Have you checked the ibanez gsa 60..which is after some Work surprisingly good-,) i find!
HB sc ????
i will have to disagree on the jet js 400. I have one i picked up a year ago or so and i think its not so good… the pickup screws all have stripped and is now unplayable and for the price the quality isn't so good. the tuning stability leaves a lot to be desired and for that price you have guitars with better build quality and alnico pickups. At least thats in my opinion ofc but those are some of the problems ive had
Brilliant etc is personal. Hand shape etc.
I think you could make two strings on a log sound good…
Moi! Paras Elmo! ???????????? Finnish guitar guy here as well! About the jet 300 i got the left roasted maple one! And wow! I gotta say its so clean,clear at the same time chruncy sounding as well its got those ceramic pick ups ive never had those before ill play and avoid those buzzing sounds as much as i can but otherwise a really good guitar for a cheaper price then im a proud,humble owner of a Prs se 24 tobacco sunburst or whatever of course more expensive buy and both these guitars are a breeze to play! About the Prs, the stuff to hold the cable in the guitar hole is kaputt! So i got to get it repared, i got a left handed guitar friend as well! And they curtainly dont grow on trees! So to speak so now we are two left handed good friends too! He told me to watch out for these hurry built up guitars by the big companies no matter the price many have lot of issues just because of stress built agenda no check up of quality and the best ones are those small guitar builders who put their heart,soul,reputation building their guitars but at the same time must sell their guitars for much higher price to survive and that is understandable of course, so in conclusion what is missing is the above mentioning of quality control otherwise stick to really nice guitar friends that help eachother out in this jungle of real horrible stuff made versus few good stuff kind regards
Love the channel. You have a review of the Jet Jt300 where you say it's better than the HB TE62….but you don't mention it here. Is there a reason? Thanks for the great info.
Should ı buy Cort g110 or Ibanez grx40 (I am beginner) Is there much difference between the two? Cort is cheaper. If you guys choose Cort press like button. If you choose Ibanez press dislike button
I would assume that what you should consider is the type of music you are going to play or does that matter now with all the synthesizers and pedals?
Great info. I will check them out. That "time bomb" display thingy in back of you is distracting. lol
I had a Jet and had to return it, the humbucker at the bridge kept breaking up. I dunno if it was a Jet common problem or if it was the dealer who wasn't able to solve. So I ended up switching with a Yamaha Pacifica since I needed a quality built guitar to heal :-).
the sound of harley is bad1
Ritchie Blackmore used a Gibson 335 at the start of his career in Deep Purple and in my opinion it sounded better than a Strat
Hello! Thank you for making these videos, is it okay if I ask for some advice? I see you recommend the Harley Benton TE 62 so I assume it's better than the Squire Sonic Tele RLR right? They're pretty much the same price. Then, any thoughts on the Harley Benton R 446? What about a second hand Epiphone SG special? Thanks in advance :]
Great video….Thanks! Now which one did you enjoy playing the most?
Jet JS-400 I think is also the Donner 200DX Strat!
I woukd always strive fir a guitar beyond my means which meams saving.
Iam from Indonesia, your videos and views are great!
Have you ever heard the SQOE guitar? In Indonesia right now, SQOE guitar the most guitar selling
No beginner could ever make any of these guitars sound like this. ???? (I should know. I'm a beginner, and everything I play sounds like sh!t.)
Your reviews are the best
he was really playing the simpsons theme song with the first guitar
would u say the Harley Benton ST-62CC bundle would be good and value for money for a beginner it comes with HB 20R amp aswell
what would ur thoughts be on a Harley Benton ST-62CC bundle as a beginner would it be value for money?
What do they mean by this beginners… I still dont understand.. R we mad paying more than 30k to get a begener guitar…
I want to learn guitar and play with my dad
I'm the last child to leave the nest. But electric guitar always makes me think of my dad despite the distance. He is where I got my music taste from. My mum LOVES her violin and music theory, but it's my dad and I who compulsively listen to music. It's genuinely sensory regulation for us
I remember many years ago my sister-in-law giggling with my brother about how my dad and I were both sat in the front of the car, bopping to some rock song the same way. To us it was natural! I guess to her it was a prime example of "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" ????
I remember him playing "Singring and the Glass Guitar" for me when I was just a little girl as well. When I was at the age right between only knowing fairy tales, and beginning to understand the "real" world (so just the right time for that song)
I texted and asked him the other day if he remembered that. He said "Of course"
Can't wait to see my parents again ????
I really liked the look of SC-550 v1, that light sunburst that v2 lacks. A shame they don't make it anymore, I'd buy this guitar on sight.
holy smokes the last jet one that sounds amazing
Man has the first name that makes me want to tickle him and a last name that sounds like it could summon the Kraken. I have decided to sit at a respectful distance and use my hands on a guitar he recommended.
What do you think about the Harley Benton's with the EMG's in them? Thanks
Darrel did a modification on a budget on the Indio guitar. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8ZpTWPnJ20&list=PLQSzW7Xe0OyeAlfaFUiCtDh6DIaI-6m2Y
No, no, no. You keep climbing man, beginners (or whomever buys for them) don't have 250+ euros for a first guitar that they may or may not just abandon completely after 2 months. Also recommending a semi-hollow to beginners is just seriously wrong in many levels. Then you recommend a 3-saddle tele to a newbie. You also keep recommending Harley Bentons. They have issues many times, setup and such is garbage. Beginners will need to take it to a luthier to get a proper setup, fix fret sprouts, fix tall frets and god knows what else (like non-working pups and such if it's not immediately sent back due to that to Thomann). Way to lose a sub mate.
Hi Elmo tok you're and others advice and bought a Eart sss standard and its as Advertised love it now by saying that im not a dude that will say its better than my Friends $2000 Fender I have $232 usd in it but I would say its as good as a Squier classic vibe i got a red one and it didn't have fret sprouts but I still have to take it to my guitar guy and have him do something with the wang bar flopping around dont like that only thing i can find fault with thinking about buying a Jet 400 real soon loved you're show with in on another video keep doing what you do Bro
I say it again: spending more than a 700$ on a guitar if you are not a orofessional is wasting your money
And yamaha pacifica?
Should I get the jet or the squire affinity?? Which is better
what about Newen Stratocaster? is it good better than pasifica 012?
Ibanez imo is the best guitar you can get for your money next to Squier.
Wow, you really loved that HB Tele! There are obviously a lot of good value instruments out there. Many thanks.
Currently shopping around for a 'budget' electric, preferably strat in the HSS config. But now I'm concerned about floating bridges so common among them. I've no interest in trems, and don't want to deal with tuning issues just bending notes.
Are there no HSS hardtails out there??
Great reviews dude. I'm tempted to trade my 112v Pacifica ???? can you recommend a guitar up from that?
Dear Elmo – which one is better (or better for the money) – Jet js-400 or Sire S3? I've had Jet in my hands and I was very impressed but people tell me Sire is the one to go to. Should I buy Jet or put some more cash and buy S3? Please advice if possible. Thanks in advance.
I missed out on a Cort G200DX in Java Sunset recently. I thought it was a POS but then I watched the Gear4Music demo on it. It had been sold by the time I went back for it! Regrets, I've had a few…..as the song goes….!
Hello Elmo????, I'm new to the electric guitar scene and im wondering ???? should I get the Yamaha Pacifica 012 or the Jet js400 which have similar prices. Planning to get a second-hand fender lt40s amplifier too.
Would you recommend a yamaha pacifica 012 over a jet js400?
