Raf's Gear Reviews
Добавлен 11 авг 2017
Hey fellas, how's it going? Me? I'm just a hard working dude who pays too many bills and has too many hobbies; most notably purchasing new gear, trading, exchanging, selling and collecting even more. I've owned hundreds of guitars, amps and pedals. Now I decided to make a RUclips channel just for fun and to share some of my knowledge and experiences with you. I'll try to upload as much useful content as I can, but I am in no way or shape, paid to do this, nor do I have the financial means to really invest in it, so I'll do my best with what I got. Thanks for stopping by ladies and gents, rock on and if you like my content please comment, share, like and subscribe! Really helps! \\m/

Saludo! La recomiendas?
@@danielmartires5754 Es una excelente guitarra.
@RafsGearReviews gracias! Pero el diapasón çomo lo vez? Es muy delgado?
@@danielmartires5754 No lo recuerdo demasiado delgado. Al menos no tanto como pa Ibanez Tim Henson clasica.
This is the only review that had issues with the fretwork or routing issues. I've watched a lot of reviews on Sires. What merchant did this guitar come from?
@@niko_azul Thomann
I am not familiar with them. I will have a Site S7 in hand in a few weeks. I hope I don’t have to return it. As I said though every review I’ve read or listened to comments on how good the fretwork is.
@@niko_azul I wouldn't worry. I acquired 2 more Sires that were fantastic and their reputation seems to be stellar. Enjoy your new gear!
Where can I get that backing track?
This is just natural normal for a new guitar bro. And it is not disgusting, that is lovely guitar, just make fully set up and it will be okay. and guitar will not be problem, is how you play not the guitar. That is perfect guitar, dont tell that is disgusting lol
@@arluplayz7884 The guitar is lovely, plays, looks and sounds amazing. Some minor details which I sorted but I still have to admit that route work is atrocious. Not that it affected the guitar in any way lol.
The issue that would concern me is the protruding fret ends. That would certainly affect playability. Less than perfect routing work hidden by a cover plate would not concern me, nor would a bit of finish overspray.
Thanx. I will stay away. I try to avoid guitars that have issues. I am unable to competently fix playability problems on my own so I have to rely on a local guitar tech guy. The relationship is good but the fix increases the cost and can make the purchase a poor decision. No constructive criticism from me - I got the information I needed.
Thats a high action
I got one and it looks almost black. lol but I love it!
Wow mine is not that blue at all...
Can’t help thinking these issues should have been pick up by Thomman’s QC on receiving it from Sire.
The routing must've affected the way he's playing, you can hear it in the jam video. He's getting his musicality and inspirtion from the routing that's why it's such a big deal for him
@@lesterneil1570 correct, glad you could hear it 🤣

Thanks for the video, just what I was looking for getting the MA-10
Another solid cheap gear review. Cool stuff Raf
I love your reviews on budget gear. You always keep it real and informative. Your playing is really great too. Steve in North Carolina.
@@slewis7948 Thanks Steve! Really appreciate it!
Guys like that can make any guitar sound good !
I think this was meant to be a great guitar but mine had problems. Frets were not level and there was always a slight fuzzy sound when played clean which was annoying to me so I sold it. I now own the sire S3 and like it much better.
1st negative review I've seen on this guitar.
*I'm sure it's a good enough starting point.* I will convert the one I ordered over to 24-frets by installing a bigsby and a rolling saddle bridge piece that slides on a wood base so it can accommodate the 25.5" spacing required. I just scored a 24-fret maple vine inlay neck on a bid for 32 bucks delivered off Ebay. I get it, some people have serious complaints about this particular model, but at under $150, I almost always expect to be completing rebuilding those guitars straight out of the box. I'm a shred and sweep symphonic style player and an engineer so I have a huge advantage over others and so, my opinion of what's high quality and what's not shatters images and offends egos lol. *I've rebuilt $65 Glarrys to the point of routing bridge pockets and installing a 2-point floating tremolo after mass mods including thinning the neck by easily 1/4" lol.* Bottom line is I have 0.6mm action on the 24th fret on both E strings, no buzz, a beautiful looking instrument and it sounds amazing. *Out of the box, most anything for $65 has 1/4" action at the 12th fret just to be playable lol* You gave a fair review and I'm certain it's a great project guitar.
They advertise a 12" speaker? Where do they hide that? Lol
@@Straydogger What? No way lol. That's hilarious.
Mine is better than finder. Perfect.
@@ontherockofchrist They are great. I've changed my stance since then.
Not enough bass response in that amp sim,sounds as bad as the cheap Marshall I bought used,has that annoying thin transistor sounding grit .
@@GuitarDaze2023 Hard to capture withmy phone's camera. It might not sound like a tube amp but for a $70 mini amp it sounds pretty nice!
I bought the same guitar. The pickups were really weak @ 5.12 Bridge/ 4.72 Neck. Being so low didnt help since they couldn't be brought up higher. New foam, and longer screws were needed, but I had issues sourcing them. The pocket, and neck angle was so far off that it took 2 wood shims to straighten. The tuners alip constantly while turning. I had 8 high frets, so it needed a fret level. It required so much work that it's still sitting in the closet for almost a year. I'm just glad that I paid only $70. I did hear that the Thinline & Strat Styles were better quality, but I'm not buying another GearIt ever again.
Very Cool, Thankyou Raf. Such an Awesome Amp. I have had a JOYO Jam Buddy for a few years now and No-one has showed this amazing little amp ANY love for years since release really, shame. Now suddenly 5 reviews in a week from my 'sub' Channels ..... quite a few years after it's release.... LOL. Joyo "Re-Launch"?? hahaha. The Re-Chargeability/Battery Life of this Amp is an AMAZING Feature and often gets over-looked in reviews..... Great Sound, Great Features, Great Portability/Accessibility etc. So Awesome. All the Best. Cheers
@@GRBAquatics I think so many folks are so bought into some of the newer tech that great quality 'older' tech like these often gets overlooked.
nice brother i dig it \../
@@ed_diaz_shredz Thanks bro, appreciate it!
Sounds cool man nice to see the PRS great top on that one also my 2009 SE Singlecut is still going strong great guitars for sure!
@@markdoolan3424 Yeah this SE just has a special place in my collection. They're reliable work horses!
I caved and bought this lol
@@johnnythompson6379 You'll def like it!
That sounds much better than I expected
@@johnnythompson6379 It's a neat little unit!
Great review Raf! That little amp sounds really good!
It really does!
One thing about all the firefly's I have (3 of them) is that the NECK is FAT, baseball type.... so if you don't like fat necks, beware.... I find most reviews about these fireflys seem to conveniently omit this rather crucial detail.... am I the only one noting this ??
@@mickeymessstudios109 I don't think I've ever felt this way about any of the Fireflies I've owned (15 plus or so). This one had the same profile and size as a Gibson 60s profile which is pretty typical in singlecuts. It might be the specific models you have and the variation/version of them. (Firefly seems to pump out new models and versions of each guitar they have every week.) I did review an excellent guitar from the 3 Brothers brand that had a super thick neck. Same size as a 50s profile LP which def falls under the baseball bat category.
Greaqt review and questions answered! Cheers Brother! Nice chops too man!
@@kirbyjakescarborough4515 Thanks for the kind words man!
Fast-forward one year, and I just bought this exact guitar for $279.00. It turns out you predicted the future.
I think the fit and finish on this guitar is better than some more expensive guitars in the thousand dollar rsnge
@@kenpg31 I 100% agree with you! It's an amazingly well crafted guitar.Hard to believs the build quality at that price
I just received mine the other day and I love it ,I have the headless and the Strat style Eart and they are really good too so I knew I would love this one.
Sorry about your health issues. Glad you're back. I greatly enjoy your channel.
Welcome back
