Impulse buy from Amazon

[ehdwuld]

The $139 semihollow tele is tempting me.

Has anyone compared these against more "premium"-featured Asia brands, like the stainless fretted EARTs?

Umm they are both cheap
you could perform that task and let us know

or just continue to be the interweb skeptic

My coworker just had the exact same guitar shipped to work. The guitar is beautiful and came perfectly set up. It plays like a dream and is a bit lighter than my Pauls. Best guitar I have ever played at that price point.

 

[BTMN]

Yep.

From the Amazonians:

• Perfect neck with almost no defectiveness

almost no

 

[Adieu]

almost no

For an LP that could be a problem


For a Tele, that's fixed in 5 mins with a razor blade or box cutter

 

[ehdwuld]

What are you going on about?

What can you do to a Tele with a razor blade
That you cannt do to an LP?

roll the fretboard edges?

What do you think a neck defect is?

I like the part above it that says

• all guitars are made punctually by CNC machine with computer programming

I want to load this IVY guitar with a Black Winter/Jazz combo

 

[ehdwuld]

Oh there's a youtuber that plays all those ivy guitars

He likes them all

And if they gave me new guitars i would make rave videos too

I have mine. It is an awesome value, and it's an enjoyable guitar to play. Every bit as good as my mid priced guitars.
I replaced the knobs, got a cheaper roller bridge that's doing it's job just fine and bought some chrome covers for my Blackwinter set.

 

[ehdwuld]

60ish C shape. Stays in tune between playing and while playing. Plastic nut. Fret buzz on high E first fret but dealt with easily. About 8.5 lbs. sounds ok unplugged. Haven’t cut loose with it with a big amp only my Brian May Vox for a few minutes.
