Back to Product Information

Sound: It sounds good if you're playing a lot of rock, but only mediocre for anything else. Also, this was a big issue for me, at higher volumes, you get MAJOR feedback, which makes it impossible to play live or even with drums or other higher-volume instruments. Feature: eh...Well, the whammy bar (tremolo) is nice, but that's about it, other than standard volume/tone knobs. Quality: The finish is AWESOME! I got transparent red, which lets you see the beatuiful curly maple wood. Besides the electronics being cheap, yeah, i guess its okay. Value: hmm...the value is alright. If you even think of playing live or even really loud to make the neighbors mad, you need new electronics or it'll be lame. Manufacturer Support: Well, i just got it, never needed support, but the manual was helpful. The Wow Factor: Ookay, this may not be the highest perfromance piece out there, but you can't deny (ESPECIALLY with transparent finish so you can see the superb curly maple underneath) that this thing is sexy. I definately don't have to hang my head around chicks cause this thing is hott. Overall: well....I'm a beginner, it was either this or a Fender Stratocaster for me, i chose this cause Fender colors are lame...I like it, i'm very happy with it, but if you're very skilled...go with a gibson or something a bt higher-end.

Back to Product Information

Sound: It has a good agressive sound for heavy metal, but don't try it much with clean mellow sounds... It sounds a little better when I put some thicker strings on it. Feature: Not too bad, but the pickup switch makes noise when you're switching and mine doesn't work all that well on the Neck Pickup.. It feels like it gets stuck sometimes and you have to move it and even hit it a little bit for it to pickup the sounds again. Pretty much like said before, electronics are CHEAP! Besides that the body itself has a nice design... Quality: Do not use on stage or live... The pickup switch on mine messes up... Pretty much it's all the electronics fault.. The rest is pretty good. Value: For it's price, it's not too bad.... But don't buy it if you're going pro. Manufacturer Support: No comment. The Wow Factor: Yeah I can't deny... It's a pretty hot guitar... I was dumb when I bought it and I was blinded by its exterior.. Which is attractive... Maybe you can use this guitar just to be a poser and get chicks. Overall: It's not that bad... But I am not too satified with the electronics messin' up... It's not really that bad... It sounds great... But ya know that whole electronics makes it look really cheap..
