Cheap RockJam Strat Guitar!!!

[@Jamieandguitar]

I have a rockjam strat and it's pretty good for a cheap electric guitar I love playing it

[@FlowforthInstruments]

Glad you got a good one!

[@leearft8605]

Good to see you back, life does get in the way of things doesn't it?

[@FlowforthInstruments]

True that!

[@GregPock]

I actually learned how to raise the pickups closer to the strings and it works great now 🤙🤙🤙

[@FlowforthInstruments]

Fab!

[@johnpittman3756]

Love your reviews. Would like some reviews on budget 3/4 size electric guitars. Grandkids are getting old enough to start guitar if they wish.

[@FlowforthInstruments]

I don't find too many smaller ones to recommend... most are quite poor.

[@johnpittman3756]

Yes. That is my problem as well @@FlowforthInstruments . And the ones I do, are a bit pricey.

[@am.0eb4]

Yo! This honestly sounds really good for 30-80. Might get one and make some alterations. Thanks dude! 🔥

[@FlowforthInstruments]

Good mod platform...

[@willow5071]

Hello, could anyone please tell me if these are routed for humbucker installation at all?.... maybe a platform for a hsh?..... many thanks 👍🏼

[@99batboy]

@@willow5071late reply but yeah it’s routed for HSH

[@F88tFirst]

I was looking at one of these earlier & came here for a review, really useful info thanks. What I know about guitars you could write on a spiders knee cap! Hoping to learn a bit...

[@FlowforthInstruments]

Glad to help!

Surprise story: I have an old Samick strat copy. Bad intonation. Used to drive me bonkers as a boy. Has fret buzz on a low action, which the guitar really had as it came set up from the store. I guess it was because it helps with the intonation issue (which I knew nothing of at the time). Also, I remember that the bridge was in the weirdest configuration back then. Low-E was far back, then the next 4 were basically level, then high-E was far forward. Open chords played in tune but it all sharped when going up the neck. I was warned not to touch the bridge. Later, when I did, I became aware of the intonation problem. Always thought the neck was bad, but recently I looked into it more closely and the fret spacing seems fine. It's the bridge that's too close to the nut for 25.5 scale. Resetting the bridge is daunting and not something I'm keen on digging into. I removed the spring at the back of the low E and G saddle, and cut the length of the low E screw to let the saddle go farther back. Also have the G string at a lower action than everybody else. This has it _almost_ playing in tune now. But I'm out of room on the low E. It has box saddles, so I figure I will file the back of the low-E saddle. But I also thought maybe I'd just put a shorter saddle on for the low E and G. I saw some like that from PRS I think. Any thoughts? I like the guitar because it was my first and other than the tuning problem it sounds nice. You made a point of talking about the Rosewood fretboard in this video. That guitar has a Rosewood neck! As a kid I used to think it was tacky and cheap that the fretboard was fake and stained on when I realized it. Little did I know it was no bad thing. I found your channel by your IYV reviews. I got 2 IYVs on your (and ross') recommendation. Nice things but the tuners are garbage! Oh one last thing. I found a brand called "Iberica" guitars which are made in Portugal. Seems like they are cheaper but nice like Seagull maybe? Now that you're in UK, keep an eye out for them. That's it! Nice videos, I've appreciated many of them.

The comment is far too long for most viewers to read. Be brief!

[@FlowforthInstruments]

Interesting... I've had a few nice old Samick guitars.

[@GregPock]

Any advice for this issue? I have the same guitar and I'm not getting much volume at all, plugged into an amp. I have the volume all the way up on the amp and the guitar and not much sound at all.

[@FlowforthInstruments]

Probably a bad volume pot but check your wiring!

[@knockofftapeundisclosed]

Can you measure the radius I changed mine and don’t know the original radius

[@FlowforthInstruments]

I no longer have the guitar.

[@DougHinVA]

mediocre tuning machine and pickups are easy to replace and fairly cheap and not hard to do ... and good experience . Same for First Act guitars in the USA is bought used for maybe $25-30 in pretty good shape, but need a setup. That is YOUR job to learn on KZbin....

[@FlowforthInstruments]

Thanks Doug...

[@retronostalgic]

Most guitars will sound good if you plug into the right equipment

[@FlowforthInstruments]

It's a bit more nuanced... but thanks!

[@retronostalgic]

Actually rock jams new are usually about £100

[@FlowforthInstruments]

Must have gone up!

[@johnjolly9519]

How about reviewing a Woodstock guitar built in the Ukraine?

[@FlowforthInstruments]

Sure, when I find one!
