Thanks for this. I ordered one of these (with the Mahogany top) just today. I'm hoping that, since I've long been a solid body electric player, this thinner body will feel more comfortable and similar to what I'm accustomed to. I like a wider than typical guitar neck (1 11/16" at nut) so I hope this wider neck is OK. It certainly sounds nice in your video.
Ive been looking for one of these for about a year now. Great playing, I do love a bit of shape of my heart!... ;) Something keeps stopping me pulling the trigger on the sale tho.... Im not sure why?!? Thank for taking the time to post this.
Hi Joe, Nice video, really relaxing ! Looking for an electro-classical guitar for some of the compositions of my band. Never played on a solid body one. I played on a Fender Strat Blackie and a Takamine EN60C 1- The sound is beautiful. I am wondering if it is natural sound or you mixed it? or any change on pick up? 2- how does the guitar sound without an amp or interface audio and speakers? 3- I use Helix and speakers (no more amps), will this guitar and pickup be good with Helix? Thanks Alain
Hello Alain, thank you for your comment!. Here is my reply. I hope it helps. 1 - In some of those clips I did a bit of "mastering" with Cubase, adding more volume with a plug-in from Waves, and a "hard wall" reverb from Cubase. Apart from that, it's just the sound of the guitar with a pretty much flat EQ and some reverb from my old BOSS GT 10. 2 - I guess you mean the sound when unplugged?. It is loud enough for practice, although I haven't tried to record it like that without a mic. 3 - I've heard Helix is a great product, so I guess it would be a great combination. If it sounds good with a GT 10, Helix will definitely great. I have to admit I've never tried it though. I hope this helps. Best regards, J
@@JoeMoreg hi, Thanks a lot for your answers. Yes it helped. 1. Ok, I also add effect on my recordings. So it won't be an issue. Just to get use to a new guitar and develop a great technics as yours... plan for years 😄 2. You're right I meant unplugged, just some broken English and forgotten word of a French 😉 If loud enough, that would be fine for me; no plan to record with a mc. 3. I had a GT a long time ago but broken. I bought the Helix floor, and that's an amazing product. Far from using all possibilities. The only problem with this guitar, it is not available before 6, 7 weeks at Thomann... Will delay Santa Clause delivery for me as my daughter disagreed for her presents. Hope I could share some videos in the middle of 2023, once I get the guitar and after the maternity leave return of our singer. Have a nice day, and can't wait four your other videos. Alain
Great playing - I think I'll get this guitar too. I first on was put away a bit (optically) by the missing sound hole (respectively its imitation), but in fact this isn't important at all for playing
Thank you for your comment. I am very happy with it. I mainly play it with headphones, but I occasionally play it unplugged for quiet late night practice.The headphones become the sound hole, so to speak, and the lack of it and solid body makes it quieter. Best regards
I am afraid I'm not using an amp with this guitar. I connected it to a BOSS GT-10. I am not sure which amp would be good for this particular guitar, sorry. I always use it with headphones for my online teaching. Thank you so much for your comment!
Hey, Joe...Merry Christmas! I have question about your sound. Can you share what amp, amp and guitar settings used to get that beautiful sound? Ive watched others demo the guitar, and they are really going for a more treble/reverb tone...no warmth... but your video really captures the only sound that I would want to achieve. Thanks in advance. I have a Harley Benton Hybred Steel, and was looking at the Hybred Nylon, but this guitar seriously interests me.
Hey!, Happy Xmas!. Sorry for the delay... I didn't use an amp for this recordings. I only used a Boss GT 10 with a flat EQ and a bit of Reverb. In some of them I may have added some extra "hard wall" reverb in Cubase and a Waves plug-in to make it louder. On the guitar the EQ was something like 80% Volume, 25% Treble and 75% Bass... more or less... I hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!. Best, J
Hey I have a question. If you don't plug in the guitar, is the sound going to be loud? I am planning to buy one, but I am about to move in to shared apartement (which mean I am going to share a room with someone else).
Hi, Joe! It sounds amazing! Congrats on your guitar skills and tallent! Can you tell me please, how is the guitar action out of the box, is the saddle to high, needs any adjustment? Can it compare to a electric guitar? How is the neck width, is it confortable, close to a classical or an electric? Thank you kindly! Best regards from Constanța, Romania! 🙏🎸😊
Thank you so much for your comment!. The action was very low from the factory and the neck is more like a classical guitar I'd say. I personally didn't have to make any adjustments. I hope this helps!. All the best
@@JoeMoreg, thank you so much for your quick response! My birhtday is coming soon! I am thinking about a new guitar, this one but in natural finish! Keep on rocking on your guitar journey! 👍☺️
Thank you Rodolfo!. I am afraid I don't have a scale to find out the exact weight... sorry!, but it isn't heavy at all. My Strat feels a lot heavier compared to it. I hope this helps
Saw your link at Thomann. So what do you think of this nylon string guitar? Are there the usual fret sprouts found on so many Harley Benton guitars and buzzy ill fitted frets?
Hello Neil, thank you for your comment. I am very happy with this guitar so far. I mainly use it when I teach online and I've also used it in a few recordings. I only had an issue with the tuning pegs, but Thomann sent me a replacement. The frets are totally fine. It feels good and it sounds good. It is very good quality for the price in my opinion. Good luck finding the right guitar!
I am thinking about buying this guitar as well. Do you have any idea how quiet this guitar is unamplified (unplugged)? The reason why I am asking if to be play at night, but I can only really do that when it it really quiet. So of these electric nylon guitars still produce quite some sound, even unplugged.
Hello P_Mouse, It is relatively quiet when unplugged, but I guess it depends on how hard or loud you normally play. Would you like me to do a video playing with it unplugged?.
@@JoeMoreg Hey Joe, I don't know how well that will come across a video? I mostly play finger style, sometimes strumming. I have seen other guitars in the past that basically weren't quiet at all. I mean obviously more quiet than a real acoustic guitar, but still very audible across the room.
@@p_mouse8676 This one isn't super quiet I would say... If I play it late in the evening, I tend to play it very gently. I can definitely be heard across a room. I hope this helps!. I am super happy with it, but I mainly use it with headphones whenever I have a student with a nylon strings guitar
@@JoeMoreg Thank you so much for the information! The other alternative would be one from Harley Benton (Nashville something, there is a nylon version of it). I used to have that for a very brief moment. Don't remember why I got rid of it again. It also just looks a lot less nice. I am planning to use the guitar with IR's (impulse responses) which will make them sound extremely good!
Hola Juan Luis, la tengo conectada a un Boss GT 10, en el que tengo algo de ecualización, aunque bastante plana, y reverb. Y en alguno de estos videos creo que he usado delays. Aparte de eso, creo que nada más. Un saludo
What do you think of this guitar? I've been seeing this and the Harley Benton Custom Nashville Nylon and I prefer the Angel Lopez just because the neck is satin finish while the HB is gloss. Have you had any problems with this guitar? is it a good guitar?
@@JoeMoreg Awesome! I heard it has a thinner neck than a traditional classical guitars (and a little bit of curve in the frets, like acoustic/electric guitars). Is that true? (Sorry for my english haha)
@@JoeMoreg JAJAJAJA el internet, que tiene estas cosas. Pues estoy a un pelo de calentarme y pillar la guitarra, como muy tarde a finales de mes que cobro. Muchas gracias por contestar!

@@JoeMoreg Thanks for the reply. Recently acquired the same guitar. I don't have a processor yet. But experimenting with plugins so far has settled on Neural DSP, Archetype Abasi. Preset Crystal Clean with amplifier off and adjusted delay and reverb. Treble and Bass are the same as yours. High frequencies here must be definitely reduced. The TH-U plugin is not bad either. But everywhere it turns out you need to turn off the amplifiers. They are not friends with piezo sensor's. Or I don't know how to set them up yet.
High or low action? Is it easy to play on it? Some people complain it has a very high action and that they needed to remove the bridge saddle and sand it down to lower the string action.
I have to apologize Andreas!. I was talking about my James Neligan guitar in my first message... sorry!. I uploaded videos for two different guitars and I got confused!. The action in this Angel López guitar is very low from the factory. I didn't have to change anything. Sorry about that!
@@JoeMoreg Hello Joe, hope all is well! Did you ever get around to transcribing your arrangement of Don't let me down - The Beatles? Thanks and have a good day
Hello, i wanted to buy this guitar a couple days ago but i couldn't figure if it was a good guitar, i just want to know how is the feeling with the guitar

Beautiful playing and lovely choice of songs. I just received mine today. I was wondering if you have any amp recommendations.

It depends on how you play I guess. It can definitely be heard but it is definitely not as loud as a normal acoustic guitar. I hope this helps!
@@JoeMoreg Hi Joe. Does it sound acceptable when unplugged or was it strictly made to be played connected to an amp? Thanks and beautiful playing btw.
@@anotheranon3118 Thank you so much for your comment. It sounds loud enough for practicing, and I would also say that it sounds nice.
@@JoeMoreg Understood. Thank you 😊
