Pros & Cons
Pros
It connects with a standard 1/4 inch jack styled like a fender stratocaster 'out' tuning is an adventure compared to a 6-string guitar, but it stays in tune pretty well. It really is a beautiful instrument and has a great sound.
Cons
Many of the frets have an uneven/dented surface meaning the strings grind against the surface when you pull on them. There is a tone knob on this thing, but it doesn't do anything. It's like another volume knob.
