I truly appreciate your stopping in to the channel and the kind comments. I understand that “stuff happens” and really do appreciate the upfront and direct response for all to see here!

@@FesleyMusic
My pleasure, and I appreciate your reaching out to me and the channel!! Much thanks…🙏🎸👍
That is the ffss so I’m guessing it means stainless steel and did you figure out what the problem is with the pickup’s. I have considered buying a guitar like this but I am worried that I might not care for it so I hope you can fix it and give us a better review on the issue and sound. Have you ever owned or had a 3 humbucker guitar in your presence?
@@MichaelLHill-fd3kw
I am a bit confused here…this is the review for the FLP-350. Nothing wrong with the pickups…they sound great!! Not sure what you are referring to here Michael…🤔
Thanks, Jimmy. I just got it open after watching another video. It's not getting any power. Oh well, as you said, it would cost too much to take it to a tech. It's a shame, the wiring looks so clean and professional. Luckily, I got it for free from a friend in my band.
Fuse? Could be as simple as a fuse if not getting any power…
He'll get ya Jimmy!!!!Great review!!!!I'm gonna get me one in the sunburst.I've been eyeing this guitar for quite awhile.You convinced me!Thanks for another Great review!!!
Hi Stephen!! Thanks so much man…glad you enjoyed it. Congrats on that sunburst!! That finish looks great as well..enjoy it and thanks for stopping into the channel and sharing!! 🎸👍
lovely energy, lovely studio, and lovely insight into your technique as you showcase this beautiful piece. looking forward to spending more time on your channel sir!
gosh that black polish is just so pretty
Hi woegarden! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. So glad to hear you enjoyed it! This Fesley is lovely! Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and look forward to seeing you around more! Much thanks…🎸👍
Agreed!! Thanks so much!!
Sounded good from here. I might get one just to mess around with.
Hi Rob…surprisingly nice playing/sounding/looking fiddle especially considering the price point. Thanks so much for stopping in…nice to see ya on the channel! 🎸👍
@@JimmyStewart1 Maybe review a bass some day? I only play part time guitar but my Tele could use a sister.
I, too, am a huge fan of the matte black finish on guitars. This would look so good next to my Firefly Strat-style guitar. Very good demo, as always. Given the price, after the discounts, I had to order one for myself. I'll let you know about the neck cracks when it arrives.
Hi MB…just gotta love the looks of this…and it plays/sounds very good as well! Congrats man and hope you enjoy it!! I am hoping 🤞🤞no issues and mine was just a fluke…🎸👍
Thank you for supporting Fesley! We will definitely take responsibility for the Fesley guitar you receive! Please rest assured.😊🙏
@@FesleyMusic
This is outstanding!! 🙏👍
@@JimmyStewart1 I actually cancelled my original order from Amazon after seeing another video with the neck cracks almost exactly as you showed. I have reconsidered and reordered after seeing the replies from the good people at FesleyMusic, so I am eager to check this one out.
@@madbenjamin9613
I always give the benefit of the doubt to any manufacturer…I am sure they are at least on top of it and aware as per their reply’s here and to me! Congrats MB and enjoy it! 🎸👍
Beautiful Friday evening (our time) dear Jimmy, the new guitar looks very good, the matte finish is nice, the weight is absolutely OK. I am no longer inclined to heavy guitars, I even use special straps for my back, suitable even for a bass guitar. The gig bag looks like a quality piece, too bad about the defect on the neck. Techwood is cool, I have it on an Aria type LP for about $400. It is quite low maintenance to some extent. The body looks very comfortable, I like the shape. The audio demo sounds very good. I'm looking forward to the next video and I wish you a nice weekend (it's already spring, almost summer weather here +- 25 degrees Celsius). Greetings from the Czech Republic. Pavel CZ.👍👍👍🎸
Hi Pavel!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Yes, the Techwood fingerboard (my 1st) really does feel good. The guitar is very comfortable and playable. I like it a lot! I wish you and yours a wonderful weekend as well and all my best!! Thanks so very much for stopping in…always a pleasure to have our biggest fan from the Czech Republic stop into the channel!! 🙏👍
Like the look and the colors available. Let's hope the neck cracks aren't a design flaw. Btw, I picked up a used lefty Godin Exit 22S that's a 2009 model barely used by an old fella. Amazing Godin gig bag came with it for $350 CAD or about $255 US.
BTW, Odin looking really good, the camera hog!
Hi Cal B….thanks so much for stopping in and watching. I feel like the neck was just a fluke (hope) 🤞
Godin’s are great guitars. I love my ole’ A6….truly appreciate your stopping in my 🇨🇦 friend….congrats on your Godin! 🎸👍

Mr. Odin appreciates it…
This guitar is indeed a handsome design, despite the QC issues. I agree, it might not be Fesley’s fault, but I can’t be 100% sure either, as I’ve seen several reports of experiences consistent with yours out there, so it’s clearly NOT an isolated incident, and until I see confirmation of good ones or PROOF that Fesley has corrected the issue, I will stick to IYV and Firefly. Yes, this one is indeed the perfect “eclipse guitar” with those unique fret markers! With those extra contours on the back and the reduced body thickness, I actually think this guitar looks more like a clone of the ESP Eclipse than of the Les Paul, although the ESP Eclipse itself is obviously a derivative of the Les Paul, too. I know some Gibson fans might call the bolt-on neck sacrilege, but personally, it wouldn’t bother me. I’ve kind of come to the conclusion that bolt-on neck joints are often stronger than set necks made with dovetail joints, or even many with mortise and tenon joints-take the Gibson SG, for example, which is absolutely NOTORIOUS for weakness in the neck joint, especially in its early years (which are also some of the most collectible for some strange reason). Set necks do have the potential for greater elegance and upper fret access, but then again, many bolt-on neck designs nowadays (like Music Man) have very elegant contours with good upper fret access, and likewise, many set necks, including the Les Paul itself, are just as blocky as bolt-ons! Sustain? Some of the longest sustaining guitars are actually bolt-ons!
Well said as usual PG! Appreciate your stopping in and sharing your thoughts not only on the design, but the long standing myths between the differences between set neck and bolt on necks in general. My thanks…🎸👍
@@JimmyStewart1 Absolutely! Some truly fine examples of both kinds of neck joints can be found out there. Personally, I no longer have a preference for one over the other, and I like my set neck guitars just as much as my bolt-on guitars. I don’t have any neck-through guitars yet though, mostly because in addition to being rarer than the other 2 methods, neck-through guitars often seem to be heavy like a Les Paul, especially if the neck/middle body portion is made of a heavy wood like maple. Interestingly, Les Paul’s original “The Log” guitar that he designed himself was really a neck-through design, with removable “wings.” It weighed like 13 lbs too, if I remember right. Les Paul must’ve been a glutton for punishment!
@32:00 AMAZING way to go KING 👑
🤣
Thanks so much for stopping in man…🎸👍
@@JimmyStewart1 Thanks for all the informative videos delivered with STYLE! Your channel is a real service Jimmy, thanks again for all you do
I like the Spanish of the
“El Nico” pickups.
😎😎
Hi Chance…thanks so much for watching…even is Spanish!! 🎸👍
Jimmy Fogerty, they're gonna hammer you 🔨!!! 😅😅😅
That geetar sure is a might purdy, and them thar humbuckers sound mighty fine, with or without some snot on 'em.
Imma hopin' that it's just a crick in the neck and not be busted up. Imma gonna say that when yuz put 9's on it, you'll know. That's the bayou in me talking...😂
🤣
Thanks so much Jorge…I figured if anyone would understand and be forgiving about using just a “bit” of a song…it would be J.F.
Always appreciate your stopping in and the support brother…🙏👍
Thanks for the review. Do you plan to review the $99 RJ Guitars Skycasters (with ball-end stainless steel frets and a bone nut) when they show up on Amazon? It also comes I'm told with a gig bag, strap, cord and with fewer calories too!
Hi Louis…😂 You never know…I have learned to never say never…perhaps the future has a RJ Skycaster with my name on it?
Truly appreciate your stopping in my friend…🎸👍
Great work as always, Jimmy. Question: How do you think Fesley compares with Monoprice (which I already know I like)? Same league? A cut above? Curious to hear your thoughts. Be well...
Hi cdavidlake2…Thanks so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! That’s a good question…something I should delve into a bit more perhaps. As you know I have a number of Monoprice guitars and believe they are a great value. Like them a lot..this is only my 2nd Fesley, so hard to make a comprehensive comparison but I feel they are also a very good value. The styles are of course different, but very similar as far as overall build. I will need to do a more thorough look at them both in the future…thanks so much for stopping into the channel and sharing your thoughts!! 🎸👍
Hi Jimmy. Appreciate your efforts/reviews but buyer beware on this one. Same model guitar was sent to another UA-camr and had the same crack in the neck. I hate to be a negative Nancy but I can't sit quietly and must warn others that aren't aware of this. See ya on the next video ✌️
Hi David..thanks so much for watching and commenting. Wow…now that is a bit concerning. Perhaps it is something Fesley needs to dig into further…
Appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing. The guitar is a looker and player though…unfortunate for sure. 🎸👍
Thank you very much for your interest in Fesley. We take responsibility for every Fesley guitar. Thank you for your reminder. We will definitely take it seriously and bring great service to every Fesley customer.🙏🎸
nice one brother!
hopefully thats just a "finish check" and not a crack....keep an eye on it tho...
im sure you have connections if a neck repair is needed down the track...
Hi Mike…thanks so much for stopping in. Yeah, will keep an eye on it!!
Much thanks!! 🎸👍
@@JimmyStewart1 ya i forgot to mention this one kinda looks like the westcreek helios model...same configuration....
@@birdman316
Yep!! Thanks man…
That guitar looks and sounds great Jimmy. I wish that they made one with the same pups and color in a tele style. I have enough LP style guitars. Tele style guitars are my favorite. I may order a GearIT GTL-200 Shoreline for $100 + 10% off, off of Amazon. For $90 I'm thinking why not give it shot. Have you heard anything positive or negative about these? I love your honest reviews & have bought a few guitars based off of your videos. Again thank you for all that you do and have a great weekend my friend!
Hi Tim…thanks so much for watching and commenting. I get the whole “Tele” thing…I like them too! This however, actually plays similar to a Tele (more so than a LP) in my opinion. Must be the neck feel and the fact that it’s a bolt on and the bonus of body contouring. I have heard good/bad on the GearIT…mostly good for the price point. So glad you are enjoying the channel, as it’s always nice to see you stop in! Much thanks….🎸👍
@@JimmyStewart1 Thanks for the reply Jimmy. Hmm... I may have to skip the GearIT and go for the The Fesley FLP-350. Sounds like a wise choice. Again thank you for guiding me into the right direction!
@@TimMarcus00
It’s a bit unique in its own right…I think you would enjoy it! Either way, keep pickin’ my friend!! 🎸👍
Nice 🤘 😊
Thanks so much papa…always appreciate your stopping by!! 🎸👍
It looks more like an ESP Eclipse than an LP.
I have a MKI HB SC-Custom that is also shaped like an Eclipse, I fitted Fluence active pickups to it and Routed out a battery compartment for it.
For some reason the Fesley name doesn't sit well with me and so to be reminded of it all over the guitar would drive me mad
Hi Andrew….thanks so much for watching and commenting. I agree…looks more like a ESP….sounds like you got yours setup nicely! Congrats…
Names….don’t bother me. If it plays well and sounds good (looks are certainly objective) then it’s all good! Thanks so much for stopping into the channel. 🎸👍
That is a popular item. On a side note, I bought a Fesley 12 string because I never had one before. Very nice sounds of a 12 string. Have you ever had one??
Hi Ralley145… Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I have a couple 12 strings…acoustic & electric but have not tried the Fesley…congrats on yours and enjoy it! Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing. Perhaps some day I will get the chance…much thanks! 🎸👍
Hi Jimmy, I have a Monoprice amp just like the one you have sitting on the stool. Unfortunately, it stopped working. Do you have any idea what might be wrong with it? I replaced the tubes and still no sound.
Hi Greg…thanks for stopping into the channel. Hmmm…sorry to hear about your amp!! I guess the 1st question is, are you getting power? If you have power and replaced the tubes already, then without actually testing it it would be hard to tell what the issue is…sorry man. I can tell you that bringing it into a tech to troubleshoot may end up costing as much as it would to replace it…of course your mileage may vary!
Nice guitar but what does the ss stand for. Great job on this guitar and sound. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hi Michael…thanks so much for watching and commenting! The “SS”?? Not sure I understand what the question is pertaining to this guitar.
Usually, SS will refer to stainless steel or single coil single coil pup configuration and neither apply to this guitar…?? 🤔
I had both guitars 🎸 on my mind when I asked this question but I got it.
@@MichaelLHill-fd3kw
Gotcha…
Hi there Jimmy , they have An amazing service , they will replace it or maybe , cause it’s bolt on send a replacement of the hole part that fesley company has a nice custom service , me as a customs or signature investor but also guitar player I’ve seen issues like that in expensive guitars , as they say S.. ..t happens , I think that’s an issue of transportation, but they will replace if you contact them .
They answer better than some “great “ brands
Nice service , I got one for traveling or gigs , cause I would not travel far or for gigs with a 5 or 10 thousand guitar ,
Hope you can solve it , blessings for you .
Fesley has been great and have already contacted me when I did the initial review and already sent me a replacement!! I will be updating with this info once I get back to the studio later this week. Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing!! Much thanks…🎸👍
Fesley is missing out , Amazon does not ship these to Australia as at 19/07/2024 WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@000fisherman
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I didn’t realize that they don’t ship to Australia. Could be some type of logistics thing, or just too expensive. Shame, as they are quite nice, especially for the $$…truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing. Perhaps at some point in the future? 🤞🤞
I couldn't see a fuse. Unless fuses look different these days.
It’s mounted on the circuit board…you would have to pull the board down to access (I think)
I do not think it's the post office, I bought a festley about a month ago, the pick-ups were not screwed in all the way, and I could not fix it. Festleys QC is getting really bad. I will not buy another because of it.
Hi overcome…thanks so much for watching and commenting. Sorry to hear about your Fesley. The company certainly seems committed to quality QC should anyone have an issue. Did you contact them? Did you return to Amazon for exchange? Things do happen…I always give any manufacturer the benefit of the doubt and allow them the opportunity to make things right when possible. Truly appreciate your stopping in and sharing….🎸👍
Those guitars are junk. You sold your soul to them
@@13druber
Ha!! They (Fesley) came to me my friend. Nobody sold anything to anybody. Just a honest review “right out of the box” like I do all my reviews. It’s a “budget” guitar that actually plays and sounds more than the price point would lead you to believe. Thanks for stopping in…🎸👍
