I just did a return to the same Company in Chino through Overstock they really don't like returning messages. Same can be said with some dealers in City of Industry. They all think by giving people a couple bucks back instead of returning items thinking all Americans are Morons.

I did this through Amazon so I think they were probably more inclined to return my reply, since amazon is super strict about it. But yeah, cheap importers for sure.

Can I please have a link

I doubt it. People like him are permanently ignorant. And he's egged on by the other GUITARDED people who comment on his videos agreeing with his uneducated opinions.

@oof the truth Videos like this one are complete nonsense and lure in the Gear Snobs/Cork Sniffers. They're completely misleading and are usually an indicator of a KZfaqr who is secretly sponsored by some company that is in direct competition to the one the KZfaqr is dumping on. Also, these types of videos are used as cheap clickbait to build channels. Misleading potential beginners with elitist nonsense is abhorrent, in my opinion.

​@Axess-sv8nq you could not possibly be more wrong. Even after 3 years, you're still wrong😂

@@Axess-sv8nq if you are new to guitar this is a terrible way to start. if its really cheap and shit like this one. you have to know how to set up a guitar and modify it to make it usable. if you dont know what youre doing you need something that is playable out of the box. my first guitar is a bc rich warlock. the setup made it incredibly difficult to play. so i played on my sisters gibson les paul studio because it was actually good. i gave up very quickly on my warlock. it was useless. however, recently ive learned how to set up guitars. and now the warlock is absolutely fine. but i havent played it much the past like 15 years because it was useless to me who had no idea how to make it work properly. buy something decent but affordable as a beginner. if you want to modify and test things. buy some cheap crap like this. change all the pickups...or all the hardware and you can probebly make it... better XD

Thank you for those comments makes me feel less like pos single cuz I could only get my kids the cheap set. They are learning so I thought these would be great for them to learn and play with. So thank you

It's a guitar to send back... and spend the money on something that qualifies as an instrument!

My work here is done... glad you didnt buy this thing, it was horrendous.

@TheRabbit _123 where are you planning to buy from?

​@TheRabbit _123 Ok, so here's my opinion on that. As your very first guitar I would NOT suggest getting a no-name eBay or similar guitar (Glarry, Ammoon, Irin, etc.) They tend to have fat necks (not for everyone) and out of the box they need a significant amount of precise adjustment to sound good or even sometimes to be playable at all. Taylor is clearly an experienced guitarist and knows how to make those adjustments correctly, and my point here was that I question whether he even did before passing judgement. Anyway, you probably don't know how to make those adjustments, and what I'd hate to happen is that you try to learn on a cheap instrument that isn't adjusted correctly and decide that guitar is not for you based solely on the frustration of struggling with that. Taylor has another video on a cheap brand of guitars called "Donner" (which are around $150 on Amazon right now) and from everything I've seen and read you'd be much better off grabbing one of those from Amazon. You could also look at the LTD EC-10 or M10, (on sale for $150 on guitar center right now) or the Jackson JS11 dinky. ($150 on sweetwater or guitar center) those would all be way better than a non-name ebay guitar to start with.

Funny I was just thinking this and then I just saw this in the comments.

The guy is obviously making it sound bad on purpose for some reason, i don't know why tho, that's why his channel will never grow 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just wanted to get this thing out of my hands as quick as possible. It sucked so hard.

Thank you! 🤘🙌

😂

Yes it's plywood with strings.

Nah, plywood has more heft to it. You know how they make pellet stove pellets by compressing sawdust? That's what it felt like.

Cork sniffers and Gear Snobs are the biggest joke among experienced guitarists. It's the easiest way to broadcast their lack of TALENT.

@@Axess-sv8nq spot on🙌

I've done my duty...

🙌 Thank you!

Not surprised! I wouldn't want any affiliation with that guitar either lol

I have one not a strat ,I have the 24 fret burning fire style guitar (a glarry without the name on headstock) was good out the box I just tuned and started playing I've never had an issue with it.Id buy one of these before I ever bought an overpriced Fender.I can learn to upgrade the guitar with Fender or whatever parts needed .

absolutely but for a beginner who doesnt know how to setup a guitar this is useless. and thats who they are aiming for. if its not decent out of the box its not usefull to a beginner. personally i would say its way safer to buy one in a store. because the staff always set the guitars up before they hang em up on the wall. or if its not set up you can ask them to do so.

😪😪😪

Good luck to you sir.

@@TaylorDanley thank u 🤞

🤣

That's awesome. In all honesty, I didn't think this guitar was going to be any good. I thought at best it might be good for a few laughs. Hopefully you guys enjoyed the misery that was playing that guitar!

@@TaylorDanley I think we all felt your pain LOL I wonder what it sounds like through the Axe FX, the Stomp, GE200 or Ampero? No, actually I don't..........

😂😂😂 let's not desecrate those great pieces of gear with this garbage.

🙌

There is a link to a video in the description of this one for a much higher quality starter guitar!

Yeah, Katari, one he's probably secretly getting PAID to promote. NEVER trust con artists. EVER. Find un-biased sources of reviews.

Or it’s actually a lot better. Buy both and see for yourself!

I wouldn't do that to my axefx, it might contaminate it with its defectiveness

No, those guys put my order on backorder, then proceeded to refund me when I asked about it. Someone messed up with that one, it was an actual LTD

It was like they bolted a 2x4 on and called it good.

@@TaylorDanley haha - yikes! Cheers - better luck next time :)

All good, I dont need a cheap starter pack... I just hope fly video saves some other poor souls from blowing money on it!

😂 I guess I should have mentioned, may be applicable for uber cvlt BM enthusiasts! Lol

You're looking at this from the wrong angle. Hopefully I've discouraged someone who wants to play from buying a bad instrument that a. Wont stay in tune and b. Has build issues. This is not a starter guitar, it's a cash grab by people targeting people who dont know better.

Bruh. They'd be better off just buying a build kit. At least then they can A. Learn to play on a semi-decent instrument and B. Get an understanding of the inner workings and maintenance of an instrument

No buying that guitar to learn on would crush their "career". That's what he's saying. And it's true.

Theres a video on my channel about a Donner guitar. A little more expensive, and you dont get an "amp", but it is significantly better and something I'd highly recommend!

@@TaylorDanley what do you think about the squier stratocaster for beginners cause I need it to come with an amp

@@sammysweetheart8600 I dont have any experience with them, but I do have a couple other squiers that I think are great! In general, I think squier has really stepped up and started making awesome instruments.

Well said. I agree, budget, wait and save an extra $60 and get a playable instrument, not a novelty.

I'll never know, that thing is long gone!

@@TaylorDanley =( Sad but understandable. Love the channel and content! =)

🙏🙌

Idiots in this comment section don't care about that. They're all trying to see who can out-ego each other. I've been playing budget guitars (as well as expensive ones) for decades. I find more value in the budget ones once they're set-up properly and, maybe, upgraded (which doesn't cost a lot).

@@Axess-sv8nq People like the person who made this video are weird, he obviously made de guitar sound as bad as possible on purpose, for some unknown childish reason.

Yep, there ain't much love coming from this guy. He could have showed folks some basic tips for how to improve this guitar. But many guitarists were the diminutive, nerdy, un athletic guys in high school and a 3000 $ guitar is a bit of compensation for being short, small, unathletic or just unpopular.

@@rustyshackleford9557 why does how people were for 4 adolescent years of their life matter about this video at all ☠️☠️☠️☠️

@@scubasteve7439 often the way we were treated in school or mistreated as a child will affect us for the rest of our lives. Kids who went hungry will often develope eating disorders. Kids who were bullied will sometimes become bullies later in life. And guys who sucked at sports will sometimes try to turn their guitar skills into some " how fast can I play" journey rather than ever actually play a few songs. And sometimes kids who were lacking in confidence will continue that journey even down to buying guitars that they feel others will approve of and be impressed by. Thanks for asking

👀

If you enjoyed it, it was worth it. Thanks for watching 🙌

I 100% agree. Have you seen the new headless models? Look savage, and are under $400

@@TaylorDanley yeah man, what a time to be a young player. When I was a kid there were literally zero ways to find all the info on tones, technique etc without a good mentor/teacher and gear was lol expensive

😂😂

😂

Glad I can save you the headache! 🙌

Sorry for your loss. People think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. You can do much better for not much more money!

The guitar. Not the video. Just making sure everyone's clear on that :D

😂😂😂 thanks for clearing that up

Awesome! 🙌🙌

😂😂😂

😂😂

Haha 😂 I bet it catches on fire from breathing on it to hard. It seriously felt like it was made out of hamster bedding.

😂😂😂

I wouldn't do that to someone!!

@@TaylorDanley hey man my first guitar was a beat up garage sale thing my dad bought in the 60s and never played. I found it in a closet in the house. Was a POS but had I not found it my life would be different

My first guitar was a beater I found in my basement. It nearly caused an electrical fire the one and only moment I plugged it into an amp. Half water logged flooded basement guitar man good memories.

You'd be better off saving up 120 bucks and buying a Glarry kit or one of those DIY kits

no i think you misunderstood. he bought it to see how crap it was. 85$ is not enough to not be crap XD there is a difference between affordable and litterally the cheapest money can buy. you get what you pay for.

or youre just in denial and was really hoping you could get a decent starter guitar for $85.

Well Larry, I'm sure you didn't watch the whole thing, but the point is that there are better options for not much more money. This guitar won't stay in tune, has terrible fretwork, and feels like you might break it if you sneeze on it. All I can do is hope that I can save at least one person from buying one and point them in the right direction. Just out here doing the lords work fam. Bless!

For like 20 bucks more you can get a Glarry kit which from I've seen people are pretty okay with the Glarry guitars.

wouldnt it be counterintuitive to post the link to where to buy this garbage? XD

You know you can skip through the video right?

because it was funny that the people buying stuff from this shitty company didnt even get what they ordered. honestly if the review isnt obvious enough on why you should steer clear of this guitar then just those reviews are pretty damning XD

I have worked as a guitar repair tech most of my life. Welcome to my HELL!!! Guys who can barely play but gripe about everything. Mostly smallish, nerdy types compensating for skill, personality and intelligence they lack.

No Brandi, I bought it so that some beginner who is looking up reviews on YT would stay clear and not waste their money on it. There are much better options for not much money out there.

@@TaylorDanley honestly i dont get why people are defending the guitar. those will litterally make sure people who want to start playing give up. buying the cheapest crap possible just because youre a beginner is not the way to go. a bad craftsman blames his tools and all that but if the tool doesnt do its job you can absolutely blame the tool. XD

same

no the dream killer is these cheap crap guitars because if you want to learn guitar you will give up very quickly when this is all you got. its not about having money. save up some more and buy something usable. cheap guitars like these are often really hard to play cleanly if at all possible and thats the last thing you need as a beginner. if its even more difficult than it should be you will give up on it and assume its just incredibly difficult. "not perfect" is not the same thing as at all usable.

@Peron1-MC so your kids first car will be brand new high-end car worth 100 grand or more or thier first bike is an easy 1000 when they try without training wheels. A cheap guitar is a learners one why let's go to the store buy a 1000 dollar guitar they play for 6 months and quit now it's either stored in basement or garage just sitting or you take it and sell it it's used its got wear will you get 1000 for it bet you have better chance of getting 700 tops so 300 in loss but you pay for cheap 200 guitar kit they say I don't wanna you can still get maybe 100 so loss 100 not 300 plus. Ever see most the greats who play they started on cheap guitars no names so your saying they aren't greats cuz they started with cheapest ones they could find. Keep making kids and parents feel like scum cuz they bought there kid a cheap garbage guitar like me cuz I can't throw 1000s at one or kids that don't see its high end feel like they can play it or they deserve the top of line. I'm glad you think everyone is rich like you and can just blow money and anything they and not worry about money. This is why I can't stand this video cuz you make me out to be shit dad cuz I got my kids 140 guitar kits cuz they wanted one to learn thanks buddy since I'm down kick me more I can't afford afford Disneyland multiple times a years or go to Hawaii for weeks at a time. Wait I also bought them walmart headphones and speakers to listen too so then I should just toss them out like the garage they are. Stop bashing parents that are fighting to make kids happy. Also I heard real guitar players make my kids guitar sound really damn good not amazing but guess they can play better than you
