@@JoeCarpenter Wrong... Hemp is the strongest natural fiber in the world, that's why they call it hemp STONE! Hemp composite can be up to 10x stronger than steel... I would bet this guitar will be here many generations after you and your traditional wood guitars!
Very interesting guitar just from your choice of sustainable materials alone. Great job getting such a sweet sound from hemp! PS. Typo on your webpage: Black is misspelled "Balck" in the dropdown Guitar's menu.
I have to admit, I love it. the fact its made its made from Hemp isnt what interests me. Its just so unique and has some great design ideas. The 2 sound holes, stunning headstock and the neck looks gorgeous and on top of that, the tone is really sweet. On top of that its played so beautifully. Great Video!
When I was young, I got caught up in the thought: if the world runs out of trees there will be no more guitars. It's very cool to see people exploring other materials for instrument building, especially something sustainable
@@peepz6890 for now i know ots DACGAD tuning it seems like, i'm trying to learn by looking. Do you know what that technique is called? Is it fingerstyle or slap Guitar?
What do I think? AMAZING! Never would have imagined a hemp guitar. The sound holes make such a remarkable sound variance, and totally true notes. Hearing it on headphones. The clarity and tonal spectrum is phenomenal. Wow. Thank you for this video. Really learnt something here.
i hate them too, so first thing i did was to realize this is not an actual roundback, it's just fully curved at the sides and wouldn't totally mess with my playing comfort
I’ve just realised I’m watching the guy that played the most beautiful piece of guitar that exists. Your cover of “How to build a home” is my aim for my playing, having started 6 months ago. Thank you so much for making that. I think I’ve probably listened to it more than anyone. Lovely guitar and playing again!
I have often wondered when somebody was going to use the hemp plant in the making of a string instrument. Noticing the sound is very defined and snappy to response. And the sound hole is nothing short of a genius thought. Oh how so very easy to relocate the sound hole to allow the guitars strength to be reenforced! Thus Ree forcing the sound projection! I absolutely love it. The design is just as amazing as the sound that emulates when played. Bravo Sir!
Not only the design is extraordinarily beautiful, but the sound of it is simply divine. Permit me to congratulate Jakob Frank of Canna Guitars, for achieving such musical quality and contributing to the realm of sound/musicality beauty!
My god, they finally did it... they made an acoustic dropped-plectrum proof guitar! For real though, that thing is stunning, I love the everything about it :)
What I like the most about your videos is it calm and professional explanations the way you display the important facts from a player's point of view. And I agree, the "incredibly designed neck" impressed me as well. Amazing video and an amazing instrument. Some finger freestyle with this guitar would be great ;)
This thing is art and an achievement. There’s a weird “sour grapes” vibe from many people in the comments about the price. It’s not for you (or me) but that’s ok. It’s almost as though people resent or trivialize things that they can’t afford.
I like the loudness. It has a nice mellow sound and brightness as well. I like the way it looks. The border is unique and earthy. The headstock is way cool. I like the color of the neck. It looks like it’s easy to play. I liked this demo; the playing showed it off.
@@bosatsu76 I'd eaven like to make it cheaper so more people can effort it. Just a question of scaling. But somehow it feels like they are to "cheap" so people don't consider them boutique enought to want one...
amazing sounding and looking..and as a a some what educated guitarist and hobbyist level luthier..i absolutely have to mention the head stock design..absolutely perfection on that..the string thru the nut to the tuners has the perfect break angle and almost straight thru to the tuners..the tuning stability im sure is top notch and im sure that guitars just resonates all the way thru to the headstock...notes probably sustain for along time...form and function absolute...amazing how a plant that mankind has had a relationship with a symbiosis if you would for thousands of years can create such a masterpiece..your are lucky to have such an instrument..such craftsmanship and passion that went in to that..
I really enjoyed that you didn't do all the playing at the beginning or end of the video and talked for the rest but broke the talking with playing. It made the video very easy to watch
Absolutely amazing. So full. I want to say bright but that can imply piercing and it's anything but. Very clear in the whole spectrum. Just beautiful. Sounds mic'd up and mixed. I love it.

I myself have dabbled with the thought of using hemp as a guitar material and didn't think anyone had done it. Sounds great!👍
I have never heard a guitar with such a creamy, silky tone. Truly a one of a kind sound.
Koa wood is in the same ballpark
It’s crazy to see someone that can really breakdown the sound of a guitar. Awesome

I HATE a rounded back on an acoustic. I've always avoided Ovations for precisely that reason. The guitar sounds nice though.
Rounded backs always looked ugly and they don’t provide much of a bass response, tho this guitar is very beautiful and unique.
