Hard to believe that the cheapest guitars aren't the best ones. Crazy world these days.

Hello^^, I'm Tillie from Byron custom guitars; do you have interested to review a Byron guitar? thank you in advance.

I just received my AIO Wolf 750T in Amber Flame. I can't believe how amazing this guitar is!! No blemishes whatsoever! I got locking tuners on mine, so that's a bonus! I have different setup needs, due to shrapnel damage in my fretting hand from my military days. And the setup I got was top notch!! Perfectly low action with no buzzing. I changed out the pickups to Seymour Duncan Alnico 2's. I was surprised to find these guitars have nice long neck tenons!! I am beyond satisfied with AIO!! Going to get that AIO Tele next!

i wuvs em 🌙✨

Acacia wondering

I did some trading and picked up a Spectrum Saturday. I had it setup. It is great. No idea what the model is though

I play guitar. As a side hobby I buy and sell music stuff. I bought a short scale daisy rock bass to flip. But I kept it....... Then I saw your video on this model. Found one in LA for $100 in unplayed condition. Keeping it also...... The one item you left off your video, is the push/pull tone knob. Love the single/double coil switch. Just an all around super guitar......

Sounds pretty nice.

I've watched a few of her videos. I think Im going to go back and subscribe to her. Thanks for this video.

She's one of the BEST!<3

I just bought it but it's written made in china... 😢 Should I return it??

Is it made in china or indonesia?

Kimbara was the shop brand for FCN of London. The MIJ ones say so on the paper label inside. There should be a serial number as well as a model number if that is the case

Thank you for review; was interested in buying it.

Not HA VEE AIR . It's and X so it's SAH BEE AIR. Sounds good though. How would the neck be replaced? Glued on?

I just subscribed to Tanya's luthier channel...thanks for steering me there Daniel...she's brilliant. Really draws you into the work without the background noise which I quite enjoy

I bought a Washburn HB30 back in 1994, and it really was an excellent guitar. I changed the pickups after about 2yrs, to give its sound more character for jazz/blues, but the entire thing was always such a pleasure to play at gigs, jams and in studio, regardless. I had sold it when I bought an actual ES335 in 2001. Though in my opinion there really is no better electric than a Gibson es335, i have occasionally regretted selling the Washburn. The Gibson replaced it, but wasn't necessarily always much better as far as comfort, playability or ever sound

Bro did ya break into the local bando to record this?

4 minutes into the video and all we see is a close -up of him talking. And I do not see her at all. What is the point for any viewer for 4+ minutes.?

i have this model but with a Fishman pre-amp - it has an XLR output. I use it nearly all the time for finger style blues and indie folk stuff. It's a great value price guitar.

Tanya is awesome. I watch her videos at night before I go to bed. ASMR style.

I really enjoy Tom Woodford, and he's even collabed with Adam Savage from Mythbusters. On youtube there's just as many charlatans as real craftsman. There was one US "luthier" I have to stop watching because he seemed to be guessing at some of his repairs. Sometimes it was like the blind leading the blind.

I don't think Tanya works alone per se. It seems like she shares a shop with other people because I hear other voices in the BG and she occasionally talks to them.

Take a look at "Shed of Dreams" and "Fanblade instruments". They're small channels but very entertaining. It's more about constructing instruments but the pacing it's excellent

I have an Eart 70. It has a little less bling. Replaced a wobbly plastic saddle with Graph Tech shaped to fit snug in the slot with 0.090" action. I hate the black rubbery sticky tuner knobs. Switched those out for hard plastic. Only $13 on Amazon. Very nice guitar for the money.

I would try to modify the bridge or find a lower one, before I did a neck reset. At least it would be fun to try!

Wall hanger.

Good for firewood 😊

it's some mid60's - early70's mass produced budget archtop. I love these things; have several of my own. I'd likely attempt a neck reset (probably with a completely other similar spare neck), & rethink the entire bridge just for the fun of trying to get it to fret comfortably

Looks like an old Oscar Schmidt guitar in some way. He was most famous for ukes and zithers but moved into guitars and was sort of the Fuller Brush door to door sales guitar or mail order guitar in the early part of the 20th century I believe...his son carried the tradition on after him. I believe they came out of Chicago back in the day but I may be mistaken.

A lefty guitar

I've had 2 and I love the Dana. In fact I bought a Paul Reed Smith parlor for $500 and the Dana was a better guitar. No kidding I love Orangewood. They have some sense whereas Fender, Gibson, PRS don't.

I have collected quite a few over the past 8 years. I recently retired and I'm selling them through a local guitar store on consignment. Some are harder to get rid of than others. Some of them are like artwork to me. Time to get rid of all the stuff I don't need. My kids don't want to have to do it after I'm gone.

thanks for the kind words mate always very much appreciated!

Australian blackwood has the same janka rating as Hawaiian Koa

i love it!

Very interesting! It's hybrid is so many ways. I like the inlays. A parlour is an excellent noodling guitar... their timbre can cut through easily, making them a great soloing instrument for acoustic jams. I also like the classical neck width and string spacing. The single tuning machines rather than the typical 3-on-a-plate design was an excellent design choice. Are the tuning machines good?

Oscar Schmidt great guitars with a great history

Ortegas are pretty well made and very affordable classicals. For most players, they are entirely OK to get. The C5 from Cordoba is a remarkable guitar, but does cost more!ty

I love the look of that guitar as well

The guitar playing was beautiful, so relaxing

Learnt to play on a tw28. My understanding was that it was all laminate, it was a joy to play and sounded good, landing chords was a breeze. I sold it years ago and now own some top end American guitars but I think I will buy another just for the hell of it as they are so cheap second hand

Kent was a furniture maker, some of their models sound like it too. LOL I do have one nice Kent though, so they did make a few that weren't over-built. I own two 1970 Yairi classical models, I like the H Yairi more than I do the K Yairi but most prefer the K. The H has very light Japanese style bracing and sounds more traditional Japanese to my ear. Yamaki and Yazuma are both good makers, their higher end models are worth looking out for as are some of the older Takamine's, I own a Morris classical that's very nice looking but over-built. The Hohner G series from Japan is ok if you can find the higher end models, if you can find the ARBOR series they are VERY FINE guitars. Aria made several models from beginner to high end, most of them are fairly decent for each price range. My nicest Japanese classical is a 1985 Shiro made by Aria it has the modern parallel bracing system designed by Masaki Sakurai, that he won his gold cup with in 1988 and the headstock design he still uses today. It's very lightly braced on the bass side for a cello like bass sound, it's traditional Japanese in sound, which if very warm, mellow and yet Loud. Another thing to keep in mind is that most models in the 70's and earlier were priced in yen and the model number was the amount of yen they cost. Also most of the Japanese Acoustic guitars, even some of the highest end models have a "laminate" back that will appear to be solid due to how they are constructed. They would glue together two thin pieces cut from the same piece of wood, so that the inside and outside match, it's not what people think of today's as laminated although there are some high end Taylor guitars that use the same process.

Too clanky but nice playing dude. After 40 years of playing I’ve had great and poor classical guitars. What I hear is either smooth warm tone or plastic clanky sounds. This one is plastic klanky

I owned a couple of electrics and sold them but lately got a TS2 Dean acoustic. OK?

I was looking to buy a Larrivee l-03-12 but when I listened to a lot of outstanding demos (like this one) of this one I have converted ;-) I don't care if it is made in China since the workers there make it exactly according to Guild specs.. It sounds so crisp and well balanced over all registers.. wow!

I have an fg800m and it is really nice. Mine has a matte finish, hense the M. To me it is not mind blowing like how some people claim, but really good! I still think there are guitars that feel more well made. Like in the sense with more attention to detail. But for the money you can't beat the yamahas! I believe the fg800 has a nato back and sides, fg820 has mahogony, fg830 is rosewood, fg840 is maple, fg850 is mahogony back and side and mahogony top. There is also an electric acoustic version and a 12 string version too. They have something for everybody, but the fg800m is the cheapest and so it is perhaps the best for those on a budget. Its just that the matte finish definatly may be more prone to getting noticable scratches, especially if you are a bit rough on your guitars, as it is a super thin finish on it.
