What are these like to play? I always struggle with acoustics Action wise

emg 81 and emg60 and piezo which you can adjust without steps to the other pickups

Yeah, I've got a question: "Why are you feeling up your own bicep?"

Great video. Clearest I’ve watched on this topic. Will help enormously. Not bothered about the professionalism of the vid - it’s the content that matters. Too many teachers these days get hung up about the vid…😊

Прекрасные гитары ❤но Grand Auditorium понравился больше больше баса . Очень шикарно !

I have owned many furchs and played even more... I've never played or owned anything below a yellow series but I'm sure their lower tier guitars are more of the same. The OM is usually the easier of the 2 to get the melody to speak when playing fingerstyle. The bass is still sufficient to have a warm sound and the volume is way more than enough to be strummed. So, really if you prefer one over the other for some reason (sound, comfort, looks, ...) just get that one and stop thinking about it! However, if you play fingerstyle in alternate tunings, I 100% recommend the GC models. They simply have a bigger, richer sound which sounds magical when used with alternate tunings. I always preferred the OM models for standard tuning (and slight variations such as drop D), but the GC models gave me goosebumps when played in Open D tuning for example.

Rich I would love to know your opinion on the Faith Blue Moon! I’m from the US and can’t find one to play around here. They are so stunning though I am really close to pulling the trigger I just can’t find any quality reviews on them.

I’ve always agreed with Rich on this one..

The same model without the cutaway would sound stunning , and just vibrate and ring forever. Thats just me, never been a fan of acoustic cutaways. But furch really are a High end build

Can definitely hear the difference. Thanks for comparing WELL DONE!

Good God that is a beautiful guitar, wart or no wart. I'm finding difficult to keep my grubby hands out of the piggy bank...

I've played dozens of Taylors, both 6 and 12 string, over the years and never yet played one I've actually liked. Your description of their sound as 'sterile' is absolutely bang on: in fact I'd go further and describe the Taylor sound as 'lifeless,' and often with a horrible mid-spike that I find deeply unpleasant. I also think they're absurdly expensive for what are in essence factory-made guitars and I can't understand why anybody would pay that much money for a mass-produced instrument. Were I in the lucky position to be able to drop a sizeable four-figure sum on an acoustic guitar I'd be going to the likes of Fylde or Brook and ordering a custom, handmade instrument to my own specification that would blow the likes of Taylor out of the water. I genuinely can't understand why more people don't go down the luthier route when spending significant sums of money on an instrument as opposed to buying a guitar off the shelf.

Very helpful in making a foundational concept accessible

7 years later and this video is still relevant. Mine is scheduled to be delivered to me in 2 more days. I wish it would hurry up because I'm starting to lose sleep over it.

great review, comprehensive, personable, informative

That acoustic modeling is really great. I currently own a Line 6 JTV-59 Variax, and I love it, so I’m a little bit familiar with modeling guitars. Does the Godin have a virtual capo like the Variax?

Love your videos and the passion you have for the guitars you stock. Looking forward when I have enough money to buy a Dowina Clive Asher Poet of Harmonies

It's like £300 now xD are these the sort of guitar that gain value over time

I ordered a t70d

The auditorium size sounds great. But I play the orchestra due to the size makes it more comfortable for long playing. My OM has an Adirondack top so I get more headroom and lush sounds out of the smaller size.

I think in this case the client is absolutely wrong. Wood is a living thing, so organic so unique. Expecting perfection from that which is imperfect, is madness. In fact, that mark is so unique, so natural that is a shame the client didn't want the guitar.

Hi Richard, I’m curious how the Paduak would sound on a Dowina Nylon Hybrid guitar, cedar or spruce? What is your opinion versus a rosewood back and side? So many amazing tonewoods from Dowina to choose from!! 😀

Thanks to you Richard ❤

Like a few others in the comments here, I too disagree with your assessment. I have a Martin x series, bought for just under $500. I get so many compliments from others on the quality of its sound. It survived my days in a college dorm and a frat house without a scratch. Compared to other solid wood guitars around the same price range, I often think my x series Martin feels and sounds better. I might get flack for saying this, but recently I played a Gibson hummingbird, and it almost sounded cheap compared to my Martin. Not saying laminate is superior, but maybe it’s not as bad as the older folks think it is.

Excellent lesson. Well done e

Yr videos are rubbish. The guitars need to be heard, not you.

We're you using amplification?

Dowina guitars are art!! 😀👍 Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking works of art…❤

Nice guitars. It's nice to see guitars from other builders. I like the darker woods so the one with ebony is interesting. Looks like good work.

I just revisited this video and, although I liked the first guitar most the last time I watched this, today I'm picking up a ringing noise from one of the treble strings. I have a hunch a quarter turn of the truss would fix that. Also, every time you lifted your arm off a guitar, I would hear the tone noticeably open up. And that right there is why I have installed an armrest on every one of my acoustic guitars, four of which are Eastman.

Vintage Guitars are very good guitars and the Revo series are amazing! 👍 As for Gibson they are like Fender...over priced and trade on thier name. Yes the Gibson in this video sounds a little better but not by much but Im sorry, an extra £2600 in the price isn't justified. 🙄

Mahogany is a natural compressor

It doesn't matter what we think we didn't order the guitar.

I am beginner, it helped me lot, thanks .

Very nice lesson! Thank you!

I would love to learn from the guys at Dowina, do they offer training sessions on how to build classical and acoustic guitars ?

The Spruce is a bit more airy, also a wee boost of the High Treble, almost Chimey and Ringing, very Nice though; Not Harsh. The Cedar is kind of boosted in the low Mid and Higher Mid, with very Wee Roll off in the Highs; which overall is a Sweet and Warmer Sound than the Spruce. BOTH have Full across Even Tones both Strumming and Picking: a Testament to Quality Woods I would Say!! In Final: Both are Excellent Guitars, so in Choosing which One: it Depends what You'll Be Using it for; RE: IN a Group or on Stage, the Spruce will Cut Better in the Mix with the Other Instruments!! Whereas the Cedar would more likely Warm up the Overall Sound and Tones with a Solo Singer Songwriter, with a Warm, Mellow, Wide Brush of Tones to Compliment and Surround the Singer's Voice without Overpowering it!! Of Course, Both 'could be' made to Sound 'almost' Identical if Put through a Good on Stage Mixer, then EQd slightly different from each other and with some slight added Compression on the Mixer Channels, and some very slight barely there added Reverb on each Guitar; to Warm and Fill the Tone and Sustain of each Guitar. 👍👍🎵🎶🍀

Learned a lot here 👍

What a lovely video. Just proves that a happy, valued and inspired workforce will absolutely produce wonderful results time and time again. If only we could all be employed in such a place to experience even a fraction of this. Thank you. This was such a treat. X

FGN has always made great guitars. It's better than made in the USA

The Vintage’s ceramic magnet pickups stick out, like a sore thumb. Gibson uses the calibrated T-type pickups with Alnico 2 magnets. It’s a world of difference.

What’s the difference between the Hyvibe 10, 20, & 30?

Hey Richard, I watched these videos during the Covid dark days and am again going over them. I was in a Zoom class with some fellow blues players and a fellow named Chris, who had a Britt accent, and he was masterfully explaining how blues basics could take you a long way, he makes his living playing with a band. So today 6/29/2024, I spotted your videos and remembered how you were presenting the same concepts and now going back through your videos. Thanks for your clear instructions.

I do like your lessons. I know quite a bit the theory and that makes it absolutely interesting. So thanks for the lesson. Looking forward to the next.

❤

Beautiful song. The loudens are also very nice

What a beautiful and inspiring video! ❤ I am a huge fan of Dowina and all thanks to Richards guitar for introducing them to me 😊 I have the Dowina OMG Rosewood and the OMG says it all! It is my absolute pride and joy! There is some magic going on with Dowina 😊 my guitar has transformed me as a musician. It’s the most beautiful sounding acoustic guitar and I’m spreading the word! If you are here and wondering if you should get one, then yes! do it! You won’t regret it! ❤😊 And, check out Richards Guitar shop. You will have a personalised buying experience that will leave you with a nice warm feeling, no box-pushers here! Authentic and passionate people who genuinely care ❤

Dowina guitars are beautiful. It was nice to see Richard going to the workshop. I know he loves and appreciates the quality of them from his videos. I found Richard's website and his enthusiasm was evident so I had to get a Dowina. I now have 3 and they are stunning. I hope they make a 12 string at some point in the future.

Amazing company, and for their instruments to be so beautiful at the prices that they ask, conveys a level of humility and unpretentious goodwill to musicians that you're never going to encounter with more celebrated boutique builders.

I never cared for Taylor's sound i guess im to accustomed to cheap stuff😂
