Quality dip.

Bought a cherry model and it was top class. Small prob with nut but easy to fix. I gave it to my son. Happy. So I bought the gold top and came across an angled neck pickup due to the routing being out and the scratch guard was chipped and the supporting screw was embedded in the paintwork. Still love it though and always remember what value they are. Btw plays lovely. Worth a bit of tlc.

Looks cool but has some issues

Looks amazing! Really good looking guitar. Sounds nice, but I changed Roswell pickups for an EMG set and now it sounds awesome!! In general I like it very much BUT frets need to be polished of course. Unfortunately I can’t do it by myself, so will use the guitar with some additional buzzing on low action. And also vintage kluson style tuners were not good at all, so I changed them for a set of expensive locking tuners. I like the wood work. Besides, It has true maple top. And I like how they did all the cavities and cutouts in the body, they are neat and clear. It was also painted very neatly. But don’t like electronics in it. Very cheap small potentiometers. And I don’t now why, maybe someone just made a mistake, but linear and logarithmic potentiometers were installed in reverse, they used A-pots for a tone. And on one pot, under knob, someone forgot to instal a washer before screw… So, again, in general it’s a very nice good looking guitar for 170 Euro. Comfortable and good sounding. But the fret work is not great, unfortunately.

Great guitar for a low price

The guitar is well made and looks good, but it does have a couple of minor flaws. Firstly, the 2nd and 3rd strings emit a ringing sound if you press them at the 5th-8th frets, this is not critical and is not audible at high volumes. Secondly, the color of the guitar is not quite gold, it is more reminiscent of bronze. Otherwise, the guitar is very good considering the low cost.
