Pros & Cons
Pros
Reviewer is an experienced stratocaster player. This guitar plays and sounds like a strat, slightly lighter due to the choice of wood. If you know how to properly set up a guitar then this thing is pretty awesome.
Matte black finish seems perfect, no grit or uneven spots.
The tremolo is legit. It holds a tune flawlessly sounds great. For beginners, its quality and reliability are also very trustworthy. It's better than any indio or firefly i've had and better than most iyv or harley benton.
Frets are well polished and have no sharp edges. There is no fret buzzing at all and the tuners are pretty good. Bridge pickup seems a little shrill but dialing back the tone control makes it acceptable.
This guitar is a good, affordable option to get your foot in the door. While it's considered a beginner model, it's full sized and weighs over 10 pounds. It's also a trusted name brand.

Packaging/appearance
It came packaged well and looks good
It was very playable right out of the box
The only thing that came in the box was the guitar and nothing else
Out of the box it did have some buzzing frets due to the truss rod being out of adjustment and overall it is lacking any sort o... Read More
