So my big issue with this guitar is the Quantum pickups in it. They had a, really flat and hollow feel to it. And I only have one otjer complaint and that's the built in spring reverb. The springs are awful, but was a $10 fix for noiseless, and I added shrink tubing to them to further isolate and chance of noise on them. My older Japanese Ibanez has the V serious pickups Dimarzio built for them here in the US and they sound killer. But again, amazing guitar, especially for the price.
I agree! You get a lot of guitar for the price. This particular guitar does not have noticeably loud springs. I think I may have been a bit lucky. Besides a quick truss rod/bridge adjustment, the guitar was very playable out of the box. The quantum pick ups are not the best but I think they sound great all things considered. They are ceramic. But for a beginner or intermediate player, this guitar checks off a lot of boxes. And like you said, after a few mods, maybe even swap the pickups for something alnico, you would have a top notch axe. Thanks for watching!!!
@@ChristopherLeeShreds for sure. And man like you say, entry level price for a guitar that plays inches from my vintage Jap ones that cost 5x what this one costs. Honestly my jap ones have been played so much over the years they need refret horribly. The only thing I really feel in play difference though is the Wizard III is 1mm thicker than the old Wiz II. Amazing guitar and thanks again for the entertainment. :)
awesome paying man this guitar looks and sounds incredible been looking to buy a new electric guitar for a while now i might settle on this one. would you recommend it
I absolutely recommend it. I'm going to put out a more in-depth video on my thoughts with this guitar but I think it's a great instrument. It's absolutely worth every penny that I paid.
