It's amazing to me how you make ANY guitar sound incredible. Kudos to your awesome guitar skills. A real pro. Thanks for reviewing this guitar. I learned that the frets are small, the bridge is backwards and the pickups are not active. Very important details ill say. Keep up the good content!👍🤘

Scorpeens jam!!! Nicely done sir! And I am absolutely amazed that they didn't put a tremelo on it! 😆

Hair Metal ballad through and through!!! Love it!!! YOU ROCK BUD🤘🙏

Awesome Vid !! You have a World Class vibrato Technique !! Bravo

Man thank you for the accurate and relevant information on this one. They were SO CLOSE to having an Eclipse killer. Its such a good looking guitar! The neck and the frets are the hang ups for me. If the Fesley would get the jumbo ball end frets and slim the neck it would be fantastic However, the Leo Jaymes (sp) Tempest...its my new favorite! A slight set up, swapped to locking tuners and WOW! Even the pickups are excellent. That guitar is the best bang for the buck I have experienced!! All in all the budget guitars are getting better and better!!

Very impressive review, in more ways than one😯... We see a way forward and must act. Thank you for sharing these valuable ideas!👍👍

Best nation in the world!

Thanks for confirming the correct direction of the Tune-O-Matic bridge. I have an Ibanez LP-style guitar, and the bridge fell off the first time I changed the strings. Since I hadn't really paid attention to which direction it was going beforehand, I wasn't sure how it should go. So I searched for images of my guitar model to see how it should go and ... it was about a 50/50 split in the photos I found. So I wasn't sure if the factory was installing them inconsistently, or if all these other players had the same issue I had of just not knowing which way to put it back after falling off. I eventually just looked at LPs on the Gibson site to see how they do it.

Nice🦂flavored jam, I'd say!😊 love strats and Paul's! Thanks Shreddermister 😊 jumbo is where it's at!

Cool axe! BTW I see Amazon just got a new headless model from Censtar with a much cooler body shape than the old one. Would love a review if possible!

I dig the song. Here's some lyrics for it: "There's no one like Fesley Guitars, They ain't no Elvis Presley Guitars, I can imagine the things to be played With two buckers in that array..."

Oi! Lad. Great review and the tune you wrote was on point brother , there was one part of the song that I could have sworn I heard The Scorpions . Awesome tune though. thanks

I was about to mention Sean’s impressions of the Pink one he got on the live stream. He immediately noticed it wasn’t grounded, so there’s a huge microphonic issue. I don’t think he was thrilled with the pickups. I’m looking forward to his review to see what else he finds. I wonder if Sean also found some of the same issues as Baldie over here once he was able to take a closer look off camera. It’s hugely surprising given that the other Fesley models seemed really fantastic.

@@MashaT22 Yeah that's one of the biggest problems with cheap/budget guitars , it's hit or miss and the consistency isn't there. So unless you know how to fix the issues they probably wouldn't be good for a beginner. I buy the budget one's mainly to use as platforms for modding out , but I've also got some higher end guitars. I probably wouldn't buy this LP though....

Just got the fesley lp Yesterday for a 149 guitar its amazing no sharp fret ends no fret buzz the only thing I had to do is turn the bridge around and tuzne it and intonte it .the p/u don't sound bad and it plays pretty go od.I started playing back in 1967 with a kent guitar it wasn't very good I wish they would have made these back then.

Dammit, I realy love te looks of this guitar! All the flaws you mentioned could have been avoided at the factory but the lack of jumbo frets killed it for me... 😎

I would have felt a bit sketchy about my purchase right out of the box so to speak if I had a gap in the neck like yours. I wouldn’t help but wonder ok where else did they cut corners or looked the other way when building this guitar. You made it sound fantastic however and I’m sure if they want to cut into the market they will improve on their quality. Nice homage to the Scorpions in you jam btw! 👍🏼👍🏼😃

Thanks for this review, Richard. Now, about those frets. I'm rather fret agnostic, probably because I started playing in the late 1970s when fret wire size wasn't even a thing. I would imagine that I grew up playing what we'd call medium sized frets these days. I didn't really take note of the size of a guitar's frets until I got my first Schecter (of two). Schecter used the REALLY extra jumbo fret wire on BOTH those axes. Huge! Loved the way they played, though; I DID buy them! I find that I really care rather little about things that many guitarists obsess about. After a long bout of owning and playing nothing but fretboards with flat radii, I started thinking that I might NEED the flatness. Imagine my surprise when I found comfortable and playable my two (still) new Donner DST-400s with their 9.5 inch radius, which is what I call Fender's "modern traditional" radius. (Their older 7.25 inch radius I call "classic" or "vintage.") While I'm still a bit leery of the classic radius, I find the Donner radius better than tolerable even while I also detect a bit more effort needed to stretch strings. And now that I've mentioned classic, vintage and modern, please allow me to say that I'm more into the modern stuff. That's why Fender, Gibson and PRS are unlikely to sell me anything, and that goes double for Heritage. I love what all these companies do, but they hew more to the traditional, while I dance to the beat of a more lively drummer. Thankfully for Fender, they have Jackson (I got one of those!) and Charvel, so they remain on my radar. Gibson has Kramer, but Kramer hasn't really grabbed me since they were still doing the godawful heavy-ass aluminum-necked monstrosities they tried to sell back in the day. All that said and done, though, it remains all about the quality of the match between the player's needs and the guitar's features and resources. In other words: If it feels, sounds and plays good, it IS good!

I had some $ left on an Amazon gift card, so I just ordered one to mess around with in the Tobacco Sunburst color. I'll re-fret with some 6100 wire - and if there's room under the truss rod, scrape down the neck to a more modern-ish C shape. I'll check back in when done.

Maybe you could do a video about which budget guitars have jumbo frets and are good value "metal" options.

Fesley seems like a decent brand. And they don't make their logo look stupid and jakey like some other brands. It's actually kinda classy.

Have you ever tried any of the US or JP Wolfgang models with the vintage stainless steel frets? I've played jumbo in most cases since the 80s but love the vintage SS. If you haven't ever played one give it a try if you get a chance! Great review on this budget Eclipse!

Nice jam. Just shows how guitars are built now vs. years sho. Budget guitars were really not good at all.

How was the set up when it arrived ? Did you do anything special to it

So there's a "backwards" with a Tune-o-Matic bridge? Because looking at it, you have three saddles which "face" one direction, three which "face" the opposite direction, and if you rotate it 180 degrees, they're still facing the same direction. Obviously, if the saddles are notched (not all are), that could be a huge issue but I actually think it's smarter (and easier to adjust) if the screws are on the bottom facing the tail piece.

I like my ltd 253 , it has a carved top.....

That thing looks great.. only wish there was a good tremolo on it....

I agree. reminds me of the scorpions. Which is not a bad thing.

This would have been much better with an ebony fretboard. If they’d change that, and frets, this would be a great candidate for a complete electronics upgrade (active pups, and switchgear).

Do they make one with a 50 guage low B string?

Your jam reminds me of the scorpions, no one like you!!

what do you think about kerry king new band

I just bought one of those last week, because I watched Fulton beats something

I scalloped a Firefly just for the learning experience of modding and now it's my go to guitar ,,, with a Seymour added....this looks like another candidate..... thanks!

I like my shredding like I like my Taco Bell salsa, mild. Great jam. I like the way the neck looks, seems like a nice cheap fiddle.

@@thebaldshredder That's what she ... Nvm. Yes, XJ or bust. At least Jumbo frets.

There's no right or wrong way a tune o matic bridge faces. They are designed to be turned either way to accommodate for intonation adjustments with the saddles. Another way to do that if you want your adjustment screws facing a certain direction is to take the individual saddles out and flip them the other way.
