RGA42FM-BLF : Decent, but mediocre for metal

I am a beginner level player and bought this guitar a year ago for metal.

Pros:

-Looks great

-Very light

-Quality metallic parts

-Well set up and easy to play out of the box

-Intonates well with heavier gauge strings

Cons:

-Small manufacturing defects. Small bump in the body's white outline, headstock's face wood got unglued at a corner, nut came loose, but no big deal for me

-Very easy to damage the body because of its light build

-Flat high gain sounds. Not sure if it's because of the light wood used in the crafting of the guitar or because of the pickups. I will replace the bridge pickup with a Black Winter and update if possible.

-385 euro is a bit expensive for what it offers, at least for my needs. It's probably fine if all you want is clean or low gain sounds, but then again I never use it that way.

Tl;dr Looks and plays great. If you want high gain sounds or a guitar that can take physical abuse, you should probably look elsewhere.
