Fesley 39" Electric Guitar, Full Size Solid Body Electric Guitars For Beginner, ST Style, Maple Neck/Fretboard, Electric Guitar Kit With HSS Pickup, Gig Bag, Matte, Morandi Black

The media could not be loaded. I'm rating this guitar for being at a $130 price point. I am not comparing it to expectations of a $1000+ guitar. For the $$, this instrument is amazing. I bought it as a project guitar that I could "wrench" on and fix up. But, I was totally surprised at the quality of sound, playability, and workmanship right out of the box. First, it was shipped in a guitar box, with the guitar itself in its own guitar bag (nice bag too). When I pulled the instrument out, it was carefully wrapped in plastic with a set of allen wrenches (For truss rod and bridge adjustments), and whammy bar attached. Plastic covered the rear plates and each pickup as well. The knobs and selected switch was protected with stereo foam.Then I saw an inspection tag hanging from the neck...It had the date of inspection, the name of the inspector, and even the set-up numbers used to adjust the string height. Really amazing for a $130 guitar. The neck was straight and everything looked good on it. The selector switch and knobs have a hardy feel to them as well.The guitar is very light and the neck radius reminded me of a Vintage C shape. It comes with "Nines" on it and was strung correctly. I plugged it in and easily tuned it up, and to my amazement, the guitar was properly intimated!! The string height was very comfortable and playable with no fret buzz at all. The intonation at the 12th fret was spot on. This $130 guitar had been "set-up," inspected, and carefully packaged. I've bought much more expensive guitars from big stores with much less care than this guitar displayed.I was shocked at the playability right out of the box! The pickups sounded good at all positions and were adjusted properly at the right height for even tone and volume. See the video of how it sounds going through an amp simulator and delay. The pictures show everything I am writing about.Is it the quality of a $1000 guitar for $130??? Of course not, however, for a $130, this thing is a gem!

I've been playing guitar for 20 years now and have owned more than a dozen electric guitars. This Fesley one plays better than most or all of them, and it's the cheapest one I've ever bought.The neck is smooth and matte/satin finished without gloss (thank goodness). It's a nice and comfortable C shape that isn't thin like Ibanezes but not thick like Les Pauls. The frets are on the smaller size. I was a little disappointed at first until I found out I could play really well on these. I'm used to medium to jumbo frets but I am enjoying these small frets. Fret ends could use a little treatment but they are in no means bad. I'm leaving them alone. Frets are smooth enough out of the box. The action is set up high for my taste but I took care of that with truss rod and saddle adjustments. The playability beats most guitars I've played. My $1,500 Ibanez was slightly faster but it had a wider fretboard and bigger frets which is not as fun strumming or playing blues.The body is beautiful. I love the pink color with a matte finish. The shape is comfortable on my lap and the headstock looks cool.Hardware seems decent. Tuners are solid for a cheap guitar and better than those on my budget Jackson. Pickups are probably not the best but I don't care about those.This is not a beginner guitar. It is suitable for anybody. I'd take this over a Fender (MIM, American, Affinity, etc.), PRS (the worst), or most guitars at Guitar Center. It is a good overall guitar that lets me do almost everything. If you want to shred, there are other options.

I had to learn to file frets after sticking this guitar in a room with a humidifier for several days in order to make this guitar's fret sprout not cut me (which is extremely rough, but comes with this price bracket, I suppose) , but the rewards for doing so are quite sweet. it's comfortable and sounds really nice compared to what i was expecting. if you can put in the elbow grease, you can get an extremely good deal here.
