The guitar looks nice and the functionality is solid.
However, the pick guard is a printed texture "red pearl" which isn't a big deal. The deal breaker is the mirror-backed plastic piece that covers the volume knob and the cable jack. It looks like metal in the picture (and like every other guitar on the market, cheap or expensive, it should be). This piece of plexiglass is the Achille's heel of the whole rig. You have to hold it down to keep it from flexing too much when unplugging the guitar ...

I get that it is an affordable instrument, but that piece of plastic is going to break in a year or less, regardless of how much it is babied. If not for that, this value bass guitar would easily get five stars. A five inch piece of chrome metal was a weird place to "cheap-out" and swap in a junk plastic part.
