Really cool guitar for the money

Evilalve 01.09.2024

So... Let's get started.
The first thing I noticed was that the guitar was packed pretty well, so nothing broke off in shipping.
Shipping from Germany to the US took 2 days. I have more often than not had longer shipping to the US.....
There are no complaints about the workmanship. Paint is even, fingerboard is even, fretboard is steel. Groover pickups. Electronics are not bad, soldered correctly. Tesla pickups are Korean, electronics are also Korean. The guitar has D'addario strings installed. The nut is plastic, easily replaceable with bone, when changing strings.
As to me, the guitar will be on the same level with options for 400-500$. But steel frets and pickups are better for me (but it's a matter of taste).
The guitar is definitely worth money, I can recommend it to everyone

What a machine

LukeP123 20.05.2025

I ordered this to fulfil my esp ii eclipse dream but I didn't have the budget and to be truthful this thing sounds HUGE the TESLA pickups sound amazing and the finish is immaculate, and the neck is darker than in images so it's pretty much all black and gold it's overtaken my fender and epiphone as my #1 guitar in my collection for jamming, noodling at home and gigging, I would recommend it to anyone, it can pretty much do it all

Ich empfinde diese Gitarre als besonders Ästhetisch.Ein Optisches Meisterwerk

Lehrer Lämpel 28.08.2024

Mein Kauf begründet sich ursprünglich im Wesentlichen, auf die Optik. Das matte Anthrazit, die Bindings und die goldfarbenen Humbucker und Regler haben es mir angetan. Um so mehr war ich erstaunt, daß die Gitarre über meine Stage Pass 400 einen angenehmen und satten Sound hervorbringt. Ein günstigeres Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist kaum vorstellbar.
