Well, you see I bought this guitar from a music store called Giovvani's for around 300 dollars. I wanted a good beginer guitar that i could basically learn how to play an electric.

Let's see, I liked the way the guitar was put together, pretty durable (having dropped it a few times with nothing more than a scratch). The tone of the guitar was perfect, and I really liked the neck. It wasn't too fast or hard to move your hand around.

I didn't like the the tone controls...they really didn't have any sort of effect on the sound....Also, the neck was a bolt on, which i didn't like either. It didn't stay in tune very well, but like I said, I only bought it to learn.

The constuction was very good, not sloppy or poorly finished. VERY durable, because once my strap fell off while I was playing Fat Lip by Sum 41 onto the concrete floor and the only damage was, well, nothing!

If you want to learn how to play electric, BUY THIS GUITAR! It is easy to learn on and fun. But i strongly recomend that this guitar is not to be used for gigs or any of the sort. So, overall this is a great guitar to learn on, but once you get better i suggest a Gibson or a Fender. Peace.
