Guitar Solid Body Electric Guitar with Gigbag LPYS-006 (Purple)

Update: The hum is gone after adjusting the height of the pickups. Now it is perfect or as close as it gets to perfect. I would get another one if I ever lost this one. Update: Just got the replacement and it is almost perfect. This one is a keeper. Low Action, no fret buzz. no spots in the paint, no dings or nicks. The only issue is a very very very low volume hum coming through the amp if I'm NOT touching the strings. It goes away once you touch the strings or any metal point on the guitar. I would say a slight grounding issue. Got the Blue and it looked really good. The action was low and great out of the box and only 1 fret on the low E was a tad high, it buzzed, would be an easy fix. The sound from the Neck Pickup was good but the bridge pickup is dead. Check wiring etc. but all OK. Did a return and have a new one on the way. It's on the heavy side, didn't weight it but I would say 7-9 lb guitar and priced for beginners who shouldn't have an issue with the action if mine was an example, but also a good guitar for any level of player. This guitar has good bones so it could be a real beast with a few upgrades. Can't wait to get my replacement.

Been playing guitar for over 30 years. I have owned every brand, just about. I have Gibson Les Pauls currently, but I don’t like taking them out of my home to teach lessons or gig for many reasons. I decided to try these because I love the feel and sound of a Les Paul and the other reviews left made me feel comfortable to give these a try with the price point. Here’s my HONEST review, I’m not a shrew for Grote or the Chinese government. Packing: initial thought was no way this guitar is intact. I’m used to more protective packaging, but the guitar came in a gig bag and was not broken. Out of the box: Finish was beautiful!! No scratches, cracks, cloudy areas….nothing. No sprouting frets or any sharpness. Neck felt perfect and fast. Strings were loose but not completely slacked, just enough tension. Initial playing: tuned guitar to E standard, tuners were not as tight with the turns, but I’m also picky about that. Tuned up and it stayed in tune. Checked intonation and it was spot on, which shocked me. Others have said they had buzzing initially, I had none. I had already ordered a replacement nut because of those comments and now it won’t be needed. All 3 pickup positions worked perfectly and as they should. Tried out the guitar for 10 minutes of heavy riffing and wood shedding with aggressive bends and what not. After that 10 minutes, the guitar was only ever slightly out of tune, no different than any of my American made Gibsons, Fenders, or Paul Reed Smiths would be. Final INITIAL analysis: for this price point, this is a steal. Feels and plays WAY better than any Epiphone I have ever owned. I’m going to give their ES-335 copy a try next and I’ll probably pick one or two more of these. I’ll be using these for my teaching lessons and gigging from now on.

The Guitar Solid Body Electric Guitar with Gigbag LPYS-006 (TS) looks absolutely beautiful. I could not find a flaw in appearance. Its a two piece of Mahogany wood body, the neck and head also Mahogany. Fret board is Rosewood, very nice. Tuners work nicely, I wouldn't replace them they hold tune well. The strings not great, I replaced. The Nut appears to be Bone as I see grain lines in the side under direct sunlight. There is absolutely no fret bite at all, however the set-up was not so great. The neck had a bulge upwards in the middle as the truss rod adjustment was incorrect as well as string height to high. I removed the strings, adjusted the truss rod to where the neck was straight and installed new strings,(10s) Putting some string tension little by little adjusted the truss rod slightly. When I sight down the neck with strings tuned it looks very straight. Then lowered the saddle and string height. .060 height on the 1st and .065 on the 6th string. The two bridge post were loose but tightened up fine. Saddle post were tight but I lowered the action. The intonation on 6,5 &4 were close but the intonation on 3,2 &1 were quite far off, all needed adjustment but they came in nicely. The fret work was all flat and straight, once I straightened out the neck. Pick-ups sound pretty good to me and not microphonic. The pots or adjustment knobs seem to have a decent range, I am leaving them. The top of the guitars grain appears to be a high quality graphic print on a substrate and the same clear finish applied over it as the rest of the entire guitar, but it looks great. The grain pattern is 100% identical to the the ad photo. I lowered one star for for overall performance and one star for beginners as the factory set-up was poor and a beginner may of had issues playing it as it was. THIS Guitar has good bones!! and nothing other than the strings were replaced. It's a lot of guitar for the money!!!

ギブソンとか弾いたこと無いけど、エフェクターを継ぐから中国製でも全然問題なし。いい買い物したと思ってます。

ネックが少し太く感じますね。

すごいよい！

この値段でこの仕上げと音質！！！ ソリッド材のボディーで加工工数を減らし、やや重いですが、良い質感です。 「Grote」のメーカーとしての姿勢に共感しています！

昨日の11月26日に届きました。エレキギター初心者のぼくです。アンプには、ちゃんとつないでます。結局アコギみたいにひいちゃうんですね。これで、合っているのかわからないけど。そんなわけで、エレキギター面白いので☆5つです。
