I have some white marks on the bridge of my brand new guitar, can you pls help me with it (iv tried to remove it with cloth but didn’t help)

Excellent. Embrace the mistakes. Sometimes they create a new opportunity.

Excellent demo, techniquement et musicalement, j aime particulièrement le montage rapide ou l on entend bien la progression entre les différentes cordes, même si la préférence du son est personnelle, on peut facilement avec ton démo percevoir la différence entre les cordes, j ai pu facilement entendre un son de plus en plus brillant voir même trop brillant avec les golds. À l aide de ce demo, tu nous guide dans un choix possible entre différentes marque de cordes en fonction d un changement de son que l on désire. Personnellement j ai une j45 payé $1500 usagé et mes cordes préférées sont les Addario xs 12 53 car les hautes fréquences sonnent plus fortes et les basses sont moins bouetteuses plus définies, pas certain que ce serait mon choix avec un guitare moins raisonnant dans le basse et plus claire. Encore une fois bravo pour le démo très bien fait.

What’s really crazy is that if u listen to these marks and use the comfort of the guitar 😢. If it shows u it’s twisting and bending use that n build structure for it and it becomes the best sounding acoustic j ever had

❤ excellent

What a complete waste of time. Wow

Now i need to wack my 1400 les paul. Your killing me

Unless i am wrong ( i have been 😮), that looks like a 50's reissue tele. If that neck allows vibration if truss rod is loose, then that neck is poorly made. Ive had lots of tele's, American, Mexican, Asian and quality is always high. Also been inside those type necks; truss rod is usually in an angled channel. The channel hugs the rod even slack. But if the channel is routed wrong, with air above the rod, then thats messed up. You will have a dead space in the neck, and it always sounds like shit, no matter what.

You don't have to whack it to know that your truss rod is loose, most likely the guitar play like crap with very high action and that's a perfect indication.

That's so cool! I just learned something new! 📚

fake! try harder with timing❤

I too agree with you

I have three garbage acoustic guitars that only serve my purposes. Garbage Airline guitar: useful for me as an exercise instrument - not for creating music. The other two? I paid the same price for all three: nothing. The other two are more ornamental than instrumental. Thank you for posting this. To respond to the question at the end, was it worth it? Emphatically, no! I would never subject a beginner to such frustration.

This was probably meant for standard tuning.

It hurts to see him trying to tune up to A immediately, pretending this is a high end instrument for advanced players. These cheap short scale guitars are made for beginners, who will most likely use a basic tuner or tuner app that will help them tuning to E. I've tried a few and it always worked well tuning to E. If that feels floppy, better tune up gradually. Otherwise a good idea learning to set these up, as they are often decent sounding, but badly set-up instruments. I suggest watching some of twoodfrd's videos. He would consider and measure well before doing anything, especially glueing on a new bridge.

My mom bought an even worse toy ukulele for my young son for Christmas or something thinking it would be a useful instrument for him to learn to play. It’s amazing what non musicians think would be usable. I tell people “if you are buying an instrument for a child, it still needs to be a real instrument.”

Wow! Bravo 👏🏼

This was really funny, i look forward to seeing more

You can really tell how poorly these guitars usually play by the amount of surprise she shows at 14:43 so hats off to your craftsmanship for turning this piece of junk into something that will actually help a child learn to enjoy guitar.

honestly, the people who tend to unironically buy this sort of stuff usually also got a decent enough music store within at least normal driving distances... you're far better off being bullshitted into buying something more expensive by the guys working in that store, like the Yamahas you mentioned, than arguing about how "I don't want to spend 150+ dollars on something they'll only use once.". like, the bowed classical we had laying around in the house for years, collecting dust... is now pretty much the only other acoustic guitar we own. fixed it myself with an iron set to steam mode, but even in it's bowed state... it was at least making sound. ever since fixing it, I have yet to really come across an acoustic or classical guitar that I'd hands down jump to buy. and this thing pretty much looks identical to one of those cheapo amazon basics style stuff, so the bar ain't even that high. this is getting really long, but literally the 20 dollar thrift store strat clone I found and bought specifically for a past project, but now being repurposed for a similar but different project... A) made sound and held tune B) worked, proving it at least could function as a test bed for future better parts. and this year when I replaced the wiring and some of the electronics(still stock "crappy" pickups), it sounded pretty on par to what I'd expect from something like a low end Squier... which it was not. can't even find who the manufacturer is given how they don't show up when I google them. what I'm trying to say is... IT'S NOT HARD TO FIND A GUITAR THAT DOES GUITAR THINGS PROPERLY AT CHEAP PRICES. ALSO also, I think the guitar you pretty much "rebuilt" from the ground up in the video is intended to be nylon strings like classical guitars... hence why those cracks you heard when tuning up to nowhere near where it should be. I'm sure you know this, so I'll just say it for anyone else reading, that Classical style guitars using nylons and steel stringed acoustics differ in bridge designs, mainly to combat that extra tension. classicals with their lower tension nylon strings can just be tied on properly, while steel strings are normally pined in so that the pin itself pretty much acts like those two flimsy screws it had, but spread across all the strings rather than one. it's probably sourced from a single factory and the guys retailing it, tried to pass it off as a steel stringed acoustic instead without changing anything...

YES! Thank you for this video. I am a guitar teacher and I cannot tell you how many children I've taught struggle to enjoy/properly learn and play the instrument due to the inadequate quality of their instruments! It can really cause kids to become disinterested and its not always easy to tell parents bluntly that they need to buy better equipment for their child. The amount of poorly made small-scale guitars far outnumbers the amount of adequate ones. Of course, children learning guitar do not need fancy cosmetics, or particularly "nice" materials for their instruments, but giving them one that falls short of the necessary specs is setting them up for failure and possibly resentment. For any parents looking to buy your child a beginner guitar, Yamaha makes excellent starter nylon-string guitars without breaking the bank. Trust me the initial extra cost will go exceedingly far in helping your child in the long run.

Awesome work! Really enjoyed this. One question, does it even have a truss rod to support the steel strings? Or am I mistaken in thinking that it's neccessary?

The amount of effort you put to prepare this piece of crap to be playable is nuts and I appreciate your effort. Why did they produced this anyway? Such products should be outlawed to enter the market.

Nice

And I thought my first guitar was a piece of crap? This thing made my old, rented Harmony Sovereign look and sound like a Stradivarius by comparison! You, sir, are a credit to your profession. I can only imagine the patience it took to turn that cheap toy into a working guitar. Even so, given the fact that there's no bracing around the bridge, I fear it's only a matter of time before the top starts to pull right off the body.

Nice intro! Poetic Quebec slur xp

Fascinant!❤

Fascinant ton métier !❤

Bronze is actually around 92% copper and 8% tin, not 20%. The 20% you're thinking of is 80/20, except that's 80 copper and 20 zinc, not tin, which also doesn't make bronze, it makes brass

L'argent et le bronze sont des matériaux auto lubrifiant. Ils procurent un glissement au sillets qui produisent moins d'amortissement=présence des hautes fréquence. L'or est un métal inerte qui ne peut pas corroder mais peut-être un peu plus adhérent donc possiblement plus d'amortissement et un étouffement des hautes. Par contre, elles présenteront un son plus consistent a long terme.

OU

Vraiment intéressant! Il y a tellement de choix... Et c'est la question qui revient toujours, quelles cordes choisir!? Ton explication sur les différents alliages était vraiment instructive! :)

Not a good comparison across the board. You should have used the same guage of string in each brand. Changes in tension will affect the player's ability to provide a consistent performance.

Subtiles différences. Mes favorites sont les Optima Silver, qui me semblent plus « mellow », plus chaudes, ce qui est une chose que j'apprécie. Je vais les essayer. J'utilise depuis un bon moment les Martin "Flexible Core", des 11/52, que j'aime bien-les mêmes qu'utilise ou utilisait Tommy Emmanuel, toutefois en 12/54.

Great video, thank you... I learned a lot. I think I'm going to switch back to D'Addario.

Merci pour cette vidéo Max, très enrichissant! Je suis du même avis que Jeremie; je joue avec des Elixir Phosphore Bronze depuis 10 ans et je les adores autant au niveau du son que du confort. Il serait intéressant d’entendre avec différents bois, comme du Rosewood par exemple!

Je ne suis pas certain que je serais en mesure d'identifier les différents sets dans un test à l'aveugle! Ceci étant dit, les D'Addario et les Optima Silver étaient probablement mes favorites. Je te suggère d'essayer les DR Sunbeams (12-54) qui sont mes préférées pour la richesse du son et la sensation différente qu'offre la construction "round core".

Who tf would want to hear this

Félicitations pour cette belle passion!

I’m thinking metal nut, saddle, and pins upgrade

Merd, it's French 😆 can't understand it 😭

Tres bon

Tres cool !

🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥

Good job !

Meilleur luthier en ville !

Is that a Quebec Accent?

Witchcraft at the beginning!!! & that's an absolutely stunning guitar 👌

Thanks I was thinking of buying a guitar and this is good to know
