R-457 BK Progressiv Series : Great for the price!

11 years ago

The build quality of this guitar is brilliant. I'm quite impressed! You expect a guitar at this price range to be extremely substandard but I can say this definitely isn't the case here!

Where do I start. Well maybe first I should start with the only bad point I have found. The quality of the pickups is not great. The sound is fairly muffled. I found that changing to my trusty Elixir strings helped a little. The other problem with the pickups is the amount the sequel. It's like the sort of feedback you get from a stratocaster. The volume knob doesn't really solve this problem either. I will say though I am facing my amp and I haven't gigged it yet.

I could go on and on though about how good it feels to play. The action is smooth, the components are of a good quality, it feels solid. It's just a good guitar for the price. I have had Gibsons and Fenders and I can honestly say it plays better than some of them.
