HWY-25BKS Progressive Series : Great guitar for very good price

Have had this guitar for over 6 months now and have decided to review it after being able to play for a while and get a good idea of how it plays and holds up. This is my first guitar but I have been playing the violin and been in a band for years so had a decent knowledge when beginning to learn. It arrived in good condition with only a small scratch on the headstock. It is very good quality and the matte black is very nice for the guitar. It is relatively heavy but this isn't too much of a problem and is not too bad considering the weight of many guitars out there. For the price, the body and neck are of a very high quality with a good whammy bar and knobs. The sound is incredible, especially for a guitar that is so cheap - very good for heavy metal music with great pickups. Overall, in my opinion one of the best beginner guitars for its price. A very cool looking, and good sounding cheap guitar.
