How Can This £160 7 String Be So Good? | G4M 529 Unboxing

After the absolute horror-show of my last couple of Gear4Music guitars, they sent me the 529 to review. This one shocked me.

Glad you liked this one. I was really impressed with the one they sent me. The specs for the money are kind of insane. Really looking forward to the one that is showing up in the next couple days, I think it's right up your alley actually! 👀

[BudgetPedalChap]

It's crazy the quality that they can pump out at this price point, especially when you compare to the last one. Though I have to say, I think that one looked better

[dinispereira]

Great review! Were you using standard tunning during the review?

[diegovi]

I appreciate you play pray for rain clean part.

[extendedrangetechmetal]

it intonates well at the whole fretboard ? every note is in tune all over?

[noirenowaru]

Id love to see you check out the G4M 255 Deluxe! been thinking about trying it out, but theres like no reviews for them

[DoveSimon]

That's a pretty sick guitar for the price!

[Cpmnk]

What you should be asking g4m for is their hartwood guitars. They have some of the coolest designed budget guitars around.

[IPangkhor]

Would you guys recommend this guitar to beginner or some 6 stringer?! I’m interested in -core metal, everything Stephen Carpenter does etc…

[KennethBickerstaff]

Depending on country of origin, the price point is a result of people being paid like sh!t. The other outcome is quality control being sketchy AF.

Mate they are sending you the best ones out of the batch. I mean I ordered 2 different instruments from their line (Both highest end of their brand). Unplayable instruments, because of the sharp knifes instead of frets...

[Yosser]

Come on mate, with them sending you one, don’t you think they’d open it up and make sure they sent you a decent one? Not fully set up because that’d be a give away but no lose pots, fret ends sticking out etc. For the cost of half an hours time finding a good one and the cost of the guitar, you’ve given them some great advertising. Only trust reviews where the guitar has been purchased and if it’s a big YouTuber, bought through a friend to hide who it’s going to. You know they’ve got your address now and it’s flagged for attention so they send you decent stuff in the future. The big problem with cheaper guitars is consistency some will be ok some will be rubbish. Harley Benton seem to have largely got ahead of this problem (still not perfect) and become a real player in the market but think G4M have a long way to go yet.
