SOLI DEO GLORIA!
There should be an “I feel lucky” button that just selects pickups at random like a slot machine.
Ha, like a slot machine, put in a coin and pull the lever!
Fun freq after buying it you won’t have any coins left to insert in it. lol
ADD A MIDDLE PICKUP, AND PAINT ON EACH P90 SECTIONS HUGE SEVENS!!! (and you'll have a jackpot.)
perfect!
hahahaha... yea exactly
I don't see the price point. Not worth it. I'll stick with a hello kitty Squier Strat
lol id pass on that strat
@@joegrande4848 so would I but you get my point
*TheDooo has entered the chat*
Scott Grove said that Hello Kitty Strats were lovable. Never tried one, and I'm putting the body of my Korean Squier Strat in the bin soon. The neck has been dressed and recycled, though.
$16,000
$16,000 dollars? That moment when a Majesty suddenly feels affordable.
I bet 14k of that is the maple top. That thing is THICK! Just imagine how "much" wood they must have milled away.
Ram Jam there’s the catch 😆
That moment when ANYTHING else feels affordable!
@@olekaarvaag9405 LOL, I have an old 2000 American Deluxe Strat with a full 3/4" thick AAA Quilt Top that was a Guitar Center Exclusive, cost in 2001 was only $2100.
I’d rather have a PRS 10 top of my choice and still have money in the bank. $16,000 is ridiculous for ANY guitar. 🎸
When I see this kind of thing, I thank Leo for the simplicity of the Telecaster.
The guitar is $16,000.00 dollars, but no way I'm paying 300 for shipping, I'm not made of money!
$300 for shipping?!? Insane! I would never go for that.
Where did you find the price? I looked in the website, saw all the beautiful colours but price seems to be hidden...go figure. Thanks to Darrell for a gr8 review as usual.
Now that is funny! Good one friend. Made my day. Thx.
ibji with the money you get guitars to change middle gig for different sounds, just have the rack at your side and is worth 1 min swap
That's a LOT of shekels to hoard up and spend. Yeesh. Is it worth it for flippin' around pickups on the fly? Seriously? For that sort of cash one could buy a decent guitar with each one of those pickups installed and still have plenty of $$$ left over to set up a nice recording studio in the home.
Very clever design! Although something tells me at that price point it might not catch on...
yep. Too expensive. :(
it's a shame.
Yeah, 16000 Cad, Thats a lot.
Let's build one, we must just figure out the pickups
You'd be afraid to play it
Gyrock sounds like a fictional company name from The Flintstones.
😂😂😂😂😂
Well it is a fictional company name. The guitar itself is Gyrock. The company is Wild Guitars.
My 1st thought was Flintstone Guitar.
Not only that but the nut is a bone nut. Lol🤣 at 5:46
like if skynet was a thing in the flinstones and the future suddenly invades with a guitar with switchable pickups.
Anyone else remember the He-Man action figure with the rotating chest-plate? Yeah... that.
Exactly what I thought. Beat the bridge to change pickups for the solo!
Man at arms?
Yup. Good reference. ...not to mention a good way of demonstrating you're not a Millennial! 👏
@@lueysixty-six7300 the oldest millennials were around for he-man reruns.
“Battle Action”
Bit of a jack of all trades master of none. It sounds like a PRS, a PRS, and a PRS. For the price of 5 of them.
Somebody on weed in france:
“Need pickup... selector...´”
“What you mean, there is...”
“NO... l’m saying real... pickup... selector”
what
I feel like it's not far from the truth
Yeah theres a pick up selector and is really cool
Interesting idea -- but I don't see how the engineering justifies the price. Which is not mentioned at all, but I saw it was close to $16K? Wow ... Honestly, for that much, I'd rather get 3 or 4 custom guitars configured properly to match the style. Anybody with enough money for this single guitar and who's a professional probably has a roadie to carry their guitars around. And probably loves having many guitars. I sure do!
Yeah, that is exactly what I thought, the idea is good, but it simply make no sense when you look at the price. For sure, if the mecanism is all hand made, in house, only for a few pieces it will cost a fortune to make, and I agree that the guys at Wild customs should be able to benefit from their innovation. But if it is pricier than two or three custom made guitar, It no longer make any sense, especially when you take into account that the sound of pick up is also linked to the way the guitar is built (bolt-on VS set neck, etc.).
They should at least try to offer a model maybe with only two set of pickups or even only one set that you can upgrade at some point (but I guess the pricing is not really linked to the price of the different parts anyway...).
The Relish guitars model, which have a similar swappable system are closer to 6000 (they even have a simpler model that is less than 2000). Okay the relishs do not have rotary pick-up, you have to change them one by one, but will you really change your pick up during a song ?
For 16k i would get 20 guitars instead,
Agreed. If I had a 16k guitar budget, I wouldn’t spend it on this. It’s really cool but I’d much rather just have several guitars. Almost just as easy to switch pickups (ya know, just plug in a different guitar) AND they would look much better hanging on the wall.
this may be looks cool but the its a nightmare to balance the volume output on all of them
This company also makes a 70,000 euro guitar, so it's not about the economy of the instrument as much as it is a status symbol. Some people are nuts and will pay for anything.
Me: "can I get Sweet Child O Mine?"
Mom: "we have Sweet Child O Mine at home!"
Sweet Child at home: 13:06
Noah N Copeland lmfao
It's because Guns and Roses take down any video with Sweet Child of Mine in it, you have to change it if you don't want your video taken down
RamenNoodles your vid doesn’t get taken down but it gets demonetized
Noah
You're comment makes absolutely no sense at all.
@@Sig721Tau it's a meme. It's based on an old Eddie Murphy bit from the '80s
Well it is 2020! Since we ain't got any floatin' cars, atleast we got floating, gyrating guitar pups!
This guitar help us to realize that there isn't really much difference between pickups. It's ultimately the amp and other electronics that determine your final sound. The funny part is, this guitar shows us exactly why we don't need one.
On one hand the engineering behind this is absolutely incredible. On the other like the difference in swapping pickups on the fly doesn't actually seem like very useful. Like sure you vary the tone a little, but the amp and pedals you plug make a much bigger difference.
Agreed. With modeling effects as they are today, this sort of thing is really geared for those Tone Clones who insist on purity in their playing. Meh. When the drums are thumping and the bass player is loud, can the audience actually HEAR the difference? Yeah maybe a guitarist can but anyone else? And if they're groovin' to the music do they really give a crap?
@@molochsorcery4357 On point. I mean I'd listen to my favorite songs played well on any guitar with any tone somewhat close to what was intended.
Critics abound.
My first thought was for a Nashville or other area studio musician... And (IMHO) if you can really "play" the instrument, and don't just use distortion to cover all the mistakes, etc... yes you can hear (and feel) the difference... I wouldn't say this guitar would be for metal... seems like for metal you just crank the amp to 11, add in some kind of cheesy BOSS distortion/fuzz/overdrive and break eardrums with a bunch of flashy finger tappy stuff and whammy bar horsie sounds... This guitar would be for all the rest of the world's guitar music... not for metal... plus it's not pointy or neon green... you gotta have that color (or similar) to look cool playing metal... LOL
@@jameshendee4489 you know the 80's have been over for quite a while?
Guitar companies : INNOVATION
Darrel : *I'll take your entire stock!*
For this money I could get a Gibson Les Paul Custom. A Fender thinline Telecaster. A Gretsch Country Gent and a Fender Custom Strat.
Which isn't much of a better choice, except for the Gretch
You still have about $5000 left over... That's enough for a vacation for 2 on a nice cruise ship...😆... That no country will allow in port
And 4 different woods.
This would be great for comparing and designing pickups.
💯% right, an engineering tool!
It's too bad these truly innovative guitars are so darn expensive. Let's hope stuff like this becomes more mainstream and gets less expensive...
I wouldnt say innovative.... more like "gimmicky".
There will be a Chinese copy if you can wait a few weeks
,
China!!! Pay attention!!
@@chrisdigital They're a bit busy
@@wrongfuture LOL, Fair enough.
tell me this why is that every guitar you demo is either, mind-blowing,stunning, beautiful, gorgeous, incredible etc
I think I've had enough internet today
Was that after the $16000 price point or the $300 delivery
Crazy idea! Sounds good and looks very nice.
"No electronic trick, play authentic"
Why oh why is that their slogan lmao
!? “Pas de trucs électroniques
Jouez authentique!”
Scans better in French (even if it is my piss-poor excuse for French).
It is fantastic to see luthiers, technicians and engineers getting together and creating such amazing instruments. And well done to Dazz for showcasing them. Brilliant and well done to all. I want one!
if you want several different pickups in one guitar, get a set of SD P-rails. Single coil, P-90, and series or parallel humbucker in one humbucker . Maybe not quite as versatile as actual separate pickups, but not $16k either!!
Thanks for reviewing it for us, it’s a beautiful guitar. Like you said most us can’t afford it but really great to have an in depth look at it. Congrats to the gang at Wild.
😑 I keep telling the wife, “i just need one more. This will be the last one... I swear!” Now she’s going to have to hear it again....
Is there a guitar-anonymous? cause I’m Angel and I have a problem
AngelxMoreno. Hello Angel. Thank you for sharing with us. You aren’t alone
Opportunity to consolidate, since you can sell the ones that this one would make redundant.
She'll kill you mate... Have you seen the price? I'm just going to forget about this one as quickly as possible...
@gohantaro live in a storage locker full of guitars!
AngelxMoreno Hello, Angel. Thanks for sharing. I’m Casper and I too am an addict. I have three guitars currently. I made some hard decisions and sold a few, but I’ve relapsed and am constantly drooling over new ones thinking “Oh I gotta save up for that one”... I’m almost at the point where I’m buying a Furch now...
Yeay! You did it! Thanks Darrell. What an amazing work on this one!
Cool idea. Actually one of the coolest ideas I’ve seen in a long time but for $16000? Aw HAIL NAW!!!!!
That maple cap is a creamy dream!!!
Phil McKnight: This pickup switching guitar is awesome.
Darrell Braun: Hold my beer.
Darrell, that was one of your best videos! Thank you for sharing that with your fans. I could have listened to you play that guitar all day long. Awesome!
...or, you could buy four custom shop guitars, each with different pickups.
And you could even tune them differently :-O
This guitar is $16,000, you could by all four and a used Toyota.
@@Racquetballerkevin You obviously haven't looked at custom shop prices, recently.
@@TH-camHandlesAreMoronic Depends on the shop. He and I are thinking Kiesel.
Lawyers and doctors will love this Guitar! It does show a lot of tone is in the guitar and not the pickup. The Strat pickup sounds like a split humbucker in a les Paul more than a Stratocaster. Thank you for this demo.
When you opened that case I knew gun lovers will absolutely dig this guitar...
Quite a new one I haven't seen until now! That's so awesome my man!
How about constantly-spinning pickups for that "Leslie" effect :)
Hahaha!
Maybe oscillating rotation, like a top-load washing washing machine?
Spin cycle, too!
The perfect buyer for this has more money than brains.
3 guitars in one. Nice !
I'll keep getting sub $200 guitars & making them shine
That guitar you premiered tonight was out of any box I thought of.
Good on you!! Thanks for another great vid!!
Or......save that 16k money and buy a strat, Les Paul, Tele and a Gretsch ....still have nearly 8k left over! And...you’ll have four actually coool looking guitars. .....just saying.
A few years ago, I imagined, a pickup that walks along the body of the guitar, being able to be positioned at any point, by mechanical activation. Who knows, maybe the next invention ... 🤣 🤣 🤣.
Amazing to see how the Gyrock is re-defining what an electric guitar can be! You might need to trade both your kidneys for this baby though...I'm sure you'll be fine :)

first reply
I went to Gyrock site and couldn't find any prices....🤑
@@gregolson5089 Not easy to find... But they're there... 16 grand US I believe it was... Instant GAS cure fi3r me on this one lol
@@joguipo yup me also.... and I have GAS bad!
Featrues des ka?! ; )
Love the way this guy plays the guitar! very distinct...
If their was a new standardized pickup design that just allowed to pull out a pickup and snap a new set into place that would be awesome.
I mean, probably not what you mean, but Relish Guitars has a system like that. There's also a vid of this guitar on this channel :)
You should patent that idea 💡
Now that right there is real innovation. Thank you Darrell and thank you to Wild Customs. ya'll Gy-rock!
Remember the "Hot wheels " that you could crash and the panel would flip....I miss the 80s....but I digress the "Boaz one" is a solution.
Or battle armor he man😂
This is really wild. It conflicts with the ways I feel about guitars but stimulates the engineering part of my brain.
I had to pick my jaw up off the floor after seeing the price tag. Ludicrous!
The most beautiful guitar I've seen 😍
Wow, awesome guitar, and an awesome video as always. Having said that, this guitar is out of range for 98% of us. Thanks for the great review, keep up the great work!
Enjoying your channel. I am a guitar builder myself. One thing I really like is you do not repeat yourself. Your clips move right along with new information flowing. I'm watching...
There's a moment where I'm like "FOX!!! DO A BARREL ROLL!"
Oh man.... Had to like because only OG's know about those barrel rolls.... 🎸
I kinda wish the pickups were blue so I could act like Sonic was doing a spin dash with the sound to boot.
THIS IS SO NEAT! Imagine if guitat stores had these for trying out pickups on the fly!!! amazing idea!!!
For that insane price they are asking there should be a jerk me off selector switch also.
I was thinking "16 GRAND,& it doesn't blow me?WTFUCK?!?,Over!!!"
Very beautiful guitar! Nice sounds too, thanks for the demo Darrell.
why no demonstration of playing with the levers while sustaining a chord? Literally the first thing I would do after tuning it up.
MOOSEFET he did a pickup flip at one point. You get a brief kill switch effect between them. Not exactly musical
9:18
"One minute solo" - - - 2 minutes long. I appreciate your playing any day of the week! Thanks for those extended playing times:)
How many stoners have thought of this pickup gimmick, talked about this, and then forgot it?
I really like the vintage strat pick-ups.
wow. how I wish there was a 5-way selector version
After two days of no wifi I finally get to watch this video. Love this guitar and a really good idea
for that price, i’d be scared to take it out of the case lmao
wow that concept is fantastic,and sounded great too...just flick it over to a new pickup,,just amazing,how cool would that be,,,,price is amazing too,,,kudos to the design team and the engineers,,what a terrific job they did
My eyes say yes, but my wallet is laughing!🤣😂 Just like my wife when I mentioned 16,000 dollars for a guitar.😁😎
That takes a pickup selector switch to a whole new level !!
How do you find such unique guitars 😆
You're amazing darrell!
Build a big channel and guitars will get sent to you too
He did say people were commenting that he should try it out. And the company noticed it, too. It just comes with the territory.
Holy crap! That is the most bad ass guitar on the planet. I need to win the lottery so I can buy one for me and one for several of my guitarist friends.
Harley benton gonna rebadge this soon😂
Lmao
I'd be quite happy with that actually.
Ain't got 16k to spare on a single guitar. XD
They cant. The fact that it's so expensive is because most guutar manufacturers won't be able to replicate the design.
Damn you beat me to it!
@@hotman718 I sincerely hope you're being sarcastic over there. I'll give you the fact that no-one before them (that we know of) has actually put it to practice like these guys have done, but "most won't be able to replicate" a pair of lever pulleys and an electrical contact system that has been around since the times of wireless home phones? Come on
Every guitar should be like this. Every guitar brand should be doing this.
Because EVERYBODY has $16k to throw down on another Gimmickcaster.
Not everybody can afford everything. It's okay.
@Eric 23 legendary session guys use hand picked squires. Low investment, high profit.
I thought it was a Godin before I clicked on it. Lol
hell 2 teeth is 6300$!
@@SnahLhug The Japanese Squires from the early to late 80's go for about the same price as American Standard Strats on the used market. They were made in the same factory as Tokai, Fernandes, Greco. These guitars all fetch a high dollar on the used market and are renowned for their quality. You can't compare them with Korean, A Indonesian, or Chinese Squires!!!
Im in love with that guitar
Interesting idea, looks like a fine instrument too BUT I didn’t love the tones. Single coil neck didn’t really come close the spongy dynamic tones you might expect. Maybe because of the 500k pots? Cool concept but the tones weren’t there for me.
Maybe it's due to the amp? It wasn't the most clean and uncompressed tone if you ask me
All I can say is ... wow!
Fender creative director: Give me rotating pickups for the masses...
Design team: We did it...
Director: Great what's the pricepoint?
Design team: $16,000
Director: ......Let's just change the name to Vintera and be done with it.
A very ingenious design and a great way to switch pickups with lots of variety to mix & match different pickups in the bridge and neck pickups
Are the back 2 pickups still powered and does that affect the one pickup being used ie feedback?
Aaron W. Markel I was wondering the same thing.
Not powered. It's all passive and only connects as you rotate. You can see the pins on the sides of the pick-up assemblies. I'd be more worried about wear and tear and spare parts.
It would have to disconnect the unused pickups. To have two extra pickups in the circuit would significantly change the tone of the selected pickup. I'm interested in how they do this without pops or other noise. Given the quality appearance of the rest of the system I expect they found a durable way to do this.
Awesome video! Love that little 59 pickup!
Great demo.
That single coil doesn't sound like a Strat at all to my ears :/
I think its for the neck 🤔
Then you must be deaf
The apparatus moves the pickup further away from a strat's normal neck position. Noticed that right away.
Superb pickup idea
This comes to light when a laser printer company designs an electric guitar...
Now I know that the Majesty is really affordable BUT this guitar is a revelation and if you have a custom LP, a custom Strat and a custom Tele then you may be at this price point anyway.....amazing!!
I can build my own for less, including all the tools needed 😂😂
please do it and call me back
That guitar is absolutely fantastic
If you remove all the pickups, could you use it as an acoustic guitar? 🤣
Amazing, Darrell! I never thought I would like any distorted sound, but this instrument has a sawtooth wave that is actually caressing. The cleanest I've ever heard, bro! No listening fatigue on this boy. Thanks, brother Braun. With the world falling apart we have little moments of respite. And yours are among the most pleasant.
I dont know why nobody has done this before...
The price blew my mind !! And i'm french ! I prefer my luthier to build me my guitars for 3500 dollars each. And he does it very well.
Whelp now I know the first thing I’d buy if I won the lottery
I'd get a '64 Strat. The holy Grail of Strats, a 59 es335, a 52 telecaster, and a 58 Les Paul. We are talking the "lottery" not a scratch and win!!
I’d buy picks
Outstanding and super cool. I love the shape of it the most, it looks like it plays effortlessly.
In France, we don't have oil but we have ideas.
You don't have oil but you have huile
I’m more amazed by the electronics. It’s shockingly simple that each pickup engages singularly without interference.
$16000?...no thanks, I could buy like 40 nice squires instead!
I don't think any guitar manufacturer can justify a price tag this big, but the idea of being able to change pickups that easily on any guitar would make life so much easier to experiment with different PUs.
The price on these is just absurd, I love quirky stuff like Relish’s touch screen pickup selector, but this is ridiculous, 16 grand for what looks to be an extremely average spec guitar with one unique feature
I hope you keep all guitars you review, that would be a dream job
"For the person that doesn't want multiple guitars" ... sounds link not a guitar player to me.
"sounds link"
@@YouSoundButtHurt Thanks for pointing out my spello
I love the idea of modular guitars. This is amazing.
Cool and interesting idea. It just looks cheap and horrible imo. For that price they should have spent a bit more time on the aesthetics.
