Published on 06/26/01 at 15:00I bought it at MusicYo for $70. It's my first guitar, so I wanted a cheap one.
Unamplified, this thing sounds better than just about any other electric I've heard. Amplified, it's significantly better than a $600 Les Paul I played at a friend's house. It sounds a LOT better than $70. It's on a par with some $400 or $500 instruments.
I play hard, and the low action makes it so I buzz the lowest string all the time, even after adjusting the truss rod. Most people shouldn't have this problem. My cousin plays Nirvana without buzz on this thing. And if you do buzz, it doesn't come through when it's amplified unless you really give that last string a whack.
I'm klutzy, and this thing has survived near unscathed from close encounters with doorframes, office chairs, and falling cabinets. It has one nick in the back from the cabinet. My one complaint is that the jack came a little loose, but it doesn't take long to screw it back in, and that only happened because I plug and unplug it once or twice a day.
It's cheap, it sounds good, and it plays well. If you don't have a grand burning a hole in your pocket (who does?), this is a good buy. For the money, it's definitely a five.
