From Fesley to Harley Benton to Firefly as well as Kramer, Jackson, Squire, Ibanez there has never been so many affordable options for new or older players. Great review!
In the 80's you could not even touch a Jackson.Charvel,Kramer or Ibanez for under $600
I have to say i am very impressed at the level of quality a person can get these days for under $250!😱 As a Guitarist that grew up
in the 80's we had NOTHING like this back then! IF you did not go with a Charvel or a Kramer both which were cost over $700 back then
there was not much out there. $239 would not get you a new good playing/sounding guitar, you could buy used and get something OK for a few hundred. Visually i really like the Blue one.
Thanks for checking it out! We also want to bring a good news that we will have Jumbo Fret versions of LP guitars in early March, so stay tuned🔥🔥
I have a Gibson 1956 ES 125 that was considered an"entry level" student guitar when it was new, and ANY guitar picker would be lucky to have this one in their arsenal. it's truly an amazing instrument. I started playing in the late 1970s (man, I'm getting old!), first on a Checkmate acoustic, then on a Sears SG Copy. Both were absolutely horrible, but I didn't know it! Modern students are really fortunate to have quality guitars to learn on, that are really affordable. Thanks, Marty! Rock On! 🎸🤟
Dude, I totally agree with you!!
Nice! If only they had guitars like this back in the 60s&70s! Cheap and good! Thanks Marty 🤘 😊 these make nice build platforms!
I said the same!😁👍
Dude I just picked up the guitar a couple months ago at age 50 and MAN you can really throw down on this guitar!!. I have a Harley Benton but this Fesley sounds great. I can only hope to sound as good as you one day if I'm lucky.
Wow! I'm like a lot of other people. I am blown away by what I am seeing and hearing with these new Fesley models. Their older offerings were pretty cool. But man... they kicked it up a notch or two! I've seen a few other vids now, & each guy raved about these. They look so cool, and sounds like they play great too. As always... you SMOKED it with this one, Marty. What a player you are!
Big square heel joint should be replaced by a rounded heel also Jumbo frets would be nice.
For a budget guitar, it looks great. They also got the spelling changed on the box! Used to say “elecratric guitar” 😂
It's a really solid guitar! I dig it man. Also, I busted their chops hard on typos on the box. I was messaging with them a couple months ago. lol
May I recommend "Iron Gear" pickup set IF you felt the need to upgrade. When you thought you were good on sound, and then install a set of these Iron Gear....its like...WOW! didnt realize it could be better (and on a budget too) . Just good P/Us on the cheap. Just like this Fesley, just good stuff on the cheap.
The FX8 should have NEVER been discontinued... Love the tones man! 🤘
That came well packaged. The guitar is very easy on the eye, and the pickups don't sound too bad. How does the tremelo stack up? Nice playing as well with a bit of shimmer.
There are so many value guitars now, firefly, Harley benton, Vintage guitars and many more. Vintage make a really good Les Paul type of guitar from what I hear.
Nice to see your dog again at the start, unfortunately our wee dog passed away last Friday morning at 13yrs old 😢.
Sorry to hear about your dog, what a bummer. My dog is 14. He's still got a lot of energy and is quite healthy but he's slowing down a lot. The trem in the guitar is pretty good man. It's a 2 point tremelo so it has a nice feel. The but seems to be cut very well too. I think with some playing a string stretching it would hold tune well either some fairly aggressive tremolo use.
@Ranch5150SkinWalker Thanks Marty. He was part of our family. He was struggling to breathe on Friday morning, couldn't get up, and was in a lot of pain. So we had to take him to the vet to get put to sleep bless him. My partner and kids are finding it really difficult at the moment.
Thanks for the info on the trem, and that it's usable. I can't believe the quality of most of these cheap guitars that are coming out. The big boys must be frightened of losing business the way that the market is currently.
I would definitely consider adding something cheaper like this to my small collection. Even as a project.
I would love to see Fesley's DK-shaped guitars get released as assembly DIY kits. They would make a great idea for a Partscaster Superstrat project, I'm currently working on.
Hey Marty. Fesley sent me a guitar to review as well. I finally got a chance to sit and play it for a few hours over the last couple of days and I couldn't agree with your review more. There's really nothing not to like about it. The pickups surprised me too. Especially, the clean sounds. And the breadth of sounds you get across all the three pick ups the five positions and the rolls offs make it great for a cover band setting too. Now the trick is finding something original to say in a video. LOL. Thanks for an outstanding and comprehensive review. Mark
Great video! Killer playing! Thanks!
Thanks so much! 😎🤟🏻🎸
A double cutaway body. My guitar teacher used to refer to soloing at frets 20 - 22 as “screaming”.
Dude that was AWESOME!!
Thanks man! 😁🎵
Really cool piece. Looks like a lot of guitar for the money
It's really nice man. I was pretty blown away. You can't even come close to building one at that quality for the cost.
I have seen this Fesely Guitar 🎸 on a few RUclips Channels... My wife & I both love the color... Personally Depending where you gig you have to be careful of guitars 🎸 getting damaged.. From Patton's... Look Nita Strauss had her Pedal Board Stolen last year at A Guitar Center Class basically Selling her Ibanez Signature Model and Marshall Amps.. it happens... I not the $2,000 guitar person. Personally I like building & modification of budget guitars to make them play at a Pro Level... Look Eddie Van Halen played a Reject Guitar he modified.. Prince Preferred Cheaper Guitars for Studio Sessions he liked the Raw Sound... Slash use to play Chinese Guitars before GNR'S first Album...etc... BTW I really liked Your Rig Rundown of Lizards Prince Tribute band... Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎵
Wow good review on the Fesley guitar! I got mine a couple weeks ago from Amazon with a sweet discount.. it plays very well and watching your video I see it has a lot more potential to get to 😂 the neck is great the actions cool and even though the pots are small it sounds clean and crisp.. thanks again bro you are an inspiring guitar player
You're welcome man! Enjoy the guitar!
Best intro ever haha! What a color! Doesn't sound to bad to boot.
Very thorough explanation and demonstration of this guitar..the “Noodling “ just outstanding guitar playing.
Sounding good Marty…I’ve always been a fan of the dinky shape👍
In other words , we cant really hear what the guitar actually sounds like, straight into a marshall with only some reverb would have been nice.Maybe im wrong on it,it did sound good.🎉🎉🎉Thank you Marty, guess I need to loose some skeptism about price points and quality. Great playing and great chanel
We sure didn't have fesley in the 80s jc penny maybe......amazing days for guitar
Good review and nice playing. Subbed!
Thanks for watching and for the sub! 😎🎸
For the price i can get a roasted neck Jet JS400. I really wanted a super strat but it must have Junbo frets and no big block neck heel joint otherwise this fits the bill.
With the new S by Solar range there is plenty of choice of really good value guitars at a budget.
True! Even regular Solar models are a great value. I have two and love them!
Hi Marty, how you manage to find these one of a kind guitars with gorgeous colors especially purple 💜 is my color. I think because of your You Tube site you have more connections than the average Joe. Back to the vid. Peace 🕊️ brother.
Man, they just happened to send me this color. I guess they wanted it promoted so they selected this pretty one. It's really nice!
mine needed to much work out of the box, and fesley support is nill..you must have got a hand picked 1 , mine needed 15 out of 22 frets leveled and polished and that took care of the fret sprout.
Just as a FYI Ibanez Offers a RG gio for a little more than these @$279 and Jackson has the Jackson Dinky
JS22 DKA Arch Top @ $199! I would love to pit them against each other! Really curious which ones do not really need anything
real major done to them for me to play on stage
Yeh, there's a lot out there at nice price points. Such a good time to buy affordable guitars. The Gios are pretty rough in all honesty. The QC is poor a lot of the times and they have some unbearable fret sprout. Electronics some times have issues too. The Jackson's are superior. I e experience some fret issues with them as well but QC seems better on the low end Jackson guitars vs lower end Ibanez Gio models. This Fesley is superior to both in my opinion. I think since they sell direct they are in batter position to offer higher quality at a lower cost 🤷
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker How are the LTD's at this price? I am not in the market for anything buy like to follow what is being made these days. Like you i have several really expensive extremely well crafted guitars like a Historic R9, a R7 goldtop, Custom shop Charvels and Prestige RG's. These inexpensive guitars fascinate me because when i first started guitar we had NOTHING inexpensive that was playable!!
@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 LTDs are solid! As well as Schecter. Sometimes the Fishmans in the Schecters are glitchy ... gotta spot check those.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Cool last inexpensive guitar i bought was a Ibanez RG 350M and it was pretty solid for the $200. Just needed new strings and a set up to my spec. It was a GC clearance so i grabbed it. all maple neck with Black sharktooth inlays. you probably seen these? They are all black except the maple neck and figerboard.
@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 yeh man. Cant go wrong at all with an RG!
That looks good, i like the purple. It sounded pretty good, supposedly from what a couple other people are saying these fesley guitars are made in the fender factory in china. I bought the first dinky style guitar, its ok, i was noodling on it last night and noticed the neck is very sensitive to being bent, i gotta check it out and see whats up with that cause i mean any subtle push on the neck and its a slight dive bomb, any thoughts on that? Great video as usual, thanks Marty, you have a great week 🤘
Look and sound awesome....
I was just wondering why I don't have a purple guitar. Almost bout an Oscar Schmidt a few years about for about $220 that was a LP clone in purple that is not offered anymore.. kinda wish I had. I don't NEED to buy a guitar... dang that PURPLE is sweet eye candy! LOL .. And the price seems pretty reasonable at the moment..... I hope you understand the dilemma you have put me in! LOL. the big question is ... would you spend YOUR hard earned dollars on one or opt for something a little higher on the scale that already has the upgrades? Maybe for you it wouldn't matter as I believe you could plug a cardboard box with a popsicle stick neck and rubber bands for strings into an amp and make it sound great! LOL . Thanks for any info and nice playing.
Hey no Stairwa..., lol. Really nice guitar. I just wish they would use jumbo frets and maybe no whammy. Haven't been impressed with any of the floating ones in this price range. Oh yeah, great playing!
lol! I had to do it. You know, a stop tail piece would be nice. I'd just set this thing up like I do my Strats and get the bridge to just rest on the body and forget about. 😀
Nice, thanks for reviewing. What's the weight on yhos guy?
You fucking ROCK bruh lol 😎🤘I just ordered a blue one lol
You're really gonna like it man! 😎🤟🏻
Dogs really like when you get down to their height, lol. Nice dog Marty.
lol. They sure do! I didn't expect him to invade my video though 😂😂
1 volume 2 tone knobs
A guitar is mostly wood,so why pay more than 3,4 honderd for the thing,it makes no sense,the final sound is in your fingers and in your amp.
Dog kisses make everything better. Even affordable guitars.
Hahahaha great start
I'm going to start a brand called "Fester" and only sell to bald guys :)
The strings sound like they are to far away from the pick ups
Hahahaha great start
