Amarok-BT EGNT Quilted Burst : Good value, but a few flaws

With the price in mind, this guitar is a pretty good deal for what it is.

Pros:

+Stainless steel frets

+Grover locking tuners

+Hipshot style bridge

+"Spokewheel" dual action truss rod

+Good looking IMO.

+EMG pickups

Cons:

-Terrible setup out of the box (easily fixed, but still)

-Neck was severely backbowed(fixed with trussrod and patience)

-13-62 strings are way too heavy for B-standard-drop A IMO.(fine for drop G)

-Some finish flaws here and there.

-Nut was cut really badly (would not stay in tune, and uneven string height at 1st. fret)

-Bridge won't intonate in B-standard or drop A with my preferred strings 11-56 for 27"(bridge is mounted too far back, works ok-ish with 13-62, It's gets "Close enough" though with 11-56).

-Frets were gritty and dull(fixed by polishing)

All in all, not too bad for the price. I recommend D'addario 11-56 on this in B-standard, but I did have to make a shim under the nut, and cut the slots better. After some work, it's a nice guitar.
