It's okay.

If ever a guitar needed a tone knob, it would be this one. Unfortunately, once the volume on the guitar is pushed past 5, it becomes very muddy. If you plan to actually use this guitar, I'm going to recommend getting yourself a proper EQ pedal first in your chain. It helps it a little bit, but not enough for my taste.

Other than that, the infamous grounding issue has been resolved if you've seen all of the videos around from a year ago and were worried that it might still be a QC issue.

The neck is sensitive, and takes a bit to get used to. Fretting your notes too hard pulls this out of tune every time. Be gentle with this one.

It looks nice, but I'm not sure it's going to get played much. I got what I paid for.

Had it for a year now

Guitar looks great with attractive price tag and I used it pretty much daily for almost a year.

It is comfortable to play, pickups are OK and even factory set up was pretty good.
When I got it only problem was the plastic wrap on the pick guard - screws were put through the plastic and some of it was caught in the neck joint, making it rather annoying to remove. But when it was all said and done - fully worth the price.

Even bought locking tuners for it and new string guides to make it even better. It worked like a charm until it didn't. Couple of months ago input jack just fell apart and one saddle block has decided to dip sideways, with a screw sticking out with thread seemingly gone, even tho i have not fiddled with it.
