He doesn't look like someone who would play that guitar.Mmmmm, I dunno. Poked around on their site. Phil doesn’t seem like a bad guy. I used to watch his channel a bit. He falls into the ‘regular guy with an opinion’ category as opposed to the ‘expert in the field I should listen to’ one. Nothing wrong with that, but often times category A tries to come off like category B and I didn’t get that vibe from him.
Looked at their other associates. I have zero reason to buy this guitar and not something built by Grover Jackson or FMIC Jackson for the same money, both of whom I trust and like already. The price point and market are already very saturated for this product and I see little chance for much success.
Wish them well and hope they sell a million. I wouldn’t buy one, though.
He does look like someone that can get MS Word to work on an iPad though. I do think some of his criticisms have been a little harsh in the past but I guess we all have different tolerances for what’s acceptable in a new product purchase.He doesn't look like someone who would play that guitar.
That's the first thought I had. But hey, set up a web site, see how many orders you get, start building a few guitars and see how it goes.The price point and market are already very saturated for this product
Why the hate / surprised faces? It's exactly what Phil always says he loves the most, 80s shred guitar.
And the site says it's all made in USA.
I want to know who's building em. Friedman guitars are basically Grover Jackson guitars so I'd be good with that. Either show me a history, pedigree or expertise. Not 1m youtube hits. I know youtube famous is a thing, but it doesnt mean you can produce a good guitar. It means you can produce attractive videos. I'd sooner watch their movie before buying this guitar.That's the first thought I had. But hey, set up a web site, see how many orders you get, start building a few guitars and see how it goes.
Especially with everything going on with the QC, there's no way I'd buy a guitar from a brand new company, and send some company I'd never heard of $1250, without even so much as an endorsement on their website from someone I'd recognize. Not saying that would be enough either, because I'm cautious by nature.
No hate here. Said in my post I hope they sell a million of them.Why the hate / surprised faces? It's exactly what Phil always says he loves the most, 80s shred guitar.

You mean this? The specifications?They don't even tell you WTF the guitar consists of.
