This a comparison of the FG-441 guitar by an owner/player of a Fender Strat Deluxe, Gibson Les Paul, Reverends, and others.
The FG-441 is of the Fender Jaguar style equipped with generic P-90 pickups and a maple neck inlaid with a composite material fret board that has 142 LEDs embedded to correspond with each string's fret board orientation. The hardware of the guitar is unremarkable, the saddles operate well according to their design, non-locking tuners means getting proficient with knot tying the strings to the tuner post. The feel of guitar out of box is very respectably pedestrian - heavy gauge strings high over the fret board. Frets are perfectly finished to the composite fret board, the maple neck is attached tightly to the impressively finished body of the guitar. The finish on and dimensions of the neck are surprising good - between transparent (not yellow) satin and a little narrower and little deeper when compared with Fender's Modern "C" type neck - in all very comfortable. Desired sound qualities of electric guitars are subjective and easy alterable by electronic equipment. However the guitar's played notes seemed to resonate (sustain) longer, as claim by the manufacture due to the composite fret board, also the generic P90s can "punchout" very satisfactory. A string change to medium gauge .009-.042 and lowering of string height did NOT produce buzzing along the neck of the guitar. In all an above average $300-$400 guitar.
Does the learning to play from its LED fret board speed the learning process of guitar playing? Learning to play any instrument, even you musical progenies, requires determination, physical dexterity and most importantly the ability to memorize. With a highly developed memorization skill, musical patterns (scales, tablature) are readily available to be practiced either instrumentally or visually, resulting in enhanced instrument proficiency. Undeniably the Fretlight guitar and software interface offers its user a unique visual map (those LEDs) of musical patterns and songs that can be learned at the user's pace.
