Great bang for the buck

This guitar plays and feels like a Charvelle that costs at least 1000€.

Even the pickups that are kinda there to be changed into some brand pickups aren`t bad at all so they`ll stay for now.

Roasted maple, stainless steel frets, amazing hardware, and that beautiful golden color.

It also comes with a gigbag.

Just amazing.

P.S. It came with an amazing setup too and was in tune, so everything worked great out of the box.

A Super-Versatile and Supremely Playable Instrument

I love the pickups, neck, tuners, fit and finish. It's a fine-playing guitar. The trem is a bit stiff, but still very nice. I've played a 12-song set with this guitar and not had to tune it. That's pretty amazing. It's a great option if you need a super-strat-type guitar with 24 frets. I don't know of another option that meets the standards of this guitar for the same money.

Fantastic guitar for any guitarist!

I do not like to buy guitars when I haven't tried them so I saw this as a risk, especially because I do not know if the neck feels right in my hand, I do not know how it sounds, and also at this price point I would expect a few problems as well. Luckily all these problems were to an issue when I got the guitar because it ticked all the boxes that I expected it to and more!

As a fan of thinner necks especially the Charvel DK24, I was worried that the neck would be too thick however it was very similar to my charvel, just a few millimetres thicker! It is super slick and looks amazing. I got this guitar for single coil tones as I have never owned a guitar with single coils and these Tesla pickups sounded perfect! The bridge pickup handled gain pretty well despite it being lower output than most other humbuckers, and the single coil tones were pretty sweet as well! The tuning stability is also amazing with the locking tuners and Wilkinson bridge.

The only problems that I had were that were the strings that came with it were oxidising but thats an easy fix cause by replacing them!

Overall I believe that if you want a great guitar for an absurdly low price I cannot recommend this guitar enough!
