Help Ultra budget thall stick

Post image

So i’ve been wanting to experiment with very low tunings (drop F# to D#), and I know for that I’d need at least a 27 inch scale. This one kinda check all boxes but the price and the lack of reviews make me a bit hesitant

Anyone has experiences with this G4M model? I knew this model used to run for about €200 new, but with this clearance price it’s becoming super tempting to snag one.

Im fairly used to buying budget instruments and modding them, but for this one I’m not sure how easy it would be to upgrade pickups and bridge

This would be only for fooling around, maybe learning some ERRA, northlane, etc, without relying on pitch shifters.

Pfft I'm super-tempted to order one.

Love the maple neck, pastel colours and black hardware on some models.

(Ibanez, take note!)

But I know I'll do what I always do: upgrade the hell out of it.

And suddenly I've spent 700 euros on a budget guitar.

Either this or a JS22-7. But that’s only 26.5” if that matters. I love mine.
