    • @BigMateo24
      @BigMateo24 3 года назад +20

      That may play a part, but budget guitars have been around for a long time. I believe the biggest factor is lack of motivation. It takes time and effort to learn an instrument. There are a lot of people that aren't willing to put forth that effort. They may buy a guitar, learn a few chords maybe even a song for a couple weeks then set it in the closet for years. When it's time to clean it out, they try to flip their junk at a pawn shop or on craigslist for a couple extra bucks.

      Guitar is already the most played instrument. And the cheapest if we ignore pTrumpets. Every other instrument is more expensive to start. Guitar is more motivation based than other instruments, because school bands don't need 5 guitarists, but don't care about 6 saxes or 2 drummers.

    From where I sit - on my couch - I would buy that guitar based upon looks alone. The color sets it apart. I have 1 of almost every cheap guitar made in recent history. They all look identical. Sunburst finish. All these cheap beginner guitars are terrific. They all need some finishing - frets spot leveled, fret sprout filed, truss rod adjust, etc. That's why they're cheap. They have HUGE potential. You have proven that. You play those same songs thru same amp with a Fender strat expensive, we would NOT hear ANY DIFFERENCE!! Throw that amp that came with it away though.

    I bought this same guitar package. I'm not a set-up guy. So I took it to a local guitar store. To get a set up and new strings. They called me a few days later. Saying they noticed the frets was popping up. And needed to be reset. Other than that everything else was fine. So I said go ahead and do it. So they removed the frets. Cleaned the slots and replaced them. With a little tight bond superglue. Then leveled and polished them. Then did setup and intonation. With Daddario xl medium gauge strings. And it turned out great. The tech said the pickups was semi ok. And said if I was going to upgrade. That's where he would start. Guitar package was $129.00 . Setup & Intonation $51.00. Strings $8.99. Resetting the frets level & polish $25.00. So not too bad. I may have them install some new pickups. Maybe some Fender vintage noiseless. I donated the Amp at good will. My Fender champion 100 way better. Also this was another great review. As always. It convinced me to buy it. I got the 3 color sunburst model.

    I was born in '82. Now I was mostly a drummer growing up, but I DID buy a Bass and a Cort Electric when I was in early Highschool (just so I could mess around and not be completely foreign to the instruments). Back then, the Cort I bought was the nicest "low-end Priced" guitar at the local Music store. It was $375 back in '95 and the amp I bought was a little 10-Watt I got for about $75 (maybe 100, I can't remember, but the amp sucked).
    While there is no doubt the Cort Guitar I bought blows that BCP Strat away, it DID cost about $300 more as a set (with the amp). So to get a serviceable strat, with a usable little Amp for

    This was such a good video, Max, you have a great way way of encouraging people to play, even if what they can afford to play is an inexpensive guitar. Why invest more until you're even sure you'll continue. When I was young, in the mid 80's, a friend bought a high end Jackson Guitar, a Mesa Boogie Amp, gear, Pedals, etc., a small fortune at the time...he was a beginner, like me. I had a guitar from a garage sale. I'm still playing. He isn't. In the end , all his stuff ended up at a pawn shop. My point? Don't commit your money until you commit your time to learn, and have some breakthroughs, and then gradually move up according to your skill if you want. Years ago, I read an interview with Tony Carey (Planet P Project), where he was asked about the guitar he used to get his awesome sound...he claimed his studio guitars were all cheap $100 guitars.

      I'd reccomend saving up a little more and get yourself a used guitar for 150-200$. You can find a used 500$guitar in perfect condition for 200-300 dollars. You really cant go wrong with it. If you're a metal player I reccomend getting an Ibanez gio or a Jackson dinky. You also can get a epiphone special ii and a squire strat or even a tele for 170$. they're not lets say a custom psr 24. but they'll get you a good sound. even I (a player for 6 years) still use my ibanez, jackson and my epiphone👍 good luck with your journey on finding your new guitar!

      @@guitar4254 oh great!👍🤙 there are tons of ways getting your music heard. You can use social platforms such as youtube Instagram Facebook etc. You can also create a creators account on spotify (I believe it's a separate app) and similarly you can use sound cloud. There is also streaming platforms such as podcasts.
      Tik tok has been a great outlet for artists to write short songs and even do parts of covers. As for gear that varies for person to person. (Depending on what genre you plan on playing and what kind of music you're into) I play nu metal, alt metal, death metal, alternative, and country. But if you're let's say a jazz artist you don't really want a distortion pedal with your stuff.😂 I personally like to just mic up my amps. but if you're someone familiar with audio tech I reccomend using a pc to record your artwork. There is so many amps, rig systems, and pedals it's kind of your own thing to figure out. I reccomend going to your local guitar shop and ask them about what kind of pedals. You can find a proper microphone to mix your amp up super easily. Which is definitely the easiest way to record your stuff(imo) because then you can just add a drum track in the background. So long as you have an amp that doesn't sound like a kid humming into a plastic cup and a proper microphone setup you will be fine🤙👍

  • @waynepoole-sz3tx
    @waynepoole-sz3tx Год назад

    I think this a great choice- I'm sorry, probably the best choice for a new guitarist. You've got everything you need to get started and you don't have a lot of money into it. The main faults you will notice are the starter Amp as well as the stock pickups, both of which are easy fixes. If you take some time to play this thing and start building some skill and want something better without having the deep pockets for a new guitar or even getting this one upgraded, I highly recommend trying your hand at purchasing and installing pickups yourself. It's the first thing I ever attempted and successfully modded myself on my first guitar, a squier affinity series strat and it makes a world's difference. Nothing too expensive unless you really want those Seymour Duncan JBs, nobody's gonna stop you.

    I'm changing the subject but I just couldn't help mention something which I've thought about a great deal recently. After those original Les Pauls, with the hinged tailpiece and before tune-o-matic bridge, the single coils were already used. Humbuckers, which famously started later on and employed on other guitars pretty much across the board, were to replace those pickups, and were meant to replace them. AND provide an obvious solution to the issue. Not an "alternative" to those outmoded P90 types, but to actually solve the problem and, obviously, tone. Therefore, why would I want to go back to a point in retroactive time where you stick those P90's in a new guitar, which were meant to be replaced, which Gibson obviously did, to begin with!?
