B-550 White Progressive Series : good

I've had it for around 1.5 months at the time of writing this review. It came set up well. I only had to fix the intonation on the highest string. Fret ends were not sharp either. Guitar stays in tune well. Not a lot of fret buzz even with a very low action. I don't see any problems with it except that there is a slight rumbling noise coming from inside the body when plucking open strings hard, possibly something loose but not that bothersome and it doesn't get picked up by the pickups. The neck is nice and thin. The guitar is very light and well balanced, no neck dive or anything like that. The bass and treble controls still work even when the preamp is bypassed, which is a bit unusual. When played in passive mode, the signal is not as hot as when the preamp is engaged which is expected. As for the sound: The pickups sound a bit muddy in my opinion, I find myself boosting the treble and cutting the bass usually. Sounds good in the mix though. Overall, you can not go wrong with this guitar. It can simply not be beaten for the price you pay for it.
