Custom Line CLA-15MCE : bang for the buck

Great product for the price, I am really happy with this. Does not sound or feel like a 2k guitar of course, but definetly beats or ties other 2-3 times the price. The preamp/tuner is handy, although of course entry level. There's nothing really wrong about this instrument, except that it needs a proper setup to be playable, so if you are a beginner keep that in mind: you are going to need either a guitar tech or a friend to lower the bridge at least. The action out of was extremely high, making it a pain to play with 012 (both out of the box and with Elixirs). The mechanics seem good so far, the nut height is maybe not perfect but decent out of the box (and that depends on your play style). I didn't need to move the trussrod. No dead spots.
