My ENTIRE Guitar Collection!

[@visualkeirockstar]

I'm a rock and metal guitar player but I still really enjoy your videos.

[@tomfox1372]

I do woodworking and you were wondering about the different finishes when something has a dull finish. It is called satin when it has a little bit of a shine that is called a semi gloss and if it’s real shiny, that’s called high gloss.😊

[@DeutschlandGuy]

Beatrix's take on the last two guitars cracked me up, especially how she managed to keep a totally straight face as she reviewed them. She has a great sense of humor. 😂

[@CarlosGonzalez-tx4cb]

You said something in your video about there being people who would say “why would you pay that much for a guitar? The difference isn’t that great.” First I will say, you are absolutely right about the playability aspect. More expensive guitars have more attention to detail in that respect. But in terms of sound, I can say the nuances matter for your artistic expression. Everything from the back and sides that act as an EQ, the sustain of the instrument, the sound of the bracing, they all matter. Thank you for sharing g your collection. It allows people to see a wide range of prices and allows people to make a decision based on what they need and their budget

[@simplemind5370]

I have had only four guitars in my whole life (and I'm already 62) and I keep only two of them: One is a hand made Ryoji Matsuoka M25 from 1985, an unexpensive (around US 400), but very fine and resistant instrument, and the other one is a spanish Studio Guitar from the spanish house "José Ramirez', named "Guitarra del Tiempo" 2022 (around US 3,000), a beautiful instrument in all details that I would highly recomend. Greetings from Mexico City.

[@libertypastor1307]

Listening to you struggle with words (like glossy) brought to my mind a fact I've never really thought commented on, and that is that you speak really good English, and it is not your native tongue! Not enough is said about your efforts to learn a foreign language. I love your accent, your tone of voice (so calming); sometimes I just like to listen to you talk in the background while I do other things; especially this video because I don't own a guitar, and therefore have little interest in the differences; but I know enough about the importance of quality in instruments to respect the importance others put on their "tools" or "toys".

[@fcsolis]

My classical guitar collection is growing, too. They're mostly Cordobas and Yamahas, in the $500 range. I'm practical. I also got a NEXG 2N nylon string in the beginning of the year. I love it to death. Beautiful show. Thank you.

[@Blackbird58]

I have two classical guitars, the first cost several £hundreds 25 years ago, solid wood throughout and looks really well made (tuning pegs are rubbish though!) the second was a "starter" guitar I bought for my entirely indifferent and sadly unmusical youngest daughter, it's made out of plywood-and looks exactly like a guitar which cost less than £100 should look, the thing is, it sounds better than my "proper" Classical guitar! It sustains notes forever and has a delightful light but seriously sure "action"-which translates as fewer bum notes-which I excel at. The only thing I don't like is the neck which is much heavier than I am used to but I can get used to that after an hour or so. Can't really offer any advice to a beginner but if looking for a guitar, check the length and purity of the sustained note, that's the thing which has the biggest single effect on the quality of whatever sound I am able to produce-especially when going for harmonics. You don't have to spend a fortune, just take your time, don't be swayed by its looks, close your eyes when you try it out,

[@puddle5]

The Giussani has a beautiful sound so clear and singing out so sweetly.

[@edokaric4727]

I agree about the beauty of the tones

[@robertocapocchi8379]

Giussani guitars are heavy because the back and sides are doubled up. I have one from 1996, and it is absolutely delightful.

[@beatrixguitar]

Oh really? Good to know!

[@rombsix]

Look up FiniShield (ultra low tack) from De Oro Music. It solves your "the guitar is not shiny" Guitar Lift issue. Also, you can always replace the tuners - Der Jung or Gotoh - any guitar technician can do it, or you can do it yourself.

[@antonyhadjion8376]

I’m with you on the tuners. I love tuners that are smooth turning with no ‘play’. My favourite tuners are hand made Alessi ones from Italy. They are expensive but they are worth it.

[@JeepTraveller2021]

the balance and sustain are discernible even with a single mic. The tonal qualities are diminished but the better guitars still shine through-great comparative showing and descriptions!

[@nhm1069]

Have you ever tried the Dynarette guitar support? You don't need a suction cups to attach to the guitar. I love using mine.

[@robinterkzer8128]

[@davidmolloy126]

Thanks very much Beatrix for another great video.

[@MelvinHughesatp]

Beatrix, my French Polished classical guitar also did not like the suction cups on my Guitar Lift or my Le Support. The maker of the Le Support recommended trying Con-Tact Brand Creative Clear Covering, Versatile and Self-Adhesive Shelf Liner on the parts of the back of the guitar where the suction cups are used. I tried it and have had no further problems with suction cups releasing or failing!

[@jwschrijverhidma]

Really love your Spanish Romance ... I just started playing the guitar to overcome the Covid19-pandemic ... But with my tiny ¾ Voggenreiter, which fights me all the time and not able to ever get a better instrument I will probably never get the opportunity to become much better ... Still my passion for this sound is growing, although it's hard to find a silent place to play without someone shouting at me to stop ... 😪

[@rik_mr.aap866]

My dream is to have a beautiful Cordoba Stage Guitar o.s. someday to play to the stars at night

[@eliasgonzalezl]

Thank you for making this video, I was curious about your Manuel Rodriguez guitars

[@AbolfazlAmouzad-zi8jq]

With a great thanks for giving good information about guitars by introducing your collection. I think cheap guitar isn't suitable for anyone because it has bad effects on playing. A good instrument help to play better and motivates students. Also it gives good sense

[@lenavoyles526]

I recently tried an entry level Manuel Rodriguez in 2024. The Caballero Principio. I thought the tuning pegs were very nice. Definitely better than most in the price range. I also love the very traditional Spanish sound of the MRs.

[@javierLuengo]

[@mwilhelmindetroit]

Very enjoyable. I loved the use of the Spanish Romance on each. Such a lovely tune, I could never tire of it. For a steel string guitar, have you ever tried a parlor size? I think that size allows for more expression, although less volume. Thanks.

[@trebleclefjones4899]

What an amazing collection! I was curious to see if something random like an electric guitar, such as a les paul or a telecaster would pop up. Have you ever thought of getting an electric guitar and an amp to mess around with?

[@lynntunes]

The Giussanni sounds completely different than the others. I’d let the others go and start saving for a boutique luthier-made guitar. It’ll change your life.

[@stalex35]

First of all the video was really interesting. I also wanted to hear your thoughts about enya outside of first video. But most of all I've enjoyed watching you smile soooo warm while hearing chords.

Hi! The word you were looking for was ‘Glossy’.

[@oggiemarinski]

Beatrix, I have two questions about the Cafe Cortado: Is the built- in pre amp with piezo or with mic. I play percussive guitar and I need to hear the hits on the sound board. it only happens when there is a mic inside. I had the previous version of this guitar wit a Fishmann pre amp but only with piezo .. it didnt work for me so I returned it... Since I m going to buy it online, and it does not say anywhere in the description, yo are a good person to ask:) Also, how is the action? are the strings too high, or is it comfortable to play? Your response is very much appreciated. I love your channel :)

[@paperboyqc]

Merci, it s a beautiful collection.

[@Captaincrunch2024]

[@russpalmeri]

Thanks!

[@FrankBirtwistle]

I fell in love with a Baton Rouge steel string guitar just before Covid. I've played it ever since. For some unknown reason I looked at the specifications a month or so ago as I was considering buying a back up - and was shocked to see that my model was a 630mm. No wonder it felt comfortable (my little finger is quite short). Now I'm watching this video and as I don't have a classical guitar at the moment and I was considering a 630mm. Up pops your La Mancha :) - I think I'll get one of those - looks perfect for me!

[@DSW964]

You’re a great musician and have some very cool guitars, but there seems to be a “secret” classical guitarists aren’t talking about. For a traditional style classical guitar, you can get a far superior vintage classical guitar for a fraction of the cost of a new instrument. I just imported a 100+ year old Spanish spruce top from a gallery in France for $1800 (with shipping) with the same specs as a famed 2nd EP Torres. The sound is magical and it would cost 10+ times more if it was ordered new. The only downside is the narrower 49mm nut width, but it will long outlive me and only gain in future value.

[@ThiagoCP]

Which guitar you bought (brand or luthier)? Which is the name of the gallery you bought it from? I have several guitars but I'm unhappy with all of them ☹️

[@DSW964]

@@ThiagoCPI believe it’s not good form to directly advertise for another business on someone else’s KZbin channel. That being said you can easily find the well known US based online marketplace that lists new, used and vintage instruments. From there you can narrow the search to a specific decade the guitar was made. The are only a limited number of reputable European galleries on that site which trade a lot of used vintage instruments, so very easy to narrow down. The key is knowing exactly what you want and understanding the advertised condition before you buy. That said, you’ll pay multiples more for any new CG vs an equal quality vintage one in excellent condition.

[@ThiagoCP]

@@DSW964 Thanks for replying! Are you in Europe? I'm in Brazil so importing any musical instrument from overseas is costly prohibitive. Do you know and can you tell the maker of your 100+ years old Spanish guitar? You paid a very good price for it. I paid 2k USD for an old (around 100 years old) Spanish Valencian guitar, but it doesn't work as a daily drive, it's more like a museum piece. A good brand new guitar from a reputable luthier here will cost you 4k. I'm very interested in vintage guitars, but it's a very hard market to deal with. You need to be very knowledgeable to navigate in this market and to not be fooled, which ends up being a time consuming and very stressful "hobby". I'd much prefer to settle down and have only two great guitars (one cedar, one spruce), but I'm still on the lookout

[@GreenRose242]

This is very exciting to see your guitar collection! Thankyou for sharing with us Beatrix!! Can you recommend me any good classical guitars for adult beginners please?? 💜

[@LiamWakefield]

A recommendation for buying any guitar is to set a budget (keep to it) and visit your local music store. Try out many guitars at and below your budget, even much cheaper. You may be surprised by what you prefer the sound of. If possible, use the shop's practice room or go at a time when there aren't people cranking up amps in the next section. Yamaha do some good starter guitars which are consistent in sound so you can get a benchmark there. Also look at Manuel Rodriguez as they have a good range. I hope you get something which keeps you inspired for years of playing.

[@GreenRose242]

@LiamWakefield Thankyou so much! You comment was very helpful and I will definitely take it on when purchasing! I have actually been looking into the Yamaha begginer guitars I heard they were good. Thankyou again 🙏🏻💙

[@santiagobluerain9370]

Sound great 🎸

[@jasonroberts718]

Hello , 1st let me say you play beautifully totally enjoy your pieces. II have some advice on your delema with the strings here is what you should consider get a eletric hardbody going to recommend a Ibanez with a double locking bridge this will help give the slinky effect with the guitar set up with 9s which is the string gauge of smallest in pack. This will feel like heaven compared to the regular acoustic strings you’re going to need to work up to those and it also helps to tune down 440 tuned to E like piano will add tension as I’m sure your aware of but nylons are so much softer in general. But ya play some simple exercises like 1234 chromatic run say at 5th fret and just do down strokes until you can do more but you give me 20 minutes a few days a week I’ll have you going in no time

[@jasonroberts718]

Also with the Floyd rose it operates on springs so when you go to do a vibrato which is a little bit different technique than classical but generally the same you kinda shake the string a little differently the springs allow the tension to dip and when you go to hit the vibrato the string gives alot quicker which leads to the term slinky strings which are very easy to bend also some scale lengths create sorta the same effect not quite as dramatic as the floyd then of course you get to do all the kewl kid techniques 🎉

[@mtacoustic1]

Suggest you try out a Yamaha SGN (silent guitar nylon). They can be had for less that $700. They come apart and take up very little space in the provided padded gig bag. Initially, mine was nearly unplayable because of extremely high action. A little surgery to the bridge by a luthier removed & lowered the bridge block nearly 1/8th of an inch; and transformed the guitar. It has built in effects, such as reverb and phasing. It sounds superb through an acoustic amp, and is my go-to guitar for classical performances.

Fun fact, cutaways on acoustic/classical guitars don't actually change the sound very much if well designed, so don't be afraid of acoustic changes going to a cutaway classical.

[@TheHesseJames]

That's correct in my experience. My problem wth cutaways on classical guitars is doing jumps to higher registers because my orientation is a bit off.

[@themedallostoryteller1105]

I may be wrong, but I believe the part where the sound develops the most is the area in the bridge, where the brace pattern is made, so that’s why cutaways shouldn’t affect the sound at all.

[@LiamWakefield]

​@@themedallostoryteller1105pretty much so. The traditional brace across the area close to the neck, just past the sound hole restricts a lot of vibration and then there's the neck block which makes the whole area rigid along with the fretboard being glued to the top.

[@diogoferreira9039]

@@droid1008 yes, you are right, if the guitar is built taking that into consideration, it will not afect the sound. I know a couple of luthiers that build amazing cutaway classical guitars.

So basically you but the same guitar over and over. Other than price and a few minor details/modifications from the traditional classical/Spanish guitar. 1 robot, 1 Selmer cut hybrid, 1 short scale. But basically still the same guitar. Not knocking it, I get it. When it (guitar) feels right it is right. Scale length, neck radius, body size. action/string height from the fret. all make a guitar feel right or wrong. Especially for a classical guitarist always playing from the same sitting position. Ergo, size & shape matter.

Manuel Rodrigez guitars sounds nice, however i have a cedro madagascar 2012 maybe , and i visited Luthiers like never before, everything was so unstable, moving neck, gluing of beams was not correct, and finally last time the tuner broke, relative expensive instruments with low work quality, sound aka woods are perfect, but human work behind it poor. for "older guitars" in total went to I guess was Ujlaki if you knew him two times in total, this one countless and plus 2 with new luthiers (Ujlaki passed away last year), now only the wood original everything else changed and works well god know how many months until the next visit.... Sustainable guitar is a bullshit, if you buy an instrument normally is a life long procurement , not a shoe mobile / computer. It is just a reason to pay more for nothing, but fancy text, do you believe in this , or you had to believe, because sponsorship ;). If I am very pessimistic lets calculate lifecycles study guitar as 20 years, concert 40 master guitar 200 years , no one can prove this to me it makes any sense. And their price tag indicate that is high end concert guitar should be good for 80 years with proper storing and luthier support up to maybe forever... Instruments are soulbound items, just keep hoarding them until you die, or accidentally destroyed :(. My MR is the youngest with 12-13 years time, I am relative young , but have 2 20~ years old instruments never had any issues. I am starting to think sustainable guitars will stop working after few years, so it will be sustainable for the company :D Just thinking it is not the best business being a luthier if guitars lasts 20-100 years, so Luthiers come up with new fancy looks more frets composite tops etc.... But in general for me guitars older is better used guitar not a problem, especially if it quality instrument. like a human or a wine with age getting more valuable to the owner. For a professional player that might be different as that will be a tool in the toolbox...
