A versatile singlecut guitar for a reasonable price
Silvio Jc. 19.10.2019
This is my first LP styled guitar, and I've chosen it for its versatility. The coil tap ability is helpful, and you can get a wide range of tones with it. From blues to drop D metal - it works.

Visually, I love it, but I have to say that the finish is darker in real life than it is on the picture.

The neck is comfortable, and fretting is well done. I researched for months, and I don't think you can buy a better guitar of this type, for the same amount of money or lower.

Feels great, sounds great.
Sawtooth Enjoyer 07.04.2023
For context I'm not an experienced guitar player and I can only compare this to a cheap Yamaha Pacifica I had, and a vintage Stratocaster (which wasn't mine). This is now my only guitar, and feels and sounds better than the above two. (To be fair to the strat, it probably needed some TLC.) The action was set quite high out of the box so I have lowered it a bit (and re-did the intonation). The bridge is easy to adjust. The fretboard just feels easy and comfortable to play, and it looks great. Sound-wise, it sounds thick, mellow, very pleasing. I'm very happy with it and will not buy another guitar soon.

It lost one star for quality because the coil split knob is a bit dodgy and sometimes the audio cuts out when you pull the knob out. It's probably a simple case of cleaning the contacts there but I haven't bothered with it since I mostly use it in humbucker mode anyway.
