I'm not trying to stir the pot, but for the money you spend on Amazon guitars you could get a nice 2000$ PRS s2 and review it as a budget USA model. They are rarely looked at, and they recently got USA pickups and upgrades.

as a newbie to guitars in general I didn't want to spend a lot of coin on one that might be just a wall decoration. I looked at the sub $100models and watched a lot of u tube reviews. what i found were they looked cheap and/or had build issues, setup issues and used cheap hardware. i finally settled on the $140 fst 400m series. a bit outside my budget but a nice piece regardless. it needed a bit of setup however. the action was too high, truss rod need adjustment and a few frets were too high. fesley appears to be a new entry and i wouldn't be surprised if they release models costing much more in the future.

I really think that people forget that weve outsourced out manufacturing to the far east for 40 years. If you do anything for 4 decades your gonna improve, and thats not even counting the progression in technology in that time frame. Guitars coming out of the east are no longer the sub standard thing they once were. You have a pretty decent chance of getting something solid for a phenomenal price. Im so thankful for youtube reviewers for what they do, if it werent for these people we would be shelling out 4 times the amount of money for a comperable guitar from the big brands. Save money, buy more gear, and make more music.

I got bought a Fesley 12 string acoustic 2 weeks ago and I love it. I've been a pro and semi pro musician for over 40 years and this is one of the nicest guitars out of the box I've ever purchased. The price was amazing. I got the guitar and a wireless setup as a package for $220. Wireless system seems to be nice as well. I have only used it once.

good video bro. :-) How good it brings the pinch harmonics ? Thanks

As is your norm, a great video - informative, helpful, fun to watch and in-depth look at an affordable electric. LOVE your use of pedals/effects and what you played to demo this.I guess the only thing I would add to this review is the thing that almost always is true when reviewing any guitar - that this particular guitar is great; and that an identical model from the same manufacturer might yield a different review. Just so beginners might understand it - I think that experienced players mostly know that without it being said out loud. But what a fun review and demo! Your joy in playing and how you play is so refreshing and fun to watch!

I bought a Fesley strat style kit last month and I was surprised by the quality of the pre-finished 3 color sunburst body. Tbf I wasn't expecting much for the price so it wasn't hard to exceed my expectations. I bought a loaded pickguard with alnico slugs and aged yellow vintage color because the stock ceramic pickups are typical budget guitar quality. I did detect a coat of wax underneath the pickup covers though so that's a nice touch for anyone who uses the stock pickups. The neck also felt surprisingly good but the fingerboard was an engineered wood so I replaced it. I bend a lot and play hard so I need a hardwood fingerboard. I can't speak to the playability of the material for other play styles. I swapped out the tuners for ones that look like vintage klusons but have a locking mechanism. The included tuners were typical for budget and mid-range priced guitars. The saddles were the cheap die cast kind so I took some pressed steel saddles from my parts box and replaced those too. If I was forced to choose only one part to replace it would be the saddles and it isn't even close. I despise those saddles. Even with all the work I put into it I still paid less overall than I would have if I bought a finished body from one of the big parts sellers and I got a pretty accurate looking pre-CBS partscaster strat. It looks like a Fender Vintage II '62 and plays really well after a setup. Definitely worth considering whether you're a novice kit builder, looking for an inexpensive instrument and don't mind a little diy, or an experienced maker of partscasters looking for a cheap starting point.

Great video! You look like you're having tons of fun :) The guitar actually does look like it would be a lot of fun to mess around with and maybe do some minor modding on. Sadly though, I'm left handed and I don't see any lefty Fesley's anywhere. Hopefully they'll release a lefty version of this LP style sometime soon. Also, subbed!

They sent me one to review on my channel… Is it the best guitar on Amazon? No idea, haven’t played all the Amazon budget guitars 😂… Overall it had good bones, definitely a good beginner guitar or something for first time modders to learn to mod… Perhaps just a modding platform in general. It wasn’t without a few budget flaws, but I really liked what Fesley is trying to do, which is get beginners a better cheaper guitar… I also liked that they’re genuinely looking for feedback… Lastly, I saw you kinda glossed over the manual, but it actually has some pretty useful info in it for beginners, including what the guitar parts are called, and how to wrap a string around a post… Definitely useful for the first timers…

I like the looks of this guitar for an inexpensive guitar! One of those tones you had going on reminded me of the Terry Kath sound that I loved in the day!

Hey Bro! I've seen Fesley's acoustic guitar reviews on this channel @The Bald Shredder, I hope this helps!🤘

That very well may be the best $159 electric guitar on Amazon. I dig the matte finish. (I prefer pronouncing it Fesley, as in Elvis Fesley, thank you very much 👉)

I had an electric from walmart growing up, got a couple name brand ones eventually but sold then got an Epiphone Les Paul LP for $150 CAD years ago (floor model no box from L&M they should’ve gave discount) and maybe got lucky it’s a great build, sounds beautiful when played well & stays in tune just wish the frets were bigger

It is a 4 screw bolt-on neck & not a glued set neck joint. That's probably a win though, one can DIY shim without deconstruction for resetting the neck by a professional luthier. Can always swap out the black hardware for nickel or chrome, even a gold plating. And they did matte finish it to avoid polishing the polyurethane to a gloss finish. They did a fine job for $ 159.99- 179.99. Sounds fine, appears to be very playable out of the box from review videos. I just have too many guitars already, but let's say I need another should I sell off or one needs labor & pars repairs that make more sense to buy a new one ? This one is a solid option for consideration.

15:02 That rock tone is great!

Looks really nice and sounds nice too

I like that guitar. I have seem some issues with that guitar on other channels. You must have got a good one. If it arrives on my door step playing and looking like the one you got. Then I want one.

What they said. Ryan did the review maybe 2 weeks ago I think. If you’re really into it the video will be close to the top go check it out.

There's a pickup brand(Malagoli) that have big strong magnets on some of their pickups, like big neodimium bars, and uses these plastic EMG-like covers just to reduce the magnetic field, so they don't pull your strings... I believe active pickups also benefits from low magnetic fields to avoid microphonic or hum, letting the punch for the pre-amp...

I bought mine back in November when they came out and it squealed like a pig. Fesley must of remedied it. I think it was a grounding issue. I put artec invader style pickups in mine🤘🏻

I remember you throwing shade on Eart owners for making videos, ( that Eart asked them to submit), explaining how much they like their guitars. Choice is a wonderful thing.

Got the pink one about six months ago and was not expecting anything good. Was very surprised at the quality. Have had a few far more expensive guitars have issues but none on the Fesley.

This shows that guitars can be made to be good players at a low price. I would buy one of these.

You mentioned the nut was the right elevation, but you didn't mention how the bridge was perfect intonation, which it was, and you also didn't comment on how the guitar stayed in tune right out of the box. Also the sweep of the tone control was wide and linear. This sounds like a damn good deal. It's hard to believe you didn't do some set-up on it before the show.

Looks like theyve moved the volume placement in the middle of my strumming pattern. Like a strat, It will make you change the way you play and you will have to hold your hand all crippled positioin as to not bust a knuckle or accidently turning te volume down

Ahh that's the classic metalzone tone I remember from when I was 15 back in 05.

Man that thing sounds great. I'm more of an S style player I wonder if they sound as great?

With quality guitars like this being made at such affordable prices it makes you really wonder how any Gibson or fender has any right to leave the factory any less than absolutely perfect. Guitars like this really raise the bar for other companies

I don't hate it for a gigging beater. I never get along with Les Paul style guitars for comfort reasons. This may be a good one that doesn't kill my back.

That Fesley is a beast! The folks at Fesley should have called that Fesley the Fesley Beast at Fesley. Rock on Fesley.

Looks better than most cheap Amazon guitars. You got some pretty decent tones out of it. A beginner would have some fun for sure.

As an avid concert goer and music fan, I have to say, I don't see how the old brands stay profitable. The quality and performance of these entry level guitars is easily on part with the name brands costing 10X as much. 🤓

I've been looking for a good Les Paul knockoff for a long time. When I say good, I mean cheap, and not total plywood crap. I think this one fits and I'm buying one next week!

Seems like a sweet entry guitar and an excellent mod platform. Pups sound a bit raspy thru your gain pedal (whatever it is), tho sounded better using higher gain. Win win for the $$

I went with a westcreek Racer off Amazon . It was 200 bucks and it’s a great guitar . I have EVH ,plus some classic Kramers . I wanted a SG style guitar at a good price . I guess I didn’t see this brand . Looks like a really nice budget guitar . Wonder if they have a Jr style as Westcreeks Jr styles sold out . Going to head over to,Amazon .

CNC gave an incredible edge to cheap guitars makers. In electric luthery adjustment and accuracy is what makes or brakes a product, give a cheap yet precisely build guitar some good pickups and you get in the ball park of great ones, way more than tone woods benefits that are mainly psychoaccoustic. In fact the main quality we need in woods is their stability so the guitar doesn't move over the years and it can be easily achieved with low grade woods just by cutting and gluing them back together.
