I bought one based on this video alone. Straight out of the box it needed to be tuned of course, but the action and intonation are near perfect. The fret ends are fine on mine. Crazy how they’re making these things so cheap and playable. I’ll use it to record some with, but this would be ideal for a kid needing a cheap guitar to start out on. The tiny amp included is pretty loud too. Enough for a beginner.

For you people about my age, Joe Trohman of Fall Out Boy plays lead on a Tele primarily. I have a custom Carvin based on the thing that makes Teles rock, which is sustain, and pickups mounted at the extremes of the body (well, on the place where the strings pass over it anyway) to allow a lot of tonal versatility.

That’s the one let down. However, it wouldn’t cost someone too much to get a properly wound, potted pickup that would fix that issue. I also hate when they stain wood. That’s gonna wear off on the fingers for a while. Not sure why they bother when the stain usually ends up coming off. Great find! Catch you later! 😱😱😱😱😱

I'd have to sand the neck down & get that black off the neck, but I'd leave the neck face and seal the neck satin smooth and change out the pups & electronics with some Seymour Duncan P90 Phat Cats Set Humbucker Size after routing the bridge body to a Humbucker Size. I'd satin or gloss over the Front Headstock face. I know the neck pup would be ok to go with a Single Coil Sized Pickup & Phat Cat P90 Bridge Humbucker will cancel hum of a Single Coil Neck Pickup because it's coils are Reverse Wound. I already have plenty of pickup choices. I could go with a Single Coil or even a such sized SD Rails or a SD 59' Humbucker in the Neck Position or Other. I only have one Semi-Hollow that is Black finished satin back of Neck Oscar Schmidt brand & it plays and sounds as well as my Gibson. Thanks for another Fine Video SEAN.

So... A blind man applies for a job at a lumberyard,as a grader of different woods. He was blind. Owner skeptical of his abilities,asks "Well just how you propose to do this ?" The reply was "I have the worlds most sensitive nose" So he had a man send a couple of different pieces of wood 🪵 down the conveyor belt for identification. First board comes down,he gets over it and says" that's cottonwood from Mississippi"....he was right! Second board comes down,he smells it and replies "That's ancient redwood from the Pacific Northwest. He was right again. So as a joke,he calls the guy at the top of the belt and says... "You know that new secretary we hired last month, well tell her to get naked and lay down on the conveyor. After a small protest,she complies. So on er belly she comes down the belt and foreman says, "This is a special imported wood,very rare..." So he bends over her,gives a good sniff, Does it again and says "You know that's very unusual, maybe you could turn it over and I'll give it another try. So they turn the secretary over,on her back and they sent her down.... After a couple of good whiffs the blind man says, I "I have never smelled lumber like that,and the foreman says"well take a guess.... To which he says "The only thing I can come up with is that it is the shit house door off of a TunaBoat".... ✌️ It was relevant
