Well this is a fender strat copy with a musicman head. It has cheap ass pickups on it and is so heavy ya gonna need a body like the hulk to hold it up...lol. It has a rosewood fretboard, but of poor Quality. The tuners are Cheap as are all of the parts of this Guitar. I'm not to sure what the body is made of but its so heavy it probably made of hard wood. Its a plain guitar for the beginner.

Its a funny thing as this guitar has nothing great about it but still has a good sound. I play alot of rock & its been ok for that, It has a rich/full sound that reminds me of a fender strat, But with not much Variety in tones.

The finish on mine was crappy, the paint has flaked and the plug jack keeps coming lose ( I have fixed that ). There was flaws around the pickups and where the neck meets the body. I have started to get alot of fret buzz, but this guitar is getting on a bit now ( I've had it for 5 years ). The neck has alot of clear paint on it and makes this thing not very well balanced...yuk.

Nope. Not what i would call a reliable guitar. I wouldn't play it live unless i had nothing else, even then i wouldn't be to happy about it. The strap buttons are ok.

Not a nice guitar, poorly put together, heavy, the only thing that impressed me was the sound. I brought this guitar when i was a learner and have never realy liked it. But it has Showed me a thing or to about playing and setup. This is a beginners guitar, but of poor Quality. Save ya self some money and go buy a Better guitar ( Yamaha,Fender,Gibson ) Cause ya not gonna like this thing after ya have paid out ya hard Cash.
