I was watching Shawn, or Sean from Scar my guitar & he mentioned a Bullfighter guitar from amazon & how impressed he was with it so he ordered another body style Bullfighter. I went looking for that guitar & couldn't find it however, a les Paul style single cut popped up made by Bullstar, it their Bullfighter SB series LP style guitar & it cost $150.00 shipped & delivered to my door! No fret sprout, heck even the majority of the strings were intonated. 4 of the 6! The A & D string was out just slightly. Now I want to check out their other models. Also, after typing in "Bullfighter guitars" in Amazon's search bar, many of the guitars did not mention the maker on the 1st page but, after clicking onto them, then they would mention the brand. I am impressed with my Bullfighter SB series LP style guitar!
@@TurtlesStudios I agree that it is possible to turn a budget guitar into something better, but nothing like a Music Man, Gibson, or quality American fender. Not that money is a factor on how good something is, but Ive never owned a guitar under $1000 that feels like a quality, professional instrument.
I did a slotted bridge recently on my old Yamaha. I wonder if in this case bridge pins have any effect since the string balls are sitting on wood no matter what 🤔
I've been playing for 35 years Tried one last year and bougth it ... I liked the melloy sound for playing jazz chords. I'ts perfect for playing on the couch wihtout being to loud. 👍
The pedal itself is just an audio interface, so it just gets your signal in and out of a computer or device. Bias FX sounds great though! All my sounds use it unless otherwise specified
To get this to play audio into your phone you'd need an audio interface for your guitar. You can get pretty cheap ones like this: a.co/d/32IVZoC If you're using an audio interface and an iOS device, you could also use an app like bias fx and totally skip the headphone amp all together
I bought the same model and color 'used excellent' from GC a couple years ago for $125. It came in new, unplayed condition. Just needed the usual setup and details. I love this guitar and like you, I play mine more all the time. Interestingly I had the same dead 13th fret. All it needed was a light tap with a mallet to fully seat the tang. Try that before you go to filing. I also have a couple older humbucker Epi Specials. These guitars are all great fun and reliable and versatile enough to gig with once you get the bugs worked out, and a great platform for learning how to adjust, maintain and customize or modify.
@@TurtlesStudios Always try that first. Use a soft plastic mallet or just put a small softwood block on the fret and tap it sharply. One blow usually does the trick. Don't do it more than a couple times or it might loosen more. If this doesn't work then file it. But often a tap or two to fully seat that fret is all you need.
I got a beat up 2002 Epi LP Special with humbuckers at Salvation Army for $20. It was just missing the bridge (2 piece, heel and saddle) so I just got a $15 roller bridge set on Amazon and it was good to go. A year later, I stripped the chipped factory paint job, repainted it and installed humbucker size P90s in it. Man it's a great sounding/playing instrument. I probably wouldn't buy the one you have though because I don't like the 1 piece wrap around bridge.
First of all, nice job on that build, what's the color you used on it and very nice demo and explanation on what you did too it. Enjoy and have fun with it.
@@TurtlesStudios Yes but they look really horrible in that kind of guitar. They are better suited for Gibson style guitars. Not Tele. Anyway it's your guitar. You can do what you want.
@@TurtlesStudios I can't find them... I check videos and shorts on your channel. Shorts are messy by itself on youtube, and by picture without describing that's take only guess is that right video or no.
I have done exactly this, and it also worked in improving the sustain and volume. In particular of the top "E" string, in my case. I have a Chinese built Fender Strat.
