Great Guitar for the Price But...

Should have come with a bleeding gig bag at the very least. I mean, we're talking this is a $400 axe (on sale), and while it looks as good as it sounds, it comes with a cheap little cable. They could have thrown a cheap little gig bag of some kind instead.

Right, anyway, that's why it's 4 starts instead of 5.

So the sound is rich, full, and fills the small rooms. Sounds good plugged in, sounds good unplugged. As I said, looks as good as it sounds. Or sounds as good as it looks. Whichever. The strings what come on it are in need of changing when you get it. They're pretty dead.

Stays in tune pretty decent. Onboard tuner for when it goes out. AND the tuner does a pretty good job.

As far as the onboard preamp, it does what it says on the tin. I was running it through my Vox Pathfinder, and it sounds bangon-spot just like it should. Had everything dime'd out, then rolled back to nickles just to get the "natural sound."

All said, you could do a lot worse for $400 than this guitar.
