I’ve really enjoyed the Ibanez around the fire pit in the evenings. Exactly what I was looking for. I’ve seen a few guys doing vids on Jet Guitars, they seem to be really well built. Definitely in the Queue… 😂
Yeah, thanks. You’re pretty solid. My favorite budget brand is “WestCreek”. I bought an offset SG style, a Telecaster style, an Explorer style, and a Les Paul style, guitar in the space of a couple months. I have a friend who owns five or six. We both bought from the first run inventory. I ran into a bunch of guys on some channel I forgot. Nobody had only one. The guys that I heard about all had around three to five. WestCreek also makes a FlyingV style, a 333 style, a 12 string / 6 string doubleneck, etc. They sell in Amazon. My friend took the Les Paul style “Helios” to three paying gigs over one weekend. Out of the freaking box, put new strings on it. He must have re-intonated or SOMETHING, but I just don’t recall him doing shit. And he might have played one set on his usual high end guitar. But I think he was just freaking out and wanted to compare them to be sure he was hearing right. I know he played the rest of his gigs on the WestCreek Helios. WestCreek heard about it - gave his money back with a thank you. This might have been a sales pitch, except for one thing. It’s all true. That company is going to stomp on the terra. I think the few guys who got that inevitable faulty guitar should not give up, they oughtta know that the company is there for them. But hey, you don’t know me. Yet. I subscribed just today. I enjoyed the video. You asked if we had recommendations. Me? Yeah. WestCreek.
Right on man! I’ve seen Westcreek on Amazon I think, I’m digging the Explorer shape as that’s my favorite body style (although Tele’s are catching up) I’ve heard good things about them as well. I really appreciate the comment and the kind words, meeting and interacting with guitar players like yourself from all over the world has been one of the most rewarding aspects of UA-cam! Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for watching 🤘🎸
I think I've left this very comment on one of your videos before, but ... I really need to finally buy a Harley Benton. That Fusion T looks and sounds great!
There’s just something about that guitar that I love… 🤷♂️… The neck, stainless frets, and Wilkinson Trem really make it stand out. You won’t be disappointed
Thank you for the kind words… 🤘🎸 I’ve been tied up with sponsored projects recently but I’m finishing the last one this week. After that, I’m gonna make some Metallica lesson vids just so I can play my S in them … That guitar is just fun to play 🤘
@@FretboardDiaries I'll keep an eye out for them! My current amp is a marshall fx15 and its ok but it has a LOT of bass so the S will hopefully balance it out until I can afford a proper effects amp lol i love metallica, manowar and maiden so im always keen for new tutorials 👍🤘
@@chrisdaykin3899 I definitely want to check out some Firefly guitars, it’s going to happen at some point for sure, I’ve just heard too many good things about them
First off, appreciate the comment... With Regards to the Fesley FST350, I'm going to be honest and tell you, that I absolutely LOVE the guitar, but at the same time, it doesn't compare to the Fusion III... I have a Fusion-T (as you saw in the video), and it's literally one of my favorite guitars to play. That said, the Fesley is an awesome guitar in the sense that the neck feels great and the guitar has good bones. In my opinion, if you're looking for a guitar to mod and do little fretwork to, the Fesley has fantastic bones and a great neck that has the type of feel that I love. If you're looking for something that mimics the Fusion III, it doesn't. Depending on which Fusion model, Fesley doesn't have Stainless frets, and the Fesley frets needed a little filing (there's a vid in my channel on it). The Single coil pickups in the Fesley had a little too much noise for my liking, but I'm planning on modding the guitar out because I absolutely LOVE the feel of the guitar. Ultimately, if you're looking for a Fusion III clone, Fesley may not be it, UNLESS, you're willing to do a little fret work and you're looking to mod it. To be fair to Fesley, it's considerably cheaper than the Fusion III. So you could buy a Fesley, do a little fret clean up, drop some Guitarfetish pickups in it, and have a killer guitar. One more thing, in the spirit of complete transparency, I am sponsored by Fesley. They have sent me two guitars, the FST350 being one of them. The FLP350 being the other. In my opinion, the FLP had much better pickups, equivalent fretwork, and great bones. Both are great modding platforms and great beginner guitars, but I always want to be transparent and let folks know that they did send me a few guitars. If anything, the fact that they support small creators is AWESOME!!! That said, I still tell it like it is, and the Fusion III is a better overall guitar, but also, more money.... Hope that helps... Thanks for watching!

Artist Guitars from Australia is a brand to check out.
