Great guitar at a great price
ADJetz 03.07.2021
I have a few complaints but for this price they are minor. Overall an amazing guitar. I swapped the stock 10 gauge strings for 9-46 as that's my preference.

Pros:
Sustain for days

Pickups sound great, the coil split works well and you get a nice single coil-esque sound for clean/overdriven stuff, anything higher gain and the difference is negligible, which is fine.

Neck feels good, feels solid and is a good shape, the satin finish is lovely.

Overall the guitar looks beautiful.

Cons:
Some sharpish fret ends especially past about the 15th fret on the side of the top strings. This can be rectified easily enough.

Pots are a bit scratchy, some contact cleaner should clear that right up.

I swapped the strap buttons for Loxx strap locks and when I removed one of the stock ones I could see a chip out of the finish from when the hole was drilled, this is covered by the felt washer however so not a huge issue.

Knobs don't seem to sit on the pots great, I adjusted them as well as possible.

The volume curve isnt flat, it goes from 0-60% with only a tiny twist then ramps up for the rest of the rotation, swells would be impossible.

The control cavity doesn't appear to be shielded. A quick application of sheilding paint would sort that

Neutral points:
Quite a heavy guitar, but that's up to personal preference, Im fine with it.

Volume pots are positioned in the opposite of what id expect, but that can be changed easily.

Final thoughts: the cons above don't really detract from an amazing sounding, feeling, and looking guitar and most are easily remedied. For the price, in my opinion you are getting a better guitar than a Gibson costing 3 or 4 times the amount.
