FGN Guitars Neo Classic | Better Than a Gibson at 1/3 the Price!

[@shashankrao23]

I have just got my hands on FGN LC10 arctic white , the built n finish is top notch. If anyone prefers a thicker neck it might work . Fujigen definitely needs more eyeballs on their work they are doing very good for the price A definition for a good guitar for me is if it invites you to play more. This definitely does that.

[@waynefaircloth3423]

Gotta tell ya. This may possibly get you running down the Burny, Tokai, Greco rabbit hole. I own 2 of each of these brands and I will NEVER buy a Gibson again as these guitars blow them out of the water. SUPERB guitar btw.

[@MetalHeadProductions]

Oh I'm very familiar with all of those and got to play some in Tokyo years ago on a trip. This one is still definitely my favorite, but all of those companies really deliver.

[@monsirto]

Just about to pull the trigger on an 80's Fujigen LP copy here in Oz. Poor bugger doesn't know what he has.

[@kennyjohnson336]

I've had the ebony version with Duncans for over a year now and absolutely love it. Under 2K delivered. Best "Les Paul" I ever owned.

[@Foxtrot1989]

Oh, it is in deed a Les Paul, my man. What it is, is a "Gibson" Les Paul, if you know what I mean 😉

[@rexkornett5899]

If you adore classic singlecut guitars have a look at maybach guitars. Great price/value ratio ;)

[@Muzerino434]

I had one Gibson. An SG Supreme. But I hated the neck dive and now I have five FGN made guitars (2 FGN LP, History LP, Cool Z LP, Cool Z SG) and they’re awesome. All have great tone, long tenon neck, fantastic build quality and the SG is the only one I’ve ever owned with zero neck dive! I think I’m an FGN player for life now. Won’t pay Gibson prices again.

[@Rainb0wSeven]

FGN makes unbelievable guitars. I own an Expert Rise which puts anything made by Gibson to shame.

[@Foxtrot1989]

I cant deny your 'Screaming For Vengeance' t-shirt! It's a perfect fit with your custom armband. With that Japanese beaut of a Les Paul, It's a triple black trifecta! New subscriber gained

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

I just bourght a Grrrreat Lemomdrop standart FGN , and its my altime best playing axe !

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

FGN has some really good guitars. I like the sound of the Neo Classic, but I also would change the Humbuckers.

[@marks9197]

Nice score! My FujiGen made SR800LE is rock solid after all these years.

[@bmac5085]

I have got an fgn odyssey standard in antique white, and an fgn iliad ibuia both have seymour duncan pickups and are outstanding guitars. I have been looking at the ncl 10 for a long time now either the colour that you have, or in white. Had a Gibson les paul tribute last year for about 6 month's. Couldn't get on with it and i sold it. These are about the same price as a tribute but look much more with the finish and binding. Nice to see that you're a fellow priest fan 👍

[@CrazyKnkb]

Bro was about to pull the trigger on a Tokai or the 2024 Epi LP Custom. I think you sold this one! If their logo was a bit more “classy” this would be an 11/10. Headstock inlay and truss rod cover looks out of this world. How is the fretwork on this thing and QC? Cheers

[@MetalHeadProductions]

Fretwork is perfect and QC is top notch, certainly better than Gibson

[@NShomebase]

If only they would do something similar with the SG!

[@SelwynRogers]

They used to.

[@jeffhirshberg5171]

Please stop making me spend money!

[@MetalHeadProductions]

No.

[@XChristianNoirX]

Looks and sounds SUPER Sweet! Just one pause... How does one get re-fretted?? Maybe stainless would have been the way to go.. Unless you can buy th frets direct, ready to press. How's the weifht to a Les? You may have mentioned and I missed it..

[@MetalHeadProductions]

Regret shouldn't be an issue, the frey slots are very subtly curved so new frets will contour to the groove and go in just like normal frets. As.for the weight, it's easily my heaviest guitar, heavier than my 97' classic for sure.

[@XChristianNoirX]

@@MetalHeadProductions yeah.. I ready that it's full weight.. No weight relief.. My '94 LP is so heavy it's like playing a boulder! Love the sound, but my body can't handle it as a daily driver... I'm not a big dude and that thing is a TOTAL beast.

[@kookoogearkook]

You buy this new from FGN direct? Or new from a store in USA?

[@MetalHeadProductions]

New from a store in America on reverb

[@kookoogearkook]

@@MetalHeadProductions What gauge strings did you have on it in this vid? What action height/measurement off 12th fret on low and high string? Just curious bud. Don't mean to grill ya lol.

[@MetalHeadProductions]

@@kookoogearkook I don't have the measurement for the height but the strings are 10-52

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

HUP !😉 Beastmode ! 😝

[@sebastiansantacruz2930]

Hmm, how would it behave when its time for a refret years down the line?

[@MetalHeadProductions]

Shouldn't be an issue, it's a very subtle curve so the frets will contour easily to it and get put into place like any other guitar.

[@gregcurry9188]

Unless they have changed the specs, the NLC20 has one other difference as compared to the NLC10. The NLC20 does not have a maple cap like the NLC10, the body is all mahogany.

[@MetalHeadProductions]

From the FGN website for the NLC10RMP: "Maple Top / Chambered Mahogany"

[@DimKAt21]

Play authentic?

[@MetalHeadProductions]

Lol

[@killjosh21]

Looks Rad!
