I Have Never Played A Worse Guitar
Seriously. And I've played a LOT of guitars. This is the worst guitar I've ever played. The action is too high, the frets were not dressed properly, the sound is horrible, the strings it comes with are garbage, it doesn't hold tune for anything, it has zero redeeming qualities.
I bought it on a whim thinking "Oh, hey, a nice cheap guitar, says it's made by Gibson, so should be a decent enough guitar to travel with!" let me tell you was I EVER wrong.
Avoid at all costs.
