      I don't even call that innovation. It's a bunch of complications that they introduced to inflate the price and basically kills the physics involved for a good sound. I don't even like the tone of that one. It sounds way too canny, it's basically a Hollowbody with no holes and a bunch of awkwardly placed metal parts and wiring. I mean, there's probably a good reason why it's the "Most advanced guitar that nobody knows about" It's probably even way cheaper to produce. Every guitar brand would be all over that concept if it brought anything to the table...

    • @apoclypse
      @apoclypse 4 года назад +4

      @@flipletape9706 It's more likely because every guitar maker don't actually want easily replaceable pickups. They can sell you a new guitar or sell you the pickups and make omens that way. It's not a coincidence that Gibson and Fender sell parts, they know they can make money off of you even if you cheap out on the guitar body itself. This guitar is actually bringing something new. I don't agree with the magnets myself, they could have also just made the part where the pickups are hollow to make they replaceable rather than the whole guitar but maybe there is some design reason why. Either way it's nice to actually see something new in-terms of guitar designs. I think the industry needs a real shakeup.

    To be honest, I'm absolutely amazed at how regressive the guitar industry is. The kind of quality-of-life features that this instrument offers are stupidly simple, and couldn't possibly cost much more to manufacture. I realize that most guitarists don't want built-in digital effects like the Firebird X, but there are some basic adjustments like the magnet back cover and the easy-to-change pickup system that would make life easier for minimal cost.
    My complaining aside, that was a very nice guitar. I'm digging the unique singlecut design, too!

    • @ViviSectia
      @ViviSectia 5 лет назад +53

      These kinds of features have actually been around for a years. The industry has tried to introduce these features but they never succeed because it's the guitarists that are regressive and refuse to change due to some imperceptible tonal differences that are likely all in their heads.

    • @iamamish
      @iamamish 5 лет назад +19

      Agree 100%. For example, I'm amazed that we're still soldering pickups. It would be pretty easy to have a harness system like this in all guitars. It wouldn't even have to be so simple as this guitar - just some wiring harnesses that eliminate the need for soldering would be a huge first step. It'd be good for the industry too, as with less soldering, people would be more adventurous in their pickup selection.

      Yeah, when Gibson introduced their Quick-Connect system, I was hopeful that perhaps they could turn it into an industry standard (at the very least, for high-end models). Consumers somehow didn't seem to appreciate the idea, though. I've seen videos detailing how to bypass existing Quick-Connect systems, as if they're an annoyance rather than a feature.

But mine was the entire pick guard and you couldn't change individual pickups and the output was attached to each pickguard so you couldnt keep playing like you did here. Truly amazing design!

    Darrell, this is a fantastic video! I want to personally thank you for showcasing this guitar. Had I not seen this video, I may have never learned of this fantastic instrument. I was born in '52, and I got my very first guitar in 1965. Since then I have owned and played well over 100 guitars of different makes and models. But never in my life have I seen a guitar as innovative and exciting as the Relish. This even surpasses the great Travis Bean guitars of the '70s and '80s. Those had thru-body aluminum necks, and are, in my opinion, the best playing guitars I ever owned. The paradigm has shifted! When it comes to guitars, I finally feel like I'm living in the 21st century. The brands that I grew up loving...Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, and Rickenbacker have become stale and somewhat boring. They seem to be stuck in yesteryear, making the same old tired reissues over and over. Just how many more variants of Les Pauls, Strats, and Teles does the world need? I think we have enough of those already. That is why it is so encouraging to see a new company like Relish Guitars produce an instrument that is so revolutionary. It's a breath of fresh air! I feel lucky to have lived long enough to see this happen in my lifetime. Recently, I have been seriously contemplating buying another Gretsch Custom Shop guitar. I love Gretsch guitars! Especially the works of art that come from their custom shop. But, after seeing this and other videos on Relish Guitars, I have made up my mind to definitely purchase a Relish. I just have to decide whether I want the Jane or the Mary. I apologize for the long rant, but I wanted you know just how much this video changed the way I think about guitars. Sincerest gratitude, my friend!!!

Also you can use a dual pickup cartridge, or two singles, as you prefer. And you can install and remove pickups in the empty cartridges by yourself, without soldering.

I'm writing my thesis in guitar signal analysis and would love to read a study on this, if you're aware of one, please let me know. The closest I've seen to a serious academic publication is an article in the Journal of the Acoustic Society of America by some people in the Psychoacoustics department of Lancaster University, but they did a study on acoustic guitar back and side wood using the same top plate wood and the same construction type.
      It turned out that what kind of wood is used in the back and sides of an acoustic does not affect the sound of the instrument in that situation. In the analysis, the guitars had slight tonal variations that came down to the top plates not being the actual same piece of wood. They also had a large sample of guitar players come in and play them and they couldn't tell apart most of them, much less identify them by tone. They also made their recording database publicly available IIRC. It's a fascinating read, you might want to check that out.
      So the closest thing I've seen to science on the matter implies it's not true for electrics. Until I see an actual study that proves otherwise done by qualified academic professionals on electric guitars, I'll call nonsense on the whole e-guitar tonewood thing.

    At the same time, it's cool to see my dream guitar that I've always wanted to create has been now created. Glad to see the idea I've been drawing up for the past five years is not only well within the realm of possibility, but also exists in the real world.

As for strings i also disagree, there are certain strings i won't touch because they leave residue on my fingers and on my fretboards, and earnie ball is not the same as GHS or even Gibson brand strings which are mediocre, and there are so many that are even worse than earnie balls not only in sound but in comfort.

    I looked up the price of a couple of models from Relish Guitars. The 'Mary' (the model shown in this vid.) list at 2599.00 USD, the 'Blue Jane Flamed' model, $5999.00 and the 'Platinum Edition' a whopping $13600.00.
    What makes the Platinum model significantly more expensive, is that platinum is 'sprinkled' throughout the finish. While increasing the aesthetics (and price), it probably has little to no effects on the sound characteristics.
    Aluminum, a soft metal, is a curious choice for the sub-frame because of it poor resonance properties. However, it could be alloyed with other metals, that could have more desirable characteristics, I suppose.
    One of the reasons that aluminum is not used in tuning forks, for instance (musical, anyway) - is that aluminum produces an abundance in overtones and the pure parent tone is subdued.
    Not necessarily a bad thing - as overtones in guitar tone woods vary and are subjective...although it may impact the attack and style of play. (more overtones lends itself to softer styles generally...as in classical or finger-picking and less overtones generally with more aggressive attack styles.)
    In resonance tests of various tubing materials, aluminum fell in between copper and PVC pipe...none of these materials known for out-standing acoustic properties. (Although Ovation Guitars use of a manufactured, resin-impregnated silicone fiber, its developers tagged as 'Lyrachord', has been in use since the 60s.)
    Relish may be a decent guitar, but I am a bit old-school - and if I am going to spend that kind of money on a guitar, I would rather have a 59 re-issue Gibson Les Paul or a 54, 60, 62 re-issue Strat.
    To me, there is just something about real wood in the construction of musical instruments, that is traditional and more appealing.
    Guitars don't need a lot of bells and whistles...they just need to sound good and play well.
    Still, others may like the innovations and if so - have at it.
