I just ordered one, 108.74 with tax. Your reviews are so helpful. I'm 68, just started playing ( 2.5 years in) and on limited budget. I appreciate all your flipflappen, and golden words of wisdom. Thanks!!! You remind me of late buddy I grew up with, .... f'ken crazy as hell, but was the best of friends one could have. UPDATE: Arrived, Red model nice, no visual hick-ups and electronics function fine., and WOW yes that neck is awesome by my limited understanding , going to change strings with 9s, check relief and intonation (the extent of my knowledge - but learning with the help of this very informative channel), will further update.
@@fabieneldridge3414 Keep going brother, I saw Bo Diddly playing in a bar when I was just 18, during his break I got the courage to walk over and talk to him when he was drinking a beer. (I was a drummer back then and never went far and talked about it to him about struggling.) I'll never forget when he started his next set he looked at me and said "Don't kiss that baby goodby, I may be and old man but look at what I got." Man, drums never worked out - no place to practice...... So now there is a guitar in almost every room and by my bed. God bless, you can do this.
😱😱😱 Cathy, thanks for finding that thing. Sean, thanks for making sure it’s playable and gonna be killer - and enduring another girly looking guitar lol. And thanks to the people who always give money on the live streams because I’m directly benefiting from your kindness. You’re all collectively making this possible. We have a great group of people who participate in this channel, and I am deeply grateful for this guitar - and all the fun we have together! On the surface, this channel is about Scarring Guitars. When you really get to know everyone, it’s about kindness, friendship, and good times. That’s what I’m gonna think about every time I pick it up to play. 😇🙏🏻🎸🤘🏻❤️🔥 I can’t wait to show everyone what Hughie thinks when the guitar gets here - he’s gonna love it too! He really, REALLY loves music. This dog would listen to music all day and night if I let him. Oh wow! I cannot believe that find. The neck on that thing looks crazy! Rosewood?! Polished, level frets with a bone nut?! I was expecting to hear you say the nut was plastic, but guess not. The pots are fine if they work - I don’t know why people have a problem with dimes. There are more expensive guitars that have dimes. They aren’t likely to wear out or cause problems unless you’re playing like EVH. 😂 I mean, is the guitar perfect?! Of course not - but is your buddy gonna check the cavity to see if the routing is perfect while you’re jamming?! At this price, it’s an amazing option that plays great. About shielding, here’s an easy thing people can do to know if your guitar needs shielding: put your cell phone near the pickups. That’s how you’ll know if the cavity really needs shielding - cell phones and electronics (particularly wireless radios for WiFi and Bluetooth) often make them have noise. Electronics in amps, TV’s, and even plugs from outlets can do it too. Sometimes the pickups don’t make noise until you bring them near some electronics lol. It’s probably fine, but that’s often why guitars get shielded. The cell phone is a great test because they’re the most likely to be close to your guitar whether it’s set on a nearby table or in a pocket - give it a try and see what happens! 😉👍🏻 Thanks again! ❤😊
Man that is a pretty sweet deal Sean, had to find something to do to it cause it was so good. Also I have no clue how to pronounce the name of that guitar lmao!!! 😂 Thanks for the shout out as well and all the help and encouragement to do a channel. See you soon brotha!
I bought a Fojill as a Christmas gift to myself - This same model in metallic pink for $99 on Amazon. I just wanted to see what would show up for that $ and I was absolutely knocked out! The finish is actually more rose gold and it's flawless - 'Beautiful neck as well. 'May swap electronics and add locking tuners but even as is ... DAYUM!
20 years ago, you couldn't find a used beat-up neck for what you can buy a really decent guitar for now! And you can always upgrade it as fast or as slow as you want... The CNC Machines have made knocking out guitars like knocking out widgets! The fact that the "big guys" are still getting anything more than $1,000.00 for ANY GUITAR 🎸 😮 is a mystery 🤔 to me. I was a professional musician and a professional audio engineer in Las Vegas for 40 years. I did an "Industry Event" for Gibson Guitars in 2005. One of the "Suits" told me that it cost them (including labor, power bill, property insurance, and every other penny that you could imagine in including in the cost) about $360.00 for a Les Paul Standard that sells for $3,000.00!!! God bless and take care...
Definitely something you can buy to your son or daughter as their first guitar. It's good enough so they won't hate playing guitar and you. And for 100 something USD? It's looking really good.
As a musican, it makes me smile to see affordable instruments that are decent quality. More affordable good instruments mean more musicians and more music. And music is what makes the world go round.
It's amazing that the Chinese factories making these guitars can offer a lot of bang for the buck now a days. Roasted maple necks,good fit and finish, decent pickups? How do they do it? Great review as usual Sean! And kudos to Kathy for picking out a killer color too! 😉👌
Pretty sure they dyed the neck and didn't roast it. I noticed the truss rod hole was normal maple color. A Chinese company I dealt with dyed the wood and didn't actually roast it.
That is how thick the ceramic magnet on the single coil pickups on my Silvertone. All I had to do was put all three in a cake pan with with the pickguard propped up and melted candle wax on the kitchen stove and they came to life and I brakleened ( red can) the pots and solder connections. It is like new, and loud. My granddaughter is really smart and helped me. 9-42 Super Slinky’s in place of the 10s. I still can’t play well because of nerves. I can’t sign my own name.. But it sounds good. She found a made in Vietnam stamping and Samick on it. And she read that they went to China in 1987. She said it’s quartersawn by listening to you describe it and she wants to help me build my HH TeleStratLesPaul Special, lol.
Wow! Got lucky and bought this immediately on your recommendation in the color I really wanted, scored shipped for less than 100$. I've bought five other lower cost guitars this year just for fun, and this is by far the best of the sub 500$ models I can compare it with. The rosewood fret board is most reminiscent of a nice Danelectro, and the sustain and ring un-amplified is warm and bright even with the junk strings that shipped from the factory. I haven't evaluated the pickups yet, the action is a little high, but you really hit it on the head this time, thanks for sharing. Great job. I would like to see what a pickup upgrade would do for this guitar? Something reasonable in price???
There’s an interesting trick I was informed about setting the neck, which is after installing the strings and tuning it up, you then slightly unloosen all four neck screws allowing the tension of the strings to “set the neck” and then re tighten the screws afterward. I tried this on a few of my guitars, I could hear the neck pop not crack as the strings pulled it into the pocket. Maybe give it a try.
Does it stay in tune after using the whammy bar ??? You should demonstrate that aspect, it would be very helpful. I appreciate your honesty in these reviews and the fact that you buy all these guitars, they aren't sent to you for your evaluation by the manufacturer. Keep up the good work, and a shout out to your other half. And believe me, I would never SCAR your guitar, not as long as you carry that mini-machete that you use to open those shipping cartons. LOL!!
I love your channel. As a huge fan of cheap guitars I appreciate you and Kathy. The problem is, you've run Amazon out of stock on these! I BLAME YOU!!!
Watched a ton of your videos. I am horrible about commenting but try to at least like every video. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy all your videos and I've learned a ton watching them. Keep it coming!
What's weird is the neck heel holes aren't spaced properly. Is the neck plate on straight? Seems this company prides itself on it's painting and woods and the rest is overlooked.
Hey Sean...Excellent review! Talk about bang for the buck! Wish I would have had a guitar like that for my first electric when I was a kid. Appreciate you listing the tools and parts you use on the upgrades. I know you're a fan of D'addario Strings, I was going to ask you which ones, but Yup!...You have them listed. I would like to ask what are you playing through, Amplitube or something? You sound good, enjoy your playing too. Thanks again for these reviews, and take care...
I ordered one just like this even the same color. It should be here in 2 days. Also I play guitar left handed. You are a really good salesman when you can sell a left handed player a right handed guitar. I think you could sell ice to an Eskimo.
My fojill arrived today. It is just like yours Sean, even the same color. I like it. It seems great! Especially for such a low price. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a guitar like this. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. I like your videos. Cathy’s videos also. The two of you teach me a lot.
overhead. i make knives. we have a model that is like a swiss army knife. a swiss army knife can be bought from $50--200, our knives start at $240 and go way up from there.just in parts the base model knife costs $67.50 plus machining time, plus polishing time, plus assembly time, then sharpening and finally inspection and packaging. which brings the total cost fpr product to $120. we could go to china and have these all made and packaged for us to sell for less than 25% the cost but our entire market is made in america. stupid is as stupid does. China skips all those inspection and safety parts that cost and pump out duplicates all day long, its a counterfeit market and they are great at it but ask them to make something new and unique and they will be stumped.
I have to admit those are nice guitars and great guitars after you set them up. I hate saying it but we don’t have anywhere to take a guitar to be set up. Oh they can change strings but that’s about it. I’m terrible but guess I’m no worse than the guitar shop. I have a Tele in my closet that I paid to have a nut changed , I hate what he did. The old nut was at least decent. I have a Carvin that has never played right. I’m to deep in it to sell or trade. It’s a beautiful paper weight. You could do a whole show around it! It’s a trip to Nashville for any real guitar work. I’m old and can’t drive 6 Hours there and back. Be a old gimp never gets any easier. Keep cranking them out ! Great videos ! 🏍🎼🇺🇸👍🎸
I'm in a similar situation. I've got a wall hanger that's got plenty wrong with it. Like you, there really isn't anyone around here that works on them. At least not that I trust anyway. The one in this video is pretty nice for what you get, but it still needed a good setup by someone that knowswhattheyaredoing. I just wonder about consistency. If someone bought ten of them, how many of those would be playable and how many would be crap?
Wow! What an amazing instrument for the money. That neck and fret job is just awesome. How can they do it so cheaply? Who cares if it's pink.... lol! It sounds awesome.
You finally got “A” Fojill. I bought the relic one that I was trying to get you to get awhile back. It’s really nice for the money it’s quality. I haven’t seen this one yet but I bet it’s amazing. Mine was all mahogany.
Hey man! Did you gig pro/semi-pro? You got some chops. Be fun to have you get your buds together and have an online jam/hangout next time. Hey to the missus! Thanks for the great content and Best Regards and Best Wishes!
I just looked this up to see if they had any and now the price is $149.00 When you were checking the neck and you said about what people are commenting on what you're doing. So can you tell me if this was just another RUclipsr gone wrong? I was asking a question about restringing my guitar and the first thing the guy told me is that I have to take all my clothes off. I said what is that for he told me every clothing maker product adds small fragments of material that comes off and when your guitar string is not tight enough that the fabric turns back up turning it up. Also for some reason I had to FaceTime him the whole time I was working on my guitar. That's normal right? Or should I call an adult. Of course at my age it would be hard to find somebody older. -)
The pickups are big antennas, so not sure what good shielding the cavity is going to do. I've read all kinds of arguments, some suggest that single coils benefit, while humbuckers not so much. One guy even tried to claim that the shielding would change the resonance of the wood and affect the tone 🤦♂. Sounds like a good science project. Until someone can demonstrate a significant difference under normal operating conditions, I'm not worrying about it. I'm beginning to think that guitar guys are even worst than car guys when it comes to bickering over fine points that probably mean nothing in reality 😁😁
Thanks but a little heavy For me it says 10 lbs and change I have a problem with my Firefly Les Paul that's 9 and change its sitting in the case in the closet I played it about 30 minutes before I put it away
Got the blue flame version in today. It is pretty, the neck feels great, tuners feel slack but it seems to hold tune for a bit. However there may be an electrical ground issue as all the pups have a hum. Also the pickups seem thin., not microphonic, but just no beef to the sound. Will have to pull the covers off the back and investigate.. It isn't too bad for $89. I like it better than the Monoprice Strat I got for $84 from Amazon during Black Friday.
I was just telling somebody the other day that "because" of these Amazon/TEMU budget guitars that end up being so damn nice, why would someone want to buy one of my used Jacksons I have for sale for $150 on marketplace? I cant sell a used "cheap" guitar to save my a$$.
i cant even find that color!!! your link goes to a flame red guitar. maybe thats what they calling that pink/purple color, but it dont look the same to me.
They have that color back now. I just ordered one. I think sometimes they are out of stock but keep checking back and often they will get new inventory.
I bought a Fojill sss Strat that was relict in a sky bluish color . Real Mahogany body with roasted neck for about 130 dollars a few months back. I tore the guts out and put in a new trem , some cheap locking tuners and a loaded pick guard it’s a pretty good guitar but for what I have into it my Firefly Strat and Telecasters are better in my opinion. That said that pink guitar is a looker and sounded great.
Who Found It???? You must be trying to get Cracked 🎸🙆♂️ shame on you for taking credit for my amazing find!
You’re Welcome Everyone! 😂
Great find Cathy!
Hilarious Cathy. Glad he has that cheap helmet.
It is a fantastic find. Although I'd call the color purple. It does look and sound good.
🤣
Did the link change for the guitar ? It went to a different guitar yesterday.
We are nearly at the point where it is more economical to buy a new budget guitar than replace the strings on an existing one.
I just ordered one, 108.74 with tax. Your reviews are so helpful. I'm 68, just started playing ( 2.5 years in) and on limited budget. I appreciate all your flipflappen, and golden words of wisdom.

Almost 65 I’m glad we aren’t alone. I thought I was the only old dummy trying to learn. I just keep trying.

I see the Fojill guitars all the time. Always wonder too. No more good sir
New sub. Just bought one of these before they sold out. 90 bucks is hard to beat. If they’re all as good as the one you reviewed, screaming deal.
They took some wood out of that neck cavity to adjust the neck angle
Sean and Cathy, you have the best channel ever! Very informative !!
That is how thick the ceramic magnet on the single coil pickups on my Silvertone.

Colors go together well
Just bought the blue one.
I like the way they round the back edges on that. Cause if don't sometimes can crack finish taking it out.
Killer axe . Your processes are on point Sean. 👉 that was a hell of a score
If the body edges were rolled more you would be in Ibanez JS territory, or even MAXXAS. Great find for me to give to a beginner. Thanks.
Very nice brother
Wow! Got lucky and bought this immediately on your recommendation in the color I really wanted, scored shipped for less than 100$. I've bought five other lower cost guitars this year just for fun, and this is by far the best of the sub 500$ models I can compare it with. The rosewood fret board is most reminiscent of a nice Danelectro, and the sustain and ring un-amplified is warm and bright even with the junk strings that shipped from the factory.

I would like to see what a pickup upgrade would do for this guitar? Something reasonable in price???
Interesting about bolting the neck to the body by doing the lower screws first but it makes sense.
thanks sean & co.
There’s an interesting trick I was informed about setting the neck, which is after installing the strings and tuning it up, you then slightly unloosen all four neck screws allowing the tension of the strings to “set the neck” and then re tighten the screws afterward. I tried this on a few of my guitars, I could hear the neck pop not crack as the strings pulled it into the pocket. Maybe give it a try.
$90, free delivery...it's almost like stealing. And I love the pink, but the blue and green look pretty nice too.
Does it stay in tune after using the whammy bar ???
You should demonstrate that aspect, it would be very helpful.
I appreciate your honesty in these reviews and the fact that you buy all these guitars, they aren't sent to you for your evaluation by the manufacturer.
Keep up the good work, and a shout out to your other half.
And believe me, I would never SCAR your guitar, not as long as you carry that mini-machete that you use to open those shipping cartons. LOL!!
I have a green one like that...I floated the vibrato/trem and it stays in tune great and plays and sounds amazing for the price!
I love your channel. As a huge fan of cheap guitars I appreciate you and Kathy.
The problem is, you've run Amazon out of stock on these! I BLAME YOU!!!
The claw is screwed in at an angle because the high strings need less spring tension. My EVH Wolfgang is like this out of the factory.
Great review. Your video convinced me to get one of these over the Fesley. I bought 2 and with some minor adjustment they sound awesome. Subbed!
Glad I could help
Frets were good?
Hey Sean and Cathy, happy new year. I was able to see some of the live show. It was pretty fun. Can't wait to see what you're showing in this video.
Cathy's got a good eye for guitars. Yeah even the green ones.

What surprises me more than a great guitar for $109, is that Gibson struggles to do it for $2000.

One thing that I find annoying, is when I click the Amazon link of these guitars, they are just about ALLWAYS "currently unavavailable"....
The pickups are big antennas, so not sure what good shielding the cavity is going to do. I've read all kinds of arguments, some suggest that single coils benefit, while humbuckers not so much. One guy even tried to claim that the shielding would change the resonance of the wood and affect the tone 🤦♂. Sounds like a good science project. Until someone can demonstrate a significant difference under normal operating conditions, I'm not worrying about it. I'm beginning to think that guitar guys are even worst than car guys when it comes to bickering over fine points that probably mean nothing in reality 😁😁
I just grabbed the blue version of this for $89.99 off of Amazon.
I can't find it what's the name thanks
Thanks but a little heavy For me it says 10 lbs and change I have a problem with my Firefly Les Paul that's 9 and change its sitting in the case in the closet I played it about 30 minutes before I put it away
Always great friendly budget guitar thanks you 😊
That single should sound pretty good
What's the difference between pink and purple?........The grip👊😂
😆😆🤣🤣🤣
Never seen these before!? I got the Fogill bass and reviewed it over on my channel. Decent for being so inexpensive.
Doesn't sound like it costs... impressive
Remember in the late 70s and early 80s when a cheap guitar was pretty much junk but nowadays you can get a nice guitar for hardly nothing
I was mean and more like JC Murphy's the very cheap guitar
Dang I was just looking for some info on these guitars 😅
Looks great for a budget!
Got the blue flame version in today. It is pretty, the neck feels great, tuners feel slack but it seems to hold tune for a bit. However there may be an electrical ground issue as all the pups have a hum. Also the pickups seem thin., not microphonic, but just no beef to the sound. Will have to pull the covers off the back and investigate.. It isn't too bad for $89. I like it better than the Monoprice Strat I got for $84 from Amazon during Black Friday.
Frets ok?
I have to break out my fret leveling tools 99% of the time and Sean is getting $100 guitars with perfectly level frets. WTF!
😮 Dam what a good guitar for $109!
Awsome, Sean!😊
Is that trem block carve too tight on the high E side?
That's just crazy for $109!!😊
I was just telling somebody the other day that "because" of these Amazon/TEMU budget guitars that end up being so damn nice, why would someone want to buy one of my used Jacksons I have for sale for $150 on marketplace?
I cant sell a used "cheap" guitar to save my a$$.
How's her playing coming along
look like it could possibly be Ibanez Sa series left over stock ?
This or the fesley Strat ?
No brainer ...this
i cant even find that color!!!
your link goes to a flame red guitar.
maybe thats what they calling that pink/purple color, but it dont look the same to me.
They have that color back now. I just ordered one. I think sometimes they are out of stock but keep checking back and often they will get new inventory.
I bought a Fojill sss Strat that was relict in a sky bluish color . Real Mahogany body with roasted neck for about 130 dollars a few months back. I tore the guts out and put in a new trem , some cheap locking tuners and a loaded pick guard it’s a pretty good guitar but for what I have into it my Firefly Strat and Telecasters are better in my opinion. That said that pink guitar is a looker and sounded great.
I got that one too. Really nice guitar. Sounds beautiful too.
Ceramics that read 9 ohms or more work great.
I like the color a lot
Great sound for the bucks!
The little fender pick holder you put screws in when removeing screws wouldnt it be better with a mechanic magnetic bowl be better ? What i use idk
I got a blue one off Amazon no name but it jams.
I'm not a fan of pink .however that's a sharp looking guitar
Better then most
Getting a good one
You just like to open boxes with that huge knife
Rock on!
The controls and raising and lower pickups to get the sound want then.
