This is the Grote GTLM-2 single cutaway budget electric guitar that I paid for with my own money. In case you didn't know it was a guitar it says Grote Guitar right on the headstock. Thank you! You're welcome!
I was very excited about this guitar because ... well, I explain it in the video.

What are the specs of this affordable electric guitar? Well, roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets, coil-splits, and other things. Full specs here: amzn.to/4fo0Rp6
The coil split three way switch is for series, parallel, and split. Can you hear the difference? Barely. As I've stated a million times before, I don't like coil splits. A useless feature in most guitars.
If you knew what I had to go through to get this video edited and uploaded, my goodness, I almost deleted the channel today. (iMovie broke while trying to export so I re-edited the video. iMovie broke again so I re-edited the video in Davinci Resolve. What an amazing waste of 5 hours. Don't start a RU-vid channel, kids.)

Hope you stick around 😢you have the skills to fix a guitar I bet you could build something and people will watch I understand your frustration but there are lots of different guitar related channels it doesn’t have to be reviews. Repair, building,playing how to use equipment. I have a mixer I found don’t even know how to use it. Have an amp that only partially works. Several of my guitars need simple work like a new switch and I don’t know how to do any of that you have lots of knowledge and have been very helpful with your channel it’s just the algorithm of you tube is shit. 💩

My gripe, people being afraid of de-monetization. I love to know people that give away guitar's as I do. I'm not monetized. I miss the old day's my opinion is, sqy what you want and play what you want. We need to stop bending thr knee to the great u tube. They dont help us that much anyway. I had one grote and it was a pile of crap that I ended up paying over 400 for just to get it here and playable and it still sucked. Somehow, PRC just pisses me off.

That's a fine attitude if you can afford it, but not everyone making videos is independently wealthy. That's too bad about the Grote. I've heard mixed reviews over the years, but this is my first experience with them and this is a good one so far. I obviously need to play it more before giving my final verdict, but I like it so far! 🤘

I'd like to thank you for posting your next video, to give us a heads up about the problems of making a channel. (I'm sneaking around the 'no comments' thing; sorry!) I just want to thank you for telling us the truth, because I've followed some really great channels over the past few years, that suddenly just stopped. In a few cases, the creators were so VERY enthusiastic about making videos that I wonder if they died or went bankrupt -- it seems so unlikely they'd just stop, even though I'd heard many hints about how financially unrewarding it is. I'd like to add that I started following your channel about 8 or 9 months ago when I decided to buy a guitar. I had no idea how many hours spent working on the videos, nor how much money you were investing!
@ArtOfShredYT
@ArtOfShredYT 2 месяца назад
You really have to love filming and editing videos. And it helps to be great at it. I am not good at it and it doesn't help that I loathe filming and editing. Editing more so. Takes a good 30 minutes just to delete most of the "umms" and "f***ks" in every video haha. I'd be willing to do it if it didn't cost money, but to pay to do something you hate is just ... not sustainable.
@Allie-w1l

@@ArtOfShredYT Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Maybe if there were topics that you were particularly interested in sharing, you could do it now and then, but I don't think you should sink money into it. The give-aways are very generous, but not very tenable.

​@@ArtOfShredYTCame in here to write a similar thing. As someone who would also loathe filming myself I understand. As far as buying stuff for videos costs more than you make back perhaps a local music store would let you review things for free if you advertise them? Always thought that would be neat. Show what different models sounded like thru different amps or with different pedals be cool especially if you are looking to order online. But again, if you hate making videos... Lol anyway, just wanted to say I appreciate your vids and reviews. The fact that you don't come across cocky makes it seem more authentic I dunno lol (maybe youll end up staying active in the community in a different way, in a reddit sub etc. Okay aaaanyway, peace out ✌🏻🤘🏻🤟🏻
