Published on 12/03/02 at 15:00I bought this Guitar from Guitar & Keyboard City, in Phoenix, for $399.99 about 2years ago.
I really like the crisp, crunchy sound out of the humbucker, and the smooth sound that i get from the neck pickup. It is probably one of the best sounding korean-made guitars that i've played.
The only thing i don't like about it, is the factory setup on the unit, the bridge is set way too high, and the factory strings are only .008-.042, so playing it in the store, it doesn't feel that great. my friend had one that was very similar; and with a little TLC, this guitar sounds excellent. the sound out of the middle pickup also sounds a little muddy, so i had to mess around with the tone controls to get it to sound good.
The actual body on the guitar looks very good, it is a transparent blue, and the pictures on the internet don't even come close to doing it justice. the neck/body joint looks really good, and tuners never go out of tune.
Overall, i have been very happy with this guitar, but due to a lack of versatility, it's probably better as a beginner guitar.
