Neck-Through STRATS With A BOLT ON PRICE! (my favorite classic strat style guitar...)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 січ 2023
- This guitar reminds me of some kind of high end custom shop Charvel, but without the custom shop price. At around $550 these neck-through strat style guitars from one of my favorite brands (AIO) are insanely cool. They had many different versions of these... different woods, pickup configurations and even a Floyd Rose version and left handed models!

I'd been searching for a Fernandes MA-55 (Matsumou MIJ--late '70s)...but they're scarce and pricey (especially factoring-in needed upgrades). I then searched "S-style Guitar, neck-through, no pickguard"...and Yr. Vid was @ the top of the list! In short, this AIO S2 is a "reboot" of that MA-55 with ALL of the needed upgrades INCLUDED...for about 1/3rd the price!! Talk about a NO BRAINER!! Mine is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Thanks for the "Lead"!! 😄
Wow. Beautiful guitar. Best Christmas ever. I got my Grandson his first guitar. I showed him many guitars Strats, Single cuts, and SG style. He chose a black HSS Squire Strat Pack because it had everything in the pack. He has taken his first step on a lifelong journey. He is a subscriber to your channel Max. We talk about the guitars after every episode. Thanks for the information.
That's the dream right there. Way to go Grandpa. And yes best grandpa ever!
Sgt. Grinches heart grew 3x...and he bought he grandson a guitar! Lol its never been a better time to learn. All the info is so readily available and budget guitars are so nice now!
Beautiful guitar! I like strats but I hate the three knob configuration where the volume is right up next to the pickup. Always bug the hell out of me. That guitar I would definitely want to buy if I wanted a strat style guitar. And just the high quality and beautiful Woods that they used to create those guitars makes it, in my opinion it must have strat.
You're a cool ass grandfather ✌️
Love it, Brother G-Pa! I got my granddaughter her first guitar last year (Xmas 2021), a Glarry GST and a little practice amp. Cheap? Oh yeah, but the amp sounds good for its purpose and size, and the guitar plays pretty well (after Grandpa worked on the fret ends and spent an inordinate amount of time fiddling with the bridge and neck, trying to get the action nice & low). The grandvarmint doesn't subscribe to Max's channel, but she knows who he is (she even asks about him sometime, "How's Max?"), and she knows Grandpa and Max both dig guitars. :) Let's hope our grandprogeny are shredding, bluesing, or even playing flamenco long after we make our exits (which should still be thirty or more years away, unless the Universe decides to exercise its creepy sense of humor)! 🤘
I’ve been watching you for couple year now love your work at present I’m working on the sweep picking and being more melodic and combining major and minor scales together you are a true inspiration to me at 63 you’re giving me a new appreciation for shed can’t wait for the new music thanks Max keep up the great work
It’s funny how despite watching you for a while now it’s still so refreshing you stick with the Fender GTX. Solid state, digital effects, combo…. And you are usually on sub $500 guitars and you sound amazing.
Kudos! Affordable or obtainable gear is the way to go.
In my unconfirmed, non critical opinion, Max uses that Amp, because it gets the sound he wants….at the volume he wants, with easy record/live capabilities.
Am I wrong max? You have all these fascinating amps….that we never get to hear.🤣. But No complaints, I eagerly await each video you post! Not everyone has a studio to blast away in, or a stone house….😉
@@jonathanstrand2474 Also might help when comparing guitars if all are using same amp
@@BoltRM absolutely right, & he doesn’t review amps…..does he? I can’t recall one….I’ve bought 3 guitar’s Max, reviewed! and yes, comparing to ALL his guitar videos I’ve watched, I had a pretty good idea what to expect from the guitars in person. Same amp, consistency helps. I’m very happy with all 3, one was spendy….but the other 2
average $375 each, I never figured I’d find a 335 clone this good for that, AIO rules, I’ve got a
tricked out Strat, or this neck through would be really interesting 😳. Laminate necks are usually very stable, especially in neck through form.
I have a Firebird, so I know neck through is a particular sound, sustain is amazing,
I have always been told that a good guitarist can make a crappy guitar sound great, but a crappy guitarist will make a great guitar sound like crap!
Max, once again you prove you’re a man of the people! You’re doing a great service for the guitar community and helping it grow by turning people on to great, affordable guitars! We appreciate you, man!! Some nice licks in this video, too, but no surprise there!
Dude I bought that EART 335 you had on here a couple weeks ago and WOW…came great out of the box, changed strings and it’s perfect, thing rings like a bell, appreciate it
Great to hear! Enjoy it!
I have both an Eart strat and a AIO traditional strat. They are both great!
Beautiful guitar and some great bluesy playing! Thanks for the review.
Great looking instrument and neck through too. Sounds are wonderful. A little fuller than traditional strays.
Thanks and happy 2023!
Beautiful instrument! What I like a lot about AIO guitars is that almost every model has a left handed version. You don’t see that very often. Being a left handed player myself, it gives me a lot of options which is usually not the case.
New Year’s resolution: to release at least 3 singles in 2023.
Keep up the great job, Max! Your channel is very informative and entertaining.
Awesome Max. AIO is listening to their customers. Great stuff coming out.
They didn't forget us lefties. 6 different models 😈🎸👍
Love your videos! I am picking up guitar again, so learning of all sorts is my resolution for 2023.
Great stuff Max, I am floored at what a person can get for such an affordable price! Great in-depth review, and Superb playing! Thx!💥💥👍
Love these. Definitely putting this on my wish list
Thanks and Happy New Year
The one with the dark walnut top is my favorite. Great Review Max! My 2023 Goals are to learn to play my first guitar - it's a beautiful strat style, and to savor the goodness in every waking moment. Happy Shiny New Year Max!
❤️🔥💥❤️🔥💥❤️🔥💥❤️🔥💥❤️🔥💥
Another great demo, review, and video. From your description of the neck, I think I'd really like it. Please keep the videos coming, Max.
I love the AX. Thanks for not playing only metal; your intro demo was well played.
I have a 5 String Neck-Through bass ...it is awesome and really makes the B string ring. Never thought I would see a Neck-Through guitar for under $1K and these are beautiful. Thanks for another great review Max ...I could listen to you play all day long!
New year , new guitar , new inspirations, hahaha I love it. Rock on Max !
Wow wow wow. Enjoyed learning about these new offerings from AIO. These go right up to the top of my list for guitars to purchase ( once I'm awake to afford it). Thanks Max.
South Korea is a hotbed of great luthiers. So great to see another fantastic product come out of that region.
You are the Cutting Edge of Everything Guitar, Max!! Best reviews. A very Happy New Year to you and yours , brother.
This model reminds me of the Aria Pro II RS- and TS-Series from the late 70s and 80s. Thanks for this vid, John
Nice guitar to start 2023 with, thanks Max!
Beautiful! Happy New Year!
Bridge pickup sounds awesome. Nice Pinch Harmonics in the Demo Max.
I love this guitar. Especially the one with the black top. I have always wanted a neck thru guitar and this one sounds great.
As always awesome review, Happy New Year G-Max.
Thank you for sharing this guitar with us! I love the dark walnut version.
WOW! Great demo. These AIO's with the neck-thru-body remind me of the Westone, Aria, Washburn guitars and basses from the late 1970's and early 80's that I once owned and sold like a moron.
Happy New Year, Max! Great first guitar review for 2023! As always, greatly appreciate your excellent guitar reviews throughout the years!
One other quick fun fact. Laminate guitar necks are very strong and very stable. Given that, I’m thinking you’d see less neck movement which means less need for seasonal adjustments.
Happy New year, thanks for all the great content!
I love the layering on the body. It reminds me of those limited edition longboard Strats Fender made a while ago.
Hi Max, as always, I really enjoyed your video. I have been playing guitar since 1987 but only now, in 2023 will I finally be featured on an actual, real album. That's what I am looking forward to in 2023. I wish you and your channel further and continued greatness this year.
That’s a sweet ride you got there.
Your videos make me want a Aio Wolf guitar your tones and playing are sublime Guitar Max
Fantastic guitar. The set up is everything !
Nice one! Looks like a perfect guitar for fusion and pop. Happy New Year Max!
2023 at 53 years old today (thats right its my Birthday woop woop) I am making it a huge goal to go to the gallop guitar school(luthier to tech) a couple hours away here in Michigan! almost 10 years ago in a motorcycle accident I was unable to go back to the career I loved and Life is passing quickly. Thanks as always Max and Happy New year. always enjoy your videos
Wow! What a deal! Thanks for tipping me off to these guitars.
love it that this guy said “consider subscribing” instead of a tired and annoying imperative x
This makes my third purchase from AIO. And over the holidays I purchased the AIO Wolf S1 Floyd Rose Electric Guitar - Quilted Maple (Black Hardware). MAX, thanks for presenting their guitars.
I look forward to all of your videos, Max. In 2023. My big goal is to release a lot more music. I want to spend less time looking at gear videos and more time putting out great tracks lol.
Wow, that's what I was thinking. I always had a problem with strat's because block where the neck bolts onto the body. It's always in the way of playing up in the high register! Thanks for sharing this with us!
These are outrageous guitars - so many options that I like - need to look for a while for the one I like best.
Wow, that is fantastic! Thanks 😄
I love the dark walnut also! "Somebody stop me" HA HA! Happy new year Max!
Nice! I'll have to remember aio next guitar!
Wow!, I received the S2-SSH yesterday and once again, Wow! I highly recommend this guitar! It's beautiful and the value is outstanding! It took a little over a week and I couldn't be happier! If you order one, AIOG will print out a shipping label right away but it won't ship out until after the set up is complete, so be patient, it's coming. Thanks GM, I never would have seen this guitar if it wasn't for your video, and thanks AIOG for making such a wonderful guitar! It's my new favorite!
The body on that is a dead ringer for a Westone Thunder, which were also great guitars, still play mine regular, 42 years old now and still awesome
Just ordered the S2-SSH with the dark walnut top. The price is great and comes with a set up already done, they even email you a set up form with various options so you can chose HOW you want the set up done. I'm really looking forward to receiving this beautiful guitar. Thanks for the vid GM!
What a beautiful looking and sounding axe. For that price you can't beat it.
Amazing guitar for under 1,000...F--king amazing for under 600!!!!!!! And, it is made in the USA in CA!?! Priceless. I have never even heard of them before. THANK YOU!
Soon as I thought I don't need anymore guitars I watched this video. By the end of this year I will have one of these. As always a great review. My goal for 2023 is to work on my 2 handed tapping! P.S. love your lesson packs. Very straightforward without a lot of fluff.
bought some years ago the LP goldtop from AIO, what a great guitar! one of my best. all based on the review you did
max, youre a godsend. normally if someone is a fan of single coil pickups, they have no choice but to buy a fender. or a "third party fender". but this guitar, neck through, 5 piece neck? fender would never. its even unpainted so we can paint it ourselves! ive only dreamed of a guitar like this one
God that a gorgeous guitar Max. They are in the mid range price. But what a beauty! That neck is awesome.....
Couldn't agree more!
Pure matsumoku 70s / 80s styling makes a modern return! Nice.
Happy New Year. I've been thinking about a neck through for awhile. That guitar is beautiful. It just may be my next guitar. I would love to see how you setup your equipment for the tones you get in your videos. Keep up the good work. Love the videos. I
all the best max, happy new year
Best tone u EVER gotten on ur channel. Carlton isque
I'm looking forwarding to learning as many Jazz songs as I can this year.
Tasty playing on that intro piece
I purchased one of these (HSS) last week, a few days after I originally saw this video. This guitar is 40 years in the making for me. When I was a teen, my friend had a "The Paul" Les Paul. I absolutely loved he walnut and of course the typical set neck. I've always been a natural wood guitar finish lover and have always wanted a set neck Strat. A few manufacturers made similar guitars, but not like this. With this review I bought one and will receive my purchase some time mid-week. If it's as good as this review is, I'm sure I'll be very happy! 😁
did you like it?
The guitar isn't bad... for the price. I changed the bridge to a FR rail tail and it sounded great. There are issues with the guitar quality and I had attempted to contact AIO about it, but I never received a reply. Ultimately I moved on from it. Wasn't what I thought it would be.@@SamHoward
Wow Max! I didn't get through all of the tones yet but when you hit that neck pick up, that axe just sings!! Also, didn't Wolf make a through body Strat a while back? I seem to recall Allinone had some on their website....gotta get back to those tones! Thanks Max!
after watching this i visited AIO Guitar and ordered a Wolf, thanks for telling up about this company
You got me! I had to have one. Darn you Guitar Max!!!! 🎸🎸🎸
Yes! Rock on!
Nice! I like it.
I'd like to get back to making videos again. The last few years have been rough, health wise, but things seem to be looking up. In the meantime, I've just been working on building my home studio here and there. So hopefully I'll be back to it soon.
cool guitar i dig the weather channel jam
That is one awesome guitar! I bought the IYV HH version of this about a year ago for my daughter and really have nothing but praise for it - I suspect they are from the same factory. Had I nown AIO was going to do their version I would have been sorely tempted to wait for that one, but like I said, the IYV is a pretty nice guitar.
The floydrose one is gonna be my own personal late xmas gift
Hmmmmmmm...Cybertruck lights went out at 3:45. Nice guitars too. Love that walnut top.
I have both versions of the TC1 (SS & SH); they're both keepers. AIOG has become my first stop when my GAS acts up, which seems to be multiple times a year. Yeah, I know. it's a sickness--but damn, it sure is fun.
I have one neck through electric guitar in my collection, the IYV IP-300 sold on Amazon. These are made in Vietnam. At under $300 dollars it's the cheapest neck through guitar I could find, it also has vine of life inlays extending up the neck. These imports are sometimes hit or miss but the guitar they sent me a couple years ago is excellent in quality and finish.
I got to admit that’s a damn good looking guitar I’m a sucker for ebony fret boards.
Happy New Year! I hope you have a successful 2023. Great videos. IYV does have a neck thru like that but I don't know if it has the Wilkinson tremolo, the ebony fretboard or locking tuners so that may be why the IYV is less expensive. They're probably both made at the same factory in Vietnam maybe with different parts and features.
What a beautiful guitar. I wish they had this in HH. May have to get this and tele to match.
The big bolt on square heel joint belongs in a museum.
I have two Wolfs including the TC1 (which has now moved over the AIO line). These are just great pro level guitars for the bucks. The TC1 is terrific. Just gorgeous, sounds great, and is very playable. These come highly recommended.
Great review, Max. I'll have to check out their website to see if they make an HSS model that's a string through body hard tail.
Happy New Year, John...
I'm a big fan of the Inyen Vina company that makes AIO, Wolf and IYV guitars. Great quality, for not a lot of money.
I took one look at that wood pattern and knew it had to be AIO. Just like the Wolf!
A lovely looking and sounding guitar. Way back when you got your first Wolf I looked to see if I could find one here in the UK. Two models came up, the LP copy with mother of pearl binding and the S1 Ibanez style " wood sandwich". I opted for the latter which has a spalted maple top, ebony fingerboard with m.o.p. vine inlay, Floyd rose style bridge and was fitted with twin hot rail hum bucker style pickups.
It's a stunning looking easy playing guitar but I wasn't too happy with the pup's. I fitted a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Plus pick-up ( only ever fitted to a Fender deluxe roadhouse Strat) in the bridge and a S.D. Saturday night Special in the neck. I replaced the mounting rings with S.D. Hot shot 4 way switched mounts and the guitar already had a three way pickup selector. So individually each pup can have either coil as single, parallel duo or reverse duo, combined with the 3way that gives a total of 24 varied pickup configurations.
Admittedly some have only a slight tonal difference but they are distinguishable. The result I believe is one of the most versatile guitars ever, the variety of tones and the sustain it produces are amazing. Thank you for inspiring me to start on that journey.
Cheers for bringing us to attention about these great and affordable guitars !
Sounding a little Robert Cray esh today Maxx!! Loving those clean tone bro thanks good demo!!
Woodwork on that guitar looks top notch !
Funny, just now seeing this video i after i had purchased the Boysenberry finish in a hh s s setup! im looking forward to see this in my hand!
That is a beautiful guitar.
Damnit Max! I have enough guitars already! 5 of them were reviewed by you. If this keeps up my friends are going to host interventions
She's a Beauty, that guitar reminds me of my music teacher's Westone Thunder back in the ea 80s.
That guitar reminds me of my first real guitar....a 1980 Japanese made Vantage VS600...and yes, it was bought new...lol....great video Max...thanks..
Really nice guitar--awesome
This dude could make any guitar sound good, still great review👌
Not a resolution (I don't do them) but I am going to practice and play more, every evening if possible. Love your channel.
Hell yeah, cool guitar!
If I remember rightly… back in the late 70’s Ibanez used to make this type of strat - and I spent years dreaming of owning one! Sadly - I could never afford one - but now there’s someone else making them so it might now be possible….
Sweet. Very nice Max. I'm really liking their products.
I have the tele model with the neck thru and I had a custom made pickup installed in the bridge and a porter humbucker pickup in the neck position.
Very nice, nice playing dude
