Leo Jaymz SC Series Electric Guitar – Mahogany Body, Laurel Fingerboard, Dual Humbuckers, Tune-O-Matic Bridge, C Neck, 18:1 Tuners (Black Green)

I have several guitars , gibson, fender ,peavy and i saw this guitar , i loved the design , read reviews and decided to buy it . Well “ right out of the box this guitar was ready to play except for tuning the strings . I plugged it in and started playing , and i was amazed at how it sounded and how it felt , the intonation was dead on , the action was almost perfect , i had plans to upgrade the pickups , and put a bone nut , i probably will wait quite a while to upgrade the pickups , the ones on it thru my marshal iss amazing , it has a 70s kinda sound and is great . I still will put a bone nut , but i am really happy with this guitar , it is built well and the quality on this 1 is great , i have a les paul i spent over 1,000 for , and i say this one is just as good maybe even better . If you are new or been playing a while , you wont be disappointed, the only thing i did was , took the strings off , oiled the fretboard with fret oil , put 9 gauge strinfs and tuned it up , i played about 4 hours and i really like this guitar , definitely worth more than the price asking .

$169 Dollars! Wow! This is a really nice guitar. Not "nice for the price". It sounds great and looks great. I bought it with plans of replacing electronics and some hardware. I might do pick ups later as I have done with expensive guitars but for now. I am very happy with this purchase!

Verrrrry cool present from my Wife. Unexpected. When I opened the Box I was Shocked that it was from Amazon. I've never bought a guitar online or one that I didn't play first. This really surprised me, after a set up (neck, action, pickup height and intonation adjustments) its actually a really NICE Guitar. Before the set up, unplayable. E, A & D saddles needed to be turned around for intonation to be possible. I'd never compare it to a my old Gibson. However, Compared to other guitars I've played in Sam Ash, Guitar Center and local shops near me, this Guitar is definitely more than worth the selling price. I'd say its comparable to at least a new $400 guitar. The Grover tuners look great and they work well. It stays in tune better than my OLD Gibson SG ever did. Pots are smooth and not scratchy. Fret work, fret board, Nice after a cleaning and oiling. Pickup switch and output jack could be better. Over all, IMO, this is a GREAT Guitar for the price. I added a pick guard and silver/black control knobs. Was planning to upgrade to some blk Wilkinson hardware (bridge and saddle) new pickups and locking tuners, but its not necessary. The Guitar looks Great the way it is, stays in tune and the pickups are GOOD. I'm going to keep it the way it is for now. I definitely recommend this Guitar for a beginner who knows someone who can do a set up. If I was a beginner I wouldn't know what to do with this when I fist opened the box. I hated my 1st guitar, it buzzed, when it was in tune chords would be out of tune, it NEVER stayed in tune, etc... Very discouraging. Now I know whats up with that stuff and its easily fixable. A beginner may not know what to do. Beginners should, I think, go to a guitar store for their 1st Guitar. One that is already set up or pay someone to set THIS up. Its worth paying for a set up for this guitar. So, I'm Not comparing this to a Gibson. For the price, the quality, sound, feel and over all everything, I give it 4.5 stars for quality/price. Pick guard- KAISH Black 3 Ply LP Guitar Pickguard with Black Bracket for Epi Les Paul Control knobs - Musiclily Pro Metric Size 18 Spline Electric Guitar Speed Knobs for Epiphone Les Paul SG Asia Import Guitar Bass Split Shaft Pots, Chrome. Update--- Over one year later, this is still my go to. I have other Guitars I've paid MUCH more for (Gibson LP, BC Rich, Jackson, Ibanez). This one is the one I'll always have out and play 1st. Changing things and updating a guitar is something I do to them all, even the Gibson, so its modified and will continue to be, like all the rest. I Still recommend and will probably get another one soon. All new wiring, switch, jack and Alnico 2 pickups. Original tuning pegs. Update 2 - 6/24/25 Still the guitar I keep next to me in the livingroom. Annnnd, I got the Matte Black. Blacked everything out and gutted it. New Pots, wires, capacitor, switch, tuners, etc... Wasn't necessary, just wanted to. Update 3 - 11/25 - Matte black is my #1. Gutted it again and installed the ZW EMG kit. Very Good guitar. Love em' both. I still recommend them.

I'm reading some of the reviews and glad I didn't listen to some one offs. This is a solid guitar at this price range! I had an Epiphone 'similiar' model which didn't compare. Sorry never a Gibson owner because of the price! I'm not knocking Gibson or Les Paul but you charge way too much for your guitars! I'll start with the CONS: First, you have to know how to setup your guitar. If not have a local tech do. Should be less than $100 or learn yourself. Slight fret buzz but not bad (some metal shavings came off from the dremel polishing), lowered the action, the strings were fine (.10s I think) if I could salvage them. But cut em. Polish the frets, oil the fretboard, check your truss rod (mine didn't need adjusting)!! Check your intonation in case. This all goes for a $3000 guitar too ya know!! USA driven, China manufactured, to check for QA. PROs: This has become my new favorite guitar! It's beautiful! The hardware, body is solid, pickups, pots, detail, all good. Heavy but what a quality tone. Excellent! If you have an issue out of the box I expect good things from Leo support, didnt need yet. Please dont dissapoint Leo service! Play through some 'decent gear' and it sounds bright, vivid, loud, beautiful. Overall: Impressed does not explain my first reaction. I bought the Tempest model because I am just overall curious about Leo design, quality, and beauty at this price point! I expect this guitar to remain one of my favs! Update Mar31st - Needed to order a new bridge since E, B were rocking and loose. Asked LJ for support. They offered $20 to replace the bridge. Ok so I did. Next purchase I may send back to Amazon if it has issues. Leo Jaymz support is all email. Support lacks a decent response and time. A live person would be nice too! Add 4-28 Also bought the US Flag guitar. Needed the nut raised slightly. Put some thin double adhesive under it, glued it back in. It's a cheap nut unfortunately but works. Got the annoying mysterious buzz out and action lowered more too. Now it rocks! Still the bridge is cheap and will replace. These things setup right are hard to beat for this price. Sounds amazing!

Just received the Single Cut Leo Jaymz. So excited upon opening. It is a beautiful guitar. Haven't plugged in yet, but did tune it up and it's playing ok. The solid back part is two piece, beautifully matched. The maple top also nicely matched. The knobs are nice as well as all the hardware. What's left is to plugin, I'll update once there. 'Nough said. Short update: No goodies; no case/gig bag, no tuner, no strings, no picks. It does include an amp cable. Did I miss any of those things nope. The guitar is just that good for the price. The intonation on my particular guitar is perfect up and down the fretboard, really, at this price? Fret ends ok, not excellent but good. Neck nice and straight with no buzz. Action ok. The tuners are good, though I'm going to change them just to get a more vintage look (I'm actually on the fence, 'cause it does look good as a modern). I already added pointers (Kaish) to the knobs looks good. No blemishes anywhere on the guitar or binding. The pickups are good, tried them out and got that nice breakup turning up the volume, such a pleasing sound. Once I finish the tuners, I'll post before and after photos. If you're looking for a reasonably priced LP, this is it. Photo Update: So I added the vintage style tuners, though there locking (guyker) good and the pointers which I previously mentioned. The tuners where not easy and I didn't get it a 100% right, but there acceptable. The problem, you have to make your own holes for the screws and the holes for the pegs themselves, in the headstock, are larger. This leaves a lot of wiggle room to get them centered. This was my first time doing this. I used a nail for starter holes for the screws, I was afraid to use a drill and go to far. It worked out. Thinking after the fact, you could use a shim for the peg holes which would standarize yhe placement (either temp or perm), next time. I liked the outcome and achieved the vintage look I wanted. Compare for yourself before and after. Hope this helps.

I purchased this guitar after I first purchased the Gradient Red style LP. I am very happy with the Finnish it is beautiful. The hardware is ok , tuners are pretty good. The neck is wonderful, very smooth not too fat. Tunes up easily and holds the tuning very well. It sounds great in all aspects. The price is perfect. However one thing, when I received my Gradient Red it was packed very well and it was in a fairly decent GigBag. The Cherry Sunburst was in great shape once delivered, but it didn't include a GigBag, I'm aware that is a little petty on my end ,BUT my other guitar got one, why not this one too...it's the same company!! Overall, I absolutely love this guitar, highly recommend, if you aren't playing Gigs and just want to fool around with a really cool guitar get this one.....word of advice, purchase a case before you get it shipped to your home. Good luck, keep Rockin ! Update, I have been playing the first two guitars, like crazy, both are absolutely a ball to play, so much so that I just had to get one more. Well, actually I ended up getting two more LPs I got Mr. Purple and the LP Sunburst is being shipped to me.....Hopefully soon. The Purple is a beautiful guitar and sounds wonderful. Nice feel in my hands and it's only 11 lbs I've been enjoying it for over a week, I am really happy. In about a week I will be receiving the LP Sunburst and I am very sure it will be amazing too. More to come. Hope this helps.

Can make a decent entry-level pro guitar with a good setup and some better pickups installed. Some nice Grover tuners will help too, because it will go out of tune after a few songs. Nice foundation, though, and good looking.

I bought the US flag single cutaway version as the foundation for a project, so all I cared about were the fundamental aspects: Mahogany body, mahogany top, mahogany neck, laurel fretboard, stainless steel frets, Grover tuners, and nice paint & finish. And this has all of that. No obvious dings or cracks in the finish or binding was a nice plus. My intent even before buying was & is to swap the pickups out for an EMG 81/85 active pickup set, swap out all the electronics accordingly, give it a complete fret leveling & recrown as needed, dial in the intonation, and give it the best action setup it can handle. So because I plan to do all this work on it, any of it that the factory has already done WELL will just be more nice plusses for me, and I won’t be mad about having to do any or all of it. And that’s how you should really approach buying this - or any - guitar at less than $200. Don’t expect a professional-quality player right out of the box at this price-point. Instead, expect that you’re going to have to do some work to it to bring it up to your playing standards. But if you’re like me - a closet luthier in addition to a closet rockstar - that’s half the fun anyway, right? By the time I’m done with what I intend to do with it, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better playing / better sounding guitar for $400 (which is what I will have invested into it at that point). Another $100 or so for all-black hardware, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better looking guitar - period. A solid foundation for my project, Leo Jaymz. Thanks!

This guitar comes securely packaged in polystyrene shaped to fit the guitar and then inside a sturdy box. It comes with a lead and an allen key (no strap). Needed a slight tune out the box and it was ready to play. It looks gorgeous and sounds great. Played it for about 3 weeks and its only needed re-tune once in that time so has held tune very well! It's a solid build with a good quality finish. Nice and easy to play with a low action. It has a 3 position switch. 2 volume controls and 2 tone controls. It's quite weighty but nothing ridiculous. Overall a fantastic guitar with great functionality aswell as looks! Very happy with purchase. I would recommend to others and buy again!

I’m not sure how they make such amazing guitars. It’s such a low price but I’m glad they do. We are living in the golden age of high-quality affordable guitars. This is absolutely no exception. The guitar arrived in perfect condition with no scratches or blemishes. Everything was set up, reasonably well, and will only need a small adjustment for my own personal preferences. The pick ups sound good and are pretty well. Rounded not too cold not too hot but of course that’s subjective. The string action was well set and properly intonated. I was surprised that there wasn’t any fret buzz for a guitar in this price range and that was shipped in the winter and probably spent a long time in the cold before it got to me. Lucky me. You never know. I recommend Leo Jaymz guitars in general and their kits are amazing too and don’t take long at all to build.

Lovely guitar. I think this guitar is worth every penny: it looks beautiful and plays beautifully straight from the box. Amazing guitar for me.

Leo Jaymz SC style guitar - I had been looking at these guitars for quite a while. When I saw the guitar on Amazon most recently - just before Christmas - the one I ordered (Green/Black) was on sale. This was the time! Despite a few reviews that were not terribly complementary, the positive reviews outweighed the less positive ones by a big margin - besides, I saw an interview with Leo Jaymz on YouTube and was impressed with what he wanted to do insofar as building and selling guitars. Given that the guitar had travelled a long distance, I did have a bit of a concern re damage, however, when I lifted the lid on the box and saw the very substantial Styrofoam inner packing my concerns were substantially lessened. When I did pull the guitar out of the heavy-duty bag, I was extremely pleased with the look and finish of the guitar. I then examined the frets and the tuners. The frets were finished beautifully. No sharp edges and they were chamfered nicely along the side of the fretboard. I could comfortably run my fingers up and down the neck. The tuners were solid and there was no wobbling of the turnkeys. The bridge and tailpiece were also better than expected. Ok, time to plug it in! WOW! Fantastic tone. Straight neck and the action is very nice. The pots all seemed solid and worked as they were supposed to. I was even prepared to change the strings immediately, but I didn’t. The guitar sounds great and looks great - 100% happy. Can’t wait to show to the folks in my band. For me; truly a 5/5. Thanks Leo Jaymz.

Great guitar for the money I have owned 2 Gibson Les Paul's in the past and this guitar is as good as or even better with regard to looks, finish and playability for a fraction of the price but, there are three things to be aware of for anybody who is thinking of buying one. 1. The bridge pickup ring is fitted the wrong way around which causes the pickup to tilt unnatural into the centre of the guitar. This is easily fixed by loosening the strings and removing the four fixing screws and turning the ring into proper position. 2. The dimension of the guitar body is smaller by 3/4 inch when compared to a Gibson. It should be 18 inches which is actually in the the specs on the Leo jaymz website. This is not going to be a problem for most people but if you need to fit a bigsby trem like I wanted to it's a no no. 3. The last problem is more serious, when you select both pickups together then roll off the volume for the bridge the neck cuts out completely, also in the centre position both volume knobs some how does something not quite right with regard to the treble at the top and bottom end of the dial. To fix this I am going to fit a new wiring harness with larger 500k pots which will make the guitar even more comparable to a Gibson.
