  • Enjoying This Very Much
Color: 3-Color Sunburst Style: Guitars
Out of the box, please get the .100 strings by Fender (if you want rounds) or the 95's from La Bella (if you want flats). I mounted the Fender set and the guitar intonates perfectly. The strings this is delivered with are .084's and the low E will wiggle too much for its own good. This guitar features much larger strings than a standard six-string guitar (as you know) but it still sports regular vintage Fender tuning machines. This is acceptable, but you'll find the tuner thumbscrews are a little small for the force needed and they're very close to each other. Fat fingered players take note. The vintage tuners are stressed with the larger strings. Mine broke a gear almost immediately when I put the new strings on. Click - slack - click - slack - broken. I contacted Fender and all they wanted was my receipt and they sent me a whole new set of tuning machines (very generous!), but I also had purchased some Gotoh tuners which I'll try soon. BTW if you have a broken gear, try what I did - get a slotted head screwdriver and put it in the groove and turn the tuning peg while turning the thumbscrew and you can get past the broken gears and continue - as long as the "in tune" position has intact gears you should be okay; it will tune to pitch and stay that way. All this for a brand new instrument? Is it worth the trouble? Oh yea. This guitar is a real pleasure. She's a stallion in a barn full of regular, boring old guitar donkeys. If you're a guitar player looking to lay down some bass lines, look no further. You now have a new hobby! What fun it is to get grooving on those low strings! When set up well, this guitar is a blast to play! ... show more

  • A great, unique guitar!
Color: Black Style: Guitars
Amazing and beautiful instrument! I remember going with friends to a shop back in the 90s and trying out an older Fender model, falling in love with it, and knowing that I would probably never be able to afford to own one. This is just as great as I remembered that one, and a fraction of the price! Such fun to play and experiment with what it's unique sound profile can do. Absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to step slightly outside the box. ... show more

  • ALMOST Perfect!
Color: Black Style: Guitars
New 2022 model. I love everything about this instrument - with one exception (more later). I've never played a bass with single-coil pickups. As a result, it doesn't have the deep P-Bass tones, but it sounds so springy, defined, and precise. I've always avoided instruments with "extra" strings. This is different. This is a bass and a guitar at the same time. It's like every 6-string guitar that's ever been, but one full octave lower, making it an actual bass. It's the same 4 string bass as all the others, but adds the 2 "missing" strings on the high end of a guitar. It has 3 single-coil pickups that can be switched into any configuration you can dream up. It has a cool bass-cut option that's fun to experiment with, and a whammy bar (on a bass!). I love that you can play full guitar chords on it. If fact, almost anything you can do on a guitar you can do here too, with a lot of pressure! It would be perfect, BUT... the intonation problem is real. The bridge, in my opinion, is not aligned to the instrument properly. It was installed straight across, perpendicular to the strings, when it should have been angled slightly, providing a slightly longer scale length on the low side. This would allow for proper intonation of both the low-E and the A strings (especially with lighter, lower-gauge strings). My solution was to order a wider aftermarket bridge ($100+, but easy enough that ANYONE can do it) designed specifically to fix this issue by allowing more room for adjusting the saddles. It's a perfect fix, but it's also a significant (and expensive) modification to have to do to a new instrument. It's great now, but it should have been this good out of the box. ... show more

  • get fatter strings when you order one.
Color: 3-Color Sunburst Style: Guitars
Not for beginners. Be prepared to do some fixing up. The strings have to be replaced immediately with a larger size set. The vintage tuners buckle under the pressure of the larger strings, but you have to do this or the low E will buzz like crazy. Other than the strings and tuners this thing is awesome. It is not a guitar and it is not a bass, but it's pretty fun to play around with. I hope one day they make a more modern version that is more practical and built to be playable out of the box. ... show more
