Fazley Hot Rod V2 FTD182SG-M Surf Green Electric Guitar with Fixed Bridge

Considering the price of this guitar, it is very good. Its a good weight, the green is stunning. It's a good guitar to mess about with. I have 2 other electric guitars which I use in the office but with the price point of this guitar I don't mind leaving it around the house for day to day playing. I am planning on modding it a bit later on with a pickguard and new volume knob.

Neck, bridge and pickup all out of Alignment. Nut not cut properly, far too high. I am in the process of rebuilding the guitar. So far, I have relocated the bridge which was both 3mm high and twisted in relation to the Neck. Now the low e is not falling off the side of the fretboard!
I decided to keep the guitar and rebuild it rather than return it for being g unplayable because I actually really like its feel, the Neck is excellent, a fat c shape with great fretting. So, if you buy one of these be aware you might have to rebuild it, if you know how that it. Next I will reposition the pickup,which will require extending one side of the route. I think the pickup cover will still cover the hole OK.

This Hot Rod lives up to it's name. Good punchy tone with plenty of bite from it's twin coil pickup. Nice chunky neck. I love it's simplicity... a no-nonsense cracker. Great eye catching colour. The build quality is superb... I cannot fault it, except for the lack of varnish/lacquer on the fretboard, so keep your strings clean to avoid it getting grubby, l can live with that no problem. Nice weight, low action and very comfortable to play for a guitar with such a modest price tag. Took it to band practice and it performed well cranked up...no buzzing or howling feedback. Kept solid tuning despite a punishing three hour stint. I wouldn't hesitate to gig with it. Well worth the cost. Another winner from Fazley. Bax Music took a mere three days to get this champ to my door. Excellent service.

Hi all. Just a quick few words to comment not only on the guitar but the service from Bax Music. Ordered the Fazely Hot Rod Surf green model on MONDAY and it arrived TODAY ! In between I received 2 e-mails, one Tuesday to say my order had been processed and another one yesterday to say it had been despatched. Fantastic turnaround time from ordering to delivery so many thanks and well done to all concerned from the warehouse staff to the courier. The guitar was packed very well indeed, a box within a box and lots of extra padding and styrofoam. The guitar itself is very good value for money and is perfect for a novice player like myself. The overall finish is exeptional. The neck and body are solid and the paint job is fantastic ! Well done to all concerned and thanks for making the entire process and easy and professional one. Many thanks and kindest regards. Mick.

Viewed this guitar on the YouTube budget guitar site, Jonny has a good option on guitars, took his opinion on this one and I'm not disappointed, going to use for slide playing real value for money, l may change the string size to suit kind regards to all

Na er enkele tijd en dagen op gespeeld te hebben en verschillende genres geprobeerd te hebben, ben ik tot de conclusie gekomen dat het een goede gitaar is die fijn in de hand ligt en fijn speelt. De enkele pickup komt goed tot zijn recht bij deze gitaar. Helaas is de brug iets minder goed af te stellen. Maar dat is een probleem dat te verhelpen is als je er de juiste aandacht aan besteedt of de juiste persoon naar laat kijken. Ondanks een paar minpunten raad ik deze gitaar aan voor elke beginnende gitarist. Ook als je als ervaren gitarist op zoek bent naar een leuke betaalbare oefengitaar of een leuke opvulling aan je gitaarwand, is dit een goede koop. Voor de prijs hoef je hem niet te laten liggen. Voor wat je er aan terugkrijgt aan kwaliteit, krijg je meer dan waar voor je geld.
