Have owned the Peerless Cremona for 2 years...it is hands down superior to the American G brand in every way! Great Video.

[@jstringer213]

have owned a Monarch (16" model) for a few years now ...folks these guitars are fantastic...great quality workmanship and tone and esp. great value ...check out Matt Outten or Andreas Shultze (sp.?) for more Peerless Stuff

[@fndrpickin]

I have a Peerless Jazz City and totally agree Peerless make's guitars that rival the more expensive brands.

[@fbhistoriador]

I own a Peerless Leela, which a prefer because it is 16", all the Peerless guitars I've tried sounded a played great. Sometimes I think about a pickup upgrade, not because I'm not happy with the original, but to see if it can sound even better. Thanks for reviewing!

[@philipbrodzinskimusic]

I have a peerless monarch myself and i love that guitar. Peerless is such an underrated company...

[@edijsostapko2969]

i have peerles gigmaster jazz, i am just amazed how good that guitar actually is for just 900 euro. In my opinion best archtop in 1000 euro price range

[@gertvanpeet3120]

With An 150 euros guitar from Korea and thomastik "swing" 0.12 on It, no need for a higher priced. But i was lucky...and IT has An piezo under the bridge !

Peerless Cremona 17 VC here...tops guitar

[@diego2246]

Great review!

[@shaalis]

Very nice guitar. Like an L4 only affordable.

[@bills48321]

very nice sound

[@braddiboy]

Great sounding guitar.

[@soulvigilante]

I think this is the first video in the history of RUclips with no thumbs down...

[@RichieZellon]

Just give it some time....😄

[@shaalis]

nice work sir!

[@janymikeptz1156]

I'm curious, why not just buy an Epiphone for 1/3 of the price for essentially the same sound given the humbucker?

[@RichieZellon]

Definitely not the same sound...the humbucker is not the only element that determines the sound in a guitar.

[@janymikeptz1156]

Fair enough, it would be great to see a comparison so I can better understand the price difference. Cheers!@@RichieZellon

[@shaalis]

You can buy some of the old Peerless Epiphones. The Emperor comes to mind. They are lovely.

[@vintagebikes4215]

I have a Peerless Cremona VC 17, and a Joe Pass 2 Ephiphone, Peerless is far superior instrument in build and sound

[@andrewdarnley4608]

Thanks for this great video Ritchie. Can you remember if the pickup was floating or fixed to the top ? Nice chops man !

[@RichieZellon]

Thx...I recall it was fixed but check the Peerless site to be sure...I've played so many guitars that I sometimes forget 😀

[@billsolo1]

Any thoughts on either of the two Peerless Martin Taylor versions?

[@Wggrant1]

Hello Ritchie, what’s your experience with Sadowsky Archtops? I’m interested in the SS-15 but not sure if I should sink my money into it. Great jazz guitar instructional videos by the way!

[@RichieZellon]

Thanks...not familiar with the SS-15, although I love the Jim Hall Sadowsky.

[@francoisvola3611]

Great picking and great guitar. I've got the Manhattan and love it!

[@FairlyUnknown]

Sounds great, but you could probably make a milk carton with rubber bands sound good :)

[@GijuChang]

Wow!! Even though I am Korean, I didn't know that the guitar factory is still in Korea.

[@RichieZellon]

Are they outsourcing to China now?!? 🙄

[@travelingman9763]

Bet Joe Pass would have loved it!

[@raffyzoo2130]

Peerless Imperial

[@xxmanx1]

Your tone is very hard to beat ...with ANY guitar!

[@PeteAxeShields]

My Eastman AR503CE sounds better and is cheaper ..... looks better too

[@AaronGonzalezMontiel]

I have an Eastman ar605ce and a Peerles leela 40th anniversary, and I like the peerless better.
