Fun, sounds great, but it will likely need some work
The good - the pickups sound great, it stays in tune and the electronics work well. Finish was was excellent, tuners and bridge work well, especially given the price point. Surprisingly comfortable and well-balanced when strapped on too.
(Pro tip - don't leave this in E-standard, but tune everything up to G-standard and it really zings.)
The bad - quality control on the neck. Frets were very rough with some sharp ends, fingerboard was dry (and dirty) and the plastic nut was one of the worst cut I've seen on a stock guitar - the B and G strings were closer together than all the others and everything was too high apart from the A which was too low. You expect some rushed work at the factory on the cheap end but this was particularly bad.
Now... that doesn't bother me too much (I dabble in guitar repair and cut a new nut for it and tidied up the frets) but you might find yourself returning a few of these until you get a good one. It's a shame though - because it's a great, unique little instrument otherwise.
