Looking around for another telecaster we came across a great looking 'budget' relic version from Gear4Music and at just £149 snapped one up. Only later did it occur that reviewing a 'cheap' guitar from our channel partner may not be the smartest move... what if it's a bit rubbish? 😳

Take advantage of the Gear4Music sale prices on this range...

The Guitaristas YouTube channel is still independent of paid reviews and supported/gifted products... it's all the thrills without the shills! 🎸We buy all our gear and the content also costs real time and money to make so our way of raising extra $$ to fund the channel is via the subscription TV Channel at: https://theguitaristas.tv 📺 I am very grateful to my growing army of loyal supporters there who help fund this content, make it possible, and keep it real. You know who you are. 🙏

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.

We run this channel to provide therapy for our gear addiction and for an excuse to buy more. Please like and subscribe and keep coming back to watch our films if you would like to support the channel!
