How to Improve Guitar Sound in 21 Days | Tonerite Before And After Review
Переглядів 4,6 тис.5 років тому
This video is a pragmatic before-and-after test of the Tonerite device on a brand new boutique guitar with solid Sitka Spruce top and solid Indian Rosewood back & sides. This is also an unsponsored Tonerite review from a legitimate customer. As of this writing, Tonerite has a holiday promo that you can take advantage of to get a $19 discount on your Tonerite purchase. You can access the promo h...
The Best $2000 Acoustic Guitar You've Never Heard Of
Переглядів 78 тис.5 років тому
This is the story of my 2-month search for the best $2000 acoustic guitar... and how it found me instead. As one of the first (lucky) owners, this is my honest review of this awesome yet relatively unknown guitar that launched at around the start of 2019, the Maestro Original Series Singa IR. I bought it at full price as soon as I heard it play in person. Not a sponsored video. Gear seen/used i...

    Nice review. Just one quibble on the pronunciation of Singa. Its Sin-ga, not Sin-nga. Like in Sin-ga-pore. X

    Notwithstanding that for the first few demos the Seagull was a little out of tune, to my ear the Seagull sounds much nicer. Specifically, the tone of the Seagull is more mellow and richer. Of couse, a Cedar top gives a different type of tone to a Spruce top, so this is not a like-for-like comparison. I should perhaps mention that I'm a piano tuner/technician of 46 years experience, and have been playing piano from early childhood, and guitar since the age of 11. Listening to the tone of instruments is what I've become expert at.

    I’ve been using the tonerite on my cello recently with very good results. You still have to practice, but it quickly starts to resonate better, with more harmonics and ‘bloom’ to the sound. I wonder should I just keep using it? The sound just gets better and better!

    The proper pronunciation for Maestro Guitars is: "MY-strow". So what is "a Maestro"?............a Maestro is a term used to label a master musician or conductor of a symphony orchestra.

    Thank You for this informative review on this brand which I did not know of... As I search for aother acoustic to complement my current quiver of 4 acoustics ( 1993 Taylor 814C, 2021 Taylor Koa 224C, 2005 Takamine EG45C, 2020 Takamine CP7MOTT ) I will definitely look up Maestro guitars..... Where I live in New England my local shop carries the brands by Alvarez, Taylor, Yamaha, Guild, Seagull, Eastman.. About 1-1/2 hour drive I can go to Music Emporium in Wellesley Mass..... Thanks for the heads up..

    My wife is from Marinduque and I just might bring one back with me when we go there to visit her folks. Good to see someone has done their homework. Hey AG please come and visit me and check out what I do to help people get started playing guitar. Anyone who knows their foundation of chords and some f-picking or strumming can gain a lot of experience while having fun. Your guitar looks and sound great, but with every guitar it always comes down to playability. The Plex setup ensures a fantastic playability and I think it makes "perfect sense" to have that guarantee your guitar is perfect when you purchase it. I love that.

    What is the point of this review if you are comparing the guitar with two sets of strings from different manufacturers? I have used Veritas strings and I didn't like them. I haven't used Santa Clara strings but they seem to get great reviews. So is it the Tonerite making the change ... or is it because you are using a better set of strings? Are the gauges of the strings even the same? For a compairson you have to compare an apple to an apple ... not an apple to a grapefruit. Btw, I paid $8 for my used Tonerite.

    This video is a great help in the search for a better guitar. As all luthiers know, there is an overtone / tuning issue with thirds in the upper range of the guitar. Can you make another video addressing this issue on both brands that you present here? Many thanks for this video.....love the channel name.

    I own several very expensive guitars and from Taylor and Martin Gibson's and Guilds but if someone ask me if I could recommend a one guitar that is exceptional a one to have and I would recommended a 2015 614ce Taylor it's one of the best sounding guitars that I've played,I also have a 2019 614ce Builder's Edition V brace it's a totally different sounding guitar but just as good there both great sounding guitars just completely different.I tried many Seagull guitars and I mean many but just couldn't find one that I fell in love with,I learned that if you play a guitar that it don't make you fall in love with it then it's not worth buying,I have to actually love a guitars sound and playability,If I play a guitar and go home and I keep thinking about that guitar then the next day I'm still thinking then this is why I have nine guitars and I'm very picky when it comes to the sound and feel and playability.

  • @markstaggs7342

    I tried every seagull guitar there was in music stores and to be honest I did not find one to really my liking,I ended up with Eight high end guitars and a mint condition Martin D-28 1980 year, people might try to say seagull guitar are as good or better than a Taylor or a Martin but I definitely proved that wrong to myself and I'll say it loud and clear it's a flat out lie.And in saying it because I proved it . Taylor guitars are expensive but are the best out there that's why I own eight Taylor guitars.
