    Such a wonderful interview. Learning so much about the Leo Jaymz brand and seeing the genuine dedication and passion he has is very refreshing. I am so impressed with the openness to new ideas, but also a commitment to producing a quality product. This was just so enjoyable to view. Now I'm even more excited to own my first Leo Jaymz guitar. Wishes for continued growth and much success to Leo. 😁

    Great interview, I'm very interested in Leo guitars,they are hitting a home run with their LPs,and the prices are insane for such quality builds,every review I've seen on UA-cam,
    are very positive towards the brand, and all of their guitars are fantastic,keep up the amazing guitar building, much respect to you and your company.

    Thanks for the review. I bought one of these( SC American Flag model) a month ago ($179 from Amazon). It arrived in perfect condition and well packed. I had read all of the pros and cons prior to buying it and decided to try one for good or bad. I don't regret it!
    I've been playing for over 60 years and several as a professional. I don't claim to be an authority on guitars but honestly...I love this guitar, as is , right out of the box. I tuned it up and it stays in tune, no microphonic feedback from the pickups, neck is straight, frets are polished and smooth and the action is perfect as is for me. I use a Marshall Code 50 amp which seems to be a good match. I found no cosmetic flaws and it is a beautiful guitar. Strings are OK but I may eventually change them to Elixirs. I'll put it up against my Gibson Les Paul Standard any day. This is a well built instrument in my opinion and underpriced for the overall quality and playability. I wouldn't hesitate to play it on stage. Different strokes for different folks but personally I don't think anyone would regret buying this guitar. I know I'll be buying another one soon.

    I treated myself to a white double cut (Read SG) model over the holiday season, and I just LOVE IT Sounds gnarly, well built, and won't break the bank. It's even cheaper than an Epiphone SG Jr. Special Model, and a lot cheaper. Makes a great beginner guitar as well as a home jamming, and open mic. guitar. HIghly recommended!

    I had to admit, I didn't know what to expect from their guitars. The first one I've ever bought was actually from you, the blue Monsoon. And aside from needing a little bit more sanding on the back of the neck (no big deal), it's great. I don't even mind the reverse headstock or the 14" radius. It feels and plays great. These guys are doing good work.

    • @thebaldshredder
      @thebaldshredder  3 місяці тому +1

      Glad you like it. I think they really nailed it with the Monsoon.

    • @-KingOfKhaos
      @-KingOfKhaos 10 днів тому

      Of all the budget brands, I’m considering the Leo Jaynz specifically because of the reverse headstock! It’s different and not in a bad way either.

  • @bluwng

    they really need to make both a white and a black explorer with no binding, dot inlays and no pickguard. it would be cool to see a single hum version too. they used to sell the kits (i own one) but it would be awesome if they sold a complete one. i also own one of the red LPs and the paintjob is perfect minus one weird spot on the back of the headstock but its the size of a pea. its like the clear coat is just floating on the surface or something in that tiny spot. cheap parts but i bought it to upgrade it. will be buying something else again in the future. probably one of the esp V shape, dime bag, or the bc rich kits. i love to build them and there affordable. just bought my second explorer kit but thru a different company because leo isn't selling any right now. maybe ill make a video comparing them.

    I def don't want a Floyd rose from a budget guitar company. Just keep doing what ya doing Leo jaymz. Keep bringing more guitars with those Alnico v pickups (or better) also package your guitars more secure. Love my lp single cut. Got my eye on your new tellie's ... bring us a better sg model!

    I really do not have to have a Floyd Actually installed. I just want it pre routed from the factory on a Good guitar like the Monsoon. Not on one of the Leo Jaymes DIY kits. I can easily install my own Floyd 1000. For that matter I can have it routed at a shop but thats Never as good as a true Factory route. I wish he would consider just selling some Monsoon bodies even ones with No pickups.. but with a Floyd Route
