playin 25 yrs, these Arbors are great guitars for the money but you'll want to change a few things and experiment, great low cost guitars for experimenting, fav feature - very light, easy on the shoulder! Best $100 guitar I ever bought brand new! Plays like a $500 one...

Probably China, circa 2000's. 24 frets, s/s/h pickups, basswood body, flamed top seems to be about 2 mm thick and is nicely blended and finished. Strat style trem, nato bolt-on neck. pull out coil tap. non locking tuners

I reccomend 10 gauge strings or higher. The single coils are smooth and fairly hot. The humbucker is probably the weakest point of this guitar. I replaced it with a PAF

The fingerboard and fretwork are excellent on my copy. Nice dense grained rosewood. The nut looks a little cheap but was set up nicely. The finish is much nicer than what you would expect for this price. The back of the headstock is a little crude looking, but no big deal.

The knobs are all solid. the jack requires periodic tightening which is a little annoying. Everything else about the construction is fine.

As far as volume and tone character this thing can not stand up to my SG of course, but I find I play it more often because the fretwork is so fast and comfortable. For about 150 dollars you really can't lose. A perfect backup or road guitar

I don't know what year, or where it was made. It's a solid basswood body, double cutaway, flamed maple top with the transparent purple
finish, nato bolt on neck with rosewood finger board. I had been looking for a good starter giutar and saw it, tried it out decided I liked it(I also liked the price), so I baught it.It's got 24 frets, 1 volume, 1 pushin-pullout tone (that splits the humbucker), s/s/h pickups, 5-way switch, gold plated tuning machines and bridge(strat style), with a moderatly thick neck. Absolutely beautiful.

I play mostly hard rock, Pillar, P.O.D.,Skillet,Evanescense, etc... which suits it pretty well, it doesn't have quite the beefey chunky sound that I like to use, but its really easy to play. It's not very noisey, has prettygood sustain. I really like the way it looks and plays.

It was set up pretty well,action is pretty smooth.there was one place on the head that the finish didn't come quite to the edge but its not very noticeable.

Iv'e used it live a little bit. It's held up really well. the strap buttons are fairly secure I havn't had any problems with them. it's pretty dependeble and i've never had a backup to use.

I've been playing for about a year, the amp I baught with it is a behringer gx110 a great little 30watt 10inch speaker with 99 preset effects and a lot of little perks, but it's a little to small for what I do so I'me gonna sell it and buy the gmx212 a duel 12inch with every thing the other one has and a heck of a lot more.if the guitar were stolen I would deffinetly buy another one
