THE BEST GUITAR DEAL ON AMAZON?? Fojill Relic Telecaster REVIEW!
UPDATE 5/15/24: Well, the day after this vid went up this guitar was sold out (I’d love to take credit but likely just coincidence). I don’t know if this will help, but maybe if people are adding this to their Amazon lists, Fojill will restock. As a reminder, not sponsored in any way. I get no $ from Amazon or Fojill, just trying to pass along good finds: https://a.co/d/1yl7d6W
Hey friends! I’m back (sorta…for a bit..hehe) with a review of what I consider a great deal for anyone looking for a relic T-style geetar without breaking the piggybank. Here I play and review this thing COMPLETELY stock…right out of the box. Then asses what it needs, give it some love and see what we get. While I’m at it, let’s compare it to a MUCH more expensive T with Lollars..ya know…just for kicks.
00:00 Intro
00:40 PLAYING the stock guitar with unboxing
02:11 Why I bought this one
02:52 Stage One! Totally stock setup run through.
04:20 Tip to Toe. Running down the specs.
07:51 PLAYING stock guitar with stage one setup
08:17 Stage One assessment. What this thing is and what it needs.
10:41 Stage Two (cheesy music via Suno) work tape. Full tear down, setup, and re-assemble.
12:33 Quick word re: fret work
12:51 Back to work (even worse “song” via Suno)
13:50 PLAYING after Stage Two work. I lost my voice, so… you’ll have to read some stuff for the info
14:17 Mini VS. Video…Sound comparison of the Fojill and a Blevins T with Lollar ‘52 pickups.
16:00 PLAYING Oodles of noodles with a few final thoughts.

This absolutely proves my point I make with my father all the time. If you play well you will sound great on anything. If you suck , like we both do. You will suck on a custom shop strat. Bless you for what you are going through and staying positive.
It’s not the guitar. It’s your playing that makes it sound so good. Great feel and tasty playing!
Hey Man! Really enjoyed this. Just your positive outlook and passion for guitars with all you're going through is inspiring!
I'm 54, and someday when I grow up I hope to play like you! Love it! I have been buying, modding and gigging budget guitars since COVID, and I'm done spending Thousands on brand names! With some attention and a few upgrades, these are every bit as capable!
Rock on and I pray for good health and complete recovery for you brother!
God Bless and keep rockin'!
What is your guitar amp? Sounds very nice ????
It really didn’t sound bad
Such a great guitar for a beginner or anyone else for that fact.
Thoughts and prayers are with you my friend. Thanks for the great info as well.
River of deceit
Hey Man.
Thanks for this vid. Nice playing.
I saw a few things online in the past about Jack Pearson, a killer Nashville player. Apparently he plays Squier guitars. He will go into a store, play 10, and leave with the best 3. And…he sounds AMAZING!
Anyway Rog, I hope you kick cancer's ass!
Stay strong, stay positive. You can do it.
This guitar is further proof that nobody should pay more then $500 to get a decent instrument and this includes the work that's done on it????
I've prayed for you a few times and I am hoping to hear from you.
God bless, very informative video! I like the comfort cuts, bone nut, neck and fret board. Did you adjust truss rod?
Both Teles sound just as good. Especially if you did an electronics/pickup upgrade. So I really don't even understand the "for the money" statement anymore. To my ears, they are just as good. My high-end guitars need a setup too out of the box. With the money saved, you could upgrade all the parts to the top of the line and still be under half as much as those new Fender MIM "Player" series, etc. I do like my copies to have a more similar headstock to the Fender/Gibson style but that's just because I'm superficial. Lol.
Sounds great, I might have to get me one. The quality of affordable guitars these days why would anyone wanna spend 5,10 or 20 times as much on a big name brand?
hope the you are healing up alright – thanks for the great review and awesome playing
Hello. Thank you for this video. Does it appear to you that the body of this guitar is laminated sheets of mahogany? I recall you saying that it appeared to be a 3 piece body, but i also saw another video from a different channel that showed the body was layered in sheets. Thank you for your time.
Is the neck thin ? Usually when i buy a cheap guitar the neck is thicker than the sweater my gran knitted for Christmas as a kid
This shows how much an amp can make a difference
Most good stores include free set up with new guitar purchase.
wpw soumds great
come on…what are the setting? amp?
Great video and tasty licks. Only thing about teles is that ice pick factor. Shows you how overpriced the major guitar companies are at this point. Fender and Gibson are terrible offenders of treating their long term customers like shit
You make any Guitar sounds great!

I want one
they're all good deals for a few hundred bucks. The thing is for that price they're obviously not high quality or professional grade in materials or construction, and will likely have alignment issues and warp over time depending on seasonal humidity changes. They are cheap mass produced guitars for beginners –enjoy
Is the fingerboard real wood? I think Scarr found level frets, but some of these cheap Amazon guitars have rosin fingerboards.
Great sounding guitar for the money,well done sir.
Good luck with the rest of the mods,and good health to you my friend????
Please look into the Joe Tipppins protocol for C…!
tele's are ugly. but hope your cancer fight goes well.
