To be honest, I'm absolutely amazed at how regressive the guitar industry is. The kind of quality-of-life features that this instrument offers are stupidly simple, and couldn't possibly cost much more to manufacture. I realize that most guitarists don't want built-in digital effects like the Firebird X, but there are some basic adjustments like the magnet back cover and the easy-to-change pickup system that would make life easier for minimal cost. My complaining aside, that was a very nice guitar. I'm digging the unique singlecut design, too!
These kinds of features have actually been around for a years. The industry has tried to introduce these features but they never succeed because it's the guitarists that are regressive and refuse to change due to some imperceptible tonal differences that are likely all in their heads.
Agree 100%. For example, I'm amazed that we're still soldering pickups. It would be pretty easy to have a harness system like this in all guitars. It wouldn't even have to be so simple as this guitar - just some wiring harnesses that eliminate the need for soldering would be a huge first step. It'd be good for the industry too, as with less soldering, people would be more adventurous in their pickup selection.
@@iamamish If you're interested, there's a couple of different quick connect systems that can be bought in preloaded pickguards so you can change parts around as you please or you could simply use terminal strips or molex connectors instead.
ViviSectia yeah thanks I’m aware of them and I also agree with your earlier comment. The real issue isn’t the industry per se, it is instead the lack of consumer demand (which mystifies me).
Yeah, when Gibson introduced their Quick-Connect system, I was hopeful that perhaps they could turn it into an industry standard (at the very least, for high-end models). Consumers somehow didn't seem to appreciate the idea, though. I've seen videos detailing how to bypass existing Quick-Connect systems, as if they're an annoyance rather than a feature.
Darrell, this is a fantastic video! I want to personally thank you for showcasing this guitar. Had I not seen this video, I may have never learned of this fantastic instrument. I was born in '52, and I got my very first guitar in 1965. Since then I have owned and played well over 100 guitars of different makes and models. But never in my life have I seen a guitar as innovative and exciting as the Relish. This even surpasses the great Travis Bean guitars of the '70s and '80s. Those had thru-body aluminum necks, and are, in my opinion, the best playing guitars I ever owned. The paradigm has shifted! When it comes to guitars, I finally feel like I'm living in the 21st century. The brands that I grew up loving...Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, and Rickenbacker have become stale and somewhat boring. They seem to be stuck in yesteryear, making the same old tired reissues over and over. Just how many more variants of Les Pauls, Strats, and Teles does the world need? I think we have enough of those already. That is why it is so encouraging to see a new company like Relish Guitars produce an instrument that is so revolutionary. It's a breath of fresh air! I feel lucky to have lived long enough to see this happen in my lifetime. Recently, I have been seriously contemplating buying another Gretsch Custom Shop guitar. I love Gretsch guitars! Especially the works of art that come from their custom shop. But, after seeing this and other videos on Relish Guitars, I have made up my mind to definitely purchase a Relish. I just have to decide whether I want the Jane or the Mary. I apologize for the long rant, but I wanted you know just how much this video changed the way I think about guitars. Sincerest gratitude, my friend!!!

Nice new concept of guitar making. But man....I still love the Tele that you build sir. The one hanging on the wall, that Double Bound Sunburst Tele 😍🤘
This is amazing, i made something similar a couple years ago. I made 3 strats with quick interchangeable pickguards with different pickup setups, my setup was with velcro on the the back, you pull the pickguard out from the back and just put in one with a different setup. But mine was the entire pick guard and you couldn't change individual pickups and the output was attached to each pickguard so you couldnt keep playing like you did here. Truly amazing design!
It’s about time someone came up with a more modern , usable and quick to set up guitar. Yes old school is good but this design is awesome. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽🏁🎸
@@EngineeringTechnikcom Oh stop it. I have three Gibsons myself and I perfectly understand their value. Gibson were true pionneers and their legacy is immense. I'm simply calling out their modern BS marketing tactics. We all know they stopped innovating in the 60s or when they tried it was a failure. It's not like they'been thinking outside the box like these guys.
I don't even call that innovation. It's a bunch of complications that they introduced to inflate the price and basically kills the physics involved for a good sound. I don't even like the tone of that one. It sounds way too canny, it's basically a Hollowbody with no holes and a bunch of awkwardly placed metal parts and wiring. I mean, there's probably a good reason why it's the "Most advanced guitar that nobody knows about" It's probably even way cheaper to produce. Every guitar brand would be all over that concept if it brought anything to the table...
@@flipletape9706 It's more likely because every guitar maker don't actually want easily replaceable pickups. They can sell you a new guitar or sell you the pickups and make omens that way. It's not a coincidence that Gibson and Fender sell parts, they know they can make money off of you even if you cheap out on the guitar body itself. This guitar is actually bringing something new. I don't agree with the magnets myself, they could have also just made the part where the pickups are hollow to make they replaceable rather than the whole guitar but maybe there is some design reason why. Either way it's nice to actually see something new in-terms of guitar designs. I think the industry needs a real shakeup.
are u mad, robot is way cooler than this... i don't really care about changing pickups. Gibson is a solid design also, no aluminium in it, i will be all wood.
@Kaptain Kid i own a all metal guitar , it's the king buzzo standard from the 'Melvin's" the guitar is made by Electrical Guitar Company and its amazing, People who go on about tone wood and the tone comes from the wood are dumb.. Rob Chapman i think is the worst when it comes to wood making the tone of a guitar ..
@@rickeyryan303 well you obviously deny science because science says otherwise on the affects that different woods have on tonality. But hey you're entitled to believe in what you want, guess we luthiers are clueless and know nothing on construction and woods to use for bright to rich and thick tones in electric and acoustic guitar's. Oh and by the way, relish guitars are made of all wood except for the middle aluminum plate!
@@ThomasAntoniusOlsenJr.333 There has been no actual science published on the matter. I'm writing my thesis in guitar signal analysis and would love to read a study on this, if you're aware of one, please let me know. The closest I've seen to a serious academic publication is an article in the Journal of the Acoustic Society of America by some people in the Psychoacoustics department of Lancaster University, but they did a study on acoustic guitar back and side wood using the same top plate wood and the same construction type. It turned out that what kind of wood is used in the back and sides of an acoustic does not affect the sound of the instrument in that situation. In the analysis, the guitars had slight tonal variations that came down to the top plates not being the actual same piece of wood. They also had a large sample of guitar players come in and play them and they couldn't tell apart most of them, much less identify them by tone. They also made their recording database publicly available IIRC. It's a fascinating read, you might want to check that out. So the closest thing I've seen to science on the matter implies it's not true for electrics. Until I see an actual study that proves otherwise done by qualified academic professionals on electric guitars, I'll call nonsense on the whole e-guitar tonewood thing.
Relish should be giving you some kind of commission. This video made me want a Mary One when you first uploaded it and as of yesterday I finally have one on the way and due to arrive tomorrow morning.
This is like a guitar Q would have designed for James Bond, push the wrong button and somebody is gonna get hurt bad.The headstock has an Epiphone thing going on there. Really a 21st. century instrument.
I guess it's subjective. I was just thinking what a contrast between the more forward thinking features under the hood and the conservative aesthetic it presents on the face. The headstock does look very Ephiphoney - and that's 19th century design.
These are similar to Somnium Guitars which I believe are from Nashvile. With the Somnium you can change from single coil to humbucker and any config in-between. You can even take the wings off if you want. There's videos on Justin Johnson's channel, and in my opinion at least, they look a better than the Relish. Similar concept with a metal exoskeleton but the pickups are in like a cartridge.
@@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy yep Somnium Guitars, was thinking the same. Their system looks even more practical to me, for example to swap during a gig, as you don't have a back to remove. Also you can use a dual pickup cartridge, or two singles, as you prefer. And you can install and remove pickups in the empty cartridges by yourself, without soldering. The aluminium sustain frame on this Relish looks very interesting tho, and the piezo too.
Man, I'm pissed but also in awe. For years, I have drawn up plans for a simple setup system like this. Removable back that has access to everything and just popping off things and replacing them, a toggle switch between the electric pickups and a piezo; all of it. Kinda pisses me off somebody else actually did it before me. At the same time, it's cool to see my dream guitar that I've always wanted to create has been now created. Glad to see the idea I've been drawing up for the past five years is not only well within the realm of possibility, but also exists in the real world. Then again, maybe I'm not the only one with this idea, oh well.
I looked up the price of a couple of models from Relish Guitars. The 'Mary' (the model shown in this vid.) list at 2599.00 USD, the 'Blue Jane Flamed' model, $5999.00 and the 'Platinum Edition' a whopping $13600.00. What makes the Platinum model significantly more expensive, is that platinum is 'sprinkled' throughout the finish. While increasing the aesthetics (and price), it probably has little to no effects on the sound characteristics. Aluminum, a soft metal, is a curious choice for the sub-frame because of it poor resonance properties. However, it could be alloyed with other metals, that could have more desirable characteristics, I suppose. One of the reasons that aluminum is not used in tuning forks, for instance (musical, anyway) - is that aluminum produces an abundance in overtones and the pure parent tone is subdued. Not necessarily a bad thing - as overtones in guitar tone woods vary and are subjective...although it may impact the attack and style of play. (more overtones lends itself to softer styles generally...as in classical or finger-picking and less overtones generally with more aggressive attack styles.) In resonance tests of various tubing materials, aluminum fell in between copper and PVC pipe...none of these materials known for out-standing acoustic properties. (Although Ovation Guitars use of a manufactured, resin-impregnated silicone fiber, its developers tagged as 'Lyrachord', has been in use since the 60s.) Relish may be a decent guitar, but I am a bit old-school - and if I am going to spend that kind of money on a guitar, I would rather have a 59 re-issue Gibson Les Paul or a 54, 60, 62 re-issue Strat. To me, there is just something about real wood in the construction of musical instruments, that is traditional and more appealing. Guitars don't need a lot of bells and whistles...they just need to sound good and play well. Still, others may like the innovations and if so - have at it.
I don't even like the tone of this one. Sounds really canny to me. I mean, so many parts obviously play with the acoustics... It's a hollow body with basically no resonance and a bunch of awkward wiring and metal pieces around and inside the soundboard, that has no hole...
@@johnaweiss Yes it does I would guess almost all electric guitars have a hollowed out space for electronics. I would not buy a cheap knockoff Chinese Electric Guitar or especially one like this one based on how it sounds on the speakers on my laptop...lol I would guess most people would go and play one or at least hear one in person before spending that kind of money unless they have a hell of a lot more money than me and that would not take a lot...lol
After 35 years of playing pedal steel, which in addition to a metal frame, also has metal "tuning rods" for the pedal changes; I wouldn't want to play outdoor concerts with this guitar. I believe tuning issues on hot July or cold October days would be unbelievable. For a studio player it has many great features.
Very interesting guitar. I like the overall look of it, also the concept. Definitely a conversation piece at a gig. I would hope for more sustain out of an instrument that expensive though.
Peavey essentially did this in the late 70’s with the Peavey T-60 and you simply ‘change pickups’ by dialing in the knobs and the neck is designed to be interchangeable with a Stratocaster Neck.
@@vonalxao1, I'm not sure why you say that. The first on board active circuits were on Vox and Burns bass guitars in the 1960's, which were British manufactured instruments, not American.
When he pulled those pickups out, it just blew my mind 😲, like whatttttttttttt, I was yes expecting from the time he opened the box and showed the pickups that it would be changeable pickups, but that is quick and impressive, just when I wasn't thinking on it, booom 😲
I know, that was amazing! My jaw literally dropped when he switched pickups in like 10 seconds. Normally it would take 15 minutes or more and take a lot of know how and effort. I honestly believe this guitar could help bring guitar into the modern age.
Excellent video and a well earned thumbs up. As for the guitar? Aluminium and plastic are not conducive to tone, warmth and character. Peter Green on his '59 Les Paul, BB on Lucille, George on Lucy, Clapton on Blackie, ... wood and a single set of decent pickups has served us well. Any more than that just messes with the magic..
the new one has a touchless pickup selector that you swipe like a iPad. The aluminum body is inspired by piano with its sustain block, BTW these guitar will save all the exotic trees that are getting chopped down at alarming rates. Also have interchangeable pickups , no soldering how cool.
the features the guitar offers are fantastic and super cool. personally, i'd like to see one that looks more like a traditional strat or tele. not that i could ever afford something like this but its still pretty cool.
they now offer the Trinity no piezo, solid wood (basswood which recently was voted top tonewood y Ernie ball) or Ash. Matte around $699 and glossy $999
Listening to pickups is the most dumb thing ever. Typically they differ in dynamics you need to put in through your fingers and your sound track to get results (in the same class of pickups). And the results could be the same on vastly different pickups, you just play differently, lol. It is like string gauges, they do not change sound really, but play feel is vastly different and the matter of preference.
Nope. Crank a low ouptut single coil thru a high gain amp and it's going to sound way skinnier than a high output humbucker. There are big differences.
Interestingly It was just the opposite for me... When he switched it, I was like wow, so much difference in clarity, and also in tone, I thought the Seymour Duncan was much better suited for high gain in this. So my first reaction was exactly the opposite of yours.
@@Yakez42 some guitarists inadvertently and subconsciously can pick out the difference in pickup sounds within fractions of a second, not to mention people who design and wind pickups for a living. As for strings i also disagree, there are certain strings i won't touch because they leave residue on my fingers and on my fretboards, and earnie ball is not the same as GHS or even Gibson brand strings which are mediocre, and there are so many that are even worse than earnie balls not only in sound but in comfort. Music is subjective but to say it's stupid to listen to any individual aspect of it is really the most dumb thing ever.
Honestly, better than some countries like in the far West of Switzerland and Germany, not being able to raggedly solving serious problems that really exist ...😁
They really went all out with the magnets. But isn't there any magnetic field interference with the pickups? Considering so many strong magnets are so close to the pickups, you'd think they would interfere with the signal input.
The wood and (I'm assuming) non-ferromagnetic aluminum alloy would decay the magnetic field to zero within millimeters. My assumption is that the magnets are epoxied in on their back (front of guitar) side, which further reduces any residual magnetic fields as well. TL;DR close to zero. Physics works.
Friggin crazy guitar...I remember way back thinking...wouldn't it be great to have pickups switchable and loadable into the guitar on the fly...I would love to see this technology implemented full on! Great video!
Very innovative! Love the idea, not partial to the body shape myself but hey, even guitars have to evolve (GASP) My only real issue is that the wiring looked a bit on the shoddy side. They should have taken a clue from good PC builders and sleeved and routed all cables in a clean, unobtrusive way.
I could just buy a Strat. Tele, and 335 for that price.I'd probably have better resale value too and the added vibe that the three guitars have in FEEL and sound.
Finely jeweled Swiss movement, aluminum body to last thousands of years, and magnets on the back cover to erase your credit cards and play hell on your phone, when you bend over trying to get the bridge pickup that fell out on a solo. These Swiss think of everything...
I am Swiss. And they think of money ^^ how to copy or steal those who have it, even the own people especially with ridiculous charges for nothing you get in return at all. Taxes are taken for no reason and nothing.... so please ^^ you should move to Switzerland and work here ;) if you are not closed-minded you are either extremely lucky in finding good friends or something is wrong I guarantee you
Hello Darrell, I wanted to write and and give you my thank you. Like many others, I have enjoyed and watched many guitar-themed TH-cam channels - many of them very very good with fantastic content and highly deserved of huge followings.

But you offer something very unique, beautiful, uplifting, inspiring, and atmosphere-changing which is this: your personality, your spirit, your countenance, and your expression. Maybe there’s a temptation to discount this gift to others and yourself so let me elaborate. It’s been beautiful to watch videos created by you and your colleagues in this guitar world and learn something new and be exposed to really really nice people. You shine in clarity of communication, expert knowledge, and personable (as well as professional) presentation. Just seeing your smiling face makes me feel better and then listening to your explanations and demonstrations is a joy. Undoubtedly you have made the same impression on your many subscribers and viewers. Whether this chapter of your life continues or a new chapter begins thank you for your personality and changing the atmosphere where you work. Thank you. And thank you God for giving you strength for going out and coming in, keeping His hand upon you and expanding your borders!
Have had my eye on them for a while. Incredible concept but at their price point they are competing with some PRS private stock guitars, but with a much smaller resale value. Still would love to try one..
Can't afford either but I'd have one of these over PRS any day. Yes PRS guitars are beautiful but I couldn't stand handing over that kind of cash when their big selling point is all that "tone wood" bs! This on the other hand are selling you something useful and beautiful. Id also get they don't make as much money out of each guitar than PRS do.
@@Yosser70 it is a fair point. I'm not even sure if PRS' selling point is tone wood or just "beautiful wood" (which seems where the main appeal is). I have a PRS 245, which is incredible, and I'm certain that for myself the only big upside of a private stock is how incredible they look. Well, in a perfect world I would just have one of each... dream on.
Nice! Wow...they've pushed the envelope! Personal preference...wish that body insert matched the shape of the guitar more closely... ...but I'd still take it. :)
Wow, great video! Part of my family is from Luzerne. Beautiful place. You are right - that region takes mechanical devices very seriously. The guitar seems very innovative. I realize the looks of the guitar are not for everyone, but I like it! Sounds great
this is the kind of thing I would expect to see at NAMM as a future prototype concept, like they do with concept cars: budget goes out the window and they let their freak R&D people flex their muscles and innovate. Then distill the concept into a practical commercial version. I think a pickup swap system is an awesome idea. even a more simple universal mount clip thing and a connector inside the electro-compartment would be ok and still 5 minutes fast. I must admit I would love to see some little magnet backplate things because those screws are EZ2 lose heh.
Justin Johnson was the first guy I saw play one of these, though his was by Somnium, and he did a 4 second pick up switch mid song. Very cool. That said I've never really been impressed by an "advanced guitar", it's the advanced guitar player that does it for me.
mel obrien Why would anyone even have to ask that question? Its the fool who fools himself. Some people enjoy writing major changes in songs makinh drastic changes in everything from key to TONE from one section to another. Ever seen a guitar player switch guitars mid song for the outro or transition? Yeah.....literally the exact same concept. That f word will do no good for you in this life, do yourself a favor and delete it from your vocabulary.
The only thing I dont like is how you wouldn't really be able to access the top frets easily unlike other guitars. Apart from that, best guitar i've ever seen
Thank you-now my 5 year old wants one for his birthday. I told him he probably has to wait until he grows up and can buy it himself. I’m not likely to get one for my birthday either.
Apparently it also requires a Swiss bank account to purchase one.
You can have one for a charge of 0 CHF. :)))
Dave Lawlis: Well said. LOL
Lol
Yup, for that kind of money I would just buy a PRS. I am not interested in swapping pickups on the fly and prefer the weight and feel of real wood.

I don't agree with the magnets myself, they could have also just made the part where the pickups are hollow to make they replaceable rather than the whole guitar but maybe there is some design reason why. Either way it's nice to actually see something new in-terms of guitar designs. I think the industry needs a real shakeup.
are u mad, robot is way cooler than this... i don't really care about changing pickups. Gibson is a solid design also, no aluminium in it, i will be all wood.
I've always wanted to change pickups during a chord! ha, no I've never had that thought. What a machine!
@Kaptain Kid i own a all metal guitar , it's the king buzzo standard from the 'Melvin's" the guitar is made by Electrical Guitar Company and its amazing, People who go on about tone wood and the tone comes from the wood are dumb.. Rob Chapman i think is the worst when it comes to wood making the tone of a guitar ..
@@rickeyryan303 well you obviously deny science because science says otherwise on the affects that different woods have on tonality. But hey you're entitled to believe in what you want, guess we luthiers are clueless and know nothing on construction and woods to use for bright to rich and thick tones in electric and acoustic guitar's. Oh and by the way, relish guitars are made of all wood except for the middle aluminum plate!
@@ThomasAntoniusOlsenJr.333 There has been no actual science published on the matter. I'm writing my thesis in guitar signal analysis and would love to read a study on this, if you're aware of one, please let me know. The closest I've seen to a serious academic publication is an article in the Journal of the Acoustic Society of America by some people in the Psychoacoustics department of Lancaster University, but they did a study on acoustic guitar back and side wood using the same top plate wood and the same construction type.
It turned out that what kind of wood is used in the back and sides of an acoustic does not affect the sound of the instrument in that situation. In the analysis, the guitars had slight tonal variations that came down to the top plates not being the actual same piece of wood. They also had a large sample of guitar players come in and play them and they couldn't tell apart most of them, much less identify them by tone. They also made their recording database publicly available IIRC. It's a fascinating read, you might want to check that out.
So the closest thing I've seen to science on the matter implies it's not true for electrics. Until I see an actual study that proves otherwise done by qualified academic professionals on electric guitars, I'll call nonsense on the whole e-guitar tonewood thing.
@Carrot Top i could handle it! 🤪👍🎸
Amazing, you put things next level! Even here from Europe, never heard of this sweet guitar! :-)
RV EUROPE ON TOUR I’m from Swiss and even I didn’t hear of this guitar
Darrell, you are becoming a kind of mad guitar scientist, and I love it! Thanks for finding this amazing axe for us buddy!
Relish should be giving you some kind of commission. This video made me want a Mary One when you first uploaded it and as of yesterday I finally have one on the way and due to arrive tomorrow morning.
how do you like it??
@@vaibhavkaza It's amazing in every possible way. It definitely lives up to the hype and the price tag.
For more critics video about this guitar (I didn't actually search for more than this video but I will and a want it)
This is like a guitar Q would have designed for James Bond, push the wrong button and somebody is gonna get hurt bad.The headstock has an Epiphone thing going on there. Really a 21st. century instrument.
I guess it's subjective. I was just thinking what a contrast between the more forward thinking features under the hood and the conservative aesthetic it presents on the face. The headstock does look very Ephiphoney - and that's 19th century design.
I got a fever, More Cowbell !!
Fun fact, if you go on the website and look at the models, they are all numbered, but they skip #007
@@BigRedRockBox Too funny!!!
Checking out one of the coolest and most versatile guitars on the planet! No weird gimmicks, just great ideas and flawless execution!
These are similar to Somnium Guitars which I believe are from Nashvile. With the Somnium you can change from single coil to humbucker and any config in-between. You can even take the wings off if you want. There's videos on Justin Johnson's channel, and in my opinion at least, they look a better than the Relish. Similar concept with a metal exoskeleton but the pickups are in like a cartridge.
@@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy yep Somnium Guitars, was thinking the same. Their system looks even more practical to me, for example to swap during a gig, as you don't have a back to remove. Also you can use a dual pickup cartridge, or two singles, as you prefer. And you can install and remove pickups in the empty cartridges by yourself, without soldering.
The aluminium sustain frame on this Relish looks very interesting tho, and the piezo too.
Leo Fender would have enjoyed to see that innovative guitar design if he was still alive.
I think he's rolling in his grave...
Yes but Leo's style has the edge.
woulda given him a good laugh to see how guitars can actually go backwards as musical instruments from his designs
I believe heard about magnets... and never considered suitable long term mount points.
He designed instruments that last 5 decades not 5 years.
For a good laugh, absolutely.
I'm from Argentina and a guitar teacher of mine go to live to Switzerland, now he work in Relish! I'm really proud!
Man, I'm pissed but also in awe.
For years, I have drawn up plans for a simple setup system like this. Removable back that has access to everything and just popping off things and replacing them, a toggle switch between the electric pickups and a piezo; all of it. Kinda pisses me off somebody else actually did it before me.
At the same time, it's cool to see my dream guitar that I've always wanted to create has been now created. Glad to see the idea I've been drawing up for the past five years is not only well within the realm of possibility, but also exists in the real world.
Then again, maybe I'm not the only one with this idea, oh well.
Anything that exists can be made better and improved upon. Keep dreaming and designing.
Dude, I want to hate on this guitar but I cant. Its truly a revolutionary masterpiece and sets a new standard in my opinion.
I hate it just on looks alone. I'm usually not that shallow but that thing is fugly.
@@bobsaturday4273 why are you just hating on everyone else who likes the guitar in the comments section
@@bobsaturday4273 wow, calm down...
It's nothing compared to a German Sky guitar.
This Guitar is sick!!! I kept rewinding the video to just before the case was open,and the pickups in the compartment...man,this thing is cool.
I looked up the price of a couple of models from Relish Guitars. The 'Mary' (the model shown in this vid.) list at 2599.00 USD, the 'Blue Jane Flamed' model, $5999.00 and the 'Platinum Edition' a whopping $13600.00.
What makes the Platinum model significantly more expensive, is that platinum is 'sprinkled' throughout the finish. While increasing the aesthetics (and price), it probably has little to no effects on the sound characteristics.
Aluminum, a soft metal, is a curious choice for the sub-frame because of it poor resonance properties. However, it could be alloyed with other metals, that could have more desirable characteristics, I suppose.
One of the reasons that aluminum is not used in tuning forks, for instance (musical, anyway) - is that aluminum produces an abundance in overtones and the pure parent tone is subdued.
Not necessarily a bad thing - as overtones in guitar tone woods vary and are subjective...although it may impact the attack and style of play. (more overtones lends itself to softer styles generally...as in classical or finger-picking and less overtones generally with more aggressive attack styles.)
In resonance tests of various tubing materials, aluminum fell in between copper and PVC pipe...none of these materials known for out-standing acoustic properties. (Although Ovation Guitars use of a manufactured, resin-impregnated silicone fiber, its developers tagged as 'Lyrachord', has been in use since the 60s.)
Relish may be a decent guitar, but I am a bit old-school - and if I am going to spend that kind of money on a guitar, I would rather have a 59 re-issue Gibson Les Paul or a 54, 60, 62 re-issue Strat.
To me, there is just something about real wood in the construction of musical instruments, that is traditional and more appealing.
Guitars don't need a lot of bells and whistles...they just need to sound good and play well.
Still, others may like the innovations and if so - have at it.
I don't even like the tone of this one. Sounds really canny to me. I mean, so many parts obviously play with the acoustics... It's a hollow body with basically no resonance and a bunch of awkward wiring and metal pieces around and inside the soundboard, that has no hole...
But doesn't this guitar contain lots of wood? I thought it's all wood, except for the hidden aluminum skeleton.
@@johnaweiss Yes it does I would guess almost all electric guitars have a hollowed out space for electronics. I would not buy a cheap knockoff Chinese Electric Guitar or especially one like this one based on how it sounds on the speakers on my laptop...lol I would guess most people would go and play one or at least hear one in person before spending that kind of money unless they have a hell of a lot more money than me and that would not take a lot...lol
A Glass guitar exists .
Type of wood and body makes no difference in sound; it's been proven wrong time and time again in multiple studies from my understanding.
About three days ago i said to myself " hot swap pickup " turn on youtube this morning and bang right there.
wow this is so cool! :O this should also be the only guitar to compare pickups against each other
After 35 years of playing pedal steel, which in addition to a metal frame, also has metal "tuning rods" for the pedal changes; I wouldn't want to play outdoor concerts with this guitar. I believe tuning issues on hot July or cold October days would be unbelievable. For a studio player it has many great features.
3000+ euros...
I'll wait for the Chinese version for like 300$.
The Trinity version is "only" $1699... Still expensive but not as bad as I was expecting after reading these comments.
Might be 300$ but it comes with the coronavirus !!!
@@cosmic_drew im pretty sure thats chf not usd

Very interesting guitar. I like the overall look of it, also the concept. Definitely a conversation piece at a gig. I would hope for more sustain out of an instrument that expensive though.
Me : **offers my kidney**
Guys at relish : "that's cute"
Relish: just throw it over there with the others...we'll sort them out later
@@scottmantooth8785 That's cute.
Relish Guitars Switzerland have people been requesting fishman pick ups?
@@linnsterlingcurebeliefinad1725 no one so far..
2 kidneys and one butt cheek.
Peavey essentially did this in the late 70’s with the Peavey T-60 and you simply ‘change pickups’ by dialing in the knobs and the neck is designed to be interchangeable with a Stratocaster Neck.
Why am I watching this ,I can't even play a single instrument
Just appreciation. I do it out of jealousy.
I liked that comment cuz u have watched death note
Is that L for Liberty?
I'm with you m8, I can whistle at least :)
Same no clue why im watching this, damn youtube always taking places I don't want to be, its like being kidnaped by the internet
Its like someone finally invented the semi automatic pistol... and all we've been using are single action revolvers all this time since the 1950's '_'
This is certainly nice, but compared to modern bass guitars with active electronics this still has a long way to go.
You must be American.
@@vonalxao1, I'm not sure why you say that. The first on board active circuits were on Vox and Burns bass guitars in the 1960's, which were British manufactured instruments, not American.
Mark Keneson it’s the gun comparison I was alluding to.
@@vonalxao1, oh, you were replying to the original post, sorry.
That neck/piezo pickup sounds so good
Shame he put the piezo through the amp. Piezo sounds best going directly to mixer/PA etc.
@@AdamMGuitar is the guitars electrics routed to be able to connect to an amp and D.I. at the same time though?
@@RealGengarTV I don't know about this one, others do!
Not really.
As far as I understand, the output jack is a TRS so with a TRS to dual mono output jack will output the piezo and humbuckers to separate the two
When he pulled those pickups out, it just blew my mind 😲, like whatttttttttttt, I was yes expecting from the time he opened the box and showed the pickups that it would be changeable pickups, but that is quick and impressive, just when I wasn't thinking on it, booom 😲
I know, that was amazing! My jaw literally dropped when he switched pickups in like 10 seconds. Normally it would take 15 minutes or more and take a lot of know how and effort. I honestly believe this guitar could help bring guitar into the modern age.
I've stumbled across your videos on different occasions, and I've enjoyed every one! Thanks for your work.
Excellent video and a well earned thumbs up. As for the guitar? Aluminium and plastic are not conducive to tone, warmth and character. Peter Green on his '59 Les Paul, BB on Lucille, George on Lucy, Clapton on Blackie, ... wood and a single set of decent pickups has served us well. Any more than that just messes with the magic..
very shallow tone for sure.
AMEN!!!! \m/
"What can you expect from a Swiss made guitar?" It keeps time beautifully?
Brian Publow 👍👍👍
@@gerardwadman9293 This one has a built-in Swiss metronome.
I was in the Seattle airport and a young musician was playing one........ sounded great...
Thanks for specifying whether this is a hollow body or a solid body for the non-visual people
Remember when most phones have removable backs? That's all I imagine If you accidentally drop it and everything falls out lol
Fool
Guitar flips not allowed
Good point
My phone still has a removable back and battery...
Wow blending with the piezo sounds beautiful
I know it's great isn't it!? These axes really do remind me a little of Godin guitars with that extra piezo pickup and such.
And it sounds BEAUTIFUL!
the new one has a touchless pickup selector that you swipe like a iPad. The aluminum body is inspired by piano with its sustain block, BTW these guitar will save all the exotic trees that are getting chopped down at alarming rates. Also have interchangeable pickups , no soldering how cool.
the features the guitar offers are fantastic and super cool. personally, i'd like to see one that looks more like a traditional strat or tele. not that i could ever afford something like this but its still pretty cool.
they now offer the Trinity no piezo, solid wood (basswood which recently was voted top tonewood y Ernie ball) or Ash. Matte around $699 and glossy $999
There goes my excuse for not bothering to change pickups...
This is a great example of how little difference a pickup makes at high gain.
Listening to pickups is the most dumb thing ever. Typically they differ in dynamics you need to put in through your fingers and your sound track to get results (in the same class of pickups). And the results could be the same on vastly different pickups, you just play differently, lol. It is like string gauges, they do not change sound really, but play feel is vastly different and the matter of preference.
@@Yakez42 But how much more skill does it require to play "differently"? That covers some territory. :-)
Nope. Crank a low ouptut single coil thru a high gain amp and it's going to sound way skinnier than a high output humbucker. There are big differences.
Interestingly It was just the opposite for me... When he switched it, I was like wow, so much difference in clarity, and also in tone, I thought the Seymour Duncan was much better suited for high gain in this. So my first reaction was exactly the opposite of yours.
@@Yakez42 some guitarists inadvertently and subconsciously can pick out the difference in pickup sounds within fractions of a second, not to mention people who design and wind pickups for a living. As for strings i also disagree, there are certain strings i won't touch because they leave residue on my fingers and on my fretboards, and earnie ball is not the same as GHS or even Gibson brand strings which are mediocre, and there are so many that are even worse than earnie balls not only in sound but in comfort. Music is subjective but to say it's stupid to listen to any individual aspect of it is really the most dumb thing ever.
Amazing guitar... thanks for showing it Darrell!
Dude I'd love to have one of those guitars. Sweet design.
Yeah the Swiss really do pay attention to extreme details.
Nice
I see this being very useful in a studio setting. It would be interesting to see how some bronze strings and an acoustic pickup would sound...
Probably like an acoustic guitar....

Honestly, I never dreamt the Swiss could compete with the Germans, for expertly solving problems that don't exist...I stand corrected!

They really went all out with the magnets. But isn't there any magnetic field interference with the pickups? Considering so many strong magnets are so close to the pickups, you'd think they would interfere with the signal input.
The wood and (I'm assuming) non-ferromagnetic aluminum alloy would decay the magnetic field to zero within millimeters. My assumption is that the magnets are epoxied in on their back (front of guitar) side, which further reduces any residual magnetic fields as well.
TL;DR close to zero. Physics works.
both pickups together in the middle position sound awesome
Friggin crazy guitar...I remember way back thinking...wouldn't it be great to have pickups switchable and loadable into the guitar on the fly...I would love to see this technology implemented full on! Great video!
Very innovative! Love the idea, not partial to the body shape myself but hey, even guitars have to evolve (GASP)
My only real issue is that the wiring looked a bit on the shoddy side. They should have taken a clue from good PC builders and sleeved and routed all cables in a clean, unobtrusive way.
Nice touch with the quick pick-up change whilst playing, very slick. Wicked
OMG Darrell!! This guitar is so awesome!!
No guitar has made me say, WOAH, that looks nice. This one did.
Ditto :)
wow , takes all kinds I guess
Looks into Paul reed smith guitars.
@@RoachMcToast did. Didn't like the looks
I could just buy a Strat. Tele, and 335 for that price.I'd probably have better resale value too and the added vibe that the three guitars have in FEEL and sound.
Finely jeweled Swiss movement, aluminum body to last thousands of years, and magnets on the back cover to erase your credit cards and play hell on your phone, when you bend over trying to get the bridge pickup that fell out on a solo. These Swiss think of everything...
I am Swiss. And they think of money ^^ how to copy or steal those who have it, even the own people especially with ridiculous charges for nothing you get in return at all.

Hello Darrell,
I wanted to write and and give you my thank you. Like many others, I have enjoyed and watched many guitar-themed TH-cam channels - many of them very very good with fantastic content and highly deserved of huge followings.
You most definitely fall into that category of these remarkable appealing youtubers. But you offer something very unique, beautiful, uplifting, inspiring, and atmosphere-changing which is this: your personality, your spirit, your countenance, and your expression. Maybe there’s a temptation to discount this gift to others and yourself so let me elaborate.
It’s been beautiful to watch videos created by you and your colleagues in this guitar world and learn something new and be exposed to really really nice people. You shine in clarity of communication, expert knowledge, and personable (as well as professional) presentation. Just seeing your smiling face makes me feel better and then listening to your explanations and demonstrations is a joy.
Undoubtedly you have made the same impression on your many subscribers and viewers. Whether this chapter of your life continues or a new chapter begins thank you for your personality and changing the atmosphere where you work.
Thank you. And thank you God for giving you strength for going out and coming in, keeping His hand upon you and expanding your borders!
Oh I can hear the tone wood folks SCREAMING!!!!! Lol Honestly it sounds good.
I thought the same ... wood purists announcing the end of the world in 3, 2, 1 ...
Wow, finally something really new.
This is worth every penny IMO, American brands should learn a bit from it. What it's expensive it's the guitar, not the name brand
I just fell in love with these guitars. pure genius.
Have had my eye on them for a while. Incredible concept but at their price point they are competing with some PRS private stock guitars, but with a much smaller resale value. Still would love to try one..
Can't afford either but I'd have one of these over PRS any day. Yes PRS guitars are beautiful but I couldn't stand handing over that kind of cash when their big selling point is all that "tone wood" bs! This on the other hand are selling you something useful and beautiful. Id also get they don't make as much money out of each guitar than PRS do.
@@Yosser70 it is a fair point. I'm not even sure if PRS' selling point is tone wood or just "beautiful wood" (which seems where the main appeal is). I have a PRS 245, which is incredible, and I'm certain that for myself the only big upside of a private stock is how incredible they look. Well, in a perfect world I would just have one of each... dream on.
Well... that guitar just sounds great in every mode! Amazing.
My guitar makes breakfast in the morning

Wow, great video! Part of my family is from Luzerne. Beautiful place. You are right - that region takes mechanical devices very seriously. The guitar seems very innovative. I realize the looks of the guitar are not for everyone, but I like it! Sounds great
Thanks...Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
We loove guitars
Congrats to the Swiss makers for its unique craftmanship
It’s like the modern version of the Danarmstrong guitars from the 60s/70s
Love the stock pickups,very interesting design,great video!
this is the kind of thing I would expect to see at NAMM as a future prototype concept, like they do with concept cars: budget goes out the window and they let their freak R&D people flex their muscles and innovate. Then distill the concept into a practical commercial version. I think a pickup swap system is an awesome idea. even a more simple universal mount clip thing and a connector inside the electro-compartment would be ok and still 5 minutes fast. I must admit I would love to see some little magnet backplate things because those screws are EZ2 lose heh.
Simple practical ideas made possible. Great video....
Justin Johnson was the first guy I saw play one of these, though his was by Somnium, and he did a 4 second pick up switch mid song. Very cool.
That said I've never really been impressed by an "advanced guitar", it's the advanced guitar player that does it for me.
Why would any fool want to change pickups mid-song?
mel obrien Why would anyone even have to ask that question? Its the fool who fools himself. Some people enjoy writing major changes in songs makinh drastic changes in everything from key to TONE from one section to another. Ever seen a guitar player switch guitars mid song for the outro or transition? Yeah.....literally the exact same concept. That f word will do no good for you in this life, do yourself a favor and delete it from your vocabulary.
The only thing I dont like is how you wouldn't really be able to access the top frets easily unlike other guitars. Apart from that, best guitar i've ever seen
@B4 freedomfighter Definitely most innovative. Its just a shame that this doesn't come in a 7 or 8 string model
Great idea about switching pickups. I was so much time in the studio putting 5 or six different pickups on my Himylayan Mustang squire copy.
Wow... that accented "out" in his speaking ("oot") is a dead give away this gentleman is Canadian... :-)
Nice video, overall.
He could be from Sheboygan, WI too. They say "oot" and "aboot".
Fine. I just go to this channel because his voice cures my depression.
interesting and beautiful design. Thanks Darrell
Captain Picard has one of this in his Vintage Collection. At his last Earth-Hollydays he bought it in Marseille at Belloq Antiquitées
Both pickups tone reminded me of a Pearl Jam B side, Strangest Tribe.
That guitar comes with some super special sauce! ... Relish!
Thank you-now my 5 year old wants one for his birthday. I told him he probably has to wait until he grows up and can buy it himself. I’m not likely to get one for my birthday either.
Beautiful guitars and beautiful playing. Great video and very informative ♡
