Really impressive. I feel like the black hardware and white pickups are incongruent, but other than that it looks great! The only concern I have is that they sent it to you at request, so there is that thought that they may have preinspected it and sent you a ringer, but other reviews online are positive too! Looks like a great deal! 🤘🤘
As silly and impractical microphonic pickups may be, one of my favorite episodes of '60 Cycle Hum' is the one where you sang into the microphonic pickups at the end. It just ended up being a really solid well played bit. I still listen to the end of that video occasionally.
That is standard strat wiring, no bridge tone. I usually do bridge tone 2, n+m tone 1. Or master tone 1 and blender tone 2. Another great feature of strats is the almost endless variety of wiring.
That first Fesley you demoed looks like an ESP I had years ago. I think I posted on that video that I got a strat kit guitar from Fesley and it was really good. Pre-finished body, nice feeling neck, shaped headstock with subtle branding. Even the composite material they used for the fingerboard looks and feels nice. The 3-tone sunburst looks great. I put a cheap eBay neck on it because those are good enough now that it makes me think twice about buying from the major parts suppliers. Got an aged yellow loaded pickguard with alnicos and pressed steel saddles. Put vintage kluson style locking tuners on it. It looks like a vintage pre-CBS Strat but with some modern conveniences.
I've got that Fesley guitar, in black though. I'm only at 1:40, but I hope yours came with fewer issues than mine. Mine needed a lot of neck work to make it decent. Playable out of the box, but only just.
@@60CycleHumcast The fret ends were sharp (like digging into my hand sharp) and the back of the neck was rough like sandpaper. Plus, when I went to round off the fret ends, the frets weren't level. Not far out, but almost every single fret was a different height.
I have realised in the past couple of years that I prefer ceramic pups on strats. I like the brighter, twangier sound and it cuts through on lead breaks. With a little dirt they really spank. But I also prefer SSS to HSS. Maybe Fesley will pop that out in the future.
I love my fesley guitars I have 2 fesley acoustic guitars a standard cutaway acoustic and dreadnought 12 string electric acoustic and I absolutely love both of them I will say I did change the tuners and strings on both of them to Guyker locking tuners and D'Addario acoustic guitar strings but that was mainly for my own preference really not because I had to change them All in all great guitars PS: I also got a fesley dreadnought 12 string electric acoustic guitar for a wedding gift for my friend and he hasn’t changed anything on it and he absolutely loves it and it sounds great so I can attest that even stock the 12 sting fesley acoustic guitars sound great
Great review! It's too bad that these crazy prices aren't available in Canada for the most part. However, I did somehow find an even better deal than that. I grabbed a Donner DJC-1000S for $168CAD ($190 with tax). For reference, that's only $116USD ($132 with tax)! Now, to be fair, the first one sent had a warped neck and I had to send it back but the second one seems to be a keeper. I stretched the strings, set the string height, set the intonation and she plays beautifully. I also love that it's a semi-hollow with an F-hole that actually works. Acoustically, I can do a "WHA-WHA-WHA-WHA" sound with my hand over the F-hole after strumming a G-chord. For (the equivalent of) $132USD, I truly believe that I got the best Amazon deal that any Canadian could ever hope for.
I think that the thread sealing tape is a good idea. I just spend $8 on a pack of trem bar springs and I just threw a spring in the trem screw hole, then you just screw it in and the spring gives the tension you need for it to stay where you want it. The good part is that it won’t be a mess when you need to clean out the threads from teflon tape junking up the threads.
I don’t care if those pickup magnets are made of tin, bronze, or aluminiumalin, they sound friggin’ fantabulous. Clear, crisp, crystalline, and articulate (at least in the clean settings where I live). I must say I’m impressed. I think it’s because it’s pink.
I tried to buy one of the LP's based on your video through Amazon. It shipped and sat in their warehouse with tracking showing it would deliver two days in a row and it never got dispatched. I canceled it and it took ten days to get my refund. Now I'm gun-shy to try and order it again.
Being a bassist I really hope they start putting out some basses. I am very impressed with all the vids I've watched. I'd like to pick up a Fesley to replace my Ibanez Gio 6 string. I'd like to see it in seafoam green. Maybe some day.
The not present gunk in the routing is on the manufacturer. A matte finish would require just as much buffing compound. A gloss finish needs a lower grit to achieve the sheen is all. Good on fesley!
Unison bends! You play two notes say 3rd fret on B and 5th fret on G, you only bend the G and only the G until it’s the same pitch as the B and now you have a new technique for your blues dad riffing
True! BUT that's only until they're stretched enough to allow the centre spring to take tension, then all three will act together as one. At that point the whammy bar will become harder to push. This means there is a variable spring rate built-in to the mechanism. If you were to shorten the middle spring and lengthen the outer ones then for the first part of the travel you'd only be pushing against one spring and have a lighter action at first, stiffening up lots more as you push deeper. By playing with different lengths, and strengths, of springs, you could precisely tune the 'whammy' to suit the way you play, for a more progressive feel you could use 'variable rate' springs. WOW! It's almost like the inventor/designer/engineer made it like that on purpose! But if they didn't, then they're dumb and obviously should've thought about it more, rather than just 'Luck' into it! {pun intended}. 🤣🤣
I bought one about 5 months ago, I was impressed with the fit and finish, and the setup was spot on, I of course opted to switch pickups out, supposedly they are made in the factory that makes fender , least that's what I've heard
Contrary to urban legend, there is no “factory that makes Fender” except for the US and Mexican Fender-owned factories. In China / other parts of “Asia” there are many / several, none owned by Fender.
@@hughschick6847 sure but there’s lot of factories that oem squier and other brands for fender. It kinda doesn’t matter most of the time because brands order different specs and factories deliver those specs. It’s doesn’t mean every guitar from a factory will have similar specs or quality.
Ryan, have you ever played a KAPA Continental from the 60's? They are the perfect first electric for younger smaller hands , but you can play it for life due to it's full scale neck and great sounding humbuckers. I got a used blood red Continental in 1981 from my brother for Christmas. I'd played acoustic for two years already at that point and I'd just assumed all electrics had that same ultra low action. It felt great to play, so I put thousands of hours on that guitar. It had a Jaguar type tremolo that I loved to play the strings behind the bridge and do light bends with the heel of my picking hand.
Check out the Tease Guitars Strat style ST-2 sub $200 guitar. Better components, fit, finish , fretwork and set up than the lower priced “ brand” guitars. Unlike most budget guitars these guitars need NOTHING!❤
all you need to do is put in a tiny spring in the hole before inserting the wiggle stick, fender sells them, and I am sure you can get them in X amounts for very little elsewhere. save the tape for a booboo in the kitchen.
I’ve tried the springs and they aren’t as good as the tape. Also that’s not sticky tape it plumbers Teflon tape. Try it sometime. It costs like $1 at your local hardware store and one roll should last you a decade.
I took a long break from playing guitar, like 20 years, but I need a new hobby, . So weird that your video popped up, I'm driving home from work knowing that my 350 sunburst was delivered today and waiting for me when I get home
@@timnimigean8971 The video made me more excited to get this thing opened and playing and everything seems like the video. Nothing to complain about. Playing through a small vox practice amp and happy with everything. Then I was inspecting in a little closer after I got some pent up riffs out of my system and my wife telling me to turn it off (some things never change lol) I noticed that the stings line up when looking down on them at the neck pickup... But down at the bridge... They are in at low e but by the time you get to high e, the pick up isn't sitting directly under the string. It's noticably off It doesn't look like I can adjust the bridge at all to make them line up. I'll be contacting them today.
Just a quick question. You reviewed the Bad Cat acrylic guitar. How come that guitar is no longer for sale either from Amazon or Bad Cat? I would love to pick one up but can't.
Wiwbnice and light.Ryan seriously though on the third knob deal i dont use it much but some times i look for a bit of sustain out of a humbucker but look to darken it up a bit if you can make sense of that lol i tend to do that with the neck aswell more when im doing ambient stuff. Great review though im really into these affordable guitars now days .i really wish some one would do reviews on bachuss global series im in canada and never see them .a bit under the radar but man they are good looking guitars with some interestung specs havw a boo at em Ryan Thanks Tim from canada.
I bought one of these, unfortunately the whole neck came with hurtful fret sprouts. If it was a few, I could have file them down, but it was most of the frets which would take too much time to work on. So I returned it. It may just be my bad luck. The setup of the guitar was great, it fact the greatest I have ever received. Action is low. The pickups are hot, I love the sound. Too bad the fret sprouts really bothered me. I may give it another try.
Reminds me very much of my second guitar (very early 90s) which was some sort of Washburn. it had the fattest , most biting sound but the ugly pickup holes weighed on me too much to keep it. I regret getting rid, but I was not yet a metal player at the time, and I really wanted an SG because I was buying with my eyes. The Fesley range is not available here in the UK (just for passer-by reference)
The prettiest guitares ever were washburn idols , my first was a Wei-45 just a sweet peice of axe I’ll never get rid of., now I’ve got 20 gs & basses but the washburn was my first &. Fav.
I wanna hear that Vintera II again!! Very entertaining would be a shootout with that against the Classic Vibe Bass VI......I can hear Dick Dale with monster gage....I have to wonder if he tried these.
I was interested in the esp eclipse clone and then they came out with a camo one I kinda want to try it. I don’t know about the pepto pink but I kinda like it but I’ve been developing an appreciation for ugly guitars I’ve even came around to the SG shape a little more recently I must be getting old. I’d still say the Iceman is my favorite shape because it strikes the perfect balance of extreme yet classy at the same time.
people keep asking if it can be polished. I might have to give it a go if i have free time in the near future. The finish feels very thin so i wonder if it would bite through before going glossy.
Like that shellish pink. Don't like the black hardware. Would go chrome/nickle realistically, or white ideally. Like the bright pickups. I have a dark amp, I think bright strings/pickups/fretboards sound better into amp overdrive, or pedal overdrive or pedal distortion... I like a sizzly light breakup in the high mids. I'd buy this guitar if I had money.
If this guitar existed when I was buying my first guitar, I would of bought one no doubt. I bought my 60's Vintera Strat MIM for $600 and this seems to be just as quality. Could of gotten a nicer amp because I was using a real cheap amp until I got my JC and your amp really makes the difference more than your guitar. I own a $200 Teisco for comparison that I run through that amp and I really can attest to those who say it's better to buy a nice amp than guitar. I really like the branding. Make's it seem like a non cheap guitar and the name Fesley sounds like a last name like a Fender. Harley Benton is the only affordable guitar brand that has that rock-able name.
Yeah but you couldn’t tell none of us that in the beginning we all thought we needed whatever guitar we wanted and we would play it through whatever we could get our hands on or rig up . My first amp was a gorilla and my step dad thought it sounded so good he bought me a used rockman off a coworker and I figured out how to run the rockman through my bookshelf stereo and he was defeated once again haha .
Totally different build style. I’d put them in the top of the pack with what I’ve experienced from guitars in the sub $300 price range. Slightly bellow eart and above grotes, indos, etc. I don’t typically rate things though so I’m not putting a lot of mental energy into to these comparisons lol. But yeah, if you want a traditional style Gibson build these guitars will disappoint you. But then why are you window shopping sub $200 guitars?
Interesting that they only really make 2 electric guitars. They have other names for some of the models but the only thing that seemed different was the neck and an offensive headstock. Likely to their benefit to have limited models that way they can, if they care, put more focus into them not being absolute trash.

Just here to tell you, you need more than two Princetons.
And I think Landon says hi, and he’s borrowing your Hoop Jumper idea
You need more than two Princetons, Ryan!!
If this guitar existed when I was buying my first guitar, I would of bought one no doubt. I bought my 60's Vintera Strat MIM for $600 and this seems to be just as quality. Could of gotten a nicer amp because I was using a real cheap amp until I got my JC and your amp really makes the difference more than your guitar. I own a $200 Teisco for comparison that I run through that amp and I really can attest to those who say it's better to buy a nice amp than guitar. I really like the branding. Make's it seem like a non cheap guitar and the name Fesley sounds like a last name like a Fender. Harley Benton is the only affordable guitar brand that has that rock-able name.
Yeah but you couldn’t tell none of us that in the beginning we all thought we needed whatever guitar we wanted and we would play it through whatever we could get our hands on or rig up . My first amp was a gorilla and my step dad thought it sounded so good he bought me a used rockman off a coworker and I figured out how to run the rockman through my bookshelf stereo and he was defeated once again haha .
hey Ryan, u need more than 2 princetones
You need more than two Princetons. And then you need to give one away. 😊 Thanks in advance!
You said the Fesley was a great guitar. Can you compare it to a Gibson Les Paul? Is it better?
Totally different build style. I’d put them in the top of the pack with what I’ve experienced from guitars in the sub $300 price range. Slightly bellow eart and above grotes, indos, etc. I don’t typically rate things though so I’m not putting a lot of mental energy into to these comparisons lol. But yeah, if you want a traditional style Gibson build these guitars will disappoint you. But then why are you window shopping sub $200 guitars?
Thanks for the reply dude. You’re one of the few guitar RUclipsrs that actually reply to my questions. Thank you!
Now try a Fazley Outlaw Maverick HH Plus, with roasted maple neck, nubone nut, dual humbuckers for about 160 bucks. By BAX.
Pleeease? ;)
Ryan you need more Princetons.
These are older models they came out with several new superstrat models.
But, does it drip?
A couple wraps of plumber's tape... proceeds to apply 12 wraps or so 😂
I should have kept going. Used the whole roll.
I have a fender dobro with that style neck joint and it has the same missed paint under the board but it's way worse on the fender......
A super strat has the bridge run with no tone control just like eddies frankenstrat the original super strat. fesley pickups use alnico V magnets
hi, I'm in France and it's impossible for me to buy these guitars which don't look too bad
Never gonna do it without the Fesly on....
It's called "nut butter", which doesn't sound any more polite than "liquid lube".
You need more then 2 Princetons!
You can never have enough Princetons Amps. 😎
You definitely need more than two Princetons!
Jet guitar is similar
Interesting that they only really make 2 electric guitars. They have other names for some of the models but the only thing that seemed different was the neck and an offensive headstock. Likely to their benefit to have limited models that way they can, if they care, put more focus into them not being absolute trash.
