i purchased the blue Fesley FDK800 a few weeks ago for $185 (after a $50 off coupon) and since it arrived my American Strat, Japanese Strat and Ibanez RG550 (though i love them all) have been gathering dust, i bought it thinking i'd need to replace the tuning machines and pick ups and need to level the frets, but there is not only no need , but the tuning machines are quality and solid, by which i mean they are not loose nor overly tight, and with an 18:1 gear ratio, the frets are level all across the fretboard and apart from some very minor fretsprout are perfect and the pick ups absolutely kick ass yet aren't so hot that they can only be used for Metal , they can scream and wail all day but when i switch to the single coils i get surprisingly clear warm Strat and even at times Tele like tones, i am shocked truly, i love this machine.
Fender owns No factory in China or Indonesia. Foreign companies can not even own land in China. Most of the guitars coming out of Indonesia are built by Cort International. They build many Ibanez and Fender products as well as the PRS se models. Buying food from a restaurant doesn't really make it " my restaurant" Fender or Ibanez contracting OEM builds by Cort Indonesia similarly doesn't make it a " Fender factory" or an "Ibanez Factory" Quingdoa factories in China are not owned by Gibson or Epiphone. Btw They were " opened" by Gibson. Gibson lawyers know how to word stuff so as to mislead. Opening is not the same as owning.
Funny…you used the Trem only right at the end of the video and cut off the end..so here is the real final thought- you cannot use this Trem on this guitar without it going out of tune so bad there is no way to recover without stopping and totally retuning the guitar…prove me wrong please…
I can. You talk about things you don’t really understand. All vibratos are nothing more than a plate of metal that pivots on a fulcrum doesn’t matter if it’s six screws, two bolts , cheap metal, titanium, steel…physics doesn’t change. Your response isn’t even your thought it is the same bs you have been programmed to believe.
Thanks for the review. I've been looking over the past couple of months, and the Fesley and Leo Jaymz guitars seem to be surprising a lot of guitarists. When you can buy a guitar like these models for under $200, and then in some cases not even need a set-up, that is pretty amazing. There is another channel where the guy said he brings one of these budget guitars as a back-up for his shows, so that was good to hear, as well.
Good review. Thank you for that. I'm on a "budget" guitar kick lately and am being amazed by what is available as opposed to 30yrs ago. I'm loving it however, as I approach 30 guitars, the wife is beginning to question my available space....
Directed mounted pickups are not direct mounted. Usually they sit on a silly sponge which limits the adjustment range this is why I like pickup rings or a Strat pickguard.

Enjoy it! 🎸🎸Thank you very much for the kind words and we will continue to work on it!💪💪

I see what you did there
@@nikaxeguitar
Lol
hahahahaha
And Mama made peanut butter and nanner sandwiches for after practice.
😅
The finish kinda reminds me of the new american jackson soloists in the drab army green
Right? I thought the same thing
nice playing
Thanks brother
Have had 2 fesley guitars liked both a lot but the pickups are weak
great colour, everything else looks and sounds cheap. we cant keep wasting good old growth hardwood on junk, its almost all gone.
Wanna know the con of this guitar Its not in stock! 😂😂😂
But seriously these things need to become available again
I found the humbucker a bit weak and swapped it for a dimarzio tone zone, and now I can't put it down.
cool! 🤗🥰😎
be cool if they made a 7-string.
priest- hot rockin🤟

Wonder if they've been tapped to build the new Squier Debut series of budget guitars? Interesting.
Those extra goodies are pure crap
