Hey Brandon and Marshall, i have a little game to play. Would you be able to recomended a few guitars that i should look at? My first guitar, not knowing anything, was a Godan seagull artist mosaic with cedar top auditorium body 14 fret cutaway. I find it a little large in body = don't play much now for being uncomfortable = fingers hurt more. Dont need it for what it was made for anymore. I like to pick and strum artistically but not much classically (curious to learn some) may occasionally jam a rhythm. A couch or campfire guitar that sounds nice, but not too afraid of elements. I can make full use of a 12 fret but a cutaway would be an added comfort as long as it doesnt take away from sound. Basically looking for an affordable gem. A strange thought i had was i may want a nylon/parlor or a 3/4 size classical with with truss rod. Even the crazy thought of a lamiated top🙊 (Fender fa15n bottom end goden motif perhaps as top end?) I don't want to miss out on any unknown options as the store is limited in variety unless i order in something. I live far away and wanted to be prepared before i walk in the store. Thanks for your time All the best.

Hey there, Brandon and Marshall. One of my memories from my conservatory days was seeing my friend and classmate, Lily Afshar, entering our guitar ensemble class with her brand new Brune! She was literally over the moon, and I could see why! The pumpkin color of the guitar was so unique and the sound she produced on the instrument was so rich and beautiful... she (and the rest of us) were mesmerized... I mean none of us could believe the experience of witnessing a beautiful performer playing on such a beautiful instrument with such an amazing sound! Thank you, Marshall, for creating your art so that guitarists can create theirs.

Brass player here: I couldn't really hear any difference between the different backs, but the spruce vs cedar was obvious from the first notes. I think whatever the difference is between those two is similar to the difference between 4/4 and 5/4 tubas or .500 vs .547 trombones.

It's both instructive and enjoyable to watch and hear comparisons like this. It would be great to hear these guitars again in a year to compare how their sound has aged, changed, and matured. But, I know that's not a very likely scenario. Thanks I think the Microphone position or recording method could be improved some, as all the guitars sounded like they had more bass than would occur naturally. It was as if there was proximity effect, but the mic didn't look particularly close to the guitars. 🤷

@zvonimirtosic6171 Год назад

Firstly, excellent playing of Villa Lobos Prelude. As for the guitars, Brazilian Rosewood is seems, almost universally, scoops out the mids because it's a harder type of rosewood, so it sounds a bit 'boomier'. But Indian rosewood leaves more mids, it does not 'scoop' them as much because Indian rosewood is a bit softer type of rosewood, which then sweetens up the sound.

Very interesting video. To my untrained ears that spruce top quitar (even from limited sample) sounds absolutely brilliant as parlour instrument while playing for small audience. I love those crisp trebles and slightly muted basses. And contrary those with cedar top should be ideal for playng in auditorium for greater audience where louder and bassier tones are needed. Lovely very lovely.

@usamazaheer9194 Год назад

Totally unrelated to the video, Marshall looks very similar to a guy named Anthony from the channel Linus Tech Tips. When I first saw him, he felt very familiar. I wonder if these two are somehow distantly related. Please dont take this wrong, what I mean two say is both of these gentlemen seem like very kind people. They even have the same voice tone, demeanor, almost identical faces, and are, well, absolute experts in their respective fields. Brandon if you are reading this, I would love to hear/see Marshall's reaction to this. If I am not wrong, people who are subscribers of both LTT and your channel would love to see it too. Anthony is a favorite and so is Marshall. Two absolute gentlemen.

@lynxg4641 Год назад

Well now, that was interesting and seems to have proved my thoughts that the back and sides do play quite a big role in the sound, more so than a lot would think. Definitely like what the Brazilian Rosewood does to the sounds vs the Indian Rosewood. To the tops, think I prefer the Cedar over Spruce with the Brazilian Rosewood, more overall range it seems to me.

@unitedintraditions Год назад

Back and sides make little difference. Torres made paper mache back and sides guitar.

@grkuntzmd Год назад

My hearing isn't very good (inherited hearing defect), but to me, the spruce sounds brighter and the cedar warmer, and the Indian rosewood is also brighter and the Brazilian rosewood is warmer.

@IQzminus2 Год назад

I decide to close my eyes and see if the wood made any difference in what sound I preferred. And learned I really like cedar tops. And I was surprised how there was quite a bit of difference in tone, even from the wood of the sides and back. Though I’m nowhere near skilled or experienced enough to be able to distinguish or recognise the woods from sound alone. That is some seriously impressive stuff! But what sound I liked from the different guitars was quite consistent. I liked the cedar top the best the first round. And in round 2 and 3 I liked the cedar top and Indian rosewood combination the best. For my next guitar, whenever that is. I think I’ll look a bit extra at the cedar tops. I really liked the sound of both the cedar guitars. And maybe also specifically the cedar top and Indian rosewood combo. Because to me it stood out in both round 2 and 3 as the type of warm sound I’m drawn to.

@christofinb 10 месяцев назад

I’d really wish someone would do a test and more frequent reviews of more affordable guitars and comparison of like for like models from known brands like Cordoba, Alhambra, Raimondo, Camps etc It is interesting doing high end hand built but want some comparison of guitars out there in more of the common market would be useful for students.

@DrDoohickey 6 месяцев назад

The spruce and cedar sound noticeably different, even to a novice with a decent ear. But isn't the difference between woods used on the back and sides outweighed by the variation inherent in construction? Surely two instruments with the same materials and starting specifications are still bound to differ enough to make the choice of wood for the back and sides relatively unimportant?

What if the instrument had more than one type of wood for the back. I wonder how that would play out. I don't play guitar, but my viola da gamba has vertical alternating strips of walnut and maple for the back. I wonder if one dominates the other or would they somehow merge into something different to both individual qualities?
