Good features considering the price. The guitar doesn't stay in tune when you use the tremolo bar, so avoid it ^^
I bought it one year ago and it is already in a pretty bad shape... Both pots fall down and they don't turn very smoothly. The toggle switch is becoming more difficult to use every time.
But, it's a cheap product. 7/10
UTILIZATION
Perfect for beginners! The neck is pretty fast.
Easy access to the upper frets.
The guitar is not too heavy and it's quite ergonomic.
9/10
SOUNDS
I'm a metal freak but I play clean sounds sometimes.
My amp is a Behringer V-Ampire.
- Clean sound:
Absolutely no sound character. The sound is not unpleasant, but it's totally neutral. ^^ 6/10 for clean sound
-Distortion sound:
OK for fat distortions, in spite of a lack of precision, power and personality. I later bought an ESP M-II (with SH-4 bridge) and it makes a huge difference, even though the GRG is OK for the price.
8/10 for distortion sound
Average grade: 7/10
OVERALL OPINION
I used it for about 10 months. I don't play it anymore but I won't sell it because it brings me good memories ^^ It helped me a lot during my first steps as a guitar player. I recommend it to beginners who want to play heavy metal. Excellent value for money.
Based on my experience, I wouldn't buy it again because it's a guitar for beginners.
