CST-24T P90 Ocean Flame : Excellent, especially for the price

I am a beginner guitarist and was looking for something that was not too expensive to keep at the office as a secondary guitar for practicing during lunch time.

This guitar is put together extremely well and has no blemishes or defects out of box. It is an extremely attractive guitar and the blue FMT is very eye-catching. I assume it is a PRS clone. There is no pick guard but I think it looks better without one.

It was well set up out of the box with only a basic tuning required before I could play it. It sounds good unplugged which is how I expect to play it at the office most of the time. The P90s sound good both with and without distortion. Selecting the Neck, Bridge or both pickups had obvious impact on the tone. The controls are noticeably responsive for both volume and tone.

My minor knock is with the typical lesser quality tuning pegs on less expensive guitars. They work fine but having a higher quality guitar as well, I can feel the difference in easy it is to get a string dialed in. It might be worth an upgrade down the road.

I appreciate the neck shape and thickness a lot. My hands are not gigantic and this one feels right for me. I am still too new for soloing anything real so I cannot comment on speed or the like.

All in all, I am very happy with this purchase and feel I could recommend this guitar to someone looking for a decent practice guitar. I don't perform, not expect to, so I cannot say how it would be on stage.
