I am a fan of any & every guitar that plays great & holds tune regardless of who made it period. I grew up on a MIJ, Matsumoku, made, all black 1986 Westone Spectrum LX (198-mbk). It held perfect tune with a floating bendmaster trem. After having my house & everything I owned stolen, today I own 22 guitars, my best guitar is a all black 86 Westone Spectrum ST hss.
Hey man, glad to see you made a video on this guitar. And I agree with the feedback being horrendous on those pickups. What's the neck profile like? BTW I'm the dude who mentioned getting a custom Dime guitar from the same seller as your one. It's taking longer than I thought, but I guess all I can do is be patient.
Gday mate, good to hear from you. The pickups are terrible and I hate that there’s nothing that I can do to shut them up without cranking up the noise gate, but then that affects the attack… The profile of the neck is good. It’s a ‘C’ profile but isn’t as big as the dime. It has a nicer neck than the dime; a bit thinner. Yeah, I think the Facebook page really got his name out and he’s getting smashed. Patience is key, but I must admit, you’ve been waiting a really long time. I don’t think ‘Liu’ will rip you off. He has a decent reputation. Just try and keep in contact with him. Keep me posted when you get it.
Bro you know as well as I do it's simply a cheap guitar that has microphonic pickups it doesn't matter how far you go away from your amplifier because the pickups themselves are sitting right next to each other and the cavity of the body of the guitar is not shielded so there u go feedback
It’s an interesting one because, none of my guitars have shielded cavities, yet this one is just out of control. But, it would be an interesting exercise to do. You’ve given me the required motivation. 💪
Yeah they are okay guitars if you put about 200 dollars in them put EMG active pickups in there you will see a big difference it's definitely got the look of the real thing
@gugzy might want to change the tuners also they put super cheap tuners on Chinese made guitars. I don't know though if it stays in tune how's that go: if it's not broke don't fix it....
Yeah I got one with the snake inlays, and I put a real EMG 81/60 set in it. It sounds great, but needs fret work. Still a cool project rig!
I agree. I’m looking forward to getting mine done. 👌
Also, subscribed.
Oh good lord! Looking forward to hearing it with real p/ups!
Yep. I’m going to be upgrading them soon. I’ve got another set of EMG 81/85s to go in.

I too, am a fan of most guitars. I don’t really care for brands or where they were made. If they sound good and stay in tune, then great!!

@@MT_800 expect it to take two to three months AliExpress don't get in any hurry to ship bought three guitars from them...
I bought an ES-335 DIY guitar kit from *_Ali Express_* --

Well, I’m certainly a believer in getting something cheap and doing it up. Real EMG’s are going to transform it, for sure. 👍

@ yeah, they’ve already been changed. They’re Gotohs… so much better than the stock ones.
