    Well who couldn’t resist the “Latested Design” of their “Elecratric Guitar?” I’m intrigued!

      What would it cost to run the text through a grammer/ spell checker, nothing.
      When travelling in my youth we used to look through restaurant menus for the crazy descriptions and mad spelling mistakes, especially in India, one of the favourites was "New Item" and if you asked what it was they looked at you as if you were mad and said "it is new item"

    It’s a good charvell copy flat Radius hard mounted pickups fast neck profile with set up work pickup change it’s a lot like a charvell I would get one and fix it up put a fat brass or or steel trem block on it I think I could Make it sing you could put a better neck on it’s not a stock strat style the tuning problem is the slots in the nut are to narrow widen them and lube it no moor tuning problems.

    Fesley is not a company but a trademark owned by a Chinese corporation that has other product lines such as sports equipment and toys.
    That guitar doesn't look bad at all but if they really want to compete in a saturated market they will have to come up with something really special and start with the basic strategy of creating series, serializing the instruments, etc.
    This reminds me of the first edition of the Firefly guitars, also from China, that was sold out within months because the quality of the guitars was outstanding.

    • @FesleyMusic

  • @Comedycutzz
    @Comedycutzz Год назад +5

    it doesnt sound in tune even when youve tuned it it sounds terrible , even for an affordable guitar it sounds terrible im my honest opinion this is the type of guitar that would discourage a youngster an affordable squire would be better option but i dont know what you paid for it looks like cheap plastic , this is only my opinion I just think this isnt up to the job but what do i know
    edit
    i just checked and its 219 dollars id rather save a little more i think , it is a good video to show you what you get for the money though

  • @jrg770

    Seeing it is meant as a beginner guitar the box is no lie. The writing on the box. This guitar seems leaps better than many of our first beginner guitars and did not those guitars do for all of you what he box says ? 🍻No doubt this one will too, if it is your introduction to guitar. 🎸🧡

  • @Ogrelord5150
    @Ogrelord5150 Год назад +3

    Elecratric, lol, that's what I noticed when you were going though the box. They should have added an F to make the word craft, would make it seem clever imho, lol. In any case, for the money seems really nice. I remember blowing a lot more cash on my first guitar and that one was truly a POS. If I would have gotten something like this, especially after Z's setup instead, my early guitar journey would have been a lot nicer.

    I went with Donner, for my HSS strat-ish guitar choice. A friend of mine bought a fesley recently. Seeing that one, and yours here, I'd say they're improving the LA Tested Design. Now, at least you can choose with elecratic guitars. Autocratic ones shoot you for missed notes

    I remember that in the 1980's even cheap guitar were expensive. They were also really poor most of the time. I paid a lot my not-so-cheap Epiphone back then! Not even a solid top, it was pure coated pile wood. That was the only range of cheap guitar made by the big two players. The cheap guitars were unbraded stuff, made in Italy, England. China was not making guitars yet.

    I bought 2 Grote guitars, I really like the Gibson es125t copy, the thinline tele copy was OK too. The es 125t copy needed the pickup raised to make it sound good, now it sounds good plugged in but even better as an acoustic. I also like the Donner DST 400 strat copy a lot.

    The only thing really bad is the control placement, why 3 knobs and a selector placed here ? Stupid, a classic control placement like an ibanez or a charvel would been great. It's a no go for me just for that reason.

    I think this video might set some world record for how many times you can mispronounce a name. Is the name "Wesley" pronounced "Weesley?" Is the name "Leslie" pronounced "Leeslie?" Is the car maker Tesla pronounced Teesla? Was Elvis's last name pronounced "Preesley?"
    Then why in the world would Fesley be pronounced Feesley?
    It's "Fesley" with a short E vowel sound. You know, rhyming with Wesley, Leslie, or Elvis Presley. Derp.
    Sure, It's a minor and somewhat irrelevant gripe when it comes to the guitar itself, but when you say it literally like a 180 times in the first few minutes of the video, it's maddening. 🙄
