Published on 08/04/02 at 15:00Bought this from a local Ritchie's Music shop for around $300, I think.
The sound of the dual humbuckers is pretty good, and the guitar plays really easily. It has a sleek design, and it is very affordable. The sound and design of the guitar is meant for hard rock and metalish type of music, but it can be used to play blues effectively, also.
Once you get past the 14th fret, the quality of the tone (which is fair at best) plummets. The guitar falls out of tune fairly easily, and there is a lack of customizability with only a volume and tone knob and 3-way switching.
This guitar's construction is solid and stable. The tone and volume knobs can warp, though, and scrape the finish of the guitar.
Other than that, it is satisfactory.
The guitar leaves much to be desired, but you get what you pay for. This guitar is a pretty good deal for your money, and a good starting guitar for a beginning player.
