Pleasantly suprised

Just received mine, i had played around with one in the store and thought it wasnt bad (minus the mile high action) but of course it was the only one in the area so i ordered one, right out of the box it needed a slight truss adjustment and tuned up (as most shipped guitars will), 1st impression was i didnt know if I'd like the color or not but after awhile i kinda like it, its different for sure. The frets didnt feel scratchy but a tad rough on the fret ends but mild, fit and finish overall is good, neck is a little on the slimmer side (which would be good for a younger or smaller person) but its comfortable, its a smooth satin finish (which i prefer), plugged in i was expecting to hear alot of noise but its actually fairly quiet even with alot of gain (more on this shortly), it has the strat sound and clean sounds great, now i ran it through a boss metalcore pedal and noticed the humbucker is a bit thin sounding and gets fizzy on alot of gain (i know alot of people arent buying this for metal though!) but it was fixed with some eq tweaking. Overall i own over 20 guitars and bought this on sale on a whim, but that being said, its a fun guitar and you could do alot worse at this price point, would make an excellent beginner or backup guitar or even a good modding platform. Ive played a few at this price range that should've served as firewood....this one will be going on the stand and not the fireplace!

    A great beginners guitar right out of the box!! Some reviews state the frets are a bit sharp but my frets were smooth and easy on my hands.

  • Works out good. Like playing it

    I bought this to have a guitar that stands out and boy does it ever! The only minor issue I have is the metal frets cut my fingers the first time I played it. It sounded great out the box!

    Out of the box the guitar had sharp frets and the intonation needed minor adjustments. String height/action was spot on. Under the pickguard I discovered it is routed for three humbuckers which really makes this a great guitar to mod!
