Hey Josh! Loved the video. I really like the comedic aspect you bring to your reviews. So excited to watch your channel grow. I'll definitely be along for the ride. Keep on shredding!!
Everyone is going to have their "granted opinion" . WE ALL live out our lives until the inevitable happens . Thanks to the 'feed' and me viewing the 'Scarred' videos , you have another loyal subscriber . Cheers mate from Australia . PS : There was nothing in that vid that made me cringe . Thumbs up 👍
Man, only two videos in and it's getting better and better all the time!!! Lovin this, muchacho! Can't wait for the next one! There's even a newer bundle with a distortion effects pedal!
Cool vid, love the concept. I’m playing two guitars outta the box since last September and October, haven’t even changed the strings yet! Keep up the great vids!! 👍🎸
Looks good... Love Black Guitars & White Guitars... Actually Paulownia Wood the weight is lighter than Bass Wood 🪵 and similar TONE characteristics to Swamp Ash. If you buy into BS about Tone Wood in an electric guitar. Acoustical Guitars yes. Although you mentioned that wood you associated it with China.. Actually See Kiesel Guitar Co. Among others that use it. Sophie Lloyd Signature Sieres uses it. I don't want a boat anchor ⚓ around my neck while playing. Indian Laurel is actually similar to ebony wood. However faster growing thus it's considered 💚 GREEN. Companies can get GREEN 💚 Credits for being green LOWER TAXES .. etc... Awesome SHREDDING..
Thanks for the great video and guitar review! I struggled building a Sonic Blue Strat for twice the money and stress. Now I can get them for $140. Wow. That guitar sounds great!
Check out the EART SSS Strat when it goes on sale usually for around $175. In my opinion the best budget strat you can get. Stainless steel frets, roasted maple neck, bone nut, mahogany body, very good hardware and some of the best fretwork in the business.
Great video, excellent editing and you are entertaining and a great picker. I really loved how broad your scope is on demonstrating that guitar's tones. No doubt you love shredding but you have the rare common sense to play some clean tones as well. I don't subscribe to many channels but you deserve a sub. Your friendly, fun and likeable personality is a rare thang in a world of egotistical snobs. Great job, great video. Best wishes on your channel.
After all the hate I received for that video.. your remarks made all the hard work worth it. Took days of lots of physical pain to make this video. Really grateful for your support
@@StraightOutOfTheBox Wow! I wasn't aware of the negativity. !!! What were the complaints? ( If I may ask) You really seem friendly and you played a really wide variety of styles that demonstrated that guitar quite well. And as a plus you are entertaining and humorous. I don't want to get all preachy but frankly I felt blessed to find a down to earth picker on yoootooob. I am mostly retired from the road now but you'd be a fun cat to gig with. You seem like an actual guy who could legitimately play a gig rather than some bedroom geek.
@@StraightOutOfTheBox btw, it is amazing how God can use a mean ol': road dog like me to encourage a young picker. His timing is always perfect. Blessings Joshua.
C'mon man, I ain't made of money. If I keep buying these guitars you're reviewing... I'll still have money for beer! Excellent vid, and review and somebody at amazon really needs to pay you because you are absolutely selling the crap out of these beasts. Thanks for your hard work and humor.
Hey Josh. I understand your love of a good deal. Amps and guitars are a bit different, though. I would do some research about the common issues with that specific model and the minute it is out of warranty take it to an amp tech for some possible mods that will improve performance and long term health before anything goes wrong. Those budget tube amps (bugera are known for budget tube, more than ss so I'm assuming) are always built in the cheapest, most over packed, most likely to live well only until the end of the warranty and then all bets are off.
Got this one based on your review.....sadly mine wasn't setup 😢. At least 3 frets are high. All strings were set super high on the saddles & the neck had a concave bow in it. Maybe my expectations were too high idk.
Really cool video and demo. Liked the visit to a tech for an eye check. Same deal in Canada is $418.75 CAD, The equivalent of $309.50 US. As usual, Canadians being ripped off by guitar companies. Too bad as it's interesting.
So Josh do you like this guitar better than the taxon seems like it sounds better but I don't know what you're using when you do your songs at the end That are pretty sick by the way
Yo! Do you plan on doing any upgrade videos? Would be cool to see you do some upgrades on the yellow and white one. Like things you feel you would change to get it playing like an expensive guitar. I mean you do have a pick up connection. Lol
I have one of those amps same brand it's good for what it is but the Bluetooth doesn't work on mine it didn't.Alot of Amazon reviews also state this other than that it's a good amp.
Added a aodsk to my cart...hope mine is as good as yours. I also want a Donner dst 400 & the dst 700. I ordered another guitar u recommended. It should be here no later then Monday or Tuesday. I really want a 2 point trem though... all I could find real fast with a 2 point trem was the donner 400. Just under $300.
I hate them also give that strat to Sean and have him do a great job and put some of Kathy's kick butt pickups in it and you will have a awsome guitar them scared pickups are sounding awesome but you already new that great review 👍
That's cool as Hell that you took it into Guitar Center for "official spec" approval. Looks Good - Sounds Excellent....Just as good as Any Squire out there, only a Much More affordable pricepoint! Yeah, I would say Fender has something to worry about now.
I'd like to see a Telecaster with traditional style single coil pickups, but with a tremolo. The bridge pickup with the half Tele bridge'pickup mount would be real nice. If there is anything like that, please let me know.
Somebody makes those half Tele pup mounts that accommodate a trem, I've seen them. Vegatrem has them. I've got the Schecter Sun Valley Shredder PT FR-S in mind, that'll take care of all my needs !!!@@StraightOutOfTheBox
I agree on off Brand guitars, I have a off Brand Tele, had a couple Fender Tele player series, sold them both❗😎 It would take a lot for me to part with my Amer. late 90's Fender Strat ⁉️ but time will tell❗😎
Hey Josh I liked your video, great shredding, I went on Amazon and said what the hell let me try it out , nothing to lose , I got the same color, and for any reason I don't like it, hey it's Amazon. I'll keep you posted.
I got my pacifica 112J for $139 (only the guitar) and right now this full-set beginner package with amp, cables, picks, capo, tuners etc included costs the same price wth 😂
I would never buy a guitar like that, but that's because I don't like 6-screw vibratos. Yes, I have one, but I have no need for more. That said, I believe that your axe's headstock is the very same as the ones on my 2 Donners. I figure both guitars were made by the same factory. That would explain the high quality, as my Donners have both been modified -- but only cosmetically. I also have one of the world's cheapest neck through guitars, and all I did to turn it into a great player was straighten the neck a bit!
@@StraightOutOfTheBox Hey, my most beautiful guitar is a 2003 Schecter C-1 Elite, which features a TOM-style bridge with string through ferrules. Blessed was I the day I got that axe!
Well done sir. Doing the Lord's work, reviewing all of the guitars STRAIGHT OUT THE BOX so we will know if it's hot or not!!! That wood grain was rather tantalizing... Hey, I think that was a missed opp at the end. You should have had a fan blowing your hair back on the close up cam - maybe throw on some make-up - then it could really be glam/hair metal from the 80's. 🤘😎I for one, wouldn't mind at all playing this axe. Hey, if it rips, it rips, when it's in the right hands. I'd give that amp away to some kid that needs it - not fantastic. But as long as it shreds and has a good setup, it's a good guitar. "If it sounds good, it is good..." - EVH Hit that like, subscribe, and that bell, ya BONE HEADS! Also, just a ponderous question... Why do all Amazon/Chinese guitars insist on having names that nobody knows how to pronounce? I guess vowels cost extra, like on wheel of fortune.
I'll lose faith in humanity if you don't start getting promo demo contracts for mustache wax /mustache trimmer companies like the "Bald Shredder " guitar channel got for for head razors
My experience with Guitar Center techs, They're assholes & don't know what they're doing. I've to redo shoddy repair work on my sons guitars. This video has told me nothing about this guitar other than he likes it.

The added bonus is the checkerboard strap! It looks like it might be decent. Groovy
That's crazy how well it was set up for an Amazon guitar.
Right! Not even the ones on the wall of Sam ash are set up
Man, only two videos in and it's getting better and better all the time!!!
Lovin this, muchacho! Can't wait for the next one!
There's even a newer bundle with a distortion effects pedal!
Cool vid, love the concept. I’m playing two guitars outta the box since last September and October, haven’t even changed the strings yet!
Keep up the great vids!!
👍🎸
Yeah, recently got a Leo Jaymes and the strings are just fine. Guitar is even intonated.
Great review and incredible playing!
I love your videos! You seem like a genuine guy and giving your honest opinions will maintain your fan base for a long time. Keep ‘em coming, man.
Wow dude. You’re killing it! 7 videos and already almost 1000 subs. Well done. Subbed and a fan.
I love the machete bit. Pure comedy. Guitar tech approved. Keep these awesome videos coming, bro.
Great sounding Guitar & for $20. More it comes bundled with a Pedal, Not Bad at all...
Thank You Josh for the review, As Always Rock On Brother !!!
This thing is spanky! Thank you, Glad you could make it Johny. 🤘
Nice looking guitar. And it sounds pretty good! Cool video sir!
You’re 100% right. Tony’s balls to the wall and looks beautiful.
You're doing brilliant my man! Keep it up! 😀👍
Another great vid! 😎👌

Another nice guitar in my price range, and Man, can you make it sound great! Keep them coming Josh!
Great video. Hey what was that metal riff you were playing?

My Auriga came setup the same, but I changed the bridge and put locking tuners on it. That was only $80 and they sold out FAST.
I've been looking at these on Amazon now I'm sold going to get one soon.
I have been using the same Strat plus from the early 90s :) never felt I needed to replace it

I've been making videos for four years on YT and I have to say that that was a good opening for an unboxing/review video.
Just found your channel! Excellent stuff! Subbed. 🤘😎🤘🎸

Yow!!
Not cool. Squeezing every penny.. it’s not like most entry level guitarist have money. Shocking thanks for sharing that,, didn’t know
Yo Josh. Salud from P. pines. Great review.
Does that P stand for Pembroke? Grateful you came for the ride!
Great video Josh awesome riff’s can’t believe the price
So Josh do you like this guitar better than the taxon seems like it sounds better but I don't know what you're using when you do your songs at the end That are pretty sick by the way
Yo! Do you plan on doing any upgrade videos? Would be cool to see you do some upgrades on the yellow and white one. Like things you feel you would change to get it playing like an expensive guitar. I mean you do have a pick up connection. Lol
Yeah , but , the Fesley is "ELECRATRIC"
i love the reaction of the guitar tech

I have one of those amps same brand it's good for what it is but the Bluetooth doesn't work on mine it didn't.Alot of Amazon reviews also state this other than that it's a good amp.
First time on your Chanel,I joyed it cheep up the good work!
Added a aodsk to my cart...hope mine is as good as yours. I also want a Donner dst 400 & the dst 700. I ordered another guitar u recommended. It should be here no later then Monday or Tuesday. I really want a 2 point trem though... all I could find real fast with a 2 point trem was the donner 400. Just under $300.
Donner is a great entry level instrument. Always recommend them to beginner students
Glad I could help!
You can’t go wrong with the Donner DST400. Great guitar. I’ve owned two of them. eBay carriers refurbed.
Really digging this vibe, great lil axe ,I might bite the bullet and pick one up
I hate them also give that strat to Sean and have him do a great job and put some of Kathy's kick butt pickups in it and you will have a awsome guitar them scared pickups are sounding awesome but you already new that great review 👍
I'm hoping to get one when I get paid thanks for the info 😊
Hello from Florida, good luck with your channel.
@ 10:11 you start with the clean tones and the sound is extremely Eric Johnsonesgue. So much for the EJ Strat. BTW EJ Strat cost: $2449.99
My squire was $200 and they half assed my fret job and it didn’t come with all the other gadgets :/
Fender needs to tighten up!
What is this electric guitar name
You found the home run!!!
💯💯💯
Sweet cheap guitar, and if you want to blow away Fender's custom shop guitars for less than half the price - Shijie STE classic...............cheers!
First!
That's cool as Hell that you took it into Guitar Center for "official spec" approval. Looks Good - Sounds Excellent....Just as good as Any Squire out there, only a Much More affordable pricepoint! Yeah, I would say Fender has something to worry about now.
SUBBED TODAY!!
🤘🏻🐺
Glad someone appreciated that! Drove to the store twice to make it happen.
Very grateful you watched this video!
Really digging that cheap gig bag ! ( Few of my fenders didn't have a good one like that !! Lol seriously)
Yup you got caught polishing your axe! # guitar😊
For the price that is sick
You can say that again! Appreciate you watching this video
Great video Josh
Never look an included gift capo in the mouth. Great stocking stuffer for the acoustic players.
I'd like to see a Telecaster with traditional style single coil pickups, but with a tremolo. The bridge pickup with the half Tele bridge'pickup mount would be real nice. If there is anything like that, please let me know.
Creative idea would probably sound awesome. Ask Sean if it’s possible
Somebody makes those half Tele pup mounts that accommodate a trem, I've seen them. Vegatrem has them. I've got the Schecter Sun Valley Shredder PT FR-S in mind, that'll take care of all my needs !!!@@StraightOutOfTheBox

Why white? Wouldn't the blue one sound better?
I let my ninja senses take control
It is an undeniable fact the blue sounds better
