The guitar is very poor quality for the price. I wouldn't even reccommend it to beginners, as it's quite difficult to play and comes with fret buzzes and other inconveniences right out of the box. Harley Bentons cost way less and offer much more, stay away from these.

Not great

Okay, it's cheap, but I got mine after a week and when I took it out noticed a few things: every single fret had rough edges. Not one was properly filed and finished. The paintwork at the neck joint was poor. It looked like paint had just been blobbed in after the neck had been fitted. The nut seemed reasonably well cut, but tye bridge and therefore the action was too high. The fret board was very dry and pale. I expected to have to do some work, and had lemon oil and fresh strings ready and planned on filing the bridge to set the action, tidying the frets and fitting new strings, but there was far far to much needing done to justify the work, so I'm returning it.

For the record, it doesn't sound bad really. Boxy as expected, but also bright. If it had been finished better, I probably would have kept it
