Sweet guitar. As always, your chops blow me away!

[@MitchHaman]

I don't know how many times I almost bought this or their 800 series. I can't believe it would be better than my Monsoon, or can it? Speaking about my Monsoon, I had about 5 high frets and one was actually fretting out on around the 15th fret. I had bought files for this very problem. OK, here's my first time trying to level frets. I worked on each fret individually and it came out flawlessly. Crowned each fret and polish all of them along with cleaning the fretboard and oiling it. My Monsoon now looks and plays beautifully. The Fesley looks and sounds great but I'll stick with my Monsoon. 😊

[@JoeR203]

I like the "Ring" fret markers (stolen from Kiesel?) but I'm not a fan of the brand name at the 12th fret.

[@ItFigures89]

Awesomeness as usual Shredder! It's so neat to see & hear the differences in two completely individual players... but did y'all HEAR that EYE-ROLL when Richard handed it over to Metal Dude? 👁👽👁👽👁👽👁👽👁

[@HEMI42652]

Highly entertaining channel I'd subscribe twice if I could thanks

[@5zazen]

Keep up your work Richard. In Canada its more difficult to order on amazon as there are fees for import often. The key difficulty for myself is memory for notes physically i have zero limitations on playing fast. The biggest thing is picks for playing. I use a 0.88 tortex green, 1.0 tortex blue, 1.0 nylon black dunlop, and 1.6 red george dennis dunlop. 0.88 on days i want less speed and focus on accuracy, the 1.0 blue if more picking force, the 1.0 black if need to escape mentally, and 1.6 red if memory is needed. Colors of guitars and picks to me affects how playing feels, subtle but nonetheless present. Additionally different players think different, vinnie moores playing is easy to remember, yngwies thinking is just bizarre, and macalpines is heavily influenced by his piano.

[@Johnwick-ed7vo]

[@CDNelson87]

Love these reviews...where were these guitars when I was a beginner? It would have saved teenage me from an awful Arbor strat with a red lightning bolt on it. (I bet Metal Dude would love it, though.)

Really cool shredding there, MD. Man, again, I'm so jealous of all of the great inexpensive guitars that kids today can start on. Just rather it be a hardtail.

I could definitely hear those pickups struggling to get that thick 80s tone, but for $120-$140ish, it sounded pretty good. That trem is sus. Would rather see it have a set bridge. I'd put it on my secondary guitar list. Thanks for the review!

[@DaveFromTyler]

Daaaaang..! wow....

Nice shredding but I was wondering how the FST400M compares to the FDK800, I know that the FDK800 is a little more expensive and has a high gloss finish but are there any other differences. I saw you video on the FDK800 and bought one but I was just curious as to if there were any differences in how they play.

[@thebaldshredder]

I don't know if it plays or sounds any better, but the FDK800 has 24 frets and much nicer looking finishes.

They should remove both tone knobs, the middle pickup (use a rail istead on the instead pickup) and put that money that is saved on a Graphite Nut and somewhere else, maybe better colors and paint

Since inlay work usually costs you more I wonder how much cheaper these would be without all of Fesley's advertising on it? Lol Or do they justify the low price because it's an advertisement from any angle? Lol As soon as I saw the matte green finish (ya mean basically the same color every youtuber picked up from Jackson 4/5 months ago?) I just had to pick one up. Lol Using jacksons saturation and capitalizing on it. Good job Fesley!

Where's the video with the "orange guitar" you had Aliexpress custom make? Cant find it. Not the Racer X guitar, it was another one seemed like a Kramer copy.

First thing I would do is replace the bridge then the pickups then the body along with the volume and tone knobs along with the pickup switch. Then I would replace the neck and frets and nut then I would replace the headstock , the tuners, the strap buttons, strings and then the color 👍🏼

So the only interesting color (to me) is green, and it's a pooplar body? 🤔🤣 Looks great, but sounds pretty dark clean. It might just be your settings, but it sounds like my Firefly that I modded with Iron Gear Metal Machines (22k in the bridge), so for it only being 12-13k, that's pretty impressive.

[@thebaldshredder]

I'm sure a lot of it has to do with my Line 6 settings.
