There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The guitar arrived with all strings flattened by about the same amount (about 3-4 half steps), a shipping choice that is appreciated due to keeping even tension across the neck while simultaneously keeping it from receiving too much tension from being applied due to temperature and elevation fluctuations throughout transit.
The action feels good. Slightly high but not too bad. This is more or less preference anyways, the average new player should not be bothered by it and it can easily be remedied by an intermediate player who understands their instrument. Slight truss rod/bridge adjustment soon to come, but nothing major.
The overall intonation out of the box was pretty surprising. Once tuned up to standard tuning it was quite in tune with itself across the fretboard with a few exceptions. The nut is set too high, leading to really sharp notes across the first 2 frets on most strings. It's upwards of 25-35 cents above where it should be on the low E and A. This guitar obviously does not have a true temperament fretboard, so perfect tuning across the neck is not to be expected, and there are a few troubled frets outside of the first 2, but for the price it's honestly surprising how few and far between I have found intonation issues... The overall intonation is fantastic.
Better than any sub $300 fretted stringed instrument I have ever purchased.
I imagine that with minimal nut, bridge, and neck adjustment this guitar will be far beyond the quality of what is expected for the price range. With some further upgrades I imagine this guitar will perform above the next price tier.
I plan on upgrading the pickups regardless of stock performance and will more than likely replace the pots, knobs, and output jack before they become an issue just because I know this price tier will eventually run into issues on 2/3rd of those components and the other 1/3rd will just be quality of life improvements.
Biggest complaint: NUT HEIGHT. You would think that all these companies would know better by now... When you can't play a proper low F/F# you think that you would take notice and pop that baby down a bit... But this is not enough to knock this down to a 4 star review due to price and ease of resolution. I just hope that beginners don't blame themself when playing around there and it sounds like garbage.
Fret rocker showing zero high or low frets. No buzz out of box. Did adjust string height at saddles. Intonation was already set "perfect" at the resolution of my budget tuner.
Adjusted pickup height.
Shape and finish of neck are great allowing smooth movement up and down the "perfect" laurel fretboard.
Good tone.
Only thing I may upgrade is some p-rails but not a priority as they will cost more than the guitar :)
The frets are all well done and the color is fantastic. After a quick setup it plays very nicely. No complaints other than the witch hat knobs were a bit loose. Will probably replace those soon.
