Those are some sexy budget monster behind you, need to work on my channels backdrop😎

I bought some of the budget Harley Benton Tele's and they needed minimum adjustment, usually just intonation and a couple needed a little bit of filing on the nut as the strings were too high for the first fret. Most budget thinlines will be plywood and all 350, 330 series Gibsons are plywood tops. OK for a beginer as you said, I hate the neck tint, its like a cheap fake suntan, Donald Trump style! You missed loads of frets when you rocker tested them, you should only move down one fret at a time and not groups of three.

Bought the same kit. Going to do a green crackle on it. Mine fit great also. I think I will need a slight shim also. Cannot wait to see the finished product.

It's seriously scary how cheap you can buy a guitar these days. With a bit of know how and some cash for upgraded parts, they're tempting.

Uhhh…what does it sound like?😂

You never play the stupid thing! What do the pi clips sound like! Amateur hour!

The way you checked with the fret rocker was incorrect. You should only advance one fret at a time. In this way each fret has the position of acting as a fulcrum. You moved to the third fret which means you actually don't know if fret number three is level in relation to fret number two and fret number four. Then you moved to fret five, thus repeating the mistake. Plenty of YT videos to show the correct way. Peace.

Interesting review. I bought the Strat version and was surprised at its quality and setup. Set up a new Affinity Strat with sharp fret ends, a wonky switch and jack. The Gearit was properly intonated, straight neck, rounded fret ends no fret sprout, only one slightly high fret, a good jack, no QC issues and the sound is very Straty. Its tuners are the thing to replace but given its cost locking tuners are a good buy. It is a good modding platform. Your tele seems quite similar. In that it includes a strap and tuner, spare strings and a fun little amp, it is truly a good beginner guitar and one for modding as you advance if the setup is good at purchase.

Can I get this lefy and maple neck

Nice review. Been looking at these! You helped make my mind up. Grabbing one. Subbed 🤘🏼

Just looking on their site, the kit really doesnt match the thumbnail pic of what it will look like, the finished build pic is a string through widow headstock bc rich, look at the headstock shape up close, its wildly off, sorry but this is a LAWSUIT waiting to happen.....

I went through all the Leo Jaymz kits with my son and this is the one he wants to build. Should be a fun project and I'm looking forward to seeing how yours comes out!

Definitely seems interesting for the low price, but it looks off. Probably a trademark thing though. My main question is why the razor at the 12th fret? That's a Dean Dime Razorback inlay, it makes absolutely no sense on a BC Rich lookalike kit.

the shapes a little off but it's decent

I just subbed too! Looking forward to this!!!!

Sub’d; can’t wait to see this series!

killer, radius is the fretboard curvature not the neck profile, anyhow that thing looks cool

I got the Explorer type, and it was in fantastic shape when I got it. It was intonated and the action was good. The frets were level. The tuners and pickups are crap, but I'm getting ready to change those and it'll be good to go. It's worth way more than a little over $200. It's got stainless steel frets. The best deal I got was a Firefly Charvel copy! That thing is perfect in every way, and could easily sell for $700-$800.

Great mod platform no doubt

Yeah It's a Steal. I got a Volgoa Red Quilt/flame HSH. for $195. Mahogony Body , Darkened maple neck -stain prob. don't think it is roasted -- .6 months ago and Its a Super Strat w/ the Rounded SS frets and a unque looking. Super Smoth Dark Composit material for fretboard. You Could replace the tuners at some point.but they work fine. -- the PUPS are good to decent - you don't need to replace them The wiring on mine is fine but some people I here might need to soder a spot -- big deal. I'd say It was very good quality for the money and really beautiful to look at . Looks Mater.

If I saw this for $500+ in a shop I think it was a bargain but as usual on Amazon "This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location (Australia). Please choose a different delivery location." Same with Fesley and others from Amazon. Oh nice! Their cherry red looks good too then boom. Excellent vid and to the point. 👍

Be honest, it's a piece of $hiť. Toneless pickups, fret wire that'll wear out in a matter of months, cheap horrible tuners, suspect bridge metal, 7 piece crap-wood body, junk switches and pots, plastic trem block.... Yeah, $169 guitar. Don't waste your money.

Good stuff! :)

Happy to find this channel. I adore electric guitar but the American and Japanese made instruments are forever beyond my means

Well, that’s exactly the one I wish I could build to hard tail brass saddles Lee and instead I went and bought me a telly project but the stats coming. I got a bill one because I’m in the middle of this tally right now redo it good luck I just subscribed to.

Turned out great!
