Awesome Les Paul Flame Maple Burst Under $200! Leo Jaymz Single Cut Standard

[@dreamercross]

was looking for reviews on this guitar and came across this video. wasn't kidding about the "Shredder" in the name, amazing

[@RowdyAF]

Came for the guitar stayed for the shredding 🤘

[@FultonStreetBeats]

Look at Leo Jaymz hitting it out of the park again! Yep, they are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with.. Great playing as always brother!

[@thebaldshredder]

Indeed they are. Thanks!

[@FultonStreetBeats]

@@JamieLynnMorris I'm holding out for them to release a blue or silver sparkle flake like the Tele style colors. Fingers crossed.

[@PentagramDave]

I almost skipped on your video at first glance because I'm pathologically hypercritical of guitar content creators, but in short order I was immediately corrected by your skills. From playing to mixing & video production, everything you do is top tier, & that buttery sweet vibrato took me from grouchy, jaded skeptic to simping fanboy. Bravo Maestro, liked & subbed

[@thebaldshredder]

Well I'm glad you gave me a chance! Thanks man!

[@vondenballs]

I was thinking exactly the same but when he started playing, I stayed.

[@AnnoyingCritic-is7rp]

I admit I am on the fence. James is not as detailed as Philip McKnight or musicngear or scar my guitar because all those people take a fret rocker and see if the frets are level. But at least James mentions sharp red ends and buzzing - I think or at least mostly. And while he doesn't give all the objective information that I need to show that there's not a conflict of interest, he does provide more information than most.

[@joshuahockman1128]

​@@AnnoyingCritic-is7rp I can see your point but honestly if I want to watch a guy tear down a guitar and rebuild it better than it was like you said I'll go watch scar my guitar. Sean is an absolute savage. But if you want to hear a guy absolutely shred and with seamless editing then this guy is where it's at. I like hearing these things absolutely scream especially when I am considering a purchase.

Im happy im came across this video.....i love the les paul style, never had one but always wanted one....and like many others, i cant just dish out 3,000 on a name brand....these have been coming up everywhere too!

[@chrisreinwald1609]

I thought this review was excellent. Concise, fun, informative, and excellent shreds. Ordered the purple burst and subscribed

[@chrisreinwald1609]

Is there a Tusq key model number u recommend?

[@thebaldshredder]

Just search them on eBay. Check the measurements of the nut on your purple guitar and order a nut that matches. Main thing to match up is the "E to E" measurement. If the nut sticks out on the edges, you just sand it back a bit.

What an awesome jam man. That guitar hits way above its price point.

You are really good at song composition, so many highly technical shredders I feel are just soloing but can’t write an actual song.

[@thebaldshredder]

Thanks and I agree totally.

[@davidledford3522]

The difference in a musician and a guitar player I can't play nowhere near as good as this guy but I do strive to understand music in its entirety instead of focusing on mastering one instrument I think it's the best way to learn it seems like he learned the craft in the same way

[@dreigstad4144]

Great reviews. I watched your review on the Squier Stratocaster Debut. I bought one and your review was spot on. I love that guitar. After seeing this one on Leo Jaymz, I just ordered this one too. Thanks for your reviews.

[@anthonylawson6955]

Great intro tune, thanks for the review. I may snag one of these guitars, love the color.

[@JamieLynnMorris]

Awesome Jam as Always Shredder. OH MAN!!! So many finish color options on this beauty. My faves: Ice Blue, UK Flag, Pink/Purple... with a couple other honorable mentions. I was already impressed with the Leo Jaymz Guitars, but this puts them over the top for me. Thanks Dude! 😁 💥🎸❤️‍🔥🎸💥🎸❤️‍🔥🎸💥🎸❤️‍🔥🎸💥

Awesome playing and I must say the guitar punch's above its weight. Mine was perfectly set up, frets were a little rough, needed a little polishing but other than that it just works and sounds good. Mine has held tune so no complaints about the no name tuners.

[@ryaneffingcraig2286]

YES Finally for the first time an honest review although Richard got this guitar for "FREE" like most Pro-KZbinr's to make a video, it is in my opinion the very first true & honest review! And with out being all gitty and not mentioning the miner points that need to be addressed because it was for free, Richard put it all out there! Great job and for that I will subscribe to your channel.👍

Richard why do you do this to me, lol! I love the Monsoon, but I am also a sucker for the LP shape! Maybe I will pull the trigger on the Purple Monsoon first, but I am gonna be pissed if they don't have that purple LP! Leo Jaymz is going places with their axes, and your model is the perfect all-arounder. Will mention you, of course! Wish I could get it overnight, eager to use it!

[@danpowell5286]

Bad ass jam! Nice guitar too.

[@Someguy-j9e]

Have two of these with a set up and pickup upgrade I love them. Good enough I sold my epiphone lp.

[@JoeR203]

Cool trick tip: When doing some tapping runs, you can use your forearm to flip the switch to change pickups.

[@ConditionZero76]

The graining looks way to open to be rosewood fretboard, I'm thinking they used something much more cost effective, not to mention rosewood by nature is very oily wood and definitely wouldn't dry out like that during travel over seas albeit a week or 6 months it would still be very oily. Nonetheless it looks like a great rig for the price ....

[@zuperdee]

It would be REALLY interesting to see how this compares to the IYV ILS-300. The horn shape on this one looks very different from other Les Paul-style clones out there. That lime-green sunburst color on this guitar looks a lot like a green IP-350 PRS copy from IYV that I recently sold. I didn’t like that color as well as the black version.

[@captcraig777]

I am in the market for a LP Style guitar, but I am looking for a very specific color. I want a matte white body, with all matte black accessories. One company does make it, but they have been out of stock and will be for a long time. Your Leo James looks amazing and it sounds great. Thanks for sharing! Shred on!

[@hemnair75]

I'm getting a Leo diy explorer in july

[@backwoodsproductions8346]

Just got the one with the skull lol. Unfortunately it was wired wrong and the bridge pickup wouldn’t shut off and one of the tone knobs didn’t work either. The neck was bowed a bit and buzzing and wouldn’t adjust out. I got a bad one but I’m sure the replacement will be fine. I also got an IYV PRS copy and it was awesome right out of the box. I won’t let the one bad guitar scare me lol. I have a prestige I love but wanted some cheapos to play around with and give away at shows to kids interested in learning. Although the IYV PRS really is a great guitar, I would play it on stage any day. I have the IYV hallow body on the way. And I’m going to have to get the PRS copy with the ivy inlay. That one will be for me hahaha. Love your videos Looking at the monsoon as well

[@randymiles904]

Here in Australia we have a budget brand called Artist and this guitar is strikingly similar, including the head shape. Anyway, Artist guitars are awesome and this LJ seems just as good but lets not load all the credit onto it. I reckon if I got a fence plank and installed pickups etc on it, you'd make it sound awesome because that's you, a great guitarist.

I don't think I'd recommend an LP for a 12 year old starting out. It's heavy and bit awkward. I'd recommend a strat shape. Donner and Vangoa make great strat shapes.

[@Snarkyone1965]

There are two types of Gibson players, those that have had their headstocks broken and repaired, and those that are waiting for the headstock to break. Over priced pieces of garbage with shitty routing, and even worse paint jobs. One would think that as long as they have been doing this thing, they would have it mastered by now, but noooooo. I will never give Gibson my money. They can sit there and rest on their laurels as a "Legacy" brand that brings nothing new to the table. However, with that said I do love my '59 Epi/GCS Les Paul Standard Outfit they put out with all original specs and Burstbucker 2 in the neck, and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge. Love that guitar. I like my PRS guitars. Just picked up a new PRS SE McCarty Singlecut for less than half the price of a Gibson, and not a single flaw on the fit or finish. It's perfect. No tooling marks, nothing.

[@thebaldshredder]

PRS for the win!

[@Snarkyone1965]

@@thebaldshredder Damn straight dude! Just got the new PRS SE McCarty 594 Singlecut. The better one with the maple cap and a sweet veneer that is to die for. Originally picked the $829 mahogany one but it had a damn burst on it unlike the one I chose from the picture on Reverb. The store accepted my offer of $750 for it but it wasn’t the one I picked. Took it along with a Epi Custom Shop LE LP w/P90’s to the store, made an offer for the upgraded model for the same price but with the trade in of the Epiphone Les Paul and a HSC, and they accepted. I made out like a bandit. Got a great discount paying my original price and walked out with a $100 check and a $105 refund too boot. Gear Tree in Grandville, MI.

1st off love the channel.

Not sure if it's the tuners needing more tension or what. Any help would be appreciated I'm willing to upgrade some things.

[@thebaldshredder]

Hey Brandon, I don't ever tune down to drop C so not sure if I'm the best person to ask. Are you using the original strings that came on the guitar or have to changed them to something better? Other than that, perhaps locking tuners would help.

Guitars was set next or neck through bodies. They operate better and sound better with heavier strings. Tins are a great way to go
