I bought one of these about 6 months ago for my son. It is his first guitar. First thing, this thing is heavy! It's a nice looking guitar with good finish. It has decent pickups with good sound and high output. Now for the problems that I've seen. Main one being lot's of broken strings, especially 4,5,and 6. First I thought it was how he was playing it but it turned out to be sharp edges on the tremelo block and the string saddles. I tryed using a dremel to round off edges but finally gave up and put a Wilkinson unit on it which solved about 90% of the problems. The other 10% can be blamed on the aggresive playing style of my future rock star! The fret edges are a bit rough too. I guess all in all, it's a good guitar for the price.

I got this guitar about 2 years ago it is my first guitar and I must say its very good, the sound is really good I can play the songs I like and the sound is very accurately and looks cool also. Now, the bad things. Its pretty HEAVY, your gonna need a good strap because if you play this for a long time stand up it can be painful, also, my E string (the thicker one) gets buzzing a lot when the string has a while of been placed. But in general its a pretty good guitar, although I think its Not good choice for your first guitar because of having 24 frets.

I got this guitar about a year ago at christmas. At first I was pretty excited about it, it was my first guitar and I loved it. After a year of playing, I still don't have any real complaints about it. The previous person to review this guitar was right, it is very heavy! If you're going to be jammin with some friends then you're going to want a very comfortable strap to hold it with, otherwise your body's going to be a little sore. As far as the playing goes, it plays very nice compared to some of my friends' guitars. Another con of the guitar, is that the string saddle is sharp on the high E string on mine, so after about 2 weeks of having the same strings on, the high E starts buzzing/ringing when you hit it.

Nice finish, easy to adjust to, but 24 frets probably isn't a good place to start out...

Overall a 3 of 5... pretty good for beginners, and sounds awesome for the price.
