  • Baxter and Jonathan discuss the guitar manufacturers secret lists of naughty or nice CZcamsrs. If you are nice you get products to review, if you're naughty you get nothing, so you better say nice things if you want to be in the review game.

    What I love about this channel that other guitar oriented channels do not offer:
    The videos start out fast, and within a minute I feel like I’m on a train careening toward a cliff, statements like “free balling it,” get tossed around, I get completely confused as to how we ended up at Bjork, then, we nail the landing with enlightened information.
    It’s like I have spent 10 minutes with the Joker if he were the Buddha.

      @@SeanAllocca yeah but here’s the thing. Fender might not send him freebies anymore, BUT Phil is willing to buy Fenders out of his own pocket if enough viewers request that he review certain models. Fender can’t silence Phil from showing any legit QC and/or others issues, and I respect Phil for his honesty and willingness to put his name on the line even if it means he won’t get some free perks from _______ brand.
      To be fair, the brands should actively be working with honest people like him to fix the problems being pointed out. They could prove that the issues have been resolved by having Phil get random samples from a few different shops/suppliers to compare and see if the issues still exist. They could even have him making a video from their factory to show how they’ve beefed up training and QC to prevent those problems going forward. Instead of “banning” him from getting freebies, customers would see Fender taking active steps to improve their products, which would result in more sales and less returns at the end of the day.
      I’m sorry, but Fender is losing out by banning CZcamsrs who tell the truth when there’s an even better marketing opportunity to recognize flaws and show they’ve been resolved. Most customers don’t take anything seriously when most CZcamsrs have nothing negative to critique - there’s no such thing as perfect, so it makes people question the brand (and CZcamsrs doing that) even more. Honesty is always the best policy, as is turning negatives into positives.

    When a video game reviewer plays a game, they’re playing the same version that all the reviewers are. When a film critic sees a film, it’s the same one we all do. Guitar quality is very variable. We all know two Les Pauls or two Fender Amps can sound and feel very different, and you can end up with the one with a QC issue in 1000. I don’t think if you have a review guitar you can say it is the same as all of the rest of the production, good or bad. What you can prove is how the company deals with an issue, and if they’re snotty then you can say that. Even if I’ve seen bad reviews for a music product, if I try it out and love it I’ll buy it.
    There’s also an argument the bad reviews get more views than glowing ones. That and thumbnails with a tortured angry face next to a guitar.

I sincerely hope I am putting off any potential big brand suitors well in advance with my ill-informed yet honest reviews and my British sense of humour as I fear my moral principles would be severely challenge by the offer of any free Gibson or Fender 🤔 Cheers guys, I think you may have opened a can of worms here!! 😆👍

    So today........ I bit the bullet and drove down to Casino Guitars. Points of Great Importance follow:
    1. GO! Stop talking about it and go.
    2. I was very fortunate and got to talk to the Dynamic Duo in person (in fact, I ambushed Jonathan looking at photos of chickens when I walked in the door and an hour later I left with a new Martin).
    3. The guys are EXACTLY what you see on the videos, no pretension, no tomfoolery, no backslapping and/or glad-handing. They are real people and they will talk to you under the assumption that you too are a real person (or possibly a Viking).
    4. The place smells amazing, it is worth the drive just to breathe that nitrocellulose infused air.
    5. Parking.... we won't talk about parking.
    6. These people appreciate your business. They know there are other places you can purchase from (but those other places don't have the Baxter & Jonathan show live and playing in real time right in front of you, so at the risk of being redundant, just GO there and buy stuff).
    7. If you have a beard of some dimension, Baxter will go grab his cell phone and insist that you and Jonathan stand in very near proximity to one another so he can capture the moment. It isn't too weird, as long as you don't think too hard about it.
    It was sooooo worth the trip. Thank you Jonathan for walking me through the Martin line and getting me the right guitar.

      @@CasinoGuitars "CZcams" friends seems a bit vague because you are clearly not an independent channel and don't do what independent channels do. As you clearly said in your video... you are talking to "reps" and those are not the people taking care of marketing.
      You are also getting some terms wrong. You say brands are getting "free advertising" and that is simply incorrect. NOTHING is free. A channel isn't giving away free advertising and brands would NEVER give away a "free" guitar. Why would they do that, it makes no sense. A guitar that is placed on a channel to be seen is payment (maybe even money gets exchanged on top of that) and the channel provides a service of video production and reach. The word "FREE" should really never enter into the discussion... brands that think they can get things for FREE don't understand how it works.
      NONE of that means it can't be honest.
      You can refuse to show a product that doesn't meat your standards (that happens a lot) and let the brand know WHY it can't appear on your channel which hopefully leads to improvements.
      Your channel is a shop channel and the ultimate goal is to sell guitars from your shop, so your channel's model is clearly different.
      BUT when you talk about "channels" and you won't name any names, it sounds like it is all just made up and none of what you're saying is backed up by actual facts.
      HALF of our days are spent talking to brands and finding out what the best and most honest way to present the gear is. I will go out on a limb and say that you guys do not know what it is like to run an independent channel and maybe you should talk to some before you make videos like these.

    I remember when I first saw the acoustisonic I was like hey that looks kinda cool, a nice practice guitar you can pick up in the middle of the night and not plug in if you don’t want to. So I thought it’s gotta be about $500, but then I saw it was $2000 and that was my quickest NOPE ever.

    The Acoustisonic was a glance behind the curtain. So many CZcamsrs became fanboys and fangirls that I said to myself no way in hell. It also showed me who was beholden to the companies and who would drop an honest opinion on us. That’s the trap with a manufacturer’s naughty/nice list. Nothing is perfect and if a CZcamsr raves about everything from a manufacturer they flush their credibility and with it a large part of their audience. That’s what I like about y’all, buried in the blather about Bjork are some things I need to hear. Y’all aren’t going to lie to us to curry favor with The Man.

  • @kolchak357
    @kolchak357 Před 2 lety +4

    I watch a ton of guitar reviews. I even watch if it’s a guitar I’m not interested in. I often just want to see the features, new colors, or hear what it sounds like. But I totally disregard the opinions of those CZcamsrs that love everything the pick up. It’s impossible to like everything. My buddy loves fat necks, I don’t. And that’s ok. That’s just what you dig. QC issues need to be pointed out though. That way I will know what I might have to take care of if I buy that guitar. And the manufacturer needs to be put on notice that the issue exists and that it needs to be cleaned up. 🤘

    There are demos. There are reviews. Reviews are editorial. Demos are marketing. If you do demo gear and don't get paid in money or gear, or via kickback through an affiliate company, you're doing it wrong. If you review gear and expect to get paid by a guitar company, you're also doing it wrong - if you do get paid by a supplier for what masquerades as 'review', it's called 'cash of commentary' and it's illegal where I live.

    Put simply: you can’t trust the word of the someone who potentially self censors in order to keep a manufacturer happy. I’d never buy anything on the basis of what those channels say, for that very reason.
    It’s one of the reasons I like this channel. You call it as you see it.
    I’d also have suspicions about some channels doing post production on their videos on the sound of the guitar they’re promoting (I say promoting - they’re not reviewing it - you have to be impartial to be reviewing a product) to make it sound as good as possible.

What I didn’t appreciate was the video with guitar hunter guy. I go to the guys web site and he has no freaking guitars man. All he’s trying to do is teach people how to buy guitars? Come the F on man. So the marketing thing is definitely happening even with the good ol boys at casino guitars.
