DC-580 CH Vintage Series : Very very poor

8 years ago

Guitar arrived today and boy what a disappointment.

Tuners are very cheap and not accurate - guitar will NOT stay in tune.

One of the tone knobs was pressed tight into the body and was sitting 1/2 cm below the others.

I have two deep cuts on my index and pinky after 20 minutes of testing - the edges of the frets are razor sharp and badly finished.

Pickups are muddy and lacking in definition. Action was very high. A luthier inspected the guitar and told me it would cost around £100 to fix the mistakes but his advice was that it was unplayable and he told me to return it immediately.

I'm returning this for a refund and I regret ever spending the money on it...without a doubt the worst instrument I've tried in 30 years. How this ever got past quality control is beyond me.
