FRET ISSUES

Unfortunately, the frest 14 and 15 in G string (3rd string) is busying not allowed to play the notes. QC is fake

Ok but needs some work

I ordered this guitar from Romania and it arrived in only 8 days, with decent packaging, although there was a pretty sizeable ding in the top of the headstock and another one on the corner of the body, which would suggest the guitar was dropped on the headstock at some point. Out of the box the fretboard was quite rough and dry, though with some sanding and oiling it came out nicely. At least 7 of the frets were not seated all the way and were uneven which led to some buzzing. They were also rough. The strings were quite rusty and needed changing. The bridge came with the same kind of rough raw wood feel as the fretboard and required sanding. On the bright side, the finish was spotless and perfectly polished, the nut slots were cut cleanly and the string action was acceptable out of the box (3 mm low E, 2 mm high e). The tuners are smooth and consistent and the pickup does what it's intended. After setting the guitar up and fixing all the issues it plays well and sounds surprisingly good.

Summary: It's a good guitar but needs some serious work.
