the guitar does look good, but thats about it. the one i got as a defect on the front which was badly masked with a black marker. i could have fixed that myself better. there are other small defects here and there as well. the guitar tone and volume sound weak compared to my other guitars. even tryed to rise the pickup.. but still not good. string action is bad and high, even if it can be lowered at the bridge it doesnt help much. strings are to high at the neck. otherwise, solid/straight good looking guit. gonna need ALOT of work to get something good out of this
