This guitar has utterly annihilated my understanding of what good guitar is. It looks great but cheap, has average frets, the bridge is weird and has almost no contact with body, machineheads are average, pickups are cheap, it is made of plywood....perfect recipe for thrashy axe. BUT.......
It will be hard to go back to normal guitar as this sound soooo good. Guitars if you compare them to this one sound like banjos. So if you like banjos it is ok. This is whole new universe of sound. Unbelievable! I already have 2 of those. I sugest changing strings to 11-56 if you like shreding. If not those strings are perfect. One of the cheapest guitars I have but it is great.
