    Very interesting. We live in a great time to buy guitars.. When I started (I'm 61) you had Gibson and Fender basically and all others were cheap imports that were horrible usually, and even some of the expensive Fender and Gibson guitars didn't have much competition so they weren't that great either. Now, because of CNC and competition companies are making great products and it shows..

    Clearly whatever you play will turn out well... your talent shows... It's also obvious that the expensive guitar is more defined... However, for the value, the AZes is not far behind... Sound like the face is too much money for me, and the sound of the Azes makes me happy!!! It's not bad at all... Greetings and never stop playing... Even when you're a grandfather and have arthritis or Parkinson's, keep playing, maybe in another style... But don't stop, you do it very well

  • @soraroxesventerra
    @soraroxesventerra Год назад +2

    I love my azes40mgr. It's better than I thought it'd be. I was expecting it to be good but I didn't expect it to stay in tune, feel so great and comfortable, and look so good. It really does feel like a $1000 guitar and sounds atleast as good as a $600-800 guitar. The versatility to the guitar is unmatched for the price as well! My only complaints is the tremelo makes the guitar go out of tune fast, and while it can definitely play metal, it's not the best option for metal.

    AZES uses cheap ceramic pickups, a 6-screw tremolo bridge, standard nickel frets, standard tuners and plastic nut, while the AZ has alnico Seymour Duncans, 2-point Gotoh bridge, Gotoh locking tuners and stainless steel frets and bone nut. The AZES sounds brighter and the AZ sounds warmer due to the different material for the magnet in the pickups, that being said you could get the sound of the 2k guitar just by getting the same pickups into the 300 bucks one.

    • @VeitLehmann
      @VeitLehmann Месяц назад

      Another option would be the EART DMX-9. Same switching as the AZ(ES), and comes with most of the features of the high-end AZ (stainless steel frets, roasted maple neck with compound radius, 2-point tremolo, AlNiCo pickups etc.), for $600. Just without the big name and made in China. I never played one but it looks really nice and seems to be a sick value!
