DON’T EVEN get me going, lol. I’m 63, and the price of gear during the 70s was such that the idea of owning a real guitar such as a Gibson and a real amp such as a Fender, was literally a fantasy. You had to luck the F out and find something in a pawn shop or a garage sale, which I very luckily did. One hippy music store, “Arnold & Morgan”, had piles of Gretches, Rickenbackers, the more obscure and out-of-favor Fenders such as Mustangs and Jags, etc, in a corner stacked up, like they were garbage. They weren’t displayed like the “respectable” guitars were. Then, gear from the 50s and 60s weren’t “classic”, they were just “old”. That stack would probably be worth a couple of hundred grand now. After finally landing a vomity burger-flipping job after school/weekends, I went there and snagged a Fender Mustang for $100. Although I was paying cash, the ponytail Heart hippies working there held me up so they could call their friends to come down so they could help them laugh at me, lol. They were rolling on the floor as I walked out with it. Side note: the only Fenders allowed then were Teles and Strats. Another one, lol. Then, there were only about 2 other ppl in my entire school who played guitar. Not that I “played “ guitar; I was still struggling to get as good as Johnny Ramone. It wasn’t like now, where half the ppl you pass in Walmart are robot-perfect consummate musicians. Someone brought an acoustic to school, and I was walking around in the commons area strumming G and D chords (the only thing I could confidently do yet). Everybody were SO IMPRESSED. One guy, paralyzed with awe, said “Do that again!”, and I hit a G chord, and his mouth just dropped. The bullies were being all “ I didn’t know that dork was THAT COOL”, and the chicks were looking at me like they wanted to rip my Fruit Of The Looms off with their teeth. …Sorry about the encyclopedia, lol. I’ll finally shut up now. Okay, one more; can’t help myself.. Me and some friends had it all as far as being ready to form a punk rock band. We even had a few originals (“My Toilet Hasn’t Flushed In 7 Weeks”, “Let’s Rape The Teacher”, “I Wanna Suck Your Earwax”, etc). We had all the elements…,Except for gear.
Fantastic video! I think this is a good first guitar as it is actually about the same price as a DYI kit. It's also pretty with a rich dark sound. Great starting point. So close to 5 k come on everyone make it happen!
Had to pick one of these up after watching the video and it arrived today - wow! Blown away by what $160 can get, wild. Glossy finish and such a looker, plays pretty decent as well. Blows away the feet buzzing Epiphone I paid more for 25 years ago when I was just starting out.
Dood.... I just found your channel and.......... I love it! You sir,if I may call you sir,are a breath of somewhat fresh air. The guitar looks pretty sweet for 159 bones. I subscribed and am looking forward to much more questionable yet groovy content! Thanks again sir....
I’ve watched this vid a dozen times… you are a great personality for RUclips !!! So, I ordered one and I hope it’s glossy like yours…… but I will put chrome covers on the pickups and maybe change the pickup rings to black… keep up the good comedy!!!! Btw…. These have sold out on Amazon… there were 10 left when I ordered one….. They sold because of your video !!!! Good work !
Idc what anyone says. The quality of the big boys is in decline and the quality of the chepo Chinese are in the rise. If your paying more than 1k for a guitar your either a gear snob or you just really want what your getting.
The leo jaymz are unreal. I bought 2. I have a bottom shelf ibanez 121, $200... I swear it's shred on a stick. It's not that it's "great for $200", it's just great. If you think the guitar world us at a golden age, you should checkout the piano/keyboard world. For $99 you can get a keyboard/midi/synth lol .....with software
greed and advertising money is what kills the big brands. Fender necks are never duplicated accurately that is why I still buy Squier even though at that price there are better options overseas. You spend all your time on the neck so it matters. Ultimately I will just learn to appreciate a different neck and kill my addiction to Fender necks.
I have always been a proponent of the "sound comes from the player and any gear can sound good" mindset. I have been playing for thirty years plus. My first guitar was a Ventura SG copy, I loved it. My second was a cheap $99 thing, and I played the thing to death. I am currently playing a LeoJaymz and aside from the look and paint job, it is a really nice feeling guitar. Neck is made for speed. They are basically charging for nostalgia and ties to specific sponsored artists names these days. To hell with Gibsons prices, same for Fender and Jackson and more of these legacy brands that happen to still be around somehow.
As someone who owns several expensive $3k+ Big Boy guitars, I am AMAZED at how much better the guitars have gotten 🙂 You nailed it, nowadays you can get great guitars for around $700-$1000. New guitar players are quite lucky 🙂
I'm a headless fan (of guitars)... otherwise wishing for as much head as possible. ☺Though aesthetically, headless necks tend to look better on shorter body guitars. Just sayin'. But if it's good for you, who am I to say otherwise. 👍
I believe the binding is actually part of the maple cap on top of the guitar, maybe you can do a video inside the cavitys to check it out, like to see the back of the pickups too, and maybe the control cavity too, just to see what we need to upgrade one of these.
@@Dave6SS ; If it has a maple cap I will be flabbergasted with amazement. I would think that would've taken the price up into at least the $300-400 range. I kinda doubt the binding is even real wood. Not a complaint, I love the way it looks.
As I soon the binging, I thought it was a maple cap. seems to be flame maple flame show through the binding. there was a couple used Vogla guitars at GC a few months ago but I thought the neck to be chunky for me.
You know you are an old rocker when you whip out the finger ease. I am 62 and have used it since I was 14. It preserves your strings if you spray it and wipe it down.
If you wanna eventually make your "maple" fretboard unrepairable (at this price who cares) throw some Armor all on it. In all seriousness; it'll make a glossed fretboard feel like slick glass. I use to love it for this but it turns out that it's permeating and will eventually get into the wood. Meaning that once the finish is gone you won't be able to greet another finish to adhere. If that's not a concern then DO IT! USE Armor All on it. It's incredible. I'm not even kidding. Fret Grease is a not so close second but it's good. Basically Armor All gives you that freshly sprayed feeling for hours of play. It builds up and gets even better. Just be don't forget what I wrote. It WILL make the wood too slick and even eventually cause the finish to flake away. If you don't plan on playing it for years, everyday for hours though... Might be worth it. You're welcome. Really. I just gave away a secret. Just know the costs to the neck.
@@Dave6SS It's true though! For real. I'm not even kidding about this. It essentially gets rid of almost all friction on the neck and fretboard. I thought I had found THE secret until I found out why it works so well and what it means for the wood beneath.* It keeps the board clean too. Just have to wipe it. Nothing sticks to the neck. That's the problem once the finish is gone. It makes the parts you wipe so smooth that NOTHING will stick AND it actually permeates. It's true that the wood is therefore smoother but sadly not as smooth as with the finish that you can no longer have. Oh and 🍻 *No lie, I actually bought a bunch of cans of Fret Grease after I discovered the costs. It's great but it ain't Amor All Man. It's not.
Man I had to subscribe . Love. The real factor you so generously atune to. We resonate man and I wish you the best of luck with the podcast. Rock On and never doubt . If red green was a rocker . Hey this is good . Yeah I'm crazy too😂
Maybe a darker cap like a 0.033 on the bridge pickup or splurge and get some Fleor for $30. Try D'angelico ROCK strings. I know they are 10 bucks but well worth it!
Doubt you’d like the satin look that I got back in Sept when I ordered mine. This has tons more of the purple popping out and wish mine was high gloss. My face is a sticker . I didn’t mess with it and stuck it back in the box and never messed with it I was so bummed. Quality looks decent.
You had me laughing . But seriously these inexpensive guitars are absolutely amazing now . This one looks great and sounds good for the price ! Great review !
The downside of companies, like - just off the top of my head - PRS (not that this is a perfect replica of a PRS SE or anything) - making their guitars in Asia is that it’s fairly easy to email your friend in China the CNC program so that they can make a cheap knockoff that looks identical to the one costing several times more. And as a consumer, you have the option of buying a guitar from his friend, no question. And I have no issue with Chinese factory workers moonlighting to make guitars to ship to the US. But, frankly, I’d rather pay someone in the US or our neighbors in Mexico instead of paying more taxes to cover more welfare payments for unemployed former factory workers here in my own country. Everyone else do what you want, no judgement from me, but I like knowing my guitar was made in the US, the money went to workers in the US, and some guy or gal took home a paycheck to feed their families here in the good ole USA.
Hello,im ordering the purple tomorrow,payday,then wait to NGD my favorite day of the month,im gonna call her #18,yup 18,im just like you a sucker for GOOD cheap guitars,i love ur stuff buddy,no not that,lol,well maybe a little,seeya soon get it open come on,lol,jim from maine😅
That purple guitar has a lot of Balls lol. but that Amp sounds killer you could plug a hello kitty guitar into that Amp and sound killer But that guitar definitely has Balls.. Rock on Dude
My wife's favorite color... Purple 💜😍 and the color of my Football 🏈 Team The Ravens 🐦⬛ 🏈 🎸🎶. Love this guitar. Change Nut to Bone . I wish the Chinese Guitars would LEARN TO HAVE THIN NECK GUITARS For Shredding like Ibanez..Kramer ESP Jackson Guitars... The reading for pickups is not the only important thing.. Magnetic 🧲 Size How tightly wound. Shape of pickups dictate tone tall long Brightness 🔆 Squatty like Humbuckers is Warmer. Personally I like Ernie Ball Strings.... Personal Decision... Sounds Great 💯.. Question ❓⁉️ off topic The FESELY YOU REVIEWED LAST WEEK. Did you ever get the Low E String in Tune ?????? Scar my guitar said he had to move the bridge about 1/2" down to intonate the guitar & the low wasn't in tune & all the fone tunners on the bridge 🌉 were maxxed out .. There are however several other things that could have been causing it... Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶
New subscriber here. Love the sense of humor; assuming it is in fact a sense of humor and not true mental disturbance (per the t-shirt). Love it either way. Also love the guitar, especially the wood-ish (?) binding. Very glad that you weighed the guitar, 4/5 reviewers do not. And the pickup 'measurement' is a good thing too. One question; does that binding have a 'soft contour' to it? It kinda seems like it does. I don't like the typical sharpish edges of most guitars on the soft, white underbelly of my forearm.
Hey thanks for the sub man..Lol I am very sarcastic in my vids with my invisible staff..im not mental Lol I don't think. As far as the binding it's a smooth rolled edge..Thanks For Watching 😎🍻
Entertaining review sir. With all due respect , you really should go thru all the pickup selections using a clean(maybe slightly compressed) tone ,to really demonstrate what the instrument sounds like WITHOUT distortion/overdrive on ALL THE TIME. As one previous comment mentioned you could run just about any cheap humbucker thru an overdrive/distortion tone & mask how the pickups actually sound. Thanks for the review though. Very interesting and well presented.
I was gonna say mine is Satin finished I put a set of PRS Locking tuners... was gonna change the electronics....and pickups...but that's all good the way it came. Oh and the neck on mine is not that thick. Oh and I put Dunlop locking straplocks..... is that a oxi mowron...maybe I took to many oxies😅
Yeah this must be the updated version..like I said the pictures on Amazon were flat or satin..Love the Guitar..ha ha Got another on the way in a different color to see if it's as goid as the other
I bought the purple one and the G string won’t tune so need to check the nut slot and see if it to tight. I was bummed because the purple is so dull and darker than the photos in the ad,
I was at a Guitar Center one day and I checked out a Jackson Dinky and I put it back on the rack and someone bumped it and it was on the bottom rack it slipped off and hit the carpeted floor the Neck broke like an Eggshell I thought they were made better.
@@robertvance1873 Jackson budget guitars are made in China and Indonesia. Mid to high end are made in USA and produced at Corona and Fender's Ensenada facility. Japan stopped making them in the mid 90s I believe.
The BC Rich is the Bronze series..it was a search and Rescue Series..Called the ABYSS..the series in in my playlist..found the guitar on ebay for $60 and redid the entire Guitar..Check it out
Loved the video. I just ordered one of them purple ones just like in the video. Can’t wait to try it out. I hope mine is gonna be glossy like that and also have a chunky neck! Thanks again 🤘🤠🎸
There are so many of these cheap guitar manufacturers I’m beginning to wonder if they’re real and just coming out of a handful of factories in places like Moejoingpyongongmyamyam.
Both are great..I believe both are about the same in price as well..with the Fesley you get a bit more things..Gigbag..tuner..Strap picks. So the Fesley is a better value..as far as the Guitars they are both Great..guess it's personal preference on what you want..honestly can't go wrong either way
@@Dave6SS , no you don’t. But you didn’t show how the guitar sounded. We heard the high gain, distorted sound etc. but what does the guitar sound like? You could be the best or worst guitarist and still get the best sound out of it. Any guitar can be made to sound like you made it but what does the guitar sound like?
@@Dave6SS , and I don’t think you’re a bad player at all. If you want to compare yourself to the greatest? DONT!!! You nor I will ever get there. That doesn’t mean we’re bad.
It has been discovered by “Guitar Max” that some of the low cost guitars coming in from China have lead in their fret metal-the very parts that we handle the most. This presents the possibility for lead poisoning.@@Dave6SS

😂😂🤘🍻
Geeeinah!
I was at a Guitar Center one day and I checked out a Jackson Dinky and I put it back on the rack and someone bumped it and it was on the bottom rack it slipped off and hit the carpeted floor the Neck broke like an Eggshell I thought they were made better.
Not the ones made in China.
@@DavidSmith-vc5rnThey are made in Japan, look up Jackson Dinky .
Love the look of this guitar. Wondering what it would sound like with new strings and set up. Right out of the box it did well.
@@DavidSmith-vc5rn They are Made in Japan.
@@robertvance1873 Jackson budget guitars are made in China and Indonesia. Mid to high end are made in USA and produced at Corona and Fender's Ensenada facility. Japan stopped making them in the mid 90s I believe.
I have a Arkane 66 Lag first one I love
what is the brandname of the b.c.rich ish guitar beside the b.c.rich?
The BC Rich is the Bronze series..it was a search and Rescue Series..Called the ABYSS..the series in in my playlist..found the guitar on ebay for $60 and redid the entire Guitar..Check it out
Loved the video. I just ordered one of them purple ones just like in the video. Can’t wait to try it out. I hope mine is gonna be glossy like that and also have a chunky neck! Thanks again 🤘🤠🎸
Awesome Man enjoy 🤘😎
So a budget PRS custom 24? Volgoa is full of surprises!
Lol yes they are 🍻😎
There are so many of these cheap guitar manufacturers I’m beginning to wonder if they’re real and just coming out of a handful of factories in places like Moejoingpyongongmyamyam.
🤣🤣 Probably
One huge improvement over the "real deal": No wrap around bridge...
Right 😎🤘🍻
Perfect box opening music. Just saying
🤘😎🍻
Best joke delivery ever
🤣🤣
Ok now play ‘Til there was you’!
Hmm..not sure about that one
Cool I’ll keep my Jackson soloist instead 💯🎸🔥💣💪🏼🎵
Nothing wrong with a Jackson..Thanks for Watching 😎🍻
Good sounding guitar.
😎🍻🤘
I tagged you in a video lol
Unfortunately, new strings cannot cure bad pickups.
STANNNNGGGER HELL YEAH 🤣
Hey stranger? Where you located? Like ur pic on guitars thanks bro
In Ohio..Thanks for your Support
They got the name wrong on the headstock. It's supposed to say, Paul Reed Smith.
🤣🤣 Absolutely 🍻
I liked it . I need a new guitar god bless man
Thank you kind sir..you as well
So between this Volgoa and the Fesleys, which do you prefer? Maybe do an afforable e guitar comparison?
Both are great..I believe both are about the same in price as well..with the Fesley you get a bit more things..Gigbag..tuner..Strap picks. So the Fesley is a better value..as far as the Guitars they are both Great..guess it's personal preference on what you want..honestly can't go wrong either way
Fesleys are "Elecratric" guitars
(so the box says)
🤣🤣😎🍻
😎 🆒
Hey could I mention you in one of my videos please let me know thank you Joe
Sure Man Why not 🤘😎
Awesome thank you I'll tag you when I do. I really like watching your channel keep rocking
How would I know if it sounded good? 🤔
We all know that I suck at playing but was hoping it sounded good at least
@@Dave6SS , no you don’t. But you didn’t show how the guitar sounded. We heard the high gain, distorted sound etc. but what does the guitar sound like? You could be the best or worst guitarist and still get the best sound out of it. Any guitar can be made to sound like you made it but what does the guitar sound like?
Ahh..got ya..I need to remember to do the cleans..your right man
@@Dave6SS , and I don’t think you’re a bad player at all. If you want to compare yourself to the greatest? DONT!!! You nor I will ever get there. That doesn’t mean we’re bad.
Did you check the frets for lead?
They are md jumbo nickle frets
It has been discovered by “Guitar Max” that some of the low cost guitars coming in from China have lead in their fret metal-the very parts that we handle the most. This presents the possibility for lead poisoning.@@Dave6SS
Nice diddy!
🤣🤣
Sounds pretty good. Love the color. Nice guitar. I didn't say tittie! Lol
🤣🤣🤘😎🍻
I went to fart and pooped a little in my pantz.
🤣👍🍻
