Do not buy this guitar. It is literally the worst guitar I have ever purchased. Kudos to zZounds for giving me a prompt refund. I would have picked up this guitar in a guitar shop it would have lasted a couple seconds before I put it back. The bridge, string set up, and headstock functionality are the worst I have ever seen. The bridge DOESN'T have saddles for the strings to firmly rest in. They just sit on screw threads. Sed wat!! I plugged it in and I don't think it sounded very good, but I was afraid to really play it for fear I would pull the strings off the bridge. This is about as close to a piece of crap as i have ever picked up. Like I said before, at least the dealer refunded my money, but it cost a lot to return ship it. Live and learn. hopefully this will help some of you folks.
