    I don't know how many times I almost bought this or their 800 series. I can't believe it would be better than my Monsoon, or can it? Speaking about my Monsoon, I had about 5 high frets and one was actually fretting out on around the 15th fret.
    I had bought files for this very problem. OK, here's my first time trying to level frets. I worked on each fret individually and it came out flawlessly. Crowned each fret and polish all of them along with cleaning the fretboard and oiling it. My Monsoon now looks and plays beautifully.
    The Fesley looks and sounds great but I'll stick with my Monsoon. 😊

    I could definitely hear those pickups struggling to get that thick 80s tone, but for $120-$140ish, it sounded pretty good. That trem is sus. Would rather see it have a set bridge. I'd put it on my secondary guitar list. Thanks for the review!

    Keep up your work Richard. In Canada its more difficult to order on amazon as there are fees for import often. The key difficulty for myself is memory for notes physically i have zero limitations on playing fast.
    The biggest thing is picks for playing. I use a 0.88 tortex green, 1.0 tortex blue, 1.0 nylon black dunlop, and 1.6 red george dennis dunlop. 0.88 on days i want less speed and focus on accuracy, the 1.0 blue if more picking force, the 1.0 black if need to escape mentally, and 1.6 red if memory is needed. Colors of guitars and picks to me affects how playing feels, subtle but nonetheless present.
    Additionally different players think different, vinnie moores playing is easy to remember, yngwies thinking is just bizarre, and macalpines is heavily influenced by his piano.

    Since inlay work usually costs you more I wonder how much cheaper these would be without all of Fesley's advertising on it? Lol
    Or do they justify the low price because it's an advertisement from any angle? Lol
    As soon as I saw the matte green finish (ya mean basically the same color every youtuber picked up from Jackson 4/5 months ago?) I just had to pick one up. Lol
    Using jacksons saturation and capitalizing on it. Good job Fesley!

    Nice shredding but I was wondering how the FST400M compares to the FDK800, I know that the FDK800 is a little more expensive and has a high gloss finish but are there any other differences. I saw you video on the FDK800 and bought one but I was just curious as to if there were any differences in how they play.

    Looks great, but sounds pretty dark clean. It might just be your settings, but it sounds like my Firefly that I modded with Iron Gear Metal Machines (22k in the bridge), so for it only being 12-13k, that's pretty impressive.
