Italia Rimini 12

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

In a way even it's a 12 string, I'm still intrigued to hear it heavily overdriven with lots of fuzz, But then that's me :)

[definegravitay]

ricki knockoff lol

[drumrnva]

Plimsouls!



[scecher100]

3:06 The Kinks "This Man He Weeps Tonight"

[Celticsaint777]

what kind of amp are you plugged into?

[DUI59]

Great review - Thanks! You can play too ;-) I might treat myself to one of these babies ...

[nativesspoken]

The Italia Rimini 12 combined with The Plimsouls! Greatness...Wahi'

[rodrigorivero25]

Does anybody know if these guitar i neck heavy when played standing up? i am really interested in buying it but that could be a deal-breaker for me

[keeffan49]

well hello rickenbacker copy?

[braddersthemod]

@keeffan49 shhhhh!! Don't say that too loud! lol

[THEGUITARSHAMMAN]

@keeffan49 pretty damn good copy to me and has similar quality but great price

[the1nameless]

Song at @3.50 anyone?

[LexMan89]

Hey PGS,

Please review the EHX Ravish, I'd love to know how it sounds!

[Fenderkid67]

taldnted man to finger pick a twelve with such clarity! haha

[falaqdad15]

anyone recognize the song at 1:54? :-)

[TheSludger]

Strange name.. (Rimini is the worst seaside of Italy... XD)

[henry12350]

this might be a silly question, but do you guys think you'll end up stocking or doing a video on Ritter's princess Isabella guitars?

[RobbyLanta94]

RADIO FREE EUROPE!

[v0odoochild001]

I was hoping to hear Maggie May and Hotel California. Nice guitar though. I'm thinking of getting this or the Eastwood 12 strings...don't really wanna spend a lot on one until I use a 12 string more often.

[MunjieJump]

it's like a rickenbacker but hideous

[GV14982]

Can you guys demo the six string model?

[41raz]

3:05 does Andy know what the pick is?

[mo28mabini]

shimmering tone. ..

[futari1122]

What is the song at 0:58?

Can somebody tell me?

Thanks!!!

[johnorlitta]

@kevmilla

Thank you Buddies!!!

[Socioistic]

I'm mostly a bass player, not a guitar player, so excuse my ignorance, but I thought the octave string was on the bottom for guitar, and on the top for bass, because of the most usual way either one is played.

[JamesFerrerosa]

i think you should give me a guitar for being a subscriber

[angrygoldfish]

People asked for cheaper guitars. PGS answered.

[Lightbulbs33]

@angrygoldfish That's why PGS is my absolute favorite guitar retailer.

[ubdejones1]

incredible sound

[pulse0000]

A poor mans Rickenbacker guitar.

[gokolink]

Guys you are scaring me now. Just a few days ago i was thinking of getting the reverend manta ray and then i was looking at the rimini. The thing is Andy can sell me absolutely anything.

[beanboyo]

Rickenbacker esque!

[Cheddar420ful]

Radio Free Europe/Living Loving Maid Sweet combo.

[seth3556r]

I honestly have no reason for a 12 string guitar. not good for soloing, i don't like folk music, and what else can I say? they just aren't worth what you pay for them.

[rexasul]

@seth3556r They are worth it if you want a 12 string. And why aren't they good for soloing? Not everyone plays blues.

[KnowMyStyle]

i hate 12 strings only because of lazyness, i hate changing the strings all friggin 12 of them.

[HeerDutchman]

Where this guitar been made? However cool guitar, love the 12 string electric sound!

[tpaz98]

"Hey lady, you got the love on..."

WAIT WHERE IS OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

[gottaseeit46]

Do you carry any six string models?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@gottaseeit46 - Yes, we carry the six-string version of the Rimini on our website. Thanks!

-PGS

[EpictheEpicest]

how could you do a 12 string demo with no "Wish You Were Here"?

[WallaceTheHorse]

Sexy guitar, and it's surprisingly affordable.

[masterbeat04]

i've never heard a 12 string in high gain before... hmmmm.. no body steal my idea >:D

[JohnRegular180]

Radio Free Europe :D

[WTig3r]

agathis is a crap sounding wood.. too bad

[Acruhf]

@WTig3r

Crap sounding? Did any of that video sound like crap to you?

[MrDblStop]

@WTig3r Use your ears rather than your prejudice based on something you read online. Sounds pretty good to me.

[iagobroxado]

@WTig3r does the video sound crappy to you?

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

Are they normal mini hum sized pickups and does anyone know if you can replace them with ric toasters to get even closer to that sound.

[DementedSquirel]

who cares that it is made in Korea... it sounds beautiful and looks sexy. Kia and Hyundai cars are made their and they are good. Period.

[Desmaad]

Hey Andy, next time you demo a 12-string, how about playing "Harris and the Mare" by Stan Rogers? It's a folk song, but I think it's fitting.

[AXLROSE4LYF]

tuning/restringing must be a bitch.

[Tubbymcgee]

Do you have any Bass demos? I see way more guitar demos than bass.

[guyinfuckinghat]

i thought these were discontinued 

[okamasphere]

Are you using a pick Andy? I can never tell. When you finger pick it looks like you are actually holding a pick

[6730]

Can you guys demo some of the EKO guitars you got in stock?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@6730 Stay tuned!

[RHCPFitz]

Andy throwing the pick @ 3:05 like a boss.

[WhiteLightnin3]

What song is he playing at 3:06? I can't figure it out.

[bbp6]

@WhiteLightnin3 Did you ever figure out what song this is? It's driving me crazy! Does anyone know the song at 3:06?

[giggs102]

rickenbacker. :O

[TheAlexkru]

looks kinda like a rickenbacker

[Desmaad]

@TheAlexkru I think that's what it's trying to emulate.

[RelaxNplay64]

How does it compare to a rickenbacker?

[mymusicjeter]

andy throw a pick at 3:05

- Gimme that pick !

[TheHawkdaddy]

Oh please tell me there will be more Italia reviews.

[remurdereht]

andy is good at 12s.

[lucradiste]

Weird, but nice.

[Itswarmeven]

A Million Miles Away.

[menga111]

wow i asked and you delivered, that is service

thankyou

[TacooGrill]

first song? before the led zep riff?

[mattclark07]

@TacooGrill "Radio Free Europe" - R.E.M.

[NicholasViens]

@TacooGrill the very first thing he plays sounds like please please me by the beatles

[TacooGrill]

@NicholasViens of course!

[pimpleburger]

Wow that was a wonderful demo! Very musical and showing off what the guitar can do nicely. I never knew I wanted a 12 string until now lol

[NeutralSnap]

LIVIN'! LOVIN'!

[avw94]

I love how Andy just tosses away the pick. He's just like "Screw it! I play with my fingers."

[bigtorquehemi]

This thing sounds amazing!

[DarthSmittius]

Very cool.

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

I just hope this thing stays in tune well, because it must be a bitch to tune:p

[JourneyAnyWay]

That sounds awesome! Electric 12 string with overdrive on it. I don't know why that's not used more on recordings!

[runutsutube]

Oo No pickup selector ? the guitar is locked on the middle position ? What a strange choice. Nice tone though.

Oh and even if founder Trev Wilkinson is british, those are definitely crafted in korea (wikipedia).

[StevesGuitars]

@runutsutube Itt seems like one of the knobs is actually a three way selector. Around 0:45 Andy turns it and a "Bridge Pickup" caption appears in the top right corner.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@runutsutube There are two pickup volumes, so you can roll one off entirely or blend any combination. Thanks,

PGS 

[johnorlitta]

@ProGuitarShopDemos That still is strange, but interesting. Nice sounding guitar, I immediately thought of thr Byrds sound as soon as you started playing.

[sbvikings30]

wow, really good price for this

[edadmartin]

probably the first PGS demo of a 12 stringer  cool !!

[SirLizardLick]

3:04 Pick???

[edadmartin]

pick--no pick--- awesome player-- love that head stock--- unique guitar.

[youenjoy00myself]

OMG, Andy using a pick?? I never thought I'd see the day! :) Really helped to bring out that sweet jangly-ness.

[bluetomatorecords]

@youenjoy00myself This isn't the first video in which Andy has a pick.

[qaawale]

like the pick toss...

[Gitarmorten]

I wonder how it sounds with overdrive... :)

[metalcore929]

This guitar sounds great!

[bigf0ot27]

RADIO FREE EUROPE!

[wildkidpat]

love it. might need a 12 string now.

[metalvocalistwanted]

right on \\m//

[sIash90]

why would a Korean company call their guitars Italia Guitars with each model named after an Italian city... that's awkward to me...

But this did sound very good. I would sure try one if I see it in a store.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@sIash90 It's not a Korean company. This is Trev WIlkinsons company. He's British. ;)

[xdivinebladex]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Point still remains valid haha

[sIash90]

@ProGuitarShopDemos oh... my bad hehehe I thought I read it somewhere. Also their site had a Korean address to contact them and a line said "we at Italia Guitars no sells direct" which didn't sound like it was written by an English speaking person XD

By I shouldn't make an argument about it. I still like the guitar :)

[sIash90]

@sIash90 *but

[DrRazzberry]

@ProGuitarShopDemos woah, woah... let me get this straight... so, it's an iconic American-designed guitar build by a British company with an Italian name, made in Korea?.... Also, great playing as always.

[sIash90]

@DrRazzberry hahaha exactly!! :D

[m1garandisthebest]

@ProGuitarShopDemos ....how embarrassing...

[Desmaad]

@ProGuitarShopDemos The factory is Korean, I think.

[moucon]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Well, yeah technically - its a British company importing guitars made in Korea. These are still Asian-made instruments. I don't have heartburn for South-Korean produced stuff - it's the Chinese child-labor trademark/brand infringing sweat shops we should all be boycotting.

[kobayashimaruaikiken]

@sIash90 They are made in Korea and inspired by Eko, Crucianelli and other italian brands of the sixties...

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@sIash90

I think it is named Italia because a lot of their models are reminiscent of the typical weird 60's guitars made in Europe, like EKO

[sIash90]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 you're right! I haven't thought about it! That makes sense. I forgot about EKOs I haven't seen one in a while... they're good guitars too

[acledfloyd]

I love that Rickenbacker look, without being just a copy.

[MenaPaws21]

Beautiful guitar, Theres just something about 12 strings!!

[pochoclo16]

andy using a pick??? lol

[megajames3000]

it's actually a really good guitar this time. cool.

[jomarthegreat1]

hold up. 3:05 ... was Andy USING A PICK THE WHOLE TIME?

[ArielsSmartyPants]

Wowa, I saw the pick in Andie's hand :)

[CraigSpannier]

@ArielsSmartyPants well it is a 12 string

[ZepIV]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­S

[cosmogang]

That's a hefty guitar!

[GuitarBlues3]

Beautiful.

[primalconcretefear]

firs... oh screw it. nice guitar.

[dimlightbulb10]

Looks like a Rickenbacker that loves McDonalds. Still sounds great, though.
