Leo Jaymz 39 Inch Solid Body Electric Guitar - Poplar Wood Body，Maple Neck and Laurel Wood Fretboard (Red)

Great guitar, plays very well, not perfect. The string on it were junk, put on some Ernie Ball's and it came alive, and stayed in tune. It's a looker but a 7+ pounds could be a bit lighter. Very easy to play, and has great tone. Could not believe I got this shipped for 119.00 plus sales tax.

I ordered this guitar based on the price and other reviews. I build and mod guitars as a hobby so I ordered this thinking I would have to change some hardware and electronics. All I really needed to do was adjust the truss rod and the string action a bit. After that, I checked the intonation which was pretty spot on. I decided that the hardware and electronics are adequate for what this guitar is. The fit and finish of this guitar is excellent and the neck is great with level frets and no sharp fret ends. It plays and sounds fantastic for a guitar of this price range. The pickups are not microphonic and the guitar looks and plays great the way it is, much to my surprise. I had planned on at least changing the strings but I don't think I'm even going to do that because they are pretty good. I would recommend this for someone just starting out even though a few adjustments might be needed. Leo Jaymz really did a nice job with this guitar.

This guitar is exactly what you would expect from a guitar in this price range. First off, it looks great. No blemishes in the finish, no scratches or dings. Out of the box it was almost perfectly intonated, the frets were done well, every component worked.Overall playability: stays in tune relatively well, especially compared to other "budget" models I've owned. The pickups are by far the weakest point on this guitar. They have fairly high output, but it's quite obvious as soon as you plug it in that they are not high quality. Pretty easy fix.Pros:Great priceGreat looksPlays okCons:Pickup qualityThis guitar would make a fantastic mod base. Swap out pickups and maybe the tuners, and you've got yourself a decent piece.

This guitar is awesome! Came in opened the well packaged guitar and find a beautiful white guitar. It’s a bolt on neck vs traditional set in necks, but does that really matter? I do t think so. I took off the strings and trust rod cover. Everything was set up ok from the factory, a little high string action but not too bad. The one thing that rubbed me the wrong way was under the trust cover there was tape that was never removed and they had painted over it. It was dried and when I removed it the paint chipped a little from the cavity. Luckily the cover covers it up. Had a few high spots on some frets and it took me a whole 10 min to address them and polish them. After a new set of stings this baby way ready to rock!! Sounds pretty good and fells way better than its price range. A real winner!!!

Wow!!! This guitar exceeded all of my expectationsBeautiful paint nice "C" shapes neck, and really nicely done fret work. I fully expected for a guitar at this super low price to need some TLC. But to my utter surprise there were no sharp edges on the frets and no need for a level and crown.All I did was set the act I on to my preference, tune it and play!!The white paint has zero flaws, and is nicely done. No orange peel or blemishes anywhere.Well done Leo Jaymz!!Like the old cereal commercial said, TRY IT!! YOU"LL LIKE IT!!

This is my first Leo Jaymz guitar. My modest little guitar collection was missing a double-cut style guitar like this, and I wanted that classic pointy profile (not the oblique/offset versions offered by some brands), i.e., something that had that 'classic' Black Sabbath / AC-DC look...but also something a little different than a red SG copycat. So when Leo Jaymz put out the purple burst it looked like it fit the bill, I figured I'd check it out.Unfortunately, the first one I ordered never arrived - having apparently been lost by the shipping company along the way. After it became clear that it was lost, Amazon sent a replacement. I ended up returning that one due to a very crooked logo on the headstock, which would've kept me up at night. I ordered another after that, and the one I current have in-hand finally arrived.As a "budget" guitar collector and tinkerer, I expect a sub-$150 price point guitar to be lightly packaged, poorly set-up, and to have some minor cosmetic or manufacturing flaws that are within my wheelhouse to correct. To my surprise. this guitar shipped in a double-walled rectangular (not trapezoid) box and was well-protected by form-fitting styrofoam. As such, the guitar arrived with no signs of damage. I was even more pleasantly surprised to find that the guitar's appearance was nearly flawless. It was not, however, very playable out-of-the-box, which was a disappointment but not a surprise. I'll be doing a full set-up and will probably do some upgrades to get it to play and sound the way I want it to, which again, is something I was fully prepared for in advance. If you enjoy doing that sort of work, the bones of this guitar are great as a mod platform. If, however, you are not someone who is comfortable with doing and/or paying for that work, you may be disappointed that it is not ready to play as-is. Detailed good / bad observations below:Appearance - positives:+ Flawless finish. The purple burst looks great, starting with a solid (not transparent) purple in the center and blending into black at the edges. The rest of the body and neck is black all-around. The gloss clearcoat is evenly applied and well-polished.+ The trapezoid pearloid fret marker inlays are pretty good, with some 3-dimensional depth and swirls.+ The fretboard itself (described as "ebony composite") is a dark (almost black) color. While it lacks interesting woodgrain patterns, the dark look fits this guitar style nicely.+ Fretboard binding is well-done and uniformly ivory-colored all-around (a nice surprise; at this price point, binding is often more white on top where it's exposed and more yellow on the sides where lacquer has been applied).Appearance - negatives:- The 1-ply matte black trapezoid truss rod cover looks cheap and doesn't fit the look of an LP-style headstock very well. Almost any shape would've looked better, especially in a glossy 2-ply acrylic. Easy enough for me to replace, just seems like they picked the wrong penny to pinch on that part.Functional - positives:+ Pots are smooth and seem to ramp up / down as they should (not the big step-up/step-down issue that cheap guitars sometimes suffer from. Pickup switch and output jack seem to function adequately.+ The bridge pickup has a nice vintage growl, as I'd expect for this style of guitar. The neck pickup was a bit brighter than I would expect, which made sense when I checked them on my multi-meter; I measured 10.3 kohms at the bridge pickup and 10.8 kohms at the neck (typically you'd expect the neck to be lower than the bridge). But read on...Functional - negatives:- Terrible factory strings (as expected). Just replace these right away.- The tuners feel really cheap. I think the "chrome" semicircle tuning buttons might even be chrome-painted plastic, which I've never seen (even on sub-$200 guitars). I'm not a "tuner snob" that thinks every guitar needs expensive brand or locking tuners; I'll happily use factory tuners most of the time.But these are pretty bad. I have a pair of identical-looking factory tuners that I removed from another "budget" brand (cosmetic decision) which are actually decent, so I'll be swapping those in as soon as I change the strings.- The nut is poorly sized, such that the strings are far too high off the fretboard. Open chords all sound very out-of-tune as a result. I can't tell if it's a plastic or bone nut (yet), but I am likely to replace it with a more appropriately-sized Tusq nut (rather than try to file this one down to the right height).- The pickups are *very* microphonic. Bad enough that I can hear my normal speaking voice come through the amplifier if I talk 6-8" above the strings. Which is a real shame because the bridge tone isn't terrible otherwise. Perhaps you could dip them in wax or remove and reinstall the chrome covers w/ wax or caulking between the bobbins, but given the poorly matched neck pickup I will probably just replace these with a pair I have lying around from another guitar.- The bridge and stop tail seem to be on the thinner / lighter side compared to my other tune-o-matic style guitars. It may not be a big deal tone-wise but since I have some more robust spares lying around (again, removed from other guitars due to cosmetic choices), I'll probably swap out this hardware as well.- Frets are pretty rough and will require polishing + rolling ends to de-sharpen them. Fixable; pretty much what I expected for this price.Bottom line, I'm actually pleased with this guitar despite the cons listed above, because I knew what I was getting into. I really like the way it looks and I am looking forward to what it will become by the time I'm done tinkering with it. But I will probably spend a few bucks swapping components and dialing it in, which would cost me a few bucks more if I hadn't already had decent spare sets of tuners, bridge/tail parts, and pickups lying around.Would I recommend it? Not to a beginner, no. If you're a tinkerer like me, sure, on the condition that you know what you're getting into and plan in advance to do the work required to make it play and sound good. Because for about $150, it's a solid and good-looking piece of lumber that could be made into a really well-playing instrument for maybe another $150 in parts + a little elbow grease (and that math may start making a lot less sense if you have to pay someone else to do that work). But if you want a cheap guitar that plays well right out of the box, there are better guitars out there that do the budget thing better if you don't mind paying a little more up-front.
