I recently bought 2 guitars from China on Aliexpress, a Strat and a Tele. After changing a few things and fine tuning them, they are now my favorite guitars and they are as good as my other $2000 guitars… I'm pretty sure I was lucky to find a good seller/luthier who made good guitars.

You might feel lucky. But I’ve gotten some incredible stuff from builders. It’s more uncommon to get a bad one now-a-days. Very happy for you. Thanks for watching!

250$ is a steal. I don't know how playable it is since I can't understand it from a video but from a superficial standpoint it looks really really good. It really gives the vibe of a John Mayer signature even tho there's no gold hardware but hey you can spend 250/300$ and swap things and make it a really solid and plyable instrument.

It’s pretty darn good but the frets aren’t level. The action is too high, so I might need to do that myself. Which I haven’t done. Shouldn’t be too hard though. Got a bit of a refund on AliExpress too 😎 second part coming soon!

Have you made any progress on upgrades for this? I’m curious to see a follow-up video. Seems like it could be a nice piece with some fret leveling, new strings, and new pickups. Also, what did you search on Ali to find it?

So the pick ups aren’t that great that’s the first thing we’re gonna switch out, then I’m noticing the bridge isn’t the best so we’ll get a new bridge system in there and I’m noticing that the tuners aren’t locking, for that matter I have some strings laying around that are pretty nice,And what the heck might as well switch out the body and the neck while we’re digging around the shop… And there you go

@@TheMixWithABD well I see the point of wanting to make a guitar look like a relic just not my style I want mine to be mint condition but people are different one time I sold a guy a flawless guitar and went and seen it about a month later and it didn't look the same as when I had it I was like well I guess this guy really isn't concerned with nice paint and flawless looks like I am he used a piece of wood to mount the trem bar up looked like one that he chiseled out of a tree with thick bark on it put it behind the trem block while changing the strings I was thinking well this guy sure does things a lot different than I do but I just let him carry on he bought the guitar from me I figured.
