Intriguing video. Two or three questions if I may. What strings were you using and what diameter? Also, what's that capo looking thing I see you and Mateo Mancuso and others using on the first fret? Also, what amp and pedals were you using? Your speed and tapping are also impressive. Jealous of your talent. I'm tempted to liquidate my present guitar collection and replace them all with new stuff from AIO. It would go a long way towards solving my current set of frustrations and probably make me want to practice more. Thanks for the video and the info on what seems like a great company!
Terriffic in all respects! Wonderful playing likely came from hours, years of practice, thanks for that performance. Looking to get one of these, you didn't have to do much to sell it, just being able to play it as versatile as it is! New Sub and Thanks Max for the referral to this, 'Lester Mitchel's' Channel! Glad to be here!
Max sent me. I had to check out this Les copy by AIO and I'm glad I did. Beautiful guitar and a lot of bang for the buck. Nice to know there's a company that is selling amazing guitars and are more concerned about the player than their profits. The major companies are out of control with prices and quality. It's a shame. Great song my man. You can definitely shred. I've seen you on Max's channel before.
Set up is HUGE! Learning how to set up a guitar or having a tech set up makes playing and learning so much better. Really cool how to have techs set them up. Killer playing and demo song Lester! 🤘
Great video! I saw GuitarMax share your video. I’ve learned a lot about AIO from him as well. I also purchased an AIO Wolf 335 style in electric blue and it’s stunning. I’m looking forward to buying the new red flames Wolf Les Paul style soon. You and that LP style sounds fantastic. I’m a very big fan of my clean tones on my Wolf as well.
That was great! I really loved the clean sounds. And yes, AIO does a fantastic job of setting up these guitars. I have the Wolf guitar that I got from Max and it "plays like butter" just like you said. Awesome review dude!
I enjoyed your review and your rapport with the camera. Also, I have been super skeptical of these guitars, but the fluidity with which you play it, it just seems like a strong contender. I have been looking around the Marketplace at used Epiphone Goldtops, but the thought of this guitar really has me thinking.... Thanks! (great playing)
Glad to see this finally got to you! I know they do good work before sending out these guitars. It looks awesome and sounds great! Thanks for sharing Lester!
Nice arrangement Lester! I liked the change in modality at the outro. It was unexpected which is good! The guitar sounds decent even though the signal is heavily processed. What type of pickups does it have? I can’t assume that they are branded at the price point. Nice to see the manufacturer actually finish their instruments. I repair and setup guitars for a living in Canada and I get way too many incomplete offshore guitars. I often have to press and glue frets in on brand new guitars at that range. Especially “HB”, I haven’t had a good one yet in my shop. They always take a “beyond” a mere setup to get right. You generally get what you are paying for. I would argue that if the fretwork isn’t going to be good at your price point, you should raise the price point for some higher QC instead of flooding the market, and my bench, with garbage. Nice to see someone doing it better!
Hey thanks my friend! Appreciate you checking it out. I believe the pickups are "Destiny CNC wound" according to their website. I'm gonna be honest when I saw I've never heard of those! But I really like the bridge pickup. It's got a nice bite. Also, that's awesome that you do repairs/setups for a living man. Very cool stuff! It's crazy how many guitar companies from various price points send out unfinished guitars. I've seen so many sharp frets, crooked necks, among other horrors lol. It's definitely nice to see a safer option in this price range. Cheers!
Picked up a TC4 last week....neck/fret job is stunning. Guitar body and guts are clearly 'budget' quality...decent....but not killer QA...decent, no complaints. Dropped a set of Nocaster pups and BOOM...a truly nice playing and sounding Tele. Jin is great to work with and very responsive. Love that AIO also caters to lefties like me. Oh, amazing playing, dude!!
I have owned an AIO Wolf LP and it was great. Just too heavy for me. The fact that you will get a full pro level set up is incredible. Killer playing as usual brother and great video!!
Nimbus...You nailed it you SOB 🍻 Like I keep saying, I love how your solo style reminds me of a Dragon Ball Nimbus ride 😎I have a tattoo of Son Goku on his Nimbus that just makes me smile almost every time I see it, as it reminds me of innocence, youth, adventure, wholesomeness 😁🤘
Lester, I have an AIO Strat blue that is reliced. I have 4 real Strats (American) and a couple of super Strats. I ordered mine with a case. It’s unbelievable. Just yesterday I was studying the beautiful neck and fret work. I compared it to my Am STD Strat and the neck and frets are way nicer.
Yeah, I ordered it from Amazon and the shop called me. technician at all in one. I’m bummed because I didn’t hear my phone ringing. They left a message how I want it set up what gauge strings and action I tried to call back, but I didn’t have any luck Wow, they really do care. Can’t wait to get my guitar on Friday. ❤
At first I thought that you just got an actual Gold top Les Paul😆 This guitar looks and sounds killer. And judging how hard you shred and how effortlessly you sweep on that guitar, it's definetely not a Gibson😂 awesome review🎸👍 greetings from Lotasticland
Agile makes some really good LP's in the same price range that also have ebony fretboards, solid maple cap and premium parts. Have you compared the AIO to an Agile? I think both are made in S. Korea.
So, I'm late to the party on this one, but if anyone reads this and has the answer I woyld be grateful! What is the difference between these (SC series) and the Wolf series?
I must be the lucky one. My guitar from them was unplayable. The nut was so low the bridge had to be jacked up all the way to make it playable. Had a new nut installed plays fine now. Definitely not a pro setup.
@@jimjim7008 sorry buddy. Never again. Maybe that's your thing but I'm not paying a fortune for a guitar that I can get for 1/4 the price. I've owned 2 LP's a standard and a custom. The custom I liked way more than the standard but it was stolen. The standard I sold recently. I own 2 AIO's a wolf LP and Custom SC77. Both are great. The Custom is spectacular (don't like head stock shape but). Why would I pay 2500 for a standard? Keep rockin my friend. You gotta to do you.
@@C.Rig21 I own 2023 Gibson Les Paul custom, agree much more better than my '97 Gibson Les Paul standard in build quality, feel and tone despite both share same pickups configuration, go figure.. as long you're happy and satisfied sorry about your stolen custom. Keep rocking my friend
Nice to see more people talking about these guitars! Great video man.
Thanks Max! Everything you've said about these guitars is %100!

Thanks Andy! Also, that's so true. I think I have a lot to learn in that department. This was eye opening!

Love the gold top! Watched a couple reviews on AIO they seem really good!
Hey Brian! Same here. They know their stuff for sure.
Lester, excellent playing on a very fine guitar. Original piece amazing. Joe Satriani better watch out😉
Thanks man! 🤟 Haha love Joe!
Wicked, Lester!
🙏 Thanks dude

*Nimbus is a rocking tune! Very upbeat!*
In aural awe of you Lester, truly, you are accomplished as a guitarist and a song writer.
Thanks a lot man! I appreciate that!
Great job on the review! Love the new tune!
Thanks a lot my dude!
I have owned an AIO Wolf LP and it was great. Just too heavy for me. The fact that you will get a full pro level set up is incredible. Killer playing as usual brother and great video!!
Thanks my friend! Yeah it's definitely got some weight.
Dang, those chords on the clean noodle section were extra spicy! Nice job on the demo!
Thanks dude! Appreciate that 🙏

Haha thanks dude! That's awesome btw. I was always a big fan of DBZ! It'll always hold a special for me.
You slay me with those Holdsworthian chord clusters. Hope there's a livestream tonight! Or Sunday.
Haha! Also, Livestream Sunday! See ya there my friend

Nice Playing !!!! Just order one instead of 3k Gibby Gibby More Son!!!!
Thanks dude! Also killer! You'll have to let me know how it goes 🎸
Yeah, I ordered it from Amazon and the shop called me. technician at all in one.
I’m bummed because I didn’t hear my phone ringing.
They left a message how I want it set up what gauge strings and action
I tried to call back, but I didn’t have any luck
Wow, they really do care. Can’t wait to get my guitar on Friday. ❤
@@LesterMitchell Thanks I really did want that Gibson Standard Les Paul so I hope so…🤞
At first I thought that you just got an actual Gold top Les Paul😆
This guitar looks and sounds killer. And judging how hard you shred and how effortlessly you sweep on that guitar, it's definetely not a Gibson😂 awesome review🎸👍 greetings from Lotasticland
Haha thanks my dude! Yeah this guitar is next level for sure. It shreds!
Love that guitar great sound as always thank you 🙏 😊
No worries! Thanks for watching dude
Great presentation. I have a W 400, cause a KAS 50 was out of stock for so long.
Thanks man! Also that's a sick model!
AIO have an amazing selection of guitars and basses.
Absolutely. Amazing company!
Very nice guitar but Amazing playing !
Thanks my friend!
Man you play really good. Nice guitar.
Thanka a lot man! 🙏
I have one Wolf guitar, and one AIO guitar, love them both.
That's killer! I bet they sound great
Bravo!!!!! Great playing...excellent review. Wondering what you were playing thru pedals etc...? Thanks
Hey thanks man! I was running through the abasi neural DSP plugin since I wasn't able to use an amp at the time of filming.
@@LesterMitchell thanks bro…
Dude your leads are tasty ! Cheers !
Thanks a lot my dude!
Sweet guitar and genius playing.
Thanks a lot my friend! 🙏
Nice guitar, KOOL tune at the end !!!
Thanks my dude!

Hey there! I haven't tried them yet. Do they setup their guitars as well? I really enjoy how AiO sets everything up before it leaves the shop
@@LesterMitchell Not sure, but mine came set up very well. I didn't need to touch anything.
Very nice and sounds great.
Thanks! It's an awesome axe
Been looking for a gold top with a 60s profile.
Nice playing
Thanks man!
So, I'm late to the party on this one, but if anyone reads this and has the answer I woyld be grateful! What is the difference between these (SC series) and the Wolf series?
Good question! I'm not entirely sure either. This is my first AIO guitar. You can call their store though for more info.
Really wish these guitars would come with different head stock.
A 200.00 guitar and a 200.00 setup. Throw in 100.00 for profit, how could you go wrong? Excellent business model.
Cool song brother!!!
Thanks man!
Play Skynnard, Man!
What's that thing you're playing at 7:37?
Hey dude! It's a string skipping arpeggio sequence. I have the tabs in my discord server 👍 discord.gg/sZ3SRmZ7
Great video, performance, and original tune Lester! This beautiful and affordable guitar seemed to be there all the way with you!
Thanks a lot my friend! I appreciate that! Also, cool to see another Mitchell!
Is it available in black (with chrome hardware) ????
I see a black SC77 model on their site but it unfortunately has the gold hardware as well. No chrome.
is it heavy? How much does it weigh?
The site says 9lbs. It definitely feels like it.
Hey Lester! How did that G string hold up??
It's killer 😎
So what is the catch? How can a guitar be built with these specs and be a direct ripoff of a Gibson for 500 dollars?
@@ToddH76 No catch! And haven't had any issues yet. I'll report back ASAP if anything happens
i love me some butter 😋
Haha absolutely
Show the headstock.
Hey dude! The headstock is shown a few times during section 1 in the promo video shots.
It helps to have long, thin fingers.
It's a blessing and a curse!
Check out Roy Clark sometime with short fat fingers
With you playng, you could sell a broomstick with a string on it. Lol!
😂 Broom shred
I must be the lucky one. My guitar from them was unplayable. The nut was so low the bridge had to be jacked up all the way to make it playable. Had a new nut installed plays fine now. Definitely not a pro setup.
Buy Gibson Les Paul custom and save money
Did you even watch the video? How could you miss the point of it? It is about having other options than only the “big dogs” like Gibson.
Never buy gibson. Too many other better quality guitars out there. I own two aio's. Sold my gibson lp to buy more of these.
@@C.Rig21 not until you try a custom shop made Gibson guitar
