actually mindblowing that this exists
Shervin 26.07.2024
the neck feels very similar to LTD EC-1000s
grover tuners feel great
strap locks were included even though not mentioned in the description
the fretboard is a lot darker than in the pictures which is perfect.
frets are shiny and smooth
pickups sound identical to my EMGs in other guitars.
the weight is very respectable but not backbreaking.
electronics feel smooth and everything is well grounded.
the only flaws i can mention are the plastic nut catching the string somethings while tuning, but a bit of sanding solved that.
the other issue was tiny paint spots on the binding and a tiny spot of excess glue, none of which are visible unless looking very closely

Amazing instrument
aimen666 16.07.2024
The build quality and playability are great, for this price I'm really amazed, there's some tiny imperfections but it's not big deal, i would throw some locking tuners and emg's in the future, but there's nothing to complain about..nice job 👌🏻

WOW
jonnyvanwillis 27.04.2025
My god what an instrument , it does all i wanted at such low cost it's unbelievable , i will change pickups due to preference BUT the stock are amazing too , as a first guitar it's unbeatable , i'm using it as a main gigging guitar for my punk and my rock bands through different marshall heads . Absolutely does soooo much more than guitars in the 500-750 price range , However the gold colour has started to rub off after 3 weeks of play but no harm really

Stunning
dan5745 16.09.2025
The guitar is stunning, it feels amazing, no issues with frets and the finishing looks great.

My only problem was the bridge pickup was not soldered well and it was losing signal when playing. Not a big deal for me, as I was planning to switch to EMGs anyway. But it might be a problem if you are not handsy with a soldering iron.
