The Guitar That's Taking On Gibson and Epiphone!

Some guitarists are wondering what the best budget guitar is when you're looking for a Gibson style guitar, whether it's a Les Paul style or a semi hollow 338 style body. One company is challenging the established industry, AIO, All In One guitars is punching way above their weight class. With ebony fretboards, Grover tuners, flame maple top and backs, and beautiful fretwork, whether you're looking at the KSA-50 or the SC77 as covered by Lester Mitchell, it's hard to argue with the extreme value that these guitars provide.

I have American made les Paul's and strats. I took a Chance on aio wolf and bought an s1 based on one of your reviews. It is now my number 1. I plan to buy more of their guitars. You cannot beat them for price. They are ready to rock out of the box ! They even let you pick your setup specs for free, nobody else does that. I let them know you got me to buy it. Thanks guitar max.

Oh man, I didn't expect to see myself! Thanks so much for the shout-out Max!! Also, those blues licks you ripped sounded killer on that AIO 🎸

Hey, Max! It was posted on July 24, 2024. You might want to add it to your list of interviews.
I have an abiding respect for A.I.O. ever since I caught your interview with the big boss at their store. It’s the kind of thing I will never forget. Serious dude. I remember he personally double checks every single guitar after his people have finished setting them up. All of them.
That’s amazing; to be the one guy who says, “If you own an AIO, I saw it, I touched it, and it’s set up exactly my way. I approved THAT guitar myself.” Hell of a thing, Max. I don’t know of anybody else who can do and say that. That’s some serious culturally inherent, unrelenting pursuit of perfection and reputation. So if anybody has a complaint, they would talk to THAT guy.
All In One. Now THAT’s cool!

its an awesome time when we get guitars that are just as good as the big names at the fraction of the cost.

Gretsch: guitars and drums since the late 1800s

It's a company I hardly ever see discussed and they make some AMAZING gear. I have a semi-hollow G2627T and it sounds amazing for anything from punk and blues to reggae and thrash. Seriously, an underappreciated company that still puts out some superb gear

I bought this exact guitar based on your review, arrived today, and the quality compares well to my Gibson 335. Setup is perfect! This video is legit, AIO guitars are quality guitars!

[brothermarc]

Bottom line- this video SOLD me ! I talked to Jin today and they are going to install my wiring harness and pickups as well for a small fee. This is my 1st "new" guitar ever as it's my retirement present to myself.
Thank you for a great channel/page/show....whatever you kids call all this YouTube stuff- I love it !

[thebaldshredder]

Fantastic guitar. Still have my Wolf and it's amazing. And glad to see you giving some props to Lester. He certainly deserves it!

[matthewfarren]

Love the binding and ebony fretboard and dark mahogany headstock .

I wasn't aware of AIO guitars. Rather than shelling out a ridiculous amount for a Gibson Les Paul, I picked up a Hagstrom Swede. I'm extremely happy with it. I'll have to try an AIO. Thanks for introducing this brand!

[azcharlie]

I bought an SC 77 back during Covid, to cheer myself up. It really did the job! It is way beyond what I expected!! Now, I don't play electric a lot, but I'd love to have a 335 style guitar. This might be the one! I highly recommend everyone check out AIO. They are the best value there is! Thank you Max, for turning me on to them. Wish they made acoustics....

[BonkeyMucket]

I was given an AIO Wolf W400 recently. I cleaned it up and took it to my luthier to get it set up and checked out. He was really impressed with the guitar, as am I. I would definitely considering getting one of these as the quality is there.

[nahianoney]

Hey man you're a life savior. I was planning to go for a semi hollow body guitar within budget after seeing few reviews I saw this video of yours it just matched all the specs I would dream of getting within budget 😅 Goodluck man I will definitely stay updated with your contents as I've subscribed. Cheers man!

[jguineyster]

Hey Max, glad you and your family are safe from the fires bro. Lost my place in Big Bear 30 years ago after a quake and fire. Lost several vintage Gibsons and Fenders in that mess. I now live in Western Kentucky. Be safe and keep rockin my brother👍🎶🎶

[positivelydark]

A couple of years ago I purchased an AIO Wolf guitar in the PRS style, based on your review of it and I love it. Always stays in tune, sounds great, and plays amazing. My only other guitar that I like as much as it is my Les Paul Custom Shop Black Beauty which cost me about 15X more. The AIO guitar is that good!

[picksalot]

Beautiful inlay design on the Headstock. Nice to see that AIO appreciates the visual value of that.

[bryansimmons]

Excellent video, and great playing as usual!!


FTR, I have a Peerless Epiphone Casino from October 2001 in turquoise that I absolutely love. It has almost the best feeling neck of every guitar I have ever played or owned.

[kryptych]

I am still so in love with my AIO Wolf WLP750T... the sound, the feel, everything about it is sheer perfection. I bought it because of you, Guitar MAX, and I couldn't be happier. When my budget allows, I'll likely pursue another AIO guitar. They truly are an exceptional brand.

[m.vonhollen]

I owned, at different times in my life, 2 Ibanez AS-200’s. They were incredible! The best!

[farrelknight]

I can tell that I’m going to love everything about dealing with AIO guitars ! I se t an email today ask g about the weight of the guitar I ordered and received an answer within 4 minutes !! I thanked him for the info and the fast response!! Awesome job !!
