Epiphone Hummingbird Studio - This bird can hum!
This guitar surprised me. I didn't know what to expect, but when I first tried it I was instantly greeted with a big and lush tone. For 449 dollars you get a lot of guitar. Fit and finish is great. The setup was a little stiff, but played good enough for me to still enjoy it. I didn't set it up since it was a loaner from a store, and a string change would probably have done good things for the Hummingbird studio too. The dynamic range of the guitar is limited, so don't expect small nuances and details, and when strumming it hard it would compress fairly quickly. it's still a very responsive guitar, don't get me wrong. - and funnily enough I enjoyed fingerstyle playing more than strumming it. Overall I will recommend the Epiphone Hummingbird Studio - It's beautiful and great sounding that won't cost you an arm and a leg.

I had no clue this company existed - King Snake Guitars

Back in late 2022 I came across King Snake Guitars by coincidence on instagram. I had never heard of this brand before. I was immediately drawn to their aesthetic and beautiful guitars. Such vibey and classic 50's style Japanese handcrafted instruments. I reached out to them, to ask if they were interested in letting me check out one of their guitars in return of a free video, and here we are. ...

Yamaha FG3 - How does it sound?

I bought this guitar sight unseen, it was almost impossible to get hold of - no stock anywhere in europe, but I called the big european music company we all know, and by pure coincidence they had just got on in stock - so I ordered it immediately. It's a great guitar, but I will say at 800 euros there's a lot of competition out there, and with a pretty steep price increase since it first was re...

    A really fitting tribute. My favourite would be a vintage Gibson J45 but I'd have to be selective. If I were buying online without even trying it would be a Martin 00015 SM for pure consistency.

    I already have the E1OM and I remember when I got it I was blown away by the quality, the sound, the looks (classic), the choice of wood, the bone nut and saddle and the overall craftsmanship for a ridiculously low price. I have my Martins and my Gibsons and I’ll never get rid of them, because they’re great. But it’s so much fun to experiment with different tunings and such, like a Nashville tuned guitar, or a guitar in C standard. Now I would feel silly to buy an expensive Martin D-18 for Nashville tuning. But I can totally see me buying an Eastman E1D for that purpose. Or…. when you’re the type of person to go to weird parties and you want to take your dreadnought with you everywhere you go, this might be the way to go. And… ONLY because of the price, because if this was built in the USA you’d probably have to pay a price similar to a Martin 000-16 (Streetmaster), or a 000-17 Black Smoke. Best bang for the buck for sure! 🧡
