I returned from a trip to Andertons this morning where I received possibly the best customer service I have ever experienced in a guitar store, or any store to be honest. Your “marketing” on these videos draws people to the store and Paul and his colleagues certainly made it a worthwhile experience. Above and beyond today, thank you!
@@pedrohgromero1 absolutely, they have such a great selection of guitars, it’s worth it just to enjoy the view! But if you are after purchasing something, drop in and they will help you out
@@pedrohgromero1 andertons is the best shop ive been to, always good selection, service and price. if you're going to London, you might also wanna have a look on Denmark Street for the history of it, and see a few nice vintage pieces you'll never be allowed to touch.
Revstars and Yamaha in general have really had my attention lately as has esp and schector...lotta great guitars out there..the Kramer line is gaining on me as well..
Picked up a Yamaha A1M acoustic about two years ago, and absolutely love it. Mahogany body with rosewood neck and fingerboard. You can get rosewood back and sides, too, but I chose not to. I hate that it's made in China....but you can't tell one bit. The neck feels almost identical to my '94 MIM Strat, as far as smooth, comfy playability & QC. I wouldn't hesitate in buying a Revstar. In fact, I've been eyeballing them myself for about year now. I've been a fan of everything that Yamaha makes for as long as I can remember, though. They make great stuff.
Agreed. Many great guitars out there in all price ranges. Recently bought a Schecter and I love it. I also bought a Solar Guitar, which is great as well (the one thing I'm still not totally sure about is the Evertune on it, but unfortunately the gorgeous colour I wanted was only available with that bridge :D).
That Revstar with set neck and rosewood at £399 is an absolute steal. Also proves there's no excuse for Fender to ruin their affordable models with Pau Ferro and Laurel.
There really isn’t anything inherently wrong with those woods, but fender especially started with maple as the only option but feel the need to fake the rosewood to get I’ve the consumer the illusion of it, but it’s never gonna be the rosewood you want.
I OBSESSED over the Cobalt Blue Esp Ltd 256 for 2 YEARS and never pulled the trigger on buying one. Couple of years ago, they were £359. Guitar inflation is definitely a thing.
The ESP LH150s aren't bad in house pups, if im being honest. Didn't have much of a need or want to change them when I had my F50 (sadly, discontinued) with them in it.
@@thornwivansI own an ec256 since 2015. I'm not sure if they've changed the stock pick-ups, but mine sounded a little bit muffled by the time I bought the guitar. Playability, though, was great. In 2017 I replaced the pickups with some handmade ones (I'm from Brazil, SD and Dimarzio are quite expensive around here) and the versatility I've got from this guitar is incredible
12:35 Hi-pass filter on many Satriani Ibanez's... I've learned from knowledgeable fans, shines when you roll the volume down to around 4/10 and it becomes quite 'bell' like [or chime-y?]. Maybe on this Rev Star, too? [different pickups, body woods, etc... though.]
Love that they got two blues dads to demo some fine contemporary guitars! Nah as usual great video! you can't go wrong with these two hosts together, all the guitars were actually really really cool as well!
I've had one for a couple of years already. It's phenomenal for it's price (and I got mine in 2015, it was waaaay cheaper). I just had to change the pick ups for something brighter, but playability was incredible since day 1. Excellent fretwork.
Holy moly both you guys killing it equally here!!! EXCELLENT is an understatement!!!! The Chapman ML3 for me! I do have to admit though Squier and Epiphone have absolutely stepped up their game and for the money to me, the best buys.
I am Fender/Squier through and through (15 guitars 12 are Fender)...but I find myself drawn towards the Yamaha Revstar. Love it. All great guitars; I guess for ME, if I had to pick a 'least favorite', it's gonna be the Epiphone SG---I DO like them and it is absolutely beautiful, but this one is just too busy for me with 3 push/pull pots. That's just me; I've (personally) just not got use for all that. That being said; if a dying friend or relative wanted to give me any of these, I would gladly have it and keep it. If I buy one of the six, it will be the Revstar. Great video guys!
I have that Contemporary Jaguar and it is an amazing guitar. The phase thing works in all positions it makes turn humbucker into parallel mode. In that mode, the coil split doesnt work. I think it's simmilar to Stratocaster positions 2,4.
A couple of years back I was in the market for a somewhat "different" guitar. The last two were the Reverend Manta Ray and the Yamaha Revstar. I took the Reverend but everytime I see a Revstar I think, that I need one as well.
Nice Back to the Future reference! I can’t believe it took Pete so long to remember the name of the movie though, especially given there’s a DeLorean sitting on the Soldano behind him! Classic movies. Fun video guys
I've got the Jag and I love it, so great to see it getting a bit more of a showcase than in previous videos. However, I would have definitely pulled the trigger on the Revstar if I'd been in the market a few months later when they announced the new model ranges...
I bought a revztar standard. It showed up with a headstock break. Also in the box it was just loose in a ill citting giv bag no real padding and no neck support so the cracked headstock was a poor packaging issue not a guitar quality issue. Id say if you want a standard go to a shop in person
Yeah the gig bags for Yamaha guitars up to $600 are pretty much just dust covers. Although I'd agree this was a packing issue, folks should figure the price of a good gig bag into any Yamaha purchase in that range.
Hiya fellas, enjoyed comparison. One thing if possible can you give the weigh in discription ie. 8.5 kgs. It seems to be more relevant nowadays. 👍🥃Respect to you fellas.
I just got some 1957 single coils for a Strat build... and realized I need to go older! lol. I guess I 'll make it modern in my old way, just never expected to prefer that old school.
I tested one in a Guitar Show in Italy, honestly don't get all the hype. Good guitars, but wouldn't necessarily put them above an Epiphone (the ones in the same price rance, ofc)
Nice to see some different guitars getting a run through. Some mention of weight and how they behave on a strap would be useful, particularly with guitars like the hollow Starcaster and its unusual headstock.
Try the Yamaha Revstar Element at Guitar center. Compared the RS with the Epiphone Les Paul, prefer the Yamaha. It gives more clarity and definitions than the EP Les Paul.
Damn! I've never heard you guys do a hard rock jam like this before! I didn't know you had it in you! Cheers! Edit: Of all the two humbucker guitars, the Epi SG Modern sounds the best.
I really dug the ec 256 for the price, I ended up trading it because I didn't like the stock pickups The ltd house pickups are OK, just kind of bland and sterile but they sound good with pedals The really annoying thing was the cavities weren't shielded which made alot of ambient noise, and the truss rod on mine was very sensitive and needed frequent adjustments Again for the money it makes an excellent player guitar I'm just a little picky
The Revstar clearly stole the show here for me, but the Starcaster was also really cool, and the Jaguar had a bit of funkyness on the neck tone that was unexpected.
You would instantly be able to tell based on the neck joint. The fret access on an SG is much better than any non Axcess model Les Paul. I would still love to see if Pete can guess SG or Les Paul while someone else is playing them.
Multiple guitars do a blindfold comparison between electric guitars acoustically, have the guitarists pic the most pleasing to hear acoustically then see if that impression holds when plugged in and another blindfold test.
when it comes to the revstars, I really wish they'd kept the dry switch on the mid-range models. I love the way it sounds in this video. Coil splits/taps never really sound that good to me. But you cant get the element models with p90s.
Really liked the Starcaster. Very cool guitar ! A type of guitar I don't have (yet). Already own a LP/Strat/Tele/super Strats (no interest in an SG). Might have to take a look at one of those.
Two contemporary squiers and neither the strat or tele....The jag is cool but I am not sure why anyone wants a semi hollow with active high gain pickups
@@DrewKane They are meant to be (fender says 'massive high-output signal') and Lee said that it was significantly louder than the others. Actives can be nice for really clean jazz sounds or for tight metal I just find it weird to sit in the middle and aim for a rock machine with pickups from suited for downtuned playing. I'd thought a more mid high output passive (like a JB or Custom style) would fit better for a raucous semi hollow tone.
Maybe someone who plays metal, but has a back problem. Or someone who just likes the aesthetics of the guitar. Have you tried to play a LP metal guitar while having a chronic back pain?😖😁
@@alphajames33 Didnt say anything against having a light guitar, chambered, thin etc more so the tonal side of it and the lack of tightness which is usually the point of active pickups to be articulate and tight which a bigger sized semi hollow will take away quickly even with no f holes.
@@DrewKane I bought the Jag and when in the shop they mentioned the Atomic humbuckers which immediately put me off as I thought it would be a metal guitar. Not the case. It’s a misnomer for me.
The Starcaster is fantastic (the Affinity and Classic Vibe with passive pups sound better imho); Fender should make a proper one instead of having them only under the Squier brand
Unfortunately, eventually your guitar collection can fill all the available space you have and you have to make the dreadful decision of which one(s) to part with to make room for something different. I have 3 Strats & 2 Teles (amongst others) and they each sound different enough that I can't bring myself to part with any of them ! I've just "rescued" a 2003/2006 Tanglewood AS39 jazz semi acoustic from a Cash Converters shop and it takes up nearly as much space as 2 solid bodies ! If space was not an issue I'd have a Starcaster & a Revstar please.
Not sure why you would do the SG modern rather than a Les Paul prophecy those are some of the best guitars out I still have and love my 2011 with the Gibson pickups two knobs blade inlays and crazy quilt top veneer
While the other guitars still look good, it seems like Squire have upped there game with these two. I did like the way they considered what function the switches of the Jaguar would do rather than just copy the wiring design from the original design which features single coil pickups. The fact that both have roasted necks just gives me a quality feel for the price range.
Get test drives, was surprised that the Squier was not quite up to par. Why can't Fender buy some rosewood stock from other company's that put out less expensive guitars?
Ok I hope someone at Andertons reads this, because it seems some of your viewers don't have a sense of humour and are taking my comments 1. waaaaaay too seriously and 2. taking it personally...........This posting came up on my feed as I post guitar stuff and so I logged on because the title caught my attention and interest so i gave it a look. I'm not from the U.K. but I'm also not an idiot, so I am aware that you have a music store. ALL I WAS STATING WAS THAT I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT NO GUITARS WERE MENTIONED FROM COMPANIES THAT ARE KNOWN FOR INNOVATION AND "MODERNITY" ( except you did have a Yamaha in there, so my "bad" on that ).....THAT'S IT! BECAUSE THE TITLE AND UNDERLYING CAPTION SEEMED TO IMPLY THAT! I have no agenda other than I'm a guitar enthusiast, and I post things with a little well intentioned "jab" to encourage meaningful discussion. I DON'T CARE WHAT BRANDS YOU DO OR DO NOT SELL and how you do your marketing. I usually find a lot of your stuff quite interesting. I was just hoping to see not necessarily any Godin or Yamaha guitars but maybe something I hadn't heard of or seen yet....that's it! Now after watching the whole video, I did become aware that you had a price point etc. as a criteria, .........hey, y'all need to take a chill pill, I'm not insulting either your guitars, or your mothers. Lighten up! It seems you have a thriving shop, good for you. I wasn't taking a "shot" at it. People who actually know me know I have a sense of humour, which includes sarcasm. The printed word by itself never shows the intent or tenor of the person who wrote it, and can always be taken out of context. Be well and all the best, Randall.......p.s., and unlike a plethora of others, I have the "balls'" to use my real name and picture, not hide behind some silly acronym or avatar like the vast majority, eh! Seriously, what does that say about a person who isn't even confident enough to use their real name or at least a cool nickname? Like people who post 20 year old pictures of themselves on dating sites eh? lol!
Love the jaguar and revstar, ltd is nice, had a starcaster strat once ,wouldnt stay in tune. But that blue one looks good. Sg is cool too. Enjoyed that review . Awesome.

that starcaster is so freakin cool, embarrassed to admit I'd love to have one with fender on the headstock

Personally I liked the Starcaster. Did you have to do a setup on each before the video? How are the tuners and nut? Very nice comparison.
I love comperisons. Also in higher price ranges. helps a lot prior buying a guitar. thanks.
WOW. Awesome Intro. Rockin'. Thankyou Guys. Doesn't everyone need one of each type of Electric Guitar and 7 Strats ....

They increased the body size on the latest models and that blew it for me. I was just on the verge of buying one.

Edit: Of all the two humbucker guitars, the Epi SG Modern sounds the best.
That was awesome lads. I love the sounds like videos, with Dave and Ci Ci. Anything with them in it is great. And some more bass stuff in general.
that intro jam was amazing
I really dug the ec 256 for the price, I ended up trading it because I didn't like the stock pickups
The ltd house pickups are OK, just kind of bland and sterile but they sound good with pedals
The really annoying thing was the cavities weren't shielded which made alot of ambient noise, and the truss rod on mine was very sensitive and needed frequent adjustments
Again for the money it makes an excellent player guitar I'm just a little picky
Same actor also uses the term "Slacker" in the He-Man live action movie.
The Revstar clearly stole the show here for me, but the Starcaster was also really cool, and the Jaguar had a bit of funkyness on the neck tone that was unexpected.
Things I didnt think I would see today. A shredding Captn
Yes do a SG vs. Les Paul blindfold video, use a wide range of price levels see if Pete can pick them out audibly and feel wise.
You would instantly be able to tell based on the neck joint. The fret access on an SG is much better than any non Axcess model Les Paul. I would still love to see if Pete can guess SG or Les Paul while someone else is playing them.
Multiple guitars do a blindfold comparison between electric guitars acoustically, have the guitarists pic the most pleasing to hear acoustically then see if that impression holds when plugged in and another blindfold test.
Pete Before filming the Intro Jam:
"Hey Captain, can you do a 'Sound Like Chappers'?"
04:25 "we are not talking about now, Strats, Telly, Les Pauls" ... says Lee holding a telecaster, nods Pete holding a les paul 😜
Regarding the Peter Green tone, don't you also need to flip the poles on the PU magnet as well as reverse the wiring?
Much appreciated shootout!
when it comes to the revstars, I really wish they'd kept the dry switch on the mid-range models. I love the way it sounds in this video. Coil splits/taps never really sound that good to me. But you cant get the element models with p90s.

That jag is wired perfectly

MORE like this please!

1 minute into the video and the Captain is pick tapping? WTAF kind of parallel universe did I fall into???
lol, my thoughts to a t!
PLEASE DO SG vs LES PAUL
I can’t make up my mind!!!
Not sure why you would do the SG modern rather than a Les Paul prophecy those are some of the best guitars out I still have and love my 2011 with the Gibson pickups two knobs blade inlays and crazy quilt top veneer
20:44 didn't know that! pretty cool
I really liked the the revstar, the sg and the chapman. Very nice sounding guitars for the price.
REVVVV it up folks! those yammys are amazing
Intro solos reminded me of "You could be mine".
I’m so used to 4 knobs guitars that is difficult for me to try 2 knobs because I play a lot with the tones and volumes.
Same here. I feel metal guys have few uses for these, tho
While the other guitars still look good, it seems like Squire have upped there game with these two. I did like the way they considered what function the switches of the Jaguar would do rather than just copy the wiring design from the original design which features single coil pickups. The fact that both have roasted necks just gives me a quality feel for the price range.
That SG copy sounds great - and with the coil splits no less!
which one?
Finally, after 60 years the Jag is modern :)
That Jag is gorgeous.
LOL 😂 that blue Jaguar by squier looks ten times nicer than my fender player Jaguar!
Thank God for Anderson's TV
That Yamaha Revstar has a very Gretsch-y sound to it, I like it. Not a fan of the colour though.
Hey fella’s! How bout a video on the best low gain dirt pedals or best boost pedals? Thanks
Which backing track were you guys using in the intro?
Curious to see what Pete would do with a THBB10, food for thought
Get test drives, was surprised that the Squier was not quite up to par. Why can't Fender buy some rosewood stock from other company's that put out less expensive guitars?
What color Revstar standard do you have?
How is the neck on the revstar? Thin, chunky?
If you haven't at least watched Chris Buck play his Yamaha, you need to do that.
Is the Chapman ML3 available with non-reversed headstock?
i would probably get a revstar if they had put at least one out that had a more modern bridge rather than a t.o.m. style bridge
Ok I hope someone at Andertons reads this, because it seems some of your viewers don't have a sense of humour and are taking my comments 1. waaaaaay too seriously and 2. taking it personally...........This posting came up on my feed as I post guitar stuff and so I logged on because the title caught my attention and interest so i gave it a look. I'm not from the U.K. but I'm also not an idiot, so I am aware that you have a music store. ALL I WAS STATING WAS THAT I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT NO GUITARS WERE MENTIONED FROM COMPANIES THAT ARE KNOWN FOR INNOVATION AND "MODERNITY" ( except you did have a Yamaha in there, so my "bad" on that ).....THAT'S IT! BECAUSE THE TITLE AND UNDERLYING CAPTION SEEMED TO IMPLY THAT! I have no agenda other than I'm a guitar enthusiast, and I post things with a little well intentioned "jab" to encourage meaningful discussion. I DON'T CARE WHAT BRANDS YOU DO OR DO NOT SELL and how you do your marketing. I usually find a lot of your stuff quite interesting. I was just hoping to see not necessarily any Godin or Yamaha guitars but maybe something I hadn't heard of or seen yet....that's it! Now after watching the whole video, I did become aware that you had a price point etc. as a criteria, .........hey, y'all need to take a chill pill, I'm not insulting either your guitars, or your mothers. Lighten up! It seems you have a thriving shop, good for you. I wasn't taking a "shot" at it. People who actually know me know I have a sense of humour, which includes sarcasm. The printed word by itself never shows the intent or tenor of the person who wrote it, and can always be taken out of context. Be well and all the best, Randall.......p.s., and unlike a plethora of others, I have the "balls'" to use my real name and picture, not hide behind some silly acronym or avatar like the vast majority, eh! Seriously, what does that say about a person who isn't even confident enough to use their real name or at least a cool nickname? Like people who post 20 year old pictures of themselves on dating sites eh? lol!
I like the Starcaster
Strat, Les Paul, super strat, hot rod Les paul, contemporary strat, …I guess next I better buy a tele?
Love the jaguar and revstar, ltd is nice, had a starcaster strat once ,wouldnt stay in tune. But that blue one looks good. Sg is cool too. Enjoyed that review . Awesome.
