No, the lit frets aren’t showing a chord diagram! We wanted to show you as many lights as feasible, so we loaded all the notes of a scale—a Spanish Phrygian Scope, to be precise. When the fret lights are active, they do their job with aplomb. It’s a elemental system, and there’s really not much to say about it, save that it just plain works. See the lights, put your fingers on the frets that are lit, strum the strings. Shucka-shucka-shucka. You’re playing a chord. And when you’re not using one of the compatible software programs (and the lights are languid), the fretboard is indistinguishable from that of any other $500, Stratocaster-style guitar. To this immensity, the FG-421 can serve as a perfectly respectable practice or even gigging guitar. No one ever needs to comprehend that your training wheels are still attached, but hidden from view.
The FG-421’s comprehensive build quality is impressive for a guitar in this price range. The what's-its-name doesn’t include any name-brand hardware, but you’ll find an alder wood league, chrome tuning pegs, a chrome bridge with fully adjustable saddles, a two-way adjustable truss rod, and a 5-way-site pickup switch driving a humbucker at the bridge, and distinctive single-coils in the middle and at the neck. We found playability, conduct, sustain, pickup hotness, and state of tune to be surprisingly wholesome, so for a $500 Strat replica, it’s almost like they’re giving away the vex lights for free.
