Okay, this is the first electric guitar I ever bought, it was some years ago, and I was excited.
Over the years, it got pretty worn down.
It is a nice guitar, everybody loves the pickguard, but the pickguard will get scratched up and be kinda ugly.
The pickups aren't bad, factory strings aren't either, but you have to upgrade the strings sometime.
It has a nice sound, nice paintjob, I wouldn't recommend any really insane wammies, it'll bend the neck, but it has an adjustable truss bar, which is nice.
Overall, nice guitar, I would recommend getting something in the price range that is better, though, maybe a used B.C. Rich ASM standard.

This was the first guitar I have bought .So dont take my review into consideration if you are an expert on guitars.I have not tried to play higher end guitars to know the difference yet.But if you have just started playing I found this guitar to be excellent.The only downfall it was easily scratched but excellent as far as sound

I bought this guitar after a couple of months playing on a borrowed guitar. I love it. It sounds great, stays in tune very well. The only issue i have had with it is the input jack gets a little loose quite often, but that's no problem. The factory strings are pretty good, but i managed to break one within a couple days of playing on it, overall great purchase.
