I posted a quick demo the other day, but this is the full review! These are amazing guitars.

$799 plus shipping! Since I did content for them they let me give $50 discounts to people. If you’re interested!

I just got a stratstyle from them a month ago.
Roasted quartersawn maple neck, stainless steel Jescar frets, Gotoh 510-style bridge and locking tuners…
Delivery/build time was about 3 months.
Can hang with my Suhrs, Schecter NJ Custom Shop etc.
Impressed!

This was a neck they did heavy roasting on, so it is very dark as you can see.

Been watching this take shape for a while on FB. Looks like a really nice axe!

What did that cost, all in?

13000 NOK (Norwegian kroner)
Mine was custom ordered, so I think more expensive.
don't think the "Standard" version has stainless steelfrets or the heavy roasted neck.
Also the pickups are different.

Yep! They can sure hang with those brands for sure. I had a shijie and Suhr at the same time. Suhr obviously the better guitar, but could hang for sure.

Yep! My STE awhile back was around $1100 usd. Had stainless steel frets and Gotoh locking tuners.

they are $799 plus $99 shipping. I didn’t get the gig bag but that’s an extra $80

Pronounced "Su-jay" by the way.
Watched Vinai T's YT video demonstrating it and learned that

Yeah…I should know better I’m half Japanese and hate it when people mispronounce my name. They’re sending their strat to me next month to review, so I’ll make sure to pronounce it correctly!

Hi jkaneshiro23, I completely agree with you that Shijie guitars are the finest electronic guitar on the market by its features, look, and its sound quality.

I'm not sure that's what he actually said...

Hmm... possibly a spam post by user Montano?
