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
Shred with my instructional programs: maxcarlisle.sellfy.store/

Merry Christmas to you and yours Max. Thank you for highlighting a great cross section of eclectic and affordable guitars for another year. Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year, and good luck with the album. Tim from Oz.
I'm loving how often the uploads have been coming!
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!
WOW That thing is beautiful! Love the budget vids!
Probably the nicest looking budget guitar I've seen in a long time.
Surprised no one has commented on how good those pickups sound. Very PAFish in the cleans, lovely tone

Awesome vid sir, been watching gorgeous a while now. Got excited about a few of these bargains, but never pulled the trigger. This one got me. Ordered the blue HSH. Be here on the 30. Thank u Max. Happy Holidays.
Man, it's been a hot minute since I've picked up any of my guitars, because when has been crazy, but watching that shred has me excited to start playing again.
Nice review thanks. I have an Ibanez GRX70 and the body has the same graphics. Not convinced about that fret board and thought it was a little odd the bridge pick-up was louder than the others but for the price point you really can’t argue and as you say looks amazing
Awesome guitar, max! 😎🤘🏻🎸 and Merry Christmas. That is a nice looking guitar. And it sounds awesome for the price.
I would have flipped if that had been available in the 80's, as a teen I traded a dirtbike for a no name crapcaster 9000 that was slightly less fun to fret than a chain saw let alone play (kimberly guitar)... Got a budget Ibanez last year for Christmas, and now LOVE to play guitar again! Keep up these good reviews!

Like the roasted maple neck and roller truss rod. The Amazon site mentions it has carbon rod reinforcement. Pretty cool. Be interested in a later review of guitar after you have had it for a while.
I ordered the Telecaster style version. Same color, but two pickups with a coil split. It's coming tomorrow and your video has me even more psyched up for it. There are some negative reviews regarding the electronics, but for $150, it's worth a shot.
Its beautiful! May have to order this one.
Glad I subscribe! Any guitar he reviews sell out within a day usually
I was doubting pulling the trigger on this since they only have 3 stars reviews, but I'm glad you did a review on it. I've been wanting to order their tele version.

This is the only one I kept, returned 2 other Volgoa models. What do you think of the pickups? Mine were slightly misaligned to the strings. Also had to dull the fret ends, no ball endings unfortunately. But decided to keep it - headless for this price and stainless is a keeper
Okay, I 'm sold. Love the tone.
Some of the reviews for the guitar are bad, but for that price point, and the beauty of it, the electronics and pickups can be swapped out if need be. About half the people that got one are totally happy with it. I'm on the waiting list...
Thanks, Max! Just subscribed 🤘
Oh yeah I'm getting one. That stick is beautiful and sounds amazing.
Thanks! I just ordered the Volgoa GTM-01, it's more my style, great looks, specs and diversity on this one at a much cheaper price with the coupon.
You do something I thought was pretty unique to me... in the right index slides during tapping 😱🔥🔥🔥
Great review! I agree with the fact that a great looking guitar makes you want to play even more. How does that composite fingerboard material feel? Does it have the feel of a finished maple?
Max with the insane recommendations again.
Thanks again Max!
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.
Really like the finish. Sounds good.
Are you going to do a review on the teeth whitening foam down the road? Good one, I hit the like button after hearing that. Honestly I'm intrigued, didn't know that existed and now I want to try some. Love the channel, Max, happy holidays and keep kicking sweet ass as usual! 🤘🎸
I added it to my guitar shopping list. GAS is a problem. Thank you for contributing to the issue.
Wow always great thanks you as always keeps rocking 😊
Let me say something. Not a pro. But. Max can make any quitar to play amazingly. Every time it is WOW! Thank you, Max!
Ordered one right after seeing this for a Christmas game my partner’s family plays.
Hi Max, love your channel. It seems your camera is usually slightly out of focus. Again, love the channel and content! You have inspired me to buy one of these budget guitars and mod the crap out of it!
Absolutely agree about your point about the look of the instrument. A guitar you want to pick up and play is … surprise … a guitar that gets you playing! Looks don’t equate to tone but man they really do matter.
Ok I’m impressed all the way around beautiful well rounded clean tone good sounding pick ups
Owow, sounds good! Cool intro solo!
Great breakdown on the details of what you get for under 200. That fretboard sheen is amazing. I’m wondering how tuning will stand up to trem usage and to dropping down to C or even A. 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).
These affordable guitars are getting better and better. What a great time to be a player!

@@dragan4658 If they sell it at $150-$200 how much money do you think it cost them to produce OR how much time and care went into it may I ask? The answer is none. 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! Just myself personally I do not understand the logic behind purchasing something like this just to wind up spending as much (At the very least) OR more to get rid of the junk when you could have just saved that money and purchased something better to begin with.
I like the raw look of no frames on the pickups, reminds me of Eddie's Frankenstrat which is never a bad thing
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.
I am going to order one of them.. It looks way cooler then any one's I seen for as low as it cost.. Thanks 😊👍

I couldn't agree more with your "I want to pick up that guitar and play" analogy. Look good, play good from Dieon Sanders comes to mind. I'm now a subscriber....thinking of buying this guitar. I just pulled the trigger on a BCP cutaway acoustic-electric...fingers crossed, going to try and learn to play BOTH!
My biggest gripe many years ago with cheap guitars, out of the box, is a lot of them have certain pickup positions that are only tonally useful and strong in one area only. From what I heard of you playing it clean it doesn't sound like it has that issue. That right there made me thing '... nice'.

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.
Bravo sir Bravo hell of a find
Thanks Man !
That looks like it has real potential. Very nice for the first impression. I wish when I started playing we had all the options for well built and great sounding affordable guitars. I'm just a hack amateur guitarist so I love these affordable guitars to this day and that is what I look to buy to get all the guitars I want. I appreciate your reviews. But I think what we are all wondering though is, did you get the teeth whitening foam and how was it? When is that review coming?

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.
The ball end frets are must-have for any guitar I’m going to get going forward.

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.

Great find and review..thanks.. unbelievable what you get for your money....even the trem seemed to hold tuning better then a traditional strat trem..still being issued on expensive brand name guitars. May I ask where this is made..my guess would be s.Korea.
with you playing the guitar which every time you do that let's me know whether or not I will choose to even give a guitar a second glance and this one I will be checking out.
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 got the epiphone special SG in black off Amazon for the Christmas deals. Sounds and plays great!
Beautiful! Clean channel stuff sounded good. Distortion was terrible but could probably be tweaked
I dig it. May have my next axe
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.
Great review. I have a few expenses guitars but I like buying cheaper ones that play great in spite of their lower cost. I can buy one on the fly just for grins. Guitars are like guns and motorcycles, I don’t need more then one but I like to own lots more then just one. Thanks
Definitely need a follow up video!!
love budget guitar videos
Nice....I just checked Amazon. $189. But they also have a model that is modeled after the John Pechuci signature model. Music man guitar. $199. Very similar. Except his style pick-ups. Controls. And headstock. 4+2
Gotta say, as a fan of Gibson and epiphone which i have several. That is not a bad guitar at all. 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.
