Fazley Classic Series Buttercup FTL200BSB-M Butter Blonde electric guitar

Very good for the price I paid £65. Has a string through body, which is impressive for the price. However not such good value at the current price.Came badly intonated and buzzy. Took a while to sort out.My East Coast tele came playable our of the box.
The binding is paint.

Having decided that I needed a Telecaster style guitar at a reasonable price I came across this Fazley at a ridiculous £79. I loved the look of the maple neck and the bound body so bought it. my intention was always to modify as required. when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised. Packaging & speed of delivery was excellent, the guitar needed no adjustment to the neck, string height or intonation. The frets needed a little polishing but were even, apart from one and the binding & body were brilliant. The pickups were adequate although the bridge was too bright, the controls worked fine but the strings were poor. I upgraded the pickups, bridge & controls with a kit from Alnicov and decent strings. The guitar is now brilliant. If you are a beginner or want a Tele to modify buy one of these.

The body work on these fazley guitars are second to none set against my bigger brand guitars they don't look any less quality. Paint work is just as good /fretboard & fret's finished as good/ the body on it's own is easly worth a lot more than you pay. Hardware & pickup's great for beginners a set of good strings & you're off & you can always modified as you progress like I said the body is top quality . I would definitely recommend they are a bargain hard to get one nowadays. I bought 2 & would definitely get another few & save a lot of money with a little modification they can be all the guitar you need.

I purchased this guitar as a Christmas present for my son (hope he does not see this review before the big day). I had previously purchased a Fazley left handed natural telecaster variant earlier in the year for myself which I have found to be excellent for the price and quality and have reviewed it on this site at the time.
On this occasion Bax mucked up my order and forget to dispatch it. Only after querying it did then dispatch and I got it a week after ordering. I thought they may have chucked in a freeby as a gesture of goodwill?
I could not agree more with the reviews from John, Danny (The Smart Way youtube channel-recommended-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umei7JWdJWA) and Jonny from the Budget Guitar Show (https://youtu.be/wjtcdKKwCoY), all directly below. Ignore the next four identical verbatim negative comments all posted on the same day 29/3/21.
For the money this guitar is fantastic and it really sounds good. It needed tuning out of the box but the action and sound is more superior than my Fazley. Any further adjustment can be done my son as it will be his guitar.
In a nutshell I cannot find any fault for the price and at the end of the day this is what you need to keep in mind.

Checked out the reviews of this guitar prior to buying, and I have to say for the price I'm very impressed.
An alteration to the setup required, but a very good looking guitar paint work is great, although I would describe the colour as almost a mustard yellow.

Fretboard is very comfortable and plays nicely with a satin feel and vintage tint to it. Frets look good with no sharp edges although this seems to have been done after the neck / fretboard finish was applied causing a very thin almost unnoticeable line down each side of the fretboard possibly exposing the fretboard maple. Personally doesn't bother me too much.

Guitar sounds better than expected from the ceramic pickups which I will keep for a while plays nicely with the potential to upgrade hardware in the future.

Watch the review of this fantastic Guitar. This is certainly a new contender to challenge all brands in the low end market. Glarry, Harley Benton and Squier there is a New Guy on the Block and its not playing games ;)

If you want a quality Telecaster that sounds and plays amazing for an unbelievable price DO NOT HESITATE to buy a Fazley

Fantastic Guitar for the Price point. check out the video to see for yourselves

I'd avoid this guitar and brand. Poor quality control.

I've been playing over 30 years and used many new and used instruments and this is worst I've come across. The paintwork is great but that's where it ends.

The one I received was almost unplayable and had an shim in the neck pocket along with wood filler. The depth of the pocket deviated 1.5mm, accuracy is crucial to the setup. The neck pickup cover wasn't grounded and the string ferrules fell out when it came to changing the strings.

The neck pocket has been cut too deep and a shim and filler has been applied to try to remedy this. It's flawed from the outset, a setup is going to be extremely difficult when the tolerances are out.

The hardware and electronic are the cheap, I expected that. I was looking for a decent body and neck to upgrade. Maybe I was just unlucky, very disappointed.
