I bought one based on this video alone. Straight out of the box it needed to be tuned of course, but the action and intonation are near perfect. The fret ends are fine on mine. Crazy how they’re making these things so cheap and playable. I’ll use it to record some with, but this would be ideal for a kid needing a cheap guitar to start out on. The tiny amp included is pretty loud too. Enough for a beginner.

@kdawson020279 3 ай бұрын

For you people about my age, Joe Trohman of Fall Out Boy plays lead on a Tele primarily. I have a custom Carvin based on the thing that makes Teles rock, which is sustain, and pickups mounted at the extremes of the body (well, on the place where the strings pass over it anyway) to allow a lot of tonal versatility.

So you got the surprise buy 1, get 1 deal?! Sweet! Who wouldn’t love that?! Looks like a great buy for $119. That would make for a great mod project! I only wish the pickups weren’t microphonic. That’s the one let down. However, it wouldn’t cost someone too much to get a properly wound, potted pickup that would fix that issue. I also hate when they stain wood. That’s gonna wear off on the fingers for a while. Not sure why they bother when the stain usually ends up coming off. Great find! Catch you later! 😱😱😱😱😱

I remember one el cheapo guitar that had vicious fret bite, but after a couple of weeks in a more humid environment the neck swole back to size and it felt pretty good. Question- instead of jumping straight to the fret file, would you hammer down the fret? Love a good microphonic pickup, strings AND PERCUSSION! and Shred!

I'd have to sand the neck down & get that black off the neck, but I'd leave the neck face and seal the neck satin smooth and change out the pups & electronics with some Seymour Duncan P90 Phat Cats Set Humbucker Size after routing the bridge body to a Humbucker Size. I'd satin or gloss over the Front Headstock face. I know the neck pup would be ok to go with a Single Coil Sized Pickup & Phat Cat P90 Bridge Humbucker will cancel hum of a Single Coil Neck Pickup because it's coils are Reverse Wound. I already have plenty of pickup choices. I could go with a Single Coil or even a such sized SD Rails or a SD 59' Humbucker in the Neck Position or Other. I only have one Semi-Hollow that is Black finished satin back of Neck Oscar Schmidt brand & it plays and sounds as well as my Gibson. Thanks for another Fine Video SEAN. How can I reach you for guitar works or to have a neck refretted or made for me ??? Those were some seriously noisy pups for sure !!! Play On FretBro's . . . 👍🆒🎸🤘🎼☺️🇺🇸🙏 DDH 2-14-2024.

That is black chrome, and it is electrically conductive plating. Powder coat doesn't, in my experience, have mirror gloss.

They didn't sound too bad. it wasn't all that long ago that if you paid $119 for a new guitar it would be unplayable out of the box and never get all that much better no matter how much work is put into it. Now if only the big brand American companies would get on the ball and make sure their guitars are on par with some of these affordable ones.
