I went ahead and ordered one (supposed to be here tomorrow) because it's only $120 and I already have a loaded pickguard with alnico v pickups and a wiring harness with upgraded pots and thick braided wires laying around and a set of locking tuners that are unassigned as of right now, so why not? I kinda have to. I got the 2 tone sunburst one. I'll probably just keep the stock trem because I'm not much of a whammy bar guy anyway, but I'll still leave it floating. I kinda like that it only has one string tree and the slim headstock. Traditionally, the cheaper ones have two trees and the fat 70s headstock, so it gives it a little bit more classic look. I'll probably swap the tree out for a roller tree. I've heard good things about these, I have to imagine Fender's profit margins are extremely low, but it's a good way to take back some business from the cheap copycats. I mean, who's gonna pay $90 for a Glarry now when they can get a real Strat for $30 more? This will be Strat #6 in my current lineup. I also have a Fojill mahogany light relic Strat, two Squier Affinity Strats, a DIY kit built Strat and a 2007 MIM Fender Standard Strat, all of which I heavily modded or restored.
@@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow Not in the USA. The Debut Tele is only available in Europe. I've also seen reviews and it doesn't even sound like a Tele. It sounds a lot like my Sonic Mustang SS, it doesn't have that signature Tele Twang.
I purchased a Fender Telecaster Squier from Amazon for $230.00 or so with the gig bag,picks,strap and cable. The guitar looks and plays great with no problems with hardware or the finish.Checked out the set up on the strings and raised the neck pick.It's hard to beat for $199.00. Thanks for the video.
Nice playing guitar never know why beginners would have a really good guitar to start playing as that goes anyone who buys. It's not a failure in guitars. I was really surprised.
Polish your matt black guitar to a mirror finish if you want every speck of dust and fingerprint to show lol. I have a gloss black epi les paul and it is terrible for showing every dust speck, fingerprint and every micro scratch
I wouldn't say it's not worth it even if it does indeed need a professional setup. I had Gibsons that needed a professional setup out of the box (which by the way is a shame at their pricepoints). Anyhow maybe it's the luck of the draw but nearly every guitar I've ever purchased by ordering i.e not buying it in a brick and mortar shop needed at least some kind of setup. Just my two cents 🙂
in my opinion because the pick guard is a cheapo & the pick ups don't sound very good Fender should just make this thing & sell it for like 80 bucks or something with out the pick ups.
That’s ridiculous. I hope you’re not judging the quality of the pick ups based on the sound quality of this video because the sound quality on this video is rough at best.
@brushcl it seems TH-cam erased my answer to your comment even though not a single word of it was hostile. Oh well, here I go again. I buy cheap guitars to mod them. I knew that I would get better sound with the pickups I chose than the ones it came with. So the same day I bought the Debut, I went on eBay and got some noiseless alnico 5 pups. They sound fantastic.
The pickups are really low output, the neck is thin, tuners work but might be plastic, strings seem to be 8's. the rest is pretty amazing for the money. Don't polish it relic it.
In the UK they are selling this guitar on Amazon for £129.99 which is $173.97. This is an outrageous price for this guitar, you can get a much much better guitar for this money from say Jet or Harley Benton.
Agreed, I’ve never claimed to be good at guitar. I mostly just work on them, maybe you could post a lesson for me? I’d like to learn how to play better
What a bold and dickhead statement coming from someone who has zero content on their channel... Tell ya what, Sparky....why don't YOU post something up and let us all see and hear what you've got, if anything....my guess is, you probably don't even own a guitar much less play one. So go ahead and post something up, we'll wait...
I dont get it. Why are you buying the cheapest guitar on the market? Why not buy a quality instrument and not waste your time..will you ever gig with it? I seriously dont think so why bother..😮
You have a very poor attitude towards guitars. You do realize that you can mod a cheap guitar into a great instrument for thousands of dollars cheaper than buying an expensive instrument just because it says a name brand on the headstock. 😂 Sucks to be like that.
This is a really annoying video between the vocal fry, how stoned this dude is, and him saying “anyways” all the time, I had to turn it off. It’s “anyway” not “anyways.”
Thanks for your comment. Any engagement, positive or negative helps my channel a lot. Also, I don’t smoke or partake in anything like that. I’m just a little weird, thanks for watching!

the Debut also comes in a telecaster body

@@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow Oh, and my Debut Strat did arrive and it's fantastic. I love it.

going to have to polish mine up now, that was the only thing I wasn't digging
That is the cleanest finish I’ve ever seen. Good job.
Your playing sounds great to me.🎸
You had me at the sound of those pickups. Jeez. ❤
Looks great! Even a 3 ply pick guard. The sonic series has a single ply lol
nice playing, great review

Loaded pick guards are wicked cheap on Temu & worth it.
That sounds terrible. I blame it on your amp settings. You had it that far apart and didn’t check the intonation?

gfs has alnico pickups starting at $19 and go up to +- $30
How long did it take yours to come? I ordered mine on the 30th and still hasn’t shipped.
Only a day or 2 I think, I got mine off of Amazon
in my opinion because the pick guard is a cheapo & the pick ups don't sound very good Fender should just make this thing & sell it for like 80 bucks or something with out the pick ups.
True, the very first thing I did besides changing the strings, was buy new pups. I didn't even give the old ones a chance.
That’s ridiculous. I hope you’re not judging the quality of the pick ups based on the sound quality of this video because the sound quality on this video is rough at best.

What is the weight of this guitar ❓
Six pounds, two ounces
Yo he watches vice grip garage

Good luck getting cheap used parts to fit either of those .
That sounds awful fair play
All that gear and can't play...Just sad

If you dont like it…dont buy it…simple as that!
I bought mine for beater use. I won’t feel the pain of significant loss if something goes wrong with it.
