Impressive for the cost
I wanted a 2 x P90 guitar with LP scale length without the Gibson (or even Epi) price tag. So took a punt on this, overall very happy with it-
The fundamentals are all very good - fretwork is fine, all level, nicely rounded, well finished
The neck is comfortable with the sculpted neck joint & the matt finish helps make it very playable.
Roswell P90s sound very good
Also nice light weight for a solid mahogany guitar.
Be prepared to swap out the wraparound bridge (it's horrible) - replaced with a better bridge for under 20quid which gives a much lower action- also may want to consider better tuners.
Being P90s it also benefits from adding shielding tape in the pickup cavities - easy enough job. Amaranth fretboard also benefited from a little lemon oil.
So overall if you're prepared to spend a few more $ on upgrades and a bit of time on setup, it still gets you a very decent LP special for much less than the usual suspects. I'll have no qualms using it at gig.
