Cheap but reliable
An entry-level but overall good quality and versatile electric guitar. Despite the fact that this was made for a more popular market, I dare to say its craftsmanship meets and even surpasses many modern instruments within today's equivalent price range.
The small but sturdy body is laminated wood with a quite decent weight and the fretwork was done excellently (mine needs new frets, which makes sense because it was gifted to me used and has been played almost every day since 2007).
About the electronics, wiring has been repaired a few times and I had to replace both potentiometers, but the pickups still retain a good amount of strength and tone.
The only inconvenience for me is that the nut width is a bit slim for my hands (about 42 mm), I believe this would suit better for children and short people. Anyway, this is a good instrument worth the investment.
I plan to restore mine soon, perhaps even save it for my baby daughter, in case she becomes interested in playing guitar when she grows up.
