I Bought the CHEAPEST Electric Guitar on Marketplace | This is How I Fixed It!

I bought the cheapest electric guitar I could find on Marketplace and turned it from a piece of garbage into a great budget guitar. It was covered in grime, dumb stickers, had electrical issues, and needed a serious setup. In this video, I show you the step by step process I used to take this guitar from dud to stud using basic tools and basic methods. This is a $60 guitar, so it doesn't make sense to pay a luthier for a set up to get it playable. I show you how I tested the electronics and frets, how I cleaned the stickers and other disgusting grime, how I set the intonation, how I adjusted the truss rod, how I adjusted the pickups and how I set the action. If you’re getting into guitar on a budget or just curious what a cheap guitar is capable of with some care and attention, this video’s for you!
