    I dig it, $120 sounds like a good mod project platform, swapping the neck out was a good choice, that's what I would have done for sure, Ibanez does the truss rod like that on all their guitars now, I'm not sure when Ibanez first started doing it but it is fairly new, mine is a 2022 and it has that cover.

    I got a Bullfighter acoustic a little before Christmas for $120 from Amazon. It is basically the same shape as a Takamine jumbo. The whole body is made out of some Zebra wood variant with a dark brown stain. Beautiful grain and actually has a very warm, but crisp sound. The neck is Nato or some such with a rosewood fretboard. It also has abalone binding and rosette as well as fretboard inlays and headstock logo. It came perfectly playable right out of the box with decent strings and tuners. Have not even had to adjust anything yet. It came with a decent gig bag and a completely useless headstock tuner, along with some very decent celluloid mother of toilet seat picks. Overall, I am very pleased even though my Jasmine jumbo gets more playing time. $89 Amazon deal that I just love. Nato neck back and sides with spruce top, all with an amazing satin finish.

    I have grown to like this style better, the more I see and hear it. I wouldn’t mind a Tele body with the comfort cut this one has. But the bridge could be hardtail and string through and that layout with Cathy’s pickups HSH, and the Tele style front rout for full size pots and push pull knobs or a 5 way switch to mix the pickups. And the good cloth wiring and full size pots. The replacement neck is money! I don’t like shark tooth inlays either. But that would be perfect to me. I like the Strat offset and belly cuts, but I hit my hand on the knobs , and my Tele ashtray, I hit the top and bottom. I’d love to clean up the bridge and the string through on mine has a stability of its own. The push pulls or a 5,way switch would just be great. And if course the 7.25 U neck isn’t for everyone, but my left hand loves it! Bend it like a bandit! lol.

    Obviously I haven't played that neck and Sean is much more expert at analysis of guitars than me. But, I wonder if the neck shape would disqualify the guitar as an intro level instrument? I, for one, prefer the "C" shape to the shredder neck. Could be the company is offering a hybrid of sorts. Unless the neck was contributing to the lack of tuning stability, it may have worked as a first or backup guitar.

    It’s too bad this Bullfighter wasn’t as good as the first two. I usually see great reviews on other channels that buy their own stuff too. However, there’s always gonna be a dud in the bunch . . . or occasional boneheads at the factory who aren’t doing their job because summertime is here and they’re dreaming about the beach, lol. Or like in the case of Fesley, some models may be killer while one certain other model was an embarrassment to society for months on end until they finally (supposedly) addressed it, lol. 😂😂😂
    Anyway, the new neck is fun - and with LumenLays?! It’s nice Bullfighter used Alnico magnets in the pickups. You gave this guitar some new life. It seems like Bullfighter watches many of the videos posted on their guitars, so maybe they’ll be listening to your experience and check into what may have happened that made this guitar not as good as most of their other ones.
