Ive had this guitar for a few years now and it feels and sounds as good as the day \i bought it. I was until recently using this guitar for lessons with a professional musician. He fell in love with this fuitar and is constantly asking me to sell him it. The guitar sets up easily, holds tune and the neck is incredibly fast. The fret board is easy to play and the workmanship is unsurpassable. I have a stratocaster and i still love this guitar over my other instruments including the strat.

Awesome guitar, I own and love this guitar. For its price it is an amazing deal, really diverse guitar as well. Can range from blues to hard rock, everything about this guitar is perfect expect the tone controls I would prefer to be made out of something rather than wood. Apart from that its epic.
