Eart Telecaster (Top Specs/Low Price) 

I thought you said it was a book matched mahogany body? When you showed the back of the guitar at 3-20 it looks like the grain is going horizontally on one side, and vertically on the other. My apologies if I misheard you, or got this wrong. ✌️🇦🇺

@@castleanthrax1833 Agreed, the back of the body almost looks like Mahogany and some kind of figured Maple!

Great Review, thank You Elmo My biggest complaint with cheap kit guitars and sub $400 guitars are the fret installations, poor fret installation really limits the guitar's ultimate potential. Such a shame with these Eart guitars, those SS Fret ends are gorgeous looking.

Thanks Christine! Have a good festive season and a great 2023! :)

@@MrPolevaulter You too my friend thank you xxx

Cheers!

Thank you :)

Thanks!

Depending where you live it's cheaper than $300...

Cheers!

Thanks! I'm not entirely sure, but it varies on my guitars. I like it fairly high actually, but not sure exactly how high it is.

Cheers!

no way a used fender - anything less than custom shop - is as good as these. I have a flawless one and will never play a retail line Fender again

@@gregperkins7723 that's good for you that you received a flawless one, but saying only custom shop guitars are as good as any Eart is just plain foolish. At least keep it realistic and you choosing Eart over a fender doesnt change the fact that fender is a leader in guitars and I doubt Eart will ever be a threat or even a competitor to fender. And I like Eart guitars. Enjoy what you have and whatever inspires the most to keep playing.

Cheers!

Thanks! No plans for such a video, but I do have one in the making that's focused on cheaper amps.

No. In hindsight that might have been interesting. It was easier just to give it to my luthier friend who sorted out the issues.

Just ordered one.

Cool!

How can it be 'amazing' when the key component (the pickups) sound muddy?

​@oldsilverdrew2471 that's a really easy and cheap fix.... especially on a telecaster. You will solder 4 wires all together. I upgraded mine with Tonerider Blues pickups and it cost me $80. The neck is so unbelievably comfortable on this guitar that it's worth upgrading the electronics.

@@oldsilverdrew2471 Body and neck extremely comfortable !

@@JordanAlbert-fu9jz I have Toneriders City Limits on a Strat and I love them. Putting Toneriders is an excellent idea, I'll try. Thanks!

Thanks! I don't know if it is.

Try ebay. That's where I've seen them. ✌️🇦🇺

The same as on regular frets I guess.

Yeah, after fixing the issues they sure are.

I've had crazy money guitars and my EART Tele (like this one) is the best I have ever played too. That neck.

@@gregperkins7723 I know right..My USA PRS and Charvel Pro Mod DK24 are literally collecting dust because I use my Eart's 90% of the time.

@@Stratisfied22 Their 335 is even better :)

@@gregperkins7723 Yeah I made my friend buy the 335 and he's blown away. I also have two Strats and a Les Paul with the Gibson headstock(It's a real LP but better) from Eart and they all play insanely well.

With Zelda.

Yes, one way to save money during the guitar "build" is to reduce the amount of "quality control". It's one less salary to worry about, but it sure sucks when you've bought one that's less than "adequate".

:D

You may be right not to fret. Perhaps if you laid a short piece of lumber over the bad fret and struck it with a rubber mallet, you may get the fret to lower just a bit. I think the stainless frets are pre-cut. This is why the Eart has beautiful rounded ends on the fret. Those frets must have much longer longevity than the nickel steel frets. A quick search found this video on cleaning guitar potentiometers.

@@daniellarson3068 Wow, are links always this long?

Good...I'll buy the one you refuse to buy.

Indeed.

I used to think the same, but after watching many reviews on RU-vid, that doesn't seem to be the case. Often, the people who send out the guitar have no knowledge that it's going to a "RU-vidr", and the company usually understands that if they send out a guitar that is wayyy better than their "usual" work, it gives an unrealistic appearance. This of course, is just a generalisation and just my opinion. Every case is obviously different.

@@castleanthrax1833 These Indonesian or Chinese guitars have problems in keeping their technical declarations. It's not about sending "way better" guitar, it's about sending the product that you advertised. Just that. Recently I was sent a flagship Cort G300 Pro that has sharp fret ends, file marks on the fretboard, it was lacking the electronics cover (!), had a huge black gnarl in the crucial part of the neck, ant when you touched the tremolo then the nut was squealing like a door in an old barn. And this was actually the second G300 I was sent. First one has had misdrilled holes in the neck, so the screws that should mount the neck to the body were all over the place. And there are many more people that were send a semi-product. This is just impossible that both guitars left the factory, unless they have blind people working at QC. And literally every youtube review of that guitar is amazing. I mean that they rely on what their machines can do, but if there is anything wrong, they just send that to the client. And I gave 700$ Cort as example, the level of accuracy at cheapest guitars is even lower, because that is the area where they save money.

As has been my experience with Harley Bentcrap. By the time I upgraded and got a professional setup I could have bought a used Mexican Fender.

​@@adrian_V99 i had mexican fender, maybe the current player version is better that the '90 series i had, but it wasn't perfect definately

Brother, you must be a beginner or something... Most people buying this as a fixer upper/mod project is going to change the pickups anyway, and any monkey with a file could easily recrown and level those frets in an afternoon.

Fair enough 😊

Sand paper and some wood stain. Beautiful. That's what I did on both of my Earts. I hear ya but damn they are good playing instruments
