Best les paul alternative for the money

Arrived to US safely in good condition, no sharp frets, the action is low and is almost in tune out of the box. Only drawbacks I have are there some cosmetic issues like the binding painted over, headstock inlays were also slightly painted over, tiny pits on the body that are hardly noticeable and gold layer of the tailpiece mounting studs somewhat worn off even though I never touched that part at all but that's is okay because that can be replaced later on. Overall I love the finish and it plays and sound great!

To make it even better

Lovely guitar and excellent value for money but can be improved by sending out an instruction sheet so that the action can be setup to the player's requirements.

For example the method of setting the individual string height and adjustment of the tailpiece to advoid the strings rubbing and pivioting on the bridge and not the saddles.

Nice quality, looks great, plays great

I had to level some of the frets but that is common with any guitar.

Awesome single cut

Arrived very quickly. Needed some decent setup (some truss adjustment, bridge height, and intonation), but other than that no crazy cracks or sharp frets.

Parts and looks are high quality.

Great guitar, surprisingly great pickups

Really enjoying this guitar. The quality control was topnotch and the tesla pickups sound much better than expected.

amazing value

You get a lot for your money with this guitar. It sounds as good as it looks, and it looks great. Only some small adjustments, and it plays great too. Personally, I'm going to change the tuners, not that there is anything wrong with the included ones, just that I want the gold hardware throughout.

worlds beyond what i was expecting.

the finish is striking out of the box. seriously blew me away. so far i've only ever had to tune it the once. so it stays in tune. no real noticeable blemishes, or issues. my favorite part is the neck. i love the cut away on the back of the neck for higher fret access. i dont know a whole lot about tesla pickups, but they absolutely do their job. will buy again.
