First of all, I'm pretty sure you can't get a better guitar for this price. I'm not a professional, but I've been playing guitar for several years, so I wouldn't consider myself a total beginner. I've also played some mid-range guitars and own several bass guitars, so I do have some experience when it comes to quality.
The guitar looks pretty decent. The black and silver color scheme pairs perfectly with the light-colored wood neck—pretty dope. The built-in effects are amazing. The reverb could be a bit stronger, but the overdrive and distortion are very good—not to mention the distortion + reverb combo, which is really legit. I'm not saying it's better than a dedicated effects pedal with tons of options, but for this price, it's impressively compact.
I'm more into bass guitar, but I really wanted to play some guitar solos and riffs, and for that purpose, this guitar is the best I could get. The fretboard could use a bit of polishing to make string bending smoother, and in some cases, the strings produce a slight buzz—but I'm pretty sure that's just a matter of a few tweaks to the truss rod.
Overall, I was able to play for several hours right out of the box—after a quick tuning, of course, which took about a minute.
