I just bought another used guitar with undisclosed damage. Exhausting and upsetting. Such a shame! This should be a PRS Santana style guitar. Made by Stagg. It's a Stagg R500. Nice if it was playable!

PRS Unboxing Disaster | Broken Guitar Epic Fail.
All joking aside, for the money this is the finest guitar I have ever played that is around $1,000. Absolutely fantastic. PRS knocked it out of the park with this one. For a guitar with a wide- fat neck it plays and fits my hand very well. This axe is worth every penny
Very true. Amazing guitar! You might enjoy the 1 year update I did on it too: ruclips.net/video/TBXLFiXNPPc/видео.htmlsi=on8ppWaqssebdEo3
First off that's got to be safer than simply putting it in a cardboard box with a little packing. And second I would of already assumed I was going to restring and replace the nut. Would you be disappointed if it had no strings at all? Feel cheated? I would of been surprised if a used guitar I bought came with strings!
Well, the strings thing is ok. The broken nut is not. It takes a bit of skill and time to replace it properly. If it had been disclosed, all good. It wasn't. Just means I've got to do it when I can or pay someone else. Thankfully the seller took responsibility and it's all good. More videos coming up on this one. Keep rockin'
That packaging is crazy! Fortunately pre-slotted nuts are relatively inexpensive. I bought a Gibson Challenger I a few years ago that arrived in a flimsy gig bag flopping around inside of a Charvel box--miminal padding in the box. Fortunately for me it arrived undamaged. It had a couple of strings wound the wrong way around the posts, too.
Wow, I'm glad it worked out ok for you.
Never send a guitar like that without relaxing the tension on the strings or removing them altogether.
You get what you pay for
As long as the listing is honest...
I got this exact model. Those pickups sound really warm. ❤️
Thank goodness that it was only a broken nut .
Shipping guitars in a box is so 2023,get with the times man! Companies and private sellers can't be bothered with actually putting stuff in a box,they gotta worry about profit margins...
Junk!
It will be a gem by the time I'm finished with it :).
Who are you buying your guitars from? I have seen nothing like that on your video, and I have bought over a dozen guitars in the past 4 years.
Various places. This guy realised and corrected his mistake. All good in the end. I'll be doing more videos on this one. After the inital upset I can see this guitar has a lot of potential... with quite a bit of work!
I think your knife is broken
It's better than the spoon I was going to use.
i have a much older model. its this guitar, but instead of saying special II it says gibson. what is it?
Hmm... sounds like it could be a Gibson Les Paul Special - from the front it looks very similar apart from having x4 knobs instead of x2 on this one. If it is that, it is one nice guitar! I recently reviewed my own Gibson Les Paul Faded which is a lovely beast... it might be something along these lines, but in white: ruclips.net/video/x1Ev381GUVY/видео.htmlsi=I4qY6m8Zb85U4nfT
@@appetiteforguitar it also says ephiphone lol. it has 2 knobs
No, but what a crazy idea to send a guitar like that...😱
The frets look nice from my perspective, doesn't appear to have been played much?
Well, I think it's had quite a life in a very rough smoke den lol. It's been banged about a bit and smells of old tobacco in the cavities. Lavender and fresh air is sorting the smell thankfully. So it's been used... but you are right though the frets are a bit corroded, but are actually barely worn - they seem in great condition with some TLC. My guess is the previous owner had it, mucked about with it and jumped around with their mates. I can feel from the neck and the general build that it is a great guitar waiting to be unleashed. I'll put the time in as I can. I might even refinish it, put in some Seymour Duncans and Hipshot tuners I have sitting unused from other guitars. More videos incoming, stay tuned! 🎸😎
If you’re that gullible I’ve got a Les Paul Custom I’ll sell you for only $200!🤣🤣🤣
Ah... if I was gullible I would have let it slide. A misleading listing is not good, against trading standards and they knew it. They put things right thankfully... I'll get it fixed up. Keep rockin' 😎
Not bad for cheapy.
Hilarious
Love the mask !!
They sent it in a garbage bag.
First....always new strings. I have never bought any guitars with good or new strings on. New nut....easy job if you have a little experience and the tools. A pain if not. Does it play well now?
Thanks for tuning in, I've got to spend a few hours on it to put it right. The foundations seem pretty solid. It's got a nice neck and feel to it. More videos incoming!
Heres a tip .get a new blade in that sodding knife.
It's actually pretty sharp but that packaging was also pretty thick... so they did something right at least.
I know right lol when you find yourself using the sawing technique with a boxcutter the blade is toast.
That's a sorry excuse for packaging a guitar for shipping.
For my maple neck I use Dr Duck Ax Wax ....my rosewood I use oil for rosewood. Personally I would clean the frets before the fretboard
You send a guitar in a box, you don't send it like that.
What's wrong with that??? If you got it cheap, good buy. So it is a little project guitar. That makes it fun. It will be a nice player for you. Congrats. BTW, that chord is E 2nd position.
Thanks, true... it can be fixed with skills/time/patience. But the damage was not disclosed by the seller, so not cool. Having said that, it's all good now - the seller made things right and I'm going to get this fixed up one way or another. The guitar itself actually has very solid bones - with TLC it's going to be great. Re the chord, I'll take your word for it lol - it was the only fingering I could find quickly that sounded ok with the wonky tuning I had to do. I'll be posting more videos on the guitar so stay tuned :).
black nail varnish build up layers and go through grits to blend but should not be there if not mentioned
Great advice, yes I've used nail polish so far and I need to go through sanding. Time and patience...
The seller broke the nut wrapping the e string backwards. The nut can be fixed but, stupid can not...
Very true
buy garbage get garbage
With some TLC it might just be ok...
So spend $3 on a new nut & $6 on new strings & fix it. What are you complaining about ?
The labour to do the nut and a full set up is going to take some time... but more than that, no mention was made on the listing. Not great. It'll be ok though.
Not ok whatsoever. Dishonest seller for not mentioning. You’d have to find a nut that has the same string spacing or create one from scratch. Also, have to get new strings and set up. I could let the latter slide, but having to find a nut is more of a hassle and then the install as well.
Wood for bonfire
I think I can fix it/get it fixed...
That's not damage that occurred during shipping, the nut is snapped. That was like that when they sent it.
You're absolutely right, they did admit to it... I'll get it fixed up too so it worked out ok in the end.
Why is there masking tape on the back of the neck ?.
It was the just the old price tag thankfully!
A Stagg in a bag with two G strings on. Sketchy.
You get what you pay for.
Yeah, kind of... in this case they hadn't disclosed the damage so it wasn't great. They acknowledged it though and it worked out ok. I still have the guitar and I'll get it fixed up... more videos on that coming up!
Why would you say? YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! And it has nothing to do that it was a second hand guitar! It was a shipping issue! SMH
Did you look through the packaging for the missing chunk of the nut? I had one do that on an Ibanez Artcore while changing strings (just prior to driving half-way across the US to play a fundraiser with some friends). Super glue put it back together and it has held for over a year. I once received a Charvel bass with the end of the headstock snapped off past the tuner for the string tuned to G. Bass was single boxed, seller claimed that they always double boxed instruments. Photos proved otherwise... It's always a risk, but historically, I've had pretty good luck buying and selling online.
It's a shame this one, yes I checked it through. The damage was there prior to shipping and it went undisclosed ,so not great. But they gave a partial refund and so I've kept it and I'll get it fixed up one way or another! More videos on this one incoming.
I don’t buy online…risky business…
It can certainly be hit and miss...
shipping it in a box is so overrated 🤣
Lol, so true...
Back in 1989 when i started playing guitar, the amp that I had was chorus and reverb. As the late 90s gaine don us i was fascinated about the Line 6 because you had clean, crunch and metal. Lets not forget chorus and Delay. Now these amps are dirt cheap on the secondary market. I think for nostalgic reasons these amps are great. I will ve looking for a line 6 spyder head for a cab that was given to me.
What do you think about buying second hand guitars online... worth it or too risky these days?
Only if you can hold them and play them
You need to research each purchase, find out as much as possible, and most importantly, know what kind of questions to ask the Seller. What my GrandMa used to tell me "You only get what you pay for, and that's if you are lucky". Nothing wrong with purchasing used guitars online, I've been doing that since the late 1990s with zero problems. No real need to play before buying, good side photos of the neck, and most importantly, a good close up photo of the truss rod nut (Gibson only). Ask the Seller if the truss rod works, if Seller doesn't understand what you are asking, you shouldn't purchase from them.
It looks decent, have to wait till you get the nut sorted to hear it properly. Hope it's a good one for you!
Thanks! It seems like a great cheap guitar... the foundations are there. Even in its beaten-down state it feels really solid and good in the hand. It's very hard to play right now with old corroded strings/frets and I don't think it's ever had a set up. I'll fix the nut and do a proper review on it. I was going to take it to a luthier - it is going to be a time sink as it needs a fair bit of attention, but I'm going to set aside a few hours and sort it. Lots of interesting videos incoming! Thanks again for watching 😎
The pick guard always makes the les paul look cooler.
I spent most of the vid just enjoying ur accent
It looks like an LP, but it doesn't sound like one at all. Not even close.
I quite like the sound, the main thing for me is replacing the tuners. I'm pretty happy with it otherwise. The Epiphone Les Paul Studio might be more to your liking, my review here: ruclips.net/video/8LzvGIPR4mU/видео.html
I have a pair of Fleor P90s in one of my guitars and love it... so I was after some online review of their humbuckers and honestly after to watch this video I am disappointed.
I think they sound great, but I guess it depends on what you are looking for. It's worth mentioning that so much is down to the recording method. This was simply me with an amp in the room this time. If I went direct into a computer via e.g. Tonex, it would sound different. Also, even the guitar they're put in would make a difference... Keep rockin'
The reviewer goes on about the three piece neck. I have the amber version of this guitar and the back and neck is finished in a lovely red shade which shows the three piece neck and it's gorgeous. Some claim that a two or three piece neck offers improved stability which is a plus. I have to say that I am not a luthier so I am not making this claim but only offering the suggested wisdom of others. It's a fantastic guitar and you will pick them up second hand for less than £750.
The reviewer... yes that's me! I love this guitar. The neck is my favourite part - it feels great. The neck is 'multi-ply' as per their website and they don't specify how many pieces, so it's mostly by sharing info between us we find out how many/if they are consistent. I concur re stability... it should in theory help in that department. The amber version you have is a beauty. I would get one too, but I think my wife would get a bit upset! I may get a DGT at some point for the tremolo though... I recorded a one year update on Paul's guitar here if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/TBXLFiXNPPc/видео.html
Thanks for the video! Can you change effects or presets when you loop?
Yes you can... it is a bit fiddly so you'd most likely need to crouch down to use your hand assuming you're standing up...
Kudos, your video has been a Godsend. I want a.s.a.p. a MIK Les Paul Standard from september of 1993 Samick Plant. Only thing holding me back is not having a clue about what neck profile to expect. Can you/anybody please shed some light?
No worries, glad it is helpful! My x2 Epi Studios are separated by decades, but the neck profiles are really similar despite the years between them and being made in a completely different factory. Hard to say for sure with a 1993 but it's probably not far off. Maybe someone who has one from '93 will chime in...
Gear hound
Beautiful masterpiece. But, where is the taper? The black one?
Yes, a beauty. I took the pickguard off for this short video, but I put it back and did a full review of the guitar here: ruclips.net/video/8LzvGIPR4mU/видео.html
I bought one of the earlier grote jazz guitars a couple years ago and I love it. It's a lovely guitar and a pleasure to play. Seems to me their quality is quite good when you keep the price range in mind. I have two Ibanez art core series guitars (a matching set) and the frets were sharp when I received them.
