Plays well once setup with a low action the hardware and frets feel great and will take some abuse the only downside is the weak pickups which will be changed at some point but overall a good guitar for the money!

Good guitar for the price

This is really good and solid instrument. The guitar plays great, have dissent sound, and stays in tune even with the usage of the Wilkinson termolo. It can be compared to more expensive guitars.

A lot of guitar for the price. Recommended for all users, not only beginners.

Good one

Great guitar. Pickups are a bit soft sounding, good for clean and overdriven tones, for distortion not so much (to my taste). Qulaity was perfect.

Poorly set up

I bought this guitar because on paper it looked great. Indeed the guitar itself looks brilliant. The roasted maple fretboard is very beautiful. It is matt finish, it looks like it needs a polish on the fretboard side.

I returned the guitar because it was basically unplayable out of the box. The frets were very rough, the pickups were attached unevenly, the volume knob was squint. All of these issues can be fixed by a guitar tech, but I was disappointed at the idea of taking the guitar straight for repair out of the box. It made me lose faith in the overall quality of the product and I wonder what other issues would have come up if I'd continued playing it.
