Product information
(B-Stock) Fazley FTL218SB Electric Guitar (Sunburst)
General
Iconic bite and twang wrapped up in a deluxe finish: the Fazley FTL218 TE-style electric guitar has been built to provide any beginner with a style-packed study partner, or more advanced guitarists with a solid back-up. The FTL218 comes fully equipped with the renowned brightness and presence of a lipstick-single-coil at the neck and the gritty warmth of a slanted open single-coil at the bridge.
The FTL218 Electric Guitar
The body of the FTL218 has been made from basswood, which is not only lightweight and a touch easier on your back, but ensures a neutral, light, balanced, and transparent foundation sound, while the bolt-on maple neck adds a touch of bite, and the blackwood fretboard rounds everything off with just the right amount of warmth. Built for comfort as well as sound, this style-packed model is great for getting to grips with your first chords and scales.

sorted byIf you buy this guitar then you'll be constantly fighting to keep it in tune, it'll sound terrible, hard to play, fret imperfections, poor setup... And it's B stock so who knows what else is wrong with it. So say you buy this and then decide you like guitar and want to upgrade? It's just a waste. No resale value either if you decide guitar isn't for you, unlike if you buy a nicer guitar to learn on. Cold!
....but having been anti cheapo for a long time i have recently thought again after taking a punt on a 'artist' off set guitar ...a customer return ...for a £100 ....best 100 quid i ever spent . had to do a bit of work..one pickup would'nt height adjust so had to sort that...had to file some sharp fret edges down ..but now it's a real favourite of mine . i even went on to buy another one of theirs .
anyway ..some of the fazleys a bit more up the chain have a good rep
this one for example
bax-shop.co.uk/ele…bag
also i believe fazelys are only sold by bax...think they are their own in house brand
if you can go a bit more and want a tele...you wont go wrong with one of these
bax-shop.co.uk/ele…-mn (edited)
I've got a lot of pro musician mates (no one that famous, but loads of touring and session players).
The ones in specific 60s/70s tribute acts as a side hustle are always modding these cheap guitars to look like much, much more expensive OG models they can't be bothered to fork out 3K for (specifically, a lot of fake Rickenbackers, etc).
Fact is, a decent player can make anything sound halfway decent, and with a little bit of set up, these are fine.
I reckon there's far more variation in old Fenders and Gibsons tbh. I've played astonishing ones. Conversely, loads of absolutely horrible ones that would still be "worth" north of 3K etc. And any guitarist knows this. Buying anything unplayed is a lottery. We should all get down our local music shop if we can.
