Lee sprung a surprise video on our pal JustinGuitar - what does he REALLY think of the cheapest acoustic guitar that we sell? EastCoast acoustics start at well under £100 and have plenty of choice on offer. We reckon he pleasantly surprised...

There's just something so neat about seeing Lee be that authentically excited about how well his products are coming out.
Having pride in your work goes a long way
will Eve like the apple, or will she eat everything else?
He owns eastcoast?
If you look closely you can see the pound signs in his eyes when he says it
@@ared18t Not quite. It’s a house brand used on instruments sourced from a Chinese factory.
Ha ha. The look on Justin’s face when you told him the price.
This guy literally raised me as a guitar player. I got my first acoustic and electric when I was 12. I'm 23 now.
jeez, you must be pretty sweet on the old geetar? I'm 26 and I've just started my journey, 1 week in.
@@TheShubbah I think I'm alright. Hey man good for you! It's a journey, but if you stick with it you'll be rewarded in the end. Remember don't worry about how fast you can play or how technical you can be. Have fun and rock on 🤘🤘🤘
@@briancarroll1412 thanks mate, yeah I can do some chords but I cant switch between them quickly at all.. yet! haha
Justin was the key for me, I felt forever trapped as a beginner until I started following his lessons!
That expression on Justin's face after hearing £79 was the main point of the video.
That is great.We want to see justin more often on this channel.
keeping in mind these are pro-types that the factory sent over for final approval, i'm sure they wouldnt send over guitars that weren't fully checked and possibly set up. my point being that quality control isnt usually the highest priority at that price point.
This is the best four and a half minutes of Andertons
I guess I'll have to try one now just because £79 and I don't have an acoustic, cheaper than almost anything else I'm looking at!
It was a nice surprise to see Justin at Anderton's, I've been following his beginner's course on here for the last few months. I'd highly recommend it, it's very easy to understand and follow.
A bit off topic BUT a huge THANKS to Ollie @ Andertons-we just spoke & he was VERY helpful with regards to the information i needed vis a vis a certain effects pedal that i will be purchasing. That 75 quid acoustic sounds great, really looking forward to hearing those in the 100-150 quid range.
My first guitar was an Encore dreadnought (£79 also, but in the sale for £64!) and as much as I loved it... Man... It was a dog. Hard to play, terrible intonation and just poor quality all over. But at the time (1997) paying for it with milk and paper round money it was all I could afford. The next significant step up seemed to be a Simon and Patrick, and that cost £350. Things have definitely improved in the last couple of decades for affordable guitars and equipment.
Main question is how good is the quality assurance. This model really did sound pretty good but I'm always paranoid that maybe it's one of a kind and others are poop.
Jepp! Thats what it comes down to.
for 75 does it really matter? just get 2 and send the shit one back
First thing I'd do with any acoustic guitar is take it to a luthier and have a professional setup done on it. A luthier will either correct anything wrong or explain to you why you need to take this guitar back to the shop it came from; that latter advice will probably be free.
@@snozbaries7652 That is not the point. If, for example, 8 out of 10 guitars are "shit ones", it says a lot about the Company/production. It is not about the price making it feasible to do the "order and return" trick over and over again. If you have to do this, then probably there is something wrong in general ;)
Eduardas Vilkas you are 100% ! Quality consistency is the biggest battle for mass produced guitars. These first/demo guitars are the goal, you would be worried if these were rubbish. Lol
only time will tell if they actually keep the standards up during production
Captain is tired and scared of the lessons with Justin, so he selected a safety net of guitar reviews 🤣
DAMMIT! Just as I was ready to settle into hearing Justin play the rest of the range, the vid just stops! Nooo... Do the whole lot.
one of my most used guitars is a $60 one from 25 years ago.
Ahh great marketing vid lads!!!!
They’ll fly out the door for Christmas 🎄
Now debating buying one to replace my cheap Chinese one I got for £10 😂
welp...talk about good advertising xD
@Captain - I remember when you won the Best Music Store Award and said something like, "I just want to be apart of helping move music forward." What you are doing with these quality low-cost acoustic and electric guitars is doing this. I know you are still in the business of making money, but I doubt that is your primary concern with these guitars. Very cool how you are providing an affordable option to beginning guitar players. Nice job Captain!
@Andertons : Do the guitars come like this or have you done setup?
Got the grand Auditorium and restrung with D'Addario EZ910's and cheap bone nut and saddle. It projects well, and very crisp.
Very easy upgrade, and for the princely sum of £11. Very pleased, have a try :)
Just out the box, no Andertons set-up? And of course the factory checked these guitars, so how about the production runs? Consistency? I have great confidence in Andertons, but 'd like some things spelled out.
I think Lee mentioned in another video that they all get a basic setup when they arrive at the store
@@CorrosionAudio They say that about every guitar they sell. I've bought four guitars online from Andertons, ranging from £500 to £1200. None of the boxes had been opened from the factory.
I bought an eastcoast dreadnought around 12 months ago, from guitar guitar not andersons though. I've been having all sorts of issues with the neck that cannot be fixed without a reset. i lost my receipt lol so couldn't take it back and i'm not really prepared to spend any money on fixing it. i will likely set it up for some slide guitar just to get some use out of it.
Thanks for not scrimping out on good content when you've got so much knowledge in your guests!
I've had mine for a couple of months now, they're excellent little instruments and worth far more than the retail
Do you recommend it?
I just made a purchase of a Washburn WA90CE from a big box store in the States. I had been passing over this guitar in the store because it was only $150. But I would strum it every time I was in the store on a monthly basis. I finally bought it this past week. I did have to dress the fret ends & level some frets, but I have to say - it sounded better than my $2000 Martin D-18. We are living in an Era of very inexpensive, but good guitars. Here’s the kicker - it’s all laminate!
Yeah, it sounds about how you'd expect a cheap laminated acoustic to sound. If the quality assurance is consistent and they're all setup like that, then that's a great starter acoustic or a convenient campfire guitar.
I live about as far from Guildford as it's possible to be, so I won't be able to check out these guitars....but man.....hasn't the world of affordable guitars changed over the years? Aren't we luck little campers? :)
Haha, genuine look of shock on Justin's face was great!!!
This video just makes me want to hear the higher range solid top versions.
Jonesing for a new lesson with Justin and Lee!
Justin is one of those players/reviewers you know you can trust. Excellent upload.
Really nice premium headstock and overall appearance. From the looks of them I was like:"those can't be cheap!"
What the hell is a premium headstock?
I laughed at the cantina of a government building the moment I heard £79
My first purchased acoustic was a Fender for about £75 - but that was 1977!! To think you can get a very playable acoustic for that money 50 years on is incredible! I wonder if this kind of deal will have the big boys pulling their prices down a bit?
I hope you sell a bunch!!! all the best, Rick C
I can't say if they're good or not. What I can tell you is when Chinese factories send you samples to check and approve, you can be absolutely, 100% certain the ones they subsequently push off the production line won't be _anywhere_ near as good.
LOL at Justin. It's about time some more quality acoustics are being produced. Here in the States the best value for a couple of bills is typically a Yamaha. However, I've never found a $100 acoustic that was even close to decent. It would be great to have some of those laying around for open tuning fun. :-)
Love the idea, would have been great to have these deal when I began in mid 90's, but I wonder what are the consequences (workers, market point of view, etc.) of that kind of lowest price quest (even quality is upgraded). Real question 🖖
It's a valid question. I would say that CNC technology is part of the reason for the dropping prices, but yeah, the actual humans who work in the factories can't be paid high wages if this is the price the end customer pays, that goes without saying.
Then again, I am hopeful Andertons does try to keep some sort of check on these things.
With modern production technology I think the consequence is fewer workers. The biggest saving is always automation that reduces time per item and the number of workers needed. This is true from the beginning of the industrial revolution to now.
@@meadish no doubt about Anderton, it was just a general thought, thanks for your answer : )
@@chrisofnottingham interesting, thanks for your answer
When these are released officially, I'd like to see a comparison between a couple of the EastCoast guitars vs the following (all prices correct at the time of commenting) : Epiphone Pro-1 in either the blue or red to stand out (£99), Fender FA-115 pack (£99) and/or FA-125 (£109) as opposed to their "budget" Squier branded acoustics as they're the same price, the Ibanez PF12MN-H (£129) and/or Ibanez PF15 (£139), and just because this is really cheapest full size acoustic guitar at Andertons: the Valencia VC204NA (£69) and the also unknown brand (to me anyway) the full size Admira Alba (£109) and/or Sara (£119).
Most of those are dreadnought body shapes, but some are grand auditorium body shapes or have direct equivalents from the same manufacturer...of course this could easily be upwards of two days work in tandem with running the shop, however as a consumer and in the market for a budget acoustic (in blue!) I'd have to sand down an EastCoast acoustic and either repaint it or otherwise put some adhesive film over it. Personally I'd go for the Ibanez PF18-WDB (not currently available on Andertons) and there are others I've got my eye on, but anyways this comment is long enough. :) Thanks for the videos! Really appreciated Justin going into the Quo-style chug boogie in the previous vids as well. :)
If only I had seen this last week?! I actually looked at andertons website for a cheap good quality acoustic for a gift and I recalled how good the Eastcoast electrics were. Didn’t find any acoustics so went and bought an Artist acoustics for £110. Could have saved myself £32! Doh
The cheaper stuff is such amazing quality these days there really is no more excuses not to learn to play well anymore.
That was a grate reaction to the price....
It just arrived, seems great so far
It's really easy to find a cheap, good electric guitar these days but an Acoustic? Not so much.
I was lucky enough to have a really cheap but really good acoustic guitar as my first guitar. Till this day, when my teacher picks it up he goes "wow, that does Not feel like 75£". (Yes, you read that right, 75£).
(After watching the video) Apparently Justin has quite similar reactions as well.
vocal cords
Justin had the same look on his face that I had at the price. I'm getting one!
don't be a sucker this was a sells ad nothing more.
@@Pauliewallnutts I got one and it's a great little guitar..no pint in me getting a £400 one as I cant make it sound better,,,im a middling guitarist who played pro
That thumbnail is gold.
My guitar teacher whose been playing for 35 years bought the Koa one and he loves it, he says it’s better than some 1000 pound plus guitars
I don't usually like to be overly cynical but at the same time, these models are not out yet and the factory sent them some demo examples that very likely got special attention both before shipping out of the factory and when they arrived at Andertons. I have little doubt that they have a good action and generally play well with that in mind.
Beyond that. I can't say that I really would want to run out and buy one of these. You don't get to sell guitars for under $100 without making compromises that are not required on more expensive mid-level acoustics. There is a reason that acoustics that sit in the $100 to $250(ish) range all tend to share a lot of characteristics and I seriously doubt that this brand suddenly found a formula to make a sub-$100 guitar that can match anything above its price class.
Before Justin arrived you can be sure that guitar was set up perfectly for him, it was in tune, so it was definitely prepared for him.It wouldnt make sense doing the review if Justin said it sounds like a 79 quid guitar.
Absolutely, I'm a self taught luthier and I can usually make a cheap old log play like butter, within reason 😊.....takes a good hour or two to set up a guitar and that lack of labour is what separates a cheapy from a dearer one. A CNC is a CNC machine but a CNC can't do the final set up of nut, saddle and neck.
Hello, Andertons! I remember there used to be a cutaway model for the dreadnought and grand auditorium on your website when I first checked them few weeks ago and now the are gone. Will be theese cutaway models availible in this range or not?
Man That’s An Unreal Price 👍👍🎶🎶🎸Awesome.
Now that was Smart for sure Mr. Lee A. great seeing the surprised Justin, good luck all, Jeff in LA USA
Good timing, I need an acoustic to modify. But why you make me wait!
I would have liked to see him play up and down the fretboard to check the action and see if it stays in tune ok.
At this money; is it still worth looking on auction sites and going through (potential) hassle to pick up a 'bargain'?
Looking forward to seeing upcoming video of rest of the range to compare alongside Sire et al..
I watched Justin’s reaction to the price reveal 3 times. Hilarious
Having studied marketing I wouldn't be surprised when the 79 quid model would sell better (and customer satisfaction would be better) when it sold for 99.
Will these come with the option to have one of the Andertons techs give it a once-over right out of the box? Because I remember that being a thing on the East Coast electric guitar range.
if you look close enough at 2:35, you can see the script for the video laying on the ground.
there is no script, just a great guitar.
My guess is that these are likely very similar to Orangewood acoustics
£79!! Any new Eastman’s around the £300-500 mark?
Different brand. These are "Eastcoast", I think its a brand that Andertons owns.
Linus Svensson Yes I meant Eastcoast😀 but thanks.
Think I know what my next acoustic is going to be!
Good morning Andertons!
Also does Justin have a guitar called "Froggy Bottom" ?!
Tarvu froggy bottom is an insanely high end brand of acoustic guitars, I don’t know too much about it but from what I’ve heard most of them range from $5k-$10k
@@cricky6239 ah cheers! I looked them up and they are some lovely looking guitars :)
Love these
Sounds great.
Alright, so two questions - do you make left handed ones and do you ship worldwide?
Of course he's going to say they're good and be 'shocked'. They wouldn't upload it if he turned round and said they were rubbish.
They posted a Tele blind fold challenge with Rob. Rob wasn't that fond of the East Coast tele. They posted that.
I don't know much about the East Coast brand but I'm assuming it's not an Andertons exclusive because I've seen these in Guitar Guitar too. Can I ask, why not white label it and put the Anderton name on the headstock? :O
You don't want your precious brand, built up over decades, on lowest price range products. That's called Halo-effect. Since Rob is almost daily on The German channel, I dare say here it's the their HarLee Band-on. Low budget, but kinda 'approved by'. Which is a good thing.
LOVE JUSTIN
That mahogany top one does look really nice
the question remains under what circumstances these guitars are manufactured. Probably from jailed in children somewhere in Asia? £79 minus profit of Andertons, minus shipping, minus tax - there can't be much left to provide a fair salary!
Justin, you look great without your hat.
Would you guys ever consider stocking orangewood guitars? I heard they're really good and cheap
Not likely. The whole point of East Coast is to have their own range of affordable guitars.
I'd be pretty peed off to find a guitar costing £79, that sounds and plays pretty much as well as the one I'd just paid £7500 for 😁
Going to get one for my friend.
£79 would make a fantastic jamming tool. What a ridiculous price
Imagine what a good set of strings would do.
And now I want to buy one ahah
Some cheap guitars are ok, some are junk. Try before buy.
Alright, that was great...
So how many have you had to order to get that price?
Question...Can I get this in the states?
More vids like this please. Better stock up.
although I really do think this is genuine, maybe it would have been better to blind test him and see how he feels about a few guitars within that sort of price range
I think there would be a very heavy perceived conflict of interest if they were comparing to other brands, no matter how honest they were.
@@niclastname yeah, this basically is an ad for East Coast. having better brands alongside and a blindfolded Justin comparing the feel, playability and sound of those guitars will put East Coast at a disadvantage.
@@funkyhelpermonk You seem to have a heavy bias, since these guitars aren't even available to try yet lmao. You couldn't possibly know of their quality.
Also, just out of curiosity, can you list me some $79 acoustics that would put these to shame? I can't think of any guitars that are good at that price.
@@niclastname you misunderstand me. I don't have an opinion on the brand at all. I was merely agreeing with what you said and expanded on it.
If they were to have this $79 guitar alongside more expensive guitars and have a blindfolded Justin play them, I'm pretty sure Justin will be able to tell which one's $79 and which one is $790.
Justin also mentioned that this easily costs 150. To give the brand a better angle, why not have this $79 guitar played alongside the 150 and have a blind Justin guess the cheapest and dearest? I think that would be a fair comparison and will put east coast in a good light.
@@funkyhelpermonk You're expanding on something I didn't even say though, to the point that I don't see why you're even addressing it to me.
The comment I replied to was talking about comparing these to others in the same price range ($79). So why even bring up $790 guitars? The didn't even mention guitars that expensive. I wasn't saying it wouldn't be a fair comparison to compare it to something in the $150 range as they mentioned. I said they probably didn't want to do something like that because it would have a massive perceived conflict of interest since it's Anderton's brand. So if they said "yeah the East Coast is as good or better", everyone is going to think "well of course _they'd_ say that, it's _their_ brand!", whether it's legitimately as good or not.
Does it come with a hard case?
Andertons investing in the future of our music... less (c)rap and more music by 2030. Thank you!!
Any East Costs for kids comming?
Oh. Justin has hair. Who'd have thought.
Really looking forward to watching the video on the full range, I’m very interested on the mini sizes, I hope I can get one before Brexit occurs 😄
I have just bought a harley benton clp me vs for 200 and it sounds and plays amazing
i'm pretty sure they won't have that same price when they sell a few, it's just a marketing trick to get people to know the brand
Justin looks exactly like the guy from John Carter
haha that is hilarious!! and such an underrated movie.
Who makes these then and for what money? Do they actually get paid!? I mean the actual workers not the manufacturers.
Also are they all going to be as good or is it a lottery?
Wood is not usually cheap thees days either with environmental concerns so whats the source of that.
I just don't think you can make a good guitar as cheap as that without someone or something paying the price
Maybe from precision robotised factory line; would explain low cost base.
Even robotic lines cost money, and wood definitely costs money. So its either faux veneer over really crappy wood with plastic bracing, or they are simply losing money. The only way to make them this cheap is to cut a lot of corners, and/or lose money in the hopes of selling tens or hundreds of thousands of these. People are just too damn cheap these days and quality and worker’s livelihood suffers. We don’t care as a culture that some poor slob is a virtual slave as long as we get cheap stuff.
This is wrong and I do not support it.
I also strongly feel that this makes people treat music as a disposable hobby, since they pay so little for instruments that they do not appreciate them-and definitely not the people who make them. I’m all for accessibility, but this is too far, and sacrifices too much.
@@weschilton Hear what you say, but: without fully knowing the full facts, I think its only fair to give some credit to those that have sourced and signed off on the product.
Yes, sustainability (in all its forms) is a real world issue and it pays to do as much digging as you can to avoid participating in exploitation, or unwittingly handing over your income to corporations that avoid paying their taxes.
However, assuming compliance has been met - the more people that can be reached in order to have the opportunity to learn guitar, the better. If it doesn't work out for them then there is a good chance it'll be advertised, or even given away thus providing an affordable opportunity for another person to learn; and that has to be a good thing.
no shipping for sri lanka ?
Its so cheap coz its made in Bangladesh or China whare workers get 1$ for days work. Make it in UK and then give us a price tag
NO shit sherlock
The look on Justin's face when he heard the price, priceless.
Justin looks like thm without a hat.
Great. Next time get aMarty Schwartz.
Where's Rob?
pappoos2 his Mrs has just had a new baby.
@@paulcharlton4788 Oooooooh. I see.
Are you kidding me ???!!!
