Good for the price

I have had this guitar for I think 9 months and it is good for the price. I have changed the fretboard with my old squires and installed locking tuners plus a floyd rose locking nut and it still went out of tune.

But I have had numerous hours with this guitar, practicing and stuff after all it's a good guitar for the price, but you will be frustrated with how much it goes out of tune. The sound is nice tho.

The price and look are the only pros. I'm not very experienced but it doesn't sound like a strat. I have not played one but just according to my listening experience. I'm only using a Boss Katana Mini though.
The biggest con for me was the sharp edges on the frets. It hurts my hand and prevents me from playing it fully. As I'm not very handy I've damaged the fretboard while unsuccessfully trying to file the edges.
Also, it doesn't hold the tuning very well.

Good *for the price*

This is a decent starter guitar. It is on par with the lower-end Squire strats for half the price. Pickups sound better than I would expect for a guitar in this price range, and the humbucker puts out a decent amount of output.

Delivery to the US was fine and the guitar arrived in good shape. Intonation and action were way off, and needed to be set up before playing.

The main issue with the guitar is that it doesn't stay in tune very well. The tuners and nut are quite poor, which probably contributes to this. I would plan to replace both of them if you want to play this guitar frequently.
