First off, this a very fun to play and highly portable guitar. I am really enjoying my purchase. But, having said that, there are some good things and some bad.
- The glitter red paint job looks quite beautiful, but don't look too closely or you might see a blemish or two.
- I had to spend a couple hours adjusting string and humbucker height. But, the internet and YouTube makes this job easier.
- The strings are old and cheap. I replaced them with DR Strings Pure Blues (10-46) and this guitar now sounds very mellow.
- The fretboard shows some sanding marks. I will have to sand it at the next string change.
- The tuners are rather cheap and took about three days to get them to hold their tone.
- The pickguard and pickup cover are cheap plastic and in need of a paint job (to cover the ugly logo).
- The humbucker sounds quite nice and is not an issue for regular playing.
I love playing this cheaply made guitar. It is great for easy pick up and practice as well as for fun with friends and outside playing. I am probably going to replace the tuners at the next string change as well as find an oil-based glitter black spray paint that goes well on plastic. It is far from perfect, but also far from expensive.
Update: I have been "improving" my guitar. I changed the screws (Maka - Amazon), the knobs (Metallor - Amazon), and the tuners (Metallor - Amazon). I spray painted the pickguard, humbucker holder, and truss rod cover (Testors Extreme Lacquer Blazing Black - local craft store). I also added a clip on tuner (D'Addario - Amazon), a wireless transmitter (Getaria 5.8 - Amazon), and a beautiful strap (Amumu -Amazon).
People may not like spending money on a cheap guitar. But, now it looks fabulous and plays beautifully (after adjustments). This guitar is well worth a little extra love.
