I've got a couple Balaguers on the way, I'm mega stoked for them to arrive - so much so, that I bought a used Aether before the Select Custom was even at the paint booth stage. Also, +1 to Joe being the best dude in the industry. Here's hoping 2024 brings us UK folk a Balaguer dealer 🙏

You had me at dog

So glad to see you getting into baritone guitars! Gonna be nice to see some amp demos in lower tunings

The Hammer - Kublai Khan TX. Seeing them live is insane. Stage dives every few seconds haha

The drawing killed me😂

Have not has a NGD for several years but, I use to have a lot of them. One of the best feelings ever.

I just purchased my first baritone guitar as well. It's the ESP Ltd SCT 607B Stephen Carpenter 27" 7 string baritone. I've had it just under a week and I can't seem to put it down. It has the green sparkle finish and Sheph's signature Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, and it is gorgeous and has an absolutely punishing tone!

Kublai Khan is my 8 month old daughters favorite band. She loses her shit kicking and smiling when anything from Nomad comes on.

knew that was The Hammer by Kublai Khan right away 😎

I just got a 2nd hand Espada from their limited '20 run, in mint condition. Similar to the one you reviewed, except for the Evergreen pickups. It's a rare piece here in Europe and I'm pretty amazed as for now.

Always love vids about Balaguer🤘🏻👍🏻

That is sick!!! I've had my eye on an espada for a while now. I live offset guitars! Nicely done!

Beastly. I love the jazzmaster shape.

Sounds beast!! 🤘🔥

Looks and sounds insane 🤘

Your comments about Joe and the team is so wholesome. It’s literally the level of wholesome that I felt reading some of Joe’s posts on the page, and the exact reason why I want a Balaguer to support them. I haven’t yet as every time I get to a point where I can spend on myself, something draws my attention or something in life prevents it. One day I will 😅.

Dude! That new axe sounds absolutely incredible!

Wow you totally just got my dream guitar !! Hope one day I'll get one too

I respect Balaguer for making a model called The Growler. I quite fancy one. In the UK, "growler" is a slang name for a woman's "lady garden". Sorry... I'm a 44yo man-child!

Hey, man. Yeah, I gotta tell ya. That guitar, by far, is the closest thing to a live hand grenade that I’ve ever heard. No kiddin’ around. When you hit that first strum, I grinned like I found a bag of cash. Great guitar. Congrats.

That’s an ULTIMATE good boy if I’ve seen one 🐕

Guitar looks sick 🔥🔥🔥

that looks really nice

Yes please, let's see that video.

awesome bro

Holy cow Kyle your playing a extended range guitar your going to get the itch for the 7 string then 7 string baritone after that to me it's all muddy but some get that 8 string itch like Banea 😅 7:46

nice puppy, how's Maverick? By the way love to see the Balaguer costume show.

Came for the guitar, stayed for the puppy. :)

That is sweet!!!!!

Balaguer rules I want one so freaking bad❤❤❤

As a german i have to admit it... We do correct other people's pronaunciation all the time, but this also apply's to germans as well... Not just foreign people...😅

Bari Bull, huh? I'm in!

It’s 27” bro, put that thing in drop F

I know a Kublai Khan riff when I hear it

Coming at us with the KK riffs

My guess is a Silverburst Espada or Oceanus baritone.

In my experience for drop B a 25,5“ guitar with a 12-60 string set is the way to go. Try a 14-68 in drop G on the 27“ Scale guitar for the stupid broriffs

Take that hat off Kyle! Let’s see it!

Kublai khan - the hammer I listen to the band like every day lol

Was that riff kubli khan at the end? Haha

It’s already out of stock

damn you just cant get enough silverburst guitars, huh? hahahaha SICK GUITAR bro

I was waiting to give my thumbs up and Subscription-til I heard “all that being said-this guitar feels like sh*t!” I was literally dying- I’m really starting to enjoy your content. So ty, Mr. Bull. 🤘🏻

more like a black binding.

Kubli Khan Texas 👊🏻👿👊🏻

Dude what's up with Mr. Sexy pants trying 2 steal the limelight? I hope he wasn't who U had 2 do emergency care on...Nonetheless, love ur work, and please keep kicking ass 4 ur pets luv ya Bro!

That things a straight up hog of a guitar. Whats the weight? 10lbs. is my absolute limit. I've got 1 guitar right at 10lbs even, with EMGs. Even my bass is under 9lbs. For what they cost, its really hard to beat Ballaguer's build quality and specs. The whole Ballaguer vibe is geared towards modern genre players, wanting cutting edge designs and specs, without looking like everyone else. Next to ESP/LTD or Schecter, which is basically the same, they're one of the only other brands getting traction in the custom style guitar market. B.C. Rich, Dean and the like, just aren't anywhere near as popular as they once were. Somebody needs to fill that void in the market. Charvel,Jackson and Ibanez, just keep re-releasing the same oldschool models over and over. Solar is the only other brand I can even think of? This week I'm putting the Gotoh keystone tuners I ordered on my new Epiphone Les Paul custom silverburst, AJ sig. Its 9lbs.6ozs. and has the thinest, fastest feeling neck carve EVER, on a LP style guitar. You gotta get your hands on one of these chief, they kick much weak people music, ass! Peace!

Doggy 🥹🥰❤️

It was *_exactly_* what I guessed! → a silverburst metal Jazzblaster, (hardtail, obviously..). And I don't know you... I've never seen a video of yours before this... I don't even know your Musical genre, let alone ever having heard any of your music... The thing is... 😔🙏 .. _>>_ you're not half as special as you think you are. _NOBODY IS !!! 🎉_ Everybody thinks they are the latest, greatest, "freshest" thang ..to hit the airwaves since Elvis and his acoustic guitar! → ..but really, you're just the _"Brand New Cherry Cola flavour!"_ : meaning.._not_ new... _not_ "fresh"... _not_ "groundbreaking" or "genre -defining" or "zeitgeist summoning"...! Hey, don't feel glum, chum! Even Elvis was actually pretty sh¡† at guitar, was only mediocre at singing...and even his most lucrative commodity - his good looks from his youth and good shape - he would p¡$$ away in just a few years! Most of us are average, predictable, unremarkable, insecure hacks..and our time in the sun will be brief and fleeting - if at all! So don't let me or anyone tell you not to follow your dream & your heart. You only live once - most of that time is eaten up being too young or too old...too puny, or too flabby...too naive or too jaded... feeling worthless (hey ho, puberty + adolescence!!! 🤟😝🤘 _WazzUPPP!?!!?_ 🎉) or being useless (let's hear it for Ol' Grampa you, with half pie dementia and hearing aids what might aswell be croissants!😅👍)... → ..may aswell have a *_Blast!!_* In those few years... somewhere between puberty and adult diapers..... the entire human struggle becomes almost.. kinda.. "worth it", for a bit... It "pays off", I guess, in its' stingy, vague way... and you.... playing down/odd tuned, low-slung jazzblaster riffs, writing "teen angst poetry"...and packaging it under your clever band name..might just be the pinnacle of your whole entire existence. Enjoy it. Cuz lord knows no one else will! 😅 [ Ouch! Ok, ok, i got a bit hard on you at the end there! I admit it! Truth is... you'll have a small following...far smaller than you dreamt of, playing your Squier in your bedroom, looking down at the carpet knit, and imagining the knits to be hoards of your adoring fans at your SOLD OUT arena gig... It won't be that. But it wont be diddly squat nuttin' either... It will be a small, yet dedicated core of fans..._"your_ fans"!! → It will blow you away that anyone...let alone this whole group of people from all over the globe...relate to your most private & personal pains and victories... ...and failures. And they will mean the world to you. Rock on, young squire...🥲🤙 P.S. I like your 'blaster. ....I _dooooo!!!_ Honestly! It's fkn sweet! 🤟
