R.J., I'm an old guitbilly plectrumator, and you, my friend, are one of my 5 favorite guitar players. I probably got socks older than you.😂 You can really make it sing. Keep on Keeping on ! 👍👍👍👍
So Rickenbacker-like can’t wait for the LEFTY burst to come available - I have 4 Rivoltas & they are all amazing ‼️ thanks Eastwood & Dennis Fano - the best guitar manufacturer making guitars for lefties 👍🏼
Hi, Mschreib The Get, we left handed have hard life to find a good instrument, luckely we have Eastwood that is thinking about us ! I have bought the Tenorbaritone, added a third pick-up ( Seymour Duncan Minibucker Seymourized) , and with the help of some pedals , with my Vox amp i can tell you that it is a pleasure for the ears to play it ! Only a negative point of view : the weight ! I'm waiting for the Octave Mandola semi hollow , the " OM 150" , but currently is available for right handed only 😡. Greetings from Italy, Patrick
I just got one of these in the Amber burst finish. First of all, it's an amazing beautiful piece of ash. Secondly, this guitar is a hybrid like no other. Part Fender thinline telecaster (ashtray bridge, tele style compensated saddles, single f-hole, 25.5 inch scale), part Gibson ES 330 (double cut semi-hollow with p90 pickup in the neck, set neck construction) part Gibson SG (double cut with pointy horns), part Rickenbacker (single coil chime), has some surf guitar vibe too because of the funky pickquard, AND 24 frets (!), which makes the upper fret access insane! Well put together and stays in tune even after hefty country string bending. Highly recommended.
amazing playing, as per the usual, RJ. however, everything you touch sounds great. could you talk about the feel, fit + finish, the new/larger/chunkier C++ Rivolta neck, playability, etc etc. i'm not finding reviews on this online, and i'm very curious about this model. can you compare the neck to the combinata or the regata, which are C+...... thx.
I had both a Regata and Combinata. Wonderful instruments. I’m not exactly sure how they pulled it off, but the neck on my Duocata feels almost in between the other two. Might be the smaller body and matte finish. You can absolutely rip on these things - The closest feeling guitar I’ve had was a vintage ‘65 SG Jr.
@@midnight-special your reviews are very much appreciated, midnight-s! i've owned a combinata xvii, and really liked the neck, BUT, wouldn't mind a slightly chunkier c, which rivolta is stating a C++ for the duocata. so, you're saying it's a bit more substantial than your combinata?
Sorry for the delay. Honestly, the neck on mine doesn’t feel any chunkier than my Combinata. But that may come down to the matte finish and the fact that these are two very different guitars. This neck feels much more comfortable and broken-in, and not just due to the matte finish. But I’m also someone who’s generally owned vintage instruments (1948-1965 is my sweet spot) and am comfortable with 13’s on baseball bat archtop necks. I’ve never played a solidbody (including early Broadcaster/Tele/Esquires) that didn’t feel “fast” to me. Note the new Combinata has a roasted Maple neck and this time it’s not lacquered. I’m sure that guitar will be wonderfully playable to anyone unless their hands are tiny (By that I mean so small that Rick’s or Duosonic’s are the sweet spot for soloing where my hands cramp up on them).
@@midnight-special thanks for the input. yeah, i just saw the new combinata drop, and i am very excited to pick up the sunburst (tritonale) finish. the satin finish on the neck, the belly carve and the simarouba body all seem extremely appealing to me .. .

Just give an old showel to RJ, 3 strings and a humbucker on it, would sounds like '59 Les Paul.
@@flycorvus He could play the spokes on a Schwinn.
The burst especially is so classic, like you could have it for fifty years and still be proud to own it.
What a fresh design. Love when a guitar can be new but simultaneously look like it's always been around. Just meant to be- truth in aesthetics!

Great finish on the green.
LOVE THIS AXE! and man can you make it swing, SING! Gotta get me one
R.J. is amazing as usual.
Nice bravo👏👏
Nice play-through.
Pretty 😮
KILLER intro😃👍👍
Absolutely thumb up 👍🎸
SICK!!!!
Non overdrive pedal demos let me know how impossibly boring overdrive pedals are. 😮 RJ is never boring though. 🙌
❤❤❤
Signalchain: what´s in the line..?

Can you do a rundown on how to get that kind of lead delay sound?
you can shred
I like to pronounce it ‘Dwokata’ and say it really fast like I have a Hoosier accent
How did I miss this guitar?
