Its pretty decent.
I got this as a gift from some one for Christmas, probably because i like my other First Act guitar so much. When I got it the poor thing needed a lot of work, it was scratched up quite a bit and disgustingly dirty, I didn't mind however because half the fun of getting new gear is cleaning it.
I usually keep it strung up in Nashville tuning, and I think that anything to like about the sound comes from that. I might need to bring mine to a luthier because the high E is really close to the edge of the neck and if you play a little to loose you can accidentally slide it off the side and make a horrible sound. I'm not sure if I will ever love this guitar as much as my other First Act guitar, but honestly it is not horrible. I quite love the body shape but if you have thicker thighs like me the pointy horn can dig in a little bit.

Better than you'd think
I got this thing for 10 dollars at a flea market and after changing the tuners and pickup I can say that it's pretty good.

not a bad guitar
I got mine for free, the actual value probably isn't any more than like $80. I'm planning on modding it, turning it into a tele, basically.

yeah, it's a pretty unique shape. I like it. it's actually pretty well constructed, too. the body is solid wood (not sure what type, but its real wood and not plywood or particle board like other cheap "entry level" guitars) and the hardware is pretty good, though it could be better. the neck is definitely unfinished maple with a rosewood finger board, which is totally great. The neck feels a lot like my Squire as far as profile and everything. What I'm most surprised about is the electronics. They're really not bad! the pots are decent, and the pick up pretty clean and clear, but a little quiet. and even though it's quiet, it's not muddy at all. That being said, it's still super super low end fabrication, so i'm definitely going to mod it out. but if you were buying this for like a teenager who's just starting to learn, it would be great!
