Judging from the things we see coming out of China… they don’t strike me as at ALL interested in things like patents or copyrights. Things like the tsunami waves of ‘Chibsons’ that have been coming into the states stand as solid evidence of that. I wish though that if they’re going to copy names & products like Fender, Gibson, etc. without any legal worries at all, they’d concentrate on making better/closer ‘copies’ of the real thing. Now that I’ve typed that out… it dawns on me that this would only make the problem worse. 🤦‍♂️🤣

For mods: Take the pickups out, take off the cover and tape, and carefully squirt superglue into the copper coils. This will "pot" them on the cheap. You can also use thinner epoxy/resins, or wax to do this, but superglue is quick/cheap. Set-up the action, check the nut slots, all the usual other stuff. I bet it comes across like a different beast altogether.

Many of the original telecasters were made from pine and were surprisingly light. Recently I tested some new ‘made in the USA’ telecasters and they weighed a tonne (10lbs plus). When I commented on this to an old timer who lived next door to the Fender factory back in the day he said “And many of the Gibsons were really light back then as well.” I couldn’t believe that as every Les Paul I’ve ever touched has been a boat anchor (including my own). Next time he visited he brought his early-days LP with him (must be worth a fortune) and it was 2lbs lighter than my 2010 model.

Mod it, good sir. MOD IT! 🤣 I spent the lockdown(s) learning to work on guitars, and it’s turned into a really enjoyable hobby. I’d like to see what you can do with this & maybe get a few ideas along the way. So yes - mod it. 👍🏼 I can’t help but wonder if maybe the body is chambered. A lot of the less expensive guitars seem to be lighter than usual. But that sounds REALLY light. The truss rod access caught my eye too. Looks like a really long rout… all the way to the first tuner?

@jimcamp2423 7 ай бұрын

If the saddles are slammed for height, a flat shim in the neck pocket for full size cures the higher action & saddle/string break angle that won't ever happen if the fretboard is slammed to the pickguard. Just have to adjust the pickup heights for the shim thickness. Basically a set up that most every guitar needs to be finished off to preference. The sub $ 100 guitars are basically assembled for being "in the cheap seats of the ball park". As long as the pickups aren't microphonic, it's going to eventually play in quite well. Might take a set of strings.

@DrSpeener 7 ай бұрын

I like that you showed the full experience of unboxing and tuning a cheap guitar. It’s a good thing for people to see. Too bad they come with such high action, because If you bought this as your first guitar you wouldn’t be able to learn very easily on this.

@rustyshackleford9557 7 ай бұрын

Agreed, but they come with the Allen wrenches to adjust that and KZfaq has a zillion videos on basic set up. If the nut action is high all you have to do for a temporary fix is tune it a whole step down and capo it at fret #2 and then re- tune. Learning basic guitar set up is just like owning a bike. It is essential to know how to adjust your brakes an air up your tires. Folks too lazy to do that need some therapy.

@jimcamp2423 7 ай бұрын

Depends, if one is learning Cowboy Chords & staying within the first 5-7 frets pf the neck, how bad can the action really be as an issue that dropping the saddles & pickup heights is a learning instrument ? I get it though, if one is learning guitar, they'll assume that the build & set up on a new & out of the box guitar was done for them. Even a beginner is going to have to learn how to tune it for Standard E.

About two and a half years ago I decided that after playing for 20 plus years, I wanted to finally try a T-style guitar. I ended up ordering three different ones from Amazon. One of them was a Lyx Pro identical to the one you have in this video. My experience was similar to yours. The finish on the body was nice, and I really liked the neck, but everything else was "meh"... I ended up sending the Lyx Pro back. I do think that it could have been a good base for a mod platform though. Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours...

@jhberg17 7 ай бұрын

Cheap guitars are usually good except for the tuners. Good machine heads cost $140-200 Canadian. I have an excellent Harley Benton, but it needs locking tuners.. which is worth doing for playability, but you’ll never get it back when you sell. And I’ve sold every guitar I’ve had except my first.

Mod it Landon, see what you can do with just tuners and pickup upgrade. And of course a proper setup. That will be interesting for sure.

Your first impression and description of this guitar is the same as my observations of the Leo Jaymz tele diy kit I got for my birthday. I had to shim the neck the get the action acceptable, and even though it’s “mahogany” it’s incredibly lightweight. Also, the stock strings wouldn’t stay in tune and broke after less than a day. I think they may be exactly the same guitar except the kit has a paddle headstock and you have to apply your own finish.

It's kinda pretty, and I kinda like a light guitar... But dear God it sounded horrible. I felt bad for your poor Princeton having to make those noises. I would be interested in knowing just what it takes to get playable. Clearly tuners and a FULL setup. Probably recut or replace the nut, possibly shim the neck just for "playable" condition. Only then would we have any idea if the PUP's and controls are salvagable. It's like Amazon is selling guitar tech training material. So, while I find the setup and mod videos quite enjoyable to watch, I almost feel it's not worth the effort unless you simply need the content. The time and materials are going to cost way more than the guitar did.

The wood grain of the body is beautiful. Hardware on something that cheap isn't going to be good. New strings that will stretch plus bad tuners will make staying in tune impossible. It should be a decent if cheap project guitar if the wood is solid.
