What about the 100 boxes of cereal? 😸 I like the matte finish on that guitar. How are your dogs? The puppy must be getting pretty big!

Nice guitar! I've been battling Cancer now for 3 years, I so disappointed about having to sell my guitars to help paying medical bills. Never in my life I thought about having to sell my Guitar's and some of my Mesa boogies that I once had , my Mesa Boogie duel Rectifier, MK IV and my John Petrucci BFR, I also had to sell my Gibson SG 1964 and my Gibson Les Paul 1974 tobacco sunburst. To all of people, I pray 🙏 for all of you not to get Cancer. I gave a couple of guitars to two young kids, I felt I had to this because they loved and wanted to learn to Play guitar, I play in a group called the band Orange. The kids and there parents wanted me to teach the how to play but lately I'm been feeling good because of the Chemotherapy, this is my second time having Cancer, I've lost 94lbs since the cancer started, right now I can't perform with my band Orange, especially after starting Chemotherapy again. I love watching all your videos and checking out all the affordable guitars, mabe one day after I able to get back on my feet and my medical bills are under control, I might be able to purchase another guitar! Thanks!🙏

Your videos are always kind, yet with a very light touch of sarcasm, and a bit of self-deprecation. Just my kind of humor without being ugly to people. Great job! Please keep the content coming and thank you for putting them on KZread.

Please stay true to yourself. Thanks for staying true.

That fesley sound pretty damn good and no fret buzz out of the box that’s always a plus for sure

Setup is the key to bringing a guitar into great playing instrument. QC is very important to bringing out the sound and character of your sound.

I think you're going to have to expand the size of your studio pretty soon it's looking a little tight

Hey Landon, well done on holding firm. Lose money keep principals always pays off in the end.

There is another guitar company that makes cheap guitar called Fazley that sells in the UK. makes me think they must in fact be made in the same factory.

Youre the most underrated youtuber. I really hope your channel takes off. You add something so unique and subtle to this scene and i love it. In addition, I love how you managed to transcend either a conscious or subconscious desire to hate the product because of how they conducted business with you.

hey thanks!

They asked me to make a video for one too but I haven’t responded 😅 Im conflicted because I am curious and I’d love to give the guitar to a student or something. But I also don’t think the internet needs another Fesley video.

They didn't want to pay me my rate, so I bought the guitar myself and made a video for free! In your face, Fesley! 😂Also, made in PRC, so it's almost a PRS. Just a letter away.

Thanks for takin' one for the team!

Wow Landon. Good job. Excellent review! Thank you so much! 😊

Should have taken their money promised 10 million views then blamed the algorithm Ryan wouldn’t have fallen for that trap.

You share a birthday with my late brother Dave. The Bald Shredder has been doing videos on Fesley guitars for a couple years. I have a good impression of them.

Keeping it honest is the way to go. Thanks for the review! I bought a Fesley 800 series and I was impressed at the quality of this instrument. While I won’t gig with it it’s great for practicing and writing music, actions fine pickups sound good and its stays in tune , in the future I might change the bridge though but for under 200.00 it’s awesome! All the best to your channel . Subscribed 😂

I bought one for a video when they first released their s style line. I didn’t see any videos for the brand, so I figured it would be good for my small channel. They reached out this year, ignored my reply, then said they didn’t have space for me. Then replied a few weeks later saying maybe soon. Yeah. Right. I modded the hell out of mine and really do enjoy it, but the reps are weird.

Holy crap. They reached back out and it’s on. Not that…anyone is reading this. But that’s cool of them.

Just from the super janky interaction you had with them is enough to make me not want to ever buy anything from them. I know the marketing department has nothing to do with the rest of the company but its a bad look for them. Not thrilled aboubt the overuse of their logo on everything. I heard these are made at Fender factories. But I would still just spend my money elsewhere. There are just so many options nowadays.

My pink LP Fesley has great tuners and a great neck and fret work. The bridge pickup is terrible (for me), very low volume and muddy, and it has tiny no-name pots. It also has plenty of room for full size pots, which i installed with a new bridge pickup and this baby looks, sounds and feels great. Put a "U" under the F on the headstock and you're good to go

You are one honest dude!

This comment is so good, I just did the same for you!

I wonder if there is a 3 pickup, burst version for Ace Fresley? 🎶🎸👍

Conflicted. Should I like? I’ve already watched. Fishy stuff with those negotiations.

It feels like these guitars don't stand a chance against Harley Benton or Fazley guitars even in a lower price range.

it reminds me of a ltd ec 1000. not a bad guitar for the price, or just in general! great video

Ya didn't quite get'er in tune, but it did sound crunchy though.

Thanks for leading a new cool, Landon. I reviewed this guitar a couple weeks ago. *After a setup* it was nice, but mine had a lot of sharp frets and a handful of high frets that needed taking care of. Too much for a beginner to tackle, of course, but everything's decent on it and it makes for a sweet looking heavy metal guitar. Good luck on beating Ryan's views 🤣🤘

Okay… this guitar looks nice. My eyes are on Donners LP copy. It sort of reminds me of a Gretch guitar but without the pickguard but they look sort of similar, but I like the glossier finish of the top on Donners. But Fesley pickups look nice.

It be that way sometimes, it seems like a nice guitar, sounds decent enough, I reckon the hums didn't split. I'd probably change the pups to something more in line with a traditional LP sound. Thanks for the review and video entertainment (as always).

hey Landon, love the channel! just wanted to say that here in the philippines, there are guitars that have stainless steel frets and alnico v pick ups that are CHEAP from this company called rj guitars. that's all, love the videos

Second picture on the Amazon site says “High precision Turning” 😂

#LeadANewCool … as they say. I’m surprised that slogan was still available.

I bought one and there is a lot of fret buzz, the action is super high on the high frets, I think I will have to shim the neck pocket. I feel like it's a guess if you have a good one or a bad one.

For that price, this is not bad. Would like to check it out tbh

To support you and spite them, I watched and liked your video while ordering myself a Harley Benton instead 😜.

Was going to say they've made it look like an ESP EC-1000. Shame the weird deal with Amazon threw you a curve.

I’ve seen a number of KZreadrs call it out when they’re talking positively about a product that isn’t a sponsor. “Not a sponsor.” That’s wild to me because it’s the best possible endorsement a company could get. Saying good things without being paid to do so.

The Eart Strat when it goes on sale is usually around $175 or so and is by far the best budget guitar given the specs and quality.

I came in at 420 views and I’m okay with that.

I just wish it didnt say fesley on the fretboard...wow its already on the headstock and the pickups..alittle much..

If you know how to do a setup, maybe level a fret or 2, those cheap guitars can be pretty good. But i wouldn't buy it for a beginner, unless they have some basic setup skills, or i was willing to do it for them

I like what I see and I would like to take that Fesley home, I agree they should have done the right thing and paid for your review... Nothing is free except maybe the lucky guy or girl that can win this Fesley guitar

I watched you but yelled obscenities at the screen every time their name was mentioned. Does that help?

If you hit the Amazon button link from your site there is a big warning that this item is often returned. It's sad to read the comments. I read the reviews I only seen one or two really bad reviews the rest were pretty positive. So I'm not sure what they consider often return.

They sound like club owners , can you guarantee that people are going to show up to your show? Idk it’s kinda like a algorithm 😂

Even though you paid for one they and everyone else can see that you’re the bigger man by showing them that you are not a greedy man against one company and that this could be the very video that sells this guitar 🤔 so yeah good on ya bro we all appreciate that you have taken the time to fill us in on this guitar RockOnBrother 🤘🏽🎸

The experience with the company sucks royally, but the axe seems rad :)

They should pay you in retrospect because you’re a stand-up guy, and they should be embarrassed. You checked it out and made a video at your own expense after getting stomped on . . . and then you’re giving it away too?! I hope they send payment to you IMMEDIATELY. Your rate is your rate, and you already know what Ryan was paid, so they shouldn’t be haggling with you if they want to work with you. That’s what your time is worth to you. I am glad you made this video because people should know who they are supporting with their wallet. If they tried to get your rate down, they’ve probably tried that move with other KZreadrs. This company is doing well and selling boatloads of guitars. They can afford to pay your rate. Wanna do a “real” video exposè about Fesley?! They claim to make their guitars in the Fender factory, yet it says they’re from PRC. Something sounds odd about that. They probably mean Squier, at best. I’m not clear - does Fender not have their own exclusive factory for Squire in China like Epiphone? Even if the Squires are made in someone else’s factory, why would Fender be okay with a company riding on their coattails by making a selling point that they’re made in the Fender factory? Nobody has dug deeper to clarify that claim and what it really means. By the way, the LP model has been known to have some major issues. Go watch @ScarMyGuitar’s videos about the Fesley LP - Sean buys everything he reviews, and in a few cases where he gets paid or anything free, he makes it VERY clear. The Strat shaped models are much more consistent, but the LP shapes have had bad issues. I think Fesley made some improvements/changes to the LP model after Sean and a few other KZreadrs all had the same or similar issues and were abundantly honest months back. In fact, Sean was going to try to fix up the pink one he got (he reviewed a pink and black one) to give to me as a donation. In fact, Sean couldn’t even bear to give me such a bad guitar and said they was no repairing it properly, so he and his wife ended up giving me a FoJill instead weeks later. Even after the new LP models had changes made, I’ve still heard more customers and KZreadrs complaining about issues with the LP model than the Strat models! I’ve never heard others say anything bad about the strats other than little details like setting up the guitar at the most (which is needed on even expensive guitars out of the box). Anyway, we always have known you’re a decent guy. It’s too bad this company doesn’t seem so decent about paying everyone fairly. Also, do they realize your price is likely in CAD and not USD?! Is it possible that’s why they’re trying to haggle your rate, thinking it’s in USD? (I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt because I’m also a nice person.)

I doubt they are made in Mexico. I'm guessing a squire factory in China. It's probably a factory that makes a ton of different guitars and squire just happens to be one of them.

Are Fresley, not Ace Frehley. . . for a second there I thought Ace was hawking guitars on Amazon! 😀 And yeah, it sure does look like an ESP right down to the fake active pickups.

I guess you showed them. 😂😂😂

Principles over finances... waging war with our financial principles. Sorry Fesley didn't agree with your terms, but they seem to put out a decent guitar. Thanks Landon. Might want to think about a bird in the hand beats two in the bush, or some similar metaphor like that. Don't listen to me though, I don't know what I am talking about 😂

Fesley guitars absolutely suck! I bought one of their Starts, and it absolutely was horrible out of the box. The frets were sharp enough to cut the hand the tuners were awful and the unfinished neck was barely sanded smooth. I packed it up and put in a return that day, and they came and got ut the next day. The ones they send to KZreadrs are specifically setup and they make sure it's "perfect". My advice: DO NOT fool with these pieces of firewood. A lot of these KZreadrs aren't above lying as well, so they don't chance them not getting guitars sent to them.

Hello

What an insult, your one of the top reviewer's on you tube,if Fesley doesn't cut you a check, I'm not buying one of their guitars, that's just plain out injustice and a bad business policy, the guitar community has the least amount discrimination of any group out there,we support each other and hope companies will do the same, a guitar will sell itself, the review only helps by getting it out there, giving it kudos if it's good, it's a small price to pay to get a top notch audience, the first thing you think of when you hear the name Fesley is Elvis Presley,this time the audience has left the building Fesley. 🤣👍🎸💸🔚

Amazon has weird stuff.. Temu and Wish say.. Hold my beer. Ads for full face ball gags? Uhmm What?

Most of these guys doing reviews on Yoootooob suffer from Dunning Kruger syndrom. They simply don't have the knowledge or playing skills to do a real review. I keep hearing them proclaim these are made at the Fender factory. Blah..blah... Anyone who is actually in the import guitar biz knows that neither Fender or Gibson OWNS any factory in China. Foreign companies can not own land in China Gibson and their tricky lawyers print stuff like, we opened a new factory in Quingdoa" Open doesn't mean "OWN". I can open a restaurant but have no ownership of the land or property. The Fender factory in Indonesia is in NO way the property of Fender. It is solely owned by Cort Musical Instruments. They are Korean. Sure we call em " our factory" but they are not. The ESP factory in Vietnam is in NO way owned by ESP. Inven Vina, a Vietnamese company owns it. ESP contracts guitars to be made by Inyen Vina Etc...etc... Ibanez does not own ANY factory!!! ( They have a tiny shop in Japan that builds custom stuff and one in Hollywood that does similar builds for endorsers. ) So many folks on Yoootooob are absolutely un qualified to do a guitar review. Watch some review by a guy who actually makes his entire living playing guitar. . Everyone says they play....sure but ask em to simply strum Happy Birthday in B flat and watch em. They can't do it off the cuff!!!! Tell em it is a I, V, I , IV progression and they likely still cant just play it!!! Why would you take their advice?

👍🏻👍🏻

So ... not only are you out of pocket for not getting paid to do a video, and further out of pocket from buying the guitar rather than getting the supplier to send you a free one, now youre also potentially going to have a winner in Western Samoa and be even further out of pocket on the shipping? I'll watch the video twice just to help out 😂
