BS-20BK Rock Series : Amazing for the price!

8 years ago

My first electric guitar (I've owned 2 bass guitars so far) so I don't have much to compare it to but for the price I have very little to complain about.

The only things I'd consider as negatives are that the strings it came with were okay but nothing special. I re-strung it with a £7 pack of DR DDT-10's and it sounds great! Also I'd have preferred a thru-body tremolo-style bridge as I've heard they have better sustain than the Tune-o-matic bridge this has but it's fine for a beginner like me.

The meh is that it needed a bit of a set up, but that's fine as that can be needed on more expensive guitars too.

Pro's then. I can't find any faults with the finish, overall build quality is great and I love the design, practicality be damned! It's not too heavy and the tuners are fine and smooth. Sound is great too though I'm sure the humbuckers it comes with aren't the best, but again it's perfectly fine for a beginner like me. Finally the price, way better than I was expecting for this kind of money!
