    The problem is people buy a cheap guitar and cheap amp and it's a rubbish sound. If they buy a decent amp that's half the battle to an awesome sound.
  • @paddlefaster
    The manufacturer must have watched this video. It's $200 now lol.

    When he peeled of the plastic I literally got up and grabbed my silvertone that I've had for about 2 years and realized the plastic film was still on it

    I started learning to play at 5 and my first guitar was called "the Bang Box"! It fell apart and the strings were about 1/4" off the neck. Got it for $10. It was an acoustic. New learners are very lucky today to have access to guitars like this one and to videos to learn how to play! I learned in the 70s.
  • My very first guitar in 1984 was a 'Lero', a Les Paul cheap copy. Paid $99 for it, and it sounded pretty bad, but it did the job for me at the time.
  • I mean it sounds amazing. A truth nobody is ready to accept: All guitars sound like a 2000 $ with the right amp.
  • @dirkgaskey1716
    Bought one after watching this. Beats the hell out of the Bullet Tele I paid $250 for. Set up out of the box was great. Stays in tune amazingly well. The neck, as he points out, is beautiful. My daily player for the six months I’ve owned it.

    I got my first guitar years ago, strictly for the “get’s you girls” part of it. Only thing is, sooner or later, somebody is going to expect you to play it.

    It's like buying a gig bag that comes with a free guitar
  • @landofahhs_1
    I'll tell ya...I purchased one of these at the time of this video...Yes I had to do some very minor fret work and I installed some locking tuners, but honestly on any given day my Gibson LP, PRS, and old '69 Tele sit idle while I play my Indio...it goes with me everywhere and I don't worry about wear or tear. The sound of the Indio makes it a very versatile instrument ready to play about any genre. I love it!

    Don't know why, but I keep coming back to this video. It's just done so well and shows all the items to check, while also pointing out that cheap doesn't mean bad and more expensive doesn't mean better by default. But just all the little extra info like what trem bar could be substituted, using the graphite on the nut, etc. makes this such a complete video, and then the test playing as well with the bonus of a comparison. Thanks.
  • @EricSwanson1
    Ah yes, it's always important to lubricate the nut slot.
  • Longer format/informal video this week! First half is unboxing, teardown, & overall review Jump to 16:50 for audio test and final thoughts! Let me know what you'd like to see me do with this guitar in upcoming videos :)
  • @Sarah-yd8th
    It's so fun to watch... Thank you! And it's super informative!
  • @twoshoes2663
    Wow ! The video was great ! Very thorough! Most definitely loved when you played , I was trying to relax when I seen your video and was almost mesmerizing and it was relaxing. I didn't even realize you changed guitar. Thank you I needed that tip to help me relax.
  • @KBlock-kg6hp
    Him "some of the ones from Fender are worse than this" Fender "goodluck getting anything free from us ever".
  • @WMalven
    Just received mine, a beautiful deep dark red. Everything is just as sweet as the one you tested...same pluses, same negatives. Oh, mine actually did have the whammy bar. Thanks for this review. I am 66 and decided to try my hand a guitar and was looking for a real inexpensive starter. This review convinced me to take a chance and I'm really glad I did.
  • @lou5368

  • @jhors7777
