I honestly like how it looks more than most headless guitars lmao
To each their own!
I think they ripped off the design from a MIDI Guitar, called Jamstik Studio :]
Same one of the better looking ones imho
@arichi8936 actually, Jamstik licensed the shape from ALP, and Asmuse did import work for ALP for a while. The Leaf 200, the guitar the shape is based on, is much better than this one though.
@@CherriPicking Interesting - never heard of that! Thanks for the insight :]
I bought one too. I did fret work, pressed frets in, put tungoil on the fretboard. The fretboard is composite. I replaced the bridge pickup and am waiting on the neck and middle and wiring. I like it, it’s fun. I wanted a travel guitar that was really small and didn’t want to spend that much on something like a stienberger spirit. Also a bonus the neck is flamed on mine. I will make a video on my experience at some point. I ordered direct from the asmuse website, I paid like $140.
I'll be looking forward to vid . Cheers
Why not it’s only a water bill payment be fun for a project guitar and if all fails I’ll just put some holes in it AK762/39 then see how she sounds
I love that.
Rumor has it Phil McKnight did the sock test on this guitar and ripped his pants.
Also: at Amazon they suggest a guitar hanger that uses padded hooks that grab onto the headstock. wut...
Lol
I just became aware of the sock test, it would have shredded it to pieces lol!
In Soviet Russia, guitar shreds you!
Saw this video pop up and wondered how I hadn’t already watched it, and boom, it’s only 1 hour old! Great vid.
Thank you!
I have an Eart GW2 guitar with this same bridge and it holds tune perfectly. Also the Eart GW2 was about $400 and had perfect fretwork
Yeah, I'm sure in the $400 range you get more quality. I've heard those guitars are pretty decent for the price.
@@TaylorDanley They need a set up here and there, but most really do seem to like them for some reason. Same thing with NK guitars
Eart's fretwork is flawless, but they need to put good pickups in their guitars
@@HardbrasH1 my pickups are great, came with AlNiCo magnets, very clear sounding
@@danielktdoranie don't know, I played couple of humbucker equipped guitars in my store, they are ok, no way near seymour or etc. But good guitars
Wow, I love these reviews. Nicely done by all means. thanks bro. I have a headless from Amazon, it’s called an “Eart” guitar. it has this EXACT same bridge and I can say from owning this little guy for a while, it’s not a bad bridge but with mine is has intonation problems constantly, so I can imagine these cheaper headless all suffer from this issue.
Your editing and humor was on point in this video. Good job sir! 🎉
Thank you so much! I've been putting a lot of effort into those specfic things!
Tuning could be the springs. Some builders recommend certain gauge strings based on the size and strength of the springs in the Trem. So using the wrong gauge will over/under stress the spring. Causing it to drop tune.
that VVITCH shirt is the coolest thing i have ever seen! never came across any merch or anything and thats one of my favorite movies!
I bought an EART headless from Amazon and it is fantastic. Honestly one of my favorites.
I hear they are great, never tried one though!
Been thinking about getting a small headless travel size guitar just for for living room jamming recently I find it interesting that not only are you being overrun with ads for these I'm being with overwhelmed TH-cam videos regarding the same❤😅
New subscriber. Really digging what you’ve done here.
that camera nod at 1:00 is hilarious
Eart gw2 has that lil tool on the side too, heard good thing of the gw2 though and its also a headless guitar, might be cool for a cheap Amazon review
have you reviewed the floyd rose harley benton’s? i’d love to see how good they are before i plan to purchase them
I have not. I played one a while back, and I remember thinking it was pretty decent, but I also played it for like 5 mins so who knows.
"some of you are probably ugly as well, you're welcome too" had me giggling 💀
I'm just here to make jokes and mindless chug cheap guitars..
Ooh dude, guitar tone pretty good and useful.. 👍🏻👍🏻
I dunno. This El Cheapo headless is quirky. I like it. It's more interesting than those Jacksons, at least. lol
Agree to disagree, but I'm glad that you like it!
@@TaylorDanley I think I might get one down the line, as something of a project. Y'know, if I don't load up on other items first. 🤔
El = the and cheapo is not a word
@@Baminion You're correcting a deliberately incorrect choice of words.
I have that bridge on one of my headless guitars that I built and was genuinely surprised with the stability of it
That's an adorable guitar
Bought a bass from Amazon it’s actually really good quality for like 100$ next ima order a double neck sg kit this in an interesting headless guitar your showing us awesome
Frets are sticking out because of guitar being made in Asia, moisture content there is massive. When it ships to the western countries they shrink big time. So you end up with sticking out frets. I have dealt with that in epiphones, schecters, jacksons, ibanezes.
Sometimes frets start to pop out in the winter when heating season is on, very dry air.
I had a lot of sticks what were made in India, Vietnam, china +- same things that bigger brands have.
I've played a LOT of guitars. I've never seen tangs sticking out of the side of a fretboard like that.
What the heck were those rad chords you were playing on that red/black guitar? They sounded gnarly.
Have you tried the fesley flp350?
lol, the scary music when you talked about "micro-abrasions"
I understand that the jackson dinky is a budget guitar. But I bet In your next comparison video we will all see that it blows all these other budget guitars out of the water
There's a headless guitar here in the Philippines that's made it look like a strandberg and it's cheap you should check it out it's called Luxars S-G62
Bro i love your videos. You make my day always i love these videos❤️❤️
Awesome, glad you enjoy them!
I don't have that guitar, but I have one of that company's older Headless guitars (the Leaf 200), and it's pretty good! Same bridge (that particular bridge is actually really really common for budget headless guitars) but very different body, and a twin-humbucker layout instead of HSS. Sad to see this one is such a downgrade. It's also very strange that the bridge wasn't staying in tune - I've had that thing hold a tune for several months at a time! One thing someone showed to me about it is you can slip your pick sideways into the tuning knobs and rotate the tuners that way.
I have never expected these inexpensive guitars to be perfect. I can fix these issues like fret sprout and frets that are not level etc. The bridge being crooked is a bigger issue and I have seen this on several inexpensive guitars and a couple higher end models. I have worked on several guitars with this issue it can be a big problem. I collect guitars and love finding inexpensive guitars one that stand out from the others. I usually buy preowned stuff as a rule So far I never regretted a purchase because I can tweak them with a little work. Last week I got a Leo Jaymz - Monsoon and it blew me away! The quality for $230.00/250 shipped to my door the guitar is a steal at the price IMO. I will be buying another. I checked and you haven't tried one yet. I was looking for an inexpensive headless 8 string guitar with fan frets but none looked that appealing at the time.
Nor I, but advertising to beginners and handing them something that feels like barb wire is pretty rude IMO. Almost every other budget guitar I've tried doesn't have the same issue! But I think if you really like it, are willing to put in the work, it's fine... I just don't think it should say beginner in the listing.
venderán de esas para México?
aunque me imagino que viene hecha con las patas?
Im starting to love this channel❤
💪
The best cheap guitar I have is my Schecter Damien V, which I bought for $199, many years ago. It was cheap for two reasons. It was a B-stock, minor little paint oopsie, and it was on sale. I still play it to this day. The neck is fantastic, falling bat inlays for extra speed, and it came with passive EMG's, which are actually great. Overall, it was a steal for $199, during an after Xmas sale.
I never liked Schecters, but that was based off my experience with them in the 00's. I've since tried a keith merrow and their (slimline?) series... They've definitely come a long way, and I probably need to try them again.
@@TaylorDanleyThey will definitely surprise you. The necks are just fantastic, it's what sold me on my el cheapo V. It needed no setup. The intonation was even spot on. I've played some of Schecter's more mid price range and high end guitars, and they're incredible. I would rate them right up there with a pricey ESP, but at a fraction of the cost.
The durability of a Schecter is also impressive. Quick story, shortly after I bought my V, I fell on it after playing one night. I snapped the bolt on neck right out of neck joint, stripped one screws out. I thought it was past saving. But to my surprise, and with some wood filler in the stripped screw hole, the neck bolted right back on with no issues. It wasn't twisted, warped or anything. It tuned right up, and the intonation was only slightly off on the G string.
In summary, my cheap workhorse V gets the job done, and I don't have to worry about one of my vastly more expensive guitars getting stolen, or worse at a gig.
@@TaylorDanley try Reaper Schecters, neck profile is insane
Bro pls make a review of the Clifton head less ❤️
Have you tried the Guitar Nutbuster? I actually picked one up and threw it on one of my Les Paul guitars and it completely holds it in tune. Imagine that!? Haha!
🤔 I have not. I'm going to have to look into this.
@TaylorDanley Yeah I was skeptical and then I used it and now I'm thinking that all of main guitars need that floating lock system!
UM.....Why does it have the body and bridge of a Jamstik MIDI Guitar?
😂 hilarious! The first few minutes had me rolling. Pure comedy.
… and then the headless guitar 😢
Not my thing.
Awesome video though 👍
When is the video for the rip guitar coming?
Honestly that means a lot to me. I'm glad that you enjoyed a video on something you had no interest in! That's a big win for me personally!!
@@dime85sg I had to return it to Simon so he could have his new pickups installed... but hopefully I can borrow it again for a legitimate video. It's SO NICE.
This comedic intro is F*cking great dude!
thanks!!! trying to work on that more
I’ve seen that headless system before I thought about getting it for my broken sg but I’m gonna repair the sg properly (I bought it broken)
I just love that gibson give you an easy way to upgrade to a headless guitar! How thoughtfull.
@@derpplayz7359 I mean it a epiphone I brought broken at a yard sale for 2$
I'm sure the headless system is good, I think I just need more time to understand it. When a restrang (strung? whatever...) the guitar, I don't think I gave it enough excess string to lock it down... Since there's no angle to lock it in place, my assumption is you need to have excess string to hold it down... if that makes sense.
I got the Harley benton headless awhile back. I ended up buying tons of tools, pickups , pots and even a bridge like that because it had a sitar sound. Still kind of crap lol
you should do a review on a esteban guitar if you really wanna try something bad
Do a vid with just a tube amp.. cause anything sounds good trough the katana
5:28 classic meme 😂
Try out this cheap one please ➡️ Ktaxon 6 String
Electric Guitar Kit, 39
Inch H-H Pickups
Tiger Stripe Beginner
Electric Guitar
When you doing a Leo Jaymz review?
Sometimes they are at like 120 USD
I'll add it to the list!
@@TaylorDanley Awesome! That was one of the cheapest SG I found and I consider it for something for travel to not move my main gear. It would be interesting to see it in the Devil's Tune
Subcribed.
let me tell you I have a very cheap guitar myself, its the Epiphone LP100.
maybe you could review that.
its like $150
but at the very least I also have an other nicer guitar.
but either way the Epiphone plays actually very nice
I cant find it on amazon.. .-.
I would love to see an eart gwl 2 review from you.
Thanks for the suggestion, lots of Eart comments on this video, maybe I'll have to check one out!
Its beautiful
I need to mod a dinky. Thanks for that review
Any time!
Well.. I actually want this guitar... Thanks BTW I got this bridge for a modded ones... And I think they copy the mooer headless ones.... Cheers
Love your self concious effort to not show how much you loved this guitar
It's hard to hide my love...
yo this was foreshadowed in the last guitar review lol
IT WAS AND I'M SO GLAD YOU NOTICED!
I have no stake in this... But I think it looks awesome...😂😂😂
To each their own! I'm not a fan of headless guitars in general, so I'm biased
Cant believe black wood is a thing for budget guitars
☠️☠️
Always in the mood for some spanky wah sounds
Yeah that was a fun rabbit hole I went down for a type o in the listing lol
EART uses that bridge system, and I really like my EART.
A lot of Eart comments on this video! I'll have to keep it on the list.
it really doesn't look that bad. better looking than a Strandberg minus the strandberg cool colours
lol my headless explorer I built is made from one of them the fret board isn't wide enough string slips off edge
😂 I had to watch this a few more times.
‘Deez Nutz, HA!’ 🤣🤣🤣
Seriously, this video has A LOT of editing. It must have taken hours to put together.
Very well done
Very entertaining.
👏👏👏👏👍
I still don’t care for the guitar 🥴
Thanks dude! Yes it did, but it was worth it.
5:28 got em
Gets me every time.
It can be used as a travel guitar
That thing isnt a guitar,its an alien lol
Thanks for welcoming the UGLY crew! 😂 Thash on!🤘
oh man i havent seen big chungus in such a long time, thank you for reminding me of him
Fentanyl
This episode is disturbing mind, hence, still manage to watch it till the end. Haha
Filthy means it's gonna sound filthy and brutal, pal 🤘🏻
Do you own a dean
I do not!
@@TaylorDanley Can you review one
Flea market vibes
I feel personally attacked 😅 I really like headless guitars and when I'm in a situation I need to wear a tie I prefer a bowtie... (Bowties are great in a lab because there's no accidental dipping into acids!)
I never understood why scientists wear bowties instead of ties until this moment. Thank you 😊
@@altpath a tie clip can also work but a bow tie is alot easier for me
That's actually a legitimate reason. Sorry to trigger you homie.
@@TaylorDanley only joking honestly. I think this was a great video and I really enjoyed it 😊
Shoutout to Mama Danley, she's an absolute legend and I hope she knows we're glad she exists
Also 17:43 TAYLOR YOU BEAUTIFUL FOOL, YOU GOT BLACK METAL IN YOUR SHOEGAZE, NOW IT'S POST ATMOSPHERIC INDIECORE AND THE GENRE LUNATICS ARE GONNA STEAL YOUR CHEESE! 😂
Mama Danley is absolutely the backbone of everything I do!
The guitar is from the band Muse.
Accurate
2 views in 6 seconds? bro really fell off
Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.
These “bro fell off” or "bro really fell off” comments are already getting old 🥱😴
@@zaynebonshire4860 your older than me i just know that
@@jadeniguess younger actual lol
Agreed! @@zaynebonshire4860
Hey, he acknowledged ugly people like me! 🤘 Cool!
You should mod the hell out of it
Not worth it to me personally!
@@TaylorDanley that's the funny part 😂
"It does look like a guitar a hipster would play shoegaze with, so let's do that". Goes on to play black metal.
If that's a rosewood fretboard, I'm the king of siam.....
Also, why no smashy?😢
Yeah, I can't trust the amazon specs at all, they were all over the place. I thought about it, but a lot of people were pissed in the last one, so I opted to just return it so I can buy another guitar and keep the series going.
I wish I could afford Sennheiser's shit.
Note that the tuning key is a standard Allen wrench so you can use an allen drill bit, set the drill torque down low, and wind them up quick.
It is, that's a good point!
Man I don't like headless guitars at all, not a fan of dot inlays or pickguards! But this guitar is very weird!
It's indeed a weird one.
Just a Floyd rose without the head lmao
I love budget guitars.
Guilty pleasure 😂
I actually think it looks pretty cool
More power to you! 🙏
4 stars on amazon with 24 ratings currently, also sold out hahahaha
Seems more like a $170 flyswatter
Might be to heavy to be accurate, but the headless nature of the guitar would make it more aerodynamic though 😂
I actually dont hate the look of it.
“I assure you guys my marriage is totally fi-“
That’s what every man says before his wife kicks him out with his guitars
Haha, I just get the eyeroll when I new one shows up on our doorstep. She actually runs my Reverb store, so she's very aware of the guitars coming in and going out.
@@TaylorDanley you’ve got the dream woman! Only an eye roll. I have a feeling my future wife will throw me out when she sees a 10th Strat coming in.😂
Sorry, when does the ugly guitar from the title make an appearance? 😂
You could certainly fix the fret issues if you had the tools and knowledge, but the fact that this guitar is marketed towards beginners makes it an epic fail. Nothing makes you want to give up playing like a new guitar with sharp fret ends that won't stay in tune.
I wonder what he does to these cheap guitars after playing it.🤔
Depends. If it's really bad, return or keep for a project... for the rest, I do have a pile of decent cheap guitars that are going to a donation center soon
I would remove the frets, give the fretboard a complete workover... then put the frets back on and files them down on the ends. I would change the pickups completely and realign the bridge... ... nah, I would throw that one back in the box and get a refund and buy a better headless guitar.
Yes, that is the answer.
I don’t hate it. 🤷🏼♂️🤣
You don't seem as asmused with this one 😂
PUNNY!
Im hideous 🥺
That guitar is just awful all around hahaha you are my favorite next to Ola when it comes to reviews.
Thanks dude! That means a lot.
Doesn't look ugly at all to me.
Put a bareknuckell in it.
I am absolutely fucking with the design.
How DARE you call her ugly?!
For the price though, it's a shame how fucked the frets are.
You can find better cut frets for way cheaper than $169.
Keep in mind, this is a cheap guitar with shitty pickups. Swap those badboys out! Put some GFS pickups in there, or maybe some Dragonfire, if you wanna live dangerously on the QC lottery.
