DC-600 VI Vintage Series : Not What I Expected

I've been buying inexpensive guitars to modify. I thought, OK, I'll give this one a looking over. First off, right out of the box, it was ready to go. No set up necessary for a quick play and opinion. My first negative was the tuning. Dang, this thing wouldn't tune up to save my soul. The tuners were garbage. I replaced them the next day. Then I said, I'm swapping the electronics and pickups. Nope, didn't do it. This thing has Rockwells, which I'm not a fan of, but these are going strong. Great sound and flexibility. The finish was clean and spotless. Knobs have the right resistance for me. Frets are smooth and clean. Overall, I'm not modifying it. I put the tuners on, that's it. So, for around 250 bucks, I've got a pretty decent sounding guitar. Would I gig with it? Probably not until I get really used to controlling three volume knobs with only a three way switch. Complex, but fun at the same time. For the price, it's a great guitar. I'm having so much fun with it. No regret purchasing this device. The gold looks great against the off white paint. If I get bored and want a challenge, I may swap the pickups and put in a five way switch. Until then, no changes. Solid guitar.
