We would also like to add that the white stuff on the tremolo routing is just excess dried polishing fluid. It can easily be wiped with a rag. We will check all units before shipping out to make sure wala na yan.

[@bpabustan]

I remember during the 80s seeing Dick Dale's Stratocaster having another switch aside sa toggle switch, sabi ni Dick Dale this activates the Neck Pickup in conjunction with ano man ang position ng toggle switch. Itong switching system ng Clifton reminded me of that Dick Dale Strat.

[@iamsh1ft]

Bale 7-way mod switching yung push-pull. Nice!

[@hatsukoi6465]

Yung nabili kong rj gigline skycaster se plus sa shopee (sa rj store mismo) similar dito ang issue 5:00 tapos may mga konting gasgas. Siguro minalas lang talaga sa stock. Sana ma improve pa ang quality control ng mga local brands dito sa pilipinas

[@alvincreatives3974]

Sana lahat ng Pinoy guitar companies eh maging successful at sana madami pang pro musician ang gumamit ng mga guitars na nirerelease nila kaya naman sumabay kulang lang s suporta ng mga local musicians..kasi kung makikita ng mga tao na ginagamit ng mga local musicians ntn mas maeenganyo ang mga tao n mgtry ng local brands.. Buti may mga gantong platform at least na iinform mga tao n may mga local guitars na may magandang quality ng gitara

[@johnerictuboro3420]

Malayo po ang quality ng mga branded guitars. Kaya nga nagrrange 50k pataas kasi andun na comfortability, less issues at sound quality. Malaki na rin kumita ang mga pro musicians kaya siguro doon na sila sa branded. Pang amateur lang talaga siguro mga local brands guitars. Bihira lang na gawin nilang main axe nila sa mga tugtogan ang budgets guitars. Opinyon lang po.😅

[@carljustinemorales2037]

Wow!!! Clifton is starting to make a statement.. interesting ito hehe

[@Nicocaliwan]

Already tried smiger lg2 st, rj vibecaster, maestro clifton at ligaya vintagevibe. VintageVibe feels and looks different. Napaka sarap gamitin.

[@bassyey]

Normal lang 'yan. Hindi lang pang split ng humbuckers ang push-pull, maraming pwede gawin d'yan. Depene sa skill sa electronics. Push-pull just refers to the potentiometer na may switch. Minodify ko Jazz bass (single coils) ko naka-push pull pots 'yung tone knob - series at parallel mode. Pag naka series mas malakas tunog, parallel ang normal.

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

Well, it’s not normal for budget guitars 🫣

Yeah!this is it!.i've been waiting for this review!

[@sonicobsessions947]

Check nyo din yung string, bridge, body and neck allignment ng guitars if you guys are planning to buy 1. Minsan sobrang laki ng space ng low E sa edge ng fingerboard than sa High E kaya may tendency mahulog yung strings especially pag nag vibrato na. Ganda ng gitara for its price.

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

Good call. I’m starting to notice that too. Take note it also happens in fenders. Sometimes it’s just the saddles that are misaligned or bad nut cuts. A way to spot if a guitar is misaligned, check if the Pickguard and body are parellal along the leg curve. Not always accurate pero might as well

Should be included in the video if the brand has sponsored this review. Audience needs to know this to determine if there are biases due to sponsorship. Transparency is important.

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

If this is a biased video then we wouldnt benchmark it to a real fender and discuss the frequency. Some should be smart enough to figure this out.

[@memonomoto7419]

Pax is literally demoing the guitar in every possible setting so you can use your ears and make up your own mind. How biased can they possibly be? Kahit pa sabihin mong sponsored sila, eh narinig mo na nga for yourself yung tunog ng gitara so alam mo na kung maganda o panget, ano pa kailangan mo?

[@mikeben1818]

@@memonomoto7419 My main point is not whether the review is biased or not, my point is, it should be disclosed whether this review is sponsored or not. Pax answered the comment but still did not disclosed whether this is a sponsored review.

[@memonomoto7419]

@@mikeben1818 clearly you're not a content creator, otherwise you would know, but just to educate you on how KZbin works: whenever you upload a video, you need to specify whether your content is sponsored or not. That's why in some videos you'll see a notification even before you watch that the video is sponsored. KZbinrs like Pax are obligaged to put in their videos if it's sponsored. Now if you dont see any notifications? Then it's not sponsored. Now it's one thing to ask if Pax is sponsored in this video, it's another to insinuate that there is a certain bias in his videos. Maybe that wasn't your intention, but that's what your comment insinuated. That's not cool.

[@mikeben1818]

@@memonomoto7419 Then why not simply state in the video or in the video description that this is not a sponsored review? Most people would enjoy more a review that we know it's not sponsored therefore fully unbiased unlike a sponsored review.

[@tetetsky]

Dapat ung benchmark atleast, squire fender or yamaha pacifica or etc…Atleast makikita ntin ung tunog in a budget level kc pag fender US ginagamit iwan na iwan ung budget guitar ehh.😊😊😊

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

Well, kaya Fender ang ginagamit ko ay para maexplain yung tunog ng guitar, hindi para idown yung brand. This is way better than saying, “wow solid. Medyo matalim. Medyo manipis. “ Papaano magiging benchmark kung hindi standard ang reference?

[@tetetsky]

@@PAXmusicgearlifestyle well tama naman to avoid ung words “matalim or matinis” kaso ang layo ng difference pag dating sa tunong. Kc let say fender US yan ehh so quality and sound higher level yan then pag compare mo clifton strat ng tutunog lata c clifton. I suggest, if you will do a benchmark kailngan budget model to budget model. If ur benchmarking clifton budget guitar dapat yamaha, fender or ibanez budget model din para hindi ng naiiwan ung binibenchmark mo. Another analogy is parang kinumpara mo ung kawasaki barako sa harley davidson interms of power, speed and price ang layo dba?

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

@@tetetsky A very random chinese knock off can luckily sound like a 50’s Fender. (Squier Classic Vibe) Yes, you are right about motorcycles, but sadly, these are guitars. If you are not happy with Clifton’s tone performance, check out the LGY Rookiestrat or RJ Tonemaster or RJ Bluesbreaker. They mysteriously beat the diagram… to the point that even I get lost when I post-process their audio. Sometimes, it’s not because it is “budget”. Sometimes, it’s just bad (assuming you don’t like it). I have 30+ reviews, wouldnt hurt to binge them to find the tone that suits you. I hope this gives you clarity. ❤

[@tetetsky]

​@@PAXmusicgearlifestyle "A very random chinese knock off can luckily sound like a Fender" >> Well yes, because of the material and the pickups they install for sure. No worries, I'm a fan of your work and yes, RJ's stand par with fender US and the Tonemaster is very close with the PRS. I may stand corrected baka talagang panget lang. Ang layo kc talaga ehh tunog ng clifton tunog ewan ehh. I felt like walang kalaban laban si clifton ehh, even dun sa graph na pinakita mo, more of the brighter tone and low output meaning tunog Lata ung guitar in short. Maybe in this kind of situation or future video, you could put a lower level below standard like example it will be graded from 1 to 5 then "5" is the highest like 100k above price&tone and 4 is the 80k-50k Standard for price&tone and "3" 40-20k price&tone mid standard and "2" 20-10k price&tone lower mid section then "1" Less than 10k price&tone below standard and budget price. with this grading system my mas benchmark na. Like for example ung Fender US is Price is graded at 4 because it's within 80-50k price and 4 because the tone of the graph then ang rating nya is "4.4" then kung i compare ko sya let say LGY the grade is 1 because it's within less than 10k and the tone base on the graph the tone is similar to the Fender US so the tone is graded 3 so the overall rating "1.3". So ung clifton strat would be at a "1.2" rating. Now in this scenario makikita namin kung saan mo kinicompare ung feature guitar and we could see actual numbers to compare. suggestion lang naman =)
