actually mindblowing that this exists

Shervin 26.07.2024

the neck feels very similar to LTD EC-1000s
grover tuners feel great
strap locks were included even though not mentioned in the description
the fretboard is a lot darker than in the pictures which is perfect.
frets are shiny and smooth
pickups sound identical to my EMGs in other guitars.
the weight is very respectable but not backbreaking.
electronics feel smooth and everything is well grounded.
the only flaws i can mention are the plastic nut catching the string somethings while tuning, but a bit of sanding solved that.
the other issue was tiny paint spots on the binding and a tiny spot of excess glue, none of which are visible unless looking very closely

Amazing instrument

aimen666 16.07.2024

The build quality and playability are great, for this price I'm really amazed, there's some tiny imperfections but it's not big deal, i would throw some locking tuners and emg's in the future, but there's nothing to complain about..nice job 👌🏻
