It's A Fine Guitar For The Price
I read the 1 star review and figured I should write a review also. I'm not experienced by any means and am probably a below average player, but I have fun. I also own an Epiphone Les Paul and a Squire Telecaster. This is a $ guitar, so what are you expecting? It's perfectly fine for a beginner or less experienced player. I wouldn't sound any better on a $ guitar. I put on new strings and a new pickguard and I really like the look and sound. So I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
Buyer Beware Do NOT Buy
I wish I could send this back! The nut across ALL strings was cut way too low. You couldn't get .008 under the 1st fret. Sweetwater sent a replacement Graph Tech nut & it is .006 unsized so I to shim it going from body to neck. The original nut was .134 & Graph Tech is .128. The fretboard was sanded incorrect & can NOT be set dead flat no matter how much you mess with the trussrod. From the 15th fret to the 21st it slowly increases to .032 of a gap. That is 1/32"! There is ONLY a 1 way trussrod. Cheaper guitars for less money give a 2 way trussrod! The frets are so bad there is fret buzz everywhere & the notes choke out. The body is ONLY 1-1/2" & the routing is rough! The blade style switch will NOT fit without routing the body out. Cheap small pots with the circuit board 5 way switch. Everything was loose & had to be tighten. The pickguard had to be filed 1/16" wide & 1/32" height to fit aftermarket pickups. There was a QC sticker which made me laugh! Do NOT buy or you'll regret it!
