ARE TEMU GUITARS ANY GOOD? EVERYTHING Is %50 Off With My Coupon Code So Let's Find Out! 

Sean, I got the Musiker Tele version. Same finish, pick guard, knobs, everything. It had the same build quality as your Strat. After spending an hour or so setting it up, no problems. Plays great. I'm bribing my son with it. Once he can play his first song, it's his.

Of all the things I've learned from watching your videos, the whole "feeler gauge + rubber bands" trick on cutting the nut is by far the most useful ... I used to sweat nut cutting and after that trick I could cut a nut blind-folded and half drunk and still do a good job (not that I would, but you know what I mean :) ).

I always love them calling those nut slot files. Those are actually acetylene torch tip cleaners. I got a box full of those from my days as a mechanic. Good video, Sean.

Has a unique sound to it. I don't hear the bigness, but that's just me. I do appreciate seeing and hearing you demo all of the tools. Rock On! Bam!

You can call me out! I was the mystery Instagram poster, folks. I’m cool with being wrong about something lol. None of us knows everything. I was informed by another RU-vidr, shall we say. You’re correct that the RU-vidr I got the info from did not distinguish between finished and unfinished wood. He has said many times that oil does not add moisture and only polishes the surface. He has said that the only way to add moisture to a neck is to humidify the guitar, preferably in the case or with a room humidifier. It makes a lot of sense that Sean said that logic only applies to a neck that’s 100% finished. It makes sense that oil will absorb into a dry unfinished neck because they are still liquids according to science. My question is will oil alone be enough to really help a neck that’s dry enough to be cracking and bending beyond the fretboard itself? I would imagine humidification would still help in the case of a really, really dry neck, even if you do condition the fretboard. After all, the fretboard is a veneer of sorts on top of the rest of the neck. Maybe that’s what this other RU-vidr has meant when he says oil only helps on the surface- meaning just moisturizing the fretboard par where oiling a dry fretboard won’t help humidify the rest of the entire neck if it’s really dry beyond the fretboard itself and leading to bending/cracking? That actually makes sense the more I think about it. Maybe you and this other RU-vidr are referring to two different aspects of dry wood and how to resolve two different issues? That would make both of you correct, actually. Help!! So confusing!! 😂😂😂

I'm in Australia and most people don't think they can do a string change or a fret polish or set up the action and notation I try to show people and if you have a fret ruler you can get your neck very straight and even put a little relief in the neck I learnt this all by watching on the internet how to that's so great what you are doing and helping people this is how respect starts thank you

Here we go! Just recently ordered another chibson, a greeny copy and im hoping its just as amazing as my other one thats a slash model

OK…so I went back to TEMU. 🙄Picked a strat copy listed on sale for $62.00. Great, it says pick a color to put in your cart….BAM the price goes to $130.00 in your cart. Forget it.

The cut on the fretboard is pretty nice

Wow you are right cant believe the sound that came out of that guitar. Amazing

Always great content on this channel 🤘

That was a fun and informative video Sean. Never thought of using torch tip cleaners as a nut file. I use them on funky, dirty carburetors during a overhaul. See ya on the live stream.

Way to model that guitar, Cathy! Work it! 💁🏼‍♀️😂❤

All that dust, its polish residue. It’s used to polish the guitar at various stages after all wet sanding is complete. It does not affect tone; however, it should be blown out using compressed air, a rag, a vacuum and maybe some naphtha or similar. This polishing residue is used on the larger diameter circular wheel that is generally 100% cotton. Each polishing compound has various levels of very fine grit. If you don’t have the polish compound, you run a chance of burning your finish coat. You’ll burn the finish coat to wood in a second or less. The only thing to do after a burn though, wet sand and re-spray. Not as bad if your using Urethane, if your using lacquer, you have another 30 days of hang time, allowing the lacquer to set so you can final buff. Yes, you can do it sooner, 30 days is a rule of thumb. Yes, it’s a < $100 dollar guitar, but, it would take < 3:00 minutes to clean that mess out. 😊

You're right! The bridge pickup almost sounds like a P90 even giving credits to a humbucker

Thanks to you I got a Radient Blue for 31.xx shipped, when you broke yours down I seen the no route body I been looking for to build a dual p90 Strat! Thanks Sean!!!!

I was thinking about one of those set up kits for .99 cents lol

Looking forward to the pickup install for the acoustic! Great video Sean!

this is my new favorite guitar channel

Tight

Ah. Dunno I've heard lots of negative stuff about Temu. You made that cheap guitar sound great though....knowing how to do a proper setup makes all the difference....$89 guitar with a $200 setup and volia! Instant decent guitar!!.great job once again! Cheers!

For under 100 dollars shipped to you, Its pretty nice actually. First time viewer, very well done!

I've purchased a couple of dolamo effects pedals from temu. Completely satisfied

Amazing sound from that little guitar!

Hey Shawn I want the guitar you fixed for the bald schedder

I hope you have a good Halloween special planned for us.

I have found that the plastic neck plate washer/gasket is a good idea with Paulowania bodies as without it the neck plate crushes into the body easily when tightening up the screws...I've come back with epoxy to fill a couple of them...

My wife got me a little guitar cleaning kit and it came with that rectangular fret polisher/fret cleaner and shit for the life of me I couldn’t find a video telling me WTH it was for , Hell you get a thumbs up just for that let alone all the other cool stuff you should, really cool 😎 thanks again brother 😊

Nice job you did with setting that "strat". Yet, when it comes to "a bang for your buck", nowadays I would recommend choosing between two sources: Indonesia-made Squiers ("approved" by Fender) and the Harley Benton (source based at Thomann) that delivers good "clones" of many brand-name models at a fraction of the price(s).

Thanks man for the temu tip I am installing their app right now and go inside and browse see what i can find. And I might add this is an excellent video that you made showing us how to properly prep set a guitar. Thank you.😊

You are the only I found that knows what that fret polisher and conditioner was Thank You.

Oh Hell yeah! New Video,thanks Brutha!

Where is your follow up video? I really want to see how the practice amp worked.

Love your knowledgeable info Sean 👍 Thanks brother.

Turned out better than the Harley Benton nightmare I'm about to deal with. Bought this garbage around 4 years ago to learn with, but it discouraged me so bad that its been hanging on my wall since. Only recently found a guy in my area that may be able to help me out with it, so I can maybe learn something finally. The neck looks a bit like a banana, but the nut was cut too deep also. The frets are sharp as crap and unlevel all over, and the output jack is loose to the point the plug wiggles around in it. I could go on. Only paid around 130 for it to the door, but it'll probably cost me way more than that to fix it. If it had come from the States, I'd have just sent it back. Anyway, keep doing what you do.

Love your video and guidance in setting up a guitar! One thing I wondered, why not add some shielding to the pickup holes and switch holes while you have it apart? Thanks so much for the video!

I bought the MusiKer Telecaster sunburst and did the same thing you did with the same kit. Mounted with 5 strings Keith style. Surprising Stones tone!!!!! Thanks, Shaun.

Love your content, Sean! Keep on keeping on! Oooh, giggity!!!

Finally, someone else who does this like me…I experiment on my cheap guitars

I love the surprised look in your face the first time you played it plugged in. Sounds pretty good. Makes sense, tho, since most cheaper guitars are made in China. Get video, thanks, Sean!

Love the videos brother!! I have an Ibanez that needs a new neck and can't seem to find what I want. Do you think you could fix mine or build me a new one? If not, maybe you could recommend a website for me to possibly get a new neck for it.

I used edible mineral oil for putting on cutting boards and wooden kitchen utensils on my fretboard, and I have never seen a product work so well on a rosewood fretboard. It does not leave it so oily feeling like lemon oil, which is just mineral oil, but it seems heavier than what I used. It worked out so well on a rosewood fretboard.

Nice! Temu has the Dlaso brand as well, are those worth a darn? Definitely going to be watching more of your videos and I don't just subscribe to anyone, you make great content and explain very well! I have been wondering about that setup kit as well! Thanks again!

Looking good brother. Nice to see everything low cost is not trash. I've found over the last few years that these companies aren't doing too bad and the good thing with Temu is so far they seem to get you what you paid for in a decent time frame and make sure it actually gets there. All the best man 👍✌😎

I like your whole approach, you have earned another subscription. Thanks brother !

Thank you Sean! You have made me a beliver. I'm setting up my guitar workshop.

Wow! That was science folks and art. Man have I got a lot to learn. I will have to watch that again and take notes cause I'm a bit of a dummy. But we all have something to learn don't we. Beautiful job Mr Scarred. That guitar sounded so good after your T.L.C. Rock on! Bye for now. P.S. I'm sending all my guitars to you. No you're very busy I'm sure but I will keep learning. Made some adj's recently and didn't do too bad for a beginner. Keep rockin the channel Sean and thanks.

Sean on another video can you explain how you level the neck with the saddle/bridge. Appreciate your videos.

Love the videos man, and the humor hahah! keep on rocking!

I was just looking at those wireless guitar things I seen a guy on a video use a adapter he made to go from quarter inch to XLR and used it as a wireless mic too lol... I have an original line six relay so I was getting these for my wife's base in my pastor's guitar but I haven't ordered them yet so can't wait to see what they do

Once you used conditioner on the neck.. it looked super sweet.. funny just cleaned up the LesPaul today

I picked up a copy of 59 les paul with p-90's its is amassing and It came to my door on the cheap. I have not as much as had too replace the strings! Owned it 2 or more months now ! I say go for it mine is best purchase I have made in years!

Dude you always do such great work. You can make ANY guitar decent. Skills.

guitar sounds killer,wouldnt change nothing other than maybe the tuners

Luv yr chnl Sean, been checking out regularly. The Temu video was cool (budget?) Well all Chinese apps & online stores are banned here in India. But it was cool to hv u talk abt it. Rock on bud & keep it up

That strat copy is nicer than my first guitar I had back in 1979. I had a Hohner Strat which cost me $129 back then. Today, that would be $546.69. I had to save for it over 2 months for that back then working at the music store I bought it from. I was a sophomore in high school. Back then, beginner guitars wore horrible. Luckily I worked at a music store part time and my boss's husband was a guitar tech. He setup my crappy Hohner for free. Back then, you'd have to get a name brand guitar to get a good one. They cost around $1,000. That's like $4,200+ today.

Nice sunburst finish on that "Strat". Good-looking guitar. Amazing what can be done these days, at what would have been an impossible price, back when I started playing. My first guitar was a Kay, which would count as sub-junk today.

Sunburst my favorite!😊

Earned a sub.. first video of yours I have seen. 👍🏼🎸

Cool, thanks. I appreciate the honesty

Hi Shaw! really like this videos. Question, I want to start to make my own guitar, I have a some wood crafting exp, however I would like to start with the body and neck pre made. I can't find in TEMU. What site, platform do you advise to buy this items cheap for a starter?

Great videos. Keep up the work 😊

Those scarred necks look great

I got that same wireless setup a few weeks back and like it. I have no experience with any of them, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it works and didn''t cost anything. Wife got me 5 pedals from there too and played with them a little as well. All were basically free because she plays games that give her credits on Temu. They work pretty good.

thank you very much !

Awesome sounding guitar!! All i need to get back to playing electric.

That sounds just like my Silvertone tri-burst after I set it up. It is made out of plywood and I don’t know what it is,, but after getting it right it was like that, big strong sound. 9.5 in radius, but polishing the neck, it was dry and clean the frets and It sounds good. People cuss plywood bodies, but this one is loud unplugged and hooked up to my little Peavey Rage practice, it can buzz your eardrums. That is a handy maintenance kit. Really good to keep in your gig bag or case.

💯💪👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 that was a pretty cool video Sean, now I’m going to have to go surfing on Temu,,

I like your show I’m also a bald shredder subscriber

Great vid. I'm in Orlando and need info on those necks. Thanks Sean

Those wireless transmitters are pretty good,I bought the same ones,I like them

Guess i'll try temu out. Just ordered a strat body, loaded pickguard and rear tremolo cover (i've already got a strat neck and bridge) all for about 40 bucks with this code and still got free shipping as well. may have me a nice budget strat to play on if everything fits lol

Just found your site and I’m sure glad I did. 👍👍

I've got an American Strat and that sounds real good with a little tweaking that came with the guitar.

I also bought guitarstuff from TEMU and i'm very pleased to see those things work,they were strapp locks for the guitarbelt,and man they won't ever fly off again!!! Very good stuff they sell!! Till next time guys!!

Another great video Sean!

Nice review, good presentation and personality. Thanks

Man I'm a drummer so I really dk, but it sounds awesome to me. So was it worth it? It's worth getting a cheap one & fixing it easily yourself? Def need to know, thanks

Was that a full size guitar? It looks smaller than normal in the video.

Because you were honest enough to delete their email and pass on the coupon, i subscribed

Just a couple of questions The fact that the Temu guitar had strings on it when you first took it out from all of the boxes ( and those strings were already cut to length) When you went through all of the other stuff that they sent you. You commented about the guitar strings that they sent to you and from memory you said that you didn't think that they would be very good Then you removed the strings to do some adjustments. You then obviously put some new guitar strings on the guitar ( as you had to cut them to size). I was curious whether these were the strings that you said that you thought would not be very good Or were they other strings? Also the little black amp that you said that you were most curious about and you said that you couldn't wait to hear what it sounded like. However, when you plugged the guitar into an amp you never actually showed which amp you were using. I assume that you have now tried the amp. Was that any good or not?

LOL...opening the box with a Bowie knife...you are da man! (I do the same thing) 🙂

i really liked this video, and it too was first time watching your videos, easy to understand./

My maple neck gets totally polished every couple string changes with NU FINISH car polish. Best looking and playing cheap neck ever.

wish i had those skills nice job 👍👍🎶🎶

I have same sort of stick. But it's for strings cleaning.

Does the little plastic amp sound like a transistor radio from the 60s.

Great job with that guitar bro so sweet

Seeing this made me remember I have a Martin strat I could use that toolkit on. I think I might. I need a new nut on it before anything though. The low and high E's are cracked. It sounded better than my Fender strat did even before I sold it, even with a cracked nut.

All I can say is wow, good video Sean

I have yet to get something from Temu and they have been sending me Emails and Tests several times a day. Not a big strat fan but if you want a good starter guitar the price is right and with a decent setup you can actually get a good player. I loved the look and color of the fret board on that strat. Did they say what type of wood it is supposed to be?

That mystery device is a string cleaner and lubricator not a fret board conditioner

That sounds amazing what about the Bass Guitars can you do a video on that

The nut files have been around for years, as OXY Acetylene welder tip cleaners. Do a price comp with a welding supply and you may save a few bucks.

instead of filing right away, you could first hammer that fret down a little to make sure it wasn't just loose and high and needed to be tapped back in and glued a little better.

Howdy from Billings Montana...Coool its almost like you got a Musiker Endorsement...Your Vids Crack Meeee UP Sometimes!!!!! LoloL

I got a tele from them and it is decent . Came almost in perfect tune and played like it was professionally set up and sounded almost identical to my MIM Tele . So I ordered a Strat . Strat was okay but not up to the Tele as far as sound it was lacking until I upgraded the hardware

Hi Sean!👋 God bless ya brother! It's so refreshing to see 👀 an honest everyday guy doing an honest review and opinion video! FINALLY! A review channel guy that knows what he's doing but is NOT A "GUITAR DOUCHE" making a video that's not about the gear, as much as about how "great" he is! You absolutely have a loyal new subscriber here my friend! God bless and take care...

Damm that was fast shipping 😂😂. Good video buddy. Take care 👍✌️💯🎸🎸

Love your channel!
