Advantages: Looks and everything!
Disadvantages: Setting up....

This has got to be one of my favourite guitars of all time! I bought this back in 2003 after thrying out many guitars, gibson's, fender's you name it i tried them. Then this one caught my attention hanging on the wall and i just though no harm in trying! I was blown away!

Advantages: Cheap, Good Quality
Disadvantages: Bad Stock Strings

I have owned this product for half a year now and am very impressed with the quality of the product, considering how cheap it is available.

It has fantastic action and set up, and the Pickups sound great, although i would reccomend changing the strings as soon as you get it , as the stock ones arent very good and don't ... Read review
