Hey everybody, Aaron Lee Tasjan here,
checking out the California Classic acoustic series.
It's a new line of instruments with unique body shapes and features.
So let's check them out.
[MUSIC]
Okay, the first guitar we're going to be taking a look at today is
the Malibu Classic in cosmic turquoise, the smallest body shape
of the three guitars we're going to be looking at today.
For me these kind of guitars are really great for finger style playing.
They're really well-balanced across the fret board
in terms of being able to really let each string speak.
And the smaller body shape's kind of a nice
punchy tone that cuts across really great
when you're playing finger style.
[MUSIC]
So as you can hear, it kind of has that cool kind of Robert Johnsony,
just great finger picking sound.
Let's talk about the pickup systems in these guitars.
The Fender and Fishman co-designed preamp systems include your volume and
tone control, bass and treble knobs on top here.
And with a handy-dandy little built-in tuner, which is great.
And all of the pick ups for each guitar in the series
were designed with that unique guitars body, shape and mind.
So when you plug it in,
it kind of sounds just
natural as can be which
is a beautiful thing.
[MUSIC]
Okay, the next guitar we're going to take a look at is
the Newporter Classic in hot rod red.
It's a medium-sized body shape.
It's a very well balanced articulate guitar.
One of the interesting features of this particular body shape is the narrower
hips, which kind of creates a more of a scooped sound,
very complimentary to the human voice.
One of the things that's great about the classic line of guitars and
this particular model features the all solid design.
Solid sitka spruce top and beautiful mahogany back insides.
One of the distinct features of the classic line is the two-tone aesthetic
on the guitar, the painted top and wood-finished back and sides.
It's something that's not only aesthetically pleasing but
also pleasing tonally as well.
When that solid wood resonates like that it's a much more pleasing sound
to the ear than your plywood, less expensive instruments would sound like.
So you really get a feel for the rich quality of sound that
an all solid design instrument can offer you.
It's going to sound really good doing finger styles.
It's going to sound really good strumming.
[MUSIC]
Yeah, that cut away is really nice.
You can get up there on the higher frets.
One of the other unique features about this particular instrument
is the six-in-line matching painted headstock.
And one that you would see more traditionally on
Fender's electric guitars.
But they've done it on these acoustic guitars,
which is a really a nice touch and
another feature that really kind of separates these guitars from the pack.
Also, the six inline is a really nice thing when you're restringing your guitar.
You don't have to reach around all awkward to the bottom to
get those top three strings.
So it's not only a matter of beauty, it's also a matter of convenience.
Okay, finally, we are looking at the Redondo Classic in cosmic turquoise.
It is the largest of the three body shapes that we are exploring today.
An ideal sound for your rock and roll bands, for your bluegrass bands.
Anything where you're going to need a guitar with a bigger voice
to kind of cut through the mix of it all.
So one of my favorite features on
this entire line of guitars is the mahogany C-shaped neck.
Different neck than what you would traditionally find on an acoustic guitar.
It's a little smaller.
It's going to feel a little different.
It's going to feel a little more like an electric guitar neck.
It's a really great feeling neck, very easy to play and very fun to play.
Sometimes we don't think about the way that an instrument feels can influence
what we play on it or how we play on it.
And when you get a nice feeling neck like this,
you feel like your possibilities are endless.
So one of the other nice features about this whole line of guitars is
the Pau Ferro fingerboard.
A best of both worlds, if you will.
A great combination of the softer feel of rosewood and
the more solid feel of an ebony or maple neck, which is a great feature.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 – A Classic Focal Length is New Again - Duration: 2:37.
Back in the film days, my first telephoto lens for my Olympus OM-10 was a 135mm – the
premiere focal length for portraiture at the time.
Nowadays, the focal length is uncommon for prime lenses – a victim of the new focal
lengths du jour at 85mm and 105mm.
So it's both surprising, but not totally unexpected for Sigma to come up with a 135mm
f/1.8 version for their heralded Art series of lenses.
Increased sensor resolution and performance has necessitated new lens designs.
Beyond price point, an arguable part of Sigma's (and the other 3rd party manufacturers')
success has been their ability to release more modern lens designs at a faster clip
than the Nikons and Canons of the world.
And this particular lens is faster and cheaper than the name brand competition.
Like other lenses in the Art range, the lens is a hefty piece of glass weighing in at 2.49
lbs without any image stabilization.
With the hood attached, it's big.
After AF Fine Tuning the lens with my Nikon D850 and re-familiarizing myself with the
focal length, I started to have some real fun with the lens.
Focus speed is fast.
Color rendition and contrast is fantastic.
The lens exhibits expected vignetting wide open, but it's unnoticeable at f/2.5 and
smaller.
I didn't run into any flare or ghosting even when shooting into the sunset.
Chromatic aberration was non-existent even shooting into backlit situations.
On bright days, the hood definitely helped reduce indirect light from bouncing around
the glass.
I'm not the type of person to obsess over the bokeh.
To me, the best quality of out-of-focusness is non-descript and has no identifiable characteristics.
The sharpness of the lens combined with the depth-of-field of this particular focal length
can yield some really nice foreground to background separation.
This shot was a pretty good indication of sharpness.
Look at the hair on his arm.
That's pretty astonishing detail at 1:1.
AF Fine Tuning the lens didn't solve all the sharpness issues.
I was still seeing motion blur with shutter speeds up to 1/250s, which is both a reflection
of my unsteady hands as well as lack of image stabilization with a high resolution sensor.
The old rule of "1/focal length" for a minimum shutter speed might not cut it anymore.
There's not much to criticize about this lens.
It's a fantastic intersection of sharpness, weight and price.
Image stabilization would have been a nice bonus, but that would have increased weight
and price.
Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 is that I would seriously
consider adding this lens to my arsenal.
But on the other hand, I might need to try out that new Sigma 105mm f/1.4 first.

I`m in love with her
She`s standing here
And dancing for me
Just to keep you near, I`ll steal you girl
And hide in my heart deeply
I`m in love with her
She`s standing here
And dancing for me
Just to keep you near, I`ll steal you girl
And hide in my heart deeply
My pretty girl is looking straight into my eyes
And I can`t hide that I enjoy it more than ever
Oh how I love her only my heart knows
For just one kiss I`d give this girl my soul forever
Her goddess body is shelter from my dreams
I am alive when I can touch her hand and hold it
I am alive when I can touch her hand and hold it
For just one kiss I`d give this girl my soul forever
Hey girl be miiiiiine, be only miiiine
I`m in love with her
She`s standing here
And dancing for me
Just to keep you near, I`ll steal you girl
And hide in my heart deeply
I`m in love with her
She`s standing here
And dancing for me
Just to keep you near, I`ll steal you girl
And hide in my heart deeply
