got myself an Ibanez AZES40 currently wrapped sitting under the Christmas tree from the kiddies (they don't know it was me who picked the guitar) Feel like a kid myself again waiting for Christmas! Also love your work Dagan! can't not watch every video you are in :)
Dagan made me pick up the guitar after a long absence. Age 17 to 60. Just hoping I can actually somewhere this time. I miss my Ibanez "Les Paul" from the 70s before they had to stop making them.
I love the look of the new Striker and I was able to try a couple of them! Didn't buy it though because the model I wanted had mistakenly had a 3-way switch installed instead of a 5-way. I also would love to try the Revstar since my Pacifica 612 is an excellent guitar. However, Yamaha electric guitars are almost impossible to find in Texas right now...
Bro the Jackson js32 series is great for the price. Even the js32 dinky with a Floyd doesn’t go over 400 usd. I got my Jackson js32 king v in Ferrari red for 330 brand new. It sounds great and as dagan would say “looks the business” it’s a great guitar for the price
In this same price range I’d also suggest any Epiphone Inspired by Gibson or Prophecy guitars, they all seem really on point. The inspired by Gibson explorer looks and feels nearly the same as the real deal, for less than 1/3rd of the price
Thank you for all your work brother I'm definitely sold on that PRS I will do everything I needed to and if not I've got enough to get me through just about any squeeze or into a few squeezes haha have a great day from across the pond
,Great demo & review, Dagan... #1...Epi Power Player #2 The Kramer(Very.close 2nd) #3 The Antiquity TL-1 That little Epi Power Player sounds great. Full bodied tone!
That was great Dagan! I love the 40th Anniversary Squier Strat and I hate to say it but I am warming up to thee Silver Sky a bit, they do sound great! the stubby headstock though....anyway Thank you, happy holidays buddy!
I have one too and once you work out the bugs from Shipping it is by far one of my most played guitars at the moment you know always got to fall back on a few of my work horses
question: A guitar that doesn't suck for beginners plugged into an entry-level amplifier (that probably does) will not sound as well as it sounds in the video. So, my question is, for a beginner (no pedal, no gate noise, no fancy stuff), is it better to spend less on a cheap guitar but a little more on an amplifier? I said that because I find it difficult to hear in your videos the difference between an entry-level guitar and one a "little more expensive". Maybe it's me, as a beginner. Or maybe is the camera mic. I don't know. Anyway, good video as always, and good affordable guitars from what I can tell. Ps. I bought myself an Eko Aire Lite (Italian brand, I think you know it) and a marshall MG15 (non FX, unfortunately). I will upgrade to something better, but for now, I need to practice with it.
I would say as a beginner your main goal should be a decent guitar to play on, and more important learn on. You might not get the perfect sound on a smaller cheaper amp, but Amps especially used, are cheaper in my experience than a solid guitar. So probably best to buy a solid guitar to learn on, then worry about the better amp and accessories later down the road.
It’s a good question. When I first picked up a guitar 20 years ago, cheap guitar definitely equalled bad guitar that was difficult to play and not good for a beginner. It seems that now you can buy an inexpensive guitar that won’t be horrible to play but many really cheap amps continue to sound bad. I’m no expert, maybe others will disagree, but that’s my current thinking
I had an cheap guitar and an ever cheaper amp at the beginning (back in 1983) my way was first a slightly better guitar, than an better amp, and so on. The better you get, the better the guitar should be. When you can play that guitar, get an slightly better amp. So the tone gets better. And if you have one guitar or amp that you think is the best for you, get the other one better.
@@MattSwain1 I think that is a fair point, guitar quality has seemingly increased for sure! I just wager you can get a used amp that can produce a lot of tones for pretty cheap later down the line.
Man I'm glad you brought that out at PRS because that is truly an awesome guitar I mean for the money there's just no beating it I mean you pay a lot more for a decent Stratocaster and it's just the name the PRS you ask me does everything if not better than the Strat
I love floyd roses but ever since a couple of months ago when I snapped the b string on my used 2011 Kramer assult plus I've been to scared to go raise the pitch with it. that was not a fun day at school.
@@DaganWilkin that's awesome! i've got one of my own (in a pretty blue/purple/pink colourway, bi representation yay!) and i adore that thing to pieces. keep rocking dagan, love your stuff
Yamaha Revstar Element w- satin neck is calling to me. It has a Rickenbacker-ish look which I like. It's striking but I REALLY wish Yamaha had extended the pickguard down to the selector switch in the style of a Strat or Jazzmaster. That one looks a bit quirky but I guess it works. It sounds great as well. Woah... okay, just saw the price. Anyway, gotta say -- that was some fantastic playing throughout. 🤘
I know its difficult for you to comment Dagan, being a PMT guy and all, however, the in-house brand for Thomann, Harley Benton, make some really great budget guitars.🤖
So, do they? Saw on the Website that they do not, but it would be awesome if they would or if they partnered with some music store offering these guitars.
id like to get that Kramer but would replace that lic floydRose with a Gotoh trem , would replace it with an original floyd but who has $350 to shellout on a bridge , I think i paid around $120 maybe a little less, anything besides the original FloydRose if its gotta be FloydRose is potmetal junk
Met degan at pmt leeds when I bought my hummingbird bird awesome guy but was heavily chastised by my son for failing to secure a selfie lol but I'm 40 was happy to say hi as he was busy but still spoke for five of his own accord stopped what he was doing told me some facts about hummingbird that saved me cash top guy and hope to meet again I feel a gretch with fultons calling me from.pmt leeds but if we do meet degan make sure I get my selfie remind me be more than my lifes worth to fail to get a selfie on two occasions but great asset and ambassador for pmt dont know hat ya pay him but not enogh I dont order online now cos I know theres a pmt close and a good one as degan him self was ther playing a Jackson if memory serves me I only buy guitars ther now find guitar neck lovely bit high at nut and they sorted it laff happy great shop and rock on degan live ya work and ya whole vibe legend in ya own life and lunch time haha
Do you guys happen to have any info or know anything about the Ibanez grga120? It’s a gio series and I am considering buying one for my first guitar. I tried out the grgr120 and 131 ex and the grga felt better while playing and in my hands.
No Jacksons ? I have a beautiful white JS32 I bought recently and l immediately sold an Ibanez Jem JR after playing one, I liked it so much more (and it was way cheaper).
Like I mention at the start, this is a new episode in a series of these kind of videos. The Jem JR and even the JS32 have been included in previous videos 🤘
None of these guitars are available in my country cos people here are rich. So the authorised dealers never bring in budget or entry level guitars. If you see a cheap guitar you better buy it before it's gone. Sad.
Did you guys try getting ahold of me? If not, there is a scammer$##$ claiming to be you guys. Scammer, do not mess with my daily guitar feed👹☠️👹 PMTVUK is my vacation
All the guitars are linked in the description box so you can check the info & prices at PMT Online. If we included prices at the time of recording the video, in a years time if the prices were to change, we don’t want to be misinform you guys!

Also love your work Dagan! can't not watch every video you are in :)
Niiceee! What a Christmas. Cheers! 🤘⚡️
If six strings were nailed to a plank of wood, Dagan would make it sound amazing. He is such a great great guitar player.
Cheers! 🙏🤘
True facts
Truth!
🤘⚡
@@DaganWilkin Nice name brother
Dagan made me pick up the guitar after a long absence. Age 17 to 60. Just hoping I can actually somewhere this time. I miss my Ibanez "Les Paul" from the 70s before they had to stop making them.
That’s awesome to hear, glad you’re playing again! Dagan actually has a 70’s lawsuit Ibanez Les Paul too. Keep rocking man! 🤘
Yes Dagan, it generally has to look good to you before you go finger bangin it. Those semi hollow's sound so good with distortion!
I love the look of the new Striker and I was able to try a couple of them! Didn't buy it though because the model I wanted had mistakenly had a 3-way switch installed instead of a 5-way. I also would love to try the Revstar since my Pacifica 612 is an excellent guitar. However, Yamaha electric guitars are almost impossible to find in Texas right now...
That 40th anniversary gold edition strat is MINT god it looks so good
You know, the bad part is, some people are going to buy these guitars and then wonder why they don't sound as good as when you played them
Awesome video.. great to bump into you at the hydro last night 🙌🏻
Nice to meet you mate! 🤘
Wow, that Ibanez is amazing! Especially with that extra switch.
I’ve always enjoyed playing Slow Dancing In a Burning Room as if it were a metal song
You looked like you were having the best time playing that Revstar!
I always have the same two thoughts watching his videos: “Wow! Great guitar!” and “Wow! I need to hit the woodshed!”
Bro the Jackson js32 series is great for the price. Even the js32 dinky with a Floyd doesn’t go over 400 usd. I got my Jackson js32 king v in Ferrari red for 330 brand new. It sounds great and as dagan would say “looks the business” it’s a great guitar for the price

My two favorites were the hollow body 35 and the racing stripes Yamaha
Antiquity 35 is just a rare jem that you have discovered for us, and I thank you for that.
,Great demo & review, Dagan...
#1...Epi Power Player
#2 The Kramer(Very.close 2nd)
#3 The Antiquity TL-1
That little Epi Power Player sounds great. Full bodied tone!
Cool list of guitars. I really like the look of that Yamaha Revstar Element... except for the White Tuners
That was great Dagan! I love the 40th Anniversary Squier Strat and I hate to say it but I am warming up to thee Silver Sky a bit, they do sound great! the stubby headstock though....anyway Thank you, happy holidays buddy!

That revstar is going to blow up ,Aesthetically its fresh af
You're getting healthier Dagan.
Lots of love from India ♥️
Awesome! This video doesn't suck either!! Thanks for the list.
The video doesn't tell me which one I need to get so I can play like Dagan. (Seriously, inspiring stuff. x)

loved the video. One guitar I'll definitely add there is Jackson JS34Q .
Great vid, all of these sound fantastic for the price! =)
AZES is my fav =P

I appreciate Dagan’s appreciation for John Mayer 🤘🏻
Depending on $, I'd prefer the 335. I wish you had a Epi Firebird in the line up.For the price, you can't go wrong with the Squire.
wish we had this options when we where young ;-) - great review!
I just wish someone had told me to tighten the screws and nuts ...
I love floyd roses but ever since a couple of months ago when I snapped the b string on my used 2011 Kramer assult plus I've been to scared to go raise the pitch with it. that was not a fun day at school.
Damn that Antiquity 335 copy sounds good...
It does indeed, I bought one! Haha
@@DaganWilkin I just need to convince the missus that I've won one in a raffle, she'll be none the wiser.
Kind of funny most people wouldn't be caught dead with the Yamaha but they always seem to surprise the hell out of me
love the casiOak you're wearing (or at least i think it's one of those)
It is indeed 👍

I bought the Standard a few months ago and it’s effin INSANE…but one, NOW
Revstar all the way for me.. Great piece of kit..🤘🏼🇦🇺
I love My ibanez70qa❤
Dagan: It’s small but mighty.
Me: YMMV.
I know its difficult for you to comment Dagan, being a PMT guy and all, however, the in-house brand for Thomann, Harley Benton, make some really great budget guitars.🤖
Does PMT ship to Canada? That’s AQ35 is beautiful!!
So, do they? Saw on the Website that they do not, but it would be awesome if they would or if they partnered with some music store offering these guitars.
Great video Dagan, tho I wouldn't class a se silver sky as a cheap guitar 😀 at £699
It’s cheap compared to the USA one, and feels almost identical 👀 haha
@@DaganWilkin fair point mate, tho you cud get a whole load of kramer for that money, I'd rather a jersey star in candy apple red 🤘
If its about having a PRS in the list, i would take the silver sky se out and bring the se standard 24. Its cheaper and very vetsatile
What guitar is that, that sat on the left the whole time??? (White one)
Which one was most comfortable when you played it?
Just in time for the Holidays!
It’s almost like they planned it that way.
We can’t do the ‘best cheap guitars of 2022’ in March, can we?! 😂
@@DaganWilkin Very true, lmao. Liking that Kramer Striker though. 👀
This has probably been mentioned before but the Yamaha PAC012 is a pretty good cheap guitar
Yeah it’s awesome! We’ve included it in a previous ‘Cheap guitars that don’t suck’ video 👌
What does a Cramer cost
Very nice
id like to get that Kramer but would replace that lic floydRose with a Gotoh trem , would replace it with an original floyd but who has $350 to shellout on a bridge , I think i paid around $120 maybe a little less, anything besides the original FloydRose if its gotta be FloydRose is potmetal junk
Review the invoice ils 300 please.
what is your signal chain for that Antiquity? It sound shockingly awesome!
Straight into a Boss Katana 50w MKII 🤘
Dig deep for a nice Gibson you'll keep for life!
Donner Thinline
Love that Yamaha!

Can you please review the Ferrari Red Jackson King V JS32T
41:43 What song is this?
Edge of Desire by John Mayer
riff from 19:40 ? song?
Thunder Kiss ‘65 👌
Mitchell MD 200 not to bad
anybody know what guitar that is all the way to the left?
Can the Antiquity AQ35 get shipped to the US? I checked the website and it wasn’t an option. Anyone know where to score one?
As of now they're only available in the UK, sorry!
i love dagan
Leaving this comment so when this video gots 250,000 views I can say I was here first.
Hey look ma I’m famous!

...I want one.
The guitars are cool too... 😳
I mean the Boss Katana...get your mind out of the gutter...
I swear Degan makes every guitar he holds look tiny
Jackson JS22 Dinky...
He is a stratospheric player 50yrs ago he would have creamed it.
THE HARLEY BENTON HB550. IS BETTER THAN ALL OF THEM MY A LONG LONG WAY.
Come into the 21st century cost means nothing anymore..professional quality guitars made on all 4 corners of the world price tags mean nothing today
Best cheap 12 string electric....ahem? 😀
and the one you are playing is out of stock
Did you guys try getting ahold of me? If not, there is a scammer$##$ claiming to be you guys. Scammer, do not mess with my daily guitar feed👹☠️👹 PMTVUK is my vacation
You should have put the price on it each guitar that you displayed but if you did then let me know cuz I love me a Stratocaster and a hollow body

EART 335…for $400 it is unbeatable….hell for $1000 it is
Silver Sky’s sound so damn thin and ice picky…I’ve played 3 and they all felt/sounded like shit…almost like a toy guitar
800 pound guitar isn't cheap and it shouldn't be in a supposedly line up of cheap guitars. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎Thumbs down from me, goodbye.
Review the iyv ils 300 please.
