your lead sounds are amazing. This is definitely the future of guitar. I just got done saying this in an email and then up popped your vid. I need one of these.
I just traveled with it internationally. The bag fits in the overhead bin, right over others’ carry-ons. Very convenient not having to bring much else! Plays great too. It’s a steal IMO!
Great review. Thank you. I love old school tones like the clean P90, jazz box, Nylon string, Gypsy Jazz, Resonator etc. Other instrument tones too like organs, Banjo, String etc. Can you do a review on those things please? Do you know if the app features are the same for all the gtr models?
I’ve had a student who had the strat type of GTRS model. That one had all the same Azen stuff but it had a five way switch and three pickups so the pick up modeling was a bit more extensive. I’ll see if I can get around to doing a review on the more old school tones. 👍
A small, but important correction: only the zero fret is stainless steel, all the others are regular nickel silver. And I can only hope they are at least of some better quality alloy, you never know what. The real difference of course is pretty much how each of them will hold a mirror shine fret polish.
They definitely took a couple of pants from their book… Strandberg has inspired many luthiers’ headless guitar designs. I’ve played some Strandbergs but can’t get into that unique neck design… it felt weird and restrictive for my playing. Fanned frets are easier to adjust to. 🤷♂️ Otherwise great quality instruments though!
Here’s what I found works / doesn’t work so far: - direct usb c to c cable from GTRS to iphone 15 does not work even tho most other Moore devices do support this (e.g. P1 and Hornet 05i) - using a usb-c hub with iPad Pro and connecting GTRS via usb c-to-a cable does work, but the same set up does not work with iphone 15 - I assume specific otg cables will work as shown in the video, but I no longer have any lightning devices
@@alexraykinofficialI use iOS software to enhance my guitar signal, via AUM, midi guitar 2, moog synths, etc. That all relies on a usb audio interface that works with iphone/ipad. Mooer P1 works well for that. Thanks for the review good info!
Best review I've seen on this thing (apart from the ss frets which everyone has gotten wrong anyway) Thankyou! I live in stereo world so I'll probably hold off until the software is capable. That's if my brain maintains control over my GAS glands...
My gas glands gave out a while ago. Just bought a 30” baritone… second guitar this year. (Hope my wife won’t kill me) I totally thought the frets were stainless… honestly, no one live would even notice if it’s stereo or not tbh in most cases. So this is a small gig machine at least!
Last guitar count was 50+ This year I've become the proud owner of the latest Gretsch Malcolm Young tribute based on 'The Beast' as it was during the "Long way to the Top' film clip and an ESP E-II RZK 1 a la Rammstein. My wife still talks to me and thinks I'm 'relatively cute' when the lights are out...@@alexraykinofficial
Thanks! You can’t use a microphone directly into the guitar. If you were looking for some thing that can do that, check out my review on the Enya guitar!
Wow, when I went to go try to their website today it seems like they were hacked! :O I contacted them to let them know. You can search the guitar model on Google, it’s sold in some places.
Got problem here. Any idea how to bring back the original factory setting of every bank and presets tone? It's seem like they arrange every presets tone different from the standard factory setting and I really don't use to it. For example : on 0A.tone it's shown "0A.Butter" instead of 0A.Clean.
Oh that is strange. I haven’t reset so I haven’t ran into that. I instantly made a set of presets, plus a “pass-through” preset where all the amps and effects are off so that I can use the pickup modeling before my virtual amps.
Great video! One important question: Can I directly connect the guitar to my audio interface and use the sounds, choosing them from the app, directly in my DAW? I use Ableton. A thousand thanks!
You can’t control the app from your daw and change it afterwords. It’s not “reampable” in that way. That said, it’s an ideal guitar for a minimalist live setup! I’d stick to Neural DSP and other VSTs for recording.
I came across this when I was looking for a Line 6 Variax guitar, because they had some pre-selected alternate tunings since each string is separate, and liked that you could enter two custom open tunings. Does this guitar have such an option? Is a whammy bar possible to incorporate? (With a possibility to have a sustainiac type of system it would be perfect, so maybe I'll wait a bit for future models.)
my question is how will it hold up over time. I actually kinda wish they just made a version of this without the tech gaff as its stunning. I just dont think the tech will be valid when this thing is relic age. Like if i brought one will it brick itself out of use in a few years when the app or the tech fails. Would have been very interested in it at say 50% cheaper with none of the tech and maybe a whammy.
I have been using this guitar for over 10 hours a week since April 2023 and it has held up very well… To be honest, I usually have it plugged into my interface, using neural DSP plug-ins and teaching with it since it’s so lightweight and comfortable. It plays just as good as the day I got it and the pick ups actually sound good. I keep the modeling off the only time I would use the app modeling is if I am traveling.
I don’t think it quite replaces legacy instruments but it is quite useful. I teach guitar and when I was traveling recently, I brought it with me and didn’t need any amp-just this guitar and an iPad!
I think this guitar and a few others are leading the way to standardizing having all the amp modeling and effects built into the instrument. Its something I believe will become much more common place in years to come.

Nice sounds!! I'm getting this guitar. That Andy Timmons tone was spot on!
That’s absolutely amazing and beautiful sounding guitar ❤
It’s been my daily guitar for a year and a half now!
Nice review dude!! I'm buying it.
Enjoy! You won’t be disappointed

Actually we are both off. The frets are made from a high oxidation resistant white copper. 😯 And like you said only the zero fret is stainless.
Wow. Great overview. Very interesting product.
It’s become my daily guitar!
Ever see those guys playing on cruise ships in small 3 piece bands? This would be perfect.
Exactly… The possibilities 🙌
Nice guitar ❤
Thanks. I play it every day!
Great review!! Just need them to built it in stereo and with a tremolo. That's it.
Exactly… add a 7 & 8 string version too and they can take a good chunk of the market!
It looks like it was "inspired" by Strandberg guitars -- the bridge, the multiscale frets, the "headstock" end.
They definitely took a couple of pants from their book… Strandberg has inspired many luthiers’ headless guitar designs.

The green one, finally!

Were you actually able to get USB audio interface working? 11:40
I have GTRS s800 and USB streaming doesn't work!
I’m not sure what you mean by USB streaming, but I have plugged in the guitar via USB and it was read by the computer as an input source.
Here’s what I found works / doesn’t work so far:
- direct usb c to c cable from GTRS to iphone 15 does not work even tho most other Moore devices do support this (e.g. P1 and Hornet 05i)
- using a usb-c hub with iPad Pro and connecting GTRS via usb c-to-a cable does work, but the same set up does not work with iphone 15
- I assume specific otg cables will work as shown in the video, but I no longer have any lightning devices
@matts7214 That’s interesting. What are you trying to accomplish?
@@alexraykinofficialI use iOS software to enhance my guitar signal, via AUM, midi guitar 2, moog synths, etc. That all relies on a usb audio interface that works with iphone/ipad. Mooer P1 works well for that. Thanks for the review good info!
The GTRS guitars are super cool - I hope mooer can make usb more reliable via software update
Best review I've seen on this thing (apart from the ss frets which everyone has gotten wrong anyway)

awesome guitar i wish i had the money to buy it!
i WILL QUOTE YOU!! So far tghis is the ONE i want. btw HOW DO I USE A NIC WITH IT FOR SINGING?
Thanks! You can’t use a microphone directly into the guitar. If you were looking for some thing that can do that, check out my review on the Enya guitar!
Thanks for the nice review. Just wanted to let you know that the link to “find the guitars here”seems to be broken
Wow, when I went to go try to their website today it seems like they were hacked! :O I contacted them to let them know. You can search the guitar model on Google, it’s sold in some places.
I went on my computer and the site works. They need to get that fixed up...

They don’t have those options but I look forward to future ones having them!
Hello, Does the super knob work with an regular amp?
Or does it sound bad if you use your normal amp (Clean) just as a ,,speaker"?
It sounds fine. You would just adjust some settings for that.
Can connect Bluetooth speaker?
You can, but Bluetooth has a delay, so I would connect it with a cable if possible.
my question is how will it hold up over time. I actually kinda wish they just made a version of this without the tech gaff as its stunning. I just dont think the tech will be valid when this thing is relic age. Like if i brought one will it brick itself out of use in a few years when the app or the tech fails.

@@alexraykinofficial thats v good to know. wil defo consider it in future then. thx
I got a better idea. I'll get the Mooer Prime 1 and stick it there, or carve the guitar body & install there 😁
I’m selling one brand new. Enjoy the project. 😉 offerup.co/LPmlcRsAsDb
I sanded down the forearm area.
Oh wow! Removing the finish there? I’d like to see what that looks like.
24 Jumbo frets made of nickel silver
Indeed. Thanks for the correction! It’s only the 0 fret that is stainless.
I love that guitar and I would like to buy it, but I refuse buying a guitar which don´t have whammy bar
My other guitars have whammy bars, even one of my headless. They make another guitar with these features that has a whammy bar. (Wilkinson style)
Yayayaya future guitars ppl will sill buy that gibson goldtop fake
I don’t think it quite replaces legacy instruments but it is quite useful. I teach guitar and when I was traveling recently, I brought it with me and didn’t need any amp-just this guitar and an iPad!
Is this guitar made in China?
Yes! It’s a product and company that makes us start to rethink how we view “made in China”. It’s a small innovative Chinese company.
sorry but i didn't get the joke
No joke, this tech is next level. ;)
@@alexraykinofficial but how?
I think this guitar and a few others are leading the way to standardizing having all the amp modeling and effects built into the instrument. Its something I believe will become much more common place in years to come.
@@alexraykinofficial cant wait for one day to have a 7 string multiscale true temperament standalone guitar....with SPEAKER.
