I had the pleasure of checking out this model recently at the NAMM show, so I was really excited to get my hands on one at home to give it the full Bald Shredder treatment. But is it worthy of the #1 spot on Amazon? Let's find out! Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe.

I come for the reviews and your quirky sense of humor. I STAY for the awesome jams that you write and perform. Right down my alley! Great stuff as always. God bless and rock on 👍🎸😎
I appreciate that!
Man,, I will put 4 strings on my kitchen broom, send it to you.. And be AMAZED by what you play on it!! You ROCK BUD!!🤘🤘🙏
See if you can talk Justin Johnson into sending him a shovel guitar to review.
Man, that song has me getting ready to head out on summer vacation in 1989. And I always love how you don't just totally overdo the shredding. Awesome.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks to everyone in this community for your insights!🙏🙏 We will refer to it and learn from it. There are more project on the way this year!💪
Any 24 fret flying V???
@@alexio6977 Has been conveyed to the team developers! Planning in progress! Thank you very much for your suggestion!
If you guys develop a headless with a solid tremolo unit it would sell like crazy
@@Shreadless Thank you for your attention! Maybe there will be! In the future! I'll pass it on to Fesley's R&D team!😎
@@FesleyMusic I’d be happy to collaborate on design and testing! Headless get and modifications are my specialty
That opening song you wrote is so optimistic and fun. And very inventive. I love it!
Another great demo!
What a great deal, and we all dig goodie bags! I LOVE the tones on your clean jam, it made a gloomy rainy Monday a little brighter. Rock-On Shredder!
🎶🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸🎵
Great jam this time. This is a pretty nice guitar that is worth the price! Thanks for sharing this. Keep on shreddin'!
I like how you reach back to the 80's and snatch up some awesome riffs! Enjoyed the jam. Nice guitar. Engineered fretboards are supposed to be stiffer that all wood fretboards. I have no problem with this.
Cool guitar, cool jam, cool video. Thanks.
As usual with many of the guitars you feature, amazing bang for the buck!
Just ordered the blue one, can't wait!
I like that headstock on that one.
Good Job as always, especially on the info of the little items that tend to annoy buyers. 😉
Great review and shredding , looks and sounds awesome. PS I noticed the Monsoon is back in stock and they have them in black now , looks killer!✌️🤘
Great video, you might want to drop a small spring in the tremolo bar hole it worked on other guitars for me.
Epic Jam Brother
i really like all th new guitars you are reviewing Richard and i like the fesley guitars but the one i really love is the monsoon i was lucky enough to get a one off from Leo Jaymz from namm that guitar is awesome i love it i think what your doin here with these guitars is amazing and people appreciate the reviews you do thank you for this channel
Yeah these look like really killer guitars - esp for that kind of cash. And as always, a great jamm. Lots of fun here. Ole' 6-String Stanger just had the Black one on his channel this week-end, and that one looks amazing too. I really dig what they did with these. I want one!
Great vid, subbed.🤘🏻
Amazing playing, 🤘🤘🤘 keep up great work!!
Thanks, will do!
Looks like a good option. I do agree with some of the feedback about the block neck joint, branding on the fretboard, etc. I know you and others have given them some advice, and I hope they’ll take it! Hopefully they’re reading the comments so they will also have feedback from customers.
They are listening. Let's hope they take the advice.
Nice review!
I'm a First Timer Here.Very Good Presentation, I will Subscribe!
@@davidjorgenpedersen8010 thanks
I actually love your playing but those drum tracks are hilarious! I'd be lost without your budget guitar reviews tho. I've been playing forever but I'm still kinda mediocre... but I do love trying new gear and changing pickups and finishes and things, it's just fun. Nice to be able to know what to get to keep it cheap since I'll probably always suck hahaha Keep up the good work!
I like that black headstock as well, that was good move by them.
Cool Jam !!!
Oh no, another guitar I want that I don't need. It does sound and look great.
😄
Phenomenal jamming my smooth-headed dude! You definitely got you a new subscriber!❤️🎸❤️🤟😝🤟
Awesome, thank you!
That's pretty!!! Very nice //looking
Great sound guitar thanks you 😊
I like those harmonics you added to your jam. That's hard to do. 🔥🎸
Wow you sound great thank you.
6StringStanger did a great review of this Guitar 🎸 Very good Design.
Plus Stanger Whammied it pretty good and it stayed in Tune
Richard, try some Fender tremolo arm tension springs in that bad boy . I'm still using my first package of them!
That thing is beautiful man!! everything you mentioned is right up my alley man I'll have to try one I like the trem wabbling because I pull from the back like Steve Vai from wish, love the way it sounded, that little MAB tribute was sick by the way, lol it would be cooler if the trem was like the LJ ones, thing is awesome though man need that bigeer neck for these chunky hands,..haha Great video, and great guitar man!!
Yeah you would love this one.
Right on man.
I was on the line with you that night. You had the earthquake period period and I was asking a question about either.
Either I Y V or Presley, bringing out any HSS and at that time. He told me you didn't think that they were or because there's so many h. Yes. S hers on the market. But I'm glad to see that they did bring something out. That looks so beautiful and sounds so great. I really wanna purge when I'm hoping I have it. I wanna get on now Amazon right now.
Thanks for the info.
The tremolo bar problem is an easy fix, they actually make a little spring you can put in there and then you screw the bar in and it slowly puts tension on the bar as you screw it in, thus eliminating the loose rattling noise
Man I'm so sorry I'm such a fan and I watch everything and it comes to my feed and wow CZcamsrs do tell the truth when they say you watch my stuff but don't subscribe I was that guy lol key word was lol love your stuff keep it up I have really been trying to find more on Leo Jayme flamed maple neck guitars you seen at name I really hope he pulls through with it cheers tbs.Tim from London canada
Some teflon tape on the trem bar threads will fix it. Almost a must on cheap guitars of any brand. Also did a little measuring on my Cozart Strat and discovered it is actually a Dinky body. It always felt a little off to me for a Strat, but in a good way. It is actually my number one these days after swapping in an old set of Fender Vintage Noiseless and CTS pots. The cheap dime pots simply could not handle the Fender pups.
For the loose wiggle stick, you can try putting some copper tape around the threads. That should hold it in place better.
Yeah I know, but let's face it, lots of people are too lazy to do that. LOL. A push in bar would be much preferred.
Put a small tremolo spring in it . Amazon has them cheap I got a few for my Strat and they work great.
Cool guitar. Sounds like a keeper to me. About the loose trem bar, the classic 6 screw and 2 point trems usually come with a small spring that is supposed to go it the trem bar hole before you thread the bar into place. It provides resistance so there is no slack in the bar. Sometimes there's a tiny ziplock bag included that has the spring, sometimes there's no included spring.
Thanks RJ. No spring with this one.
Thank you so much for all that you do! Appreciate your reviews of "affordable" guitars! Aside fromt he reviews, love your playing ! May I ask a quick question, if you are to pick between the Fesley FDK800 and the Leo Jayme Monsoon, which would you pick? Thank you.
Monsoon!
I like that blue
Looks fabulous - even as a wall hanging. Your track is grand, as usual, really nice playing. And those clean sounds are sparkly, full and bright. What's not to like?
Thanks for listening
Really dig it.
I love your channel and videos bu it would have been nice to do the clean demo without a modulation effect on it. It doesn't need to be dry, maybe just use some reverb and delay. The chorus effect just covers up what I'm trying to hear when I'm listening to cleans.
With that said, I'm probably going to buy this guitar anyway. I'll probably the fender trem spring to get the bar where I want it
IMO you should have different Guitars 🎸 for different tones...Metal, Classic Rock, County Southern Rock, Pop Jazz, Blues... If you want to play more than one Type of music 🎵🎶 ... Personally my wife and I play 🎻 violin, 🎹 piano, 🎸 Guitar 🎸 both electric and Acoustic... Great Review... Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃
For sure! We need variety.
I have a slightly used Fez in satin sunburst,wounder if they would trade even up for the new model !?
Ha ha, no I don't think so.
I wish they used something different for the dots otherwise very tempting
One trick with the bar like that is to wrap some plumbers tape around the threads of the bar. It'll tighten it up and might hold it then where you need it.
As for as the bar, someone could use some putty on the threads of the bar it will take of the slack.
Why the chorus/Tremelo on clean setting?
Imagine that...Fesley on the accessories... DUDE SERIOUSLY??!!
The guitar is cool, but really serves as a great excuse to check out your original tunes, which I always enjoy :)
Try some plumbers thread tape on the whammy bar will make it tighter
Nice jams! I've written and recorded around 100 songs in the last 30 years! I play guitar,bass,keyboard, and live and program drums! For what? I don't know? 😂🤘 thanks Shredder
Even with the loose bar, it would be good to demonstrate the whammy, specially about tuning stability.
I may get yelled at for this, but at my age, I really don't give a crap. I am 66 and have been playing for 51 years. I really appreciate your playing though I am not really in to metal, I live somewhere between Deaf Leopard and Deep Purple with a little, Jethro Tull thrown in there. I recently watched a video from a creator I am sure you are familiar with, Guitar Max, and one from someone you may not be familiar with, Leo Gibson. Both are accomplished guitarists but it seems lately, they are getting lazy. I respect the way your pick hand keeps up with your fret hand, you basically pick pretty well ever note you want to play. I am a purist, and this to me is how the guitar is meant to be played. I am more of a strat, superstrat style guitar lover, though I have a number of guitars with humbuckers, find overdriving single coils produce the sound I am looking to create. And to end, to your viewers, speaking from experience. If you find a guitar, either new or used that was made in Indonesia, check that guitar out thoroughly. I have been very impressed with a couple of so called, lower end guitar purchases made in Indonesia. To the point where I own six of these guitars made in Indonesia. Keep doing your thing, looks like your efforts are very appreciated by your followers.
Thanks
Is Def Leopard really deaf?
Put some Teflon tape around the threads of the bar , that'll fix that problem 👍, nice playing 🤘
I know I’m stating the obvious when I say…you totally rock Mr. Bald Shredder man.
Thanks!
i like too see and ask please a show of whos the best iyv best metal shreader guitar against leo james and that fesly now that would be a show
Thank you for the video, Richard. Now my problem is I want to get another 6-string electric after recently buying my second Cigar Box Guitar 😄
Edited here: I just remembered I wanted to ask you what the song is that you were playing when you checked the 5-position switch.
Just something I made up.
Bro, fender makes a special spring to put in the screw in trem hole that totally fixes the problem you raised. You xan get 6 of them for just a few bucks. Hell, ill send you a couple if you have a po box to mail to. I only need 1 of the 4 i have left.
Nice demonstration. You sold me on the guitar. I went ahead and ordered one. My wife is probably going to kill me. Any suggestions for guitar storage?
I like hanging mine on the wall as you can see in my videos.
You're so good at guitar haha
You mentioned the tremolo is a floater. Is it hard to tune like the Floyd rose lock nut floating tremolo? Im interested in a new budget friendly guitar that's easy to tune. Looks like a good enough guitar for an old timer like me that enjoys playing just for fun. Great video my friend.
It's easier than a Floyd Rose. If you don't want it to float, you can just tighten the claw that the springs attach to. That will pull the bridge down to the body and it will be dive only.
@@thebaldshredder Awesome. thanks for the reply and so quick. I thank you. Pulled out my Ibanez today. Hours later about dialed in then time to sell LOL
you must have got a hand picked 1 , mine needed 15 out of 22 frets leveled and polished and that took care of the fret sprout.
Did you have to do any fret polishing or dressing on the frets on this Fesley?! It sounds like it plays really well out of the box.
I didn't do anything except tune it up. Pretty good right out of the box.
Well that's pretty impressive for the price, then! @@thebaldshredder
Richard, I am going to be picking up playing guitar within the next couple of weeks. I am 60 year old retired Professional Golfer. I grew up with the late 70's rock and the Hairbands of the 80's . My question is this. Besides the guitar and the amp. I have no idea what else i need as to different sounds to make. i.e. pedals or computer apps that record the rhythm and lead tracks etc. Are you willing to help me? I am going to you first. Thanks for your content
Start simple, then work your way up. Get a guitar, amp, and cable. I'd probably get a small amp with built in effects like reverb and delay. Boss Katana or any Line 6 amps are good for that. That way you can get different sounds without pedals.
Thank You Richard. I will go back and look at the amp I choose. I am going with the Grote GR Standard S. I picked out the coolmusic 50 watt amp. I just have to back and look what it has on it. Thank You so much for getting back to me. Much appreciated. @@thebaldshredder
Letting your inner Satriani out on the jam.
Very DBZ sounding shreds!
In my opinion, if it had a hard tail and locking tuners it would be worth it. Trems that aren't locking need locking tuners. SOMETHING! Maybe I'm just spoiled lol.
Definitely spoiled
Does this compete with Ibanez S series?
NO, it does not.
The best part of this show is you playing all your own stuff.
Thanks!
I just got one! named it.... FESTER!!
what you said about the trem is exactly whats wrong with the player strat its clacky it moves around in the rout it feels cheap
I see a line spider amp. I really like mine. The haters don't bother me.
This vs the Leo Jaymz?
Leo Jaymz all the way!
Well I Bought My First Fesley. to Add to My Collection of 105 Guitars...,
I like the Kiesel-like "Ring" fret markers. But the name at the 12th fret is a turn-off since they have the name on the headstock.
I have advised them not to put Fesley on the fretboard on future models.
Mine is full of issues, way too high action, a lot of feedback from the pickups and since the box was destroyed on shipping the gig bag was also damaged, already contacted the seller to see what we can do 😢.
Richlite is manufactured and is superior or at least comparable to any other fretboard material.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Put a spring under the bar and it will be a-ok
It's worth 189$ but what about one with a Floyd Rose can they do that it's okay with me if it's just a Floyd Rose special. I'll pay the extra hundred dollars.
The Kick is triggering a Hihat or what..... that Typewriter kick sound is nothing.... tick tick tick
Great look on this one. You sound really zippy on it
At $190 it just doesn't really seem like a good buy compared to the other import brands out there like Leo Jaymz, Firefly, or IVY that are bringing better features such as locking tuners, roasted maple, ball end stainless frets, spoke wheel truss, etc. Without those extra features, that leaves it really competing with entry level guitars from more established brands like Ibanez, Jackson, Squier, Kramer, etc. And, based on your glowing review of the Jackson JS11 I really wonder why anyone should even consider the Fesley.
I love your videos and instrumentals, but as a drummer you gotta get a better kick sound. Let me know if you want some help.
Its $240 Now. 😢😢😢
Sick jam! How do u not have any ego with a head that big? 😂 Dude... Your head is MASSIVE!
No sculpted/recessed neck heel is a deal breaker off the bat. There is no reason to have a fat square block in this day and age.
At least the Leo Jaymes models have that. Plus SS frets on some models.
This will pass me by.
I have advised them to change that on future models. No need for the plate and squared off neck joint. So we'll see.
It seems like the people actually buying these guitars have a significantly different experience with them than the CZcams Guitar gurus.
Yeah I wouldn't buy anything that's that cheap brand new even for a beginner, better to buy something pre-owned. You can find used Ibanez , jacksons or squiers for around that same price. Hell last month I picked up a used prs silversky se for $599, but I ain't no beginner lol
There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.

You sounded like you were trying to talk yourself into liking the guitar and you failed. Lol!!!
You sound like you're trying to win the award for stupid comment of the day and you succeeded! 😅
@@thebaldshredder I was just yanking your chain. You did great and sounded great!
😎👍🎸
@@mkusch2337 dude I was just kidding around too. I'm glad you can take a joke. I can be very sarcastic. Thanks!
@@thebaldshredder Well, keep up the great work, I love your channel! 👍👍👍
It's great but I don't need it
NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
Anyone watching this video I DARE you to buy this guitar, lol. Do it , I dare you. I guarantee you won’t feel the same as all the videos say you will. These are cheap guitars and not well made. Period.
