Музыка
Full demo of the Bill Nelson Astroluxe Cadet, a semi-acoustic guitar like no other. This gorgeous instrument is without a doubt one of our best ever custom shop projects, whether you're a big Bill Nelson / Be Bop Deluxe fan or not.
The ever amazing RJ Ronquillo puts it to the test, and we can safely say the guitar won't disappoint.

Man, that thing sounds fantastic. R.J. , you do Bill Nelson proud.
That guitar is the perfect mix of strange and cool…I want one
Maid in heaven revisited, glorious!
An amazing guitar doesn't make a guitar player amazing. An amazing guitar just makes an amazing guitar player even more amazing! 😍
Bill Nelson has been one of my guitar heroes since I was a young teen when I first heard "No Trains to Heaven " by Be Bop Deluxe in the late 70's. RJ's guitar playing is phenomenal always is in fact. Nice guitar too by the way ; )

My older brother liked Be Bop Deluxe they seemed to be on Supersonic every other week I preferred Red Noise, more angular and post punkish and more to my taste
You are a bad-ass RJ Ronquillo. I love listening to you play. More power to you.
I'll end buying an Eastwood because of you Ronquillo. You're a beast. Thank you!

Me too but which one is going to fit me best … 🐰 🕳️
Superb guitar. No more to say about Ronquillo, always in my playlist :)
I know this sounds strange but, I always come here when I feel the need to get "right" with the madness around me - just a little 8 minute breather from the world - awesome coolness - Thanx R.J.

He never disappoints.....very tasteful in any style he plays.
Limitless technique Any style. Any tone. Awesome player. Thanks
Way cool! Thanks for the demo!
Beautiful guitar along with great playing.. Kudo Eastwood..
Beautiful instrument, beautiful playing. o/
Interesting guitar design, with a headstock like D'Angelico used, and RJ making it sound like a stratovarius!
Wow!!! That's it. Great job once again RJ. Peace
Excellent. Thank you R.J.
Love this guitar!
I like how the pickup switch is proudly emblazoned with the words "TONE SWITCH" so everybody knows what it is.
R.J.’s solos always have a vocal quality to them, like Ella was singing to these chords.
Lovely playing RJ. Yes, a beautiful and original look to that axe there. I purchased a nice hollow electric from Eastwood’s Michael R some years ago. It speaks to me in its own way. ❤😊
RJ Ronquillo is a wonderful front man for your guitars
Lovely guitar playing courtesy of Bills 'touch'
Great playing and gotta love the Evil Knievel shirt!!
İ had to come back and revisit.. love it All.. playing of course and guitar is super cool
Damn it man... you make playing smooth tasty solos look so easy!!!
Smooth playing
That guitar is beautiful
@01:03 onwards - chills....and more chills...
RJ is becoming my favorite guitarist. Just awesome phrasing and melody.

Agree, that's why I wouldn't buy a guitar from him.. He could play with a broomstick and it would work.
Love the 'Falcon' style tuners!
I really appreciate estwood and airline they are making left of center stuff and the world needs that. Some of the airline stuff is really out there but i am looking heavily at the mercury right now
I'd like to hear it clean, straight into the amp, then with effects. A badass like RJ can make a broomstick with a kite string on it sound good. What does the axe sound like?
Nice!
WOW! Just fu**ing WOW!!
this guitar is awesome!

#HL McConnell: Exactly correct. It's RJ's stellar playing. He could make a cardboard shoebox sound great.
I have been an enormous Be Bop Deluxe/Bill Nelson fan since I found his first demo album (a solo effort mainly), 'Northern Dream' or something like that (I still have it obviously but too lazy to go look at the title, LOL), in the early '70s when I wall in college at KU. Then Be Bop Deluxe came out and he really came into his own (I believe mostly he was playing an ES-335 in those days...). LOVE the man and his skill set and pure musicality. I'm really thinking about a deluxe version of this thing just for 'old times sake', but seeing this video convinced me this might actually be a 'player'. Hmmm....let me think about it......

It was an ES 345 the stereo model, his first top quality guitar, a present from his father. His first wife Shirley did a Pete Townshend on it before walking out on him, it was repaired but was never the same again, it once caused him to have an electric shock while using it.

@@vmax4steve524 WOW. That's a gut shot story about the Who act on a great guitar. I always actually hated seeing _______ smash guitars. And amps. I recommend taking it to Jon Ferber (Goez Instrument Repair/JFGuitars) in St Louis, who can literally repair any guitar to as close to the original condition as anyone can and would make it play right again; pass my recommendation along to Mr. Bill Nelson if you can. And THANK YOU for that info!
RJ........Amazing.......lets start a band........teach me.....!
You copped Bills' style nicely.A beautiful guitar befitting a great yet underappreciated guitarist.
Coolness.. İ had an astrojet dlx v2 Shoulda never sold it.. thought it didn't fit me.. but think this one could..! You ever sell those used or are they just demos you give back? God bless.. always great playing
No es posible apreciar toda la magnitud sonora de la guitarra si solo la prueban con distorsión .
What’s not to like about that special moment
Can anyone tell me what tune this is he is soloing over? It's beautiful! RJ you are a very soulful player!! Lots of players have knowledge, chops, licks, - you have that! But, brother you got soul by the truckloads!!
I dig the guitar and really like that first jam track. Anyone recognize it?

You could nail baling wire to a barn wall and RJ would make it sound beautiful. However I don't think he would sell me a bill of goods on a poor product.

I like the way he just plays it...not spend time opening the box and talking about the smoothness of the fret inlays or finish and bindings...just play it...thats all we need to know. in fact...no talk at all..thats good,

Uh... there's people out there wailing on guitars that'd give other people tetanus. If you actually plan on buying and playing the guitars, things like build quality and ergonomics are actually pretty damn important.

Well Clapton never said he was a great player (it was others who said it) Clapton only ever said that he added some new tone to the palette. Different times...different players. Ronquillo is a great all round player, thats for sure.
20 frets???!!! WTF?
that doesn't sound like Bill Nelson at all.
