GRG121DX-BKF : For those about to rock... I salute you!

This my very first electric guitar. At the time of writing I have owned it for about 2 years. I play it 2-3 times per week on average. The guitar is very reasonably built. You really get plenty of guitar for the money. The only improvement which you should do after a several months is to swap the strings depending on the music you like to play. It will improve your learning curve. I have the satin black version. It does not keep a lot of finger prints. However several times I scuffed the coating as I was unwinding the guitar cable and the marks are really visible. I wish I bought the wooden version that would just deform without showing discoloration. The pick-ups are midrange and OK. They will get you a long way before you know what want and are ready to purchase a higher end model, or replace them yourself. Tuning wise the guitar neck and tuners are sturdy and I do not need to check them more than once a month. Last but not least the guitar looks sexy. It's the one and only reason why sometimes I cannot walk past by it in my living room. It just screams at your face - Come and play me! And this is pretty much how good tunes are born. Just do it and you will also enjoy the dopamine rush.
