It is a squier affinity telecaster where I replaced the hardware in black and added locking tuners and I swapped out the bridge pickup for SD Super Distortion pickups. They are really great!

    What do we expect from a $100 guitar? I have one and I think it's great, If you want a great guitar buy a fender and pay x 1000$ more. You'll probably be surprised, because of the price difference. When I was young, we would have liked to have a guitar like this.

  • @lorencing
    @lorencing Місяць тому

    Bought one for a friend, matte black ... I was AMAZED at how good this guitar is, I mean if you told me it was woth a grand I would believe it. And the setup was perfect out of the box, neck felt perfect, tuners worked, sound was good, the attention to detail like I have never seen on a guitar this cheap (or even more expensive ones), flawless, even the frets were shiny and polished ... crazy part, even the strings were shiny. I do not know where the catch is but it looks like they really made this model amazingly well from the get go, I just wonder if they are loosing money on this or is the skilled labor that cheap in China. And looks so freaking awesome that I am thinking of buying one just to have one, the matte black body and pickups, the contrasting bright shark teeth inlays on the superbly sanded fretboard and no sharp fret ends. Before buying this one on Thomann I have returned one B-stock Schecter C-6 deluxe, crappy fret job and sort of soft neck and an Ibanez 121SP, the one with the rosted maple neck, that had fret buzz no mather how high I set the action. Both more expensive than the 121DX, so I do not understand how these things go, maybe just luck of the draw ... hope it will stay this good for a long time as it is a birthday present.

    I have essentially the same one with a different switch and finish. My only complaint is that I can't lower the action without getting severe buzz. Several frets are at least four thou higher than the rest and it sucks. Apparently they don't glue the frets in place, and I'm sure they don't level them either. Aside from that, it's fine.
