Gibson does know about you - because I work for them and have shown your video to them. 😊 it’s important for any builder to be able to take criticism and critical thought. I personally love your channel and it’s helping me up my game. 🙏

I’m a woodworker. I remember the first time I picked up my first high end Taylor in a music store. I spent the first five minutes marveling on the inside of the guitar. I was was a fan because I felt like if a company could put so much care and craftsmanship into the inside of the guitar that this was a company I can trust. I’m glad to see you showing what some would never consider to look at to determine the quality of the company. Good work guys.

You, as a luthier, should be as honest as possible about these other guitars. If this means bashing other guitar companies, so be it. Truth hurts, sometimes. This is my hard earned money I spend on my hobby, I want to know what I'm getting for my money. Great job as always guys. Keep them coming.

This series being controversial is good, I feel like people are afraid to call out bullshit on brands like Gibson, because they need that. So many reviews are like “it’s made of wood and is guitar shaped and sounds good” and these are truly genuine. I was considering buying the g-45 before that video, but now it’s a hell no and I am extremely thankful for that.

I'd love to see a breakdown of a mid-price Eastman. See how they really stack up when they're under a microscope.

Chris, with no disrespect or snark whatsoever; these guitars are approximately 1/10 the base price of your guitars (per your website). Could you (would you) do a video where you build a guitar of your own at the $1500-$3000 price point? I think it would be educational and interesting to see what sacrifices/compromises/shortcuts etc could be made to maintain quality and still get down that price point. Thank you for your videos, they really are inspiring and appreciated,

I, for one, never assumed you are doing these breakdowns to sell your guitars. Your instruments are a way higher class than a factory made one like a Gibson line. Your point about glue squeeze out and pride of craftsmanship is important. I play Furch guitars because the craftsmanship is outstanding along with the quality and tone. My Blue 6 string cost about $100 more than that Gibby, all solid tone woods and impeccable playing environment and tone. Keep up the great work, I recently tried that G 45 and that dead tone that I heard in your tear down was there in spades. It was awful.

You are absolutely right, "The Gibson label should mean something." The workmanship I see in that guitar for that price infuriates me. When you buy a Gibson or a Martin you should be able to have confidence that the workmanship is as top notch as it can be for a factory built guitar. This truly is a slap in the face to their customers, they really are saying "Oh we can put Gibson on a piece of crap and the suckers will still buy it." Instead of the people coming after you for pointing out the obvious, they should be emailing/calling/writing Gibson and DEMANDING better. A good friend once told me "In everything you do have three things: Patience, Persistence and Craftsmanship." That guitar has none of those.

A good video would be where you give recommendations for factory-made guitars @ $500, @1,200, @ $ 3,500, etc and if there are luthiers that make guitars in those price ranges, include them as well. While it's good to know which guitars to avoid, it's better to know which ones to seek in specific price ranges.

My new favourite guitar channel! Greetings from Spain!

I’m often asked to recommend a guitar brand to a prospective buyer, usually a beginner. Knowing that they don’t have a ton of money to spend, I suggest that they look at the Yamaha range. It’s long been my belief that with Yamaha, you get what you pay for at whatever level you choose. How about cutting up a Yamaha or two to test my theory? Keep up the good work!

So let me get this straight the only thing you found was the fact that there was glue squeezed out of the interior bracing and a plastic dowl was used for the strap screw support both of which does not effect the integrity of the guitar in any way. You glossed over the fact that the g45 has a compound dovetail joint which is only found in Higher end instruments and as Luthers you must know that this effects the sound and quality of the guitar. Also, it’s all solid wood and has a solid ebony fingerboard and impeccable fret work and imo sounds great. I owe this guitar and love it .

I was shocked by the quality of workmanship in the original video. For me, I want you to say what you really think. I am a Gibson solid body owner and love my guitars but after this, I will think very hard about buying a Gibson acoustic. You are providing a valuable service to the community and I thank you.

I have a g45 I really like the feel and sound over other guitars 🎸 I played at the music store - For the price I’m very happy 😊

I can't do more than loudly and happily applaud you guys. Good job and we'll done!

Finley someone who's going to say what needs to be said about these big brands, keep up the good work guys, honesty deserves respect.

I just purchased a G45 and I gotta be honest. It was the easiest player and felt better in the hands than any of the other guitars I tried. That being said, after watching your video I feel like I’ve been cheated by Gibson and I thought about returning it. It’s saving grace is that it plays very smoothly and it’s hard to find a guitar like that so I’m gonna keep it and just be more mindful next time. Love the videos! Hope your criticisms help improve their quality control.

i would love to see breakdowns of the epiphone inspired by Gibson hummingbird, a Sire A4 Larry Carlton, one of the Yamaha LL series? The breakdowns are some of the most useful videos on guitars on You Tube.

These videos are great. I’m not a luthier, but I am an extreme guitar enthusiast, so learning about some of the things in these videos and the factory tour videos has really taught me a lot that I didn’t know. Keep them coming if you can!

As a new builder, these videos help me a ton by outlining what to watch for when building my own instruments. A lot of points you make aren't necessarily digs on the other companies, you are pointing out that they are just not as good as they could be. I appreciate that about the channel, very helpful.

My thoughts: 1. Your reviews are very valuable to buyers 2. The whole G series Gibson's looked cheap to me (and I own and love 2 Gibby's) 3. You stated clearly in the first video that you were grading accordingly to price point 4. Finally the guitars of yours that I've seen looked incredible!

When the G45 was released, I thought it sounded like an interesting, fairly inexpensive guitar but I, too, was absolutely astounded at some of the sloppiness that went into manufacturing the guitar you cut in half - the fact the bracing didn't make it as far as the kerfing made my jaw drop. That plastic screw plug for the strap pin was the straw that broke the camel's back for me, though, and from that point on the G45 was summarily struck off my list of "possible buys". I probably naively assumed that the reason why bindings and other bells and whistles were not included in the price point was due to the more expensive cost of US labour, properly trained luthiers, quality controllers etc. but your breakdown raised an enormous question mark over that assumption and Gibson really does need to explain what has happened here, particularly as we were swamped with video content at the time of the "company relaunch" three or four years ago promising us that quality issues at Gibson are now a thing of the past (I must admit, though, I thought the relaunch was primarily because of past quality issues with their electrics - were the acoustics this bad back then too??). Whatever the story is with this G45 (a model which is now sadly dead to me - RIP), the main thing I wanted to say is many thanks to you for these breakdown videos - they're going to be almost compulsory viewing in the future to help buyers make properly educated decisions based on actual quality and not the perceived quality the headstock logo promises. By the way, Celtic music (to my experience) is almost exclusively populated by Takemine players ;)

Love your videos and learning so much through them. Most of us are clearly grateful to hear you explain and demonstrate your building process in detail. It’s an uncommon act of generosity. Thank you!

Love the info! Great series. I just finished building my first guitar (from a kit); huge respect for all the hand builders out there!

I have one of the very first G45s and I love mine. It's a fantastic sounding and playing guitar. I am sure at the price, it could go either way, but my copy is great. I love it and am very happy with the purchase.

I am an electric player who loves Gibson guitars, and a couple of months ago I was looking to buy an acoustic for the playing around the house. I know very little about acoustics. Your review saved me a ton of money. I watched the Gibson video, and then your vid on the Taylor Academy. I went with the Taylor, saved a bunch of cash, and am happy. Ignore the negative fanboys. You are helping people. Thanks guys.

Thank you for your hard work/service and how thorough your tests are, very insightful, to all of us. Take care.

The breakdown series is awesome! Very educational.

I could see in the original Gibson breakdown that you were holding back how you really felt. I own and love my 2010 Les Paul, but I think I also have one of the few that was actually well built. Gibson has coasted on their name and reputation for so many years now, and as a result, destroyed their name. Instead of trying to rebuild, they have focused on suing other companies that are doing Gibson better, and trying to guilt people into “Playing Authentic”. Love the channel and what you guys build. It would be a dream to own one of your guitars someday.. Keep up the great work.

I played a $250 guitar for years. Recently in the market for a new guitar ($600-$850 price range) I tried out the Martins and Taylors and couldn't understand why they sounded like plastic boxes. I bought an EASTMAN (handmade solid wood guitar) after visiting a local shop and got schooled by an old-time luthier. Before anyone spends hard earned money on any guitar, not just Martin / Taylor / Gibson it's invaluable to see the inside and get a better appreciation of what you're buying. This breakdown is EXACTLY what people need to see. Chris & Matt - please review an Eastman to show what a CHINESE hand made guitar is all about and why you SHOULD'T just blindly buy based on brand.

Here's my 2 cents: I'm 62 yrs old, a lifelong guitarist who has also professionally gigged for many years. Like most, I started as a kid with dirt cheap guitars, working my way up to some of the best. My personal preference via hands on experience performing on stage, is without a doubt the real Japanese Takamine's. Loved them even more than my hi-end Taylor. Retired from gigging back in '02 because I grew tired of the club scene here in east/central Florida, but I do miss the music. Later, I was forced to sell all of my guitars and other items of value to save our home during that awful recession. I'm now about to buy myself the Yamaha LL16D, and I can hardly wait. For the price, I'm sure I will be pleased. Enough about me. Here's my outlook: It always blows me away how any person can spend over a grand on an acoustic guitar, but hasn't first taken the time to learn about quality construction and overall value for their hard earned money. But there's a group of people where it gets much worse, and that's the brand loyal snobs. Whether it's automobiles, guitars, or whatever, they get hopping mad any time someone EXPOSES THE TRUTH about some product made like total garbage, or how very little care in craftsmanship coming from a company with such an iconic name. These brand loyal snobs all too often wind up being in a total state of denial.......denial that they're getting ripped off........denial anytime some individual with bonafide EXPERIENCE tells the truth and shows evidence of something that is a direct rip off. I feel sorry for such people who are not willing to accept the truth. Because through their own denial, they are only cheating themselves in both losing money in relation to true value, and refusal to accept & gain knowledge, and learn from experience. Hey, most of us have learned some lessons "the hard way". I certainly have. The ONLY way to truly recover from that is to ACCEPT THE FACTS & LEARN FROM IT. We learn from our mistakes so that we may never repeat the same mistake again. Especially in this information age, where we can do lots of research online about almost anything these days BEFORE spending your hard earned money on some rip off.

Great additional content. I like hearing the more unfiltered opinions. Keep it up guys!

Great piece. Sadly, a common human trait is the need for affiliation, and once obtained it is defended as if it were a physical part of us. There are so many more things to be concerned about rather than what car we drive, guitar we buy, sport team we support (if any), etc. Perhaps it's because we feel we can't change the world but someone's opinion about a sacred guitar brand....

Could we see a Maton breakdown? Probably the best known Australian guitar manufacturer...many high profile international users. Great series guys thanks.

Thanks a lot guys for the passionate and honest work!

just discovered your channel. has been a fascinating eye opener to the world of guitar construction, what difference it makes, and why it matters. appreciate your honest perspective. folks can draw their own conclusions but for me it definitely feels like i can now see behind the 'wizards curtain' some guitar brands present.

Your comments are highly valuable and informative to me. Regardless of what your guitars cost, when you buy these guitars with your money you are free to give your opinion, loyalists be damned. Please keep making the breakdown videos.

Hey guys I really enjoy your show. I honestly think you're being too nice and shouldn't have to explain yourself as much as you did. You're absolutely right, it's a good thing cuz maybe somebody can Gibson will see this and maybe they will step up their quality control. You guys have a great show keep it up. Robert from Salt Lake.🔍🎸

I so value your willingness to do these breakdowns. Saw apart and all.

You guys absolutely rock. I’ve been saying these things for the past 19 months. It’s done well for my channel. Keep up the truth.

incendiary… “Are you bashing Gibson to make yourself look better?” Actually, no … Thank you Chris and Matt. The best (dream) acoustic guitar I ever held in my hands and played, was an old Gibson, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for that. I realise this issue is about a particular guitar, and I saw what I saw on this one, in that video… I trust your analysis of this one, and again.

I would love to see a Breedlove organic collection breakdown. All solid guitar for around $600 seems great, but I would love to see the inside and the overall build quality.

Love what you guys are doing. I personally don't feel you guys needed to explain yourselves but keep up the good work!

Love the honesty! While it hurts me to see you saw the guitars cut in half, I really appreciate the in depth reviews it affords you.

How about sawing in half a Martin 000-10E solid Sapele, top, and B/Ss for $800?

When I first saw these models, after playing several of the Tribute Les Pauls, I was excited. The Tributes are phenomenal guitars. And when I played the G-45, I thought it played well. It’s sounded ok enough. But I wasn’t blown away by it. I’d rather spend $500 on a Seagull that was built in Canada and plays better, sounds fuller.

Superb work and continue the breakdown videos.......

Thanks for the video - Really appreciate the honest reviews, keep them coming! I would like this style video for all breakdown guitars

I would really love to see you guys do a deep dive on one of the Maton guitars that are built here in Australia and see how their quality control is.

Would love to see you breakdown a Larrivee guitar. I own several and have been through the Larrivee factory and met Jean Larrivee himself. Great man and luthier

So I’m no guitar expert and will never claim to be one but I have learned so much about guitars in the short time I have been watching your videos. This is the most Iv been excited about my instrument in a long time so thank you .I bought my first acoustic about 2 months ago and Iv been playing electrics for the last 15 years so this was new to me. I got a Taylor Academy 12 because I liked the arm bevel and that guitar has been good to me and now I understand why thanks to your channel so thank you bro.

As a guitar builder myself, I love you guys! You said what we're all thinking. Keep it up :-)

I personally think that you have to do the Martin 15 series to compare pretty closely to the Gibson g45.

It’s hard to find reviews that are honest and critical on KZfaq, and where I live it’s also hard to get ahold of a wide range of guitars in a given price point to compare. I have 4 acoustics in different ranges and for different situations, and I really struggled trying to get enough info to make some of the purchases with confidence. When I see a reviewer who is willing to tell me what they like and don’t like and why I really appreciate it. Your review of the inexpensive Taylor was very positive I thought, so it’s not like you’re just pissing on big makers.

I was going to buy a G 45 at some point but now I know better. That’s why I think these breakdown videos have value. Thanks guys!

I really like how you strung along all the puns at the beginning. It set a good tone for the rest of the video.

I’d be so curious to see what you guys thought of Eastman guitars. Spend another $1200 and get an e10ss and put that up against the Gibson. Really quality stuff, and money well spent in my opinion.

Along with the glue squeeze out, something I just noticed from boutique makers and even some high-end builds for Taylor and Martin is care sanding on the inside of the guitar, specifically the top. For most/all of the boutique/luthier makers, if you run your finger on the underside of the top (just reach into the soundhole) you'll find most/all have sanded the inside of the top quite nicely. On lower cost guitars the wood is often much rougher. Again, probably doesn't make a tonal difference (I wouldn't know) but it just shows the care of certain builders to want to bother to do that fine sanding.

Love this channel and your honesty. It’s important to know what you are paying for. I was pulling the trigger on the G-45 and after seeing this I canceled my order. Many thanks and keep them coming.

Thank you so much for your honesty. It’s so refreshing to hear someone speak the truth in this day and age of “free guitars for free good publicity” And all these KZfaq guitar review channels that are totally biased and loyal to their free guitar providers. This is what we need more of. Thank you so much and keep fighting the good fight

These videos are f'n great. This one confirmed a lot of my suspicions about Gibson's. I feel the acoustics quality has followed the electrics. Basically you have to buy custom shop of each to get a heirloom quality instrument. Also, I didn't think the Taylor factory tour video was harsh. You had some critiques, but overall had a lot of interesting information.

I would love love to see a breakdown review of one of the Harley Benton acoustics like the CLD, CLA or CLD. They have affordable models with solid wood back and sides.

Oh man my lunch break is over. I’m going to have to watch this later.

Well said guys. Keep on keeping on.

"you fell for the name on the headstock".... man... I'm so happy about this video. I left a long comment on the Martin guitar review, and I see that I might've been a bit wrong maybe. But they way you constructed this point was excellent! thank you for going over things like glue squeeze out, etc. So awesome. I watch almost all of these videos. The American made topic too.... man, great video.

I would love to see you guys reconstruct the guitar after the breakdown (and donating them after)

Thanks for the honest and unbiased opinion guys. It’s refreshing to see.

You guys are doing a great service with these breakdown videos. They are not for the people that love a brand unconditionally. They are for people that want to know the best place to spend their hard earned money. It doesn't bother me when we can't build stuff in the USA for a lower price than other countries but it should bother us all when we can't/don't build things as well (or better).

I'd like to see a Martin 000-15m given this treatment. An entry level American made Martin compared to the HPL X series you previously reviewed would be interesting to see.

I personally thank you, I work hard for my money and I dont want to spend $1200 on a sub par guitar

I just started watching your videos a few days ago and love your break down videos and I believe that when you say a guitar isn't that good of quality I believe you have best interests for consumers in mind because you know what good/great quality is as a professional guitar builder

I was considering the G45, and I really appreciate your honesty. It is so refreshing to watch a REAL review, most of them are nothing but advertisements for whatever guitar they are "reviewing". It is so helpful to get the real opinion of someone who knows what they are talking about. For the record, I never at any point thought to myself that you were "bashing" anything. You just gave your honest opinion and people are not used to seeing that. Subscribed!

Matt brings up..."I'm a Gibson man, my father and grandfather were Gibson men, etc". IMO that's a problem, but some people buy stuff for a label while others actually care about the craftsmanship vs cost of a product. It's like politics, some people just vote Dem or Rep, while others actually take the time to learn about the individual they are "buying into". It's the society we live in.

I think it would be very cool if you made a video series on how someone should make their first guitar. Walk us through the whole process. As much as I love the 3000 year old guitar build, it seems like a lot to take on as my first guitar build. I want to make something much simpler. Perhaps use cheaper materials to get the price down. Maybe show videos on how to build jigs and patterns and what not. I would love to watch that!

I enjoy this series because it does show the level of care and pride these companies take in the product they're offering. I'm a Seagull M6 owner, and would love to see what you think of their builds (not an M6 specifically because they don't build that model anymore.). They have a great reputation for quality/price value...

I Don't feel you should have to explain yourselves as your breakdowns are the best I've seen to date. I'm certain seasoned players who know quality instruments would totally agree and your approach of how you convey you're your wealth of knowledge is outstanding, any beginner or novice should take note before they purchase anything on the market regardless of prestige or value, I in my own experience have seen a lot of shall we say inferior instruments from higher end companies resting on their laurels over the years...You guys are awesome, keep up the great work!

I don't own any acoustic guitars. I do have a bunch of electrics from many different manufacturers. A few years back I was looking for a Gibson SG. It took me about 4-5 months and some 15 SG:s until I found found an acceptable one. Even that needed some work to play right. Most of ones I rejected had issues with frets, some with finish, one even had a neck twisted like a corkscrew. The one I got only needed the frets to be leveled and dressed up. A bit later I was in the market for an Ibanez AZ Prestige. I played 3 of those. All great. All the same. I picked the one with the nicest top. If you listen carefully enough, you can hear the whispers of dissapointment for Gibson products. They are not what they are supposed to be.

If nothing else was taken into account, the fact that there's a freakin' sheet-rock anchor holding the strap button in place should get everyone who sees it riled up! EDIT: Chris IS, in fact, The Devil. :)

You guys are doing a great service for the guitar community. Disregard the haters.

I have been a drummer for over 30 years and have dabbled with acoustic guitars and eventually taught myself to play. I have always heard guitar players tend to lean on specific brands over the years and I, as a drummer, didn't know the difference between the acoustics but did know what sounded good. Every time I went into guitar center as a novice guitar player I'd always look for the guitars that were priced at $1,000 and up because those we supposed to be the best. Thanks to your breakdown videos and build videos last week was the first time I walked in to the acoustic room of GC and felt like I knew what I was looking at. It blew me away at how many of the $1,000 + guitars didn't have binding and or real rosette's. Almost every entry level guitar ($500 ish) appeared to have more attention to detail and craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and what makes a difference in quality.

This is really sad. I thought that the current CEO of Gibson was determined to put the company back on a path to quality. Evidently not.

I'm really curious to see what you guys think of guitars in Martin's 16 series. The GPC16E would be a good one to check out!

This is the video I needed. I retract all negative all negative previously made comments (I only made one). You guys got it right with this video and I appreciate this one.

Keep up the great work.

Breakdown an Epiphone. It would be ironic to see if the “sub” brand out does the big brother.

You aren't competing with mass manufacturers so the idea that you are "bashing" them to make yourself look good is just nonsense. Suggestions: Yamaha is always touted as great value so I'd love to see an FG820 or or L series (6 or 16) tested and cut up. The L16 should in theory put the Gibson to shame. $100 cheaper than the G45 with pickup too! Also one day: Taylor 324 because I have one and love it but I'd still like to see one cut open and hear whether in your opinion the build quality is good or bad. It won't make me stop loving mine but I am curious what you think!

Good work guys.

Just found your site and love it! Honest, unbiased review of guitars is so needed in this flooded market. So many guitars, so little time! I purchased a Breedlove Oregon Series from a gentleman shortly after Covid started. He was needing fast cash for his families living expenses. I paid $800 for what is a $1600 guitar. The sound is IMO.amazing. very nice bottom end and balanced mids and upper end. I'm no expert but I found a real gem, I believe. Hand made in Bend, Oregon with Myrtle Wood back and sides. Would love to see one cut up and disected without an agenda! Best Wishes, Dave Clevenger (I also have a Takamine TF 360S BG which I will take to my grave! )

Eastman please!

I play guitar, I don’t build them, when I buy a guitar, I want it to sound good, and play good, I’m not really concerned about glue, or something in the construction? If a guitar sounds like I like it, I don’t need to look into the sound hole for something you think it’s lacking? It’s about sound and playability? Are you a longtime guitar player? I’ve played guitars with fantastic workmanship, and sometimes they just don’t sound good, Gibson acoustic guitars sound good! That’s the bottom line!

Thanks for your honesty. Over a year ago I bought a Gibson LG2. It sounds beautiful, I can't fault the sound. There are a whole bunch of things about it that make me wish I'd never bought it, and took a while to surface. Mostly concerning the neck. Firstly the way it's been set up, it's only playable with light to medium strings, and only when the humidity is over 50%. Tuning down even a semitone makes the guitar unplayable even with the truss rod relief set correctly. I play fingerstyle and like the action fairly low, with custom lights, but this isn't really possible on this guitar without a lot of fret buzz when temperature or humidity are not optimal. I have never had these issues with either Taylor or Martin Guitars. Taylors I can tune down by 4 semitones and they play without issues. The inside of the guitar under the bridge looks like a woodpecker had been living there (nasty splintered rough looking woodwork) The bridge peg holes are so badly machined that with light gauge strings the Low E string will pop out in standard tuning, loose as hell. There are other issues like buzzing inside the body when playing louder. I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and have owned many different acoustics, none of which had any issues. If I pay two and a half grand for a guitar I don't expect this BS. I have a Yamaha acoustic that costs 10 times less than the Gibson, and it has far better playability with any gauge of strings I want to use, doesn't buzz, and can be tuned down or up without any issues, and isn't affected by humidity. I feel that Gibson still relies on it's good reputation it got pre-war and into the 60's but hasn't really kept that quality in its guitars, and hasn't really innovated like some other guitar companies. I even remember my father telling me how amazing Gibsons were and he first played one in the early 1950's and loved it. "Vintage" is fine if that's what you want, but if you also get a guitar that behaves like it's 100 years old, falling apart and should be put out of its misery, then no thanks. I can't even bring myself to sell this guitar because I feel I will be inflicting a bad instrument on some poor unsuspecting soul. I also own a Gibson Les Paul and that's had so many issues I'm not going into them here, which I fixed, but all due to very poor quality control, poor manufacturing, and setup on Gibson's part. The sad thing is that both of these guitars sound great, I've recorded with them, gigged with them, but ... shame on you Gibson for such badly made instruments.

Thanks for educating us on “what” we should know and be looking for when purchasing a guitar. I don’t own a Gibson acoustic, but I do own a couple of modern > 2016 solid body electric guitars. They “seem” to be well built,finished, and set up to my eye, but I know that’s a little apple to oranges as building an acoustic is much more difficult. Having said that even their solid body guitars have been found to have serious quality control issues in the last decade. The moral of the story is to thoroughly inspect your guitar when purchased and if isn’t what it should be return it.

10:07 "I'm not going to spend my $1200 on a guitar that....." Dude, you're not buying a $1200 guitar. You're buying a $500 guitar and a $700 water slide decal that says 'Gibson'.

Suggest a guitar you say? Zager. And react to their videos. I need them to be exposed. If you get one of their guitars, take off the stickers one by one. Thanks much

Wonderful to hear and see this - with so many reviews etc you wonder how really honest they are but not with your teardowns - keep it up folks (and yes I like Gibsons and have quite a few). Cheers.

Spot on guys. Thank you

I've been learning a lot from your channel guys please keep cutting guitars for the purpose of craftsmanship and consumers! cheers

I really appreciate you guys being honest and candid with this stuff. We, as a guitar community need more of that. That's just my honest opinion. I bought a brand new $2,300 Les Paul at the end of 2019 and it had more cosmetic flaws and issues than my $400 Squier. Not bashing them, just a lesson learned

I just bought one and I Fricken love it.

I really appreciate these videos guys. They are the transparency youtube reviews needed. I know you do acoustic guitars, but i was thinking that you could open up an epiphone es-335 or a gibson. I'm really curious to see what the build quality is under there. Keep rocking! 🤘
