    Once in a great while, a cheaply-built guitar will surprise me with good tone and intonation, as did a Japanese nylon-string guitar I bought a few years ago did. $150 with hard case, and it actually sounded good! I was shocked! However, I think that particular guitar was an outlier, and it doesn't change the old adage that you get what you pay for.

    Similar situation. I bought an Indio Strat style from Monoprice before Christmas, after watching so many great reviews on UA-cam. I fix guitars as a hobby, so I figured after a little sprucing it’d be a nice holiday gift. BOY WAS I WRONG. No matter what I did, no matter what I modified, no matter what I raised, lowered, cranked, filed, or sanded, the guitar remained unplayable. It buzzed and fretted-out all up and down the neck. It wouldn’t intonate. It was absolute garbage. I sent it back. And on top of all that, the mini amp shorted out two days later. I will never buy from them again.

    Thanks for posting this. Too many people post videos raving about how good their budget, bottom-spec guitars are, but the reality is that they are always, without exception, a waste of money. They may look nice, but they are no better than the Woolies guitars that were available in the 1970s. Anyone reading this, if you're about to buy a guitar for your child, go to a music shop, and expect to spend £200-£300 to get a decent starter instrument. And take someone with you who knows how to check a guitar's features and setup.

      My first electric was a $70 glarry and apart from needing intonated and the neck action adjusted it actually is a good guitar, the pickups could be a little hotter, but it's comparable in sound to an Ibanez mikro which costs twice as much new, it definitely wasn't a waste of money

Electronics were junk and the pickups terrible. Part of the plan as expected. I had a set of Alnico 5 Humbuckers in the late 50's style on hand for several years. They needed something to do. I put USA style electronics in it and got a Pearl White pic guard. I had to buy a Tele Humbucker bridge for a whopping $20.00 with stainless saddles. Rout the body for the Humbucker and rework the neck. Boom great guitar under $150.00 and it was fun to do on cold winter days.

It is one of the easiest playing guitars I have, beating out guitars costing 4X as much. The pickups were not in the range I like and looked to be ceramic. So I got some good cheap PU's. It sounds great. The "B" tuner is the worst, go figure.

    With it buzzing on open strings, the neck has backbow, the strings are hitting one of the pickups, or It could be that the piano pillow slots are cut too deep. If not, then a tweak of the truss rod just may make it playable. It does seem to have some pretty crappy tuning machines.

      I recently bought a glary I think it's a ggs 101? Just 335 clone. I guess I got a good one because the body and neck are quite nice The Binding is close to perfect. And the only thing I can criticize about it is every place a hole was drilled it was somewhat cockeyed. I guess I just do it offhand with a drill. These are easily fixed with the drill press. I have to reposition the neck pickup because it was not properly placed had to re drill holes. I painted the pickup Pockets with the appropriate paint and subsequently replaced everything on the guitar accept the body and neck. I replace the tuners and Bridge with a locking Bridge and locking tuners just because I found some inexpensive that look good. All to replace the pickguard bracket with the adjustable type locking strap pins and installed Epiphone Hardware and Pickups electronics and pickup came kind of as a set. Epiphone Pro classic alnico 5. Maybe shouldn't say this but also refinishing headstock with the Gibson logo Just for kicks. Also plain black knobs with no numbers. My first attempt at working on a 335 style guitar and I doubt I'll do another one. Real pain in the backside for the electronics but for an old man with cancer and neuropathy who can't hardly play anymore it was something to do. The Finish was absolutely beautiful and a little Turtle Wax goes a long way. Friends ask where an old man on Social Security got $4,000 for a Gibson ES-335. The average weekend bar band musician wouldn't know the difference forgot to mention a little bit of fretwork. This guitar was totally playable and presentable out-of-the-box but I had a plan to do this so I just went ahead and did it. Very happy with end result and makes it very nice addition to my collection which now to the novice includes a Gibson ES-335 LOL. I own 10 guitars a varying quality levels starting with a Kramer 450g aluminum neck American Strat Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro and a few other offshoot with varying levels of customization. Also a strat Style mahogany neck and body that I put together from there a real Beauty to look at Tru oil finish hand-rubbed. Some of the things these reviewers in general Pick-A-Part are things that prior to the internet wouldn't even be known to exist as a condition. We just picked them up and play them if they sounded good and look good and played good. Didn't mean to be so long-winded but at 64 still laying in bed waiting for the pain meds to kick in what else do I have to do. Okay I'm out God bless and keep on picking

    About 6 years ago, I bought a full sized, though shallow bodied, Strat copy from Kmart for $29 AUD. It came with a small battery powered amp. Body was plywood. Neck was surprisingly comfortable and straight with decent fretwork and no sprout. Tuners were garbage. Electronics were cheapest of the cheap ceramic pickups.

    maybe you should try soloking guitar, made in china but they use high quality parts, such as CTS potensio, Stainless Steel Fret, quater shawn neck maple, there are also roasted maple neck, alder body, etc. In Indonesia, soloking guitar is viral nowadays.

    Once I got a copy Strat from Thomann/Germany (inhouse brand: Harley Benton), at a cost of 79€.
    As an average guitar player and comparing to my PRS and Hagström guitars, this guitar was far better than expected. Only had to change the saddle, was 1mm too low for my needs. Else the guitar was decent fabricated and finished, no flaws. Electric parts worked reliable. Nothing to argue about playability.
    Sound was below average, but for beginner/practising/combined with low cost practise amp/speaker absolutely sufficient.

    Adjusting the action and sanding down the frets might make it acceptable for a beginner but yeah this is pretty poor quality. Especially for a 3 speed model. I have a looper pedal from amoon (I think it's similar to the Donner looper pedal and I've had only good experiences with Donner) and it's pretty great. For a full time player guitar I'd go up a few bucks to an IYV, Donner or just go Squier/Epiphone. The quality control at least would be better than this.

    It seems bad but just needs a proper setup, raise the saddles a half turn of the allen key, file down the fret ends and polish them and should be good to go!

  • @alfredogiwisch2871
    @alfredogiwisch2871 Рік тому

    Is very important first to adjust the height of the strings on the bridge with the allen key to fix the ringing on strings, because from factory the setup is not accurate at all. Please do that.

    My nephew bought the cheapest on Amazon (different guitar) for his son, awhile back. The experience was the same, but I fixed it. I have all the stuff to do that, about $200usd worth of tools. If anyone had asked me to, I would've changed the tuners. It was playable, though.

    • @ratatatuff
      @ratatatuff Рік тому +1

      It's great if you can fix it on your own, most people can't do that. I play for quite some time now but can't do more than a basic setup. I guess if the guitar at least stays in tune for some time you're nephew's son can at least learn to play and then move on to a better guitar.

      If you play guitar you should be able to do your own setup as it's not rocket science and is very easy to do. Why people would pay money for a setup is beyond me. Just lean to do it yourself and you will be better for it. You will need to purchase a few things but none of it is very expensive.

  • @jimcamp2423
    @jimcamp2423 Рік тому +1

    I usually give the sub $ 100 guitars a quick & dirty setup to get it playable when it's that bad to see some potential. I think $ 139.99 and it would go back as a disappointment. Tighten screws to make sure that's not an issue, tighten the tuning pegs for those poor QC passes. Loosen the truss rod to see if the neck moves like it should & then adjust it to my preferences for relief. Jagged frets might be an issue, but I leave those alone for anything that appears to be a sales return & allowance back to Amazon. Gritty frets, that's not bothering me, that should clean up with a polish. This definitely wasn't a Squier Bullet level build obviously. This one was a fail, but that might just be the hit & miss of a $ 100 guitar that can be made to play quite well. Once the truss rod is right, you'll know the nut cut is good or bad. I can work with most anything that is aligned for bridge placement, pickup pole & string location, neck pocket & nut slot depth. If it needs a neck pocket/heel shim, it should go back for anyone that has no carpentry skills. I tend to like a challenge of making something that another calls a turd & make it better. Synthetic fretboards are what we're probably all going to see eventually to save the planet Earth & trees as the population spirals out of control for guitars that are gifted to those that most likely quit when the first high E string breaks.
    Just me, any guitar that I tune. I do the bass side first, those 3 are thick wound strings. The Treble side is treated as a set of 3 strings, all 6 get tuned a full step , then a 1/2 step, then to standard E with new strings. that distributes the load over the entire set for what anyone would play a guitar in tune as. And my set up will be for the lowest alternate tune, be it a full step down, live with the difference if I ever go to Standard E. In general Drop D or Double Drop D is a good setup starting point. The half & full step works fine too for those that play predominantly/exclusively in those alternate tuning preferences. Not criticizing your tuning method, just that a beginner may want to avoid string breakage cranking a full load on the High E for tension when the rest of the set of strings is floppy loose several steps below any playable alternate tuning.

      No better nor worse than anyone else. A good set up quite often cures even the crappiest of guitars. I can't expect a $ 140 guitar to be set up to my preferences. Can I expect the strings to be stretched if the rest of the guitar is flawed out of the box & across the board ?

    I have seen other review about this guitar and the result turn out that the guitar was ok after a set up. So it is probably a variable quality for that brand.

  • @Charlleyw
    @Charlleyw Рік тому +1

    It's not about being able to set up an instrument. It's about the idea that a respectable company makes sure that their instruments are playable before shipping them out. When youy buy ANY instrument, piano, guitar, violin, trumpet, dulcimer, whatever, you rightfully expect it to WORK. You should be able to expect it to be playable. The hours of work a skilled person puts into a setup are worth something. So the "bargain" guitar actually costs more if you have to put X number of hours into repairing it out of the box, assuming that your time is worth something to you.
