Fazley FFB318SB Electric Guitar (Sunburst)

Surprising good quality after setting up play really well great guitar

Really nice copy of a firebird, only a little bit of fiddling to the action, bottom frets will need a sand down with my guitar set up kit,and pick up highered, all in all very impressived with the quality especially for £132.
Take chance you won't be disappointed.

A very good looking and good sounding guitar, no major issues at all, everything works and sounds great however it will need to be properly set up to experience it's full potential.

The bad stuff first. The neck pup didn't work at all, the pickguard screw nearest the knobs had speared the wire (causing a dead short) so I dismantled and soldered in new. Not everyone can do that.

Second, the distance between the strings and bridge pup was >10mm! The bridge pup was set on max height too, making this pup useless. With very skillfull handwork I re-worked the neck pocket to suit, now perfect action. I notice the bridge was on back-to-front. I did a few other guitar adjustments to get it set up right. This guitar should not have left the factory.

And now the good stuff. It's really a nice guitar! The main thing is the neck, yes it's 100% correct, nicely made, thick, all the frets work, no buzzing. Good tuners, stays in tune, intonation is perfect. Both pups have a nice tone and different tone, neck is smooth and the bridge is "quacky". It's also a lightweight guitar, strap balance is off a tad, repostion the button will sort that. The paint on the body is good, the knobs are smooth and nice, one tone is a little scratchy at one limit but that's small fry. Note that when in two pup mode, turing one vol to min will kill the sound! It's not a fault but the way this pup arrangement works. I had to get the circuit diagrams to check! Chromework is nice.

If a xmas gift or present, it could be disappointing needing a return to shop and the string height needing skilled attention, but once sorted, nice, especially at the price!
