Those indentations on the back of the body aren’t imperfections , they are actually tone grooves that improve the sound of the guitar .

I like how the output jack doubles as a kill switch.

The reverb on the plastic peel took it to a whole new level

I really appreciate the cost breakdown for importing it from the states. Really useful info that's usually hard to find.

[Sticky_Tea]

6 strings attached, that one gave me a real good snicker, thanks Landon 😂👍🏻

[mykhedelic]

Well, it looks good. The dings on the back suck, but they're on the back. Only a matter of time before a belt buckle could've done that. For $120, you're on your way on the path of many before you. Soon you can cut your own way.

Does listening count 😂

Some people hate when you play cheap guitars through expensive Amps because it proves what I've always known. Great tone is more about the amp and a lot less about the guitar. I started playing in 1976 with a cheap guitar and an old Fender tube amp that belonged to my dad. Anything we plugged in to that amp sounded good.😮

For those of us who can fix the funcitonal problems, it would be better to find an old strat-like guitar (Yammy EG, Crate Electra, etc etc) for $50, and go from there. You'll find some that have a wonderful real Strat-like body and rolled necks, upgraded tuners, and some impressive 70's dirty sounding pickups. I love finding them, making them sweet, and then handing them off to kids to learn.

My Gearit Strat was $131C. No QC issues, beautiful finish, rounded and smooth fret ends, straight maple neck, tone and volume controls that actually work, steady sound, ok gig bag, extra strings, tuner, decent cable and a fun little amp with blue tooth. Totally surprised by how decent it is. Fender May be making an attempt to stay in the “value” segment but too little too late.

I like matte finishes on guitars so I am a fan of the body color.

[rowbags]

Every guitar review video needs a "peeling off the plastic" section like this. Adding the reverb was truly inspired. 😎

[paul_sebastian]

I can’t help but laugh out loud whenever I watch your videos 😂

[markdeloria]

"Not a modder"... I'd mod it. I'd mod it so hard. A guitar like that just screams to be modded. At that price, you could learn how to replace frets and all other maintenance without worrying about destroying the guitar... either you destroy the guitar, or make it 1000x better. Either way you learn what to do and what not to do. If you mess up and destroy the guitar, you're not out much. If you're successful, then you got a good guitar that didn't cost an arm and a leg (unless you had a mishap while working on the guitar).

[carpathus]

Good grief the prices we pay today! Just a few short years ago I got my mint mim strat off Reverb for $380 US.

[glenclifton]

Great information!! Thanks for all the videos you bring us. The guitar is pretty cool. Put the loaded pick guard and give us a demo.Keep on playing, we'll keep on watching!!

[joeandreana]

I got "Legendary" Bullet Mustang, added a Tusk Nut, shielding paint, gentle neck sanding w/gun oil wipe, and very basic set up for about $130 total. Great guitar. You can do a lot with a little with a Squier.

[oliveruhrinec]

I actually landed after many sub 600 guitars on cheapest JET stratocaster and it is perfect. Feeling, setup, rounded edges, no issues at all. I might say its the best price / performance ratio guitar.

When I first saw this guitar on Amazon I thought wow I can sell my Donner DST-200 That I got from Amazon for $109 and use the money to buy the Fender. But after watching a lot of reviews on it I'm going to keep the Donner. I know your Amp can make or break a guitar but I'm just not impressed with the sound and to me the pic ups sound weak. All in all it was a good review. Thanks for posting
