Lag Hyvibe Acoustic Guitar

[@cheycasters]

That seems like it would be a Buskers dream!!! Killer concept for nowadays too!!

[@peterhutchinson3424]

I found the Bluetooth not reliable. As a busker this will make you look like a fool.

[@brianjones4026]

@@peterhutchinson3424 what do you mean ...

[@oldguy5381]

Talk about a game changer for street performance. Thank Phil your time is appreciated.

[@7Kithara]

I love the way that headstock looks!

[@markmiwurdz202]

@Cod Zilla. Maybe LAG put their logo on on blue because the guitar is "re-chargeable". Some of these new - fangled electric cars have "blue" badges/logos e.g. Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, VW e-Golf. Could be a trend.......

[@myoptik3x103]

Nice change of scenery, and a beautiful sounding guitar, what more can we ask for!

[@richardsandson]

For me there's nothing to dislike about that guitar. Very very cool little instrument.

[@robbestrane]

I believe that the beauty of an acoustic guitar stays in its simplicity, but It's always nice to see something new in the market

[@ChrisPuckett]

During the quarantine in New York City when we were locked in our apartment I played for hours over Sebastian‘s backing tracks, my girlfriend loved it 🤣

[@brian770]

i have been looking at this guitar for a couple months now, and have seen several vids on it. been waiting to pull the trigger until i saw a review from somebody i watched regular and trusted. thank you for doing this and i am now ready to get one.

[@nbrowser]

Wow...amazing guitar! Thanks for going outside to do the video, seriously brings the features to the front.

[@raybbj]

Very cool ................ for what it is. I'd buy one. Great for taking it into the backyard, or down to the river or lake and jam with yourself.

[@gutsrage9616]

That's amazing how far guitars have come amazing all these new features coming out

[@Jack.Waters]

It's simply mind blowing to play. I just received a Model 30. Yes, its invented in France and made in LÂG's privately owned factory that happens to be in China. On the presets I started with Reverb - modified it - renamed it. Added A bit of compression and WOW! Sounds like someone recorded me thru a sound mixer. Just subtle enough to add that professional touch.

[@csnide6702]

You can also buy the HyVibe unit by itself(250) and have it put into your acoustic guitar for around 300 bucks.

[@gfd165]

first week owning this guitar I tell everyone how good it is and what it can do. second week ,sitting on couch with my Martin.

[@ashwarygoel145]

So you mean the old school wins?

[@N8TeK]

Just played out this theory in my head … seems logically correct

[@davidl.4734]

I like the outside background:)

[@sccottheaston9902]

that is arizona i believe!!!

[@h-townsinner9053]

Almost didn't watch, glad I did. Very cool setup. Damnit, now I want one. Cheers

[@pupu6oi74]

I have seen several reviews of this guitar. And this is the best one, really. You explain everything so simply.

[@HD-ph1dc]

Watch Justin Johnson's it is great too.

[@Maiden666jefe]

This is the third video I have seen about the Hyvibe. It still amazes me how great the effects sound.

[@Maiden666jefe]

But it’s the first time I’ve seen it used as a Bluetooth speaker. That is cool.

[@choowie92]

The perfect guitar for busking!

[@jts3339]

It’s like the electric seat adjustment lever in my car. I didn’t know I needed one until the manufacturer put it in there.

[@Swim2TheMoon]

Cool guitar, and another great review! Thanks Phil!

[@tbakersv]

I can't wait to purchase mine. All of the guitar stores know nothing about this revolutionary idea.

[@pismomark4860]

Perfect campfire guitar

[@geralr]

Must be nice being able to be outside in short sleeves in the winter

[@vincelupone]

People get on me for living here in the summer, but you don't have to shovel snow and the heat isn't that bad. The winters are so worth it. I love AZ.

[@manimalace3861]

Its 82 degrees here in los angeles today.

[@noahtenshen]

You can also go outside in short sleeves in Winter. Sure, it might be cold, but know that you can do it. I know...smart ass.

[@dannyj5974]

It's 82 degrees today in California where I am and 83 degrees tomorrow.

[@geralr]

I’m jealous of everyone that’s replied to my comment so far

[@ChadWorthman]

I played a Lag at a local store a couple of years ago and was really impressed with the feel and tone. The effects can be added to any guitar with a Tonewood amp.

[@chriswilson216]

Tonewood amp is trash

[@paulxaviercyr]

That is a lot of cool features... Mind. Blown. Wow.

[@markdakel9253]

Love the video, great choice to go outside, great guitar

[@1rwjwith]

Seems to be a buskers dream...

[@jeffreydooley3745]

This Guitar: Long Term Goal!!

[@JH-ev7wn]

Nice little smooth jam with that backing track!

[@ribboinoi]

It's always a pleasure to here you play, thank you.

[@RosewoodBay]

Phil, you made me want to buy that guitar!

[@spencerbrayall8678]

Dang that’s actually pretty cool. Also love jammin to Sebastion’s tracks!

[@lokarrsboots9337]

The guitar isn't that pricey when I take into account that I save money on a looping pedal, an amp and a bluetooth speaker. Granted, the looping pedal has probably more functionality and the amp would have an overall better sound, those addons would also take up space, extra power (+ an actual power source) and time to setup. Working with this guitar seems like a rather immediate experience which helps creativity a lot.

[@gtr1952]

Wow. I think that's the first 'trick' guitar I've been interested in! $1k is not an expensive guitar, in perspective. 8) Thanks Phil!! Great review!!! --gary

[@ChristopherStandardTime]

oh yeah, Lag stuff. love them. i own two models from their previous generation. for what it's worth, i am only 90sec into the video.

[@terrylstarks]

Wow what will they come up with next? Great price too!!!!! But I’m old school and I don’t even have a pick up on my acoustic. I just like to sit around and mess around. Your right Phil, for busking or some stage work it’s great. Thanks again for a great show!!!!!!

[@andrewcrisp9391]

Just had a demo of one in our local music shop. Had to keep the wallet from jumping out!! It was very nice and very clever.

[@stevenwpierce]

I use his backing tracks all the time.

[@DustyBelew]

My question is how is the guitar itself? Forget the bells and whistles - how does the guitar play? I'm a Takamine guy and I love how they play. I love all the effects on this thing, but I'm skeptical of buying a guitar without putting my hands on it. How's the quality of the actual guitar?

[@markbaum9615]

Nice Versatility ...sounds good Phil

[@Guitarmad365]

Wow thats the future, very neat, very nice for learning. Nice vid.

[@byromtaylor6482]

I had a Martin D18 sold it for this guitar and do not regret it as Ijust cannot put it down ....Sounds best with the Marthin silk enthused strings on it as they bend easier and less harsh than the other Martin strings I had on it These strings make a big difference and I reccomend them on this guitar as this is useful with all the effects on board and I think its a wonderful thing. I actually thought it was going to be a gimic but wanted to try it and just cannot put it down now and so sold the Martin because it was not getting used tho should of probabley kept it to be sentimental. I just Really love the Lag Hyvibe its so much freakin fun do yourselves a favour and buy one ..

[@wojtekpiwowarczykpersonal]

Great review! Really interesting product, great for people who like to improvise and compose on a guitar. Also very nice to see you play acoustic!

[@jasonsapp792]

Wow that is an amazing piece of tech

[@offbeatbassgear]

This is really remarkable, I have to admit...

[@grahamlong8701]

Sounds a bit tinny but nice guitar 🎸🎸🤸🤸🤸

[@wrenchhead4378]

Kinda cool for campfires and keggers.....

[@curtrich3476]

This guitar is awesome!!

[@Naitsirk1]

Thats actually really cool! Thats my «you learn something new every day» for today :)

[@elenbrandt290]

Nothing like a different tool to make you do different things - nice playing!

[@WattchomanBrandySavage]

Awesome guitar. looks good, sounds good with Unique effects and features. Well worth it i'd say.

[@charlygoehring6155]

You keep my jaw open with this stuff!

[@PhillipMcKnight]

Very kind of you. Thank you

[@candylaria5414]

That’s an innovation of the technology YAMAHA pioneered... 🤟🏻

[@philipperodeau7716]

It was created at the same time ... tooks more time for a more advanced device ...

[@lordcustard-smythe-smith9153]

Why didn't someone think of this before ? Great product.

[@jcoulter43]

Good move to show this off outside. Great video as always Phil. God bless and Merry Christmas 🎄🎸👍

[@NathanChartrey]

I do slap percussive style playing on my acoustic have you or know anyone who has tried that style on these guitars? and how well did it sound/come thru when your doing the looping?

[@onesandzeros]

Very nice demo Phil. Good choice on the backing track, I think I saw Sebastian’s channel on intheblues, real cool tracks. Nice back yard too.

[@EddyfyingArt]

Less than halfway through the video, l’m screaming “Shut up and take my money “! 😁

[@mickwells9431]

Great rig. I really enjoyed your playing. Merry Christmas to you and your family Phil !!

[@yesitsvish]

love the tech in this guitar, hope the make a parlour sized one soon

[@2005bjpatton]

Take a look at the Yamaha trans acoustic. They have parlor size with the reverb and chorus. Pretty neat.

[@jimmyz2098]

Incredible. What a great piece of gear. And tasteful playing in this vid too, Phil. Great vid. I'd love to have one of these. Maybe at some point... they come down some in price.

[@JB-tr6nu]

It's either this or Yamaha trans acoustic...seems the LAG has much more to offer & sounds great I've played the Yamaha beautiful sounding without effects.. I need to play the LAG.

[@anderjl276ps]

Cool idea. Cant help but think this is going to be an option on a lot of guitars soon. Great product review Phil....top notch🙂

[@Summervaycay2014]

Cheers Phil , you just sold me a lag hyvibe.....

[@jah8859]

How cool is that!

[@jackpot848]

Damn, Phil, thanks for this video. I was just sitting here noodling on my Guild when it popped up!

[@eddiecharlton3173]

incredible. you should do this more often.

[@The_fruit_nerd]

That's a beautiful carob tree behind you! I hope you get to enjoy the fruits:)

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

Sounds great with effects. Played a Yamaha recently with reverb and delay.

[@guitarshapedpizza]

Zunino is my favorite Backing tack creator.

[@shauncarter924]

Oh man that’s awesome. Wow!!

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

Really cool. I want to play one.

[@cliffmerrill8525]

I have the yamaha parlor transacoustic i love it for travel and small gatherings of family and friends

[@jonneet2126]

Check out the Donner DAT-115S 3/4 size acoustic guitar. It also has an internal amp, though it only has reverb and delay. But, you can buy this 36" overall length guitar for about $100 on Amazon. It can also be plugged into a regular amp. I think, direct from Donner, it's about $200.. As a 69 year old guitar hack, I have a 36" cheapo acoustic steel string guitar that I leave out in my living room, and pick it up and play it like 15 times a day. Handy all the time, and I play slide quite a bit on it in standard tuning. Thinking about getting the Donner. Though I'm a hack, I did play in some bands back in the 70's, and did one tunes at a wedding years ago. Just play for fun now, but could see myself doing a few tunes at an open Mic night or something.

[@michaelsablan8772]

Aloha Phil! Here’s a thought….you can just let music run through it while guitar is idle and leave it in a room, it might help break it in better like the tech that some other company uses with that drone noise going through it. I have the Yamaha Trans acoustic and a Tonewood amp but had not heard of this one. Mahalo nui loa for sharing!

[@scuddy100HYA]

Nice video...how did you adjust the action? Thanks

[@donindri]

Have you ever checked out or reviewed the Tone Wood amp? They are $250 and can be easily installed in almost any guitar. Uses your guitar as a speaker and has effects. Can also be used with midis and sample tank apps or backing tracks. Thanks for posting

[@boufd2008]

Very cool vid and guitar

[@grega4607]

Wow, that is awesome man!

[@ericlewis9638]

Guitar sounds great! I just bought an Orangewood Oliver M on your recommendation! That’s a really green yard for Arizona!🤣

[@andredr_eas7433]

Thanks for this genius video. The guitar seemed to be perfect. Do you still use it ? And do you (or anyone) know other "smart guitars" or solutions with a looper on board? I´ve only heard of carbon models.. but I prefer wood at the time.

[@Ryedor]

Yamaha came out with the transacoustics a few years ago. This is a nice improvement on that technology. It just keeps getting better. I'm waiting for the next step. lol Good stuff Phillip. aye !

[@Nicholas211]

Kind of like the Yamaha Transacoustic except w/o looper and other effects. I do like this guitar.

[@philzyqotsa]

I love my Gibson HP 435R almost pulled the trigger on the Tonewood amp now I will wait till tome wood puts out a version 2 with options like this. Don't get me wrong this awesome but like I said my Gibson is just the best playing and sounding acoustic I have ever played.

[@DriveShaftDrew]

super kool thumbs up shared

[@OnBendedKneeMusic]

I saw the regular Lag guitars at NAMM a few years back. Played it and was blown away. Those weren't for sale. I finally ordered one a couple months later. It was terrible. Sounded and felt like a toy. I was so disappointed. They are beautiful looking, but thats about it. Judging from some of the comments on here, its good to hear these models are better. Note: I played another regular model, the Tremontain, at NAMM before Covid-19. It still was terrible. 😶

[@meatrocket1]

Live grass in Arizona?

[@22bigfig]

Is the guitar, minus the effects etc., Worth $1000 or is it a $500 guitar with effects? In other words if you strip out the extras what level of guitar are we looking at?

[@johnboleyjr.1698]

Yeah, I love this. A Lot.

[@seanhallahan14]

Pretty cool! Very cool actually! My bet is that lots 'o acoustic makers will emulate such capabilities. I don't see how they can't, it's too well packaged flexibility, learning tools and performance possibilities.

[@cheycasters]

You said a Buskers tool and I didnt see that before my last post!

[@bh8365]

Other guitar brands should consider incorporating these features. Nice playing, too.

[@jhackett9482]

Have a trans acoustic by Yamaha. Not as many features but the sound is amazing with chorus and reverb.

[@keithcollins6642]

Excellent video 👍🏻

[@vadeking]

Hyvibe System vs Tonewood amp. COMPARISON PLEASE! If HyVibe can make this system available for well under the price of a tonewood, I would be interested.

[@banman17]

The one thing I would like added to the guitar is the dots on the neck to tell what fret you are at. I asked Hy Vibe if they would be doing this in the future and they said no unfortunately, which I think is the only thing I don't like about that guitar. Otherwise I want one.

[@davidbrassard9125]

How is the action on the guitar, does it plays as good as a taylor or yamaha?

[@Grandpa.Dan8881]

Great video as always, but I knew when you said you did not want to install any more apps on your phone, that you eventually would. ha, ha...

[@millermmsdj]

why is everyone so much better at me at guitar... I will keep trying and hope to be this good one day

[@Bill-YellowDogWelding]

I know what you mean, Joseph. Some times I watch a video like this and want to sell all my guitars! Haha! New Years resolution, tack on some more practice or just plain noodling time. Peace!

[@jimaronson2323]

That is pretty awesome. It sounded good too. Better than the Spark? I would assume the Spark would be a better choice??

[@Kole777]

uhh idk if you can choose between an amp and a guitar.
