The H/S/S combination works nicely, you can get a pretty wide range of tones and sounds. The fret board looks great, has not worn out since I got it. The body is solid and is very comfortable while playing. My only complaint would be the tremolo bar. Now with this type of bridge I was not expecting much, this is no floyd rose after all. The tremolo does work, but I don't use it because of the danger that the strings will go out of tune. I would picture this guitar without a tremolo bar if I were considering whether to get it. But I think most people who do their research will know this anyway so it is not a big deal at all. The tuners are ok, nothing special.
I wouldn't buy this new, as with any musical instrument unless it is a unique piece. If you can get it used in great condition then it is totally worth it. I would definitely recommend this for a beginner or even an intermediate player. Once you get a better guitar in terms of parts and electronics then I don't know if one would be willing to go back to this. But as a practice guitar this is perfect.
I received it today and after playing with it for about six hours straight, I love it. I mean I truly love it from every angle. The pickups are nice and full bodied, coil tap (split) works nicely with very little hum even with one pickup selected...zero hum in the middle position as expected. Fit and finish is amazing. Strings were detuned in the box, but once tuned, the guitar was set up perfectly from the factory. Nice low action, correct neck relief, no fret buzz, perfect intonation. Frets are smooth, no burrs anywhere, freeboard is beautiful rosewood just like in the photos.
It is a bolt-on neck which is normal in this price range, but the note sustain is pretty good.
The look of this guitar is classy. I find PRSs beautiful, but this one has its modern clean glamour. It's the good looking girl in the black dress that you can't take your eyes off of. Black on black with the dark rosewood fretboard makes it just right. I have a few (too many) guitars, but this one is love at first sight. I bought the all black, but the other colors are just as attractive. The smaller black pickguard makes a huge difference to the aesthetics.
One thing missing in this model is a tremolo, which is kind of obvious from the pictures, but is misstated in the description (as of this review). The knobs could be better finished.
- need a reliable guitar that will stay in tune that comes nicely set up right out of the box
- are on a budget for the rig and looking to save money for the amp/pedals/whatnot
- are not entirely sure on exactly what type of tone you want yet but want to experiment with a sweet electric guitar
- are looking for a well-rounded guitar
this is for you. Don't get me wrong though, it is not just a good beginner's guitar but a seriously good guitar. I just think if you are that far into the guitar game, you might want to get a guitar with a signature sound like, say, a made in States Stratocaster which will definitely cost you at least twice to three times as much.
