First, if you are one of those guys who wan the best, stop reading now. It is a $120 and well, that is cheap money for a guitar. That being said:
I saw a few YouTubes on this and for my next project, I wanted a Strat sound for recording. Strat's have a strat sound and I wasn't sure what else had the same tone. Seeing this guitar and the positive reviews (all things being relative), I thought what the hell. So I purchased it.
I unboxed it, pulled it out, tuned it up and went through the mechanics. I play mostly acoustic with medium strings, so the thing could play like a brick and it would be OK with me. But, all the switches played through, neck seemed pretty decent, fret a tad high, but it is new. No fret ends to snag your hand, and everything played well all the way up and down. Tone sounded good to me and really I think it was not a bad find for my purpose.
If you are in the studio and you are looking for that sound and you know it is has limited use, really something to take a look at. I will use this in my next album. I think I will switch the strings as I am not too thrilled with the ones that came with it, they would do, but I think different strings will work a bit better.
I am not a guitar player, so take this for what it is worth. But for those of you out there who play guitar, but are not a guitar player, this might do for you if you like that sound.
