Zachary F1-C a Z for the Telecaster Junkie

[DrCowinabox]

nice guitar... some people dont like the plain wood look of zachary guitars but i think it looks realy nice. sounds great to. way better than cheap chinease brands like epiphone or squiere. i just wish that i had the money to aafford these guitars.

[frankiebguitar]

@DrCowinabox Well its not the guitar but the player. I played cheap guitars for years and made them sound better than expensive guitars. I could lose them all and still get something that would work for under $500 easy. That said there is something about these that make them work.

[amusiathread]

It sounds...

Generic. Don't get me wrong, it sounds okay, but you could make a $200 guitar sound just as good.

[frankiebguitar]

@amusiathread Obviously not your thing, looking at your channel. Why don't you post some videos of your playing? Yeah I could make a cheap guitar sound as good with some work but why bother? It would be awful to play and I can afford a nice one. After all they are mostly just wood and the differences are very subtle. I don't claim to play particularly well either. I've had some other nice Teles but not with 24 frets and such a nice neck and body feel.

@frankiebguitar

I'm not criticizing your playing at all, that's your thing and more power to you!

I'm just stating a critical opinion of the guitar. I've played, heard, and owned $3000+ guitars where the price tag is justified many times over. But having myself played a Zachary, and having heard them on numerous videos and recordings, they don't do much to back up the hype.

@amusiathread what hype?????? how much do these horrendous looking things cost? don't tell me this thing is in the 3 grand bracket? my squier tele sounds better than this and it has the most amazing neck too. looks like this fella has fallen hook line and sinker with the zachery sales pitch (i only sell to real musicans bla bla bla) from what i've seen and heard they sell truly awful looking guitars that sound very average that gullable morons pay way over the odds for.

[frankiebguitar]

@MrMannydac I've got a dozen guitars and I've owned most popular guitars over many years. A Squier Tele is a great value and yeah I could make it sound as good as this with some work but it would never play as nice feel wise and the neck and cutaway body just could not be the same with 24 frets. - its all just wood. Nobody needs a Porsche either but people buy them. A GT3 is a crappy car for grocery shopping. Stop whining.

May I ask what pickups does she have in her ?

[zrkn1]

Awe Man, I would love to spank that bad girl ! Did you name her yet ?

[andrewface]

[petemcc50]

Great tone, well played. Curious as to what kind of amp you are running through...

[frankiebguitar]

Suhr Badger with some very light echo and room reverb and EQ on the track in post.
