A bad guitar? not at all but definitely made for beginners
I've played this guitar for 12 years. Why?
- My only gift from my grandma, who passed away already.
- With good amplifiers, it sounds great, but the stock pickups are trash for clean sounds. I replaced them, and the sound improvement is noticeable.
- The build quality is not great, and the tuners are already broken
But I still love it because I had so much fun, enjoyed quality time with friends, and it helped me shape a style I cannot get it with any other guitar. Tried Gibson, Ibanez and the feeling is just not the same.
Can I recommend it? maybe not considering Squier does better in this market. But it's imperfectly perfect if you want to go into rock or blues.

Bad but...
For begginers or as a first guitar is a good one maybe but in the end its a bad guitar, doesnt stay in tune very well, the intonation might be a problem and the neck isnt that good to play, but with some little upgrades can be worth something
The original pickups are really shitty, but if you change them and the tuning machines(I did that lol) can be a good gig backup
Not a special guitar honestly, I have as a backup and for sentimental reasons
