That opening song you wrote is so optimistic and fun. And very inventive. I love it!

I like how you reach back to the 80's and snatch up some awesome riffs! Enjoyed the jam. Nice guitar. Engineered fretboards are supposed to be stiffer that all wood fretboards. I have no problem with this. Cool guitar, cool jam, cool video. Thanks.

Looks like a good option. I do agree with some of the feedback about the block neck joint, branding on the fretboard, etc. I know you and others have given them some advice, and I hope they’ll take it! Hopefully they’re reading the comments so they will also have feedback from customers.

What a great deal, and we all dig goodie bags! I LOVE the tones on your clean jam, it made a gloomy rainy Monday a little brighter. Rock-On Shredder! 🎶🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸🎵

Another great demo!

I like that headstock on that one.

As usual with many of the guitars you feature, amazing bang for the buck!

Just ordered the blue one, can't wait!

The tremolo bar problem is an easy fix, they actually make a little spring you can put in there and then you screw the bar in and it slowly puts tension on the bar as you screw it in, thus eliminating the loose rattling noise

For the loose wiggle stick, you can try putting some copper tape around the threads. That should hold it in place better.

@thebaldshredder

Yeah I know, but let's face it, lots of people are too lazy to do that. LOL. A push in bar would be much preferred.

Put a small tremolo spring in it . Amazon has them cheap I got a few for my Strat and they work great.

Oh no, another guitar I want that I don't need. It does sound and look great.

Yeah these look like really killer guitars - esp for that kind of cash. And as always, a great jamm. Lots of fun here. Ole' 6-String Stanger just had the Black one on his channel this week-end, and that one looks amazing too. I really dig what they did with these. I want one!

Great jam this time. This is a pretty nice guitar that is worth the price! Thanks for sharing this. Keep on shreddin'!

Some teflon tape on the trem bar threads will fix it. Almost a must on cheap guitars of any brand. Also did a little measuring on my Cozart Strat and discovered it is actually a Dinky body. It always felt a little off to me for a Strat, but in a good way. It is actually my number one these days after swapping in an old set of Fender Vintage Noiseless and CTS pots. The cheap dime pots simply could not handle the Fender pups.

Great review and shredding , looks and sounds awesome. PS I noticed the Monsoon is back in stock and they have them in black now , looks killer!✌️🤘

Great video, you might want to drop a small spring in the tremolo bar hole it worked on other guitars for me.

Amazing playing, 🤘🤘🤘 keep up great work!!

Good Job as always, especially on the info of the little items that tend to annoy buyers. 😉

I like that black headstock as well, that was good move by them.

I like those harmonics you added to your jam. That's hard to do. 🔥🎸

As for as the bar, someone could use some putty on the threads of the bar it will take of the slack.

I wish they used something different for the dots otherwise very tempting

Imagine that...Fesley on the accessories... DUDE SERIOUSLY??!!

Cool guitar. Sounds like a keeper to me. About the loose trem bar, the classic 6 screw and 2 point trems usually come with a small spring that is supposed to go it the trem bar hole before you thread the bar into place. It provides resistance so there is no slack in the bar. Sometimes there's a tiny ziplock bag included that has the spring, sometimes there's no included spring.

@thebaldshredder

6 ай бұрын

Thanks RJ. No spring with this one.

One trick with the bar like that is to wrap some plumbers tape around the threads of the bar. It'll tighten it up and might hold it then where you need it.

I may get yelled at for this, but at my age, I really don't give a crap. I am 66 and have been playing for 51 years. I really appreciate your playing though I am not really in to metal, I live somewhere between Deaf Leopard and Deep Purple with a little, Jethro Tull thrown in there. I recently watched a video from a creator I am sure you are familiar with, Guitar Max, and one from someone you may not be familiar with, Leo Gibson. Both are accomplished guitarists but it seems lately, they are getting lazy. I respect the way your pick hand keeps up with your fret hand, you basically pick pretty well ever note you want to play. I am a purist, and this to me is how the guitar is meant to be played. I am more of a strat, superstrat style guitar lover, though I have a number of guitars with humbuckers, find overdriving single coils produce the sound I am looking to create. And to end, to your viewers, speaking from experience. If you find a guitar, either new or used that was made in Indonesia, check that guitar out thoroughly. I have been very impressed with a couple of so called, lower end guitar purchases made in Indonesia. To the point where I own six of these guitars made in Indonesia. Keep doing your thing, looks like your efforts are very appreciated by your followers.

I actually love your playing but those drum tracks are hilarious! I'd be lost without your budget guitar reviews tho. I've been playing forever but I'm still kinda mediocre... but I do love trying new gear and changing pickups and finishes and things, it's just fun. Nice to be able to know what to get to keep it cheap since I'll probably always suck hahaha Keep up the good work!

Even with the loose bar, it would be good to demonstrate the whammy, specially about tuning stability.

I love your channel and videos bu it would have been nice to do the clean demo without a modulation effect on it. It doesn't need to be dry, maybe just use some reverb and delay. The chorus effect just covers up what I'm trying to hear when I'm listening to cleans. With that said, I'm probably going to buy this guitar anyway. I'll probably the fender trem spring to get the bar where I want it

I was on the line with you that night. You had the earthquake period period and I was asking a question about either. Either I Y V or Presley, bringing out any HSS and at that time. He told me you didn't think that they were or because there's so many h. Yes. S hers on the market. But I'm glad to see that they did bring something out. That looks so beautiful and sounds so great. I really wanna purge when I'm hoping I have it. I wanna get on now Amazon right now. Thanks for the info.

My question is this. Besides the guitar and the amp. I have no idea what else i need as to different sounds to make. i.e. pedals or computer apps that record the rhythm and lead tracks etc. Are you willing to help me? I am going to you first. Thanks for your content

Start simple, then work your way up. Get a guitar, amp, and cable. I'd probably get a small amp with built in effects like reverb and delay. Boss Katana or any Line 6 amps are good for that. That way you can get different sounds without pedals.

what you said about the trem is exactly whats wrong with the player strat its clacky it moves around in the rout it feels cheap

You mentioned the tremolo is a floater. Is it hard to tune like the Floyd rose lock nut floating tremolo? Im interested in a new budget friendly guitar that's easy to tune. Looks like a good enough guitar for an old timer like me that enjoys playing just for fun. Great video my friend.

It's easier than a Floyd Rose. If you don't want it to float, you can just tighten the claw that the springs attach to. That will pull the bridge down to the body and it will be dive only.

Richlite is manufactured and is superior or at least comparable to any other fretboard material.

Well I Bought My First Fesley. to Add to My Collection of 105 Guitars...,

Really dig it.

Very DBZ sounding shreds!

At $190 it just doesn't really seem like a good buy compared to the other import brands out there like Leo Jaymz, Firefly, or IVY that are bringing better features such as locking tuners, roasted maple, ball end stainless frets, spoke wheel truss, etc. Without those extra features, that leaves it really competing with entry level guitars from more established brands like Ibanez, Jackson, Squier, Kramer, etc. And, based on your glowing review of the Jackson JS11 I really wonder why anyone should even consider the Fesley.
