Fazley Custom Series Hot Rod V2 FTD182 Shell Pink Electric Guitar with Fixed Bridge
first the downsides. The back of the neck was really rough. Its plain wood though so a quick rub with a bit of sandpaper and it was nice and smooth. The volume control was loose. it tightened up easily enough, but thats another simple quality control error.
The positives - The tuners work great, the bridge works great, the intonation was pretty much already there.
The better than expected - The nut was perfectly cut - thats one thing thats almost always a problem on ultra cheap guitars. The frets are all perfectly dressed and the fretboard feels rolled at the edges - this is something you dont often get on more expensive guitars. There was a couple of frets that benefitted from being tapped down, but there was no major problems
Its a single pickup guitar so its not to everyones taste, but if you just want a simple humbucker guitar for a spare at a gig or taking along to a practice its perfect, the stuff that its missing I never use.
