Good starter

Cheap Guitar but good value for money. The pickups are quite nice and you can try many different option with them to get a sound you really like. Easy to play on and quite light compared to my LTD 401. One of the best guitars you can get if you want to get into the rock world. The pickups after 8 years are not that nice (had problems after 4 years i think), but this isn't a problem, cause if you want to go deeper into the rock world, you have to upgrade in 2-3 years. It's just a good starter guitar
