Love it though it's not perfect
I love this guitar. It's beautiful, sounds good and plays well. though it's not perfect mine is setup perfectly but still has some minor fretbuzz but it's not bad to the point that you can't play it and the my pickups sounds rather muddy but since it's not that expensive i'm probably going to change the pickups someday. But yeah a wonderful guitar for it's price.
