Harley Benton 8 String Jazzmaster - Andrew Baena Sig

[KnightBrolaire]

It baffles me how shockingly little the dude knows about gear to be making a living doing gear reviews.

I thought he mostly got popular for doing dumb shit like making metal versions of little kid songs and "___ song but in drop z"

Guy’s band is pretty meh, his “reviews” are as safe as they come.

Edit: based on his collection, I wouldn’t have ever guessed he’d go for a sea foam green offset on a roasted maple neck as his sig

HB probably got a blowout deal on seafoam green paint and told him the color is gonna be what the color is gonna be.

I'm only half joking.

Thank goodness someone else said it.

I wouldn’t even call his content “reviews” in the proper sense. More like broad “spec rundowns” with covers of pre-existing songs from other artists along with mindless chugging ripped right from Ola Englund.

Imagine “being the Drop Z dude” as being your online branding or image…

To be fair, his target demographic's primary concern is whether: (1) this make the good chug or (2) this no make the good chug.

Wish he had a simple review system: CHUG or NO-CHUG (but Ola already does that).

Also should I know who this guy is?

That's 99% of guitar sigs these days

Looks like a jaguar to me

Well if you had eyes, this is what a jaguar looks like:

They both should just shorten their videos to being nothing more than 10-15 second video shorts with zero talking and simply either a thumbs-up (CHUG) or a thumbs-down (NO-CHUG) at the end.

That's it.

It doesn't need to be anything more than just that.

Disagree. I enjoy watching Ola honestly as much for his personality and person as I do for the gear shit. If I want to watch someone demonstrate dizzying technique or blandly read off the specs for a guitar or amp, I don't need YouTube for that. I can listen to Tosin or look at Sweetwater's product descriptions
