"now play a G chord" LMFAO
"Its a little off..."
This is my first guitar you guys just reviewed. Being a beginner I didn’t know half of the things that was wrong . For this as a beginner, I love it . It gets the job done. But 3 days ago I bought my first fender electric guitar for 740. It feels and so much more professional,heavier and looks gorgeous. I still am proud of my Amazon guitar though. Only been playing for 5 months but it helped alot
What is the name of it on Amazon?
How's it going now? You don't have to reply but I'm just curious since it's been a year.
My first guitar was a, around 70$, fake givson that taught me how to shred around 12 years ago. So if you are a good guitar player, you can easily play any guitar cheap or expensive. And if you are very eager and very enthusiastic to learn guitar, you don't need a 1000$ guitar to learn
@@daravikkiremember it’s not the equipment,it’s the artist. I know pros who could make a $70 instrument rival a high quality instrument. I learned that when I was in my beginner stages.
But can you play free bird
Cooper sounds better than most do playing a high end custom shop on that thing, totally awesome dude!
I love these ”cheap guitar” videos for some reason!
Me too.... just have to watch.
I know right 🎸
I guess they’re just so informational and engaging on what you should and shouldn’t get on websites like Amazon!
You guys are great!! I’m 59 and would like to learn how to play a guitar. Due to health issues I can’t golf anymore. So I’m selling my golf clubs to buy a guitar. You guys are teaching me a lot. I’ve never played a guitar before. Electric not acoustic is what was recommended to me. So, while watching a lot of, you Chris and Coopers videos, I’ve learned that what feels comfortable to yourself in your hands is very important. I’m looking for a lightish guitar. Leaning towards a Squier or Yamaha Pacifica.
But then I saw a review of the JET brand guitars. Have you ever played a JET guitar? Would love to see you both review it. Thanks guys. Keep doing what you guys do. Love it.
Hey man, seeing as nine months have past since you made this comment, I've got to know, did you end up getting a guitar? And if so, how's it going? Do you like it? Which one did you get? I'd love an update on your journey thus far!
@@ElliottsCreations Hi! GOLF clubs are gone. 😥.Yes, I now have 3 guitars. First, my son bought me a Bass guitar he found at a thrift store. Fender Jaguar Bass for $80. But didn’t have an amp. So, it was very quiet playing🤣. Then I bought a Donner DST400 HSS for $390 with an amp that would handle the bass as well. Beautiful guitar and so comfortable. The sound is so amazing. On a walk one day I saw in a thrift store window a beautiful acoustic guitar. It was a Garrison AG-200-RD. I did some research on Garrison guitars. Went back the next day and bought it for $175. Found out it’s worth about $430. So I’m setup with all I need. I try to play at least 3 days a week. Usually about 1 and 1/2 hours or 2 each time. Just having fun and learning at an enjoyable pace. Makes me smile. 😁❤️🎼🎸🎼
@@kbchef9205 That’s awesome! Glad to hear you’re having fun with it! Sorry about the Golf clubs😞. But you couldn’t have picked a better hobby to replace your previous one, in my opinion😁. I started taking playing seriously back in 2017 after having owned a guitar and not touching it for years. I’ve been hooked ever since, and as they say, the rest is history. You may be all set now, but give it some time, you’ll find another guitar that you have to have🤣. Keep rockin’ 🤘🎸!
What I got out of this video is that Cooper can make anything sound really good. :)
This type of price range for electric guitars is so common where I live, a lot of people would buy a custom made 60$ electric guitar and stick with it, the guitar in the video is actually pretty damn good too.
Hey This proves that even a near disaster of a guitar when played by competent guitarist sounds almost ok.
i’ve concluded that all a cheap guitar needs is a good guitar player
Guys.... I bought one over two years ago. I absolutely love it! 139.00.....a Firefly. It really is beautiful and plays really smooth. I guess I scored.
I bought five of these for my sons and me and we have a blast with them. You get a lot for the money. Next, I want to try the 200.00 Ibanez.
You guys are brilliant, i look forward to your review videos. It would be easy to just bash every guitar under $300 but no you simply just say what it is, not everyone can or wants to spend a lot on their first guitar.
Please do more.
The death stare at the pocket-knife at 2:21 tho 🤣
you two are great! love the little editing bits
It's actually not bad at all. When I was starting I had overpaid on the guitar and got a shitty amp.
My first guitar was a, around 70$, fake givson that taught me how to shred around 12 years ago. So if you are a good guitar player, you can easily play any guitar cheap or expensive. And if you are very eager and very enthusiastic to learn guitar, you don't need a 1000$ guitar to learn
3:11 oh i love that color 😍 I WANT THAT COLOR ON MY GUITAR! Dude.
I love honest tech reviews. You are great guys!
19:14 I love that tone
I like the color of the guitar and the binding is a nice look too. Good modding platform 🎸
So happy to see Cooper still rocking it
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. Recently had to retire because of Ill health and thinking of learning the guitar instead of watching tv all day
My first electric guitar at age 12 cost 80$ in 1966... it got me hooked. Don’t knock it so bad...
Danelectro guitars are not made out of wood...
True but $80 in 66 would be about $650 in today's money which is Fender Player Series Strat territory. In contrast this $140 pack in 1966 would cost less than $18. Wow!
@@AlamoMusic you forgot that guitar quality was worse back then, so that $600 would’ve been the same crap quality.
I just bought the light green colored one and I'm excited to try it out!
Way late to this party, but that beep beep transition had me dying!
Awesome review as always!
Chris should plain admit he has a blast making this kind of videos.
And that would be fine as I enjoy them too!
I honestly think this says more about the skills of the reviewer and the amp. than the guitar. This guy and that amp could make a stringed broomstick sound great. (Don't get any ideas Amazon!)
Halloween version
By the way I love ever video you guy make Your opinion means a lot to me
I have one of these. Let me first say I know "F" all about guitars. I had to adjust the bridge to bring the strings down closer to the fret board because it came from the factory with the strings set stupidly high. A cute little girl at the local guitar shop convinced me to switch the strings out for some Ernie Ball strings. After those two mods I must say I like it. The amp is plenty for me, I just prop it up next to me on the couch and play. I don't really know how to play yet so buying an expensive guitar would be like putting lipstick on a pig. About the wammy bar. Real Finder Stratocasters have a spring that goes under the bar to make the bar a little bit stiffer. I found a spring in my spare parts box that just about fits.
My favorite thing about this guitar here is the gorgeous dark blue to black sunburst coloring!
Y’all could make a pie plate and rubber bands sound like an instrument. Great job!
That tremolo bar will come in handy. -It gives me something else to hold onto while I'm carrying that GSO out to the dumpster.
The guitar will be better with little TLC. Polish the frets, new strings, tusq nut and you're good for awhile
The problem is for a new player that’s not something they would normally do or think to do. Most guitars can sound ok if properly set up
@@PMTCards not to mention plenty of people ordering this might not be near a music shop that can actually do this stuff. Especially if it needs fret finishing.
My first guitar was a Les Paul copy from the Sears catalog that has a blank headstock
I bet y,u fucking loved it. I would too
@@benallmark9671 yep and still have it 35 years later
@@allisonholmesmusic97 amazing and awesome to hear.
I got the same guitar from sears 37 years ago . For $89.00 with the amp. I still have it .. I am an acoustic player Taylor.. I just traded in my real Les Paul for another Taylor. To tell you the truth my Les Paul Copy from Sears with really good string it sounds just as good as my 7000 les Paul. When you're on a budget these guitars are good...
@@susiek5205 I still have mine as well. There’s an electrical short somewhere in it and I’m not sure if it’s worth spending the money to repair. It will make a really cool wall hanger though
That is a nice husk to use as a platform for a build.
It's like hangin' out with Chris and Cooper !
beautiful demo😮💨
Good review!
God is with yall
My first guitar 🎸 was a Lotus strat that looked like a Fender back in 1987 and being left handed it still cost me 400.00.. Fast forward, I've owned many guitars even right handed but now I own an awesome Ibanez GIO lefty for 249.00..I also own 2 Sawtooth S series lefty guitars that I paid 80.00 for one and 150.O0 for another both brand new and both are absolutely mind-blowing ..The frets especially are rolled and so smooth like a Charvel..The least expensive guitars I've bought are very nice quality even compared to my more expensive models..👍😁🤘🎸
Bought a Glarry ‘T-type’ as a project from eBay. Cost £46 ($65) inc. delivery. No fret sprout (still, after a couple of months in a well heated house) intonation close(ish), clean strings but scratchy frets out of the box.
After a fret polish (frets, surprisingly well installed AND level) and setup it plays very reasonably. Paper-light basswood body and prone to neck-dive (but fine with a 4” suede lined strap). Body finish: very good, neck: chunky (more so than my ‘56 Les Paul) but with a super light finish on a neck crying out for a sand - 5 minutes with some steel wool... smooth as (cheap) silk. But, after adjusting the neck relief, got a buzz-free 1.5mm Bass/1.3mm Treble action at the 12th. For the ridiculously low price it’s a surprisingly good guitar, although the pickups are totally lacking in character and the bridge plate, presumably due to the pickup route being misplaced, is about three eights of an inch too far from the pickguard, but good intonation still achievable.
But ideal for an ‘open mic’ - do your stuff, chuck it in a corner, have a beer! 😬👍
Go into your Amazon app, click the hamburger button on the top left, change Country to Canada 🇨🇦, then search for Bison electric guitar, it's a $139 CAD 🇨🇦, Electric guitar in Sunburst only, it's a Bison Pro Sound, that's the brand. In the pic it has a maple fretboard, black knobs, black pickup covers and white pickguard. In reality it had a Pau Ferro fretboard (2018 during the Rosewood problem), white knobs, covers and pickguard. It had an okay maybe even great neck, once you sand the fret ends so it doesn't cut you.
Chip and Joanna Gaines "shiplap" reference. Too funny!
Funny stuff guys! Your videos are hilarious
That guitar looks great
Thanks for you review, sadly I didn't watch it before I bought one. The amp was a nightmare with horrid static/buzz/feedback, and I simply couldn't keep it in tune. Lesson learned!
I’m thinking of getting this guitar it’ll be my first electric guitar should I get it?
Alamo Music center better take good care of my two friends here, they are the face of the store.
"It's really light..." Painted balsa? Vibrato, vibrato, and halfway through I get the impression that the best feature is the whammy bar color matched to the pickguard... A setup would include teflon pipe thread tape to take up space on the vibrato bar... Spend a little more, and you'll get a LOT more... Mahogany neck Taylor Academy 12e slightly used is for sale from... somebody movin' on up! Thanks, you always make me grin!
You guys are really getting into these cheapo Amazon sitar’s aren’t yas haha! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dig the show guys 🤙
I got a green 2019 BCP model strat wasn't a bad guitar at all played and sounded good.I got it complete kit on a trade. I didn't like the thick fat neck on it.I sold it for 75 bucks and got a Glarry burning fire in black.I love this guitar playable out of the box.I love the thin comfortable neck so easy to play. I love playing this guitar over the BCP strat I had.
I love Cooper’s low-key sass.
I like the looks of it! That blue is actually preety beautiful!
It sounds nice clean
And yes, Cooper made it sound good
I got a Lyx kit at Amazon last December. As I beginner ,I didn't know whether I'd like playing guitar or not so it was a good way to mitigate risk and limit losses 😛. Now I know I like to play it but realized how much it sucks - neck dives, strap sucks, amp buzzes like hell... I therefore have been replacing parts in phases: already got a new amp and am waiting for a Sire S7 to arrive (hopefully will get it by early fall...).
Again, your reviews are my favorite and i watch many! Love you both! And nothing wrong with Oral U! I used to watch Oral and read read his autobiography!
It may be cheap but it looks good! Sound wise, it's not bad but not perfect. But you could still put that guitar through a good amp and put it on a professional song. I doubt anyone would know the difference lol
I got the white Verizon of this guitar. With a real amp it sounds awesome for it’s price
I’m actually looking at buying that kit. I want to re-learn to play. I basically had to re-learn a whole bunch of motor skills after a head injury during an epileptic seizure. So I want something just to start out with so I can make my hands work together again LOL relearn fingerings and such. But I am very interested to see how this goes before I make a purchase like that. I receive SSI and have a son so money is definitely a factor lol
Straight riffs! How long have you been playing guitar? Pretty good playing
Cooper makes this guitar sound like a $1,000 guitar. Ha
A review on the Donner 202, Less paul style, would really live to see that. Am very interested in the Less Paul style at a more affordable price level. More for Blues/ Jazz.
For sure buying a kid a first guitar it would probably see if it fits his fancy to continue on playing. And if the kid was lucky enough to have somebody that knew how to set it up in the family he could probably do it some good. I'm wondering what happens when your oil the fretboard the first time if the paint comes off LOL
Can you do a review of firefly, glarry and Harley benton guitars?
I think the best thing for that guitar would be graftech nut bridge change Seymour Duncan single coils and locking tuners
10:47 I would have broken my finger if I tried that with my daughter's '03 Epi LP Studio :D
At 18:40 I think it sounds pretty obvious that use of non-wood materials has a significant effect on tone
The new Michelangelo Batio Sawtooth guitar would be a cool demo. The flat black one. Can't remember the model name and I may have butchered dudes name too lol.
Those guitars are manufactured as white label, manufacturers produce products and then companies buy the product and have their own name put on it.
You yourself can do this! Go to Alibaba and look at guitars, then find one you like and then you buy say 10,000 units, and then you have them put whatever name you want on it.
I have a Pignose amp. It works okay. I can use AC or batteries.
Do the Monoprice guitar
Obviously you get what you pay for. In this case that's even more obvious. $139 Guitar is probably a better Xmas gift for an 8 year old but that about it. I've found that it's better to go hands on to find your guitar. You don't have to spend a fortune. Just look around in you price range and find the one with playability and sustain. Works for me. Rock on!!!
me realizing it will never sound like this with me playing lol
How does it sound on a decent amp ?
18:48-18:54 anybody else get deja vu from that little riff?
I have that same pocket knife and that thing is a pain to close sometimes
That amp sounded ok CLEAN! Surprsiningly good! Distorted it sounded like arse! In cheap, you CAN'T win them all!
Guitar was ok, sounded 'Strat' like!
Hey I was wondering how that little blue guitar you first reviewed from Amazon would actually work with nylon string. Just curious if it works better with intended strings, thats for the videos!
I have the same guitar that they reviewed. When nylon strings are put on it, it's....functional. Mine has a very bad neck tweak that causes SOME buzzing around the 8th-9th fret, but it's playable. This video contains a reviewer that did put the proper strings on the guitar.

Chip and Joanna Gaines ref!
please try the glarry GTL, Thanks
Hi everyone, what scales/chords is he using in the demo and where can I learn them?
Could you reviw the BRC HOLLOW BODY WITH THE HUMBUGGERS? AM WANTING TO GET ONE, BUT UNSURE IF WORTH IT.
I bought a LP LYXpro 39 SB series guitar ON Amazon I was wondering if you heard of that brand of guitars
Just so you know,I purchased a Fender cc60s from Amazon here in Spain and it built in Indonesian, not. Mexico.
Haha, I think Cooper should have started the video. He does look significantly more like Brad than Chris does. Chris is more John Candy.
How long did this take to ship? I wanna buy it but I’m very impatient…
i am positive i have a classic beginners bc guitar... i know i have a bc since its BC label is on the headstock, the neck is natural wood and the body is black
2:48 - "It is super light ...(pause) more cardboard." Were you referring to the guitar? lol
I hope that oral Roberts shirt is being worn ironically
Never put the guitar in the cheapo case! had one of these style cases pass through in the summer from a cheap guitar I was robbing the neck off. The plastic case stuck to the body, and wouldn’t come off without taking the paint off.
What is this guitar called on Amazon so I can find it! There is no links
It's called "Best Choice Products 39in Full Size Beginner Electric Guitar Starter Kit"
i just bought the same guitar and had the same settings but my guitar sounds like an acoustic how do i fix it?
I got the blue classical because I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg for a classical, and it was actually pretty decent. None of the cracking or anything that happened with yours.
beep beep killed me
@5:53 DONT PLAY IN WATER 😂😂😂😂
Okay, so what about get a monoprice tele for $80 it comes with a gig bag, and a Nux Mighty plug for $70 and you’re out the door for $150 with a full size Telecaster and Amp, download a free guitar tuner and off you go.
Try the Aliexpress Malmsteen Guitar
Back in the days I got such a starter pack from Marshall. While the amp was pretty good, the guitar was so god damn awfull that I stoped playing after a few month because everything I fret just sounded horrible. These very low end guitars really ruin careers before they even start. Fortunatly I picked up a decent Fender a few years later!
hey, I made a gick out of an elixir package
