6:33 "I run to find fire extinguisher but I DONT have one. '

[RnZed]

You mean to tell me these guitars can get me a girlfriend to break up with?

[anonymike]

The $16 pink guitar is for the little tiny people who live inside your television and perform everything you see. I don't know how they still do it on a flat screen, but they do. I know there are no little people inside my laptops because I have taken several of them apart to do repairs and put them back together again, and I found no little people in there. That's encouraging.

Bryan’s the type of guy to shred the star spangled banner 🇺🇸

4:32 someone got a terrible Christmas present

[Sea_of_Waves]

Everybody gangsta until you find out the mini guitar comes with its own microscopic guitar pick

[zzjamie-is-over-partyzz]

it’s about time to appreciate her commitment to buying horrible rated instruments, defo a conversation worth discussing <3

3:28 As a cable enthusiast myself I’m so glad that it came with all those amazing cables 🤩

[Ristre]

You should put the mini guitar on your desk as a decoration. It’s pretty, even if it’s useless

[rabbadoodles]

The first one seems to be used for decoration

You inspired me to play guitar. It’s my 6th day learning, I already learned 7 nation army and Smoke on the water!! Tysm!! ♥️

I was sent a Glarry bass for review. I agree with you: for the price, it's not at all bad. We've actually recorded with it.

The last looks promising as well.

For the others: what ware people expecting at that price?

[GT-dhnk]

I involuntarily tense up every time I watch Elise open a box with scissors.

[brianzulauf]

I have that last guitar but I bought it as a kit and did the artwork myself it has intonation issues but it works.

Hey I have that Glarry Burning Fire, it was my first guitar and its actually pretty solid for a beginner. I haven't touched it in ages because i just hung it up on my wall since I stopped using it but as a beginner it was cool. Only issue I had with it was the 9th fret buzzing but I didnt care too much at that time.

[scottenglert]

"The fretboard is marble..." LOL That is one under-explored category of guitars... we should have more of them made of *rock*...

[pedrolantyer]

The shape on the guitar at @3:17 is based on ESP's F models like the LTD F50.
The problems described in the reviews can all be solved with a proper setup, and a few replacement parts.
The whole "second fret touching the string" thing is probably a mix of very low string action and a fret that wasn't properly leveled, adjusting action is very easy, but I'd recommend taking it to a luthier to level the fret because it's as job that requires a bit of experience, and the files used for this task aren't exactly cheap.
Strap holders are cheap, Schaller's strap locks are very good and cost around 20USD.
It's not a bad instrument, people just expect way too much from a cheap instrument, and at the end of the day, you get what you paid for. It's 80USD, could you get something better in the used market? Yes, Squier's affinity strats are great for beginners and you can find them on the used market for anywhere between 60 and 100USD.
Could it be made into a good guitar? Absolutely. While I don't expect anyone to actually do this, it could serve as a mod platform.
A Set of Gotoh Locking Tuners, replacement bridge from Gotoh, stainless steel frets, GraphTech nut, Seymour Duncan 59/JB set on bridge and neck, Seymour Duncan SSL1 on middle position, replacement pots, a new output jack and schaller strap locks. Then just do a full setup, and boom you got yourself a great guitar.

i bought that same guitar at 2:58 a few days ago lol.

[FlameFlickers]

Good idea for a video. Now do a similar video with one star rated keyboards.
You don't have to do it right now, you can have a snack first. But you have to do it immediately after your snack.
