    I buy cheap guitars and i am really happy with their tone and playability. I bought my last strat for a little more than 100$ and it sure does sound like a strat. Yeah, fretwork is a bit rough, but pickups and hardware a pretty neat! (The brand is called vintage, they use wilkinson stuff). Oh i also don’t by anything new. Why pay more for a cardboard box delivered from shop, when you can just pick up a cool guitar with great mojo. Granted, if i was a dentist or a lawyer or didn’t live in russia, i would consider buying more premium stuff, but at the end of the day guitar is an instrument, and cheap guitars are perfectly capable of getting the job done (especially these days)

  • @Necropheliac

    For the past 12 years I’ve been buying cheap guitars and setting them up myself and they can easily achieve the quality of an $800+ guitar simply by giving them the time and TLC that was skipped at the factory to get them down to that price.
    Not all cheap guitars are salvageable but most of them are. You’ll have to adjust the truss rod, maybe file or replace some frets, fix the intonation, fix the tremolo balance etc… stuff that the factory is cheeping out on because they don’t want to pay people to refine them off the line.
    Once you get good at setting up guitars you can save a lot of money. You won’t get the fancy paint jobs or the pretty designs but the sound and feel will be the same.

    As an only two cheap AF guitars owner, I couldn't agree more. I'm also a BIAS FX user and sold my big Laney amp with my loved EVH signature overdrive pedal because that plugin makes all the job I need, and it's actually better for recording directly through my cheap Behringer interface. I downsized my rig and I couldn't be happier with the money and free space I got back. I don't even play outside my room, so that's more than enough for me.

      Sometimes it's the price and the color. I wanted a specific metallic blue Squier, similar to the Daytona Blue that Fenders use. However, Squiers have been using many different shades of blue for years. I went through Guitar Centers website and ended up on the fifth page to find the blue guitar I wanted for $160ish. Granted it was a 2005 Squier so I had to put a ton of TLC into it like sanding and crowning the frets, replacing the nut, adjusting the neck and truss rod. However, I don't regret it for a second.

    I built my own sustainer strat…
    Right now, probably at $300 between a pickguard and a vegatrem.
    Got a squire body i refinished, paint kit was free due to stew mac’s 7 day promise. Traded some parts for fender locking tuners. Did some 3D printing work for a friend who sent me hot rails, found a sustainer on IG.
    Patched the input hole with stuff I had, refinished and assembled with a spare MIM neck.
    The closest thing is an EOB strat which is $1500. And mine has more features and plays better than the ones I’ve demo’d 😂
    Between a 10 way switch with fun wiring, the vegatrem, SD (psychedelic neck, hot rail bridge) pickups and a sustainer, I can make more tones than i ever need 😅

  • @Bloodray19
    @Bloodray19 4 роки тому +1

    About the playability issue. I repair guitars at work. People sometimes bring me veeery cheap and crappy guitars to do something to them. If you actually understand how the different parts of the guitar, be it acoustic or electric, contribute to the overall feel, you can easily correct those problems. I can make a 100$ guitar play like a 1000$ one. Yeah, it's some work, but the money they pay me to make it better is much less than buying a better guitar. (I should point out, that it might not sound exactly as an expensive one, but that thing is explained in the video already)

    for me expensive guitars isnt about tone at all , its about playability , i have a 1500 ibanez and ever after playing that , any other guitar i've played feels like not smooth , the best way i can put it is like if both the strings and the frets were extremely rusted , thats how it feels , so my theory for now is that it might just be that stainless steel frets make that much of a difference , i kinda want to find a cheap guitar with stainless steel frets to see if that's what it is

My only complaint about it is that the screws that allow you to adjust the string action on the bridge are sharp as f*** and had to be sanded down a little. This is something I only noticed once I started trying to learn Tosin Abasi's technique.

    @l0rd_breeigo-sama954 Рік тому +1

    I Will still argue, that you might not need an expensive guitar, but you do NEED good pickups for certain things. I mainly play 8s and my first 8 string was a Harley benton multiscale 8 string for around 200$ and i plugged it in and it sounded awful, so much so that i Got discouraged from playing it, it had so many problems with tuners, the nut and the fretwork but the worst was the Stock soapbar pickups. A year later after basically quitting, i Got a 2000$ ibanez 8 string with lundgrens and it sounded a universe better than the Old one, even on the shitty amp i had. Then i Got a good amp around 6 months later which was a rectifier, and Got a fortin boost pedal. And damn it finally began to Sound really good. Then i thought “wait i want to try plugging the Old 8 into the new setup, it Can impossibly Sound bad now” and it did, with a completely midded out amp, it manager to still Sound muddy. I would say after the 2000$ Mark a guitar only gets more prestigious. But before that you Can only go up. Am also currently having huge issues with fret height on even a 2k $ guitar.

    Brand named vintage and overly expensive guitars has a "curse" on them because of theft and/or accidents.

Epiphones and Squires are the best at not just the sound but you also get to look the part..

    My most expensive guitar is a Peavey Grind 6 string bass guitar. It's considered one of the more affordable guitars of its kind, which I find funny cuz I had to save up and go in on it with three other people.

    90-s Peavey Reactor is a great telecaster. You can still find one for $400-600. Got mine for $480 in nearly perfect condition. Thought I'd upgrade electronics, but never got to it -- it's pretty good as is.

    I have a 2009 Gibson Les Paul Studio, and it plays and sounds ten times better than my 1881 Les Paul Standard did. Not long ago, the Fender Squier Strats retailed at the Guitar Center for $99.00 with a gig bag.; around the same time period, I bought an American Standard Strat for $700.00. If I did it again today, I would definitely go with one of their Mexican models. I think the key to a good guitar is right in the middle somewhere. I like a good playing guitar but I'm not impressed with fancy paint and bindings. Jimmy Page bought all of his guitars second hand and probably didn't pay more than a couple of hundred for his LPs.

    benefit of buying expensive guitars for me, you can often put them on payment plans. still in debt, but at least you can feel like you're actually affording it.

    So I Love my cheap guitars, however I can say there is a quality and playability difference in a much higher end one say,PRS McCarty 594, or Silver sky for my references. There is a tonal quality difference and there is definitely a playability difference. That being said everything you had to say in this video is correct You don't have to spend a month's wages to get good tone and a decent playable guitar. One of my favorite ones is a Squire that I dropped a fender custom shop pick guard into, can't beat the sound in that guitar; but you get to play it and you get to work at playing it.

    The only diffrence between cheap and expensive guitars in my opinion is playability/ quality control. If I buy a stingray sub bass, the action will probably be high and the frets will need doing. If i get a usa stingray, that thing will be near perfect out of the box. QC takes time and time is money. The sound will be simmilar. The looms will be the same. But the neck feel and playability will be night and day

  • @awandererfromys1680
    @awandererfromys1680 12 днів тому

    Guitar is about playability. Tone is down to loudspeakers. Everything in between, those are your toys.
    I had to sand down the frets on my Squier because they had burrs down the neck, and the whole string setup and tuning was a bit of a PITA, but otherwise it's a sweet guitar. Cheap guitars have their own charm.

    You can get great deals on used guitars. Sometimes guitar center has used cheap guitars that have upgrades and mods done to them but they sell them as if they didn’t have upgrades, and sometimes the upgrades alone cost more than what they’re asking for. That being said, expensive guitars hold their value much better

    I own 3 guitars, an Epiphone Dr-90 cheap ass acoustic that has been loved, set up and maintained properly, plays okay, sounds alright. An Ibanez Gio RG, and Jackson X series Soloist. While the jackson plays great, and sounds amazing, something about the feel of the Gio is just, so right in my hands. There is a $650 (cad) price gap between the Ibanez and Jackson, and I prefer the feel of the Gio. That being said the jackson has a floyyd for all that dive bomby fluttery goodness. Love all my guitars and never saw/ felt the need to spend over $1000 on a fancy pro or sig series guitar, outside of some of the higher end finishes being all too sexy, they don't feel any better, or at least 3x the price better.
