Well built, does the job, it was playable out of the box and after minor adjustments it is now in great shape. Considering the price it is outright steal, if you want to learn 8 string then it is a perfect place to start.
My two small gripes with this one is rather harsh frets, but strings will polish them slightly over the time and also pickups aren't great. They are fine for home practicing but i would swap them if you want to record something higher quality, just bear in mind that 8 string fanfret pickups aren't common.
