The amount of kids out there that get bought super high end guitars, amps and effects just to start learning only to give up one month later is insane.
I think the idea of an "improve your cheap guitar" series is a really lovely idea - a chance to teach those youngsters and/or parents how to improve their cheap starter instruments. One of my band mates has been building guitars with his son, and now his lad is leaving school and looking at a music industry related career. This idea is no small thing, it could really influence some future guitarists and maybe future luthiers too.
Wow! I'm from L.A.! Never knew there's a guy in the Philippines who can play this good using a dirt-cheap guitar! I became a fan in an instant! Cheers from L.A.! Legazpi, Albay.
I just received an identical GTL last week. $68.40 delivered to San Francisco. Have to change strings, clean fingerboard. Check the level, polish frets. I learned a few cords on two verry funky and very bad guitars when I was young. Truth is, the actions were so bad, I gave up guitar. Now retired, bought this Glarry and will try again. I believe my eBay Glarry was actually a return. The (bad) strings were shiny at the frets, indicating lots of use. There was no plastic film on either pickguard or the pick-ups. Hence, a return. The transparent yellow high gloss finish was flawless. So, even if it was a return, I will just try to set it up and use for my learning guitar. Perfecto- you intimidate me. I don't see me ever getting close to your skill. It has to be the guitar genes. Good video. Great channel.
Cheap guitars are a great way to start getting into mods. I bought a cheapo tele that costed me 3500 pesos and probably spent around 1800 pesos on a new neck, new tuners, a fret file and some nuts. That guitar sounds damn good to my ears compared to my strat that I bought for 8000.
the Glarry "Stratocaster" was 60 bucks on Amazon, so i got one for camping trips - - cheap enough that i wouldn't have to worry if it got damaged or ran low on firewood.. HA!.. .. Immediately replaced strings & tuned and adjusted pickup heights. No fret or finish problems to repair. The whammy recovers nicely from a nosedive, and in 6 months i've only had to adjust tuning once! The neck is THICK like a baseball bat, but still easy to play. hey for $60, i'm exceptionally pleased with the tone and finish and playability of this Glarry Strat. Even A HUNDRED sixty dollars would be worth it. (using a 6-AA battery BlackStar FLY amp when camping. Hell it was $10 more than the guitar!)
I’m also a professional guitarist, and I bought that very same Glarry. I thought I’d just mess with it or mod it or something. SURPRISE! It’s actually a pretty darn decent little axe! Now... it wouldn’t be my go-to gigging instrument... BUT in an emergency it’d be GREAT! He’s right- the microphonic pups are a bit of a drag, and I had to smooth down the ends of the frets. But other than that... I LOVE THIS AXE!
Great review! I went up a notch with an Indio (Monoprice) "Retro Classic DLX" and for $199 and got an instrument equivalent to the Squier and other T-style guitars currently selling in the $400 to $600 range. Excellent construction, great finish, holds a tune and great sound that is plenty "Tele" enough for the price tag. Set up at the factory saved me a trip to the luthier and the extra $ for that. Strung with D'Addarios and comes with a free gig bag. I will be using this guitar with my students. I encourage you to have a look if you haven't already!.
I have startes learning again after 12 years. I left playing because of a bad accident that happened all those years ago, you have in fact forced me to come back to playing once again. thank you for that. I will learn how to play a guitar and I will learn it well. Thanks teacher, keep rocking. 🤘😎
Same here. I got into an accident that prevented me from playing for 2 years. I picked up an inexpensive guitar so I can rehabilitate my arm and play again. I hope you are doing great.
I know a guy in the city I live in, that it doesn't matter what guitar he plays, he is such an incredible guitar player that if one turns around and not know and see how cheap he's guitar was, you would think he was playing a $5,000 Les Paul re-issue instead of a $99 made in Indonesia les Paul copy.. its all in the fingers man..
Im not complaining about the influx of cheap copy guitars at all. The big names still have the kudos, still sell loads. A well known band will always be seen with quality gear. For the rest of us, the home, bedroom and lounge brigade, of which i am a member, its good news. I dont feel im good enough for a 1000 plus guitar but im happy i can get something half decent now for a fraction of that.
Actually I was amazed by the sound of that guitar at the end of the video, Sir perf really thought me that it's not about how beautiful your instrument is, it's all about a your skills!
I own the Burning Fire bass and the Burning Fire guitar, both in the sunset paintjob, plus I own the Tele-style semi-hollow body, in sunburst blue. I love all three guitars. I will say, all three of them required intonation and setup, plus I broke one of my high strings on one guitar right away too.
I found this video by accident and watched only out of curiosity. I have to say that you are one of the best presenters of videos that I have ever watched on You Tube. Honest, polished, and very informative. You sir could sell anything, well done.
Cheap amps are irrelevant in that it's about the speaker. For instance, you can wire a $70 amp into a 1x12 speaker cabinet and it will sound like a more expensive solid state amp.
1) You play fantastic 2) Yeap amazing guitar for that price. I recently bought a Squier Strat for 130 euros (for a mod project), my first guitar in the early 2000s was a Squier Strat as well. And between the Squier Strat I bought the other day, and my first Squier Strat, there is no comparison. The Squier Strat I just bought was setup properply, stayed in tune, and played and sounded good (for that price). My first guitar was a piece of crap, bending made the tuning keys spin backwards and the string would go out of tune, intonation was terrible and the tremolo bar was unusable. Entry price guitars have really improved a lot and are suitable for beginners, and mod projects.
Yeah, but you get the worst hardware you can get, cheesy sounding pickups, plus a crappy fret job, a poor feel... In the end it's better to save some money and get a "real" guitar. It may technically be a guitar but it'll never be an good instrument.
@@TeleCaster66 Some folks can't afford it, man. It's that simple. I grew up poor. Ramen and Koolaid poor. And always wanted a guitar. But I was an adult with my own job and Bill's before I got one, and being an adult with other priorities, I knew I would not be able to devote the time and attention required to learn the instrument, so an inexpensive model was the wisest option. If I take to it, perhaps I will upgrade, but dropping more than a couple hundred on a whim is kinda reckless
He's based in the US and I don't think he can grab on the cheap guitar brands that are selling here in PH like Sqoe, JCraft, Thomson, RJ, Elegee. Unless purchased here in PH and shipped to US.. Hassle na yata yun.. BUT still hoping that you can make a review of those brands sir Perf. :) Mabuhay ka Sir Perf!!

EXCELLENT tutorial, Perf! I spend more of my time making these cheap instruments play really well so newbies want to keep playing than I do crafting new instruments and I get every bit of satisfaction out of it as well... Greg Bogoshian, RockBeach Guitars
Wow to one of Filipino legendary guitarists...guitar price,or quality doesn't really matter...it is always up to the player....meron ka nga super ganda at Mahal na gitara...but you do don't have da sir perf guitar playing skills...good job sir...I kinda like that guitar..oh yeah
That was a semi-enjoyable commercial. You hooked me into watching - didn't let me down - gave the results I expected - and I feel neither happy or sad.
Reviewing guitars should be like this. You have to judge the guitar according to its price and if its a good value for your money. For 89usd?? Ill practice my technician skills on this guitar hehehehe
Harley Benton TE-52 is a good alternative but you'll have to pay more shipping if you're in the US since it can only be purchased online through Thomann's which is based in Germany. Their products are cheap but good in quality as well. Y'all should check them out..
A "cheap" guitar is going to sound good in the hands of someone with talent, i have an electric guitar, brand is Kawai, got it 30 years ago, tried to learn to play but... i have no talent for it, nowadays its somewhere in the house collecting dust.
That was a pretty honest and informative video. I saw another channel where the guy couldn't believe how good a Glarry $100 bass was. If you've got the minimum skills to do a little work you can get a nice playable guitar to learn on and not have to drop 2 week's pay on it.
I have my secondhand fernando tele. also Mr. perf, worth 3000 pesos! haha since i am no pro guitarist, satisfied n din ako, highschool ko pa pangarap mag ka electric guitar kaso wala chance mbilhan dahil sa hirap ng buhay, now mai work na ako kaya ko na bumili kaso late na ata to improve.. You keep me inspired Maestro!! Godbless!!
Same situation tayo bro. Mahirap kasi buhay nuon, kaya hindi makabili ng gamit. Pero, wag ka sumuko sa dream mo bro. Kahit matanda na, may room pa din for improvement. I suggest, you to invest your time into music theory, while doing different chromatic exercises. Tapos, pag nagcompose ka na, dahil sa experience mo, makakapagproduce ka ng music na hindi generic ang tunog kagaya sa mga modern guitarists who learned from the same youtube shred guitar lessons. Ok lang na hindi speedy, mahalaga may sariling composition paps.
Very emotive with nice use of accents on the guitar. As a guitarist for book trailers looking for inspiration, your playing here is great since you make the guitar sound so melodic and lively even if the guitar isn't high quality. Inspiring!
Sir Perf, how 'bout testing out the new JCraft Vintage series? Sana po ma test niyo, kung hindi. Amma wait 😁. Love the videos lalo na po yung PerfTalk. Napaka inspiring po ng mga kwentuhan niyo with other guitarist. Kahit papaano po nabibigyan niyo po kami ng kabanda ko ng inspiration na mag gitara kahit naka house arrest tayong lahat, lol haha. Mabuhay po kayo ❤ EDITED - HOLY!!!! 57 LIKES!!!
I'm seriously about to get one of these and hot rod it. Replace the neck completely with a fender tele style one, replace the bridge and pickups and you've got an amazing guitar for close to 300 bucks (depending on how high-end your willing to go).
Remember you can always buy a cheap guitar like this and "build it up" slowly with aftermarket parts as you progress as a player. Always get a cheap guitar when starting as there is no guarantee that you will like playing it.
Awesome video and do I detect some SRV at the end (Loved it)!!!!! New Subscriber and I am looking to purchase one of these to take with me on my travels (Retired)..
Great idea to modify this guitar and maybe make a mini series for that 😊 And also, maybe make it a giveaway from a contest. Don't forget to sign the guitar 😄 kaso parang most of your viewers are not in the US.. Keep it up Sir, God Bless...
Sir Perf I'm a huge fan of yours. I know there ain't any shortcuts towards becoming a great guitarist, but I'd like to try to play electric guitars. The real challenge is how I can bring myself to get one. I hope I can get a cheap guitar just like the one you bought.
At first I was like ok, whos this youtuber, then I checked out your discography and was dumbfounded when I found a first copy of your Rivermaya CD in my mom's collection.....
Nice guitar overall, although the pickups kinda off for me, considering the price point (around 5,000 Php), Its a great-value guitar for beginners. For someone like me whose been used to playing acoustic and considering owning an electric for the 1st time in the future, I think this could be a good guitar to start, mainly for familiarising with the knobs and electric guitar maintenance
I can say as a pretty good guitarist and setup/adjustment guy and having 2 Glarrys in the past... that they are easily worth $100. The Tele for $90 is a steal... but be prepared to get it adjusted. It is simple to do with cheap tools readily available. Do it yourself! But take your time and use free UA-cam vids to learn how !
I have two Yamaha EG 112C2´s, I think I paid $199.00 per. Great guitars. You can walk away from one for six months, and the strings might be rusted over but those damned things will still be in the exact tuning you left them in. All the stuff I´ve seen on youtube about guitars has convinced me of what I already suspected, that the most important thing about an electric guitar is that the octaves are right on, the action and strings are even and consistent and you have good pickups and amp and it has good tuning machine heads that won't move. No one will ever convince me that pricey guitars aren´t a scam. These are not my only cheap guitars, I also have a Gibson Maestro 2/3rd scale acoustic guitar my son bought me. I think he may have paid a couple of hundred for it. Another great guitar, easy to play, (small hands), and sounds great. I keep that one next to my sofa so I can play while I´m watching TV.
Sir perfecto may pagasa pa ba akong 40 year old former rhythm guitarist in high school and college bands na maging eksperto sa guitar. I dont know lead eh. Thanks for reading.
That is incredible value for money! People spend way too much money on gear hoping it will give them an advantage, the only way to really sound good is to spend the hours of practice that is required, there is not shortcut! This video is a clear example of what a good player can do with a mediocre instrument. This guitar is sufficiently good enough for at least a couple of years for any beginner. Nice video perfecto. Salamat.
I just bought an Austin Strat from a local kid for $50 and I’m amazed how good it sounds and feels. Will I pick it over my high end PRS guitars? No, but it’s pretty damn great for a cheap guitar. I wish I’d had a guitar this nice when I was s beginner.
nice review idol. unang gitara ko ay ESP M-50 ng tatay ko. i think more than 15yrs old n sya at mas matanda pa sakin pero astig prin ang tunog. dami ko ng n cover n heavy metal tunes sa gitarang ito. not bad for $400 CAD
Thin sounding? It's a telecaster copy. Telecaster's are generally thin sounding. But that one actually sounds round and full, just need to be broken in.
Less than P5k! Nasa kamay talaga 'yon. Interesting din na geared towards foreigners yung vid na 'to, kasi sabi nga ni Doc Adam: wala masyadong pera kapag audience mo lang ay Flips.
Watch Part 2 where I set up this guitar here: ua-cam.com/video/oHmcfb4Kmtw/v-deo.html
Will do. Thanks.
This will be a lost art in a few decades.
@Amplm pyc is depressed as mentioned in the original video, the stock tuners have low ratio so kinda difficult to fine tune
Regalo mo nalang sakin to idol haha para meron na ko electric haha peace

@@tsoonot9485 You're welcome for rock and roll along with the electric guitar. Put some respect on the USA
I have the same problem the other way......I can take a $2000 guitar and with my playing ability, it sounds like a $89 dollar guitar!
That's the most common my man. Same here. And that after almost 2 years of learning .
I like your intro, straight to the point "Listen, I know what I am doing, google me, its there. Now lets talk about this cheap guitar"

LOL!
You're right. Whtf are u
Gimme some sexy waa waa next time
mee too lOL=)
Dude I'm so bad my videos cant even be found in the recommendation system
Im so cheap, instead of buying cheap guitar, i made one myself. (with reclaimed wood and cheap pickups. :D )
That ain't cheap, you're creative :)
For me that is priceless.

the Glarry "Stratocaster" was 60 bucks on Amazon, so i got one for camping trips - - cheap enough that i wouldn't have to worry if it got damaged
or ran low on firewood.. HA!.. .. Immediately replaced strings & tuned and adjusted pickup heights. No fret or finish problems to repair. The whammy recovers
nicely from a nosedive, and in 6 months i've only had to adjust tuning once! The neck is THICK like a baseball bat, but still easy to play.

My dad bought me an IBANEZ RG320FM when I was learning guitar❤
I like the flower in your pants Sir. Haha
Awesome video and do I detect some SRV at the end (Loved it)!!!!! New Subscriber and I am looking to purchase one of these to take with me on my travels (Retired)..
Hi Tim! Welcome to my corner of YT. This guitar needs a lot of work but the price makes it a no brainer if you wanna get into tinkering
Great idea to modify this guitar and maybe make a mini series for that 😊 And also, maybe make it a giveaway from a contest. Don't forget to sign the guitar 😄 kaso parang most of your viewers are not in the US..
Keep it up Sir, God Bless...
Sounds fine to me, my first guitar was a black Les Paul copy, it was like playing a heavy tin can, this guitar looks lovely...
Sir Perf, I hope you can review Japanese brand guitars like Aria pro II legend. I want to hear your expert opinion. Thanks 😊
i think may aria pro dati si sir perf, di alg ako sure
@@monocyte2210 yup. He mentioned it sa talk nila ni Mike. Aria daw yung first serious guitar nya. :)
Aria pro is tested and proven na maganda HAHAHAHAHAHA even kirk hammett used aria pro early era ng metallica.
@@belzeeboy7392 oo parang na confuse ako kung kay Mike Elgar yun or kay Maestro Perf yun
@@pierrothagoe3400 hmm i think nag tatanong lang naman ang original poster ng review ni sir perf sa Aria pro
Love the intro sir perf!! Ang angas! Haha!
Where were these guitars when I was 12. The cheapest ones were $175 at my local guitar shop in 1992 and I'm sure the mark-up was probably 100%.
I know, right?
If you had gotten this piece of junk when you were 12, you probably would have given up when you were 12 and a half.
Man the beginner stuff available in southeastern Kentucky in '86 was absolute garbage. It amazes me what kids can get cheaply nowadays.
Sir Perf I'm a huge fan of yours. I know there ain't any shortcuts towards becoming a great guitarist, but I'd like to try to play electric guitars. The real challenge is how I can bring myself to get one. I hope I can get a cheap guitar just like the one you bought.
At first I was like ok, whos this youtuber, then I checked out your discography and was dumbfounded when I found a first copy of your Rivermaya CD in my mom's collection.....
Thank you so much sir 😊 for the good review
Nice guitar overall, although the pickups kinda off for me, considering the price point (around 5,000 Php), Its a great-value guitar for beginners. For someone like me whose been used to playing acoustic and considering owning an electric for the 1st time in the future, I think this could be a good guitar to start, mainly for familiarising with the knobs and electric guitar maintenance
i normally do thumbs down on other youtubers..... this is the only channel that i'm not only subscribed, but also do thumbs up.
Sir Perf : Mumurahin , tunog mamahalin
Ako : Mamahalin , tunog mumurahin
HAHAHAHAHA
Godbless Sir Perf !!!
Same here HAHAAHAHA
Me: mumurahin, tunog mumurahin. Ayt. Hahahaha.
Usually we describe that sound as "Tunog lata!"
*sabay mura: "ayoko na mag gitara!" :D
same tayo idolo hahaha
I can say as a pretty good guitarist and setup/adjustment guy and having 2 Glarrys in the past... that they are easily worth $100. The Tele for $90 is a steal... but be prepared to get it adjusted. It is simple to do with cheap tools readily available. Do it yourself! But take your time and use free UA-cam vids to learn how !
Yup, totally agree!
Omg never thought I could see Kirk Hammett playing cheap guitars
WAHAHHAHHA
HAHAHAHAHA
I can't wait for you to set up that guitar. More power 💪
Lol i bought a 40 dollars guitar on shoe store... Lol! And it sounds ok and i still using it till now after 5 years
I have two Yamaha EG 112C2´s, I think I paid $199.00 per. Great guitars. You can walk away from one for six months, and the strings might be rusted over but those damned things will still be in the exact tuning you left them in. All the stuff I´ve seen on youtube about guitars has convinced me of what I already suspected, that the most important thing about an electric guitar is that the octaves are right on, the action and strings are even and consistent and you have good pickups and amp and it has good tuning machine heads that won't move. No one will ever convince me that pricey guitars aren´t a scam. These are not my only cheap guitars, I also have a Gibson Maestro 2/3rd scale acoustic guitar my son bought me. I think he may have paid a couple of hundred for it. Another great guitar, easy to play, (small hands), and sounds great. I keep that one next to my sofa so I can play while I´m watching TV.
I've got to say that's a beautiful looking guitar. Great playing, Perf. Cheers for a good vid.
Kuya Perf, you can make a one dollar guitar sound like a million bucks!!!
Excellent review, thank you very much.
content suggestion lang sir - online collab with Coln band hehehe
millions of pro guitarists on yt. stay humble
Sir perfecto may pagasa pa ba akong 40 year old former rhythm guitarist in high school and college bands na maging eksperto sa guitar. I dont know lead eh. Thanks for reading.
That is incredible value for money!
People spend way too much money on gear hoping it will give them an advantage, the only way to really sound good is to spend the hours of practice that is required, there is not shortcut! This video is a clear example of what a good player can do with a mediocre instrument. This guitar is sufficiently good enough for at least a couple of years for any beginner. Nice video perfecto. Salamat.
Cheapness doesn't matter, the passion does
I just bought an Austin Strat from a local kid for $50 and I’m amazed how good it sounds and feels. Will I pick it over my high end PRS guitars? No, but it’s pretty damn great for a cheap guitar. I wish I’d had a guitar this nice when I was s beginner.
Sounds perfectly fine! Good player for sure, but this shows that good guitars are overpriced, it also looks beautiful. Nice video 👍👍
nice review idol. unang gitara ko ay ESP M-50 ng tatay ko. i think more than 15yrs old n sya at mas matanda pa sakin pero astig prin ang tunog. dami ko ng n cover n heavy metal tunes sa gitarang ito. not bad for $400 CAD
Please review leeky guitars from china! They’re amazing, well made and high quality guitars
Let them know I’m interested 😉
Cant wait for the next vids boss.
All these explanations he’s giving of the sound quality, lacking as it may be, and all I hear is some badass guitar playing!
Thin sounding? It's a telecaster copy. Telecaster's are generally thin sounding. But that one actually sounds round and full, just need to be broken in.
you have to compare sounds side by side....good guitar will havemuch more sustain and more hhmpff you know.
Ganda ng intro sir perf!♥️🙌🏻
I wish someday I can also call myself as a Pro Guitarist
I like your pragmatic approach to reviews.
Less than P5k!
Nasa kamay talaga 'yon.
Interesting din na geared towards foreigners yung vid na 'to, kasi sabi nga ni Doc Adam: wala masyadong pera kapag audience mo lang ay Flips.
See pinoybaiting. 😁
Now that is the proper way to assess a guitar! Clean with no effects, or peddles. Hear the guitar first and then leg fly.
Even though it’s just 89$ with free shipping I wouldn’t buy it if I can’t play like that.
it definitely sounds like an 89$ guitar but the skill of the player is priceless
