Published on 07/20/02 at 15:00I bought this guitar from Musicians Friend for about $140. I was just learning to play guitar and I needed to get a cheap yet reliable and good sounding guitar. I had played other guitars for about the same price, but they just seemed to be TOTALLY crappy sounding and were quite ugly too. I looked around and found this guitar highley recommended by many different sites and people so I decided to order from MF because of the sheer price difference. Most other places listed this guitar for about $250, which I was just not willing to play as a beginner.
This is a very sturdy guitar, it has a simple 2 knob control system (master volume and master tone) and a 5 position pick-up selecter. It also features good sounding pickups, including a hum-bucker, instead of just a cheezey slanted single pickup. The guitar does not even buzz when you are using overdrive and are not touching any strings, which is always a plus. It also comes with a screw in temelo arm, which sounds and works good (for a screw in type). The guitar also holds it's tune very well for not having a string locking system.
I have no real problems with the guitar except for the fact that it has a back feeding string system so you must fish the string through the back and try to get it in the hole of the bridge, unless you want to remove 6 screws to take the plate off.
This is a very high quality guitar, with a GREAT Paintjob. It can take bumps and dings without splitting or cracking at all. The paintjob is also a multi-layer finish so it is very hard to scratch the paint off and is almost impossible to scratch it with your pick.
All in all this is your best bet for a guitar weather you are a beginner or an intermediate guitar player or anywhere in between.
