    Very nice guitar. No cosmetic problems, slight issue with sound quality but a setup would easily fix that. Very impressed with the bang for buck factor as it is better than my Squier Standard Stratocaster, but not as good as my MIM Fender. Would recommend over the Squier, and for the money you can get 2 of these or 1 MIM.

    Neck Great! Plays good! Sound is a little thin. Great feel! Will try to upgrade Trem Block, saddles, and pick-ups. Trem is set-up for dive only. Can be set for floating trem. I like it!
