Hey guys. Today we're taking another look at the new guitar from Fesley. I did my review a few weeks ago and apparently I gave some incorrect information. The guys at Fesley say the bridge is not on backwards, so we're going to test it out to see if that's true! Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe.

It looks like Fesley is taking the right approach regarding your suggestions, and is working to improve their guitars. This is good for everyone. I wish them much success, and commend them for listening and communicating in such a thoughtful manner. 👍

Just received the latest one, built 2/24. There is no gap in the neck pocket and the screws on the bridge are facing the pickups. Also the fret ends ,not one sharp at all. Thanks for doing these videos !

@jrock8233 2 месяца назад

The one you received does it have jumbo frets?

@newmexicosaint 7 месяцев назад

I'm genuinely excited of their interaction with yall. I have seen multiple responses in the comments from Fesley on MULTIPLE YT influencers videos and they seem genuinely sincere about improving their product. I was SO CLOSE to buying one of those LP Fesley's but I needed the jumbo frets and tighter quality control. The LP is a killer looking guitar and I LOVE their "F" logo on it. Great video man!! As always.

@lostreb 6 месяцев назад

First, and foremost, I think the feedback and interaction from Fesley is fantastic!!! Having said that, like I've mentioned several times before, our playing styles are the exact opposite. I am one that prefers the smaller frets (again, polar opposite playing styles and preferences). The thing that is most important in this video to me is this...The interaction between you and Fesley is phenomenal, almost unheard of in today's industry . Thank you. I want to take this opportunity to address one additional thing. You've shared (in videos and comments as well as taking the time to send me a personal E-mail) so much information that has meant so much to me and been so beneficial for me, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the effort you put into your RU-vid Channel and Videos. I hope you have a Most Happy and Blessed New Year, Richard!!! Please keep the great videos coming!!

This is a great update on this Fesley guitar. I really wanted to see it succeed and it looks like they do too! I may give this some time and order one, in hopes that the neck pocket is corrected. The fret size will not change for some time, so it will be a while before I revisit this. Thanks again Richard! Keep on shredding!

@misterscary999 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for clearing all that up - I had a bit of confusion as to which direction to place the bridge on my recent guitar build. I ended up putting it with the screws facing the tailpiece for easier adjustment. I tried to do a google image search to see which way to put it, and I saw both with screws facing the pickup and facing the tailpiece. I really don't think it matters, as you can adjust the string contact point to the same location point regardless of orientation. Interesting to hear their reasoning for smaller frets too - I think I've heard that before as well. Thank you for posting! ⭐the more you know

@rikosborne1212 7 месяцев назад

I ran into the same problem with my Ibanez LP-style guitar with a Tune-O-Matic style bridge. The first time I changed the strings, I wasn't paying attention when I lifted the bridge off to dust under it, so I couldn't remember which way the screws had been facing. I searched for images of my guitar model (the model is apparently discontinued, so I couldn't find an "official" photo), and in the photos I found it was about 50/50 which way the bridge was on. That was no help at all, so I ended up just looking at real LPs on the Gibson site to see how they did it.

@mark5150ty 6 месяцев назад

I'm a 3rd generation luthier and I'd like to say that it doesn't matter which way the screws face it all depends on where the holes were originally drilled in the body. Gibson's original placement was a little off to where you had to flip the screws towards the pickup to get the guitar intonated and it was still a little off, since then their placement of the studs has improved but they have always kept the screws facing that direction. Facing them towards the pickup is considered vintage but it really doesn't matter so long as you have enough room for the saddle to travel for adjustment.

@Angelo-fo8de 7 месяцев назад

Back in the day, Charvel/Jackson , Ibanez , ESP when they spec’d jumbo frets they were indeed HUGE ! Don’t know what happened to the industry.

@12to3Guitars 7 месяцев назад

Totally agree. I used to have an old LTD F model that had the biggest frets I've ever seen in my life. I haven't seen that size on a readily available factory guitar in some time.

@mattgeo1545 11 дней назад

@mikeg6666 7 месяцев назад

Cool deal bro , that's awesome that they're going to ask your input because I like the same style guitars as you and am into metal. So this will definitely help me make a more informed decision when looking for a new budget guitar.✌️🤘

@marlan3rd 7 месяцев назад

Very informative video, it makes more sense to have the screws toward the tail piece, it is easy to work on. I have never understood why Gibson and Epiphone don't do that or why they don't put strap locks on their guitars.

@tweakrr99 7 месяцев назад

Yeah I usually flip them around to whatever direction makes it easiest to access the screws. On some guitars the pickup location and/or tailpiece location make a big difference on the screw accessibility

@ronr2445 7 месяцев назад

I just discovered your channel in your last few videos and your doing well ! My one suggestion as a 30 year guitar tech is you really need to use a quality plug in tuner to set the intonation ....no matter how good you ear is you will only get close...and this is a spec that has to be dead on. But all in all this brand is set to step into a very crowded market in this price range and they need to add stainless frets and locking tuners to do battle with the likes of Firefly and Eart to stay in the game .

@d.j.9961 7 месяцев назад

I got mind. I love mine. Every issue mentioned they have addressed. Nice tight neck pocket. Nothing going between. Bridge should work either way. Beautiful. I can't recommend this enough. I did lower the action but that's my perference. Strangely I like the frets. Intonation was perfect.

@MrBarryWhyte 3 месяца назад

I agree with Fesley with regards to the intonation screws. I’ve always placed my saddles in the Japanese style. Much easier to work with in my opinion.

@davessparetime83 Месяц назад

Just look at the bridge. It's 3 one way and 3 the other way. Same no matter which way it is mounted. Neither is right or wrong. It's what's easier to get to the screws. Yes the string grooves can be deeper for the heavy strings. The pieces can easily be taken out and switched.

@DougHinVA 7 месяцев назад

He is a helluva of a guitar player and a real and to admit he was wrong in public! He admitted his error and remains a truthful person to listen to and to FESLEY! Get in EARLY! " I'm totally wrong about that assumption " and he is a real player to admit it... Get FESLEY and some day they may easily look like early top-level Squiers for value ...

@malibujack 7 месяцев назад

While it's hard to really know what they meant by the 'tone' of the frets, larger frets affect intonation depending on your touch (how light or heavy), and the final shape of the fret when it's dressed could have to do with how rounded it is, or if it has a peak, which does indeed affect the tone slightly.

@mikeg6666 7 месяцев назад

Yeah that's a head scratcher , I'm with you on that. Never heard that before...

@pixieloco 7 месяцев назад

sales pitch. frets size will affect feeling and playability, not tone imo. medium frets are more "roomy" but jumbo frets require less pressure, none is better than the other one. I have both and I like them both, couldn't really choose one over the other one. but I'd say medium frets are more versatile. but it all boils down to your own hands and fingers in the end. besides, "Tone" is the most abstract thing that there is, everybody hears different as their skull's resonance isn't the same. nowadays, "TONE" is the equivalent of "it's got Electrolytes" . 🤷‍♂

@larryjeffryes6168 6 месяцев назад

@timscarrow9151 7 месяцев назад

some tops you have to face the screws the way they don't interfere with the string.I've had gibsons that were both ways.

@bruffx9736 7 месяцев назад

@PikkaBird 6 месяцев назад

All you need to do is look at the sloped side of the saddle. Does it slope towards the rear? Then the intonation point can't be moved back as far as if it was sloping towards the neck. If that is the case you can take the saddle off and flip it, so you keep the right size grooves for the string it was cut for. Some factories don't do anything with the grooves and just keep the little notch that the bridge came with and then you can flip the whole bridge whatever way works for you. I prefer the screws towards the rear for the reasons already mentioned.

@BackWoodsBillyCraftBeerReviews 7 месяцев назад

Interesting this company is interested in making things correctly.. I personally thought the bridge was on backwards as with West Creek Guitars... I have seen a few RU-vidrs trying to tune the guitar intonate it & they had the screws maxed - & could not intonate it. That is until the bridge was turned around... Cheers 🍻🥃🥃🎸🎶

@devinwilliams4038 2 месяца назад

Yeah bridge orientation on TOM bridges doesn’t matter at all. I actually prefer them in the back. It is easier to adjust.

@lvgeorge 2 месяца назад

Still confused about the Bridge. It was correctly placed in the first place, you switched it around, and it played better, but it was not backward at all? Did you switch the bridge back and fix the Out-of-Tune issue another way? Glad the Guitar Company is listening to their customers and players. I'm seriously considering getting this Feasley Guitar over the other budget options on the market. Thanks for the Feasley Reviews!

@pyratoothNL 7 месяцев назад

It seems they are aiming at beginners and not just metal players, so they wanted something for more all round. If you have cheap pickups and the frets mean the tone isn't as bright, you get a muddy clean tone, which is not what you want for someone starting out. That said, as soon as you apply distortion those fret differences go out the window regards tone. In that case, if you are using it for metal, then the feel and playability is more important than the clean tone. If they intend to introduce different models and focus on this one for metal going forward then it's great they are considering more suitable frets. Great for them that they have taken your feedback and are going to use it. Says great things about the company.

@matthewmiller3205 3 месяца назад
