dude that is one siiiiick guitar. Love that you went stainless steel on the frets... I could tell how you were bending from the first few notes that that thing must bend like butter. Beautiful finish obviously, i was impressed with the tonal range, the splits you were getting were realllly nice. Id be curious to see how it did behind some modern dj0nt setup like a 5150 type amp with a tubescreamer in front of it.
I do not believe I have ever seen a guitar with that kind of shape before! The depth is interesting, and it does sound radical indeed! Appreciate the work man!
Darrel you appreciate the Italian instruments! In this country is so hard to work with musical instruments. Here we have great instruments builders and thank a lot to appreciate their job in particular in this not too much good period for Italy!
That is simply a beautiful piece of art. It looks gorgeous, it sounds amazing, and as soon as you're through with it, just mail with my way. LOL! I do appreciate you bringing these small builders out like this. I would have never heard of this company, but they obviously deserve the attention. What an amazing instrument.
It's a very great time for small upcoming builders to reach their target buyers through the internets. If you search you can find little treasures making your perfect match. There is great competition also so great guitars are out there instead of just treading the beaten path of your local stores and buying something you were never 100% happy with. Small builders are more inclined to change things up for you also if you show you are serious about parting with your cash. It's always better to speak with the luthiers than the the guy in the store who knows all about what stock they have in right there and then. If you buy your guitar and are thrilled with it they become a 'life time keeper' and you play them with a small collection of guitars that always sound just the way you wanted in your minds ear. I have a few like my Ibanez RG750 from '93 and my Gibson M-III with the black ebony finish. I had the coils wound with a little more wire which made the already great sounding generic ceramics sound darker and more powerful also I had it refretted with very tall vintage stainless steel (not jumbo wire) and shaped on a 'PLEK' machine giving the best action I could of wished for.
You guys are trying to pinpoint the style and can't. That's because it's a Valenti Nebula. Not another knockoff. I could say it looks a bit like my Jackson, or has a hint of my brother inlaw's Washburn, but it's none of the above. Give the kudos to the amazing builder that created it.
Some of your tastiest playing I’ve ever heard, this guitar looks and sounds incredible and I can tell it is just a joy to play. Gonna have to check into Valenti, super impressed
Luigi Valenti used to work at Crimson Guitars in the UK for some period before moving back to Italy and starting his own company. Very talented guy and a metalhead as well ;)
Your channel is by far my favourite guitar channel on youtube. Your enthusiasm is what makes it. Its never "they sent me a guitar, heres my general feedback that I give on all my other videos". You made me love guitar again man. So thank you.
Just a thing of beauty!! Sounds incredible, looks incredible and plays like a gem Derell. Spanky strat tones and beefy humbuckers. The perfect superstar solo machine! 🎸🎵
Looks like all Valenti models have the open truss rod pocket, although some photos show a cover in place. I'd say it needs a cover, otherwise that is one bad lint collector with the raw wood snagging any debris floating nearby and once snagged only compressed air will clean it right out. Otherwise it's gorgeous and sounds awesome, nicely designed and constructed. Thanks for another great review Darrell! Stay safe everyone.
Yes, with audiences throwing eggs, tomatoes, lettuce - I hate to end up with a caesar salad gunking up my truss rod bolt. "Gee - ya think all that still tastes OK?" Of course, this is why God invented bass players. "Here - you try it first."
I love how honest guitars sound with your editing. Never overly processed. I feel like you're a real audiophile to be able to keep things sounding so organic through a TH-cam video.
I love these series. It is great to support small builders. It seems they care more about their instruments and their customers and you can get what you like for a decent price.
Thank you for showing this to us. I support the smaller manufacturer of craftsmanship, especially when it is this good. I emailed them on the details on two models. Received info quickly and am setting the purchase. So thanks again for presenting, supporting companies like this.
I've never seen a neck joint sculpted so beautifully before. And that top! Goes without saying that the tones you were getting out of the guitar were pretty tasty.
Woah, its beautiful!! This is the first time i've ever looked at the back of a guitar and thought how nice it looks too! Incredible work of art for sure, and it sounds amazing too!
Wow!!! This guitar is amazing, funny that i live 30 minutes from these guys and have never heard of them. Hope I can go visit them when this will be over.
She is an absolute beauty, Darrell. The shade of blue goes nice with the black fretboard and I'm not usually a fan of carved tops, but it looks fantastic...and she sounds like butter!
One of the best sounding guitars you've demo'd, very PRS type philosophy, love the violin carved top. Not mad about the satin black back, seems like it'll date quickly.
I’m in awe...I want one of these. Love the neck finish and the color, the gold hardware and the nut/headstock looks great too. Sounds awesome. I liked the neck HB the best.
Not typically a fan of blue guitars but OMG, what a gem! I'm actually drooling. Please may I have your job please? I'll give you all of my Epiphones. I'm so jealous! Love your videos, thank you DBG! Keep on truckin'!...Lucky bastard.
In the beginning: Oh nice! a affordable guitar i can buy, wich looks awsome. In the middle: damn this is gonna be more expensive, ether way, i'll try it. At the end: damn custom shop? no way i can afford this...
Just wow. That guitar sounds and looks better than any Gibson (I'm a fan) Fender or PRS. Damn. Definitely a piece of art. The paper work it's a 10+ points. Have to mention that you play very smooth and enjoyable.
I love these types of finish. If the grain is good like quarter sawn then It is essential to make it pop out. I love all the blues and greens or turquoises colours. They always look timeless to me when it is done right. I also love the greys to blacks as it gives a classic look also. Mayones from Poland have done great examples of this and I look at their finishes as sort of a grading quality to go by. They are very expensive though.
One of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever seen but to be honest I really wasn’t digging the tone don’t know if it’s your amp settings or pick ups really pretty though
Schaller sureclaw, want one of those for my guitar, just never got round to it. It's details like this that speak volumes about the builder. I'd love to be able to afford one of these.
heya Darrell, first let me say I really dig the new intro but I do miss that pick slide across the table.(pickers know what I mean)That has to be in the top three guitars I've ever seen and heard.Every aspect of it has been done flawlessly.Surely there has to be a sweet looking truss rod cover but even that doesn't take too much from the overall esthetics. Keep'em comin' groover :)
Imagine if Gibson or Fender produced this? Besides all the flaws those companies are known for on their high end they would undoubtedly charge like $12,000+
I gotta say Darrell - I already have massive envy at your guitars, the one with the aluminium body and swapable pickups still has me daydreaming, and I've already spent twice my lifetime budget on guitars... but that one is something sexy. The light blue and white flame, and the carve and neck... just ridiculous.
When i see this kind of guitars, and then i check the big mass producing brands, this lastones look so boring. Great guitar ! Yo know what would look great ? If just the part of the volute would be satin black as the body, just for a touch.
I love when you do this. In a world of knockoffs, there are still those of us with the creative chops to bring amazing original guitars to the world. You don't need Gibson or Fender to "Play Authentic". Kudos to Valenti.
I played that guitars and I can just say that's amazing instruments! In my opinion they give their best in clean-funky tones! Great feeling over that neck! \m/
At that price i would have expected a truss rod cover! Sounds a bit edgy and thin to my ears, it looks great, but for this sort of money i would want a better sound.
i thought i subscribed last year.....oops subscribed for sure now! love this channel. inspiring. helped me learn (as well as other artists) that its not a sport. Your your own critic and can build it to YOUR liking. love the work
I love the illusion of thinness created by the satin black rear, it like to see the same design transition into the neck seamlessly but I guess it could compromise the neck and would be very hard to pull off. Basically single piece or proportional scaling to make it look like it's natural extension of the body.
That intro can cure Coronavirus. I'm sure of it.
Billy Joe Mac Allister what do you do?
Loving the new intro. What a stunner - very unique. I would have gone gun metal hardware over gold though.
@@aaronexists4308 - wouldn't everyone die if there was no cure, since it relies on the host and therefore reproduces?
Yes there is no antidote for it yet. But your immune system in majority people cures it.
We should call it "Made in china wuhan Coronavirus"
The crafting hammer might give some people a heart attack though.
That neck tho
Love a good satin neck
Navi’s skin!
Thats from scar my guitar? Correct?

I do not believe I have ever seen a guitar with that kind of shape before! The depth is interesting, and it does sound radical indeed! Appreciate the work man!
those sharp edges around the body would be very easy to chip . Better not bump them on anything solid .
Shape is very similar to a Charvel DK 22/24

I really was not prepared for that intro.
“The build quality is excellent.” I see you are a man gifted in understatement. 😛
It's like he's Canadian or something
It's like a Ibanez mixed with a Paul Reed Smith, but better
That was my first thought when i saw it...
The neck finish reminds me of a PRS se acoustic i saw at guitar center once.
I would add with a gretsch, because of the pickups.
They look like Filtertrons.
José Henrique that’s exactly what I was thinking when I saw it. It has the shape and pick ups like an Ibanez but the body of a prs

That is probably the nicest guitar build I've ever seen. What a stunner!!!!!!1
It's off the hook and it sounds deadly!!
@dlux Check out Valenti Guitars. There are other even more beautiful.
Some of your tastiest playing I’ve ever heard, this guitar looks and sounds incredible and I can tell it is just a joy to play. Gonna have to check into Valenti, super impressed
One week of self-quarantine and Darrell's gone mad 😵
You can’t keep doing this Darrell my wallet hurts
I know how you feel bruv... My credit card's gone into hiding.
My heart says yes, my wallet says no. 😂
I've bought 3 guitars in the last month because of this guy..... expect a bill in the mail.
My wallet died long ago
How many guitars would I have to sell to get one of these? Maybe not.
This is honestly the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen, this is my dream guitar, definitely going to spend the next few years saving up for this
Holy hell that finish is effin gorgeous. I’m seriously in love lol
Luigi Valenti used to work at Crimson Guitars in the UK for some period before moving back to Italy and starting his own company. Very talented guy and a metalhead as well ;)
Thanks for the video,
Wow, what a beautiful piece of work. Sounds like a sunrise and sunset at the same time. Thanks again

That massive detail but wide open truss cover....I'd add a gold door. Heheh.

Yep, I'd want a truss pocket cover too. Just does not look finished yet.
What I do - After spending 23 years with A Les Paul Custom - I stick sound deadening material into that hole.
I noticed that too.
I love how honest guitars sound with your editing. Never overly processed. I feel like you're a real audiophile to be able to keep things sounding so organic through a TH-cam video.
This Valenti and Overdrive r meant for each other, those overdriven tones literally gave me chills
Been following this company for a few months. Nice to see you cover them!
I saw the name “Valenti Nebula” and thought
“It just *sounds* expensive”
And it is ...
5k
everything about this guitar just screams comfort and style. absolutely love this guitar
When you flipped that pickup switch and started playing at the 5:25 I swear I was listening to Santana. Killer dude!
Same here !
At 5:40 the descending riff: i heard that somewhere . . . Got it! Funtwo Canon Pachelbel wrap-up.
its lovely, beautiful guitar with amazing warm tone... lovin' it
Awesome guitar, Italy has some great luthiers. My guitar is from Poland from a company called Mayones (yes it's an instrument Patrick)
Aren't those Mayones -guitars hella expensive? I remember them being ones of those "even more high-end than high-end" guitars.
@@wildersound I mean, they go from around 1500-2000 euros to an annual income depending on what options you tick. Mine was 2200
that brand is pretty famous For high quality instruments.... I have not got my hands on one yet
Mayones are terrific!

I've never seen a neck joint sculpted so beautifully before. And that top! Goes without saying that the tones you were getting out of the guitar were pretty tasty.
I love how the nut is basically invisible
That thing is insanely beautiful. It looks like a mix of my favorite shapes and colors from Ibanez, PRS and even a little Gretsch
That neck is so flamy that it burnt my fretting hand 😱
Very cool to see the small time builders that usually go unseen! Truly custom is more appealing to than most off the shelf models of any brand.
2:45 Darrel gets so excited he goes full Canadian, eh!
When is he not full Canadian, and when he's not full Canadian what nationality is he?
@@CsykKrit he's obviously Jamaican. Can't you tell?
@@AWMJoeyjoejoe hehe ya mon!

That John Mayer-like part was ridiculously cool.
New intro is fkn lit bro. Stay safe during these times! :)
😆 z'good eh?
Love the new channel intro and yeah that is a stunning absolutely stunning guitar
14:22 Those set up measurements are a perfect touch. I'm going to copy that set up by the way.
Woah, its beautiful!! This is the first time i've ever looked at the back of a guitar and thought how nice it looks too! Incredible work of art for sure, and it sounds amazing too!
it's sooo delicious, that sound, the finishes in the wood, the painting,, God!! it's amazing
Wow!!! This guitar is amazing, funny that i live 30 minutes from these guys and have never heard of them. Hope I can go visit them when this will be over.
I love how it's flame maple with satin black back on the body, then Ebony and flame maple on the neck. The diagonal opposites please my OCD 🤷♂️
Love the intro! 😄 i love how you said about these small guitar builder that you introduce them, your passion to let them be known.... 😍
Why ever buy a Gibson if you can have THIS for the same price! I love the looks and the sounds. Just wow!
Because you want the looks and sound of a Gibson. Maybe?
That is definately one beautiful specimen! Loving the neck top combo & complimentary colours with the gold and blue.
That thing is gorgeous...
She is an absolute beauty, Darrell. The shade of blue goes nice with the black fretboard and I'm not usually a fan of carved tops, but it looks fantastic...and she sounds like butter!
He's always smirking/smiling like, 'hey my pants are down and you can't tell' or 'I'm farting, and you can't hear it'
One of the best sounding guitars you've demo'd, very PRS type philosophy, love the violin carved top. Not mad about the satin black back, seems like it'll date quickly.
4:02 Lol! I recognize a certain run we learnt the other day, hey Darrell!??!😄
WHAT A FREKIN INTRO, MILES BETTER THAN THE OLD ONE, YOU GOT THIS MY DUDE
Wasn't Luigi Valenti formerly a luthier at Crimson Guitars? I seem to recall that he left to go back to Italy to set up his own guitar company.
I’d assumed this was from Nino Valenti guitars
What an amazing intro. I love that riff, just killer. Valenti Nebula looks so incredibly sweet. Wow
I’m in awe...I want one of these. Love the neck finish and the color, the gold hardware and the nut/headstock looks great too. Sounds awesome. I liked the neck HB the best.
I always get so cheerful when I watch your channel! Thank you!
I like the new intro, but what's the story with the acoustic on the shed roof? Is that in an old video that I haven't seen yet?
Not typically a fan of blue guitars but OMG, what a gem! I'm actually drooling. Please may I have your job please? I'll give you all of my Epiphones. I'm so jealous! Love your videos, thank you DBG! Keep on truckin'!...Lucky bastard.
Proudly Made in Italy! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Accidenti, realizziamo le chitarre più belle.
Italy is a great country and Italian luthiers have a passion for their products especially musical items.
Absolutely beautiful guitar-not too keen on the pale blue but the proportions are exquisite! Well done to whoever sweated to produce this gem!
When you get so excited to play a new guitar that you drool on the freeboard. lol
Nice Dream Guitar! Very nice tones too... really like the double split tones. Thanks for sharing Darrell :)
around 4300 €
Man my anxiety kicks in looking at the 6th string nut placement.
I've been following Valenti on Facebook for a while. They make so.e seriously incredible stuff.
Beautiful looking and sounding. Love the tones. Curious about the price.
around 4300 €
That is some serious eye candy! It sounds even better than it looks!

Truly beautiful guitar. Just LUV the placement of the fretboard inlays...Very Nice detail there !
Them damn I-talians. It's like Ferrari started making guitars.
Yep, we do make some pretty damn good cars n guitars.
Just wow. That guitar sounds and looks better than any Gibson (I'm a fan) Fender or PRS. Damn. Definitely a piece of art. The paper work it's a 10+ points. Have to mention that you play very smooth and enjoyable.
Stained necks are criminally underrated
I love these types of finish. If the grain is good like quarter sawn then It is essential to make it pop out. I love all the blues and greens or turquoises colours. They always look timeless to me when it is done right. I also love the greys to blacks as it gives a classic look also. Mayones from Poland have done great examples of this and I look at their finishes as sort of a grading quality to go by. They are very expensive though.
As much as I enjoy each of your videos - I just can't wait for you to show us what you're doing to the Yamaha Pacifica!
