Warning: You WILL Want This Guitar | Balaguer

Uploaded February 2026 | Updated September 2026, 4 hours ago

Andy reunites with Jake at the Balaguer booth to check out a stunning new custom build. They talk premium materials, hand-aged details, and surprisingly great noiseless pickups.

Front and center is a heritage-style offset from Balaguer Guitars featuring a nitro-finished ash body in jade green metallic with tastefully aged hardware.
The roasted maple neck stands out for its ultra-premium feel, showing the difference that higher-grade roasting and finishing can make.
Loaded with Seymour Duncan “Mad Cat Silencer” P90-style pickups, the guitar delivers vintage character with none of the usual single-coil noise.

Thanks to the sponsors of my NAMM trip.

Welcome back to The Week in Gear, where the guitars are gorgeous, the prices are sometimes questionable , and the FOMO is absolutely industrial strength.

Then the JHS Kilt 10 arrives in its tartan trousers, based on the old X-Pandora but refined, more controllable, and capable of everything from clean boost to full gated fuzz chaos thanks to those G1 and G2 toggles. From there we head into full modelling madness with the Fractal AM4 – over 240 amp models, around 45 DynaCabs, over 300 effects, USB-C audio, SPDIF, dual expression inputs and an FX loop, all in a pedal-sized box that undercuts a lot of the current competition in price. It is currently only shipping to the US and Canada, which of course makes the rest of us want it even more. On the more theatrical side, Gibson and Epiphone Bats in Flight bring mother-of-pearl and pearloid bats to Les Pauls, Flying Vs and a very purple acoustic, all in Guitar Center exclusive finishes. The Gibsons are hilariously expensive, the Epiphone version is far more realistic and still looks ridiculous in the best possible way. Finally, my Pick of the Week is the Harley Benton King-12 CE-NT, a jumbo 12-string with a solid spruce top, maple back and sides and a Fishman preamp for around 300 notes. Basically an SJ-200-style 12-string for half what you would expect and with better specs than some of the big names.
