Dear God how I would love to own one of these guitars! Even better, the actual Gibson itself but I try to be humble 😂. This is my ultimate dream guitar!

One day I’ll hit the lottery and buy a D martin guitar.🙏🏻cheers

@3:31 Fender marketing department BS LMAO

You seem to just want people to buy more expensive guitars from your link 😂

Hey bro, the neck is NOT LAMINATE! The dx1 was a richlite neck, the dx2 is a solid Sitka spruce top and HPL back and sides With a select hardwood neck.. maybe your hands are sweaty making that neck sound… the guitar is great and on sale for $449 today.. not tin canny at all, you seem To be snobbish regarding guitars.. especially once it’s plugged in you can adjust your tones and bass … learn the material bro, this review agitated the hell Out of me with you representing the wrong guitar.. those alternatives are $1500 guitars this is $449 stop your shenanigans

Mine is sick af

I bought one just like it and i love it. great tone and very versatile

Ive owned every strat fender has ever made (almost) most of them vintage inspired, strat plus, strat elite, clapton , beck , etc, etc. I had the pro 1 version it was crap but this pro2 is one hell of a guitar, one of the best ever the pups are sublime, really really good, I am going to put some in my custom shop strat. Buy it it is a home run.

Really like your demos,man. Sounds great, good job!

Sounds like a Formica guitar should. Cheers!

I’m on the fence between the 50’s & 60’s. I’m leaning towards the 50’s gold top but I wish I could play them first

What pot value you use for the volume and tone knob when using the Hotrails?

I have this exact bass, the colour is spectacular and it plays great. Slap on a set of la bella flats and away you go!

I think its great for the price.

I bought that guitar in an open box, but mine has brass saddles. Do they come with brass saddles, or did someone pull a switcheroo on mine?

Had the fret problem on my CV 50’s strat and could lift them with my pinky nail. It went back and got this same Tele in its place and had it a few years now. The nut was cut badly but other than that no issues and frets are good still on mine. I put brass saddles and better Gotoh tuners and replaced the whole control plate with a pre wired harness and it’s on par if not better than my player series now.

This video is going to cost me $5k

The body looks like it is too thick for a 70’s V.

I'm a fender guy too,but you should really try a paul with 50s wiring. You can get really thinned out nice sounds rather than the thick and dark.

What a waste. Not one guitar shown.

Having a Gibson 335 I can recommend you buy used and save some $$ if you take the time you will fine a great deal and expect to pay about $2,000 in great condition. If you buy new you will pay $3300-4400 depending on the model so its up to you but always buy from someone you can return and guarantees quality, but don't expect perfection you will have to make sure it is set up on your own and a dig or two wont matter to anyone.

Martin needs some better Marketing professionals…their offering is way too complex for all but the most rabid Martin enthusiasts to understand!

Here is how logic works.....acoustic guitars are made thin...elastic and hollow and anything you change about them changes the sound....we all agree on that...now the illogical part is that since acoustic guitars are made a certain way....why solid body electrics are made very thick,very dense and not hollow..... its almost like we made them the EXACT OPPOSITE way cause we DONT want them to influence the sound(since the amp is there)....fair?

The magic is just things you don't understand, it's fine to understand it as such but it's not good to push this on others and criticize them for thinking rationally which is what we believe Paul is doing, dismissing valid criticism in an unfair, ridiculing way. Some guitars play like magic because they have just the right setup, just the right specs and emotional/spiritual connection is also definitely a thing, those things can be very personal and subjective and no one's denying that. PRS guitars rock and their SE series is one of the most affordable quality guitars you can get, but it doesn't give Paul authority to deny scientific facts. And the facts are that standing waves produced by the strings have a set frequency depending on their length and an amplitude depending on the applied strength when plucking them. The pickups cannot physically register anything other than this. Even most of the differences when it comes to nut materials usually come from brass nuts not providing a single point of contact or very soft plastic nuts slightly deforming and muting the string due to energy transfer. No one wants to put you down for what inspires you, inspiration is fine, owning something unique and special is fine, the reason why we talk about this is beginners being fed myths and thinking they need a 5k guitar to sound like their favourite artist which is simply not true.

I got a used Road Series recently, one from before they moved the line down to mexico. I took the pickguard off, updated the pins and bridge (eventually the nut), and put Monel custom lights on. And it opened the guitar right up! I was skeptical of the richlite, but its so smooth to play on. Die hard mahogany fan, i can tell a difference tonally. Sapele has a unique sweet mellow vibe

Great vid. I have a 2014 D 18 and it’s great for fingerstyle alternate tunings. Clarity with nice bass.

Where is the link to buy guitars?

So the wings arent tone wood?😂

All that and you dont give the neck radius?

Nowadays there are PLENTY of guitars out there for under 1k and under 500 that are way better that these guitars..they just dont have the fender/squire name..the fact that these guitars come this way is proof to me that the ones building them dont care..i dont blame them.i blame the company

🫢Never buy without a try !!!!

I am not even close to an expert but I want to buy and learn to play the guitar. To me the fender sounds cleaner but hey what do I know😬

just bought one today from Georges Music! Actually my top is better figured!

Me laughing while playing my James Trussart Steelcaster. The only wood is the neck. Still sounds like a Tele.

In Cali,they're TRYING to Block the SUN, (U Snould know what THAT Means when the Sun "Acts UP"!) Today is an exeption, PROOF, There's Nothing they can Do, AND it's going to INCREASE!!

You would look better in a white lab coat . Anyway ordered this one today , should be fun plugged into High Gain Marshall and feel the F holes blow wind !

i disappointed in you, this video is advertised, you should be objective about it, we all know gibson isnt worth the money, there are so many option with same quality

Here I sit with the American professional first gen in my lap lol. I love it though.

I bought myself a lefty Epi LP Special for my birthday last October and have been playing it almost everyday, it reminds me of my tele with the two pickups. Was planning to get a Gibson LP Junior for my 70th birthday this year but coundn't wait so I got the Junior last week, I'm telling myself that it's worth the extra money over the Epi Special, it definitely looks better in Tobacco Sunburst.

Jim Lill's video on that eventually completely stripped Strat is a truly fantastic myth busting video, ..of that strat and its sound. Well, in fact all of Jim's video's are of the highest quality - although I also saw a guy commenting here, only using 'big words' and many 😂 emoji's, to prove his point Jim Lill wasn't proving anything... That guy's reaction made me think he's not so sure of his point himself 😉. ..But any way, Jim's video's are also really fun in a 'and there you have it, do what you wanna do with it' way👍. Oh, and guys. I hope most will agree on 'the more gain, the less difference in sound'. Otherwise you go and watch some SMG video's on the topic. Those are video's for dumb bass bashers and stubborn guitar freaks. Oh wel, ..stupid musicians in general. FU Glenn!

I also Have a Martin D10 E I love the way it plays Great Guitar for the price well made

You made it so clear, perfect review.

Probably top 3rd my favorite guitar that has come out in the last 10 years.

nice👍

Indian Laurel fretboard? 🤮 Tragic.

For over a grand they can at least put a maple top on instead of the veneer.

Нету у нас в стране магазов с такими гитарами, а в которых есть меня не пустят. Тк я бомж. У нас говно сервис - только для тех у кого есть бабло. Такчто надо за границу щупать( к сожалению. У нас только танки и мужики в военной технике

Its fair enough price that it will likely end up in my collection

man these are bad arguments lol, you sound like a lunatic. your feel, vibes and in the room experience has nothing to do with if wood has a substantial impact on the tone of an electric guitar lmao. The craftsmanship is impressive but what in the hell does that have to do with the argument? Yeah a PRS looks magnificent compared to a 2x4 - so what? You sound like you're in a cult man, it's not that hard to accept the reality and science. I get you on the vibe and feel of certain guitars and how magical it can feel - that's an amazing feeling, still doesn't have anything to do with tonewood. You can find countless sources of scientific study on this topic and you're just closing your eyes because of some vibes and a guitar salesman. You look up your horoscope and place crystals around your room too? Geez.
