I've had this guitar a while now, and have enjoyed the playability of it. For once, the volume and tone pots are not "all or nothing" so you can find variations on the one pickup. A couple of gripes about the pickup. It is very slightly off-centre, by 2mm so the pole pieces are not directly beneath the strings. Also, it is not very close to the strings. I have had to put a couple of rubber washers between the body and the pickup. I intend to get a more upmarket pickup at some stage as I think the guitar is worth upgrading, and will buy some shims at the same time. The bridge is too tall (or the neck is not tilted back enough), so the action on my one is a little high. I can cope with this, as this guitar is the sort that you just want to be aggressive with give it some stick.
Overall, it is really good value for money, but it could be a world-beater if these issues are sorted. Remember that it is EIGHTEEN TIMES cheaper than a G.bs.n Custom Shop.
