It's a very nice guitar, especially for the price. While it does have a couple of minor issues (one of the bridge pickup screws is sticking out about 1/4 inch for some reason, and the ferrules on the back are unevenly spaced), they don't affect playability. The guitar is a looker, I have the "yellow" one (actually butterscotch or caramel would be a better description) & the wood grain is very attractive. Fit & finish, while not flawless, are very good. Neck is a little chunky, but I like that so ...
It's a very nice guitar, especially for the price. While it does have a couple of minor issues (one of the bridge pickup screws is sticking out about 1/4 inch for some reason, and the ferrules on the back are unevenly spaced), they don't affect playability. The guitar is a looker, I have the "yellow" one (actually butterscotch or caramel would be a better description) & the wood grain is very attractive. Fit & finish, while not flawless, are very good. Neck is a little chunky, but I like that solidity. The tuners are good enough & hold tune (might replace them at some future date). I don't like the string trees, but they are the standard bent metal kind you even get on expensive guitars. The nut is plastic, but decently cut. Intonation is good out of the box. Brass saddles are nice. The bridge is string-through, but also looks like it should work as a top loader as there are 6 holes in the end of the bridge. Pickups are good, especially the warm neck humbucker. The bridge single coil is a bit weaker, so I might replace that one, but again no rush. I did lower the action & raise the pickups, as I probably would on most guitars. It plays well, & has a kind of "mojo" that not all guitars have. This is curently my favorite guitar (but it's my newest, so that may change). I'd say for a beginner it's good enough...if I had started on this one I think I would be a lot better now. It's not perfect, but it is very good & I like it a lot. Also gives you a little bit of that "Keef" vibe.
