Sa mga worried sa Logo and Decal, RJ Philippine Standard Guitars here are from 2017 pa, when the factory was still operating. Kaya kumpleto pa ng Decals. Well, should the 2024 models be more minimalistic?
Hard Yes!!! The Shredding Man Logo and the BIG RJ logo was used from way back when RJ is considered as a budget Beginner Guitar. Now that RJ is expanding its lineup to a more of a mid range to high end set of quality guitars, the logo needs to upgrade as well. Parang mga bespoke na guitars. Less is more. No more logos sa body please. Sayang quality and craftsmanship ng guitar. Kahit yung Signature nalang ni Sir Jacinto sa headstock okay na.
grabe yung improvement ng rj guitar. before ang low quality just to meet the demands for filipino buyers. but now. damn ang gaganda. nakakainspire tumugtog ulit
support will come as long as they keep this up, iba na RJ ngayon, nung maliit ako, o karamihan naman satin, marinig nilang RJ gitara mo parang pagtatawanan ka nila, ngayon respected na sya kahit ako bumili recently ng gigline broadcaster and I love it. 2023 was a great year for not just RJ, pero other local brands as well. D&D, jcraft, clifton, and ligaya. For 2024 I hope to see clifton, jcraft, and D&D lightfoot update yung specs nila for their entry level guitars nila para tapatan nila yung RJ and LGY sa entry level category.
Ang saya ko sa success ng channel mo sir PAX, pinaka substantial content when it comes to music intruments/gears etc sa Pinas. More success sa PAX channel.
I tried last year the tonemaster, vibecaster and bluesbreaker, and ang nag stand out saken is tonemaster talaga, napaka versatile, andun na lahat ng tone na need nyo, well!? almost! buti pumayag si Rj na ma test ko yung tonemaster eventhough it's already sold and just waiting to be shipped hehehe! Kaya sabi ko next year pag meron ulit for sure kukuha ako nito! and Yes, I have it now with the new gold quilted whale 144/300 and parang mas nag upgrade pa yung feature nya compare last year.
Thanks to RJ Guitars for making such world class quality guitars and making it affordable to Filipinos, Thank you as well to PAX for having it reviewed with such detailed explanation with data. KUDOS
100k Subscribers? Wow! ang bilis ng growth ng channel na to simula nung napanuod ko first episode. Ganda kasi ng content dami ka matutunan. Dapat paabutin natin ng 1million to... Congrats sir Pax
Grabe talaga yung Rj sana may ilabas sila next year naa Sentinel yun ang hinahantay ko shet yun lang po Merry Christmas and happy new year sayo kuya PAX and Rj guitar center!!!
Ganda ng video quality at content lods. 👏 Suggest ko pala next time, baka pwedeng i-try 'yung different settings ng tone at volume knobs next time na magte-test. Kakabili ko lang ng Bluesbreak na P90s, iba-iba rin 'yung na-discover kong tunog habang pinaglalaruan 'yung knobs. :D
Very excited! Dream RJ guitar Stainless Steel frets, SSH pickup configuration with splitting knob and sprayed in clear or coloured lacquer / nitrocellulose then I'm very sure dami po bibili from pinas!
Good to see lumalaban na ang RJ guitars sa ibang brands lalo sa budget tier category.. yung philippine series na rj wala pa ako headphones na gamit ang output halos dikit na yung sound quality sa traditional strat at tele... nice review sir 🙌🙌
Congrats to RJ Guitars, awesome updates. Dati auto-snob na sakin ung RJ dahil s quality (mura pero murang quality), pero ngayon parang gusto ko na magpalit ng RJ, mura, or very competitive price with very competitive specs. Thank you sir Pax for covering this, super informative at dahil dyan, bumabalik ung GAS ko hahahah
I have a 91 RJ 60s Strat, it's my first guitar, and ka-age ko yung guitar haha it was my dad's gift, and I still have it, it needs some setup, but the guitar is still alive hehe (btw, I think it's made in Korea, not sure, but the quality is topnotch for it's age)
literal goosebumbs nun biglang nilabas ni Pax ung SG model ng RJ. Grabe! I'm very excited to get another guitar next year and this time RJ guitars is one of my top choices!
2022 to 2023 is a year of epicness pagdating sa mga Guitars. Andaming BRAND na nagsilabasan na budget meal dito sa Pinas for the past years. Pero grabi ang RJ. LATE GAMER ang RJ GUITARS at sa huli, sila lang din namayagpag!! Hoping for a better 2024 para makabili at makumpleto! Haha! Merry Christmas PAX! Merry Christmas everyone!
I was pondering on buying a fender strat then i saw the gigline SE and caught me with the split coil and stainless frets and alnicos. I love it! I bought it and the sound is incredible! Hopefully if they will reopen here in the Philippines,i hope they will maintain the quality
first guitar was a strat model na rj. wala pa masyado alam sa guitars nung time na yun and nung nakapag explore na ko, di ko na binalikan ang rj. if it wasn't for the video u posted na gigli e review, di pa ko ulit papasok sa rj store. they had a lot of improvements and matic, sila na ang magiging go to ko. pero hopefully tanggalin na ang logo sa body ng guitar kasi mej hindi pleasing aesthetically lol.
ok lang yung logo bilog na RJ pero ilagay na lang sana nila sa neckplate, kahit naka machine engrave na lang at hindi na steel press para hindi maka dagdag sa cost. Pag walang neck plate, pwede dun na lang sa electronincs cover sa likod tapos either naka laser engrave or heat press.
mas prominent yung highs ng rj. yung fender sounded warmer to me but i think pantay kasi sila ng warmth it's just that mas mataas talaga highs ng rj. nagmumura yung highs ng rj sa foxxy lady e
tama, need lang talaga ng supporta ng mga luthier nating local, kasi kayang kaya natin, may weird bad image lang yung mga local made kesyo hindi imported pangit na, i say andami nang meticulous gumawa dito ng gitara, need lang talaga ng more support :D
I just bought the RJ Skycaster Philippine Standard. Sinwerte ako kasi walang pumapansin non sa RJ sa SM North nung 50% off na. Buti nalang napanood ko to before kaya nung nakita ko yun, kinuha ko na agad. Naubusan kasi ako ng Bluesbreaker Deluxe. 😂
Yung RJ Philippine Standard series, parang Super Vintage na pinaghiwa-hiwalay, ano? Haha. Buti na lang, kakarating lang ni 13th Month Pay; marked safe sa RJ sale. 😅 Hopefully, may matira pa para rito. Also agree with one comment here. Sana mas maging minimalistic yung logo this 2024.
Hey Pax! My father has the same birthday of RAJ. Like him, he loves surf music especially Ventures and Shadows, just asking, when will RJ reissue RJ Mustang, Jazzmaster, RJ Ventures amd RJ Rokker (my first guitar)??
Sa mga worried sa Logo and Decal,
RJ Philippine Standard Guitars here are from 2017 pa, when the factory was still operating. Kaya kumpleto pa ng Decals.
Well, should the 2024 models be more minimalistic?
Done to subscribe.. And to ur page also tnx u sana mapili
Sir PAX gawa ka naman tutorial ng hybrid rig. Yung multi effects na may analog pedal ty.

Hi sir pax, what month po kaya mag open factory nila ngayon 2024?
May new version ba yung mga Basic line nila this 2024? Kung meron hintayin ko nalang kaya? Baka may madagdag pa sa budget.
apart from rj, we will also consider and thanks pax for demoing rj's guitar that we made ourselves.proud to be pinoy..solid long live PAX lods 💪
Sir use the new logo for the 2024 models, sa headstock lang para neat yung guitar
PAKISABI, Wag nang gamitin yung DATI NA LOGO na nandyan... YUNG LOGO na lang na PIRMA ang ILAGAY, HUWAG SANA YUNG CIRCLE NA MAY RJ... 🙏
Agree
agree
headstock nalang talaga 😀
Yung logo jusko.
Yung logo na nasa headstock nasa body pa.
Agree ako sa logo na pirma na lang much classy.
Agree it makes the guitar weird and cheap

while watching sir Pax mas nagiging eager ako to learn playing an electric guitar, sana magkasya yun makukuha ko sa pasko pambili😂
first guitar was a strat model na rj. wala pa masyado alam sa guitars nung time na yun and nung nakapag explore na ko, di ko na binalikan ang rj. if it wasn't for the video u posted na gigli e review, di pa ko ulit papasok sa rj store. they had a lot of improvements and matic, sila na ang magiging go to ko. pero hopefully tanggalin na ang logo sa body ng guitar kasi mej hindi pleasing aesthetically lol.
its out lezz go
ok lang yung logo bilog na RJ pero ilagay na lang sana nila sa neckplate, kahit naka machine engrave na lang at hindi na steel press para hindi maka dagdag sa cost. Pag walang neck plate, pwede dun na lang sa electronincs cover sa likod tapos either naka laser engrave or heat press.
RJ GIGLINE for me!
sir Pax, new here 😅 do you have video regarding Alnico vs Ceramic pickups? di ko alam ano pipiliin ko e 😅 Thank you!
really impressed by the ph standard models! felt significantly more resonant than the fenders there
No ragrets ako sa gigline na ceramic ganda ng tunog ang clean
mas prominent yung highs ng rj. yung fender sounded warmer to me but i think pantay kasi sila ng warmth it's just that mas mataas talaga highs ng rj. nagmumura yung highs ng rj sa foxxy lady e
How is the neck on the RJ Standard Strat? Thin or thicker.
Kuya Pax ano po magandang set up tone para sa Crunch sound?
Kailangan ni RJ ng bagong logo. Sana makinig sya sa mga customers
tama, need lang talaga ng supporta ng mga luthier nating local, kasi kayang kaya natin, may weird bad image lang yung mga local made kesyo hindi imported pangit na, i say andami nang meticulous gumawa dito ng gitara, need lang talaga ng more support :D
I just bought the RJ Skycaster Philippine Standard. Sinwerte ako kasi walang pumapansin non sa RJ sa SM North nung 50% off na. Buti nalang napanood ko to before kaya nung nakita ko yun, kinuha ko na agad. Naubusan kasi ako ng Bluesbreaker Deluxe. 😂
Sir Pax may info ka po sa Vanguard nila?
Sir pwede ho ba mag top ten best guitar na nareview nyo like smiger, RJ, luxars etc....
surprisingly walang bias, mas bet ko tunog ng philippine standard haha
🤘🤘🤘
Yung logo at headstock style ang need nila iworkout pa. As a brand, dapat consistent sila dun
How about your top 5 local guitars?
Kuya Pax, pa-review po ng SQOE Mavey Stratocaster!
Yung RJ Philippine Standard series, parang Super Vintage na pinaghiwa-hiwalay, ano? Haha.
Buti na lang, kakarating lang ni 13th Month Pay; marked safe sa RJ sale. 😅 Hopefully, may matira pa para rito.
Also agree with one comment here. Sana mas maging minimalistic yung logo this 2024.
I think if I’ll buy a locally made guitar, that would be RJ!
RJ Sentinel vs. Gibson SG Standard po na episode pls.. 🙏
Hey Pax! My father has the same birthday of RAJ. Like him, he loves surf music especially Ventures and Shadows, just asking, when will RJ reissue RJ Mustang, Jazzmaster, RJ Ventures amd RJ Rokker (my first guitar)??
Magiging available parin kaya sa market ang Tonemaster nila ngayong 2024? Lagi na kasing sold out yung Deluxe Plus SE 😢
sir pax kelan kaya ilalabas ang mga to????
Broadcaster 🔥
