You made a good choice. These guitars are well worth buying. I speak to the owner fairly often and he's just like that. His thinking is to make a customer happy is to make him happy because he doesn't want the extra work of dealing with defects, etc so he makes sure the guitars are as perfect as can be out of the box. If you have no reason to call him he knows your happy and so he's happy. I just received an ST1 for review and it's perfect out of the box... and $144.95!
Absolutely amazed by my purple burst SBH-HD! Perfect right out of the box. Plays like a guitar costing at least twice as much. Great features and quality at a fantastic price. I have one of their Strat style ST-2 models coming later today. Tease guitars are awesome!
The finish looks pretty good, I myself like darker necks and rosewood fretboards though, and I do like the look of the tuners but you can't tell by looks the functionality of them. Everything else I see I'll be sticking with Firefly. I just got a semi hollow body FFTL with a bigsby in sunburst for $230 plus $27 shipping that is absolutely amazing. I also grabbed a Firefly FFST HSS a couple months ago for $169 plus $27 shipping. It has locking tuners, bone nut, stainless steel ball end frets, roasted Canada maple flamed neck, rosewood fretboard, Alnico V pickups and a flawless finish. You might get a dud from Firefly occasionally ( I haven't) but they definitely seem to be listening to their customer base and have consistently been stepping up their game. I'm very happy with the Firefly guitars I have. Thanks for posting the video...I'll keep an eye out for what Tease offers in the future.
Yes he is. A completely straight up honest guy. Does your ST-1 have the swimming pool rout? Torsten told me all the latest ones have it so it can be a great mod platform
Interesting, I'll have to check if they ship to Canada. At one point Firefly made an EBMM EVH style model that really interested me... but they don't ship to Canada. I'm also going to check if they sell m other models than Telecasters because that's not a style that interests me. Thank you RJ for introducing us to this brand.
Hi Martin! How's everything? I believe they have a way to ship to canada that isn't quite free but is very reasonable considering the usual customs issues that can happen. The guitars are really good but the models are all based around the strat and tele bodies so far, no doubt more will come but there is a crazy good deal on a super strat with a 1000 series floyd rose. The owner is a metallica fan so they aren't your dads tele or strat. The owner is doing things right. The amount of guitar you get for the price is crazy. Trust me on that. wait until you see the specs on these guitars.
Hey Martin! I spoke to Torsten, the owner of Tease Guitars. He says to contact him so he can hook you up with a great shipping deal to canada. He said if you work with him he'll work with you to ship it absolutely as cheaply as possible. Go to the website to get the contact info.
@@RJsCave Everything's doing fine thanks. I posted this message before visiting their site. It is clearly stated that they ship to Canada... so they have another advantage over Firefly on this point.
There is no way these compare to Firefly. The locking tuners, roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets are way above what a Tease comes with at same price. Of course Firefly charges shipping but that's just like it is.
Some of us watch while babysitting. Please bring you Sunday effects and monologue into parity. Turning up loud enough to hear you, turns out to be a highly disturbing blast come sound effect - even to awake adults hard of hearing like me. VERY HARSH THE SOUND EFFECTS that was toward my point.
what you're saying is some audio is too high. UA-cam does that. The compression youtube adds during uploading pushes lower audio up in the mix. The only thing I can do is get an audio balance that the algorithim likes so it won't alter the audio but when I p[lay videos on youtube they sound fine through my set up. So it's hard for me to even know if others are having problems. And finding that audio sweet spot blind has odds similar to finding a needle in a haystack. But I hear you and I'm trying.
I just ordered a purple burst one last night, can't wait to get it. The owner seems to be a genuinely good guy who cares about customers.

Yes they are. I am working on a review for the ST1 and it's surprising how good it is.

good for you. this isn't a review tho. That's the video after this one.
I got both the same guitars ‼️
great guitars!
@@RJsCave yup 👍
And I'm not a budget guitar guy...
Have a heavily modified ST-1 Tease. Great mod platform, fun guitar, Torsen is great to deal with

hey was interested in your video but the hard panning of your voice was painful to listen to. just passing on feedback for the future.
IIRC there were some audio issues with mics during this one. I appreciate the info tho. Thanks.

Firefly also has more unique body contours Tease is so basic and uses mostly pale looking maple for fretboards.
lol

Sorry about that.
Ill definitely be checking them out
Please do. You won't be disappointed. Great stuff. Full review next week.
I want to buy a firefly, but I don't want to give paypal my social.
I understand. maybe you should try a TEASE guitar instead. They have stainless steel frets too and I don't think you have to use paypal.
