I appreciate your review. I have high end and super cheap bargain bin guitars and enjoy them all. This thing looks cool. I can’t understand guitar snobbery.
Great playing and overall a nice looking guitar sounds pretty alright. But intonation should be an easy fix, as in it would drive me crazy to keep playing on a badly intonated guitar. Or did you intonate already and it was still of tune?
Setting the intonation is a minor issue. The guitar is made of SWAMP ASH hence, the weight. High quality furniture. Excellent sounding pups. Fit and finish are par excellence. Worth way more than $200. Much better value than any Gibson you could buy, today. P-90 pups are not for "high-gain" application. They are growly enough and with a little distortion, bark like a rabid dog. Check it out --------> ruclips.net/video/dRr2uX-KXLM/видео.html
Missy Victoria I don’t know if I’d say the fit and finish are “excellent” but a few months later I still enjoy playing it, so it’s certainly worth the money in my book.
@Missy - Swamp ash is an excellent and very popular tone wood and it's normally pretty light weight. It is not inherently heavy nor comparable to furniture (I assumed that was a slam on the wood.) Perhaps you're confusing SWAMP ash with NORTHERN ash - which is very hard, heavy, and bright and typically not considered a good tone wood (although still used a lot because it's cheap and abundant.) Because SWAMP ash is normally light, heavy pieces are not desirable and thus obtainable for a much lower price hence it being used on cheap guitars like this. I just ordered the TV yellow two pickup version and look forward to tinkering with it. My concern isn't the ash wood as much as the fit and finish of the neck and frets.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why people buy super cheap bargain bin guitars and spend heaps of time running them down on you tube,what did you expect PRS quality,geez for what you paid you should just do some work to fix it and spare us the slagfest
I liked the video and comments esp. but maybe u should watch it again blindfolded : TONE, the way u point out negatives or flaws you do sound like a snob … it’s $200 u can’t be over critical with that tone… should have laughed away the flaws as easy fixes…. 🎸

It's a great punk rock guitar. I want one
$199?? Maybe they got popular and went up in price bc these are the cheapest of the models as far as I know and are $229 before tax and shipping!
It’s been a few years since he released the video…
But retail is $479!!
Awesome! Thx for this review

No, this was pretty much right out of the box. You’re right, solid setup took care of almost everything. It’s definitely a fun instrument!

Its good for ACDC style rythm parts? Like Malcolm on a budget lol Thanks!
I think it would sound really good for that type of situation.

John Donnellan I’m confused. I pointed out some goofy construction issues, but overall I liked the guitar. What part was a “slagfest”?
@@JeffreyParsons what the hell was this person’s problem.
@@mannydecastro8604 dunno. It’s the internet. People are weird.
