This is a beautiful guitar. It doesn’t feel cheap and it plays pretty nice. Good quality nice and light. My only thing with it is that the pickups sound a tiny bit muddy with distortion. I can live with it though. It does sound amazing on clean channels. I will eventually switch out the pickups for something better. I am very happy with the guitar. I highly recommend it.

What really drew me in was the incredible look of this guitar. It has a high-quality aesthetic just by it’s looks. The blue burst color is just so unique and it stands out among my other guitars. I firmly believe in the idea of buying an instrument that makes you want to pick it up and play it. This one certainly does that for me!Enough about aesthetics, let’s talk build quality.So first and foremost you can’t expect top of the line with a budget/intro guitar like this. However, I will say that I was thoroughly impressed by it.Pros:It’s comfortable to play. The body style and shape are fairly versatile and comfortable for all players either standing or sitting. It’s a great beginner instrument just for this.The neck shape. I personally like the shape of this next. To me, it doesn’t feel super thin but it’s also not too thick and chunky. It has a good balance and feels relatively easily to play.Toggle switch. Pretty awesome to have a 5-way selector switch to really switch up your tone. All of my previous HH setup guitars just had a 3-way, but I like the versatility of the 5-way on this.The hip shot style bridge. Never had one like this before but I like the design. It’s alright for what it is and I certainly prefer it over the meticulousness of a cheap tremolo system on many budget guitars.Somewhat cons these aren’t necessarily bad but just not up to snuff:The tuners. They aren’t bad they’re just fine. Don’t expect the greatest stability ever but you might be surprised that they aren’t total trash.The fretwork. It’s a bit rough in spots. Of the guitars I own this is the only one that I can feel a bit of inconsistency and rough edges on the metal edges of the frets. As in, running my fingers along the edges of the neck I can feel some frets that feel tougher than others. Perhaps my biggest gripe when it comes to playability and quality.Pickups. Again, these are fine and they do the job. I think the neck has a pretty warm sound especially on a dialed in clean channel. Metal and rock on the bridge can get a bit muddy, and when comparing them to actives, they just don’t have as much bite and punch in a distorted tone. They still do the job and having a 5 way switch sort of makes up for them since you can get a bit more variation.Overall though, you can’t really beat this value. It’s a fantastic looking instrument that sounds good, and plays pretty well. Barring the few quality control issues, you’re getting a name brand guitar that’s going to hold up and be great for either a beginner who’s just starting, or an advanced musician that just needs a beat around guitar.

5 stars! Gorgeous finish. Incredibly smooth neck and the Purple Heart fretboard is amazing. Lightweight and versatile. Pictures cannot do this beauty justice. I've owned many guitars over the last 30 years and I have to admit that this one tops the chart. The best guitar you can buy for the price point. Plays like a $400+ Ibanez without the pinch in the wallet. These are HOT with many other retailers having them on back-order so if you can pick one up, better do it quick! Two thumbs WAY up!!

I've just picked up guitar again after about 20 years of not having played, about 3 months in with a very old manky guitar that had sat in the cupboard for years. The setup is all over place and it's seen better days.I wanted something new but I didn't want to spend a fortune, came across this guitar here on Amazon and the reviews said an ideal guiter for beginners. They're spot on! It arrive very well packed, it had been a cold day and I left it standing to allow it time to warm up slowly to room temperature before tuning it up.I plugged it into Rocksmith and just wow! I can hear every bloody mistake I'm making! ha ha!! Seriously the tone is crystal clear to my untrained ear. The Rocksmith processor is picking up every note from low end chugging to high end noddling, it's all coming through perfectly. My scores on Rocksmith shot up on the first playthrough of my favourite tracks.My wife was wary of me spending money on something I mght get bored with but the second she saw it even she was blown away by how beautiful it looks, and it looks even more stunning than it does in the pics.I'm no expert and I'm sure a pro would pick it up and scoff at it but as a budget guitar for someone happily noodling away on their own for something to do in the evenings after work instead of watching the idiot box, it's a stuning instrument and I can't recommend it highly enough if you're a beginner like and looking for something that will get you playing more and improving your skills.
