Overall Rating

Comments: I still havent found a really nice sound, but im getting there. Been playing 4 years Im 14 but I know a good sound when I hear one. Better than my last guitar by a long shot but its still not got enough deepth and warmth that a proper Gibson would give you. It cant sound harsh and warm at the same time, a tele can and maybe some good Gibsons!!!
