The Most UNDER-RATED Feature on a Guitar… (and this guitar has it!)

Thumb 1

Good guitars are bad for your ears! What? This guitar is saving my ears, because of the absolutely fantastic intonation that this guitar has. Jin over at AIO (All In One) guitars is fanatical about good intonation. A huge part of the lengthy setup process that AIO does is dialing in the guitar’s intonation. This sunburst SC77 model (also the AIO WLP models) is beautiful, AND sound beautiful! This is the Guitar MAX channel, let’s check it out!

For a crazy good price of $199, you get set neck construction, a carved neck joint, coil splitting, Grover tuners, a beautiful satin flame finish and much more!

How many frets does this guitar have?? And why are some of them missing? It’s 7 strings… but it’s not a normal 7 string guitar. The whole thing is put together with beautiful neck through construction. This was an IYV prototype that was never made into a production guitar. But it’s totally awesome and wish it was a real production guitar.
