Somehow missed this comment. Coming back to say that the demos were recorded line-in with BiasFX… The guitar sounded a bit better through my half stack, but my room acoustics were terrible. So I had to go line in…
Thanks man! The polished frets were definitely a nice surprise. I’m gonna do a vid soon on fixing the fret ends, and I’m probably gonna hyper polish the frets while I have the board taped off 😂 😂 😂 because why not?…
got one of these in black to have as a back up in my trunk at all times for rehearsals/shows and down time at work, besides for a bit of fret sprout its been amazing. for the price its had to find anything close to this and if you need a cheap back up or one to travel with its perfectly capable
FBD: Fesley $159 Amazon Guitar- Quick Unboxing/Demo/Review - Is it worth it? Me: I bought a black one in November for $119. Same guitar! You be the judge.
I mean, that’s a steal for that price, but that certainly doesn’t have any bearing on whether or not it’s worth $160… Guitar Center used to run Squiers for $99 door busters for the Holidays, good luck getting that deal now… Same guitar is $199 🤷♂️
@@FretboardDiaries Sorry ... that wasn't a steal ... that what they were selling for just 3 months ago. These things were selling for $99 just a couple months before I bought mine. Prices going UP!
Were they coming with a case and strap at that time? Just wondering… If so, Definitely a steal at $99 man, particularly for a beginner to learn on. Even at $160, for a beginner who doesn’t have a case and strap, to learn on and decide if you want to move forward, I think it’s worth it… A Squier would run you $199, plus case and strap, and still have the fret end issue and weaker single coils 🤷♂️ For me it will be a fun modding platform, I love budget guitars, and I’m going to have some fun with this one 🤘🎸
BTW ... After a neck set up, set the PU height, and a decent set of strings ... I think it plays pretty damned good for $120 - $150. I am planning on a change of PUs and switches ... and I think it's definitely worth the money!
The ones that I looked at the blue ones and the pink ones were supposed to have a coil split so was the others when I called Fesley on it I really got no answer but if you go back to Amazon there are some with a coil splitter and there are some without a coil split when they first were introduced every color had a coil splitter on the on the humbucker
Indeed! I've never really been a fan of Squiers, the one I had needed considerable fret work, had dead pickups, and was in dire need of a fretboard conditioning. That said, I know they're popular to mod, but at this point, I think there's some really great budget stuff coming out that are better options, Fesley being one of them
Wow sweet guitar love that colour Ashley
Thanks Paul! Definitely one of my favorite colors… 🤘
Great job. What amp and effects do you use? thanks

That matte finish looks sweet and polished frets are pretty surprising. Nice review, dude!
Thanks man!

🤔 I don’t seen any verbiage on Amazon about Coil Splitting… Do you have a link and I’ll take a look. Mine was definitely NOT coil split.
whoaaaaaa sound very good better than any squier, those chinese guitars are good to have
