Fazley Sunset Series Tempest 90 Surf Green Electric Guitar with Gig Bag

Overall very pleased with my new guitar and accessories, I'm new to all this so it's my my first electric guitar, it seems very well made and the finish is flawless, everything works as it should, I looked around a few other sites first but this seemed to be excellent value for money, the specification was better than the others for the price, it even came with a basic gig bag, so far I'm enjoying it very much, so well done and keep on giving great value for money well made products.

Really, really pleased with this beautiful tele. Looks a million dollars, and sounds surprisingly good! I may change the pickups eventually but they are more than decent. The neck is gorgeous, and is a joy to play. All I did to it was polish the frets (gritty frets are par for the course at this price range), lower the action a little and change the strings. I now have a stunning looking, beautiful playing and nice sounding guitar. I can't stop playing it!

Guitar arrived double boxed with a slight indent in the outer packing but the inner was not damaged. This was more than likely due to transit and being "bumped" about in vans etc. so no star taken off. The outer box had more than enough packaging to protect the guitar, "gig bag", cable and a getting started brochure.
The bag is enough to protect the guitar if you are off to a tutor or putting in the car. Yes it is not really padded as a to of the range one would be but a lot better than a plastic dust cover! The cable is a budget one but for me, so far it works and doesn't produce any hiss or interference.
The guitar itself is exactly as pictured on the website and arrived in almost perfect condition except for a small ding on the headstock. Nothing to complain about after reading reviews from customers of other music shops so again no stars deducted. The strings of course were not tuned and I cam not understand anyone wondering why this is. All strings need stretching and any guitar bought from anywhere in the world (even the most expensive Fenders, Gibson's et al come with untuned strings).
Action looks good although I may adjust the neck (with included allen key) just to bring it down a fraction.

(I may sound like I know what I am saying but this is the only guitar I have owned and still learning the E and Em chords. I have though, spent 6 weeks looking at how to play and product video reviews)

Tuning at the 12th fret shows all strings bar one were in tune, just the A string is slightly out but I would never hear the difference anyway!

If you are thinking of buying one of the Sunset guitars I would say yes go for it. I know it is classed as a "budget" guitar but for a beginner It does everything it should do. If all of the Fazley guitars are like this then they are certainly worth buying.

Sent me a guitar with a broken neck, neck pocket looked appuling, no damage to box so i assume its down to no quality control. This is the second time ive ordered without success fair warning. It annoys me that i have to print off a label and take it to a local collection point, when no qc was carried out....useless baxtards?

Le premier contact était prometteur et la promesse a été tenue.
Pourtant, lors du déballage, la plaque tenant les potentiomètres ne tenait pas : la vis tombait presque dans le vide (d'où les 4 étoiles et non les 5 qui seraient, sans cela, une évidence). Rien d'insurmontable, mais un débutant pourrait être rebuté.
Ce serait pourtant sacrément dommage de passer à côté : le confort du manche (si on les aime plutôt fins), la finition générale, et même les micros font oublier tout autre désagrément (comme un poids un peu élevé). Même en doublant le prix, je n'ai rien joué d'approchant.
Tout simplement bluffant.

My wife got me one of these models for my birthday.
- Unexpectedly good neck. All the frets are balanced and fret-ends are polished and pleasing to touch, even on high frets. [VERY GOOD]
- One of the screws holding the pickup plate, was drilled into the pickup cavity. actually the cavity itself is badly-machined. the screw was completely lose. I had to add some woods underneath it and screw it into it. [BAD]
- Intonation was set from factory.[GOOD]
- The strings were bad, changed ASAP.[BAD]
- I set the action to a very good height since I prefer low actions. Thanx to the very good fretboard and individual bridge saddles, you can set the action for each string. [GOOD]
- The neck pickup screws were drilled a bit bad, the pickup is crooked a bit but it's not that bad.[MEH]
- Machine heads are good [GOOD] and string tree is a bit sharp, it may damage the low-E string [MEH]
- Wiring underneath is [VERY GOOD]

Bottom line: change the guy in charge of drilling holes!

Très belle surprise! Au delà de son look magnifique, elle sonne très bien avec le p90. Le manche est vraiment agréable et en affinant le réglage de l'action on a une très bonne guitare pour un rapport qualité prix imbattable. Elle pourra être upgrader sans problème. Seul petit bémol elle est un peu lourde (le corps est en tilleul) mais cela fonctionne très bien avec ce type de micro.l'envoi c'est déroulé sans problèmes et merci à l'équipe de Bax pour son professionnalisme.
