SOLI DEO GLORIA! - Hudba
I don't think I've ever seen a guitar with all these unique features on it before! REALLY cool guitar!
Great for anyone into blues, country, bluegrass, folk etc

Enjoy!
That rubber bridge goes against everything I've ever learned as a guitar maker, but it sounds damn cool none the less!
Lol it is wild. Great lengths to make the instrument resonate.
I think it is notable that most rubber bridge guitars I've seen are parlors or cheaper vintage acoustics that don't resonate super well.
Might NEED to clean your ears out!
You make Guitars and you didn't recognize this actually has a WOOD BRIDGE with a Rubber SADDLE?
Great. First time I come across something in this channel that I don’t wish to have.
😂
I appreciate you taking time to give this guitar a review. Definitely not the sound I would ever have a use for. My curiosity made me weave a length of surgical tubing through the strings at the bridge of my Takamine CDE and acheived much the same muted tone.
Discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago. I like what you are doing. You get your information out there. You inform the people. You give your point of view. Most liked is you give samples of how instruments sound and play without going overboard. Love it! Lot of reviewers seem like they are making an excuse to play guitar on camera (don't care for that). Please keep the videos coming!
Very interesting tonality. Like you said it does that vintage smokey blues very well.
"That 'thumpy" kind of attack, without sustain "
Top notch features!
U can keep it 👍
Unique! I like the sound.
Missed opportunity to chugga chugg chugg with this built-in palm-muting XD
I bet this baby is a metal monster in disguise 🤘
I’m considering learning how to play slide just so that I could get me one of those and play it. Wow, that sounded amazing!
Very interesting! Unusual bridge, pickup, sound, but it's cool! 👋 😁
i actually like the volume knob placement it helps with the way its ornamented alongside the burst, guard, and tail.
Cool concept for this Juniper. I have a parlour guitar so I already love the size. Pretty choked down tone with both flat wound and the rubber bridge, belies what you'd expect from even a small form like the parlour. I heard the banjo tone you mentioned for sure though muted. I'd say this could make a good blues guitar but I'd like to hear this with wound strings and that rubber bridge.
Hi Darrell, a very different rig!! When playing slide would mind identifying if you’re using standard tuning, or an open tuning. Thanks!!
Love the intro - swampy.
Love to see you playing some slide
Nice review
I don’t know what it is, but that sound takes me back to early Peter Green music, beautiful
Kind of, Classical Guitar and a Banjo have a baby and it's a good one. Love some of your licks Darrell.
It sounds like a Basie twangy banjo very nice
Hi did you actually do a sound sample without any affects so we could hear its natural tone?
Nice one!
I like when luthiers take chances, thanks Darrell, for presenting unique one-off guitars like this!
This is a production guitar, not one-off?
This is awesome!....... hopefully they wont be too hard to get
Be good if you could have a bridge with interchangeable bone or rubber saddles? Sweet little guitar
Very interesting guitar. The sound is unique and it gives you a lot of options, not only for some traditional stuff... It would be fun to make some doom metal with it. It's crazy, I know, but I like it.
I will have a look, if I can order it here in Germany.
I love the pickup location. I have always wondered if we'd see neck pickup that updated the Gibson J-160e. But not a fan of the sound.
Darrel, you still have that Strat-Tele hybrid?
You better put that wedding band back on before your ol lady sees you without it 😂
I love the clunky sound of the guitar
Good morning, I'm Vincenzo, an Italian Who lives in Nl . I always follow his channel, his truly professional channel! I would like some advice:
I would like to change the volume and tone potentiometers (which don't work properly), of my jazz guitar bought used (Ibanez AFJ81), with only one Seymour Duncan SH-2N pickup. I would like to’ buy 2 quality potentiometers that fit there. What do you advise me?
Interrsting & unique sound. Maybe shud have a way to rotate bridge 90° for normal bright sound? ❤😊
I hear the Allman Brothers Band when you play that thing. It's definitely old school Blues and Classic Rock.
Kinda like my old silvertone parlor..mine isnt inngood shape finish wise but its cool i need a new bridge to intonate it.looks like a 30s era but not sure im gns look it up
Playable without pickup?
What’s the finger style song he played?
I can hold my hand across my nylon string guitar and get the same sound - kinda like Willie Nelson playing "you were always on my mind " ( the solo part) !
That back grain reminds me of that of an Epi SG. And yeah, rubber for a bridge material, on paper, sounds like the worst material to make a guitar bridge out of. Makes me wonder what else people have tried.
Also, that cupcake knob gives me John Lennon vibes, maybe a little Kurt Cobain as well.
Probly be a neat way to spice things up if your an acousticy singer songwriter!
Justin Johnson would love this 😊
A you give us a list of songs that can be played on this guitar.
Please play the ‘It Might Get Loud’ version of “I Fought Piranhas” with that thing!
Would you recommend Orangewood for intermediate guitar players?
Most definitely, I’ve had my orange wood echo live acoustic for years and it’s gotten me from the beginning stages all the way to upper intermediate, still plays smoothly and sounds amazing
Amazing! It has a WOOD BRIDGE with a RUBBER SADDLE. Why don't people know the names of Guitar Parts today?
Finally a way to remove all resonance from my acoustic performances. This sucka's deader than a shoebox. I'm IN!!
This will appeal to the indie folk crowd
@DarrelBraunGuitar Immediately fell in in love with this thing!!!!!!! Please send it to my send and receive place I work with!!!!!
Can you not get a similar sound palm muting? I think anyone who buys one will replace the rubber bridge after a couple of weeks and have a nice parlor guitar.
This is the Abradolf Linkler under the guitars
How can I ever not call it the Orangewood Julius
If I fronted a Cake cover band, this guitar would be perfect lol
I’m not real keen on the tones, I might try a rosewood bridge to add some clear tones in there.
I really like those old blues tones from the 50’s, like John Lee Hooker’ acoustic work, or early Taj Mahal.
Darrell, please start a subscription based guitar school. I’d pay to learn from you.
Just split a length of small rubber automotive vacuum hose up one side and slip it under the strings and over the saddle of any acoustic guitar. Small clear oxygen hose will work as well. Same effect without ANY modification, and save your money for something you REALLY want.
It’s sold out. Your video listed just two days ago.
Not bad for a temporary guitar sound. Of course a rubber bridge will likely self destruct.
My first guitar sounded like this....
Great job as usual DB. I was given a free new guitar today, a Kadence Acoustica Series all the way from India...wishmeluck...
I once bought a $30 fake "backpacker" guitar for a mod project. It also did not resonate and made thumpy noises.
Darrell, you hate it!
For dark grass music 😂
Sounds more like a rubber band guitar (BTW a great name for a band)
rubber bridge = less sustain?
Yes
You can just put a piece of rubber on the bridge of a regular acoustic. Pretty sure the sound will be similar.
Dang, a rubber bridge😮
Sounds like a Lidl guitar.
Yes, this guitar is "different".
It’s an acoustic Fender Jaguar with the mute flipped up permanently.😂
...so basically, it's a six-string baritone uke with a bridge mute? I've heard of people hunting for these. They're on a uke hunt.
This 12-fret guitar design might benefit from putting the pickup at the bottom of the sound hole.
Maybe it's me, but I don't get it. Yes, the sound is unique. I find it hard to believe that there was all this pent up demand for a guitar that goes thumpity thump. Obviously I'm wrong. Have the feeling that this will be the guitar with the most layers of dust, sitting in the corner.
This dude with his TEETH
Kinda like the guitar equivalent of a honky tonk piano.
That’s funny. I thought having a rubber bridge would kill the sustain and mute the nice acoustic tones…. and I was right. Also, the finish on that top looks like a toy K-mart guitar. But like you said, it’s not meant to appeal to everybody; only those who want a cheap looking guitar that sounds like it’s broken.
But what does it sounds like acoustic? You can't demo an acoustic guitar and not play it acoustic--come on now.
That's not how you would usually use a guitar like this. It's probably going to sound like a jazz electric semisolid unplugged mixed with a nylon sting guitar.
That’s not its intended use
The rubber bridge dampens the acoustic output a lot. The electric tone is really the intended and best tone.
@@KleyDeJong I have a rubber bridge guitar. It sounds much better acoustic.
I agree, the reviewer missed a big point by not playing an acoustic guitar acoustic..
Interesting but limited application guitar! Definitely for that "old" bluegrass, the 20s/30s blues, slide, I get it. Anything else? Nah🤣
Sounds like a nylon string guitar with a damp towel across the strings. Not too much application for that kind of sound.
Looks cool, but I don’t care for the sound. Thanks for sharing it with us.
they are sold out thanks to ****ing youtubers but you can do this easily with a jim dandy or whatever. Just get rubber tape. cut a piece that fits right up against the saddle, and pushes just slightly into the strings, and then cut slits for the strings. It takes experimentation, and every guitar will respond differently, but you sure as hell don't need to buy one of those moonwood or whoever's 4K silliness. These ones you found look cool. But this has been done for many years as a mod, similar to felt, it just got on the radar because of basic billionaires who can barely play but somehow are super big deals.
I consider this channel to be the most honest and best guitar review channel in the world. But today, I noticed something fishy about this video. Darrell was clearly trying to trick his audience by falsely praising such a useless instrument in the manner of a 'cunning marketing guy'. I didn't expect that from you, Darrell.
The saddle would be rubber and the bridge is still wood.
Nice guitar, except for the pickup, bridge, and tailpiece.
It's a modded gretsch Jim dandy . It's a great idea. Jim dandy 189$ this at 395 also good deal looks like, all cheaper than a national😀
It reminds me of some old guitars I saw as a kid on the top but just a lot cooler.
LoFi acoustic)
What the 🏒🏒, so now we're to lazy to learn how to palm mute or likely 100 other ways to accomplish this w/o permanently killing the tone of the guitar?
It looks great, and has that funky, '30s/'40s sound. That said, it's kind of a one-trick pony, and if you don't always want to sound like Robert Johnson, you'll want to have something else on hand to play as well…
america! love it.... wait oh slapped out in china
An attractive guitar. Don't care for the sound.
Usually like Orange wood guitars, but I'm not a fan of this guitar......
Way to muted and the tail piece makes the tone way too muted! I would try it with a standard pin bridge and maybe half flats for strings, yeah & cheers.
The whole point is the muting. It's like saying a tele is too twangy. It's intended to give you a new and unique flavor that's distinct from other guitars.
I know Taylor Swift uses a rubber bridge on some of her guitars
Aaron Dessner played a lot of rubber bridge Kay guitar parts on Taylor Swift's Folklore and Evermore albums.
Well, that sucks!
"Promo SM"
So it's like a gretsch with a mute?...that you can't turn off.. ..don't bass' have mutes as well that you can take off.
Old Mac Donald - cheap sound 1,75 $ ...
Sounds like a dead nylon string guitar in an average guitar class.
Nope
Why would they put a rubber on the bridge? To sound terribly bad.
Exactly as I expected a rubber bridge to sound to be honest
They boast removing all the pleasant frequencies!
The hottest thing in acoustic guitars the past several years, but I guess you missed that.
@@bostonbesteats364 jeje, glad I did then!
@@KleyDeJong You are 100% right, however I believe you can achieve that particular tone with other methods, and can reverse the change easily, but yeah probably someone likes that tone!
Besides, that rubber bridge will probably wear out fast
Sounds like a plastic toy guitar with nylon strings. I get the overall idea, but it wouldn't be for me.
Sorry, but that rubber bridge is eventually going to wear out. The strings are going slowly cut into the rubber, making tuning impossible.
