Published on 03/21/05 at 15:00i bought this guitar used at a pawn shop for $250 when i was young and stupid.
Well, it's an ALRIGHT beginner's guitar. not bad for learning. And it looks actually pretty nice.
wow, where do i start.
1 the pickups dont fit very well
2 the action is too high
3 the fret spacing seems a little small
4 it's WAY too heavy.
5. the balance is way off
6 its very easily breakable. you would think for something so heavy that the construction would be pretty solid....NOPE!
7 it comes out of tune every 5 seconds.
well like i said, it's too heavy. and it sounds bad. and its a little short. and the pickups wobble. and parts keep falling off (the nut just fell off during play once, and the toggle switch came off in my hands while switching. plus the tuner for the G string snapped twice until i finally replaced all the tuners with Grovers)
this thing just keeps falling apart.
Bottom Line...please never buy this guitar. It's been nothing but a problem for me. Unfortunately i've been forced to gig with it a few times...and i always wish i hadnt. this is just a REALLY bad guitar. like REALLY bad. like Rosie O'Donnel in a swimsuit bad
