I'm not trying to stir the pot, but for the money you spend on Amazon guitars you could get a nice 2000$ PRS s2 and review it as a budget USA model. They are rarely looked at, and they recently got USA pickups and upgrades.
@@wriglarzzz I think you miss understand how this channel works. The brands send me guitars to demo. I’m not buying them. I do buy a guitars when I find one I’m personally interested in. But I can say with absolute certainty that if I was spending my own $2000 on a guitar I would not be buying a PRS. Nothing against PRS, they are well built instruments, but they have no connection to my personal tastes.
as a newbie to guitars in general I didn't want to spend a lot of coin on one that might be just a wall decoration. I looked at the sub $100models and watched a lot of u tube reviews. what i found were they looked cheap and/or had build issues, setup issues and used cheap hardware. i finally settled on the $140 fst 400m series. a bit outside my budget but a nice piece regardless. it needed a bit of setup however. the action was too high, truss rod need adjustment and a few frets were too high. fesley appears to be a new entry and i wouldn't be surprised if they release models costing much more in the future.
Turn off all the 🐂 shit so we can hear just the guitar!
my favorite reviews always include the terms, "I don't hate it", "Decent" and "just fine".
Also 'I can't find anything wrong with it' 🤣
That headstock is SCREAMING for art deco rotomatic tuners. Black or silver would both be sweet.
it's really not.
I looked it up, they do suit the guitar.
You could use a few yourself and tune up your lousy internet etiquette.
A 7 lb guitar is easier to swing at the drunks at the dive bar :)
So is a microphone stand!
A 10 pound guitar might be harder to swing at drunks but a 10 pounder hurts way more.
Good analysis.
I've wanted to do this
I like your style sir!
Uncle Fester and Pugsly created their own guitar company.
Pugster?
Buaaahaahahahahaha!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Made my day, dude! Thank you very much!
U're so boring.
They could have had the Fugsly.
@@platypuspracticus2 That's their premium line
Remember when all we had at this price point was First Act? Budget guitars have come so far since then. Thanks for the great demo/review.
Oh damn. I still have ptsd from my middle school guitar students bringing in first act guitars that were absolutely unplayable.
Sounds very compressed.
I was lucky and the guitar shop guy turned me onto a Washburn instead of the gimmicky beginner trash
@@bjellison905 some of those budget wash burns turned out to be nice, especially with a little TLC
Thank you very much for your video work! We are impressed by your smile! Enjoy the music together!😉😊❤🎶🎶
Any plans on making any metal focused guitars like explorers or flying v?
@@bassx_x2096 Thank you very much for your interest in Fesley! There are no plans for this at the moment, but I will pass it on to Fesley's R&D team!😄
@@FesleyMusic I think that a prebuilt tele model would be pretty cool
@@nathanielline Thank you for your interest in Fesley! I'll forward it to Fesley's R&D team!
Do these have steel frets
Loving this guitar, what do you want for that price!!!!!
I really like it ! What does the neck measure at the nut? I really like it to be 43mm…
X-Men theme at 22:30 ?
I really think that people forget that weve outsourced out manufacturing to the far east for 40 years. If you do anything for 4 decades your gonna improve, and thats not even counting the progression in technology in that time frame. Guitars coming out of the east are no longer the sub standard thing they once were. You have a pretty decent chance of getting something solid for a phenomenal price. Im so thankful for youtube reviewers for what they do, if it werent for these people we would be shelling out 4 times the amount of money for a comperable guitar from the big brands. Save money, buy more gear, and make more music.
Indonesia has a pretty good reputation for QC these days
Yup especially with how far CNC has come great bodies and necks, you might get crappy pickups and hardware but these guitars are solid for modding
I own a Indio Boardwalk and it's quality, fit and finish was incredible for the price point.
That actually looks really nice to me
Keep those big silica gel packs and throw them in your tool boxes to help keep your tools from rusting.
Dad?
I use them in my camping gear totes, lol.
good video bro. :-) How good it brings the pinch harmonics ? Thanks
You know, aside from the good reviews and info I get from watching you and the channel, I gotta say, I really, really enjoy coming here when life is extra stressful or I'm getting beat up by anxiety. You have a really calm, chill and funny demeanor, and it really mellows me out. Just wanted to put that out there in case you might see this. Cheers, man.
Same here ! , Anxiety & Depression, galore, this video helped, thank you :).
i think its cuz hes such a chill dude that seems happy all the time. and these kind of videos are just like hanging out with a buddy or hanging at a guitar store.
Seems like a great affordable guitar!
what is that teal guitar to the left of the st vincent one? it looks awesome!
I need another guitar like a hole in the ad, but damn, this thing looks really nice. I’m a Tele guy, but I love this.
Except for all the “Fesley’s” on it.
Looks like it would be a great first guitar.
The TPR is back! Glad you got your super bright glowy hot tube replaced
I’m happy it’s back too!
the headstock looks like an open book face down.
That's a pretty satin finish!
5:11 Hey, it doesn't LOOK like a Tele ...
hell yeah you watch Scarred Guitar too love Sean .
They dont ship to canada:/
I’ve stopped trying to buy every $159 guitar on the net in order to to find out!😬
Lol same here. I never had as good results..maybe my standards a lil higher
Save up all that cash and get something better.
Thank you, Ryan. This was a very enjoyable review.
great video, very tempting
I was looking for a semihollow telle, but after hearing and seeing it in Action. I think I'm gonna get the pink one to hang next to my pink bass.
Would you recommend feasly or harley benton?
I got bought a Fesley 12 string acoustic 2 weeks ago and I love it. I've been a pro and semi pro musician for over 40 years and this is one of the nicest guitars out of the box I've ever purchased. The price was amazing. I got the guitar and a wireless setup as a package for $220. Wireless system seems to be nice as well. I have only used it once.
As an avid concert goer and music fan, I have to say, I don't see how the old brands stay profitable. The quality and performance of these entry level guitars is easily on part with the name brands costing 10X as much. 🤓
Love my Fesley FDK 800
Man I wish we had cheap guitars like this when I was coming up. The only thing at this price point in the 70s was unplayable, department store garbage.
Please do a review of the Jet JS-300.. (Strat style) I think you would be pleasantly surprised!! Just look on UA-cam Tube so many videos about Jet guitars.. I am getting ready to order a gold color JS-300.. I appreciate your reviews and I am very curious on what you think…
Agreed. I have had a JS-400 for a year and it's my main guitar. I just swapped the pickups and electronics but it's stock otherwise
@23:33 If a guitar company knows they are sending a guitar to a reviewer, wouldn't they have a tech go over it with a fine-tooth comb first?
watch more reviews.. you'd be surprised.
Looks like An ESP Eclipse copy
Is the orange guitar over your right shoulder a crestwood?
It's an epiphone.
It's the 150th anniversary epi Crestwood yeah!
What they said. Ryan did the review maybe 2 weeks ago I think. If you’re really into it the video will be close to the top go check it out.
Nice review 🤘🤘
I wonder how their acoustic guitars sound like. And I wonder about intonation …
Ace Frehley Guitars? Holy Crap!
15:02 That rock tone is great!
Thought it said Ace Frehley their for a second!
Ace Fesley
Me too! 😂
I don't really have a comment...I'm just making one to boost analytics so no-name import companies keep paying Ryan to sow their logo-slapped gear and fund the podcast. They don't read these, right?
I'm just replying for the same reason. Rock on!
we are all very excited about product x
What is the brand/model name of that surfy alt rock looking bright orange guitar in the back?
epiphone crestwood
@@60CycleHumcast thank you!!! :))
@@Cooper-cs6dphe made a video & posted it about 2 weeks ago if you want to hear it.
@@fuckgoogle8661 okay, ill check it out
i dont need one, it looks too much like my main LTD, but i still want one. a lot of the amazon brands have really ugly head stocks, or logos, or i dont like the shape of the horn. the fesley for the time being until esp sues them look great.
I've been looking for a LP copy for a while now. Most are crap...so this interests me.
I am very impressed of both the guitar and the player, sounds really good to me, nothing wrong with that guitar.🙂
Can we call those scantron inlays?
They're only allowed on student guitars...
As is your norm, a great video - informative, helpful, fun to watch and in-depth look at an affordable electric. LOVE your use of pedals/effects and what you played to demo this.I guess the only thing I would add to this review is the thing that almost always is true when reviewing any guitar - that this particular guitar is great; and that an identical model from the same manufacturer might yield a different review. Just so beginners might understand it - I think that experienced players mostly know that without it being said out loud. But what a fun review and demo! Your joy in playing and how you play is so refreshing and fun to watch!
Ahh that's the classic metalzone tone I remember from when I was 15 back in 05.
Looks really nice and sounds nice too
Any chance for a teardown video?
If i ever do a mod on it. I think Zimms did a tear down on one.
The best "anything" on Amazon, or anywhere online, is a marketing tactic. It always occurs whenever some new item/product becomes available, lasting one or two weeks, or until another new item within the same category becomes available for promotion. It's all just PR and marketing, and entirely meaningless to what the word "best" actually means
Reminiscent of the Gibson Sonor
I bought a Fesley strat style kit last month and I was surprised by the quality of the pre-finished 3 color sunburst body. Tbf I wasn't expecting much for the price so it wasn't hard to exceed my expectations. I bought a loaded pickguard with alnico slugs and aged yellow vintage color because the stock ceramic pickups are typical budget guitar quality. I did detect a coat of wax underneath the pickup covers though so that's a nice touch for anyone who uses the stock pickups. The neck also felt surprisingly good but the fingerboard was an engineered wood so I replaced it. I bend a lot and play hard so I need a hardwood fingerboard. I can't speak to the playability of the material for other play styles. I swapped out the tuners for ones that look like vintage klusons but have a locking mechanism. The included tuners were typical for budget and mid-range priced guitars. The saddles were the cheap die cast kind so I took some pressed steel saddles from my parts box and replaced those too. If I was forced to choose only one part to replace it would be the saddles and it isn't even close. I despise those saddles. Even with all the work I put into it I still paid less overall than I would have if I bought a finished body from one of the big parts sellers and I got a pretty accurate looking pre-CBS partscaster strat. It looks like a Fender Vintage II '62 and plays really well after a setup. Definitely worth considering whether you're a novice kit builder, looking for an inexpensive instrument and don't mind a little diy, or an experienced maker of partscasters looking for a cheap starting point.
I like your reviews. Especially when you use the effects pedals. As of May 3, 2024. Temu was sold out of these guitars and Amazon only had 3 left. So I got one in that exact color,
Was that the He-Man movie theme? lol
Bolt on ???
Have you ever reviewed Slick brand guitars?
I havent. I dont order from Guitar Fetish often because their shipping can be outrageous. They do carry some cool stuff though.
How are the frets? Every time I buy a cheap guitar it seems the frets are sharp on the edges. I like the looks of this guitar but I don't want to buy one if the frets are sharp. I'm not good at filing that stuff down.
they feel good to me, they arent the hyper smooth ball end style but they are well done.
@@60CycleHumcast Nice. I think I may order one then. Thanks for the info.
With quality guitars like this being made at such affordable prices it makes you really wonder how any Gibson or fender has any right to leave the factory any less than absolutely perfect. Guitars like this really raise the bar for other companies
I've had cheap guitars that were better players than some of my expensive ones, and expensive guitars that were just off and not right enough that I never really liked them, let alone could justify paying what I did for them, so they were sold. In the end it's all about what feels good and really lets you be the most musically creative and expressive. That and not feeling like a sucker as you timidly play your investment, afraid of scratching it. It usually takes people many many years of experimentation and trial and error to realize it actually has little to nothing to do with price or brand. Bad guitars can be had it every price point, just like good ones anymore. It's surprising how cheap quality guitars have gotten. Almost as surprising as ones that cost 20 times more that aren't really that much better, let alone 20 times better. If this guitar can be made for this price, then exactly what are you paying for at $3000 or more? I'll tell you what. A lot of overhead, a sponsored artist's free guitars, an executive's Turbo Porsche, a small upgrade in materials and finish, and bragging rights for you. None of that really translates to a better result for a now guitar-broke, not even professional, musician. As long as the instrument is built well, and isn't holding you back musically from it's playabilty and sound, then there's really no need to pay more. "Man, if I just had that $4000 Custom Shop LP with the trans space purple finish, i'd have played that much better!" Would you really have? Doubt it.
Now that is a good beginner guitar wow might buy one for a friend!! 😊
A LTD Ec1000 knock-out. I suposse it's the same guitar Harley Benton and others sell, with other name and QC level.
Interestingly how are they in comparison with JET guitars of the same price rank🤔
I had an electric from walmart growing up, got a couple name brand ones eventually but sold then got an Epiphone Les Paul LP for $150 CAD years ago (floor model no box from L&M they should’ve gave discount) and maybe got lucky it’s a great build, sounds beautiful when played well & stays in tune just wish the frets were bigger
Looks good on you. It suits you. 🙂👍🏻
Does it seem likely t hat they sent one that was setup and the frets dressed vs. one coming from an Amazon warehouse? your mileage may vary
It actually came from Amazon, but the secondary box it came in was so huge I needed to get rid of it before filming lol. Like 4 guitars could have fit in that box.
Got the pink one about six months ago and was not expecting anything good. Was very surprised at the quality. Have had a few far more expensive guitars have issues but none on the Fesley.
Looks like theyve moved the volume placement in the middle of my strumming pattern. Like a strat, It will make you change the way you play and you will have to hold your hand all crippled positioin as to not bust a knuckle or accidently turning te volume down
Bro, you're like Elvis Fesley! Don't be cruel, keep these awesome reviews coming!😀
I really wish it was a full 2" thick body.
Dude are you playing the music from the original TOP GUN MOVIE, AND THEN INSPECTER Gdgit
I came here for the guitar. I will stay because of you. You are an excellent communicator. You have big brains, but don't show it off. You have a sincere smile (I can read a fake smile a mile away). You clearly have a deep love of music across genres. On top of that you have one of the most open minds (openest?). That's a word now - openest. You have one of the openest mind. Or would it be brain? Openest brain. Yeah, that's better. But seriously dude - thanks for existing, thanks for sharing this vid, and thanks for sharing your love of music. I shall return! Stay awesome.
Agreed! You know he was sincere about this because he was having so much fun playing it. He covers all the tech and QC questions most of us would have.
He seems like
I remember my first guitar. It was from Sears. A strat style that weight roughly twice what a real Strat weighed. Got what a boat anchor! It was $150 ish. Got what a time to learn guitar now! You can get pro level gear for a fraction what it used to cost when I started.
11:22
He tweedled the needle
It was good hearing it played clean first.
The only thing I see is the plastic trim stuff looks kinda wierd being shiny against the matte finish of the top. Id blaxk the whole thing out since its damn near there already.
Great video! You look like you're having tons of fun :) The guitar actually does look like it would be a lot of fun to mess around with and maybe do some minor modding on. Sadly though, I'm left handed and I don't see any lefty Fesley's anywhere. Hopefully they'll release a lefty version of this LP style sometime soon. Also, subbed!
This shows that guitars can be made to be good players at a low price. I would buy one of these.
Have you seennaix string samurai awesome movie I think you would dig it
yep! big fan
Nice 👍🏼🎸
Dang I was trying to avoid a cheap guitar but I may have to get one of these.
I like the looks of this guitar for an inexpensive guitar! One of those tones you had going on reminded me of the Terry Kath sound that I loved in the day!
I bought mine back in November when they came out and it squealed like a pig. Fesley must of remedied it. I think it was a grounding issue. I put artec invader style pickups in mine🤘🏻
Crushed the X-men theme riff, great review!
I’d just like everyone to know that if you clicked on this because you were drunk and mistakenly misread the video title as “Ace Frehley Guitars”, you are not alone.
People typing “ace frehley” in the comments is to going to make the algorithm serve it to more people that like ace lol.
I love a guitar that punches and cuts just not, you know, too much
I missed it. How much did it weigh? Great demo BTW
EDIT: 7.1lbs? WOW
7.1 lbs
No left-handed on their website.
There's a pickup brand(Malagoli) that have big strong magnets on some of their pickups, like big neodimium bars, and uses these plastic EMG-like covers just to reduce the magnetic field, so they don't pull your strings... I believe active pickups also benefits from low magnetic fields to avoid microphonic or hum, letting the punch for the pre-amp...
You’re having too much fun😂. Enjoyed it brother!!!
Best guitar on Amazon is an acoustic called the jasmine s35-u fantastic cheap guitar
That very well may be the best $159 electric guitar on Amazon. I dig the matte finish.
(I prefer pronouncing it Fesley, as in Elvis Fesley, thank you very much 👉)
What's the name of the brand again 🤣
My fesley 350m is great. The b and E tuners are loose but it's great quality for 129
Yea not to many people know about that movie. Awesome music in it. Looks like a nice cheap guitar ibuse to have some decent stuff till I had to sell it all so I been looking for cheap set up lol
Ryan, it's a lovely guitar for the money, the only thing that would be a bonus, a deusenberg les trem as it has a certain twang associated with gretsch sound
I went on amazon-over 10pounds on the one I saw-no sale for my old back. I was considering until I saw the weight. Sounds good though. Looks good.
That might be the shipping weight. The Fesley in the video was very lightweight - steve
Unless I missed it, you omitted to say if this was a paid promotion?
you missed it, I click the 'paid promotion' tab in youtube for the vast majority of my videos, youtube serves a notice depending on the laws in your particular geographic region.
