SOLI DEO GLORIA!
I find myself constantly surprised on how far "budget friendly" guitars have come. What a time to play guitar..
This is an AMAZING time to be a guitar player.
Other than name and heritage, im finding it very hard to justify buying stuff from the big brands.
I've owned cheap guitars my whole life a besides a jack or pu switch, they've stayed intact. ha, Arbor 'woodstock' strato hasn't needed anything (go to for Trower and such).
Like Fifth Angel said "Time Will Tell".
Well I picked up a Silvertone Strat-style earlier. I guess I'll see what I paid for within a week. 🤞 Hoping its as good as some of the other budget guitars I've seen. If not, I can, always make it good 😁
Amen. Cheap guitars were horrific when I was a kid.
Man, he always looks so friendly. Every time i click on a video he just appears lookin like bob ross if he was a guitar player. Idk if its just me....
There are no wrong notes, only happy accidents.
I feel like I am in kindergarten class when I visit this channel.
He might have been a kindergarten teacher prior to his UA-cam career.
...''There are no mistakes...it's your world...''
No he’s so genuine I’ll always tune in
He's Canadian that's why
I like this guy for being positive and realistic. Great guitar for hobbyists, which most of us are.
Even if you're a pro but perfect comment. Hard to become a pro if you can't afford an instrument. These less expensive instruments really help a lot of people.
The most generic comment ever written
In the 90s as a younger kid who loved music stores, seeing a guitar that looked like this was never under $1,000.00.
Darrel, you are seriously giving a brand reputation to Indio brand.
I agree! And I'm sure Indio notices!!
Great looking Guitar yes as you say the cheap end does have some flaws but they are getting so much better Great Videos always, keep them coming 😎
They probably do because the 100 dollar strat went to 200 dollars after his video was made
@@arinovick3899 or unavailable.
@@mboyer68 ...certainly they pay him.
I'll never understand why anyone would dislike a video like this... much less 113 people??? wtf? what isn't to like? This guy is great.

Jealousy!
Gear snobs. There's so many of them.

I love how you don't artificially overreact to everything like "WOOOOOOW!" or "OMFG!" etc and take it cooler, this makes your channel much more pleasant to watch. The overreacting thing with people losing their minds over simple stuff is a terrible trend these days and i hope it will die off with the rise of quality content like yours. Thanks for the good work mate, awesome material as usual 👍
OMG! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! COULDN’T BE MORE ACCURATE!
Lol the caps was a joke you’re correct though.
More palatable that way keeps the heart rate the same I feel like overreaction culture is for kids who like getting excited lol
*losing
Very tasteful vids and very helpful... Keep up the good work
haha..you say people are overreacting and loosing their minds ??? I think you are overreacting with much exaggeration by saying that. people are not loosing their minds...which is impossible. They are just excited..But let me say that apparently you have a pet peve with people that say certain things that irritate you, ok we are all different but you must realize that everyone is not like you and not like me. Certain Things irritate lots of people but they don't make a big Fuss about it.
For those wondering, they changed the font logo and it looks much better on their newer guitars
Can we just appreciate how amazing of a UA-cam Darrell is. He puts out interesting, entertaining and straight to the point videos. Every video of his is amazing and he deserves so many more subs. Great job Darrell👍
Thanks so much SR!
Totally agree!!
Time for a new avatar.
I like his vids and playing, but 'straight to the point ?' Hardly. I don't know why, like so many UA-camrs, he has to tell us what he is going to do just before he does it.
@@thegusk520
How does it make sense not to??
I am really not surprised how good that guitar sounds. They really nailed that tone with those pickups. No telling how their made. I played one of their strats and it sounded virtually indistinguishable from a real Fender American Deluxe through a Twin Reverb...
I'd cover the "In" on the Indio logo to make it a DIO guitar
A little chunk of gaff tape fixes that. :)
@@willjamiesonstudio6272 flex tape*
RIP Ronnie
you will experience a holy neck dive
KONO DIO DA!!!
I have no interest in 335 guitars and yet here I am. Your videos are just so watchable and... reasonable. You're right about unboxing too!
When I was a kid years ago we would have loved to have a guitar like this for that price. As an adult I would love to have a guitar like this for that price. A little TLC would take this a long way.

An endoscope inspection camera costs about $35 (Amazon). They are small enough to go in the F holes.
Most will hook up wirelessly to any device.
The can also be found with LED lights mounted near the camera for use in small dark areas.
Just thought you would like to know because I think it would be a lot easier than the mirror. Plus you can record the endoscope and edit the footage in your videos.
The guitar for the money is a steal for a beginner.
What is the light behind your guitar wall ?(if my english is bad it because I’m from Québec)
Just curious how much you paid for customs getting that shipped from California? I'm really considering buying one of these Indio's but I don't want to pay another $100 for customs...
My Monoprice California Classic (Strat Clone) is one of the best copies I've seen in person :) Indio is their follow up series.
I would like to add my thanks to Darrell Braun guitars for these great videos. I have watched a number of them, and find them to be very informative, and very pleasantly constructed. Thanks very much for the effort you have put into this. Great job!
Vow! Every guitarist should have strato, tele and 335.
Basic tools you cant go wrong.
Thanks, Darrell, for these "unboxing" videos. I appreciate your consistency in presentation - makes for easy comparison. You clearly demonstrate that you are an authority on this subject. I am primarily a song writer in the CCM genre, not a regularly performing musician, so an expensive guitar has never made sense to me. Your tips and demos have helped me immensely to improve the inexpensive guitars I have, and given me valuable advice to consider about buying another guitar. For me - and I am sure you know what I am talking about - a new instrument is a source of inspiration for new sounds and new songs.
Wish the quality of guitars was like this when I was younger, my very first electric guitar was a Columbus plank of banana wood and sounded like a bag of crap
Exactly! My bandmate got a grey Columbus Semi (335, I suppose) and it fell over at our second rehearsal. Headstock was left lying loose on the floor, and the wood looked like balsa or matchwood. Goodbye!
@@Ndlanding ahhh the good old days.........
in '74, minimum wage was $2/hr. My first bass cost me $40, used. It was short scale and had a particle board body that I spray painted every color of paint that my dad had. The neck was made of about 15 thin pieces of wood laminated together. Thankfully, I was finished with the painting phase of life when I started to get P-basses and a 4001. Has anyone put together one of those kit guitars???. I'm curious.
Columbus oh the memories... my first guitar was a Columbus Jazz bass. The neck was shaped like a banana. It was really hard to play, no one told me it was crap I just thought guitars were hard to play. Put me off for 25 years.
The real amazing things are the amps. Most experienced players know that you can make almost any $50 pawn shop guitar sound and play fine with an hour or two of work. The real sound comes from the amp. And there was nothing, I mean NOTHING like a $200 Boss Katana when we were kids. Nothing even remotely close.
Great work, as always, DB. I’m guilty of this myself, but sometimes we need to look past the name on the headstock and realize that there are several ‘affordable’ options out there. “More expensive” doesn’t always means “better”. If you like the way it sounds and the way it plays, that’s all that matters. The Big brands don’t want you to know that. Keep rocking, Amigo!!
Some other You Tube hosts pretend to review guitars, but they are really trying to sell them. Darrell's reviews are honest. I would feel confident to buy a guitar he gives a good review to.
Man looking at the vids you've done on the indios so far. They seem to be, for their price, pretty close to amazing.
Would love to see this company grow and start just increasing the quality here and there. Would be great to be witnessing the budget days now of a company that could be a big name when my kids are my age. Crazy to think
I'm convinced that between your skill and that amp, you could make a broomstick with one string and a piezo electric pickup sound good!
Justin Johnson: "Hold my beer."
So grateful I cane across your channel. The best so far. Keep keeping it simple. Thank you once again
Great review, I really appreciate your precision. I'm blown away, I think the pickups sound better than the stock ones in my Gretsch did. Thanks, man!
It's so beautiful man. The colour it's just amazing.
Wow .... that was an incredibly well done demo! The playing was superb and there was some Gilmour vibe in there!
this is good, quality content that's informative, useful, and gets straight to the point. Keep up the good work!
With free or A grade maple and parts scrounged from around the shop - I'd have a tough time building that for $400 with no labor costs. Thats's pretty amazing.
I thought it looked great, and sounded even better. The logo is HORRIBLE.
I agree, pretty much completely...except that the logo would be the last thing I would worry about.
Ya for $250 VERY pretty guitar, I'm familiar with painting cars etc... So I would instantly sand it down n paint over that headstock
Yup, typical for cheaper brands of instruments and audio equipment to put on a large logo.
Especially when they try to look higher end.
I don't care too much for the fret inlay on the first fret either. It sort of looks dumb sitting there.
@@stevegutierrez8679
Don't waste any paint. Just a little bit of masking tape would look better than the logo...!!!
The EXTREEEEME font on the Indio logo reminds me of the short-lived Fender "STRAT" from the 80's...you know the one.
I had one of them.
Keith Ferris 😟
You mean the one they brought back for namm this year lol 😂
I remember the Squier 'Strat' but that was the 90s; it was the first one they made in China but reviewers said get the Korean one if you could afford it. (Never had one.)
I have one! Heavy Metal Strat. Someday, it will be super collectible.
Nice review, Darrell. Oh, and what sweet chops, man! I could listen to you play for hours. Bravo!
I'm so glad I discovered your channel. I absolutely love your videos. Thank you.
Nice review Darrell, as usual. I only just noticed your sign off , "SOLI DEO GLORIA!" Amen to that!
Was NOT expecting it to look that nice. 😍
That headstock shape is half Gibson and half Epiphone!
Solid review. I like the whole "going through it with a fine comb"-thing. Keep it up!
The less expensive options keep the big guys on their toes- well done.
indeed
How? Because the finish looks nice? What about the build quality, wood used, and the many parts used to make it work? Are they also just cheap knockoffs too? No, American made interment companies aren’t afraid of these cheap knockoffs as they know these things will always be worthless the moment someone buys one! No matter how well you think it’s put together the fact remains this thing is a Chinese mass production slave labor guitar and it’ll never be a prized possession of any collection!
I'm just blown away at the nice, inexpensive guitars available today. People starting out don't have to pay a fortune to play something decent!👍😎🎸🎶
I wound up getting a d'angelico DC boardwalk, partially based on your demo. I love it!
One of the nicest guys in the business right there!
Thanks Darrell!
Love your videos, playing, and positive attitude. Something to take in consideration about those fret ends before dressing, i would recommend humidifying for 24 hours first. Many imports are made in high humidity climates, and often in travel or storage, a lack of humidity can cause the untreated fretboard wood to shrink very slightly. Sometimes just a day in a humidified room is all it needs. It’s not 100%, but i’ve seen it happen. Cheers and keep up the great work.
I bought a similar priced "Grote" 335 style guitar and am quite impressed with the quality (flamed maple with purple dye and gold hardware). I added a Duesenberg gold flat arm tailpiece to the existing studs and "wow" what a performer! The fretwork was spot on and the finish was perfect. A great value.
Hey sir do you have a link to buy it?
@@ivandel7788 Just go to Amazon and enter Grote 335 style. I recommend the purple and gold finish version. If you want the Duesenberg gold flat arm tailpiece you will have to buy it separately from France (through Ebay) It takes about a month to receive it and costs $115.00, but is well worth it if you like using a Bigsby style tailpiece. And it looks great without any modifications to the guitar.
Darrell taking it for the team as always
Just back to watch your channel once again after you left the previous studio..
Both presentation and language usege are alway superb.
Nice touch with the rotating view of the guitar.
Thanks for another Honest Review ! It is a beautiful one,sounds good too.
We should come up with some type of code so the company's won't jack up the prices after seeing these videos haha
@Spike Elwood Wow you took that joke really hard. Therapy might even be needed.
I got a Wolf, in fact, I bought another after playing the first, CNC tech is a game changer.
Looking forward to your video on a Line 6 Pod Go.
Always AMAZED and excited with your videos!!! Thank You!
Thanks for the review. It really amazes me how much quality and sound you get for "low end" money these days. Firefly, Orangewood, Indio etc. give damn good bang for the buck. If I got this Indo in my Christmas stocking I wouldn't turn up my nose at it for sure. And Darrell, I'd take your amp setup in a heartbeat as well. All the best to you. 😎🎸
It's 9am in my place, saw the notification you uploaded a 335 video. It's a great day already! :)
A lot more guitar for the $200 than was available back in the 80's when I got my first electric. It's not a Gibson, but it's a very nice tone for the money. Nicely surprised.
I personally like your honest reviews of what’s purchased before you . Inexpensive guitars affordable leaves the buyer room for upgrades on pickups and such awesome review like the choice of music played . Thanks
Very impressed. I've played about 55 yrs. had lots of cheap guitars some great some not so bad, always like the 335. I'm seriously thinking of getting one of these. Great review.
looks like a great budget starting platform for some upgrades... and sanding off the headstock logo and painting it straight black..lol
Another marvel of modern instrument technology at remarkably cheap price.
Man that’s an amazing looking guitar and sounds really great ! Thanks for sharing !
Very nice, the consistency of the broad surfaces is surprisingly good too
Just spray the headstock with some clear lacquer with a drop or two of black tint to tone down the logo, will look far better in a greyish color scale
Really love the videos! I think it would be nice to also see some clips with afforable amps that would be more likely for someone starting out or on a budget that would most likely be using this range of guitar would have. Keep up the quality content!!
I don't know about your area, but in OKC, there are tons of bargains on Craigslist. Good luck. dgt
Darrell Braun honestly for my love of music , you are the most knowledgeable and interesting musician I've watched on UA-cam . I started when I was 5 . My great grandfather who played 7 Instruments Taught me How to play The harpsichord 1st . Then I started playing the acoustic guitar . I got my dads 59 Les Paul . I can only play Gibsons ,but Listening to you play various guitars I just went out and bought a super strat with EMGS and Floyd rose Bridge This thing sounds amazing. And if it wasn't for your show I wouldn't have ever tried playing anything but Gibson Thanks for all your videos You're very intelligent that's What I like about Hearing you speak and watching you play the The lesser expensive guitars Thanks And Take care .
Hi,
I just had my fourth electric guitar lesson yesterday and i'm OBSESSED with my baby blue mitchle guitar LOVE my guitar lessons
Got myself one of these on your recommendation. Cleaned it up a bit gave the frets a polish. A nice cheap guitar. Sure the headstock logo isn’t great but it plays fine. 👍
I love the aesthetic of the guitar as well. This is kind of proof of concept that perhaps we are truly paying too much for some of our gear. I realize that a guitar like this could use a bit of TLC to top off the quality (fret polish etc) but I've purchased Gibson's and fender USA that needed something as well. If a kid needs a guitar cheep and there is someone (like you or me) that can put an hour or so into it, these guitars are a great value.
I ended up getting their Tele clone and the sunburst is amazing. Much more red than Fender tends to use, and it just makes the body beautiful. No idea what Fender's excuse to that would be.
Chose a guitar that suits your pocket .. high end guitars will always cost more .. but the higher you go the returns on your dollar diminish
I agree! I am shocked how good the budget basement guitars have become. This is a great looking and playing hollow body. I would not be ashamed to play something like that out any day of the week. God bless and rock on 😎🎸👍
This is a great moment in your life.
You have just realized that Paul from PRS is a shyster.
If you like the feel of plastic and something which is as organic as your blowup doll, then this is heaven for you.
@@zacharyhandcraftedguitars Waiting with popcorn😁
Wow, it looks amazing. My friend ordered a Chinese 335 and was floored at the quality woodwork. The fretwork wasn't too bad. There was nothing a little touch-up didn't solve. The pickups weren't potted, but it didn't entirely suck. Was it worth the $300.? Absolutely. He had a set of Seymore Duncan pickups in a drawer and he installed new pots....and Gotoh tuners. Now, Bing, Bang, Boom!!! It's his #1 Gig guitar.
And it sounds out blues like John Lee was on his shoulder!!
I have been waiting for you to review this guitar. I stumbled upon your review of the Monoprice 15w tube amp and Strat clone. When I went to their website to buy the amp they had this. I had been looking for 335 style with a set neck to replace my Washburn Delta Blues bolt on neck. No reviews were available but based on your reviews of their other products I took a chance. Very happy I did! Thanks for confirming my experience and all you do for us "budget" guys. Now to transfer my PRS #7's from the Washburn...:)
The logo looks like something you would find on a HM strat.
I'd love that finish on a Strat or a HH Tele, that would be sick !!
Thanks for this video Darrell. I really like this guitar's looks and tone. I'm not a very good guitar player, but I have built several string instruments. All the things that I saw in this video are easily fixed with a minimum of work. For $250.oo it looks to me like a good deal. The one thing we don't know is how consistent the quality of these guitars is, but I expect it may be better than we think it would be.
I inherited an Indio that my mom bought after watching an earlier review. I must say, that it is quite nice, and very playable. Now to change my all acoustic style to incorporate some metal and blues techniques.
Great channel and you never hold back on the good points and bad points of the reviews you do.
Everyone complaining about the “extreme” logo 😂. Just bust out your Sharpie . Then go to ebay and buy an Epiphone logo for 2$. Nobody’s gonna question an Epiphone . Probably made in the same factory anyways. Problem solved! 😂🤣
Even better, I’m sure he could get a classy “Braun” logo made for just a few bucks.
I'm going 3D ...I have 'broach'? Jewelry where diamond would be on LP custom. Always catches folks eyes, and interest. Just like me!
Why would you advertise another brand you're not even playing on? That makes no sense to me at all. It's also messed up to the original brand, they're already hardly known & yet you still suggest using their guitar to advertise a bigger company. I'd suggest a sticker you like with a picture or your name, paint your own design over it, or just cover it all black. 🤷♂️ There's more creative thing you could do rather than give someone free advertising lol
That's such a poser response. Bet you're one of those guys who puts high-end component badges on a car, but none of that is under the hood.
That is a beautiful guitar. Incredible.
your production quality is killer ,Thank you for providing a valuable service .
the overdriven tones are to die for!! wow!!
Hey Darrell, just subscribed to your channel that i dig a lot! Love your personal and sincere approach to review the gear you think it’s worth to the rest of us. I’ve been learning guitar on and off since i was 12 but i am musically deaf and only on the last few years i started hearing nuances and notes better. One thing that intrigued me is that every good guitarist I’ve heard, as yourself, can get that sweet or nasal sound from any guitar, is there something you could explain and make easier for me to understand? Maybe a new video? I wish the videos teaching songs had you guys telling what’s been used to achieve the tone and perhaps some explanation on settings and great used, understand? I love Pink Floyd, U2, Led Zeppelin, and so many great legends, but would be great if your channel could make videos showing how to achieve or mimic the sounds they created. With the new wave of simulator gear it may be a great niche to teach how to achieve the sound of a player instead of just mimic the equipment that we’ll never be able to afford and that’s something you already do in s certain way by reviewing off-brand guitars and amplifiers like the Chinese time amp that sounded so good and not so crazy expensive you reviewed.
Appreciate every video you do!
Cheers from Florida!
Edson
This guitar is beautiful and sounds good to my ears.
Thank you Darrell, I find your reviews extremely informative. It's so frustrating that you can get such great tones out of cheap guitars, while I struggle to get anything pleasing out of expensive ones! Once you had pointed it out, all I could see was that rough edge on the f-hole, but the guitar looked really good for the money.
@Brian Davies • Brian look into a good tube amp, you can have the best guitar but it will sound like crap if it doesn't have a quality amp !
@@1979bobhd Thanks Bob. After writing the above I got myself a Laney valve amp and a few basic pedals. I am happier now with the sounds I am getting, though I am still pretty hopeless at playing guitar.
No joke, when you unwrapped it, I giggled at how good it looked being a super low end guitar.
This guy always puts out a great video. This guitar does come across as a fine item. Yes, the headstock logo needs to be redone but the resot of this guitar is wonderful. There are inexpensive guitars out there. This one is worth the a serious look.
yes, absolutely
They changed their logo! It looks way better now.
Hmmm. They couldn't spend $500 and do something more striking? But yeah, better than before.
but the guitar otherwise looks great!
I had good luck with "another brand" removing the logo with acetone... don't know if that will work here.
and they are currently sold out of these.
Since I know your channel I always watch some of your videos just to relax time after my college classes
Love that demo song you played, you play like I wish I could play, good on you.
Hey Darrel, I'm from Brazil and I really love to see all these different guitars that you bring here to your chanel, I like to give you a suggestion, here in Brazil we have a brand called Tagima, wich have affordable guitars and some different guitars, two model I have in mind to suggest is the TW61, is a Jazzmaster like with some difference, and one exclusive model of Tagima named Tagima Jet Blues Deluxe, this one is more expensive but have a great look and I think you will like thouse!
Cheers from Brazil!
Hi, I'm from Chile. Last time Tagima has brought here many models with good prices. These models, as Leandro says, are "emulations" of most of classic models, like strats, Les Paul's and other ones. Also, I realized that there's a line of "strats" with alnico pickups. I'd like to know more about the characteristics and quality of Tagima guitars, 'cause long time ago I want to purchase one strat with alnico single coils and I don't know if to wait for a Fender or buy something cheaper but with nice quality.
I don't know if Tagima comes to North America, but it would be interesting that you could try one of these guitars.
I love your channel. Greetings from Santiago.
I prefer the GBS Pro
I love love love my Tagima!!!
Sim também acho quer seria legal ele testar
i just visited brazil and played a few of those! i'm from the us and i'd be interesting to see what another american thinks of them. pretty good quality imo
I've started buying "lower end" no name type guitars lately...and I've been pleasantly surprised...there's ALWAYS something off...but for $150-250 I'm amazed by some of them...I've bought 4 since watching your channel...upgraded 2 of them with new EVERYTHING except body...it's the way I'm going now
My friends are SHOCKED & NOBODY cracks on them anymore
You probably have already, but I you haven't, check out glarrymusic, it's just much cheaper and it seems to be so great.
I like that the back is burst too, rather than solid black.
Great review, very nice guitar. Love your channel mate.
Now, as for the fretwork (grinning from ear to ear) I’m just gonna say “decent”!!!😂🤣
the reason that we will find decent objects for better prices is "probably" related to the idea that CDC machines and other computer assisted wood working machines are simply making such accurate cuts into wood that objects that need to fit precisely are fitting well. The end product can often be constructed to a higher level and since the machine does all the work, costs are lower.
Great video thanks for showing me this guitar. Sounds great. Good value
Hey Darrell. Can't believe you reviewed this guitar. I bought this to give for an auction fund raiser for a guy going through a hard medical time. I did a full fret leveling, dress and finish. Played it side by side with one of my Gibby custom shop historics. Kept up nicley. $200+ vs 7K. I'm gonna link your videos in the auction listing if you don't mind and going to play it at the event. Keep rocking and positing. Love and joy. B
335's are kind of cool but were never on my lust list. But wow, this one looks awesome!
Adding the fact that your playing through one of my favorite KG amps I still was surprised at how chimie this guitar is. Totally agree that that head stock logo needs to be changed. If anything it's the only thing that makes this guitar look cheap.
Hey Darrel
Thanks for all your videos
I've had rough frets and pings on every Epiphone I've owned...including the Swingster which, with taxes was about 4 times the cost. Great vid(s).
I agree on font. In fact i dont like that font at all.
Needs a gray ink wash over those huge bright letters.
Idk I liked it
It screams '80's hair metal.
It's pretty cheesy on their non Strats. I have one of their Teles and it doesn't quite match the beautiful 3 tone sunburst they gave it.
Yes, the logo should have been at the top, a little more subtle in size, and instead of paint, should be pearloid, and clear coated over.
Love the look of this guitar... only thing is I wish they had more color options available. I think this would look good in in nice deep red or blue. But this does have me going online and looking for a 335 that would be in my price range
Great review. Good tone. Awesome solo, very tasty! You should have had more of the song. Left me wanting more.
Great looking Guitar yes as you say the cheap end does have some flaws but they are getting so much better Great Videos always, keep them coming 😎
That black beauty being cheap is surreal! Really love and appreciate the work on highlighting these underrated masterpieces!
Indeedio. Ooops. I meant "Indio" deedio. Indeed. Hehehe
@@soundtreeatmsn That is awesome man!
Its as much of a masterpiece as your kitchen toaster and most likely comes out of the same factory. You need a lot to learn about guitars and what a musical instrument is. I hope you are only a little kid making this statement. I'll give you a pass.
@@zacharyhandcraftedguitars Ha ha ... butt hurting a bit eh ? Yes it IS a MASTERPIECE , especially against the silly high price of anything you'd be struggling to make . Who's the "little kid " crying ?
@@tonedriverss8629 What a stupid statement you made. You are only defending your own incompetence and ignorance. Yes, creating anything by hand is a struggle and why its so rewarding. Try it sometime if you were only capable.
I want to see the upgrade of this beauty ❤️
Rip the plastic finish off completely to start.
He is good...👏🏻🍻 thanks for playing for all of us
Considering Brian May built his guitar from scrap wood sourced from old furniture and motorbike parts this is a step up. He also recorded a few popular songs with it.
