Well...if you know what you're buying and don't mind the work, this is an awesome mod platform. Pickup swap, bridge swap, tuner swap, now somewhere sub $300, and you have a gig machine that you can "oops" and not cry over. Mine now plays awesome. What's in a name brand if it sounds like it's supposed to without spending $4000? Do you play to look good or do you play to sound good? I think that's what it comes down too. I just wanna play. That being said, it IS a brick. Heaviest Tele I have. NOT a beginner guitar, as the setup requirements require a good level of "get right" knowledge.
Exactly! I don't gig out much, or at all anymore; but THIS will sound cooler at a camp night with my Donner battery powered amp! I've REALLY enjoyed jamming on it since I got it. I think that the harder/heavier wood is also what might be helping the great sustain! Thanks for watching!
@Utoobsteak it was an EASY fix, but they will DEFINITELY be replaced. 😆 I have honestly played on this guitar every day since I got it, and I absolutely LOVE the feel of it and the tones that I get out of it! I own 2 PRS SEs, and love them, but I don't play them as much as this one! Although.... my 24 Custom Floyd has really been calling my name lately. Curiously... now that I think about it 🤔 the GEARIT is as heavy as the PRS... I have no idea what wood is supposed to be in my PRS.
great insights on a potential buy. i was gonna grab one, but now i'm not so sure
I still love mine, especially for the price. If you don't know how to do some maintenance or setup stuff though, it might not be worth it.

@@eclipsetheraindanbutler2478 yeah no doubt, and the neck profile is pretty good too. The ladies dig my surf green ax!
I literally laughed out loud when you panned over the bridge saddles🤣
