CST-24T Ocean Flame : Great guitar, with great personality and a really strong sound

This guitar is really awesome if compared with the low price that costs.

First of all, let me say that this is not a PRS. I already owe a PRS and that's another instrument... but it has a totally different cost too.

For this CS24, we can say that:

1. it comes with a fantastic top, much more reflecting and lively coloured than it appears in the images posted here

2. the pickups are very loud and strong, and they hold a good sustain even at lower volume

3. the mechanics are solid, the guitar stays in tune

4. the bridge is strong and does not make the string lose the tuning

5. the strings are D'addario .10 very good

6. the feeling it gives to me is very similar to a PRS sensation

anyway, for the sake of truth we must point out some very little drawback:

1. the wood of the neck is similar to rosewood but the neck came wet with a dark colour paint, that in the beginning remained attached to the fingerprints; however, after a little cleaning with oil and wood polishers, it has disappeared

2. the action of the strings was initially too much low and needed to be easily adjusted with the truss rod

3. there are some flaw o paint at the edges of the top, in the point of attach to the neck, but almost invisible and negligible

4. the tremolo bar lacks of a stopping pin (PRS had one behind the bridge) so it can fall out if we pull up (but this is not a defect, since the original design of this guitar is just made as this)

Definetly not a perfect instrument, but very very impressive!

My advice is to buy it without thinking so much!
