Looking for a baritone in B for some desert blues stoner rock dirtyness. This is on my watch list for sure hehe

It’s a baritone. The scale is (26-)28”, not 30” for a Bass VI. I can change strings and down tune my guitars to be tuned in these styles but doesn’t make them anything more than the standard guitar with additional steps. Same way we can soup up cars with bigger engines to increase HP and match the torque of a lorry but it still won’t be a lorry and haul trailers.

Thorough review and some very nice playing! Would you mind telling me what you're plugging into?

It’s basically a Pawnshop Mustang with Jaguar switching, great combo.

Alvarez are so under rated. You make it sing, I Love it!

Greetings from Atascadero CA... Great retro looking guitar and super cool sounds. i do have a question when you say "semi-acoustic" are you meaning semi-hollow or am I missing something.. I love your channel and your guitar playing.. I do hope all is well and I look forward to more content on your channel... Take care and God bless. Craig

Years ago I had a 1956 Gibson ES 125, which this guitar is clearly based on. It played like a dream. Then for a while I switched from Jazz to Rockabilly, selling the ES 125 to get a 1961 Gretsch Double Anniversary (which I still have). But I always missed that ES 125 and regretted selling it. Having gotten into Jazz again recently, I decided to get one of these - the non cutaway, single pick up version - as the average price of 3000 pounds for an ES 125 is now beyond my price range. Best decision I made. This guitar is like the return of an old friend. It does exactly what that old 125 did back then, and looks as cool. My 'test' piece for this guitar in the shop was the Barney Kessel intro to 'Cry Me A River'. The sound and tone was all there! I no longer mourn the sale of my old ES 125, and cannot recommend this guitar enough.

Thanks for keeping the MUSIC flowing - lovely caring playing.

The Godin "ES-175 "taken to the Moon. Pierre should be Prime Minister of Canada.

Very Nice! Your playing here reminded me a little of John Cipollina (Quicksilver Messenger Service). How close sonically would you say these pickups are to ones found on Fender Jazzmasters?

Goodness man. You literally melted my brain with that goodness. My wife is trying to get me back together.

Beautiful playing!!!!

Excellent review! Just as I like - lots of playing, not so much talking.

Thanks Ben, an interesting guitar! Tremendous tonality. Wishing you all the best for 2025.

This is my favorite guitar. The first one ever given to me was by my uncle, a 1997 dreadnought that still sorta works, it was the first guitar my grandmother ever bought him, before he was even a teenager. These guitars really do carry memories in my opinion, I almost feel it's easier to play than other guitars.

Sounds tinny like a cheap Harmony acoustic to my ears with little to no resonance and no harmonic overtones that i can hear. There may be a reason no one uses cherry laminate as a tone wood. I dunno. Not my thing.

Short scale. Pass. I love the 25.5" scale. I don't even have big hands.

Its really nice instrument - today I had one in my hands and immediately felt connected - really a soft touch yet powerful - can be very subtle and in few moments changes into growling beast - at present my number 1 on my guitar wishlist :) - thank you for your very enjoyable review - it was a pleasure to observe how you had connected with it :)

That guitar sounds fantastic, Mind it does help when the player is good.🙃🙃😊

Very cool video. Does this guitar neck dive when standing up with a strap?

Thanks for the demo. Definitely adding this one to my list. I already own 5 Vintages. Looks like that will be 8 soon between this, the Surfmaster 90 and the Integra

nice outro jam

what were you playing through? sounds excellent.

I’ve been looking at more expensive surf style guitars but they are to well built and lack that that vibe of the guitars JUST THINKING I PRO SHOP MAYBE

Beautiful guitar perfect for the surf stuff it’s got that sound reminds me of my first guitar I ever got so much fun it was lovely playing it’s making you smile that’s great it’s not the cost but the vibe it gives you inspiration of the guitar spaghetti western

That's has real character both in looks and sound. Another brilliant bit of design from Alan.

great demo, another interesting design from the revo range.

Interesting guitar, for many reasons. You seemed to genuinely enjoy playing it! Those pup's sound killer, love the quack sound when you pulled in the middle on the bridge.

Alan This sound remember me to Duane "Twang" Eddy.Greetings.Riccardo

Nice!!! Good notes from your guitar.I'm playing guitar again Thanks so much.Merry Christmas for you.Cheers.Riccardo

Is this body the same size about like a j45

cheeky little shuffle stick - very nice

Didn't know what to expect price wise.....just followed the link, now then! I like that price. Fantastic slide at the end there.

I’m digging that!

Great vid, after 12:44 was viceral! Also, occurred to me that there seems to be a lack of 6-string banjo videos on YT, and none with overdrive, seeing as you are good with those finger picks...!!?!

Anybody know what the nut width is? That’s kinda important, I think.

Un format OM intéressant. Le rapport qualité prix a l'air bien !

I would recommend that you try perhaps the most famous Canadian acoustic guitar, the Seagull S6 Original. It has a cedar top which gives it a much warmer tone than spruce. The back and sides are made of the same Canadian Wild Cherry that is used for the Fifth Avenue. There are countless reviews of this guitar actoss YT and I do believe that you would be most interested. I have played one myself and it is pure majesty. The Godin Metropolis Classic costs about $1,100CAD while the S6 Original can be had for about $800CAD. I would say that the tone of the Seagull S6 Original is superior to that of the Godin Metropolis Classic, of course, that is only my opinon and you may disagree. Regardless, Seagull is a Godin brand and the guitars would likely be made in the same factory as the Godin Metropolis Classic (along with Simon & Patrick, Norman and also Art & Lutherie Guitars) so you can expect the same quality of components and Godin's high-level of manufacturing skill and finishing. I know for a fact that the Seagull S6 Original can be purchased in the UK and is THE quintessential Canadian acoustic guitar. Cheers!

Very nice demonstration Ben! Your playing is superb and you really bring out that guitar's voice. Absolutely top-notch! It does make me wonder though... Why doesn't Anderton's carry Godin or Seagull guitars? You can see for yourself how amazing that they are. I just find it surprising since major vendors in North America like Long & McQuade, Guitar Center and Sweetwater all carry Godin and Seagull. It would seem that the UK is missing out on a great line of instruments from the Commonwealth. Sad, really.

Great opening piece Ben. Could you give me an idea of he chords used please so I could give it a go? Cheers.

Does this fit in a regular gigbag/case ?

Way better video than the "official" demo of this guitar...

What a vibe! Could get lost in that.

I've just shared this video with my son.....he will want one of these !!!!!!!! What a great guitar

You brought some groove! Easy to see you're having a blast with this. It records really well with the round wound strings and that bass roll off. Would it soften the attack too much with flat wounds?

Thanks for explaining the bass vi vs baritone setup! I’d been looking at this one on a couple of sites and couldn’t figure out which it was 😅

Sounds killer! Do you think smaller Baritone strings would fit, or the nut would need to be replaced?

That was fun! cool whip.. Toasters?

Great work Ben and have to say you really got the best out of an interesting guitar

Bert Jansch and John Renbourn come to mind. Pentangle.
