Great guitar. Sweet tones, feels great to play. Much better than any JM style I could have reasonably compared. And I love the red paint job on mine.

Beautiful
The quality is unmatched

I want to thank the people at Foals for this incredible guitar. Received this guitar in immaculate, pristine condition (it was even in tune!). The neck might be the nicest feeling neck out of the box I've ever seen. I can't say how impressed I was with the build quality and condition of this guitar. If you're looking for an offset guitar, do yourself a favour and check these guitars out. I'm astonished and in the best way. The shipping does take a while as other have mentioned, however they kept me in the loop and assured me everything would be fine, and it was. Thank you Foals Guitar and Bass Works, you guys are the real deal and I'm glad I took a chance on your amazing company and instruments.

Two months after I placed my order, I received a more-or-less flawless guitar, playable out of the box. I think this guitar is a tremendous bargain.

I'm a professional musician. I make money making music, and teaching music.
I've played, and purchased (and sold) many guitars in my career. I took a chance, and bought a Foals guitar, literally just because of the color, thinking that I'll upgrade all the components later.
The guitar I received exceeded my expectations. I love it. Will I change the pickups? I don't know... maybe. Maybe not. Even THE STRINGS were the best I've ever seen on an import guitar. Bottom line is–––this guitar is a keeper.

no complaints

Working with Foals was a much better experience than I expected as I’m in the USA and they are in China. Firstly, I made a mistake in the initial order and they worked with me promptly and graciously to make it right. Then, when shipping took a while (even more than expected with international shipping because of some rough seas), they promptly answered every email I sent asking for updates on the eta.

As for the guitar, I’m very happy with it. Not only was it set up much better than I expected after the time it spent in shipping, it was just set up well period. It plays and feels better than guitars that I have played that sell for double the price of the FJM7. So far, nothing but happy with this experience.

Amazing value! At this price point you do not get this quality in a bass guitar. The workmanship is first class and right out of the box it needed NO adjustments. I am used to spending some time adjusting the truss rod, setting the intonation at the bridge, dealing with sharp fret edges, etc... this bass plays GREAT easily outshines bass guitars that can cost twice the price. It looks, plays and sounds so good----I ordered another one in white. (The one I bought is black)

Really well packaged. Excellent quality. Fret work was perfect on mine. The setup was very good although I like my action a little lower so some small adjustments and I was playing. Feels great sounds decent. For the money, I would definitely buy another. It does take a long time but I'm not dropping a star for that as it clearly stats the timeline for delivery on the website.

This guitar is fantastic. I’ve never bought a guitar overseas directly like this. It was absolutely worth the wait. The quality is best in class. I’ve played a lot of import guitars in this price range, and I would guess it’s worth much much more. The Foals hardware is wonderful. It holds tune well. The pots and rhythm circuit do the things they do so well. You can really tame the top end. I have a much more expensive JM type guitar and the tone control is unusable. On this guitar it not only is usable, its musical.

Looks beautiful and more importantly, plays beautifully.

Unbelievable neck ! Beautiful frets, dark rosewood!!

This has quickly become my ‘go-to- guitar. The playability and the tone are both to my liking. It stays in tune pretty well. The action was a little too low to handle some bends high on the fret board. Raised the strings a touch and problem went away. The brass bridge makes for a nice tone but if I try to bend the first string to aggressively, the string pops out of the slot. The tremolo is nice and smooth but the spring seems to be a bit long to properly adjust the lock to be correctly adjusted.
The shielding is excellent and standby noise is almost totally eliminated. Makes playing quiet passages very pleasant…

On the short list for best value to dollar on any guitar made today. The money saved from a fender allowed me to get all 3 of their guitars that are on par with the Vintera 3 line.

Design and quality are excellent. I recommend as an upgrade for any offset guitar.
