I'm giving this 5 stars not because it's a 5 star guitar, because it's not. But for $130 it's amazing what you get that's why it's getting a 5 star review from me. Out of the box it needs alot of work to get it on any kind of decent playable state. I had to adjust the truss rod to put some relief on it. Conditioned the fret board and polished the frets. Put new strings on it and adjust the action and string height. Shielded the pickup and pot cavities and lubed the nut. After that she played lik ...
I'm giving this 5 stars not because it's a 5 star guitar, because it's not. But for $130 it's amazing what you get that's why it's getting a 5 star review from me. Out of the box it needs alot of work to get it on any kind of decent playable state. I had to adjust the truss rod to put some relief on it. Conditioned the fret board and polished the frets. Put new strings on it and adjust the action and string height. Shielded the pickup and pot cavities and lubed the nut. After that she played like a dream. No high or uneven frets or sharp edges of any kind. It's really light weight so you do get a but of a tin rattle when you crank the volume but overall the tones you can get out of this thing are pretty good. Everything on it is cheap. From the tuners to your bridge to the tremelo. The trem is really cheap and barely usable, it took forever to balance it and once I did it barely had any functional movement. You can get a little out of it but not much. I gave up on it and just anchored it down. Finish is very impressive at this price. Mine came with a 3 piece top and the middle piece was a shade darker, I love that but I can see some people hating it. Over all its a really good looking guitar. For a beginner or if your starting out learning how to wire, set up, or work on guitars this thing is great. It's also just a really really good cheap guitar.
