Budget guitars have gotten so good now. I remember in the mid 2010s anything under $400 was just asking for trouble. Glad to see there's makers out there that care about the budget segment of the brand.
@@chickenpasta7359 thing is G4M doesn't, this one is a good example cus they knew a RUclipsr was getting it. look at G4M guitar reviews from people who bought the guitars, they're horrible, and not in a playable way, in an unplayable way
For any interested US folks out there, add $90 to every price you see (you can select dollars at the top right corner) as that is how much extra they have to charge for exporting to the US. (it might be a little less/little more, but thats a good average)
UK resident here.... I have 5 G4M guitars (Subzero and Redsub branded) and yes, they are great value......but..... Don't expect them to be finished very well. You'll find things like.... the pickup switch wired the wrong way round.... massive scratches on the fretboard/neck..... digs out of the body... loose output jacks.....If that doesn't bother you then go for it as they are great for the money. Also, prepare for a pickup swap as all of the instruments I have received might as well just have a microphone instead.
Dude, I just bought an 80 pound (!!!) Gear4Music own-brand strat a couple of weeks ago, and it's great! It was already really good when it arrived, even had a decent set-up out of the box. I slapped a Chinesium rail humbucker in the bridge, and some cheap locking tuners, and it's now my go-to 80s shred machine :) It's ridiculous how good cheap guitars are these days.
I bought a Harlem headless which out of the box was unplayable so I did the fretwork reprofiked the neck to a slim c and changed the pick ups for a pair of £32 Vansons and now it's my favourite guitar I only paid £150 for it. If you don't mind doing the work they are fantastic
@@metalcz gear for Music’s website has the brand subzero. It’s the same body, but it has a matching heads stock stainless steel frets lumina a side dots.
@@chickenpasta7359 I loved Rondo. I had a handful of sx and agile's. For the price, they were unbelievable. Kurt posted a message a while ago pretty much stating that Covid and inflation killed them. Total bummer.
I remember learning about G4M ages ago through their Harlem series (it was either a series or a model, but they had this one headless I thought was interesting), the fact you can get an Ash body and those specs for ~$300 instead of something like poplar and a fretboard made from table scraps is a pretty good deal! Also could you please please PLEASE do some NAM/etc captures of The Devil pedal? I would buy them in a heartbeat!
I saw they are running a sale on the fixed bridge version. It's my preference so I picked one up moments ago for $251. After shipping it was $300. It's hard to find a SS fret, fixed bridge, dual humbucker guitar unless you want to pay for something way higher end.
@metalcz It's going back tomorrow. Bridge pickup installed at an angle. Neck not flat in neck joint. Looks like someone got overzealous with the buffing wheel and burned the wood a bit. One of the saddles is stripped. Not a screw. The saddle. Too many issues to keep.
@@metalcz It's a pity, this guitar has a lot of potential. The body and neck feel like they're quality builds. I would ignore the finish issue but the saddle is the biggest issue. They don't have a replacement and I'd have to source my own if I kept it. The neck pocket could be fixed fairly easily I think. They offered to replace it but I don't have confidence a new one would be any better at this point so I asked for a refund. We'll see how that gets handled. If it goes wrong I'll comment. It's being picked up tomorrow.
@@metal1mark73 I didn’t have any tuning issues. Even when I was abusing the whammy. I think that’s a misconception of Floyd rose specials. The biggest issue with the specials is the metal is much softer, and they won’t take nearly as much abuse as an original. That and the fact that I think most people don’t learn how to properly maintain them compounds the myth that specials are “bad”
@TaylorDanley Floyd specials are cheap Chinese made, but 2000 are Korean, and Originals are German made and these 2 last a lot longer. I'm stuck on what to do wdyt? Or maybe just replaced the cheap parts on the floyd special?
I had a Kramer Pacer Classic with a Floyd Rose special. I had zero issues with it. I even floated it so I could go up or down. And that was my FIRST Floyd Rose tremolo. If you take care of it, it’ll be fine.
@@metal1mark73 IME it’s the metals they are made from, not the country of origin (1500 vs original for example are near identical IMO). The first thing to go on those specials that will give you problems are probably the little clamps that hold the string in place and the screws that adjust them. You can replace all the saddles, the block and the springs, but you will likely at some point have issues with the blade edge wearing and either have to file it or replace the whole base… so kinda up to you if you want to slowly replace it piece by piece over the years or just swap it out with an original or pro and call it a day. Again, this is just my experience and also from hammering on them a lot. If you take good care of a special I’m sure you can get a lot of years out of it before you have any issues

@@TaylorDanley Thanks! Do you think there is also a difference in how the sound of the guitar is comparing these two versions? I mean the 529 Pro with and without FR.
The only guitar I bought from Gear4Music, is their budget Headless type at 210€. When I got it, it was dirty AF, so I torn it apart until the last screw, I cleaned full in depth, remade the frets to get them right and shiny, reworked the wood at the top of the neck where the truss rod hole is ..... and now, it's a very cool travel guitar. I like it, but work has to be done to get it right. But this one you got is quite interesting .........
omg i just sold the old version (subzero gen pro fr) of his guitar is was fine but it didnt feel right it was kinda heavy and the floyed kinda sucked imo but cool seeing you review this guitar
Hey Taylor, they also sell a extremly cheap "Warlock" clone guitar called the Harlem X, it also comes with a "Floyd Rose" but its a non name branded one, could be cool if you took a look at that, if its worth getting for your first locking trem guitar... cheers..
The premier music gear store here in the US is Sweetwater and they do not have a house brand of guitars. They do however feature guitars from more affordable brands like Sire, Squier, and Epiphone. These brands are a bit more pricey and do not offer the same quality components as what this does in this price range. What I do not understand is why companies such as Fender, Epiphone, Gibson, etc do not utilize stainless ball end frets? It isn't like it's significantly more expensive and have significantly better wear resistance. The funny thing is that many of these house brand guitars are built in the same facilities that produce the lower end models for Ibanez, Fender, PRS, Gibson, etc. still they come better equipped and at a more budget friendly price. I played a few of the new budget models from Ibanez and Jackson that come out of these same factories and I have to say that while the necks and bodies are well done, the finishing of the frets, the basic setup, and the rest of the hardware on them are garbage. It is sad when a noname brand gets better fretwork, bridges, and better sounding pickups for equal or lesser money.
@TaylorDanley I don’t know if you get the chance to read these all, but dude. Is there Any Way at all that you can get your hands on a Dean ML Multiscale and do a review on it??? I can’t find anything solid on the guitar, it looks wicked AF and your reviews are TopNotch. I personally enjoy your reviews over Ola Englund’s reviews. Can you help a guy out???
Gear4music did one like 6 years ago under their “Subzero” brand (The predecessor of G4M) with EMG 81/85 set for like £300, the cheapest guitar I’ve ever seen that comes with EMG actives stock.
I just got a “new” (used) guitar a few months ago. Dude, I’m gonna have to blame you if (when) more axes start arriving in the mail. I don’t really mean it, I’ll just be trying to avoid getting kiboshed by the wifey… Sounds good though. I’m in the market for a 7 string and a bass…
The only issue with the Floyd Rose Special is quality of the material. The blades and posts tend to chip out develop grooves pretty easily and quickly. As far as doing the thing, totally great, but longevity is not built into them
I agree with this. I think it depends on how hard you are on it as well, at a lower tension they seem to be fine. Once you start beefing up your string gauges and adding tension is where they tend to start having issues IME
Gear4music is very much a mixed bag as far as QC goes. You could either get a guitar that needs a few mods and tweaking for it to work, or it could be completely unusable, so i find it hard to recommend them to beginners unless they can afford to get any potential issues fixed by a luthier
It looks like one of the Kiesel models that were really popular a few years ago. I have kind of gotten away from checking guitar like this out in my old age. Since I turned 40, it has been nothing but guitars that look like furniture. I guess the old ppl were correct when I was younger when they always said, 'your tastes will change'. Sure enough, they have.
Luckly we can buy high speced electric guitars for a good price from this brand or Harley Benton f.ex. But why not other shapes than f.ex super strat or tele. What about something like a warrior, v, ml, lm stealth, iron bird, star with and without floyd rose...
Rondo is pretty budget but where else are you going to get an affordable 8 string fanned fret classical nylon stringed guitar for all your Brahms pieces?
Now do Gear4Music Saturn amp, please? They're reasonably priced for a tube amp (though I know it faces the same import issues) but the Gear4Music demos suck and you can't find anything about them.
@@snakebyte98 @snakebyte98 I'd agree with some of the other models, but Harley Benton doesn't have a 50 watt like the SubZero Saturn-50VR. Maybe the TUBE30 is similar, but a 30 watt, but the Saturn is supposed to be high gain, and the TUBE30 isn't.
opinions on ebay guitars? i see some “custom” guitars for $300 or less that are actually Schecters and lots of fine age guitars in the same price range. these scams? love to see a budget review from ebay like that!
That's really hard to say because it's an open marketplace. I'm sure there are scams on Ebay, but I'm sure a lot are legit. Just like amazon, or reverb or whatever. If you see a specific brand that looks sus though, LMK!
Kinda hard to believe you didn't have 1 negative thing to say about a $200 guitar... I heard the speech at the end but I still feel like there's absolutely no chance that a guitar that cheap doesn't have ANY flaws in it's relative price range.
@@chaosandorderstudio It's the same with Thomann. I got 1 guitar and 1 bass from G4M: top notch!! 👌💯 Thus I'd rate my G4M experience better than Thomann 🙉 But again, apparently both companies have some QC issues depending on Your luck! Still, both of my instruments are the BEST at their price range, so... 🔥
They are made from softer metal. I think the issue is you have a lot of beginners using them that probably don't know how to take care of them, and the metal just won't tolerate the abuse, so they end up with issues due to thing like the blade edges flattening out and not returning to a 0 position, or the string screws stripping.
Steel frets, glow in the dark dots, and a floyd type trem at this price is bonkers. Reminds me of when Harley Benton stopped being a complete joke around 2018-2019ish.
Dude, i ordered it....total shit. Dead spots on 3rd and 4th fret on g and b string, rough finish in neck pocket, knobs wiggling, trem arm could not be srewed tight...what a bummer. Returned it. My advice: don´t trust youtubers. Just get a solar-s.

Sure enough, they have.
4:49 , 5:21 and 5:54
Your cab setup beside you said "aight im outta here"
these used to be called subzero they had really nice cheap baritones and 7 strings it seems they shifted that brand to amps
What Taylor said at 10:23 💯%!
Try their amps also...wanna know is their GA-100 to eny worth of money?
Now I want to see you play guitar wearing vibrating hand massagers!
Luckly we can buy high speced electric guitars for a good price from this brand or Harley Benton f.ex. But why not other shapes than f.ex super strat or tele. What about something like a warrior, v, ml, lm stealth, iron bird, star with and without floyd rose...
I gotta say, I'm impressed!
Great Review sir :D
I have a request can you do a review of another budget metal guitar, Cost X100. Please 🙏
Great guitars for beginners or a modding project
There is not a website for the address
pinned comment has a link
oh hey look at that you actually bought a guitar that didnt arrive broken for a change! Well done!
Also in English we say Glacier the same Glossier is a different word altogether, and is also the same in American English.
Surprised they haven't been sued yet what they are is SUB-ZERO guitars with a different name and sabotaged specks 😂 what a joke.😅
It's a schecter reaper 6 FR wannabe lol. I like it.
Is it veneer top?
@@LegatoTactics it doesn’t appear to be, and the website doesn’t say so, so I think it’s an actual wood top
You should def play some samurai from cyberpunk on that guitar
Rondo is pretty budget but where else are you going to get an affordable 8 string fanned fret classical nylon stringed guitar for all your Brahms pieces?
Rondo used to be awesome, not so much anymore. The selection is nothing like it used to be.
this is the future for guitars more fun and colorful and experimental and original guitars instead of just boring same design and color
dont they have an America store or site for purchasing?
No.
They do have a Gear4Music United States website that has prices in US dollars.
@@robertvarner8195 Yas, they have the site in multiple languages and currencies, but the actual stores are all in Europe.
Now do Gear4Music Saturn amp, please? They're reasonably priced for a tube amp (though I know it faces the same import issues) but the Gear4Music demos suck and you can't find anything about them.
Those amps are basically the same amos as the Harley Benton Tube amps, but with a different name and color
@@snakebyte98 @snakebyte98 I'd agree with some of the other models, but Harley Benton doesn't have a 50 watt like the SubZero Saturn-50VR. Maybe the TUBE30 is similar, but a 30 watt, but the Saturn is supposed to be high gain, and the TUBE30 isn't.
You should try the G4M Harlem line!!!
opinions on ebay guitars? i see some “custom” guitars for $300 or less that are actually Schecters and lots of fine age guitars in the same price range. these scams? love to see a budget review from ebay like that!
That's really hard to say because it's an open marketplace. I'm sure there are scams on Ebay, but I'm sure a lot are legit. Just like amazon, or reverb or whatever. If you see a specific brand that looks sus though, LMK!
Kinda hard to believe you didn't have 1 negative thing to say about a $200 guitar... I heard the speech at the end but I still feel like there's absolutely no chance that a guitar that cheap doesn't have ANY flaws in it's relative price range.
Had a few Gear4music guitars and the QC is pretty hit and miss. Proceed with caution.
Tried their headless, and it had massive fret sprout. Pisses me off it's gone down 1/4 in price since then. :D
Oh well, I got to fix it with a file.
Thanks for writing that
I was about to check them out 😅
@@chaosandorderstudio It's the same with Thomann. I got 1 guitar and 1 bass from G4M: top notch!! 👌💯 Thus I'd rate my G4M experience better than Thomann 🙉 But again, apparently both companies have some QC issues depending on Your luck! Still, both of my instruments are the BEST at their price range, so... 🔥
so no recommendation from your side?
@@metalcz can't recommend them no man.
“Coil tapped middle” sounds exactly like Gin Blossoms tone. 👀
Thanks now I'm going to have "Hey Jealousy" stuck in my head all day 😂
in england we also pronounce it as gla-see-ers
Those poor pickup wont allow you to saturate it in a way thats usable. Imo.
66,6k subs... brutal lol
this looks like a Skervesen lol I wonder if they are some super budget line, rebranded
Maybe they are made lol 😆 in a sweat shop too
Hell yeah
Here we go again .. LOL
Nice guitar.
The Red G4M Logo on the Headstock makes the full Esthetics terrible... same like Harley Benton... i would not go on stage with dis :D
Pretty decent for $320. Switch out those pickups and you'd have a great guitar.
Very 🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒
people hate specials because they are cheap that's the only reason why they complain about it
They are made from softer metal. I think the issue is you have a lot of beginners using them that probably don't know how to take care of them, and the metal just won't tolerate the abuse, so they end up with issues due to thing like the blade edges flattening out and not returning to a 0 position, or the string screws stripping.
Is this a guitar video?
Steel frets, glow in the dark dots, and a floyd type trem at this price is bonkers. Reminds me of when Harley Benton stopped being a complete joke around 2018-2019ish.

YEE HAW
I just wish gear4music made lefties.
Dude, i ordered it....total shit. Dead spots on 3rd and 4th fret on g and b string, rough finish in neck pocket, knobs wiggling, trem arm could not be srewed tight...what a bummer. Returned it. My advice: don´t trust youtubers. Just get a solar-s.
wanted to order the non FR version but now I probably look for something else
Love this vid bro love from israel🇮🇱🇮🇱
