That's why these reviews are worthless. That and the fact his signal is incredibly processed.

[@majav15mg]

RootsRockRebel Why is it worthless? I think it’s reasonable to want to hear a guitar at its best.

[@RootsRockRebel]

Because they're demoing $200 guitars through $2,000 worth of backline processing. The average consumer who buys one of these guitars will never get anywhere close to that kind of tone. Point being, with the right player and the right production values, like TheGhost5600 said, you can make the box the guitar came in sound great. The guitar itself becomes irrelevant in the final mix.

[@majav15mg]

RootsRockRebel That’s a good point. I guess a better review would be using more accessible amps and no one recessing. But even with that being said, it does make the statement that amplification is 99% of a guitar’s sound.

[@jeffkroboth5466]

Dagan, I watched all 30 minutes of your video. I think you did a really nice service for all of us , even here in the States. These days, the guitar companies are giving you more quality for the money as in contrast to my days when here in the states we could buy a cheap guitar from a catalogue like SEARS or Montgomery Ward, when it came in, you could barely play the strings because the action was so high. These days a for a bit shy of $200 you can buy a decent axe as you are showing here.I have a bunch of these 'cheap basses' in my arsenal. I often play them at live gigs, even though I own Fenders, Gibsons, and Ricks,...I still enjoy my Squires and Epiphones and Ibanez's that cost a third of the price! The differences in quality of parts are what make the difference as one gets more seasoned in the 'guitar world ' of things. But, that is a natural progression of anything we do. Nice job, Cheers for you!

A very wise guitar genius friend of mine, who shall go nameless, (Keith More) told me many years back "they know how to make a neck now, just get the thing set up properly, and you're very likely to have a nice playable guitar" perhaps in the 50's 60's only Gibson and Fender, could produce really good instruments, now the cheapest Ibanez Gio's are still brilliant guitars, that's my layman's view off it. nice video,

[@jgrossma]

Stephen, couldn't agree more. Bodies and necks are now being made with CNC machines, which makes them perfectly to spec at a fraction of a cost of having a human do it. Obviously QC and parts quality are still important, but even made in China instruments can be pretty good, and you can get something absolutely outstanding for well under $300 now. Its really to the point where, except for status, I don't think most players will see any advantage spending four figures on high end instruments. Just went over an Affinity Squier Strat; I was blown away by how good it was, because it was NOT always the case that Squiers were good. For $100 used, the thing had a nice hard gloss burst finish, perfect fretwork (dead level with smooth edges), functional tuners, and passable (admittedly not great) electronics. IMO, not much "prestige", but a perfectly serviceable instrument, and if you swapped out the electronics it would be FUNCTIONALLY not different than a Strat costing 5-7x as much.

"Apologies to Slash," proceeds to play Sweet Child. LMFAO. The biggest lesson for any guitar player: Learn how to use your amp's EQ to tailor sound. It's you and your EQ, not your axe. (If you suck, it's not your axe or your EQ. Practice.) Basic settings are for basic minds. Experiment to learn.

[@mikeexits]

There's also something to be said about actually bad guitars. Like my BC guitar + amp combo that costs $80 new. The B string plays open as though I have a finger on it failing to play a harmonic. So playing that string without fretting makes it muffled/muted. And the amp sounds like it's a small bluetooth speaker being played into a plastic cup. If anyone's reading this, learn from my mistake, don't go the cheapest route and buy a quality budget guitar like the ones shown in this video!

[@arthritisankle]

Mikeureko check out the guitars sold online by guitar fetish. You won’t see them on a video like this because they aren’t sold in music stores, only online. But there are videos out there of people playing them. They sound totally amazing for the price.

[@leathernluv]

@@mikeexits That can be true. However, the best budget buy ($99) was my first guitar. A Kramer set (guitar+amp.) After I did a proper setup, it's better than most mid range I have owned since. The reverb unit died years ago, but I still play the thing 25 years later.

I have a Pacifica, Sounds excellent. I can even tune everywhere from E Standard all the way down to drop C and the tone is perfect for metal, blues, rock or even jazz if you dial it in right. Humbucker has more punch in it than My Schecter SGR C-7 Pickups.

He didn't, if you look closer he switched the pickup, from bridge to neck.

[@AndrewHank1]

The Squier Telecaster is quite impressive, got that authentic twang sound found on an expensive Fender Telecaster; the Squier Stratocaster however is kind of lack of that bass tone we usually find on other Fender Stratocasters.

[@dreibel]

Affinity Teles are great - I've run into quite a few people who love theirs right out of the box. The Squier Strats get better the higher up the foodchain you go, like the Vintage Modified and Classic Vibe models. The Bullets and Affinity models do make a great base for mods though - I've got a Strat Mini Bullet that I did up with the GFS Gold Foils and a machine head change, and it sounds killer.

[@jgrossma]

See my comment above. Electronics (IMO) are the weak link of the Squier Strats. Not just the pickups being sort of meh, but the pots not so great either. But other than that, the Affinity instruments I've tried have been very impressive at their price points. For the money, I think you could do a LOT worse than getting one and just upgrading the electronics.

[@briantrend1812]

I kept my bullet strat very happy with it . would I be wrong saying it is the most comfortable guitar to play on earth.

[@goosegutz]

Is it just me or did the Yamaha Pacifica have the best tone for chords of the cheap guitars ( not considering washburn cos it isnt always in the same price range)? Was going to say the SG was the pick until he played the Yamaha on humbucker setting.

[@Josbornevonosborne]

Bazzo Smyth Pacifica is the most underrated guitar ever

[@RozoTheGreat]

I've got the exact same model, and I can confirm that it is *STUPIDLY* awesome at offering a wide range of sounds. After about two months of playing with it + a Blackstar ID Core 10, I've concluded that it's an amazing guitar for dipping into several genres, including lofi, acoustic-style rhythm, metal, surf, dreampop/shoegaze and some shreddy stuff. Go get one if you want to try a bit of everything. The only hangup I have with it is that the trem is vintage style - it keeps in tune pretty decently as long as you don't abuse the whammy bar, but that's where the main weakness of the guitar comes in - it's impossible to pull the trem up. Yep, you can only lower the pitch with it. Obviously this can be worked around by installing another trem bridge or just bending your strings, but it is something worth considering if you're obsessed with dive-bombs and such.

[@akilluminati47]

Those Pacifica 012s are definitely exceptional

[@bigdogpete43]

I love my Pacifica. Rock solid and sounds great.

[@theaxedude1]

SPHiROS you can float a strat style bridge if you want to be able to go up a little. The Pacificas come set up decked (meaning the back of the bridge touches the body) but you can float it with the trem claw in the back.

The first time I saw AC/DC was on Don Kishner’s rock concert. They opened for Black Oak Arkansas, a band with a recent hit in the US. AC/DC opened for them, and blew them the fuck away. BOA came on, played their one famous song and I went to bed because they were that bad. The SG was also used by Barry Goudreau when he played with Boston. Eric Clapton played one in the 60’s with a wild paint scheme. What a versatile Guitar.

And am very satisfied with sound of the stock pickups .They sound surprisingly awesome. The neck is perfect size for me. The only things I changed is the plastic nut & the tuners. I own over 30 guitars of all price ranges & this one is right up there with the best of them.,
