I'm amazed for the quality of this instrument, just the pickup could have more gain for my taste -now it is very bluesy and dynamic, but I probably will change it to humbucker... or get booster pedal. Gigbag is very basic but does the job, included slide feels and sounds great -slide is really heavy!
I tuned this to open G after unboxing and fine-tuned after 15 mins of playing, for my surprise it was still in almost perfect tune the next day. With the stock strings included!
Considering very low price and simple & bulletproof design, you cannot go wrong with this one. It's also worth to point out, that this is very portable instrument, I ordered a battery-powered mini amp with it just to rock it everywhere I go.
If you want to strum it, note the output jack location, you'll probably need to buy angled cable so you don't hit the plug.
