@@omarabz4129 oh 100% the 20k one definitely is gorgeous and had a lot of beautiful craftsmanship! but even looking at like the 600$ tele. Seems like it was a great guitar with an even better price tag!
From what I've gotten over the years the price has almost nothing to do with the tone or the feel of the guitar. It's mostly quality of life stuff. How well it holds tuning, how long the materials will last, defects, etc. $500-$1000 seems to be the sweet spot.
That $20k PRS was outrageously nice. I would have probably ended up with the Hollowbody II too though, I’ve played a few of those that I absolutely loved. Great video man!
@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 not really, the wood and glassy look of the guitar is no joke, not mention the exensive wood they use, or expensive frets and that guitar may just be special or one of a kind
I tell you what that Squier Tele looked and sounded pretty nice for around $600, with a bound neck amazing that you can get a banging new guitar in that price range.
I recently did this in Alberta Canada, at a major guitar shop. My budget was 1000$ to 3000$ in an Strat style body. They picked 5 guitars, unknown to me at the time, a Fender American, a PRS S2 Custom 24, a G&L Legacy, a Squier and a Godin Session. Same amp and room, I went by feel and sound alone. I walked away with the Godin Session HT matt black. Love it.
Shame the Ibanez wasn't tuned, or that a more expensive model than the GIO was not picked out. They're my personal favourite brand and I always find myself gravitating towards them, would have been interesting to see your take on them.
Honestly bro, the fact you can play so well while blindfolded blows me away. Also, maybe check out some 8s in the future, you don't have to djent on them, I know some jazz players like them for doing extended chord inversions. Oh, and the 8th is normally tuned to an F# an octave lower then the 2nd fret E on a six.
Unrelated, but you are one of the best teachers on youtube. Seriously, ive seen them all by now 😂 Very technically sound and great musicianship! Rarely do you see both in one. Many are either great players who can’t explain, or great at explaining but their playing isn’t as tight - so they overcomplicate with theory rather than practice. Anyway, I’m sure 52 week player is a great value, but some of us already have enough skill (or resourcefulness) that we don’t really feel it’s worth it. I suggest you make a few patreon tiers for those of us fall in that category. Maybe an extra vid / lesson a week, tabs on screen. Nothing too crazy ✌️
Really enjoyed this - my fave was definitely the $20k PRS though - the tone on that on clean was so balanced and complete. And your first choice was my second.
This was an interesting concept that just wasn't really planned that well. While Brandon played the guitar, Roy should have been grabbing the next guitar and starting to tune them so they were good to play when handed over. Still a fun video though.
Dude makes it so obvious the whole video any time there's an expensive guitar. "Dude I think this one is my favorite. You should get that one. It sounds so good."
Great guitar, when i bought the PRS hollowbody i also got myself an acoustic amp and i love the sound of playing the PRS trough both outlets and amps at the same time.
My last bass guitar I bought like this. I knew what I had in my toolbox at home, but I needed something to augment it with, so I told the clerk to start handing me basses. Then I did what you did and played them (eyes shut to prevent oogly-bias) to see what I needed, and I'm glad it wasn't a 20 grand bass that liked the most. It's too easy to fall in love or get repulsed by color, shape and brand. Try it out some time, people!
Ahh I would've chosen that blue PRS as well! Sweetwater sells that exact guitar in the US for $1279 lol. It was a similar price when I first saw it back in March. They are really really pretty guitars. Can't say I've ever played one though. But aesthetically at least, I'd totally choose it!
I just bought that same guitar after months of scouring reverb for the perfect flame top on it Not only does it sound incredible, but I got one the looks like a Top 10 for 1K US
Good choice - I was in Cosmo a couple of weeks ago and that very same PRS was in my final 2 but ended up with a Taylor T5Z - It was so close that I almost purchased both.
I see you picked those XS strings from Daddario. I've been using them for the last several months. they're durable and play great! Solid choice. My go to strings now.
I know you can't tell how nice an acoustic is from a screen but damn I could just tell that Gibson was something else. Every gibson acoustic I have played just feels incredible
SAT Question: 2 guys walk in to a guitar store; salesmen everywhere standing around talking shit; 1/2 of the guitars the 2 guys try are out of tune. How many salesmen do you need?
ngl, when i first started seeing this guys tiktoks and reels and whatnot, he really annoyed me, but after watching this video i’ve gained a lot of respect for him. subscribed
Just about to buy a SE HB II Piezo, so pleased to see it was the blind-fold choice. Mind without the blindfold I would have probably gone for the other PRS, it was stunningly gorgeous.
cracked me up when he over reached the head stock on the mini Taylor. Reminded me of when after learning to play on a cornet I got a trumpet. We were taught to snap our instrument into playing position so as I went to test drive, my muscle memory was for the length of the cornet and I almost knocked my front teeth out. I wound up not being able to play for several days after getting it because my teeth cut the inside of my lip.
Was this a store employee, or a friend? he's really got some kind of penchant for pointy axes with high output pickups (both singles and humbuckers). For the first TEN MINUTES he handed you exslucively shredder's guitars, even the Fender was a Hot single coil, Scalloped Yngwie.
@@jasondempsey2706 no unfortunately, I even turned on this thing I have that recognizes like every song, and I’ve never had any issue with it but it didn’t come back with anything when I turned that one on, it sucks cause I really wanted to learn that on guitar
That Blue to Black PRS is just beautiful man! Beautiful in every way. You came super close to buying a 2K PRS , I'd have loved to see your reaction! I've only seen you on shorts before this so it was cool to see you out of character. It suits you man! Nice guys at the shop, foocking with you the whole time you were blindfolded.... too funny 🤣✌️❤️🎸🎶🙏
I am lucky enough to have a " B.C Rich - Chuck Schuldiner signature - Stealth " ... Black - through-neck - one deMarzio pickup ... It's beautifully balanced. Sound's epic ... RIP Chuck, Brother 🙏 🤍 Great video and love your classes and fun " shorts " on YT 🙏🌎😬👍🏻

@@bartallen6849I'm even better than that, I can make an in tune guitar sound out of tune😊

I was rooting for the YJM strat but immediately when that blue PRS came out it was over
That Malmsteen strat sounded fantastic
Cause its a strat with SD humbukers piled looking like single coils. Part of Yngwies geniusness
It sounded absolutely insane. Incredible tone.
Fr I personally loved the distorted tone of that guitar the most out of any guitar in the video
@@MCMANCHESS12dyk what called the lick he played on it
Wish I could hear it in person, genuinely shocked me how the tone stood out amongst the others through the PC.
This would have been perfect if all the guitars had been in tune first. Not a really fair comparisons without that...
this was incredibly fun to watch
Sounds beautiful!Give me some juice!Do more like this please
i like how he got the best littel melody on a squier and not on those other expensive guitars in the beggining
Really enjoyed this - my fave was definitely the $20k PRS though - the tone on that on clean was so balanced and complete. And your first choice was my second.
yeah price speaks for itself obvs
The amount of Canadian hints Brandon dropped to Royziv to tune the guitars before giving them to him 😅😂
Yeah lol
Congratulations on the new guitar man, that one is a beauty
Looks like you had a fun day.
Love to see u review guitars together
i recently got a jackson SL3M Soloist rainbow crackle guitar, absolutely love it. really helped me with my learning due to how nice it is to play.
Roy's 12 sec playing was the top moment of the video... amazing playing!
Cosmo is my go to place for guitar (other than L&M). Great to see you hang out with Roy!
That scalloped neck strat was awesome.
This was an interesting concept that just wasn't really planned that well. While Brandon played the guitar, Roy should have been grabbing the next guitar and starting to tune them so they were good to play when handed over. Still a fun video though.
Dude makes it so obvious the whole video any time there's an expensive guitar. "Dude I think this one is my favorite. You should get that one. It sounds so good."
"I'm not getting a strat cause I already have a tele" I am in shock
I was thinkin the same thing 😭
this is not living.
just like shark tank answers lol
Always cool to see your own guitar in the background, spied my charcoal PRS
I like this idea. Can't wait to see what you end up with.
Dude! You ended up with the same guitar as me. Good choice.
Even the same strings.
Sexy ass guitar
That Malmsteen Strat is the winner in the tone dept👏🏻
Is that a song that he played with the gretsch twelve? If so what is the name that sounds gorgeous.
Dust in the wind by Kansas
