Instruments 7

It's nice for beginners—it gets you started and you get what you paid for. Mine had a noise issue, but it's pretty minimal, and I hadn't experienced any other issue for this guitar—the fret ends don't seem to be sharp, which is nice and doesn't make an unpleasant experience for beginners. However, you might need to adjust the intonation and action when you first get it, though it's best to just try to get the hang of it rather than the intonation and action. Overall, it's great; it's what you need to get started.
It’s a great affordable Les Paul that anybody can buy. It has a great sound although it’s more into the low sounding so you might need to increase the highs to balance them out. Mine had an issue with tuner being really tight and hard to tune although it’s only one of the tuner so it’s alright. Speaking about tuning, trying to find the specifications of this guitar could be hard if you’re trying to find what’s the string gauge it uses. One thing for sure that it’s pretty heavy and it’s gonna give you a sore shoulder the longer you play it. Overall, really great.

Amps 3

I’ll be honest, this amplifier is okay-ish. There are way way better amplifiers that you could get, I felt like people who gets this thinks they were saving themselves money but you could’ve spend an extra and get something better. Although, if **you are** on a very tight budget and you’re not flexible - yep it’s great enough, it’s alright with pedals. As I said it’s okay-ish.

Picks 1

It’s a complete game changer for me. Now I’m gonna be real, I don’t know if it’s the “placebo” effect of everyone saying “it’s the best pick” or it’s really the best pick. From my standpoint, yeah it only feels faster and more precise - though this may be because of its sharper shape.

Strings 9

Currently have these on my Les Paul, these strings has a very smooth feel and it sounds really great. However the last 3 strings rust really quickly and lost that smooth feel - though my fingers are very sweaty during plays or its either my place was just humid.
To the people who are interested, yes they do flake under heavy usage and has less in the highs. Overall, really good strings. It sounds pretty much the same to the previous pair of Ernie Ball strings - just less on those highs but shouldn’t be **that** bad. Would give it a 4.5 stars, just the flakes sucks but overall very cool.
