Sound
:

definitely not for heavy metal... but suits me fine... am using a behringer gx108 15 watt amp and a zoom g2 multifx with it... its noisy probably because its all single coils.. the bridge pup is bright sound but the neck and middle pups sounds a bit muddy.. this is my first electric so i cant really compare sounds with other guitars.. the sound is okay for me... sounds lack power or sustain.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

action is moderately low...the guitar is light... this was the last stock on sale so it had very minimal rusted screws and strings.. the volume kno is responsive enough but the 2 tone knobs are somehow useless...finish is still superb.. 2 tone sunburst with pearloid pickguard ...

this will definitely live playing... parts will definitely have to be replaced in time...finish will last with proper care... strap buttons are solid... i don't really gig... this guitar is only for home use...if you're not harsh on a guitar.. this can handle live gigs

been playing for 5 years... this is my 1st electricguitar... after 2 acoustic guitars... have a new amp and multifx with it... i was aware of what to expect when i first bought the guitar... i got it on sale.. i wish it had humbuckers... this guitar is a good buy... a very good guitarist can make this guitar sing... if it were lost or stolen..id buy another one for the same price... this is very good for a beginner though.

Made about 5 years ago in some far off land, 21 frets, 1 vol., 2 tone, 5 way switch, pickups: S/S/H, orangish-red sparkle finish, strat copy, spring tremelo
Sound

I play hard/metal and some classic 60's & 70's music, and this would suit that kind of style if it sounded like an electric guitar. It sounds more like a cat hacking up a hairball while scratching a chalkboard. Pickups suck and the action is really high.

The action, like I already said, is way too high, and has no sustain. The finish is awesome looking, which was probably what drove me to buying it.

I've played live with it, but sitting down. I'm afraid if I play it again, the whole thing will break apart. Thats why I'm trading it in for some effects. I wouldn't play it live ever again b/c it sounds really bad & makes me look bad

I've been playing about 3 years, started acoustic, then switched to electric, I would celebrate if someone stole it but I'd kick the crap out of them afterwards. I wish I had looked around more before I bought it.
