I love this little guitar. I bought it as a modding platform because I thought the body work looked nice. When it arrived, I was quite surprised just how good it looks. The woodwork is solid, the stain is even, and it came with a mirror shine right out of the box. I had planned to replace the neck with a more standard style, figuring how good could a neck on a sub one hundred dollar guitar be, right? , when I saw the quality of the work done, I was truly impressed.

I had planned to replace the neck with a more standard style, figuring how good could a neck on a sub one hundred dollar guitar be, right? , when I saw the quality of the work done, I was truly impressed. Level frets with the ends filed the right way. It really is solid work.
I did some minor set up, the intonation was close, as was the action. I turned the truss rod maybe 3/4 of a turn, and that was it, ready to go.
It plays beautifully. I love the tone of this guitar, even with the stock strings.
The only downside is the pickups are kind of weak and thin sounding. That said, even stock there is a fair amount of tonal control and some interesting sounds to be had here.
Out of the box, with a little set-up, this is a perfect beginner guitar. I wish these had been around when I started playing.
I would also highly recommend this to anyone looking to mod a guitar (cause seriously I am going to drop about 200 into it and it's gonna hold its own with the big boys)
I have already made a second purchase which I am eagerly awaiting.
