Last night I had a dream. I played what I’d call the best guitar ever. It was black and had an odd design like this, only with a compressible/foldable guitar neck. Weird I know. Then I check TH-cam and I see this. 😳
This is an example of companies replicating the Tonewood Amp with it already built into the guitar. If you haven't heard about it, you should check it out.
@@allwegot2373 I think this is cool, but having the Tonewood is so much better then this. Much more control over reverb actions, diff types of verb, delay , wah, chourus or distortion, leslie, and tremolo... all while being able to D.I. out of, and having individual DI settings... Not to mention, you actually get to play a REALLY nice guitar with it. Don't mistake this, I DO think the guitar is super cool, but relegated to a 'travel' guitar since it's small and durable.
This video is an ad for the guitar, it's a 13 minute commercial. The guitar company paid to have it promoted in people's recommendations. See the "#ad" above the video title?
The stronger/harder the material used to build an acoustic instrument, the better it will resonate and typically sound too. When Stradivarius was making his famous violins 300 some years ago, the world was going though what was called the "little ice age". It was so cold on several years the River Thames froze so thick Londoners would have a winter fair/festival with huge crowds on the river complete with shops, pubs and even fair rides. That long period of bitter cold made all the trees back then grow VERY slowly with incredibly tight growth rings and wood grain, making the wood much more dense and hard helping those violins sound even more amazing.
@@macgyver5108 To buy into your theory you have to believe the following: 1)that there was a mini ice age during the 30 to 50 year period before Antonio began building producing his instruments; 2) that trees in this vicinity were affected by mini ice age and resultingly had a slower growth rate 3) That the slower growth rate resulted in denser wood, 4) that Antonio sourced his lumber from those trees 5) and that the denser wood is responsible for the superb sound of his instruments. That's what we in the science field call theory stacking.
@@guckertott 1: Stradivarius examples were made starting in the 1680s, and his "Long Pattern" from 1690 to 1700... the "little ice age" started around 1450-1500 at the _latest_ and lasted into the 1800's. If your math sucks, that's almost 190 _years_ before he even got started, last I checked Spruce trees typically don't live that long Archimedes. 2: WHY would he use _Spruce_ that grew in Italy? Wait do Spruce even GROW in Italy??? And why would a good Luthier ("violin maker" for the lay...) source the "right wood" to make a "competitive" violin and the _best wood_ like _Alpine Spruce_ to make a masterpiece from a tree that doesn't even grow in ITALY??? 3: slow growing trees equals limited growth and more density, see your mirror for a pictorial example. 4: see 2 5: Google it... YT hates people posting hyperlinks to prove things. There's diver's that ply the depths of the Great Lakes between the US and Canada LOOKING for these dense growth ring old growth logs that sank 300 some years ago on their way to old sawmills, they charge an astronomical price per square "cubic inch" for that old wood. Again, Google why you make subwoofer boxes out of dense MDF vs cardboard.
Tried to motivate my daughter (5years old) to learn an instrument. Showed several videos with different instruments to her. But it was your video which convinced her the most. She absolutely wants to learn to play guitar. 🙂
Have you (and her) considered lesser known instruments? I play the Kravik lyre, and the hurdy gurdy is great for inspiring new people because its spnonteresting and unique.
As someone who was convinced (more like forced) by my parents to play an instrument, if she ends up wanting to stop, *let her*. Please. I am horribly depressed specifically because of being forced to play an instrument that I hate for 9 years. And don't try to force hour long practices on her. If she enjoys the instrument she will practice well and get better on her own, forcing her to practice endlessly so that she's a child prodigy makes playing the instrument a chore and tells her that you don't actually want her to play the instrument for anything but your amusement and so you can use her talent for your own self esteem boost. Thank you :) Sincerely, An experienced depressed person.
My guess would be giving a thumbs down to the frequent ADS which disrupt the video. She made a good vid but commercials every 2 1/2 minutes keep people from enjoying it. Like an unexpected poke in the eye just when you're getting into it!
The carbon fibre guitar sounds great....but I think a large part of that is the person who is playing. You make it sound fantastic! Glad I found this channel.
Finally...an acoustic guitar that won't eat your pick. And even if it does, all you have to do is tilt it so that the pick goes to the sound hole's corner. No more shaking it until the pick ends up at the center!
@@EnormousDaisey77 I'll look into it Edit: so... Took just a quick look and I'm already in the no's. Could be a much better guitar, for all I know.. but, not spending that much on one. Tad too expensive. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Stumbled here by accident, didn't get the joke. Finally being so intrigued I inquired who it was after reading some comments.... Had to come back to honor this great dad joke!
I love the way you’re responding to this guitar. Spontaneous and genuine, as your mind imagines what you could do with those amazing sounds. It is a pretty incredible guitar. And you’re the right person to showcase its tonal potential. Thanks for the cool vid.
7:06 I could listen to this piece all day, it sounds so soothing and peaceful. That little trick with the delay at 7:38 was fantastic, it really shows your musicality.
It's one of those perfect pieces of guitar music which (for me) sounds happy but makes me feel sad... but weirdly in kind of a good way... and it distinctly makes me think of a beach atmosphere. Mary, if you haven't turned this piece into a full song yet, you absolutely need too!

@@kalpanadas5476 awww why don't you check shit that is inside your own brainzz before checking it inside someone else's , you should get it. Kalpana ji 🙏
I like what they did with the sound hole. It reminds me of something I read about violins, that you get more power out of the instrument by increasing the perimeter of the sound hole, but you also get more power if you can keep a larger surface area on the face of the instrument. A longer, skinnier sound hole maximizes both of those things. Finally, putting it where they did keeps your hand from blocking it, so you'll always get full sound when you're playing acoustic.
Tried one today. The sound and feel put me almost in a meditative state of mind. I usually find steelstringed guitars’ string tension hard on my fingers, but this one was very comfortable for my dry, semi-old fingers. Money will be steered in this direction, when it (the money🔭) shows up.
Several years ago I had access to a carbon fiber guitar for about a week and spent a lot of time playing it. As the week progressed I spent more and more time playing it, to the point where in the morning it was the first thing I did - grab the guitar. Toward the end, knowing my time with it was short, I spent most of the day playing it. Foremost: This guitar had balance across the strings and up the neck unlike any guitar I've ever played. Nothing else is even close in my experience. Not one wolf tone/bad note anywhere on the neck. Perfect action. The balance causes each note in a chord, say a four-note jazz chord, to really stand out. Equally as impressive was the sustain. This guitar sang. The tone and loudness were impressive. You could push it and it still sounded beautiful. I have played many acoustic guitars from low end to high end and almost none could equal this guitar. Definitely none could equal its even tone and sustain throughout the range. Another interesting thing about carbon fiber guitars, is that people will push back on you, people who have never even played one! But that is human nature, ain't it? To all you pickers out there, especially acoustic pickers, I'd recommend trying out this type of guitar. I believe the guitar was a Composite Acoustics Legacy model. I'll affirm and get back to you. Thanks for the review!
I'm an acoustic fingerpicker, and I tell you that I could never play Country Blues on a carbon fiber guitar, no matter how "good" it would sound. Carbon fiber is a thing, WOOD is a completely different thing. It is a matter of "soul", and not of loudness, tone, sustain, etc., if you understand me. There will never be comparison at all. Try and play "John Henry" on a carbon fiber guitar... th-cam.com/video/qNmehE3h5Uw/w-d-xo.html
@@andsalomoni I think this mentality is really pretentious and doesn't hold water. If she played this exact song on this guitar, it would sound just as good. I won't argue that the type of material you play on impacts sound. I will argue that it's a bit disingenuous to say "there's no comparison at all." It's just two different sounds. What if someone preferred carbon fiber over wood? How would you argue with them my dude? You can't, because it's subjective anyways. You're welcome to your opinion but that's all it is.
@@joshuabuchanan9106 I never said that it is not subjective. I said that it is a matter of "soul". I can easily admit that a carbon fiber guitar has a more balanced and consistent sound, more sustain, etc. but I could not feel good playing "John Henry" or "Shake That Thing" on a carbon fiber guitar. It is the same difference as between a woman and a "Real Doll". "There is no comparison at all !"
I bought one after watching ths video. Ive had it for quite a while now. I never pick up my Martin, or my Rickenbacer. It is always "right there" When I hear a song and I wanna fiure it out" or play along I grab the Lava. So its funny looking. WHo aint? I had gotten burnt out on guitar. It was stale. I have been playing since 65. Yes I should be bettter. But this Lava takes me back to when It was New and Fun. Yes FUN. Its always fun. Good video Mary.
I am there at the playing for ages but not grtting anywhere. Looking to try these out fingers crossed. That said I have gone back to trying to record in cubase pro and using You Tube came across various videos that got me fired upa gain.. ...
7:10 Hey there pretty lady won’t you marry my dad you’re the perfect match, I think he’d make you laugh Please do it cus I want a mom so bad Mom so ba- I WANT A MOM LIKE THAT A MOM LIKE YOU CUS THE PAST MOMS I’VE HAD Never see it through You could be the one who stays (Thank you son, I’m proud of you. I’ll take it from here.) My boy is right, I’ve been all alone Just a father and son in a broken home I’ll leave my card at the end of the song If you’d like to take a date to the Duck and Waffle, yeah
This is the first carbon fiber guitar I've heard that I actually enjoy the sound of. Nice! And as far as the pricing of instruments go, I was surprised at how low this costs.
@@LordChimi Not a band you dumbass its called improvisation she is making it up on the spot but you keep believing that every song has to be pre made by a band...
@@stonedsavage7814 jesus christ your toxic the dude just wants to know if there is a band who made it so he can look them up and enjoy their music fuckin hell
This comment was perfect! I literally thought I'd be done after I bought my tele, then I needed a Taylor and I thought I was done, now I'm watching this 😂
I loved watching your facial expressions when it responded to your touch. I could see your excitement and pleasure as you tried everything out and experienced the response of the guitar. Now I want one. Thanks. ❤
It would seem the world is ending but listening to you play...it’s so good and relaxing. In this moment it feels like all is well. Cool guitar also ; )
only problem is an asshole named anish kapoor reserved the rights to use it. Look up Stuart Semple Black 2.0 and 3.0 for super black paint that everyone can buy.
Will be brilliant in certain weather conditions which would warp and de-tune most wooden guitars. I'm living in SE Asia and the humidity can vary strikingly which doesn't bode well for wooden instruments...
I've watched this video multiple times now, and it almost - comes within a razor's edge - persuades me to spend the money to get one. For an inept hobby guitarist, it would be hugely expensive, but "small," "light," "carbon fiber," "built-in FX" are all magical terms. Then add that there are common effects built right into it… well… it's hard to resist.
@@forzaazzurri101 maybe its YOUR mind that's perverted. What kind of person thinks it's perverted to enjoy her smiles and joy etc? What's more, people like you make being a man a misery these days. We can't even even look sideways at a woman without people like you calling us perverts. Maybe nobody looks at you enough?
@@rotegino7536 Not sure I even want to whistle at women, but we are all becoming demonised for even showing appreciation of a woman, or heaven forbid, some flirting! I think what I find the hardest, is how so many women instantly mistrust us if we try to help with anything. I stopped to offer a grandmother, her daughter, and the baby, a lift home when their car broke down on a busy road. They could not have been more nervous of me. They declined, even after I showed I was a well known tradesman. And don't even get me started if you even speak to a young lady! It's very sad how the 1% have ruined things for us good guys. :(
I just got one of these in the mail, been telling myself for months I don't need another guitar but I finally gave in for this one. I think the only thing I don't like about it is that there's no room in the case to store a strap or cable, it's such a nice instrument.
You can get a “ToneWood” amp that can be installed in any acoustic guitar for about $200. It will give those effects and you can also use it with apps for all kinds of other instrument sounds. Almost like a synthesizer.
The effects are the secondary feature of this guitar. A climate-proof carbon fiber instrument that actually SOUNDS decent is the innovation here. This fills the vacancy left by traditional guitars when it comes to "working" artists. Onboard pre-amps and piezo pickups... Nothing new.
I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing guitar ; you have me wanting one just for what it can do both in acoustic mode and with all the built in effects . Absolutely a must have !
I’m very much a purist, and have only ‘traditional’ style guitars (with the exception of a flying V), but this thing intriges me to the point where I may have to expand my collection with something new.
I accidentally clicked on this lol, and my first thought was wow, she seems like a really educated smart gal! and its not fake its genuine knowledge, then I seen your link to your song, and wow you have a very good voice! you have the perfect voice for a really powerful meaningful gospel or contemporary song, like lauren dagle or similar, if you ever do one let me know Id love to listen to it, your style and voice is hypnotic and very absorbing ! great job! I would love to hear you redo the song, oceans (where feet may fail) but in your own rendition style! let me know if you ever do I want to hear it, Ill subscribe!
For an accoustic/electric it's really not bad. Amazon has them for $700, which is a relative bargain compared to what you can spend on new guitars that don't have a lot of the perks that this does.
Even better than the guitar, I enjoyed watching you enjoying your own playing..... like the music was just falling out of your fingers and you were a spectator like me. That is real talent.
Even leaving out the CF composition, that's a pretty good price for a guitar that sounds that good. Add in that it's built like a tank, and it becomes _the_ obvious pick for traveling guitar teachers.
I’d happily drop $599 on one of these but (outside of AliExpress) can’t find it for under $699 and, for whatever reason, the black finish is several hundred to a thousand more now.
A bottom of the line C.F. Martin would make this sound like the junk it is. The reason professionals dont play carbon fiber guitars, is because they sound like this one. Absolute crap.

I've been following you for some time and I don't think I've commented before. It dawned on me while watching this. That every time I see one of your video's and watch you play. It makes my day that bit better and cheers me up. Thxs...
It's $800. That's extremely affordable as far as quality guitars go, especially for something unique like this. It's about as much as a mid-range Epiphone or Fender Stratocaster. If you're seriously looking to purchase a nice guitar but you're also on a budget, then you're probably looking to spend somewhere between $500-$1000. Of course you can go cheaper or more expensive, but that price range is pretty typical.
To be honest, when I clicked on this video I didn’t expect to be impressed either, but WOW. I figured the carbon fiber would have a bit of a “dead” sound but the tone is actually quite pleasing. And then the pickup and effects built in just add to it. What a handy travel guitar!
I shared this with a friend who does solo appearances regularly. He’s been expanding his guitar selection and this one might fit into where he’s going. I thought your comment about the carbon fiber not changing with the weather was important, especially where I live and the humidity goes through massive swings from season to season.

suwat s,
"I'll have what she's having."
I like what they did with the sound hole. It reminds me of something I read about violins, that you get more power out of the instrument by increasing the perimeter of the sound hole, but you also get more power if you can keep a larger surface area on the face of the instrument. A longer, skinnier sound hole maximizes both of those things. Finally, putting it where they did keeps your hand from blocking it, so you'll always get full sound when you're playing acoustic.
Tried one today. The sound and feel put me almost in a meditative state of mind. I usually find steelstringed guitars’ string tension hard on my fingers, but this one was very comfortable for my dry, semi-old fingers. Money will be steered in this direction, when it (the money🔭) shows up.

I have fishman fluence pickups and a battery pack in one of my strats, so yeah I actually have to charge my guitar hahahahaha
I could listen to you play that thing all day.
I really enjoyed the pieces you played on this guitar with the reverb. Soooo good!
Several years ago I had access to a carbon fiber guitar for about
a week and spent a lot of time playing it. As the week progressed I spent more and more time
playing it, to the point where in the morning it was the first thing I did - grab the guitar. Toward
the end, knowing my time with it was short, I spent most of the day playing it.
Foremost: This guitar had balance across the strings and up the neck unlike
any guitar I've ever played. Nothing else is even close in my experience. Not
one wolf tone/bad note anywhere on the neck. Perfect action. The balance
causes each note in a chord, say a four-note jazz chord, to really stand out.
Equally as impressive was the sustain. This guitar sang.
The tone and loudness were impressive. You could push it and it still sounded beautiful.
I have played many acoustic guitars from low end to high end and almost none could equal
this guitar. Definitely none could equal its even tone and sustain throughout the range.
Another interesting thing about carbon fiber guitars, is that people will push back on you,
people who have never even played one! But that is human nature, ain't it?
To all you pickers out there, especially acoustic pickers, I'd recommend trying out
this type of guitar.
I believe the guitar was a Composite Acoustics Legacy model. I'll affirm and get back to
you. Thanks for the review!
I'm an acoustic fingerpicker, and I tell you that I could never play Country Blues on a carbon fiber guitar, no matter how "good" it would sound.
Carbon fiber is a thing, WOOD is a completely different thing. It is a matter of "soul", and not of loudness, tone, sustain, etc., if you understand me.
There will never be comparison at all.
Try and play "John Henry" on a carbon fiber guitar...
th-cam.com/video/qNmehE3h5Uw/w-d-xo.html
@@andsalomoni I think this mentality is really pretentious and doesn't hold water. If she played this exact song on this guitar, it would sound just as good. I won't argue that the type of material you play on impacts sound. I will argue that it's a bit disingenuous to say "there's no comparison at all." It's just two different sounds. What if someone preferred carbon fiber over wood? How would you argue with them my dude? You can't, because it's subjective anyways. You're welcome to your opinion but that's all it is.
@@joshuabuchanan9106 I never said that it is not subjective. I said that it is a matter of "soul". I can easily admit that a carbon fiber guitar has a more balanced and consistent sound, more sustain, etc. but I could not feel good playing "John Henry" or "Shake That Thing" on a carbon fiber guitar. It is the same difference as between a woman and a "Real Doll". "There is no comparison at all !"

The 1975 - If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know)
I bought one after watching ths video. Ive had it for quite a while now. I never pick up my Martin, or my Rickenbacer. It is always "right there" When I hear a song and I wanna fiure it out" or play along I grab the Lava. So its funny looking. WHo aint? I had gotten burnt out on guitar. It was stale. I have been playing since 65. Yes I should be bettter. But this Lava takes me back to when It was New and Fun. Yes FUN. Its always fun. Good video Mary.
Damn thats pretty cool to hear
I am there at the playing for ages but not grtting anywhere. Looking to try these out fingers crossed. That said I have gone back to trying to record in cubase pro and using You Tube came across various videos that got me fired upa gain..
...
Have u put bronze acoustic strings on it or just sterl electric strings. Wondering if acoustic bronze would work or how they would sound.
@@danielrains2055 She has on bronze in the video, so I am assuming they work on it quite well lol.
Does the built-in microphone pick up body sounds like taps and slaps? I like to add bits of guitar percussion when looping.

@@tomandalbert as far as digital guitars go this is pretty fuckin amazing
The look of absolute joy when you tried out the delay made my day 😁 Awesome 👏👏
I love 7:01 - 8:15. Very calming. Well done
This is the first carbon fiber guitar I've heard that I actually enjoy the sound of. Nice! And as far as the pricing of instruments go, I was surprised at how low this costs.

Me after finally getting a Telecaster: "I'm pretty happy with my current collection of guitars."
Me after watching this video: "goddammit"
This comment was perfect! I literally thought I'd be done after I bought my tele, then I needed a Taylor and I thought I was done, now I'm watching this 😂
Relax you're all set.
Having never owned a guitar, now I want to learn so I can justify buying this O_O
Beer Stuff, can never have enough guitars. Or beer.
Amen.
I loved watching your facial expressions when it responded to your touch. I could see your excitement and pleasure as you tried everything out and experienced the response of the guitar. Now I want one. Thanks. ❤
The music at the end was great, wish there was a 10 hour loop on this guitar, sounds remarkable
It would seem the world is ending but listening to you play...it’s so good and relaxing. In this moment it feels like all is well.
Cool guitar also ; )
Sounds great. Can we get a video of just you playing this for an hour? It was so good.
That delay function is amazing! Love the piece you played as well 👌🏻
I like it also which reminds me Enya NEXG has the same sound effect onboard.
this sounds incredibly relaxing
They should come out with a vanta-black version... "none more blacker carbon fiber edition"
Could eliminate need for an obvious sound hole on that version as well!
only problem is an asshole named anish kapoor reserved the rights to use it. Look up Stuart Semple Black 2.0 and 3.0 for super black paint that everyone can buy.
I was kinda put off by the look initially. But then you hit the on switch, what an awesome sound!
Great Vid!
Yeah not too thrilled with the aesthetic. Sounded its best when plugged in, very nice.
Ya. Me too. I guess it is an acquired taste kind of "situation". Hey, with enough time, I'll bet Mary could find ME attractive! ;-)
I am with you. I am on their site now. I need one of these.
it's gorgeous like a stealth fighter
Whaaat? I personally really dig the aesthetic. It's so simple looking.
7:41 The look on your face when you discovered that sound is priceless
I love seeing people passionate by playing music. The face when playing is just the happiest. 😎
I’d be interested to hear someone play this guitar “Spanish” style.

@@besideQ Bruh not every black guitar is this guitar.
@Pam Botts lmfao are you stupid?
Will be brilliant in certain weather conditions which would warp and de-tune most wooden guitars. I'm living in SE Asia and the humidity can vary strikingly which doesn't bode well for wooden instruments...
I've watched this video multiple times now, and it almost - comes within a razor's edge - persuades me to spend the money to get one. For an inept hobby guitarist, it would be hugely expensive, but "small," "light," "carbon fiber," "built-in FX" are all magical terms. Then add that there are common effects built right into it… well… it's hard to resist.
Those giddy smiles and childlike enjoyment. Love it! :)
pervert imo
@@forzaazzurri101 maybe its YOUR mind that's perverted.
What kind of person thinks it's perverted to enjoy her smiles and joy etc?
What's more, people like you make being a man a misery these days. We can't even even look sideways at a woman without people like you calling us perverts.

@@rotegino7536 Not sure I even want to whistle at women, but we are all becoming demonised for even showing appreciation of a woman, or heaven forbid, some flirting!
I think what I find the hardest, is how so many women instantly mistrust us if we try to help with anything.
I stopped to offer a grandmother, her daughter, and the baby, a lift home when their car broke down on a busy road. They could not have been more nervous of me. They declined, even after I showed I was a well known tradesman. And don't even get me started if you even speak to a young lady! It's very sad how the 1% have ruined things for us good guys. :(
I'm very, very impressed by how it sounds. Kind of mind-blowing actually! Love it.
OMG, it looks so light and smooth, I wanna try it!!!
I just got one of these in the mail, been telling myself for months I don't need another guitar but I finally gave in for this one. I think the only thing I don't like about it is that there's no room in the case to store a strap or cable, it's such a nice instrument.
I don’t even play guitar, but now I want to buy this and learn.
You really should!!
I agree with you. I'm going to pick this up and learn
Yes and buy one for me too, so I can learn too!
Just signed up and man, fingers! Re watching this video to stay motivated 😂😂😂
The video is an ad so there are probably lots of negative things she hasn’t told you about this - i say buy a cheaper one tbh
5:48 dude that “Hah” SAME I FELT THAT
You can get a “ToneWood” amp that can be installed in any acoustic guitar for about $200. It will give those effects and you can also use it with apps for all kinds of other instrument sounds. Almost like a synthesizer.
The effects are the secondary feature of this guitar. A climate-proof carbon fiber instrument that actually SOUNDS decent is the innovation here. This fills the vacancy left by traditional guitars when it comes to "working" artists. Onboard pre-amps and piezo pickups... Nothing new.
I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing guitar ; you have me wanting one just for what it can do both in acoustic mode and with all the built in effects . Absolutely a must have !
I like that guitar very much which also reminds me another guitar called NEXG produced by Enya, it's also very cool and has that sound effect!!
Carbon is the backbone of life, and that guitar is a diamond in the rough. Amazing instrument.
Mary you just killed in on this guitar, the sound you made was so soothing and dreamy, love listening to you.
So happy Value Select sent me here. This is such a neat guitar! Can't wait to watch more of your vids! Gnarly!

Not saying its much but thats kinda the standard for guitars (and instruments alike)
Glen Balok It is much cheaper in China~
Honestly though, that's pretty affordable when it comes to quality guitars.
If only all people on TH-cam did reviews as thoroughly, thoughtfully and succinctly as this. ✅
I’m very much a purist, and have only ‘traditional’ style guitars (with the exception of a flying V), but this thing intriges me to the point where I may have to expand my collection with something new.

I accidentally clicked on this lol, and my first thought was wow, she seems like a really educated smart gal! and its not fake its genuine knowledge, then I seen your link to your song, and wow you have a very good voice! you have the perfect voice for a really powerful meaningful gospel or contemporary song, like lauren dagle or similar, if you ever do one let me know Id love to listen to it, your style and voice is hypnotic and very absorbing ! great job!

*Checks Price*
Bank account: you thought
I feel you
For an accoustic/electric it's really not bad. Amazon has them for $700, which is a relative bargain compared to what you can spend on new guitars that don't have a lot of the perks that this does.
@@Hickeroar Didn't say it was expensive, but it still costs a lot of money I don't have.
@@zaanredelinghuys191 Ah, fair enough.
Living in a place where the average salary is 350 usd I would say 800 bucks is a pretty good price for this awesome guitar
Even better than the guitar, I enjoyed watching you enjoying your own playing..... like the music was just falling out of your fingers and you were a spectator like me. That is real talent.
$599 USD for the acoustic model is a steal compared to what others are charging for CF guitars.
Even leaving out the CF composition, that's a pretty good price for a guitar that sounds that good. Add in that it's built like a tank, and it becomes _the_ obvious pick for traveling guitar teachers.
Have a link for where to get one?
Don Nguyen She has a link to the actual website and a link to amazon where you can get it for around $699 in the description
I’d happily drop $599 on one of these but (outside of AliExpress) can’t find it for under $699 and, for whatever reason, the black finish is several hundred to a thousand more now.
A bottom of the line C.F. Martin would make this sound like the junk it is. The reason professionals dont play carbon fiber guitars, is because they sound like this one. Absolute crap.

I've been following you for some time and I don't think I've commented before. It dawned on me while watching this. That every time I see one of your video's and watch you play. It makes my day that bit better and cheers me up. Thxs...
That is a wonderful first comment. And I feel the same.
Agree with that!
I am kinda reminded of a sweet carbon bicycle when I see this guitar ..I wonder if that resonates with you ; )
Yep, I agree
fjf sjdnx my dude, you can’t go around pointing and choosing how someone looks and lecturing them on how they should change. Don’t ignore this:)
Yup. I will never forget the first time I played a carbon guitar. It sounded like a cross between a piano and a hammer dulcimer. And I loved it!
This was nice. It had an ethereal sound yet nostalgic.

"It looks expensive." Checks amazon. Yes.
It's really not bad, considering a top-of-the-line Martin or Taylor starts at $4K, depending on specs.
It's $800. That's extremely affordable as far as quality guitars go, especially for something unique like this. It's about as much as a mid-range Epiphone or Fender Stratocaster.
If you're seriously looking to purchase a nice guitar but you're also on a budget, then you're probably looking to spend somewhere between $500-$1000. Of course you can go cheaper or more expensive, but that price range is pretty typical.
@Auracle its 800 that price is for the uke version
I believe she's playing the small version which when I looked online is roughly 60 dollars
@Auracle where are you seeing it for that price?
Love the sound from it. The available splashes of reverb and delay are nice, too.
To be honest, when I clicked on this video I didn’t expect to be impressed either, but WOW. I figured the carbon fiber would have a bit of a “dead” sound but the tone is actually quite pleasing. And then the pickup and effects built in just add to it. What a handy travel guitar!
THIS seems like a nice couch guitar for composing music with or to bring anywhere :-) nice one, thanks!
I shared this with a friend who does solo appearances regularly. He’s been expanding his guitar selection and this one might fit into where he’s going.
I thought your comment about the carbon fiber not changing with the weather was important, especially where I live and the humidity goes through massive swings from season to season.
