@@FlorenceViolet-o8u I believe most if not all of the S series are more expensive. That said, I think it’s one of the best options for budget metal and I find myself playing this guitar frequently. I like it so much, I’m probably going to buy the explorer shape soon. 🤘🎸

So I got this from Musician’s Friend and I think this model was an exclusive to Musician’s Friend/Guitar Center… That said, I’ve seen some killer Black Friday deals on the C-6, I believe it was Sweetwater, and only $499… I’d definitely check that out if you’re interested in this guitar

Good to know. I think I'll get it!!! Thank you

What is the length from the top of the headstock to the bottom of the body?

@@Lusciousriffs Intonation is making sure the guitar is in tuner with both open strings and fretting notes/chords at both ends of the fretboard. It’s not hard to do, although last time I did it in a video, I screwed it up 😂 🤦‍♂️… If you go to Philip McKnight’s channel, he’s got a great video on how to do it… It’s really not hard to do. How can you tell if your guitar needs it? Well, if the guitar sounds in tune when you play open strings, but is then out of tune when fretting notes/chords, then your intonation is off. Hope this helps

@@FretboardDiaries yo, I actually just watched that video an hour ago. It does look pretty easy. Whenever I get the new axe I'll try it out. Thanks 🤙

Completely understandable… I bought this new in 2019 and paid just under $1000 for it, which is a lot more reasonable… $1,500 is a considerable increase

I’m actually a few over 170… Proof that not only is the guitar so large it makes one look smaller, but also hides the dad bod 😂 🤦‍♂️

Understandable… I’ve always had a propensity towards Explorer shapes, but I get it, it’s not for everyone.

🤘🎸😂

Absolutely! Fun guitar to mod too…

In that case, check out the video I did where I put GFS Redactive pickups in this guitar… Aside from sounding great, it looks AMAZING 👀🤘🎸

@FretboardDiaries hell yeah 🔥

@@wasteddude9387 I’m a bit partial to that Explorer myself… 👀… Although the Greeny LP would be my second choice

@FretboardDiaries yup. One of the reasons I didn't choose the explorer is because I have one. Sorta... it's a green flame burst Westcreek. Close enough.

@@gypsytears22352 I got that in high school as a birthday gift some 30 years ago… I lost it shortly there after… Fast forward to 2018, when my Mom passed away, my Dad found it in her jewelry box. I’ve worn it ever since… I have no idea where she got it, it was before the internet was even a thing 😂… Maybe I need to figure out how to have some molded from gold and sell them, but as of now, I don’t know where it came from unfortunately 🤘🎸

I’ll be honest and say I simply don’t remember if GFS changed their design or not. I think they did, but I’m not certain. What I can tell you is that their solderless system connects on the bottom and can apparently cause some issues fitting in with pickup height. On an older guitar I did (before I was doing UA-cam) I used a dremel to notch out the route in the guitar to make them fit. I don’t recommend this unless you really know what you’re doing. That said, if you check my channel, you’ll see I have a video of their Lil Killers (not active) going into a Harley Benton Strat. Pickup height was extremely close. They fit, but Barely… Again due to the input on the bottom of the pickup. I do think their pots are smaller, fitment there hasn’t been an issue… With regards to single coil GFS redactives… I’ll definitely do a video at some point when I have a budget strat to mod, probably will be sooner rather than later 🤘🎸

@@FretboardDiaries The poor fit was in the control cavity. The pickups fit fine. This was within the first month that the pickups came out several years ago. They didn't have the Kwikplug system yet. Back then I was terrified to try modding any guitar - especially after the guitar techs had so much difficulty! Now I have some experience and I was inspired by your Lil Killers install video! Thanks for the reply!

Right on man, thanks for the kind words… So, as I received my guitar, the bridge was not floating, as it only really moved one way. But these bridges can be adjusted to float, I just didn’t both either mine. Floating bridges typically move up and down with ease

@@FretboardDiaries Thanks man! but would you say it goes out of tune easily if say you do a dive bomb?

Honestly one of the best budget Metal guitars available… The longer I’ve had this guitar, the move I love it. Hard to beat for the money 🤘🎸

@@FretboardDiaries yeah for the price ,they seem allright, (as a Swede) I like Ola and support him and also watch his channel. Sure, if you want one as a "above beginner" player, one would mayhaps upgrade some stuff..but im actually bethinking to get one, for multiple reasons xP

@ralphieralph9176 Honestly, I’m not sponsored by them, or have any affiliation, but this guitar has become one of my favorite metal rhythm guitars to jam on. It’s simple, basic, with great tone and overall has a good fit and finish at a budget price. I plan on getting the Explorer shape soon, simply because I love this one so much…

@@charleswind8298 I keep hearing about them… Definitely coming soon 🤘🎸

Thank you! And thanks for your support 🤘🎸

@@robertclarkguitar This issue isn’t unheard of, particularly with budget guitar bridges, although typically, Wilkinson is better than that. That said, typically sanding or filing the area can fix it, hopefully you can get it resolved.

Haha it does have a kind of retro 80’s electronics look to it…

What’s good man! Hope all is well! 🤘🎸

@@FretboardDiaries Yeah, bro. Got it goin on. Gear shopping, man. Workin on a semi-circular pedalboard for 30-ish pedals. Don't know if it'll work out. I gotta get a consult with a metals engineer I used to know. Or it all bites the dust rotflmao! Smoke in a bottle, dude. Smoke in a bottle.

@@wasteddude9387 I took my entire board apart… I’m gonna make something myself but simplify it down, too many pedals made it too heavy. So we’ll see, it’s pretty far down on the project chart 😂

​. Dude.... uh, no offense, but you play magnitudes better than I thought. You couldn't do some of that unless you been playin for a while.

@ Haha thanks man… I’m actually really out of playing shape, so I’m gonna work on a practice schedule soon. But yeah, I’ve been playing 30 years… I really appreciate the kind words as always 🤘🎸

Sounds pretty awesome man... Love a good custom tele... Definitely report back and let us know how the install goes

Thanks Paul!

It’s funny, I find myself playing this guitar more and more… I may do a setup vid at some point, and replace the humbucker

Indeed, I’ve had a blast with this little thing… It’s been great sitting around the fire pit… In fact, it’s caused me to think about maybe doing a live stream around the fire pit… 😂

🤨…..🤔…. This could be trouble 🤣

Right on, thank you! 🤘🎸

You'll likely have to swap the plugs... It only came with supplied Metric, so you'd have to use those.
