Beautiful Guitar. Warm Sound.
As a left-handed guitar player, I do not have many affordable options available on the market. This guitar was meant to be a more jazzy/bluesy counterpart to my main guitar, an Ibanez, but it became much more than that.
Pros:
+ The build quality: Holy monkeys, is the finishing good on this guitar! Roasted maple, tune-o-matic bridge, AlNiCo pickups, and Laurel fretboard under 200 euros? You betcha'!
+ The neck is awesome. The frets could have been a bit more polished on the edges, but there's no need for a file here, as they are perfectly comfortable at touch. With the right action, this is the perfect beginner-friendly neck.
+ The tune-o-matic is surprisingly easy to adjust, even when the strings are a bit tense. I got near-perfect intonation.
+ The warm sound with a nice Jazzmaster "twang", achievable out-of-the-box and improvable with the right setup. Sounds great on cleans too, mostly because the pickups are surprisingly well-built.
Cons:
- The foil on the guitar was really difficult to peel and got caught underneath the knobs. Might be a downer or might be just my poor coordination when unwrapping stuff.
- Not for every genre, but I guess you already knew that. Heavy distortion means a bit of buzzing on any single coil, classvi, JM, or P-90.
- The fretboard might be a bit short for some experienced players, but I am not among them, so I love it.
P.S: I am not a fan of these types of machine heads in general, but I don't like them on everything from Fenders and Squires to no name guitars. Surprisingly (again), the HB ones were better than average.
