Fazley FTL218XW Electric Guitar

Its a good cheap beginner guitar but that front finish is hideous. Actually worse than the pictures. Easily fixable with some paint. The setup was OK. Its stupidly light which is a bonus for a Tele. Tuners are horrible though. For £61 you really can't go wrong.

Fazley FTL218XW Electric Guitar

Ordered in mid June 2022 and it arrived 3 or 4 days later so really speedy service considering it was coming from Netherlands and being sent to the UK while a rail strike was underway.
It was reasonably well packaged - the guitar was wrapped in plastic inside a cardboard box which in turn was inside a bigger cardboard box and padded with big air pocket plastic. The guitar box wasn't taped and had opened slightly but, the guitar was okay.
I am impressed with the overall quality of finish for the price but, there was some fret buzz on the 8th fret when holding down on the 7th. The neck was straight but, I had to adjust the action but, it was still there. Turns out the fret wasn't fully seated so I tapped it home and polished it and that sorted it out. It sounds very nice although the pickups are weak so I'll probably upgrade them. The top loaded bridge is a bit jangly but, has holes for a through body set up so it will be an easy job to drill and set it up this way. Overall I am very happy with it.

My initial plan was to sand off the finish and apply a different colour(blue probably) which would also show off the grain but, I am actually really happy with the look of it that the finish is staying as it is but, I will upgrade the pickups(probably hot rail style in the neck and a hotter bridge pickup) and tuners and as said above change it to a through body string arrangement and put on a clear pickguard so that you can see more of the wood.

I got mine end April, speedy service, no issues with the product.

Im mighty impressed with this guitar. Fret finish good, looks terrific, had some great comments from my pals - checkput my "almost unboxing my Fazely Telecaster" video on you tube.

For the price of a night out, a decent playing great looking guitar? Shouldnt be possible. But they did it.

Fazley FTL218XW Electric Guitar

I've had this guitar for a week now today is the 6/3/22. I was gobsmacked at how good this guitar is! I bought it brand new for £49 plus delivery. At that price I was expecting lots of problems but was curious about this brand. I thrilled with the whole thing. The tuners are great. The feel of the neck is awesome very small/ thin. The sound is ok. A great guitar at an unbelievable price!!! I will definitely be buying more from Bax's house brand FAZLEY. It just proves that you don't need to spend a lot to get started playing guitar. Thank you Bax Music 😎👍

Fazley FTL218XW Electric Guitar

I review guitars for my youtube channel, and really wanted to try a Fazley guitar. I love the finish on this product, it looks beautiful. And the price is good. The whole guitar is well made, and sounds good. My only issues are that the back got damaged in transit, as the box it was shipped in is so flimsyit is unsuitable to pack a guitar in. The truss rod is loose, and the pick gusrd looks ugly, one colour chuncky plastic. Customer service took 3 emsils and a phone call before i was told i coulfd have a £10 credit because of the damage. Ivwill try another Fazley soon, as the brand seems ok, they just need better protection when shipping.

Fazley FTL218XW Electric Guitar

This guitar looks great is well made and sounds even better. Even with existing strings it has quite a range to it, and I imagine with better strings it will sound and play even better still. Stays in tune well and all controls work smoothly. It is well balanced on the shoulder when a strap is fitted. At this price you'd be hard put to find something as good at twice the cost, so this one is a bargain.

Had this guitar a month now and apart from a little tuning up plays brilliant.

Great value and good delivery time.

Find I pick this up instead of my Ibanez.

Fazley FTL218XW Electric Guitar

This guitar was a pleasant surprise. For the price, it is far better finished than many guitars costing hundreds of pounds more. The intonation was spot-on, and the overall playability is great - this is all straight out of the box! Only thing I had to do was re-tune slightly! For a beginner / back-up guitar this is extremely good value. Well Done Fazley! Shipping is first class from BAX music - Thanks Guys and Girls!

Fazley FTL218XW Electric Guitar

Esta guitarra es conocida por su excelente precio para lo que ofrece. Algunas reseñas como las de Elmo Karjalainen dicen que es "demasiado barata" y que se "nota como barata", pero yo la verdad es que la siento perfectamente aprovechable, y una plataforma para modificaciones muy interesante a un precio extraordinario, y a veces con ofertas todavía mejores. Coincido con reseñas como la de John Robson.
Pros:
- Buen trabajo de trastes y mástil cómodo. Ningún trasteo ni bordes punzantes en los trastes. Muy sorprendente para este nivel de precio. En este punto, que para mí es el más importante de una guitarra, no la noto como una "guitarra barata".
- Peso, increíblemente ligero. Y pese a ser una guitarra tan, tan ligera, no cabecea. ¡Sorprendente!
- Estética funky provocadora, original y llamativa. Yo incluso quería un dibujo de madera más psicodélico como el de la foto de Bax, pero la que me ha llegado tiene un dibujo un poco diferente, algo más discreto.
- La estabilidad de la afinación es razonable.
Contras:
- Vibraciones en el puente algo molestas, es el punto más negativo. Me ha pasado también en alguna otra Fazley. Pero son soportables con la guitarra enchufada y se puede cambiar fácilmente el puente a bajo coste.
- Cejuela de plástico claramente barata y de bastante mal aspecto, aunque luego la afinación es bastante estable.
- Electrónica propia de una guitarra de este precio: no tiene muchos matices, aunque es utilizable, no es 'on-off'.
Las cuerdas de fábrica, por supuesto, son malas y hay que cambiarlas.

En definitiva, una guitarra que por estética muy original y por funcionalidad, ha sido una buena compra para mí.
