    Alex is genuinely been a pleasure to work with. I’m a full time touring hardcore bassist and we’ve collaborated on a design to suit my needs properly. The feedback has been immensely positive with me peers and I’m ordering two more models as back ups. Thank you Alex, your work is incredible!

    I ordered one of these and spoke to the CEO of the brand, Alex, one of the nicest dudes I've ever had the pleasure of speaking to. I told him I wanted to get a guitar that would suit me as I'm in a Mastodon cover band and Alex went through the process step by step with me and we ended up crafting the guitar of my dreams. The Royale is my favorite model by far. I HIGHLY reccomend this brand

    Really interesting guitars. They sound very good. I like the Empress Nero guitar. If this would have 27 or a longer scale length it would be perfect for me. Could you make a video with these guitars with the lowest tuning that still sound good? I know that they have the Jagerin 27 but the Empress Nero looks just better to me.

    • @jc7135
      @jc7135 18 днів тому

      @@txc123 I also compared it to an Epiphone.....how much are those? You can get a brand new Dunable for around $1200 shipped.....used market around 700-800. If you want the top end then sure...... you'll pay $3k. Didn't someone else in here comment that you could get one of these guitars in the video made in the USA? Which would be quite a bit more? Have you played a Dunable? And no I haven't played one of these. I've played and owned many guitars over the last 35 years. I've had mostly guitars less than $1000 new. I've had others that were more expensive.
      I had the opportunity to play a Dunable Yeti a few years back. I went to go see Intronaut at a small club in Charlotte NC and talked to Sasha before the show and told him someday I'd like to check one of his guitars out. He invited me into the back room where the rest of the band was hanging out and handed me the Yeti he was playing that night. Absolutely one of the best guitars I've ever played....imo. Workmanship was gorgeous.......my brother has 3 Mayones guitars and I'd put this right with them no problem......and the Mayones are $3000-4500. I asked Sasha how much for one like the one he let me play and said about $1400.
      So.......now that I proved you wrong what other questions do you have? Wanna talk amps too? We can do that too? My favorite amps out of ALL the amps I've played and owned over the years......Diezel Hagen(owned), Fryette Deliverance 120(owned), Laney GH50L(owned.....best sleeper amp no one pays attention to), Bogner Unerschall and XTC(played a bunch....friends owned)
      So.....perfect example....that Laney costs nowhere near those other amps and hangs with them ALL day long and you can find them for 500-600 used.
      I don't need expensive shit......I've tried and liked them and also I've found some inexpensive stuff that punches way over their pricetag. So I'm a big fan of spending less.....but not at the expense of feeling like I've settled. One of favorite guitars..... Epiphone Les Paul Custom with a Lundgren pickup in the bridge.....I'd take that over most new offerings from Gibson.
      So.....did I say these guitars were junk? Nope. Did I say don't buy one? Nope. I merely pointed out that for me as someone stumbling across this video that I would've liked to know what the company was a little earlier......I was just about to click off the video when he finally gave the company name and then ended up watching the whole video. After watching the video I gave 2 additional options that I would guess might fall into an apples to apples comparison. Anyway.....do some homework
