Fesley is fast becoming one of the top discount guitar manufacturers in the business. Their secret? High-quality instruments at a low price point. The LP350 is a prime example of this.
This Les Paul-style guitar is not just attractive, but also sturdy and comfortable to hold and play. Its solid body construction and classic design make it a versatile instrument suitable for a wide range of musical styles, from classical and folk to blues, punk, alternative, and even the most extreme metal.
The solid body is poplar and the fretboard is high-density techwood, making the guitar lighter than some other Les Paul-shaped instruments. The guitar features a three-way toggle switch so players can use the bridge pickup, the neck pickup, or both, and the pair of volume knobs and single tone control knob enable fine tuning even after pedal and amp settings are locked in.
One standout of the LP350 is the humbucker pickups, which deliver a powerful and clear tone without unwanted noise or hum even when played at high gain. In addition, they handle a strong pick attack with ease, perform well when the strings are palm-muted, and sustain notes beautifully when the bridge is untouched.
The D-shaped neck makes it easy for players with small or large hands to wrap their fingers around the instrument, and, the LP350 is a pleasure to maneuver, whether playing standard positions or complex inversions, providing guitarists worry-free chord changes and fluid soloing. The frets are well-crafted and easy to access, and the edges are nicely rounded so players needn’t be concerned about getting stabbed and can just focus on their playing.
While the plastic nut might seem like a minor detail, it performs admirably and doesn’t detract from the overall playing experience. The tuners, though not the highest quality, hold tune surprisingly well for a guitar in this price range. Upgrading to locking tuners would further enhance tuning stability, making it ideal for live performances.
The LP350 is not just a great beginner guitar; it’s also a solid choice for intermediate players. Its sturdy construction and impressive sound quality make it suitable for gigging, especially after a few minor upgrades. The included accessories — a strap, basic gig bag (it works, but don’t drop it), picks, and a decent patch cord, add value to the already affordable instrument.
Fesley continues to impress with their commitment to quality and affordability. The FLP350 is a testament to their dedication, offering a guitar that rivals many instruments sold at twice the price. The guitar is currently available here for $169.99.
