Thanks for the shoutout Dave! That Monsoon sounds great in your hands. Glad you like it. P.S. After watching your lead demonstration, I've decided to retire from guitar. 😁
I bought this model. Mine had serious issues. Some of the frets weren't fully seated. After tapping them in the frets were all over the place. I had to do a complete level, crown and polish. Bridge pick up would short out when flipped over. The bridge saddles were set at the top of their travel because the neck was actually set to high in the pocket. Strings were so high I couldn't raise pick ups high enough. I had to sand off 1/32 of heel to get the neck low enough to set the pick up height. Also the body had buffer scuffs all over it. So what did I do beside the fret job. Replaced the bridge to a hipshot/Locking tuners/pickups (EVH Wolfgang)and electronics. After all that its one of the best players I have. In hind site I should have just returned it but it was a nice challenge to fix. That being said after the upgrades I'm in to it for about $680 +(the fret job was in house so what's that worth?). It now plays and sounds as good as my PRS SE's which are in the $800 range. Where it lacks is the finish. The PRS SE's are finished way better but what do you want for $240.00?
Wow Sorry you had issues..Lol 1st thought was yous would return it...and then you mentioned it later on in the comment..crazy..mine was Absolutely ridiculously perfect right out of the box..sounds like you Modded the hell out of it..sounds killer man
The floating pickups are that way for vibration.they suppose to be better.but me I'm always seeing if they loosing up any all the time.i like the solid ones better.i put covers over them if I had it.
I liked the idea of playing music during the unboxing. Cool idea. Not sure if it's been done, but it's the first time that I've seen that. Did you record the music?
lol nice to see u having fun, no gig bag either .. same color they had a blue one up for about 3 days ,,mine is 6lb 11 oz every thing seems to work ok, mine has tapered springs under pickups .. switch ohm top position 798 ohm - Middle 537 ohm - bottom position 1598 ohm. thanks for the review
Got the blue flame version and it's far beyond its price for quality. I let some fellow shredders try it eyes closed and they said it felt like a strat
Same Here..Box was a extremely big..Lol Bubble wrapping or some type of packing material would be good in there..lol literally just bounces around in a big Box..at least Leo Jaymz packed the Guitar very well..Amazon put it in the Box 🍻
There are so many amazing quality brands out now, almost makes me want to sell off all my Fenders, Ibanez etc and just load up on Fesley, Leo Jaymz and Firefly , only problem is i love all my guitars and can't stand the idea of parting with them . I also love to buy inexpensive brands and modify/upgrade them. I have two Kramer Baretta Specials that i upgraded with a better bridge as well as locking tuners (from Musiclily and even after heavy use for two years they still perform as great as they did brand new) on and threw in DiMarzio Super Distortions and i'm not sure why Richard (Bald Shredder) never connected or found the vibe with his Baretta Special because even stock they are great (even more upgraded). You've got a kick ass channel here friend, Subbed! 🤘🎸🔥
Thanks Man..Yeah I love the Baretta Specials..Got 4 of them..every once in a long while I will get something more expensive but not very often..I have a Scheter coming up on the Channel soon that is about a Grand..had it in my wishlist at Sweetwater for over 3 years finally pulled the trigger 🤘😎
Killer guitar, Stang. And I like how you are trying hard to not hurt the Bald one's feelings. You are such a swell Cat. Nice axe! I dig that particular purple. I'm jonesing on the deep metallic purple EVH Wolfgang Special right now. Rock on, Brother.
The color is fantastic. Don't be worried about the bald shredder having less wood than you 😜 I just may have have to get a second cheap guitar that rocks! For a pure gorilla drummer this is impressive. Rock on and keep the great videos coming 👍
The thing I like about many of the newer inexpensive guitars is the rounded fret ends. It used to be that finger ripping sharp frets ends were the norm.
That is a nice guitar. I like the purple. I've decided that I'm going to help you out. If you look out your front window, I will be standing there and I'm going to take care of that off camera dude that keeps screwing up. In return for my help, you can give me this guitar.😂
Excellent review. I bought the Ocean Blue Monsoon. I did have to straighten the neck a little and lowered the action a little. I was going to put 9's on here because I'm measure 10's with my caliper, but the strings sound and feel petty good. I'll keep the 10's on here for a while. The pickups sound great but are wobbly. Great guitar for the money.
I realize that a reversed headstock is all the rage these days but, I prefer to see what I am doing. I just don't know if I'd like it or not? I will have to order one for myself to know.
I really enjoyed this video, but you’re the second person I’ve seen reviewed this guitar that was surprised that it didn’t come with a case. I don’t know why? It’s a $240 guitar. I would be very surprised to get a case with a guitar that cheap unless it was a very cheaply made guitar. This one obviously is not a cheap guitar, so obviously all the money went into the guitar. Probably no profit margin room left for a case or bag.
I was only surprised because I have done several budget guitars on the channel. And there are several that come with cases, that's all.. The thing that surprised me the most, was just a Guitar and a bag Inside of a box that's it.. LOL I was actually scared when I got it. Because I read some reviews..People have gotten them with the headstocks busted off due to shipping
Am I the only one? Who bought two? And had to file the corners of the plastic nut because they were piercing sharp? Should I buy a 3rd one and hope? Hmmmmm
Thanks for the shoutout Dave! That Monsoon sounds great in your hands. Glad you like it. P.S. After watching your lead demonstration, I've decided to retire from guitar. 😁

what amp and and or cabinet are you using it sounds massive

@@Dave6SS thank you as i am impressed with your sound as now i want one of those ID TVPs as that tone you got going on is brutal man

Yeah Great Guitar 🤘😎🍻

@@Dave6SS I'll bring some extra help then......
Happy to see the review. Just received my Violet Ocean Monsoon on Wednesday. By the way love your channel!

Excellent Guitar for the Money..Lol may have get the Blue myself..Thanks for Watching Bro 🤘😎
Cool guitar love the colour and price,Cheers!
Hell Yeah Thanks for Watching 🍻
Very nice! It will be my number three next month!
Hell Yeah 😎
Don't sell yourself short! Next to the Bald Shredder, you're great at opening boxes! 😂😂🤣.... just a minute! I mean..🤣🤣....just 1 minute! 🤘😜
🤣🤣 Thanks 🍻
If you screw down the pickups do they stop moving. Some guy on TH-cam really complained about it?
Didn't mess with it to he honest..it doesn't move around or anything or vibrate while playing...just never seen that before
Sounds incredible! Especially for a sub $300 guitar. WOW! That headstock is killer especially with zebra style pick-ups. NICE, VERY NICE!
It's Incredible 😎🤘🍻
I want the Blue one. That Purple makes me Very Angry !
🤣🤣
Nice colour 😍 I don't think we can buy that brand in England
Ahh Man that stinks..Thanks for Watching 😎
Up front is Leo jaymz any good
Absolutely 👍
Now they should sell them in Europe.
Do they ship those in the philippines?
Not sure to be honest
@@Dave6SS how i wish they could source out here in the philippines. 💕
Hey I don't think any of us dudes like Big Boxes 🤣🤣. Good guitar for the money. Thanks Man 👋👋✌️✌️🎸🎸. Freebird time hehehe ✌️✌️
🤣🤣 Awesome Guitar..Thanks for Watching 🤘🍻
@@Dave6SS betcha cool 😎
I realize that a reversed headstock is all the rage these days but, I prefer to see what I am doing. I just don't know if I'd like it or not? I will have to order one for myself to know.
Yeah its a Bit Different but not enough to keep me from playing it 🤘😎
Better then Ibanez at same price point?
Ohh Yeah for sure 🍻
Not a lover of purple but gotta say thats a nice looking guitar, think one with an ever tune bridge would be sweet, love the headstock shape well cool
I couldn't believe the tunning stability..Insane 🍻😎
@@Dave6SS I'd be tempted to get one if it was in red in the same way the purple is shaded. I love the sleekness of it
I bought one, I do not understand why the neck pick up wiggles.
Not sure either..doesn't effect anything..just never seen that myself
I haven't used a tone control in 55 years of playing.
Right ✅️ 😎🤘

If the huitar had a locking trem I'd be more inclined to buy it, still overall a super quality affordable guitar though.
Gotcha..its an Excellent Guitar for the price..Mr 4k Winner 🏆 😎🍻 Lol
For the price and quality it can't be beat I agree

Dude that is crazy... Mine were as smooth as could be.. LOL I guess third time is a charm.
Ha yea oh there’s new colors on Amazon brother
@JeremyAnderson-kg7cq Ha ha I seen that 😎
Leo Jaymes sent me a guitar with every fret sharp and a bulging neck joint... No thanks...
That's Crazy..This will make 26 Leos for me never had that issue..sorry about you bad experience Man
