Really like the cut of its jib if I may mix archaic metaphors. Looking forward to the full review. Loved the look of apprehension as you discovered broken neck screws. Gutsy unboxing, sir. Carry on!
Love that Suparic! I'm a lefty and have 3 IYVs all with the tag Harley Benton. 2 teles and a gold top LP. The LP needs some work, but overall, I'm happy with the build quality. Looking forward to the full demo and review of this Suparic. Interesting video, OGN!
On Amazon I took a chance on a couple of IYV's that were "temporarily out of stock" and ordered them anyway- an ISMR 200 ordered in late August, and an IRK 300 semi hollow ordered a couple of weeks ago. Both came within this last week and are great! On their webpage it says "all guitars are made punctually by CNC machine with computer programming"- I thought 'punctually' made was odd, but now I think that they just make whatever order comes in, instead of doing batches! Cray Cray! Thanks for sharing your experience (and address ), and looking forward to seeing the full review!
I already have a friend looking into having a 12-string version built. By all means, feel free to use mine as a template to order one of your own. And send photos if you do!
I guess the neck mounted properly. Looking forward to a shakedown review, but it looks like the bee's niece. These asian custom builds and knockoffs are really swinging for the fence.
Yes indeed, plays great. Unfortunate that the neck was so tight in it's pocket that it caused that chipping to the finish; but it's only cosmetic, after all.
my first impression is it looks great, sounds a little trebly but maybe that is your amp or recording settings and appears to play well. I'm eager to hear about the bolt on variation
Pretty neat to work with IYV and get a custome guitar in only 3 weeks or so from Viet Nam. Was the price in your opinion reasonable for the quality you got.
I’ve been trying to do a custom order from IYV guitars but it has been like pulling teeth 🤦🏻♂️ I’m not sure if it’s the language barrier or what but when I ask a question it’s like they are answering a totally different question 🫤did they send you the draft of your order before you paid ? Please advise me if you can I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong 🤨
I didn't think it would stay in tune, weird neck joint kinda scared me, I think I would go with a Chinese builder, if I ever have one built, seems IYV needs a bit more experience,before I will order from them,green guitars look cheap for some reason anyway,I have a really nice lizard burst firefly LP, very high quality build, and it still looks like a toy avacado, my green IYV LP is slightly better looking,and I believe that it was the( guitar) , that started all the green guitar love again, back when I ordered the emerald green IYV LP, no body wanted a green LP, but as word got out, about how good they were, suddenly everyone started making green guitars, now you see them everywhere,heck I only paid $140 for it on Amazon way back when they first came out,but I was embarrassed to play out with it, back then,not now, I also have the ocean blue IYV LP, jazz box thin line, Mustang and the red Tele with P90s, I really like all the IYVs, but they need more practice building custom orders,many people are complaining about special ordered guitars,in one of my Facebook groups,they did fair job on this build,could be better.
I have guitars for every sound I could need; but humbuckers are the most versatile (especially if you wire them to split), and they're virtually noiseless. I was specifically looking for a guitar to gig with for my cover band, so it just made sense.
