The Guitar That's Taking On Gibson and Epiphone!

Музыка

Some guitarists are wondering what the best budget guitar is when you're looking for a Gibson style guitar, whether it's a Les Paul style or a semi hollow 338 style body. One company is challenging the established industry, AIO, All In One guitars is punching way above their weight class. With ebony fretboards, Grover tuners, flame maple top and backs, and beautiful fretwork, whether you're looking at the KSA-50 or the SC77 as covered by Lester Mitchell, it's hard to argue with the extreme value that these guitars provide.

    I have American made les Paul's and strats. I took a Chance on aio wolf and bought an s1 based on one of your reviews. It is now my number 1. I plan to buy more of their guitars. You cannot beat them for price. They are ready to rock out of the box ! They even let you pick your setup specs for free, nobody else does that. I let them know you got me to buy it. Thanks guitar max.

    Hey, Max! It was posted on July 24, 2024. You might want to add it to your list of interviews. I have an abiding respect for A.I.O. ever since I caught your interview with the big boss at their store. It’s the kind of thing I will never forget. Serious dude. I remember he personally double checks every single guitar after his people have finished setting them up. All of them. That’s amazing; to be the one guy who says, “If you own an AIO, I saw it, I touched it, and it’s set up exactly my way. I approved THAT guitar myself.” Hell of a thing, Max. I don’t know of anybody else who can do and say that. That’s some serious culturally inherent, unrelenting pursuit of perfection and reputation. So if anybody has a complaint, they would talk to THAT guy. All In One. Now THAT’s cool!

    They're an OEM guitar ordered from a decent manufacturer to their specs and set up before being dispatched. The company is a couple of guys with low overheads and they sell direct. Pretty simple business formula. Of course it's a different scenario to Epiphone who employ hundreds or thousand of people and have massive overheads and by the way also has the history of actually designing these types of instruments not just copying them. It's like buying some fantastic food truck meal where the owner is the cook, cleaner, server, bookkeeper etc and keeps all the profit for himself or going to a nice restaurant and getting a similar meal where the owner has Chefs, kitchen staff, servers, accountants, rent, utilities, liability insurance and shitloads of other overheads.

    Where these guitars excel is you could effortlessly get endless sustain, like a Sustainiac but without needing a battery or special electronics. You basically controlled the feedback/endless notes with the angle your held your guitar in relation to your proximity from your speaker. If done right, you really didn't need to crank up the volume or gain much on your amp, although turning up the volume on a distortion box could easily get you edge of breakup and feedback with unlimited sustain. Guitar tone heaven!

    "audio taper" potentiometers are made to the spec's of "Pink noise" & the human ear's perception of 3db = 2X louder. "Linear taper" potentiometers are made to the spec's of "White Noise" & handling electronics "actual" voltage 1 Volt = 0 db V.U. (previously .775 V = 0 VU). 500k ohm pot's sound better than 250k ohm pot's do for passive, low voltage signals. Summary: full size 500k Pot's with an 'Audio Taper' work best for all purposes. Original "Gibson" parts (3-way toggle switch, 2 vol, 2 tone pot's & output jack) were all made by "Switchcraft".

    I watch a KZread creator's review of a Firefly guitar. This thing was beautiful and sounded killer. I wonder how Firefy measures up to AIO? Firefly is another one of those guitar makers that put out quality guitars at an extremely affordable price.

  • @alsantangelo

    @alsantangelo

    Күн бұрын

    From my limited experience with both, I think the extra cost of the AIO gets you a little more QC and some better hardware/electronics. Firefly is definitely fun and worth the money, especially if you can do your own setups and know how to do minor things like pickup swaps, some fret work, etc. But if you have to pay someone to do all that, it'll end up being the same price as these AIOs anyway. And, I've noticed that the new Firefly models are definitely better done than the originals, so they're always improving.
