Fesley 39" LP Electric Guitar Kit: Full Size Solid Body Electric Guitars for Beginners with Humbucker Pickups, Poplar Body, Mahogany Neck,22 Frets,6 String Guitar with Gig Bag,Cable,FLP350,Matte,Black

I recently began my journey to learn to play the guitar. I figured I could buy an entry level guitar and go from there. The classic LP look along with the matte black finish, off-white binding, and red mahogany neck caught my eye. I stumbled on it when it was 30% off, which was a steal. It arrived quickly, well packaged, and without a blemish on it. The bag and accessories included are of good quality. What I wasn’t expecting, was just how well-built this guitar is. Beyond looking great, it surprised me, as well as my friends. It’s highly playable and sounds good. A quick tuning and I was up and running. This is a great option for beginners and established players alike. If you’re toying with taking the leap to learn to play, this is a great option.

OVERALL SUMMARY: The Fesley FLP-350 is a surprisingly well-built instrument. Its standout feature is its weight; it is about a pound lighter than the FLP-900 model, which makes a massive difference in comfort. While it required some work out of the box, it has become a favorite to play. THE BUILD & FINISH: CRAFTSMANSHIP: The quality control on my unit was perfect. I found no flaws in the construction or the beautiful sunburst matte finish. THE NECK: To be honest, the neck felt a bit "cheap" the first time I touched it. However, it really grows on you. After spending time with it, I’ve found it to be very comfortable, and the Purpleheart fingerboard is exceptionally smooth. WEIGHT: Significant weight savings here. Being a full pound lighter than the classic LP-style FLP-900 makes this much easier to play for long periods while standing. PERFORMANCE & SPECS: SETUP: This guitar did require a lot of setup work initially. It didn't play perfectly right out of the box, but once it was properly dialed in, the playability became excellent. PICKUP OUTPUT: I measured the pickups with a multimeter: Bridge Pickup: 8.59k ohms Neck Pickup: 8.73k ohms SOUND: The pickups are well-balanced, with the neck pickup being slightly hotter, which provides a very full, resonant sound. VERDICT: An excellent choice for someone looking for a lightweight, well-crafted guitar, provided you are comfortable doing (or paying for) a full initial setup. Once that is done, it's a fantastic instrument.

In my opinion, as a beginner guitar player, this does the job. It's lightweight and easy to tune. I also love the Les Paul style look at a much easier price point. I had someone who has been playing guitar for nearly 40 years check it out. He helped set it up because I was getting some fret buzzing. After playing around with it for 10 minutes he said it wasn't bad for the amount of money that I paid. Only reason I didn't give it five stars was because of that fret buzzing issue and because the pickups are not spaced out enough. I've accumulated a few scratches on the bridge pickup from strumming. Also the 1/4-in cord it comes with isn't the highest quality. But again, what do you expect for a entry level, cheap electric guitar. It's overall sound just being plugged into an amp is pretty crisp. The volume knobs for each of the pickups has a lot of range which allows you to have a lot of volume settings and change the overall sound of the guitar. Other reviews had said that the guitar came damage had some sort of issues where it wasn't playable at all. Everyone, I've had play this who's experienced said it was very comfortable and played pretty well out of the box and without needing serious set up. I also have a cheap Epiphone Les Paul guitar that feels more solid in your hands but doesn't sound or play as nicely as this one. Overall, I would recommend this if you are a beginner.

After watching a number of video reviews for the Fesley FLP350 I decided to do something I thought I would never do, order a sub $150 guitar from Amazon. I am a gigging musician and all of my guitars get used. I don’t have any guitars hanging on my wall and I don’t have a YouTube channel so no guitar company is going to send me products to review. The Fesley arrived double boxed and packed solidly. Straight out of the box the guitar was set up very well and could be played with no adjustment, though I did change the strings to some 9-42 Super Slinkies and I lowered the action just a bit, to my taste. In full disclosure, the strings that came with the guitar really didn’t do it justice. They went in the trash. I wasn’t expecting a much of a difference, but the new strings completely changed the tone and playability - for the better. The one thing that I found a little odd is that the volume knobs are backwards from every other LP style guitar that I have played. I don’t know if this is an intentional design thing or if someone at the factory made a mistake. To me, it’s not worth sending the guitar back. I got used to the layout pretty quickly. Tuning stability is excellent. The neck is not quite the modern C that I am used to, but it is still a very comfortable neck. Last night I took Fesley to a gig and played it on all three sets of music. I play through a Headrush pedalboard running straight to the front of house. The guitar tone is outstanding. I will admit that the bridge pickup is a bit on the treble side for my taste, but a little EQ dialed this in. You can also blend in a little of the neck pickup to compensate, if you like. That being said, the Fesley cuts through the mix like crazy! The best part of this guitar is that it weighs almost nothing. I’m not 25 years old anymore, and wearing a heavy guitar for 3 hours of music is simply not something I want to deal with nowadays. So if you are one of those people like me who agonize over buying new instruments, and pour over all of the reviews and videos, do yourself a favor and just buy this guitar. While researching this guitar saw a lot of comments that started or ended with: “…for the price…”. I’m telling you that for ANY price this is a fine guitar and will suit any musician, beginning or pro. I would give this review 10 stars if that was possible. I would like to try the super strat model that Fesley sells as well, but that will have to wait a while until it’s safe to sneak another new guitar past the guard (my wife). 😂

arrived a little late, a few extra days. right out of the wrapper it was honestly playable with just a simple tuning. after taking time to replace the strings with my favorite weight & brand and do a proper setup, it is actually great playing. feels very nice in hand, pickups are pretty good, sound is way better than i expected for the cost. the instrument is really very solid for such a fair price. overall much better out of the box quality experience than my recent fender purchase by a wide margin. highly recommend for a starter or travel instrument.

I have owned many guitars in the last 50 years and have paid much more for much less. I bought a used LP model and I could not see any evidence of prior use. The frets are a little rough on the ends but they send you a little sanding block to fix that the way the owner wants it and I’m sure this cuts the manufacture time considerably. This is a brilliant move on Fesleys part and I feel certain that it was a working guitar player that designed this beginners package. The playability was excellent as well as a note from the inspector recording the measurements on the first and sixth strings at the first and twelfth frets. No additional set up was required, the guitar stayed in tune after the first tuning and the components seem superior to all other inexpensive guitars I have purchased. I almost ordered another one immediately after playing the one I received. Whoever built this guitar took a lot of pride in their craft. Yes, I would and probably will buy another one. No I do not work for Fesley and this review is my honest opinion

I just received my Fesley today and thought I’d write a review. I’ve owned many electric guitars over the years, some high end and some lower end. Unfortunately, I’m on a very tight budget these days, and no longer have any of those guitars or a high budget threshold. After watching numerous video reviews of this Fesley, I decided to pull the trigger and get myself one as an early birthday present. Out of the box, the guitar was in pristine condition. Great build quality, good action and no fret sprout. The neck profile is very comfortable in my hand. The only complaint I have is with the pickups and wiring. The pickups are not very responsive and sound very “frail.” In other words, they lack that “umph” I would expect from double coil pickups on this type of guitar. When I select the middle and neck pickup, the volume does not swell from low to high, it just cuts on and off. This is clearly an issue with the caps and pots. Overall, I’d say I like this guitar, but I’m not thrilled with it. It will do as an alternate guitar to my main one, but I definitely would not gig with it. Perhaps with a string change and a good setup, this guitar will grow on me, but I don’t consider it a “keeper” out of the box.

Great guitar for 135,00 its stupid cheap and really nice! If you want an esp 1000 buy this and put actives and locking tuners on it and save your money! Great build no flaws, no issues, no high frets, no jumpy tuners, no squeely pickups, nothing to whine about and sounds great for metal and rock. Fretboard looks like ebony and neck is a d shape but not chunky, its not an ibanez wizard neck or a jackson thin neck but not a 50s basball bat either nice feel satin finished and not black its mahogany color on rear. Pickups are ceramic and kinda hot so nice crunch and it will chug well in d,c or b standard tuning. Medium jumbo frets NOT jumbo as advertised but still nice larger frets. Was setup well out the box, other than lowering the bridge some for lower action its setup very well, neck had the perfect amount of relief. Beginners buy this guitar its great for newbies for sure, better than most firefly or other sub 180.00 china brands ive felt in person. leo jaymz is the only other cheapo ive bought I would recommend to anyone beginner to experienced to buy for the money. Ive bought , modded and worked on over 200+ guitars this is a winner and a keeper! Maybe I got a winner but most reviews ive seen are all positive.

Dec 1 2024 Unboxed it today and tuned it up...stock strings kaka poo poo. Changed them and much improvement. I have done nothing for set up, other than strings . I have been lusting the Esp ltd ec-1000 for years but not willing to part with the cash. So this is my alternative at $1200 less cash. Now it does not compare in quality, however, was not expecting it to. However, this guitar is way over it's bang for the buck. Neck is smooth and comfortable, tuners are ok. Flawless finish and very minimal flaws on fret board. No fret sprout, neck is straight as an arrow. IMO I found pickups a tad muddy with heavy distortion. (Not a deal breaker). It sings sweetly with the same setting lead playing. Like the Esp. it has a body contour making it very comforable...no digging into the rib cage as LP tend to do to me. Guitar looks really sweet, and headstock is cool too...classy! With a guitar in this price range, if it comes with a gig bag they are usually pretty crappy and thin. The included gig bag is actually very nice and offers some protection Update a review later when I discover how it like to be played Dec 4 2024 Second Impression....WOW WOW! Let out the truss rod about a 1/4 turn and lowered the bridge about a 1/2 turn ( low E) and the action is so buttery smooth. Not fet buzz to be found...ooo I like! Fesley reached out with a customer service follow up email ( unheard of) to see how I am liking it and for suggestions. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside..LOL. Now I feel bad that I poo pooed on their strings (comment). But then most guitars over the years get new strings after purchase (personal preference) For a $205 Canadian the pickups are good -+. Are they great, in my humble opinion...nope. But hey ONLY $205. How does this thing get built for that?? Not complaining... Update...tuners are growing on me and I like them...TTYL

Muy buen producto. Para su funcionamiento óptimo, decidí cambiar cableado por uno mejor y así evitar ruidos en la distorsión de alta ganancia. Excelente!

The quality is really great for the price of this guitar. The build is really well done. Came with a factory set up right out of the box. Needed to be tuned back up but wasn't far off. The intonation was right on. The action hight was not bad for a beginner. No fret buzz or dead frets. There were a couple of frets with light fret bite. A little polishing and it's gone. All in all one of the best starter/intermediate guitars I've come across. The price can not be beat. Sounds great. You won't be disappointed.

Excelente guitarra

I bought this guitar because I love music in general but more specifically metal and wanted to learn an instrument. I am therefore a total newbie in the world of electric guitar playing. I was going to buy cheap in case I wouldn't keep at it. I still wanted to buy the best I could find at a decent price range. The other brands I was looking at with similar configuration were Donner and Leo Jaymz. Why did I choose this one ? Reviews. I checked as many reviews as I could from experienced guitarists and this model came on top consistently. Some reviewers mentioned the company stood behind their products and I can vouch for that as they contacted me not long after the purchase to ask me how my purchase went and how I liked the guitar. Who does that anymore ? Fesley did. What is more surprising is that they even do it for entry level guitars like this one. So how is the guitar ? To me it looks awesome. It feels good too. It was fairly easy to tune for a newbie and I think it sounds awesome in a Fender Champion II 25 amplifier. It should sound better as I learn to play of course. It comes with just about everything a newbie needs to start playing except the amplifier. It has a decent cable for hookup, a strap, 3 picks, a sanding block (not sure what it does) and a case that looks very nice with quality fabric and just enough padding to protect it when it is shipped. The guitar is relatively light and looks so much better in person than what can be seen online. If there is one thing that they could make better at this price point it's the instruction manual which is just about useless for a newbie. They talk about adjusting the truss rod and changing the strings ! No mention as to why there are 2 volume controls or what the 3 way switch does. Remember this is a guitar aimed at beginners. Give us useful information please. Sure I managed to learn a few things about this particular model online but honestly the manual is abysmal and should be promptly revised. I can't complain too much as this seems to be a trend now. The manual for my Fender amplifier is not much better. Another thing of note for some: Get a variety pack of Dunlop picks to try out while you learn. The Fesley picks provided are OK but on the very stiff side. If you've got this far, ignore my last observation about the manual and get this guitar if you are a beginner that wants to learn on something that is of very decent quality and looks absolutely stunning. I think I got a lot of bang for the buck here (it was on special at $200 CAD)
