Better Than My Masterbuilt Guitars - Valiant Mercury

[@brammanck]

This proves when you have something awesome, something new more awesome will always come. There is always room for a new guitar 😊

[@andrewguevara7367]

lol. So true

[@bostonbesteats364]

I love my Valiant mini-bass. Super high quality and interesting backstory (2 brother's workshop bombed out in Ukraine war, moved and still making great guitars)

[@Thelittleguitarshop]

Great demo Paul, we love the Valliant guitars too, everything you say we agree!

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Thelittleguitarshop

I've been playing a Valiant Jupiter (from the Little Guitar Shop) for a few months now. I like everything about it: especially the flexible switching options with coil splits that actually sound good, the original designed parts, their own pickups. It is awesome.

[@jagerking7020]

I love my Valiant Jupiter bass. The craftsmenship for the price is unbelievable. Mine is 6.89lbs. After playing my fender jazz bass ultra v and picking up the valiant i almost shoot the thing thru the ceiling its so damn light and balances great. Best playing bass i have ever own hands down and i have osned over 100 different basses over the years.

[@tryston2022]

Sounds amazing, and love the control layout!

[@TheStudioRats]

Loads of different tones

[@stmnz]

I really liked the opening solo! beautiful intonation!

[@tubeworkshop]

Uuuuuh yeah, those Valiant Guitars are awesome. Love them!

[@peevee605]

Some incredibly tasty tones and playing here. Well done.

Cheers baby!

[@gentryguitar]

That’s such a cool guitar! I may look into getting one. Your tones are some of my favorites on all of YT! I gotta get some of your tonex captures😂

[@TheStudioRats]

They are honestly fantastic guitars, highly recommended

[@MuntsoMixoLydian]

Has a sweet smooth tone man!

[@MarkFeaGuitar]

Sounds great - impressive tonal variety!

[@TheStudioRats]

Glad you like it!

[@aminahmed2220]

Absolutely fantastic Paul have a great weekend also happy first week of November ❤😊

[@TheStudioRats]

Many thanks

[@pisatel7845]

Sounds very plausible I like the free and melodious sound In no way inferior to top-end custom shop fender models

[@89digits59]

Me likes this guitar - I like everything about it - my kind of build, Love the colour too. 👍

[@TheStudioRats]

It’s a cracking guitar, and I agree on the colour.

[@bbilman056]

put the down payment on my jupiter like 2 months ago, can't wait

[@jagerking7020]

Did you get it in yet?

[@bbilman056]

@@jagerking7020 nope still waiting. They said 4-6 months for mine since it was very custom. Should be January or February

[@Furtheronmusic]

That's a wickedly good guitar!

[@diggerd6489]

Sounds like a shred machine ❤

[@JamTagg]

The spank on the notes has an incredible articulation. How low is your action? BTW, I just bought the MESA BARBA pack and the tones are INCREDIBLE! I'm obsessed with this new sound. Thank you Paul!

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers, I like a fairly medium low action although high enough to get my fingers underneath for bends. I should measure it at some stage for future setups

[@JamTagg]

@@TheStudioRats I would be really interested to know your action height at the 12th fret treble and bass side, as well as pup height! It's such a great sound and I suspect some of the character of the attack has to do with the amount the string is impacting the fretboard. Also, what gauge strings are you using? Kinda look like 10s given the force and movement of your bends.

[@RealROCKnROLLA]

​@@TheStudioRatshi Paul, what trem pedal did you use here? Sounded very very good

[@paulwhiteside1805]

Lovely sounding guitar, Paul. I just don't like the 'road worn' look, though! It's a versatile, practical instrument. 🎸☺

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Paul, i know not for everyone, but I would always choose a relic.

[@Adventuresingearland]

Looks fit. 🤘

[@MuntsoMixoLydian]

Been on their site while I'm listening to you. Yes indeed. Very nice. I want one. I want a new guitar... 😝

[@thelolguy007]

Don’t care much for the look of it but it sure sounds good

[@4CloudySky]

Wow!

[@danidcr]

qué bien toca este tipo! 😎🤘👏

[@stevesteve1965.]

Given me an idea for another squier strat mod..🤔

[@TheStudioRats]

Cool

[@fantomas9240]

Do the code works on Thomann website ?

[@TheStudioRats]

Only on their website as far as I know

[@Utube-s8m]

I have thought you said in Iraq. I was thinking when was Paul guitar shopping in Iraq. You’ve had this awhile. I always ask you are you keeping it? You know which brand I think you’d like a green blue Shabat tele.

[@TheStudioRats]

IRAQ, not know for their guitars 🤣. Ive had the guitar less than a week.

[@Watching-h5r]

@@TheStudioRatsI thought you had it longer. We’ll see if it stays. You seem to really like it but I live the new guitar days. 🎸

[@ArrakisOCE]

It looks like a nice guitar, but the prices are very high!

[@TheStudioRats]

It’s half the price of a fender custom shop

[@zitfril]

I like them, but my wallet is crying!

[@MuseumsBloke]

Great choice for Halloween, lovely guitar… but very surprised you can concentrate at all given the white rug behind you appears to be alive and preparing itself to strike, perhaps reanimated by the devilish riffs you’re extracting from it 😈👻🎃🐶

[@TheStudioRats]

@@MuseumsBloke yep that little doggy is a wrong’n. Cheers fella!

[@Watching-h5r]

@@TheStudioRatsoh I love Digby. I’m sure if he was a person I’m sure he’d be a guitarist.

[@suriakumar4276]

Nice sound,but not cheap.

[@TheStudioRats]

Yes agreed it’s not cheap but quality isn’t. But it is still half the price of a fender custom shop

[@metalmick]

I know it's all about tasted. But you wouldn't buy a relic'd brand new car would you!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

At almost 3 big ones a pop, a bit too salty for my taste.

[@TheToneWork]

My Harley Benton is far superior to Fender's masterbuilds. Not much of a high bar to set.

[@russbradley7914]

Why don’t you play it without all the bloody effects..? So we can hear the actual guitar..?? Thank you.

[@RealROCKnROLLA]

What are you hearing otherwise, a violin?

[@fsdjgygsdsdhuw]

but ,,, uglu guitar

[@thepeetjournal4469]

Why demo this guitar with lots of reverb? Like the guitar do that....... CLEAN!

[@TheStudioRats]

Because it’s my demo and that’s what I like.

[@thepeetjournal4469]

@@TheStudioRats Then you only demo yourself, not the guitar.

@@TheStudioRatswe like what you do. There’s always a critic. You do great Paul. You do go through cleans and overdrive and distortion. Plus, it’s your channel. 🎸J. oh interesting it’s made in Ukraine.
