To start it off, I think this guitar is great for this price, but of course also has a few issues. In terms of what you are getting for the money, this guitar is great. It has EMGs, which sound quite decent and an extended 27 inch scale, which is in my opinion quite crucial for getting into really low tunings, such as drop G and because of the scale, also holds the tuning really well. The tuning pegs and the bridge are also built well and easy to use. But there are a few problems with build quality of the instrument. The neck could be sanded better and the fretboard edges are a bit sharp. There was also a couple of dead spots on the fretboard, so the setup wasn't great right out of the box. But the biggest problem for me is the heavy weight and the neck dive of the instrument, which makes it quite tedious to play it standing for a longer period of time.
