RPS-7-MBK : Good value!

I own this guitar for one year now. So i decided to leave feedback.

PROS:

- looks - really classy and 30's vibe is definitely there!

- a real bone nut and saddle (suprising in this price range)

- tuners that actually works pretty well (no need to change, stable)

- long scale, authentic 1930's "boxy" sound, strong midrange, nasaly sound

- finish is nice to touch and well applied

- very nicely playing guitar, almost no fret buzz

- price - definitely good value for the money

- neck is straight, guitar is in tune on 12th fret (surprising) and the fretboard is actual wood

CONS:

- needs some adjustment to play better than out-of-the box: some fret-ends needed to be smoothed out, bone saddle was a bit high, so lowering it with a sandpaper led to lower string action

- needs a better strings than factory strings

- fretboard was a bit rough and dry, I smoothed it out with fine steal wool

- sound - do not expect much, it's a cheap guitar :-)

- fretboard decals are actually painted

SUMMARY

Nice looking stylish guitar with great looks and after some setup or upgrades really fine instrument - fun to play! Projects well!
