39 Inch Full Scale Electric Guitar Basswood Body Roasted Neck

In this review of the 39 in full scale electric guitar from FOJILL the bottom line is simple: it is a well-made, playable instrument for hobbyists, learners and modders who want good value and stable setup. The guitar prioritizes playability and stability through carefully selected woods and parts, a roasted maple neck for stability and a genuine rosewood fretboard for smooth feel. Customers repeatedly praise its tremolo bridge and overall sound quality, so anyone seeking a ready-to-play, project-friendly solid body will find a lot to like here.

Key Features

• Playability-focused setup: The factory action is lowered for easier fretting and most players report comfortable feel right out of the gig bag.
• Roasted maple neck: Heat treatment improves dimensional stability and brings out a clear, attractive grain that stays consistent in varying humidity.
• Genuine rosewood fretboard: The rosewood offers natural grip and tonal warmth and holds frets well compared with pressed or fake alternatives.
• Basswood body: The slightly heavier basswood gives a bright, balanced tone that complements single coil pickups well.
• Bone nut installed: The bone nut transfers vibration more cleanly than plastic and can be lightly sanded for a lower string height if desired.
• Bolt-on neck joint: The simple bolt-on design makes neck angle and action adjustments straightforward for setups or future upgrades.

Who It's For

This guitar is best for beginners who want a full scale instrument with a playable setup, hobbyists who enjoy a project guitar they can customize, and gigging beginners who value a stable neck and good tonal response from a solid body. The included gig bag and manageable 39 in scale make it convenient for practice, lessons and light travel.

Players seeking a premium, ready-to-stage instrument with flawless cosmetics or a factory-finished high-end fit and finish should look elsewhere. There have been reports of sharp fret ends and minor surface scratches, which are fixable but mean this is not aimed at collectors expecting pristine condition.
