What a beautiful top!!! Not just a veneer apparently! And sounds killer! Great playing Darrel! Thanks!

@bostonbesteats364 Год назад

Yup, Shijie never uses veneers, they are maple caps of various thicknesses (1mm to 10 mm). Not sure about this guitar, since it has a binding covering the end

@user-lx7kl4sp2y Год назад

@@bostonbesteats364 Well...a 1mm top IS a veneer, isnt it? ;)

@bostonbesteats364 Год назад

@@user-lx7kl4sp2y There isn't really a formal definition of a veneer vs a cap as far as I know, but many guitar veneers are thinner than 1mM (and there are also "photo transfers" too). The 1mM Shijie veneer/cap guitar I was referring to that I have is as 2 piece mahogany body + 6mm 3A Flat sawn flame maple cap + 1mm 5A Burl maple top (all three are visible due to the carve), so we talking a different league there, it's more of a custom shop guitar. Shijie caps are about 1 cm thick in my experience.

@user-lx7kl4sp2y Год назад

@@bostonbesteats364 "Veneer" is not a dirty word in my world...plenty of awesome guitars have them. All i am saying is that if we start calling a 1mm slice of wood a top, then the word "veneer" becomes kinda meaningless and we should just call everything a top :)

Wow Darrell that guitar looks and sounds awesome! I must have missed your video on Shinji before, but they sound like a great company.

@GaryKatz Год назад

Hey Darrell! Excellent video. My reading of the specs is : one piece body. It does Say that, in fact. The cap, of course, is maple 🍁. The really nice one-piece neck is Canada 🇨🇦 maple 🍁 select piece. Amazing, actually. Locking tuners, bone nut, wow. Shi-ji-e.(spelling aid, I think 🤔 ) I've been in the hospital 🏥 a lot, sadly, but this guitar 🎸 healed me enough to order one. I can't wait. Thanks for this, Darrell: King of the North! 😆... Gary

@bostonbesteats364 Год назад

I got my 6th Shijie in the mail today (6 days shipping from China to East Coast!), a custom shop STE-Master strat. Obviously I think they are amazing guitars. Regarding the TM-5, worth noting that that isn't a quilted maple veneer, it's an actual thick maple cap, like all similar Shijies. They use really high quality woods.

@robertvarner8195 Год назад

I just recently got a M Musi virgo fusion guitar and it's unbelievable for the price. They have roasted maple necks and fretboards but some have rosewood fretboard. They have stainless steel frets with excellent fretwork and rounded polished ends, locking tuners, tremolo, coil split and some beautiful finishes. They have a Strat style, telecaster, and super telecaster with humbuckers. Darrell you should check these out because they're only a third of what the Shijie cost, about $279 to $339.

@MrPhotonjockey Год назад

I also got a Virgo Fusion. I am somewhat underwhelmed considering all the hype. The locking tuners were too tight. The Rosewood fretboard was super dry and the frets were gritty feeling. I cannot get the action down to were I want to, so it is either going back or I will need to have it shimmed. Maybe I should ship it to Mr. Braun for review?

@robertvarner8195 Год назад

@@MrPhotonjockey Every guitar is a little different and the only problem I had with mine was fret buzz and with a trust rod adjustment I was able to fix that but they go through alot of temperature and humidity change when they're shipping long distances. If I were in your shoes I'd send it back for another one or let a expert check it out.

The guitar is almost perfect. They should roll the neck edges, since it is a roasted neck don't put a finish on the neck, use stainless steel jumbo (6100) frets (even if they have to raise the price $50) and make a thick neck version for those that like a thicker neck. Thanks for the video.

I have a Fenderish guitar I love I re customized myself with a new neck on a body that should not have been, but it does have a Fender type 6 bolt bridge I really hate about the guitar, but I had no choice when building on to the body. It was a Batman guitar boat paddle from 6 Flags in TX. But the guitar plays awesome! I just cannot see spending that type money again on a guitar that has a tremolo thats not a Floyd Rose. But other than the 2 point trem your guitar has, its beautiful!

@grimper35 Год назад

Looks terrific in many ways. That color pattern is not for me; but it's impressive nonetheless. Two other little nitpicks from me: I hate the empty space around the pickups. Isn't there some kind of pickup ring that could be devised to close up all that empty space. I find it very unsightly. Glaringly so. It gives the guitar a very unfinished/incomplete look. Is it also a place for dust/dirt to accumulate? Second I hate the placement of the of the top knob (volume, I assume). It is too close to your right-hand position. I'd like it an inch or so further down/away. Aesthetically is it out of balance (to my eye); and, I suspect I would be constantly hitting it inadvertently with my right hand.
