UNDER $200 For This BEAUTIFUL and EXOTIC Guitar!? (never heard of this brand...)

Музыка

This is the Volgoa VLG-6 guitar that I bought on Amazon for $180. With prices ranging from 150 to 200... the specs on this guitar are crazy cool. I've never heard of this brand before (not to be confused with Vangoa)... but let's plug it in and do a full review.
Sorry, these are totally sold out now. Guitar WAS here: amzn.to/3G9vgbk
Amp used in demo (Fender GTX100): amzn.to/3eI8MCG

    Max, I’m proof to your theory A guitars looks is a catalyst to playing. I had a Epiphone LP studio 20 years ago for my 1st electric. 12 months past as I picked it up once in A while trying to learn. I decided to “Browse” the guitar store and a Red Quilted Ibanez changed everything. A sale sent me home with It at $199. I learned more in 12 Weeks than I did in 12 months with the black LP. Those red horns and quilted top along with EMG doubles wrapped in black contrasting the Shark tooth inlays had me coming back DAILY! Keep the vids coming, you rock KZread. Very well spoken and informative vids with get to the point accuracy. Thank you for that. With your help, I own A WOLF Lp, a Firefly FF338 Spalted maple, and IYV PRS. Great quality axes can be purchased for under $500..and sometimes under $300!

    I Grabed one of these the night Max put this Vid up. It is a Beautiful Super Strat w/ a Mahogony Body and Carmelized maple neck , a Super hard smooth HPL. Fretboard , Rounded Stainless steal Frets. -- Free Shipping. even the PU's are good. You could upgrade the trem block w/ a brass block for 25 bucks. The one thing I don't like is the headstick White letering which is a garish mark in an otherwise nice guitar. 189.Very Good deal. If you get a bad one its Amazon so just return it for free. Some may have bad sodering in the wiring no big deal. Mine is fine. Good bones for sure. Nicer/ Better than a firefly. SG. IMO.

I’m not a fan of humbuckers unless they are being played kinda like they way you play, which isn’t how I play. Lol. Of course. The pick ups sound like the alnico, wax coated HBs in my Pelham blue 335 which are the loudest and quietest pick ups I’ve ever played (I mention the Pelham blue because exactly - a guitar has to look a certain way for you want to play it).

Not saying you need to spend 2k on a guitar BUT everything from the pickups to the pots and switches down to the nut and tuners comes from the bottom of the basement. They slap them together and kick them out the door without even so much as looking at them. I do not see how anyone would expect anything different. It cost nothing to slap a cheap veneer on a chunk of wood to make it look pretty. If you like the guitar that's great!

    The neck heel looks like it's carved pretty closely to a prestige or j custom. I have a couple Starfield (a single year run, 20+ years ago) that have the same heel. It's an excellent shape and actually enables an ease of play on the upper frets that goes beyond access - when you're reaching you don't feel a square-ish heel/plate pressing into the palm of your hand; I came to like it so much I basically created a "heel comfort" category in my mental assessment list to help me decide whether or not to keep/buy/replace an instrument...glad to see it turn up in a range that even beginners can afford - you'll be a lot more likely to practice more if your instrument plays well and sits nice in your hand.

    It depends upon the style of music you play, if you only want one type of sound you can easily pick up a guitar like this and buy a Humbucker for sub $100 swap out the default (in my experience not very good) strings and boom for under $300 you have a rather nice setup. These often have cheap electronics so I'd recommend just wiring your good Humbucker straight to the plug and not having to worry about it. I bought my daughter a kids guitar for around $120 that's nicer than it has any right to be at that price range, sand the fretwires (minimally, they're not too bad,) replace the strings, and maybe do the electronic work as previously mentioned, and it would be as good as many guitars you can spend 5x that much on.

    Best part of these guitars is that they don't lose value when you mod them. Trying to sell my wife on how great the house would look with guitars hanging on every wall. Working on getting around "Why do you need yet another goddamn guitar!?" and "I'm not going to live in a guitar store!"

    Likely she wouldn't be saying things like "Why do you need yet another goddamn guitar!?" and "I'm not going to live in a guitar store!", if you weren't attempting to hang them on every wall of the house you SHARE. It's a house and should look like a home shared by ADULTS. It's not a storage warehouse, and attempting to make them look like part of the decor is neither reasonable nor should you expect her to accept that. Designate them to ONE room (make a room into a studio or office) and I guarantee you'll find greater acceptance to your collection - because she won't have to see them all over the house. Think, brother.

    Subscribed. Awesome review! Thanks! I clicked the link to grab this guitar for myself but it's unfortunately unavailable now only 2 weeks after you posted this video about it. I did find other ones in similar price ranges but I'm reluctant to get a guitar like this mail ordered without seeing a really good review like this about it. I've been considering buying a build-it kit from thomannmusic. I end up customizing the poo out of my guitars anyway so I think that's the way I'm going to go for my next one and build the guitar I always wanted that has all the features I want. I would have broken the budget for that idea if this was available because I was buying it if it was available.

    i'm almost 60 years old and i grew up listening to alot of different music from alot of genres, my favorite became rock after i started listening to f.m. radio in 1978. music certainly has changed alot since then but only since the late 90's has for me become unlistenable. i love the video's that you do that highlight some really good guitars for not so much money, i'm hoping it will get some young and old musicians into playing and coming up with some new old school fm rock. as a black man i understand that rock was introduced to the world by my people, i'm not saying everyone has to agree with me but it's getting harder to be a black man in this society to love rock and roll. i can't stand rap or hip hop....it's just not for me. anyway, thank you for posting about some inexpensive ways to get into actually playing real music.

    That fretboard looks amazing the Frets look perfect. Makes me kind of want to spray one of my squire Laurel fret boards with some nitro or some polyurethane or something to get that look although you'd really have to go through a lot of sanding 2000 grit 3000 grit 4000 grit maybe up to even five thousand grit then apply whatever finish and then start puffing away until she shines like that. Maybe a little car wax to finish her off lol yeah I just cannot get over the look at that neck that is like the best of both worlds. Thanks again Max for bringing us another winner you my friend are incredible and I am so glad you are here to guide us into not wasting our money on buying $5,000 guitars especially if we're not in bands and touring the country or the world of course then we probably have to buy a $20,000 guitar but I would bet you that if you had to gig you could probably take this guitar on stage and people would be wandering wowwhat the hell is that guy playing. I mean it does sound great and when the light hit that fretboard every guitar guy in the audience is going to be looking at each other going what the hell is that thing it's like a guitar from outer space. Yes Max has a guitar from planet Zeutron! Right on brother

    I wonder about the wiring modification possibilities. Would love to replace the pots with pull switch types to select single coil/humbucker on the neck and bridge PUs. I did this on my Schecter C-6 Plus and it gives me more tonal options from one axe. The Schecter doesn't have a middle PU, so I'm thinking the pull switch mod could give you a strat-ish tone approximation on the Volgoa.

Sounds good, looks good 🤘🤘 honestly 1 of my favorite guitars I own that I love to play, is my 250 dollar epiphone slash AFD model. The sustain that guitar has, is sick IMO. Can hold a note for days. But I am definitely gonna look into getting one of these. Thank you for this video. Awesome review.
