until we actually played them😂

[@stevejcurtis]

@@southsidejohnny5624 🤣

[@user-abcxyz-xr2eg]

Too nice for me! A Squier strat f.e. is good enough for me. lol

[@cr2843-q9f]

Beautiful guitar, not crazy about the headstock design though

[@anderskarlsson7152]

Fantastic guitar, when do we see the first Ibanez review in this channel 😉

[@TheStudioRats]

I’d like to do a review but Ibanez UK are not great at promoting on KZbin.

[@DBroce]

When does the Thornbucker go in?

[@TheStudioRats]

@@DBroce ha ha

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

Have to get a quote on the Valentine website. How much was yours? I’d just like to know the ballpark.

[@TheStudioRats]

This was sent for review, but as far as I know they start from around the €3k range.

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

@@TheStudioRats cheaper than I thought. Thanks.

[@netzer442]

How does it compare to the HB TE-62? Just kidding, great instrument! ;)

[@CaptainNoDoze]

Nobody likes "unboxing" videos more that manufacturers. That is why "unboxing" videos pay the best.

[@dasninjastix]

The wood grain and color kind of gives it a snake skin look. Slick carve, out of my price range but the video didn't cost me anything to watch. Appreciate the demo 👌

[@TheStudioRats]

Thanks for watching.

[@robfrasier9412]

The best guitar until the next delivery

[@danilaxenovv]

The question is not really related to the video but is it comfortable to play guitar

[@TheStudioRats]

Sure

[@pearlandGUITARIST]

Some guitars are like children. Should be seen, but not heard. 😅 Not this one! Glad it's less expensive than a PRS PS.

[@TJBrennan58]

Costs more than my last car.

[@Lez325]

Nice guitar but at what price???

[@TheStudioRats]

all in the notes.

[@garywaddell6309]

I think people love Lee cause he works with gear most of us can afford where there’s a chance we can enjoy it as we see it online. As nice as it may be, this kind of instrument is so far out of reach for me personally, it’s hard to take it seriously.

[@paulsmith9542]

Looks like posh furniture to me & not an eye candy instrument like an early 50s black guard Tele !!!

[@terrybillington2482]

Nice but. That volume nob And the switch are opposite to what they should be. No volume swells in that guitar.

[@tymanngruter1808]

Looks like an Godin artisan to me! 🤔

[@revtimewest]

Hmmm guitar or car? I guess there are worse ways to waste money.

[@danielsauriol]

at $5000, it HAS to be gorgious. Sorry, not for me...............I prefer the stuff that Lee comes up with ....... hint hint .............

[@BrandOdyssey]

Who the hell buys these? For this much money? Their resale must be terrible.

[@TheStudioRats]

They are custom hand built instruments, I don’t think anyone who would buy one is thinking of selling, I’d say it’s a guitar for life.

[@AnnoyingCritic-is7rp]

You need to tell all these guitar makers to stop doing this. It's done. Its 2024. Computers are the size of a deck of cards. Grab a Firefly or Eart or whatever. Buy two or three.

[@plamenpenkov2865]

Me: Uuuhhhh, me likey... Price: 3000-5000 euro Me: Alright then, ley's se what's new at Harley Benton 🥹😭🤧
