Review: Are You Serious Right Now??? - What on earth? I do YouTube guitar reviews and recently reviewed a similar Grote HSS guitar (the Standard S) and even though that one needed some work, I love it. See the review on Scuttle Productions channel. I ordered this one in two colors, coma red and mocha (I think) and WOW. They arrived in two gigantic desertcart boxes with two small guitar boxes inside. One box was damaged and the interior styrofoam was busted. BUT, the guitars do not seem damaged as far as I can tell upon initial inspection. The necks are two different shades of roasted maple. One is sort of pale, yet dark and the other is very dark -- unlike the corresponding necks in the photos. But, I like them both and I like the variation. These have lesser features than the original Grote. These don't have stainless frets with rounded edges and the inlays are much simpler. The do not come with gig bags and the truss rod adjustment is in the headstock, as opposed to spoke wheels at the neck heel. That's OK, though. Both have absolutely gorgeous body finishes. The red is satin and the mocha is glossy, which I wasn't expecting based on the pictures. There are minor imperfections in the finishes, but more by feel, not really visible. The necks feel pretty good. They are not glossy, but are a bit rougher than I'd like. I might sand them with a fine grit, but I don't know if that would compromise the dark finish (stain vs. roasted?). The frets are polished quite well. I don't think I'll polish them. The ends are not sharp. I have not noticed any buzzing or high frets yet, but I haven't played them much. The action is good, probably 1.75 mm at the 12th on both and the bridges are set well. My original Grote needed a shim, badly, but these do not. The logo on the headstock is off the edge on one. There's not a simple fix for this. Check the video for my original for a very funny story about the logo on that one. The pickups are OK. I think they may be a downgrade from the original, but I haven't checked the specs closely. I would consider replacing the pickups and electronics eventually. But, I think a beginner would be completely happy with them. They function very well, but don't sound amazing. I usually replace strings on new guitars, but these ones feel new and acceptable. They'll be fine until I decide to change them. Overall, I think the value is amazing. The quality is impressive. I don't mind the lower specs, because this still beats just about every other option, even at a somewhat higher price point. They look absolutely fantastic and they feel good to play. They are light guitars, maybe 6 pounds. I am impressed. I'll publish a video in a few weeks or so. See the channel info above.
Review: Fantastic Fretwork - The five stars are for the neck, the fret work, the set up and the color. I would give the pick ups about three stars. But that’s to be expected on this lower price guitar. And the strings get one star. That’s the first thing I always change on a new guitar are the strings. I wanna say this is the best action set up I’ve gotten on any guitar I bought with the exception of my ESP. The action was set low just like I like it and the neck is perfect. The frets are all level with no fret sprout. Nothing snags on these frets. There is nothing really to not like about this guitar. The only negative thing for me is I was expecting the fretboard to be glossy, but it’s just satin finish. and from my research, I thought it was going to be a 12 inch radius but it’s more like 14. The tuners are OK. it’s a very nice looking guitar and it plays well. no gig bag. if I was a beginner and I could get this guitar set up the way this one is I would definitely get it for the first guitar. The neck and the fret work is much better than fender Squires. I know ,I own three. The pick ups are a little microphonic, but that’s no problem for me. I have amplifiers and gadgets where I can make it sound better than it is,fortunately. For $109 I would definitely recommend this for anyone that just wants a first guitar or an extra. it comes with the whammy bar and hex key. Also has a cord that is nothing to brag about. The tuners get about 3 1/2 stars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value!
*by A***R on April 14, 2025*

This guitar turned out to be very decent. Finish: excellent, flawless, I couldn't find a single scratch anywhere. The satin black finish is very beautiful and smooth, and the woods used in the neck are great. Electronics: for this price the pickups are ok, not microphonic, I would like them a bit hotter, but they are usable. The coil splitter for the humbucker works well and produces a nice tone, especially on the second position when combined with the middle pickup. Output Jack is good, pots do their job, although the tone could be more gradual. All of the pickups sound good in clean and overdriven sounds. Setup: it was good out of the box, I lowered the action a bit because that's how I like it, but it was playable upon arrival, intonated. Truss rod works fine. Frets could use some polishing Neck: something to be aware of, this neck is chunky, I measured 22.5mm at the first fret. I guess you could sand it down, but I don't have experience doing that, for now I'll leave it as is. The wood grain and color on the neck are very beautiful, very smooth to play. Fretwire is medium jumbo I think, that makes it comfy to bend strings, and gives plenty of material if fret leveling is required. No fret sprout at all. *The body size seems to be smaller than average strats, this guitar is very light which is good if you have back issues.
