Was as apparent to me as 2+2 but then again, guess what I do for work lol. If you're one of those people who likes knocking it out of the way when not using it and then grabbing it again though, you're gonna have to expect to do some digging around with a crochet hook or something every 5 minutes of wailing onner 😅 Not that it's difficult but then you'll eventually fuck up all the threads inside and require more and more tape, and before you know it, the end of your tremolo arm will look like a drum beater made of duct tape!

Good thing it's Pepto Bismol pink. You will need it after you eat the silica gel.

lol that’s pretty good. I kinda want to make it strawberry quik themed.

As silly and impractical microphonic pickups may be, one of my favorite episodes of '60 Cycle Hum' is the one where you sang into the microphonic pickups at the end. It just ended up being a really solid well played bit. I still listen to the end of that video occasionally.

Nice to see this. You've been a must-see with me for the last few months.

Thank you very much for your video work! Very enjoyable! 😎😎Good luck to you ❤❤

The sound on my nearfield studio monitors was way better than any guitar I've heard in this price class. Impressed I am ! Tnx fer the great vid!

That first Fesley you demoed looks like an ESP I had years ago. I think I posted on that video that I got a strat kit guitar from Fesley and it was really good. Pre-finished body, nice feeling neck, shaped headstock with subtle branding. Even the composite material they used for the fingerboard looks and feels nice. The 3-tone sunburst looks great. I put a cheap eBay neck on it because those are good enough now that it makes me think twice about buying from the major parts suppliers. Got an aged yellow loaded pickguard with alnicos and pressed steel saddles. Put vintage kluson style locking tuners on it. It looks like a vintage pre-CBS Strat but with some modern conveniences.

Awesome video and great personality. That guitar is cool

You need a giant stack of PRINCETONS!

Ryan, have you ever played a KAPA Continental from the 60's? They are the perfect first electric for younger smaller hands , but you can play it for life due to it's full scale neck and great sounding humbuckers. I got a used blood red Continental in 1981 from my brother for Christmas. I'd played acoustic for two years already at that point and I'd just assumed all electrics had that same ultra low action. It felt great to play, so I put thousands of hours on that guitar. It had a Jaguar type tremolo that I loved to play the strings behind the bridge and do light bends with the heel of my picking hand.

Informative and entertaining video, but I wonder if you need a third (or fourth) Princeton

Being a bassist I really hope they start putting out some basses. I am very impressed with all the vids I've watched. I'd like to pick up a Fesley to replace my Ibanez Gio 6 string. I'd like to see it in seafoam green. Maybe some day.

The not present gunk in the routing is on the manufacturer. A matte finish would require just as much buffing compound. A gloss finish needs a lower grit to achieve the sheen is all. Good on fesley!

Wiwbnice and light.Ryan seriously though on the third knob deal i dont use it much but some times i look for a bit of sustain out of a humbucker but look to darken it up a bit if you can make sense of that lol i tend to do that with the neck aswell more when im doing ambient stuff. Great review though im really into these affordable guitars now days .i really wish some one would do reviews on bachuss global series im in canada and never see them .a bit under the radar but man they are good looking guitars with some interestung specs havw a boo at em Ryan Thanks Tim from canada.

That is standard strat wiring, no bridge tone. I usually do bridge tone 2, n+m tone 1. Or master tone 1 and blender tone 2. Another great feature of strats is the almost endless variety of wiring.

I bought one of these, unfortunately the whole neck came with hurtful fret sprouts. If it was a few, I could have file them down, but it was most of the frets which would take too much time to work on. So I returned it. It may just be my bad luck. The setup of the guitar was great, it fact the greatest I have ever received. Action is low. The pickups are hot, I love the sound. Too bad the fret sprouts really bothered me. I may give it another try.

Like that shellish pink. Don't like the black hardware. Would go chrome/nickle realistically, or white ideally. Like the bright pickups. I have a dark amp, I think bright strings/pickups/fretboards sound better into amp overdrive, or pedal overdrive or pedal distortion... I like a sizzly light breakup in the high mids. I'd buy this guitar if I had money.

I like ceramic pickups and especially in the neck position of hh guitars

A super strat has the bridge run with no tone control just like eddies frankenstrat the original super strat. fesley pickups use alnico V magnets

I was interested in the esp eclipse clone and then they came out with a camo one I kinda want to try it. I don’t know about the pepto pink but I kinda like it but I’ve been developing an appreciation for ugly guitars I’ve even came around to the SG shape a little more recently I must be getting old. I’d still say the Iceman is my favorite shape because it strikes the perfect balance of extreme yet classy at the same time.

the center spring isn't doing anything . all trim forces are transferred to the diagonal springs as they're stretched further

@smudge0356

21 күн бұрын

True! BUT that's only until they're stretched enough to allow the centre spring to take tension, then all three will act together as one. At that point the whammy bar will become harder to push. This means there is a variable spring rate built-in to the mechanism. If you were to shorten the middle spring and lengthen the outer ones then for the first part of the travel you'd only be pushing against one spring and have a lighter action at first, stiffening up lots more as you push deeper. By playing with different lengths, and strengths, of springs, you could precisely tune the 'whammy' to suit the way you play, for a more progressive feel you could use 'variable rate' springs. WOW! It's almost like the inventor/designer/engineer made it like that on purpose! But if they didn't, then they're dumb and obviously should've thought about it more, rather than just 'Luck' into it! {pun intended}. 🤣🤣

I own a $200 Teisco for comparison that I run through that amp and I really can attest to those who say it's better to buy a nice amp than guitar. I really like the branding. Make's it seem like a non cheap guitar and the name Fesley sounds like a last name like a Fender. Harley Benton is the only affordable guitar brand that has that rock-able name.
