HWY-25BKS Progressive Series : Awesome value

6 years ago

When I got this guitar, I was happy to find that the guitar wasn't rubbish at such a price point. I was expecting it to only be good as a mod platform that would require many changes in order to make it playable but I was wrong. I didn't make any changes to the hardware because I didn't really feel the need to.

If I were to modify it, I would change the tuners so that the guitar stays in tune in low tuning. I'd also change the volume and tone knob as they weren't of high quality.

Pros:

- It looks awesome

- Great value

- Sounds decent

- Feels decent (thanks to satin finish)

Cons:

- Hardware is of low quality

- When trying to use the tremolo, mine couldn't stay in tune

- Toggle switch was quite stiff

If you wanna get the most out of the guitar, I'd suggest keeping it in one tuning, run entirely through the bridge pickup and secure the bridge. Using the guitar in this way is where I thought it was at its best.

Overall, amazing value!
