  • Of course the Walmart ones sound bad, but take a look at their high end stuff and I promise you will shit bricks

  • It makes me cry seeing these because they are vey low quality. An artist like you deserves better equipment.

  • o my god. tht piece of shit hurts my ears. if i ever happened to acquire one of those for some strange reason, id use it as a melee weapon for the upcoming zombie apocalypse. or id jus smash the guitar on the street

  • @souljadarko i have a first act guitar too. When i bought it, i had no amp with it so i bought one : roland cube 20x . Sounds pretty decent for a cheap guitar. I even made a gig with that first act guitar so i guess it sounds pretty good with a better amp

  • I have a quick question. I got a first act guitar with the amplifier it comes with. Will buying a more bigger/expensive amplifier improve sound quality? Or will another guitar sound better? Thanks.

  • Thanks! Lol!

  • you're too good a player for that thing, you somehow made it sound alright.

  • How long have you been playing? I would like to be like you:D I also have a first act. Its and ME 475 and it sounds pretty good.

  • That was my first guitar, except mine was all black. Now I use bc rich warlock.

  • t excuses, that amplifying you use?

  • t excuses, that amplifying you use?

  • damn my dreams crushed i am going to have to practice harder to beat tht

  • from what song is the riff on 0:56 onwards ? by the way my guitar too is a first act me 505 moderator . =D

  • No matter what guitar you have, talent does matteers.

  • its not specifically the guitar. if ur set ur amp up the right way any guitar can sound half way decent

  • @FadeToPuppets Spoken like someone who's never had one in their hands. Or, like someone whose never even held a guitar. Other than the skinflute, I doubt you play anything.

    Word.

  • I had broke the headstock on my Fender P-Bass and needed a filler when I saw a First Act bass in a pawn shop. I bought it for very little and was amazed at the playability and intonation. This cheapo looks, plays and sounds like any high-dollar guitar I've had in my hands. I wouldn't sell it, not only because I use it for everything, but because you can't get anything for it! To sell a First Act guitar I'd have to be needing lunch money to eat.

  • nice job man. thanks for the vid. you sound good. i am just starting. roughly how many hours to get where you're at?

  • @frankyforearmsnycnh try yrs buddy lmao if you practice hours on end everyday you could be better than that ive seen 1 yr players blast me out of this world in shredding and ive been playing for a long time. so you get out what you put into it.

  • nice gutair playing

  • first crap

  • wow, i just bought one exactly like it. what settings do you have the amp and guitar on when u do the distortion, cuz mine sounds kinda fuzzy. and every time any thing touches the strings, or the body, it makes noises. its weird. but yeah, im glad I can make great sounds even though its beginners guitar

  • what kind of amp is the question

  • Out of 10 stars what would you give it. Not taking price into consideration.

  • my first guitar was a Lyon by washburn.....(got it at target XP)

  • u can buy those at wall mart for like $100

  • that guitar may be cheap but those are beast colors

  • Great sound out of cheap-ass guitar. Better than I'd expect actually.

  • PPL like to dogg on them, but first act guitars are made very well.

  • looks like a f**king Washburn hehehe only a lot smaller :-/

  • is that one of the walmart ones or did you put new pick ups in it?

    really really nice playing tho man!

  • @XxEpiphany7xX Its actualy just one of the Walmart ones.. I was gonna sell it on Ebay for the store I teach out of.. I didn't change anything on it.. Thanks for the compliment!

  • @calciumblue how do you do distortion

  • Thanks!

  • w0w dude u r awsesome!!!!!!!! i wish i could play like that u rock!!!!

  • @TheEmanawesome1997 Wow! Thanks!

  • @calciumblue hey the faster parts are you using certain scales for that or are you freestyling

  • @TheEmanawesome1997 just practice

  • Good Playing Mate

  • @S4M96 Thanks!

  • ppl call first act guitar are a peice of crap but bands like bring me the horizon , my children my bride, envy on the coast, the almost , the devil wears prada and taking back sunday use these guitars just to name a few bands

  • the only resean people hate them r cuz there sold at wallmart. there acually good guitars. the lead guitarist for maroon 5 uses first act

  • yeah i agree plus i saw a Fender at walmart lol so..

  • @fierokr3w

    The ones they sell at walmart for $90 arent good. The action is ridiculously high, the pickups sound like they are wound with plastic, and they are made with wood of lower quality than the wood my desk is made of. These are things that a moderate guitar player could easily work around, but to a beginner it is frustrating and most of the time sounds terrible.

  • @fierokr3w

    Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, The Replacements, Maroon 5, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Depeche Mode, Mastodon, System of a Down, Franz Ferdinand, The Cure, Los Lonely Boys, Taking Back Sunday, Norma Jean, Placebo, musicians in the backing bands of Paul McCartney and Enrique Iglesias, Funeral for a Friend, Cancer Bats, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Poison The Well, Stryper, The Jesus Lizard, Bon Jovi...

    They all have a First Act guitar.

    Compliments of Animatronica on some other video I just saw.

  • lol watever... personal opinion clearly! to me les pauls are to bulky to weighty and sit uncomfortably, but everyone has a favourite. all im saying is if u swap out the cruddy pickups in a standard FA guitar and put actives in it then the tone quality is just outstanding from low ends to high ends it just sounds perfect!

  • lol people hating... fuck off!! this guitar is amazing, ive recently brought a First Act Sheena SFA 220! swapped out the single bridge pickup for a seymour duncan blackout and now the guitar blows shit all over gibsons, fender & even ibanez! for the price you pay theese are great guitars to customize and get them to a superior standard!

  • dude virtually nothing beats a gibson espestialy the les paul so yes ... shut it

  • first act guitars are not as bad as people make them out to be. if you change to a higher quality pickup, you have a guitar sound comparible to a stratocaster.

  • thats true but the first act acoustics are terrible

  • On the First Act website, they have this exact guitar on sale for $49.99. I have the blue one, I paid $49.99 for mine, and it sounds at least as good as the Epiphone Junior I used to have (Musicians Friend sells the Junior for $129.99). The First Act Moderator series are very fine sounding thrash guitars, they weigh next to nothing, and the necks are outstanding. The tuners could be better, but then they wouldn't be selling them for $49.99. They are alot of fun, if you have the humility !

  • My only beef with this guitar is that it has no neck pickup for richer clean tones. I hardly ever play the bridge pickups clean.

  • gibson les pauls are better than this piece of crap, even squiers are better than this,

  • Depends on the Squier you are refering to. Some of the lower end bullets have an OSB body, the First Act is solid wood at least and the neck joint is tighter on the First Act. Of course an $800+ Gibson is better than this. Gibson LP is my favorite of all electrics but I like many types. This First Act is good for the price. Better than many $150 models available from other companies. This guitar is good if it's set up by someone who knows how to do it right. You can either play or you can't.

  • yah this guitar blows dont buy it

  • sounds good

  • i have the same guitar and i also have that same sticker on it lol

  • I was thinking of getting this one to practice on. I think it's pretty good. I wasn't expecting strat sound but it sounds good. I wish for a more full sound but I like it. I'm gonna get it. Thanx man, ur great too!

  • wow dang you are very good and you make this lame and cheap guitar sound really good

  • first act guitars are complete and utter shit, nut up an extra bill an get a epiphone or a squier.

  • Omg man you're so talented, keep up the great work!!

  • I wanted the green one then I got the black one, not a bad sounding guitar at all, no gibson but still sounds good

  • how much and help me

  • the guitar is pretty small

  • motivates me :) I have a shit first act guitar, I'll play well and won't let the brand of my guitar stop me.

    thumbsup, man

  • spoken like a true guitarist!!

  • you r one of the best guitar players i have ever seen

  • WOW YOUR AMAZINGLY GOOD i so wish i could play like that:) and thts a first act guitar?????

    wow..ppl say those are the worst but u prove them wrong ...agin UR AMAZINGLY GOOD

  • Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!

  • WHOOA...ur like umm whats the word....A GUITAR GOD LOL ...how did you learn to play so good??i wish you could post a vid on how to play....plzzzzzz :)

  • ur reely good!

  • Thanks! I love the compliments!

  • I love that color. I'm not normally one for single-pickup models, but I would buy that for its color.

  • Comment removed

  • What a lucky piece of crap guitar.I love when somebody takes a junk guitar and makes it sing.

  • Thanks man...

  • oh my, its so easy for you lol

    how long have you been playing?

  • I have been playing for 20 years this year..... I am 33 years old.. Thanks for the complement..

  • sure thing(:

    iv only been playing for a little more than a year lol

    alot to go

  • what crap just shut up you suck its first act its horibble

  • fuck off you poser.

  • I love to watch people play when it seems so effortless for them. I wish it was that effortless for me.

  • Wow thanks! For the complement!

  • Nice rendition of Black Bird. My fav Beatles tune!

  • since when does showing a guitar for an ebay auction require some much wanking

  • It doesnt.... It just adds Garlic...

  • dude I have the black with white pick guard version of that guitar and to all the idiots saying First act sucks you're stupid they're supriseingly good

  • what was the second riff called?

  • Its just an A Minor Blues riff...

    (Minor Pentatonic with an added #4)

  • i meant the first acoustic played one

  • Message in a bottle by the police

  • is mg-412 good guitar?

  • WOW U ARE A BEAST

  • Thanks....

  • haha these guitars blow, so you definitely got it going through a processor or something.

  • just a 75 Watt Randall amp.

  • r u a hillie billy just askin but nah what version is that????

  • dude i have the same guitar how can i make it sound like that

  • buy a modeling guitar processor (pedal)... i recommend u the Digitech ones... they have a lot of effects, and distortions... and they r pretty cheap

  • they bay not sound the greatest but geez they are indestructible

  • looks like les paul jr

  • i have a big collection of guitars. i just bought a first act,and im actually impressed with it. it's a great begginer guitar. it's light, small, and rather cheap. it's really not a bad guitar.

  • that is too big for 5 year olds..im 18 and i bought it..i have a fender stratocaster,but for a hardtail first act guitar that model it good.

  • IBANEZ is ok i like my Jackson dinky

  • damn it dont matter what guitar u use as long as u kno how to play it.

  • first act makes alright guitars now...but a few years back, they were a piece of shit, i know from first hand experience

  • First Act encourages kids to learn music but their instrumants are for any one who is tight on cash but loves to make music.

  • First Act is all about getting new players to playing music. Most people don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a guitar before they know how to play it. Understanding that, we make our guitars affordable so there is a very low hurdle for anyone buy one of them - hence more people learning to play music every single day. Any company that makes musical instruments is a good company.

    All the Best,

    Brett @ First Act

  • Alot of people knock how First act sounds. well, see they are made cheaply so they can put these instruments into low income familyies. and I respect that. they also make their fair share of premium guitars. First act uis a great company. KEEP music alive and Suport your local music store.and companies like First Act.

  • I could really use one of your custom shop guitars! I will make video's about it.. Seriously!

  • @FirstActCo Thank God you guys stepped in, people don't give your corporation enough credit. You guys are all about introducing new players to music, and you guys even make some pretty high end guitars as I've seen on the website.

  • @FirstActCo Hey, sorry this reply is at a year old comment but do you know where your customizer flash program/form is on the website?

  • to tylerd0012: copy and paste these 2 to the youtube and search engine.

    "Volkswagen, Slash und der Jetta"

    "Volkswagen Commercial with Slash"

    thats right fucknuts. its slash using a first act guitar for a VW commercial

  • what are you talking about. dumbass, this obviously isnt the best quality guitar with great sound. I hope to God there isnt a Les Paul out there that sounds like this.

  • no he didnt....i have that guitar and i play in a band with it.i sound damn good regardless of what guitar i got.

  • I'm going to have to agree, first act guitars are awfull, I'm stunned you made your's sound as good as you did.

  • first act sucks so bad its not even a fucking good brand damn ever heard of o idk gibson,fender,esp,kramer,jacks­on,ltd, epiphone theirs a reason most pros well excuse me good pros i forgot avril laviegne uses a first act i mean my god u dont see angus,or slash, or fucking eric clapton or anyone else using a fucking first act damn ur a retard

  • you need a real guitar if your that good

  • watching these first act guitar videos are making me feel dumb, because i sold my first act guitar [witch cost me around 100 dollars] for a KONA guitar [witch sucks, and it cost me around 1000 dollars]

    my first act sounded great, but i wanted another guitar because my friends said first act guitars are for noobs.

    but i now know thats a lie -_-

  • Brent Hinds from Mastodon plays a First Act guitar and he is no noob ;)

  • I would have bought it for the ADIO sticker lmao jk

  • Where did you acquire this guitar?

  • Because its not the guitar, its the guitarist.

    If youre good you can make it sound good.

  • I completely agree. Look at James Hetfeild. The guitar he plays (On Death Magntet and early C.D.s) is a japanese knock off of a Gibson V.

  • Agreed. A nice amp doesn't hurt either ^_^

  • Agreed

  • why would you ask something like that seeing as this is a video of him trying to sell his guitar, not show his skills. andlike they said, its not the guitar, its the guitarist

  • dayum man thats sick

  • Thank you... LOL

  • you make that thing fucking talk lol

  • Hehehhe... Thanks!

  • try playin with a death meatl padel with the voice low sonds bad ass

  • Thanks a a lot for the complement!

  • wait did you do anything to make it sound like that

  • Not really... I just plugged into this Randall RG-75 combo amp and recorded...

  • i cant belive you!!

    you turned a shitty guitar and made it sound

    fucking awesome

    tell me how you did it?

  • Wow! Thanks! LOL!

  • i have a squirel or sometin electric guitar with a marshall amp

  • nice shredding- what amps was that baby pluged in to?

  • A Randall solid state RG-75

  • i dont know why people always say first act guitars are crap... they are really good i love them. i myself own a first act designer double cutaway and I LOVE IT. it has an amazing crunchy tone and the weight is perfect for me. but thats just my opinion

  • I love first acts.I have an ME537

  • wow alfstrawwiz i thought he was pretty good but i guess not plz show a video of you doing better

  • dude first act is like the worst guitar in the whole universe so get a life and throw that piece of crap and shit out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • sorry don't like first act. Not good quality at all I own a Dean EVO/XM I would buy a Squire ot Epiphone.Anything you find at Target,Walmart ect. is junk.Music stores don't sell first act and that should tell you something.If buying a first or cheap guitar go to a local music store and get one also play it in person don't buy online specally ebay some sellers like ripping people off and selling total junk.

  • I personally like the way this guitar looks more than some of the classic shapes. I can't really judge it on quality though, since my guitar is even cheaper than this. Aren't those the demo songs that they have on the first act website? lol.

  • dude you should totaly be in a band

  • The sound of a guitar comes more from the player of the guitar than the guitar itself. Any good player can make any guitar worth anything sound good. The hypocrites of "cheaper" guitars should play them before they run their rich snobby mouths on youtube about how bad they are. A good guitar player can make any guitar whale!!

  • dude seriously if you know how to play it doesnt matter what guitar you have

  • I'm totally with you on that one. I have some expensive guitars but seriously the one I play the most is my First Act. It's got a nice crunchy tone to it and it's light weight. I love it doesn't matter how much it cost it's how you play it that makes it sound good. Fuck these assholes real musicians can make anything sound good.

  • yes sir

  • I never really liked first act because it's cheap brand and all.

    your playing is fucking amazing though

  • on the first act amp wat do u put i cant find a good combo

  • i have a first act. it sux

    im gonna use it to learn and then get a real guitar

  • Thats what im doing, i got mine for 50 bucks to it sucks sounds so weak like no pitch or great tone. It can play some songs but sounds so much better on a actual guitar not something made out of plywood.

  • dude you shouldve known it might sound bad when you saw it was FIFTY bucks

  • yeah i know lol. but it still makes music i kinda like that it sounds like that dont know why. but i mostly wanted something i could learn with, and not pay enough just incase i lost interest.

  • go play a f***ing flute! lol

  • lol get a fuckin real guitar

    (1972 firenza)

  • MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE!

  • thats the same guitar i have but mine is black, very cheap price... but if u ask me its actually pretty good quality, i bought mine at Wal-Mart for $99.95 and the amp for $49.95, i love it!
