    people tend to underestimate the importance of a beginner liking the look of their new guitar.

    Good review. And I like the fact that you are honest and don't pretend to be an expert like some guys. And thanks for not trying to show off with that shredding crap that so many guys do.

      @@MrKing-qd7gi there's musical shredding and there's shredding that's technical but not so much musical. Meaning, it's more of a dick measuring contest than nice to the ears lol. I like the musical kind.
      I can't shred and never could, though. Stupid fingers have a tendency to lock up on me at the worst times.

    I have one of these and all I did was change out the tuners to locking tuners and adjusted the action. It is my favorite guitar to play. I have 8 guitars all different setups. But I paid 250 bucks for one of these afd ones. And the sustain on the notes is absolutely insane 🤘🤘

    ive owned this guitar for about a year now played it heavily for about 6 months till i upgraded, i go back and play it still every now and then because it honestly is a very good sounding guitar, has such a good crunch sound and comfortable neck, more reminiscent of a SG rather then a Les paul in my opinion

    That's a lot of guitar for the money! I've been thinking of bringing the finish off on my necks too, the scotchbrite method seems to be the least destructive.

    • @juniorsguitarranch6368
      @juniorsguitarranch6368  7 лет назад +2

      It is totally harmless to the stain on the neck. Since this video I have took the scotchbrite to it some more and taken some of the stain off the neck, feels much better. Now it is time to change out the plastic nut.

    I picked up three same package on Amazon, I changed out the tuners with the old-school pes paul that greenish color their locking also and changed the bridge to a roller bridge , but out of the box it played pretty dam good sounds good also.

    You say it stays in tune so I wouldn’t need locking tuners?

    • @juniorsguitarranch6368
      @juniorsguitarranch6368  Год назад +1

      No you wouldn't. Locking tuners don't lock it in position or in tune they just lock on the string so you don't have to wind them around the post so many times.

    These pickups look a little different than the ones that come with the standard Les Paul II Specials. Are these what they call the zebra ceramics? The standard are 650R/700T which are also ceramic.

    I had this guitar once. Not bad for the money. The frets would develop surface rust and tarnish quite often. I grew tired of having to take 0000 steel wool to clean the frets and using blue painters tape to protect the fret board and having to replace the strings in the process. So I traded it in. Kind of a shame cause it did sound good.

    I've started a channel of backing tracks you might like btw. Every track will be transposed into all 12 keys so it will be a great practice resource for blues, jazz, funk and rock players alike. Be sure to check it out if you are into that sort of thing!
