  • Luthier Jeffrey Yong made his first guitar in 1985 from a DIY kit and from there; he has acquired an insatiable passion and love for natural wood and the sweet sound that he can conjure from his guitar masterpieces.

    I don't care if his guitar is out of tune, as long as he created it with his hearth that's ok. This man was just so amazing I love his story. He's just so pure and so underrated. I would love to have one of that guitar after I finish college here in Philippines.

      He is a pro Luthier, so he thinks: "Tuning? im a Pro! don´t need that!",

      Go to any event that he will be attending, maybe you'll get lucky :D

  • @TheStrugglingShiba
    @TheStrugglingShiba 11 лет назад +1

    There are SO many possible factors, maybe he wasn't prepared to do the video, and just wanted to do a simple demonstration. I don't think this "one" time he decided not to tune the guitar should reflect anything. Ask the man himself, he has a website and everything. Also, please do not reply to this comment, I have spoken to enough people like you to know where this is going. You do not know enough bout Malaysians to speak. It's more CAREFREE in this case, hope you can LIGHTEN UP and see it.

    I highly applaud you Jeff and you are absolutely right. In America there are companies that have held a dynasty for far too long in this field of manufacturing. They maybe good, but maybe just so,so compared with superb builder's like yourself that are working to put these companies in their place so to speak and help them down from their high horse. Bravo Jeff You have succeeded at making a better wheel in the face of the status quo. To me the biggest crock of #$@% is this notion of tone woods .I for one think these unmentioned companies are way overrated . Some of the better brands are using cnc machines. This to me cancels out the craftsmanship. YOU KNOW!

    yeah... strange how noone seemed to notice the guitar was out of tune when they made the video... the playing wouldn't look so bad if it was well tuned.

    I visited Asia, and it's hard to keep a guitar in tune over there, due to humidity levels, maybe that's why this video was done with this guitar out of tune

    The monkeypod is somewhat like koa wood. Jeffrey, the one you are holding is beautiful but the 'dragon' like inlay on the neck is a bit too gaudy for me. Overall, that's a fine acoustic guitar and it sounds great.

    It's a Malaysian thing, not so much the luthier!

  • @TheStrugglingShiba
    @TheStrugglingShiba 11 лет назад

    It's more of a "tidak apa" attitude, which means couldn't be bothered, or couldn't care less. Heck yeah we're proud of it!!

    A luthier who can't tell when he's playing out of tune! That's a great advert for your business.

    I love the look of his guitars. Seems to lack bass, probably due to the woods used.
