MS-60 VW Vintage Series : Good value for your money but you will need to give it some love and care - once you do, it's a guitar that's worth 5 times the

So - the guitar rings quite well straight out of the box. Surprisingly resonant even without being plugged into an amp.

I like the sound of the guitar, it feels like a good middle ground between P90 and tele-single coils.

The neck was not glossy and has a minimal finish, probably one coat, which is quite nice. No grating fret ends. Some residue from the factory inside the truss rod entry - which you can clean. Rosacere is quite hard but I could still move quite fast on the neck.

This is my first shortscale and i'm astonished that I've never tried it before - it feels great.

You will want to give this guitar a good set up and some love:

Mine had a loose input jack - which I had to tighten. This happens with a lot of guitars, even when you buy it straight from a store.

I had to tighten one tuner which was not screwed all the way.

Some of the higher frets are quite un-even, depending on your desired action you might need to sand the frets down a bit. I would also recommend rounding them - as they come quite stiff.

The neck needed tiny adjusting - almost negligent, as the fret leveling was the main "issue".

Bridge, as we all know we cannot adjust the height of the saddles on this bridge - so you might need to file the metal to get the proper radius on the bridge.

Overall: good value for your money, and excellent value is you can prep the guitar.
