Damn how may times did I say "Ireland" in the intro?
Also the clean tone on the James Tyler is 🤯
Don’t sweat it. You’re an excellent amateur journalist and player too. All the best!
I used a tyler on the etheral 80s cleans video you made a video on. They are the BEST for that glassy tone.
Right? It sounded like it was DI into the camera, or was using active elecronics, or something. Gotta love the groovy green with tortoiseshell pickguard too. The font on the headstock did give me a bit of epilepsy for a moment, but it's certainly distinct. Great vid, as ever. Keep them coming. Cheers from FL, USA.
P.S.
The Bacchus was intriguing as well. I love electrics with a naturally loud, acoustic sound to them. Most good, Fendery guitars seem to have that property about them and I like that they're using deadfall timber too.
@@KristianLarsenGuitar 100% proof right here
Wait, where are you from?
I'm from Ireland so this is great to see. I usually buy online which probably isn't the best idea especially with the way things are moving for our economy. Better to support local business.
As long as you got the local businesses go there.
@@DoomOfConviction assuming they're worth supporting. Not all are.
Oh man.. buying a guitar online is the scariest thing ever. Unless you're meaning gear and what-not, that's understandable. But buying a guitar without holding it first I don't think I could ever do.
@@beemelonhead1 I’ve done it lots of times. I like the differences in guitars. If they feel a bit weird I just keep playing them until I get used to them.
@@beemelonhead1
Never a problem, you can always return it, no questions asked (usually)!
Ireland has better guitar selection than any store in Texas and the salesmen are actually knowledgeable...go figure.
Texas guitar center employee here, what would you like to know??????
@@ashleyjohansson230 I bought a Kiso Suzuki W150 in 1983, what are they constructed of?
You're in Texas dude. What do you expect? Don't get me wrong.. my mom lives in Fort Worth. Texans are mostly good people but, there's a certain amount of ignorance in people you can't quite put your finger on but you know it's there.
@@beemelonhead1 great comment to sound like a pretentious prick
@@andhewonders Sorry we dont carry any of those new at guitar center, I can use my phone to search for your answer though unless you want to! 😊😊
For KDH and anyone else out there wanting to make videos in their local shops be sure to buy a pack of strings or a few cables before you leave!
Show your support for local music stores!
and a guitar :)
My local music store has scammed me so many times so no thank you. Bought a neck from the owner, who hand makes them, it’s twisted, and he won’t replace. On top of that, when I bought a neck before the twisted one, I bought the neck for 90$ and asked if he would hold onto it for a few days because I didn’t want it getting dinged up in my shop while I finished the body I was building, came back maybe five days later, and he brought out a different neck, saying that the cheap squire neck is the neck I bought, instead of the nicer neck I actually purchased. Had to threaten to report to the BBB to get the neck I already paid for five days earlier, instead of the cheap squire neck.
sadly all the local shops were pushed out by soulless franchises here
Hail to the Irish people! In 2016 thousands of irish football supporters came to my hometown in France, though I nowdays hate football (well, soccer if you prefer), I had great time with those fellows, always singing (in tune!) and being very nice. Great folks! greetings from France, cheers!
I like the Bachhus'. It sounds great plus the ecological story behind saving an otherwise "unusable" tone wood as the top give it a different look while maintaining a gr8 sound. Thumbs up. Nice shop!
Im in Ireland too - went to a local Limerick music store looking for a Squire Jaguar (knowing it would be E100 more than Thomann) and was told if I ordered then and there that they couldn't guarantee a delivery date. I was shown the order book and some Fender customers were waiting 18 months and counting... Really feel for the local stores in these trying times but I ended up a month later getting my Jaguar from Thomann E100 cheaper. *eeek*
Awesome, this is the content im here for. Love this:)
Fantastic to see Irish guitar stores getting representation!
That James Tyler sounded gorgeous, haven't heard of them before this.
For what it's worth, if I were in Ireland there is zero question this would have gotten me to that store! Love this... puts that going to the guitar shop feel right up front. Thanks.
Great to see a knowledgeable, enthusiastic bunch running a cool shop. Nice video :)
As an Irish guitarist myself, i've been to quite a few music shops in Ireland. Unfortunately, I have not had a great experience in most of them. But one of the best places i've dealt with is Beat It Music in Louth. Great guys in there and they have some very interesting guitars. Check them out if your ever in the area.
Hey Daniel ... I've found Music Maker in Dublin great to deal with .. bought 3 guitars and a few other bits off them over the last couple of years , I always deal with a guy called Nigel .. got some great deals and always had a good laugh .. and this was all online .. looking forward to checking out the shop at some stage .. hope KDH visits that store .
But I hear what your saying .. there was one shop I wont mention the name .. but it was like he was doing me a favour selling me a guitar .. the deal didn't happen in the end .. he fucked it up .. & I got the same guitar for 500 cheaper in Holland .. I'll always try buy in Ireland first but It does pay to shop around and haggle .. :)
Beat it music in blackrock used to be the Mecca for vintage music gear trading! Owner Conor Hughes used to have some serious gems until an American purchaser bought everything off him.... that must’ve been 15-20yrs ago.... magic days
Dude that guitar store is beyond anything I've ever been to. The selection was bananas 🍌
Having private rooms to test gear is cool too.
Definitely wanna see more of this.

Really like your playing too man, you're awesome on the axe 🪓
Imagine if the video ended with April fools & the whole time he was guitar shopping he was in Slough 🤣
It hurts being a lefty and seeing such amazing guitars... Still though it's nice to window shop I guess. Great vid man, showcasing music shops for us Irish and getting the word out, can't wait to see more 🤘
Schecter makes many left handed guitars
I made myself learn right handed even though I am incredibly left handed, for that exact reason. Left handed guitars were still on average $150 more and seriously lacking 20 years ago.
Lichkrieg I heard Mark Knopfler is LH too, and plays RH because his vibrato is better. I assumed he was a bit ambidextrous, but maybe not. ✌️🇦🇺
@@castleanthrax1833 maybe I am. I forced myself to play drums right handed as well.
@@lichkrieg4898 Very funny. Thanks for the laugh. ✌️
Great idea for a series and very cool tour of this shop!
Ordered bass strings that couldn't be gotten anywhere in Ireland from there and they not only ordered them from a European supplier but got extra in stock in case I needed more going forward. Great shop!
The store has its own testing room...cool, never seen that before.
Not living in Ireland anymore I really enjoyed this and look forward to future videos like this. Really cool 👏
From Ireland myself. Living in Toronto now, but go back every year or so. This summer I'd love to check out some of the locally made guitars and shops. Amazing selection, as good or better than any Canadian stores. That Bacchus is sick! Thanks for this👍
Great video KDH. And great playing as usual sir! Keep em coming.
This is great. Something we wouldn't get to see otherwise. Thanks.
Cool video! I always thought the James Tyler headstock looked like a certain hand gesture, but the real shocker is the price tag! 😛
I can't stand those headstocks.
Just plain ugly in my opinion.
@@briano.1503 Yeah absolutely hideous
This is my local guitar shop!!!!
Really enjoyed the sound of the Bacchus...such an open and unique sounding guitar.
really loving that Bacchus, it's got a sort of a Novo vibe
Thanks for this. I've never been into Everest Music but passed it many times, now I know what it's like and will take a trip down there at some point.
This is great. Love this kind of thing. Keep it up!
I think I've never heard you play so smooth as with the Bacchus... I could tell it sat well with you ❤️
Please do more of these!! the guitar store ambience is just so soothing
11:15 Perfect Timing! wow I didn't expect you to pull that one out. You even got so close to that tone too.
Great video, keep it up! :)
Wow! That shop has all the guitars literally! I live in Los Angeles, I can walk to Norms from where I live, for all of you who know about that guitar shop. None of the big stores have inventory like that!
You can walk there, but can you afford to buy there?
@@castleanthrax1833 sure I can! I got 250k for the 59 Les Paul. Lol! Norms is really for vintage collectors.
DENIM AND LEATHER!!!!!! Don't think I've EVER heard another tuber play that!! Kudos for that!!
More of this please. I’d like to see some more of the music shops in Ireland.
Great riffing on the 335 style from Everest. Like that shop. Bought my last amp there.
James Tyler just like “Let’s make the best playing, most ghastly looking guitar we can”
Great video. The salesbloke was quite knowledgeable and forthcoming. One that I would enjoy talking to.
Just got back from a 10 day 6 city road trip in Ireland. Spent St Patrick’s day in Limerick at Bobby Byrnes. Then went to Savins Music Centre. It’s a 3 level store. Great little store. Then in Dublin went to Some Neck Guitars, super vintage gear. Loved the trip. Driving wasn’t too much trouble. Only hit 3 curbs. BTW we’re from Texas.
Wow, really informative video. I didn't know a lot of those brands. Keep up the good work!
Yes! More of this please!!!
This is really cool dude! Thanks for sharing!
That is an amazing guitar store!!! It never gets old walking into a great guitar shop anywhere....lol.😎👍❤️🎸
Wow great video. This is the first time I’ve seen your channel and I am thinking it may have sent the link because of three Corey Davis channel in Ireland as well. Not sure but I am sure glad they sent the link I have subscribed and looking forward to it.
Great video! When I was living in Cork my go-to was Pro Musica, which had a nice selection compared to the similar sized shops here in Canada.
There’s a killer guitar shop right next to Ha’Penny bridge. Guys there were super cool! Also found a great one in Kilkenny, near the oldest church in the town- husband and wife outfit. Really killer folks! Loved the 3 months i lived in Ireland. Wish they’d have let me live there longer!
Nice to see how excited those guys at your local guitar shop were!
Wow. Some really great playing here too!
I just discovered your channel, and I'm binging my way through all your videos. Mad to hear them selling Bacchus guitars. I bought one maybe 16 years ago, a g-player SSS with a blend pot. Incredible guitars, and really unknown back then. I might have to pop out to Bray to have a good look around Everest, Incredible shop and amazing knowledge from the staff.
That James Tyler was amazing, that glassy clean tone omg
Great video my friend I've just found your channel. nice guitar playing. and what a great guitar shop. Thanks, Tony uk.
Awesome content, would love to see more vids like this. I love hanging around guitar stores and this is like the ultimate guitar voyeurism.
Also, that Bacchus guitar is so cool. Love that it's making use of an underappreciated material, and it looks and sounds awesome. If they had one at my local store I'd be sorely tempted.
They're handmade in japan...bring $2k with you
@@kmatax9237 From what I can find, that guitar is actually more in the 1600~ USD range. And you say that kinda like its a bad thing to spend money on a handmade guitar with a fairly unique pickup scheme. Especially with the relicing, that stuff takes time even if its not what I really want in my guitars. And it also seems to play really well and I have played a few guitars of that price and a bit less that have been absolutely terrible. Its also using a different wood choice for a good reason. I think its wayyyy more worth it than, say, a fender custom shop that would probably be....just a lot more for the same specs. And honestly, I think I'd rather spend a bit more on this than a mexican fender or something else, just because this seems a bit closer to what I've enjoy anyways.
@@paulg3686 It's definitely better than a US Gibson lol. Fender custom shop would have a slight edge over handmade Japanese, PROBABLY, but handmade boutique Japanese guitars walks over US Gibson anyday.
i would just like to say that i really enjoyed this video
Nice to hear you play. Beauty guitars there.
Great video DUDE
Nice overview of the shops! Bonus for the Saxon riff!
I immediately fell in love with that Bacchus JRP during your video and just had to order one. Such a great and gnarly sounding guitar!
Does it sound the same in person as it does thru a tiny phone speaker?
JK
Thanks for doing this video. It’s always good in my opinion to see guitar shops/ music shops in other places. I’m from Oz but live in NZ cheers 🍻
We'll still let ya back in mate. ✌️🇦🇺
@@castleanthrax1833 haha yeah nah yeah 🍻
Love your channel and watched every video!
I'd love for you to do a video exploring the ROI guitar builder scene, see what you guys have going on 🧐
I'm from Texas, that's an absolutely stunning shop. Incredible.
I went on a nice little shopping spree there on Tuesday, very nearly bought that Ormsby, beautiful guitar alright. Ended up with a nice PRS Custom 24, a Strat Ultra and Tele Elite. Super nice lads in the shop, will most certainly be back.
Loved the Mr Big riff near the beginning
Green tinted sixty's mind right? Awesome song man!
That’s a great guitar shop and your playing was great 👍
Hey man!! Good to see ya!! My 2011prophecy Lespaul custom GX actually made it to out there bf it came to me it's my baby
the clean sound of that James Tyler guitar made my smile
Great to hear some SAXON !!!
In every town, we need heroes like this
I appreciate you showing interesting guitars. I thought this video would be boring and you'd just show off Gibsons, Fenders, Ibanez, etc but you actually demonstrated a lot of interesting stuff which made this a great video.
I can't even begin to fathom how much more guitars cost in Ireland than in Canada. After moving to Ireland in the early 90's, I had to look into buying a new hard case for my 1991 PRS Custom 24 after it was damaged by baggage handlers, I noticed the shop in Dublin had the exact same year/model as mine. Out of curiosity, I asked how much it was going for, but when they told me it was 3,500 IRP, I was stunned!
When I bought my PRS in Canada, it cost $2,984.25 including 7% provincial sales tax and 6% GST (Goods & Services Tax, our equivalent of VAT). At that time, the Irish punt was worth about $2.25 Canadian, so their price was over two and a half times what I paid in Canada!
I haven't the faintest idea how you stand for that!😲
that japanese red pine tele with goldfoil is so sweet sounding good vid love the channel
Dude, you're a phenomenal player.
great idea! love it
Hey, I'm a gigging musician from Derry and I'm literally in the lookout for a couple guitars at the minute so this could be super helpful. I'm trying to get my hands on a once in a lifetime acoustic with a budget of about £5000 and a really nice USA p bass so if you could show those in your videos too it would be great! Even super nice second hand pieces. Been around most of the shops in the North and yet to find anything. Thanks for the content!
1:41 Sweet, "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind".... cool... haven't heard that in years, must go listen to it now...
Far more knowledge shared than most stores I walk into in the PNW....😃
Been to Irland twice. Beautiful country! Definitely coming back!
Also, I love Guinness.
Love Guinness. ✌️🇦🇺
More of a Murphy's man myself.
@@wolfgangervin2582 I enjoyed that one, too!
I actually bought my first guitar in Everest Music in Bray years ago in their old shop. A red Fender Squier Strat. It's still upstairs lol.
I went to a place in Cork when I was looking to purchase. I forget the name of it but they had a lovely Schecter on display in the window. It was a bit outside my budget at between €500 & €600 though. That place in your video looks like a cool place for trying out and buying guitars though.
That hair really brings your guitar playing to another level
Some real beauties over there!
ohh damn! i typically just watch the journalism bits but the green tinted sixties mind intro was on the money!
Wow that Woodstock sounded gorgeous, nice tone.
Great stooooorrrre, nice guitaaarrr playing!
cool to see a store carrying bacchus,cant find them in london,the japan models are great,deviser factory japan,who also make momose guitars etc i own a 90s made in japan levinson blade strat,also made by deviser,the old mij blades are cool
I really like that Baccus JRP but I checked Everest & all their other dealers but there are none to be found. That green Fender Meteora is sweet too.
ireland checking in, more of these please!
Visited a really cool shop in Dublin in January 3rd or 4th 2013 (Was there for the vibe).. can't remember the name. They put up with me sat there knocking out Lizzy bass lines for an hour or so.
I’m not in Ireland but this was definitely a nice contrast from seeing the usual American guitar centre stuff
Great vid idea! Lets us window shop vicariously thru you.... But you know what time it is......... Its time to.... Wait!!... when are you dudes comin over to the US to do some gigs...? I will have to kill time catching intervals and animals as leaders in the meantime.
I did go to a few guitar shops here in ireland....but they never had any seven string or more models....which is next on my list
man,that Bacchus is great
are there any fgn neo classic les paul style guitar in Ireland guitar store ?
Angel Vivaldi's Charvel Nova 6 is rad, I have the 7 string version but the blue color of the 6 string is very nice ~
Looks like a great shop!
I really liked that Japanese red wood Jazzmaster-shaped one - though I typically have an aversion to relic'd guitars. How did the gold-foil in the neck feel to play?
Those are lollar gold foils btw
@@kmatax9237 yes they are. They are amazing pickups in anything you put them in.
Nice playing chief!
The first JRP Guitars Bacchus you played is def my fav. The Larry Carlton & Ukrainian tele sound very nice.
Thumbs up for"Green Tinted Sixties Mind". Such a nice song!
That's a bad ass gee-tar shop!!
Love your channel, Hi from Russia!
We used to have 5 or 6 guitar shops here in Cork, now really only one left Pro Musica. It was the Saturday circuit in our teens. Hope you can make the trip down!
That's where my Gram was from before she ran away to the states. What I wouldnt give to go to Ireland, a few of my family have been able to, but I'm such a #@% up I'm lucky to be upright at all.
@@saltpeter7429 Hope you get to make the trip someday. Few pints of stout and you won't need to be upright anyway.
What a great selection there! Interesting video - do another one in another shop?
Jimis and some neck ! Great shops.
Wonderful share 💜 thanks!
