I bought this as my first electric guitar, and man did I make the right decision!
Out of the box, the guitar looks great. Everything is beautifully crafted and put together, the color and shape is awesome, fretboard feels really nice.
Sound-wise, there's nothing to complain about. Strings feel pretty nice, pickups do their job really well and it sounds great put through the ProCo Rat.
This may be the BEST guitar for someone starting out or switching from acoustic to electric, like me! :D
