    Sadly these are $1200 aud - that's a lot of money here and used to be the average price for southe Korean guitars (not comparing quality but labour markets). I don't know if it's just currency or if there are extra taxes and shipping built-in to the au price, but 5-6 years ago this series (AM AS AG AK AF 90s and AR 300-400s) were half the price (I got añ AR325 for $550 and AG95s were closer $650 AUD). I just wish they still were under $1000 AUD. Great guitars no question, but coming from the supposed cheapest labour market for same or similar models I wonder what changed in 5years to literally double the price at least here in AU.

  • @Robert-Peterson
    @Robert-Peterson 3 роки тому +1

    Mr.Pauly...a general question to you regarding a perception of "quality" with regards to electric guitars: Why is it that the more pieces of wood a guitar's BODY is made of means "lower quality" while at the same time the more pieces of wood a guitar's NECK is made of means "higher quality"?? Am I misunderstanding you - and pretty much anyone else who reviews guitars - in that "more is less" for guitar bodies and "more is more" for guitar necks?
    I've never understood this approach. I've seen countless guitar manufacturers brag about 7, 8, 9 or 11 piece guitar necks while most reviewers seem to frown upon any guitar body made of 3 or more pieces of wood. Why is this?

    • @EytschPi42
      @EytschPi42  3 роки тому +2

      more pieces in the neck can give you stability and it’s done for tonal reasons, not so save money.
      A three or four piece body is only done because they used smaller pieces of wood which are cheaper and probably scrap wood from other factories (furniture). Glue can stop vibration and slow sustain, so you try to avoid using more glue and that means less body parts... but if it’s done correctly it shouldn’t be a problem.
      But more different pieces can also mean pieces with different resonances that might go against each other.
      A two piece body from the same piece of wood should have a rather equal resonance for both pieces.
      At least that’s the theory.. but many guitars I tested with three piece bodies sound great, so who knows.

    How flexible is it. I have a Casino coupe. Nice guitar but, unlike a 335 semi, you can bend it a bit to get vibrato at the expense of stability.
    Also, I know this is utterly unfair but how does it compare to an Eastman Romeo? Thanks
