Price Paid: $150 USD (used)
Description: Electric. two single coils, standard hardware, unknown wood in body, 21 frets, rosewood fingerboard...etc...
Tone:
Comments: Hmm...well, sounds like a tele at low volumes...the higher the volume, the worse the squeals...like a pig really...ah well, it's a cheap guitar...also tends to rattle above the 10th fret on the 1st and 2nd strings (to the point of fretting out completely) and on the 5 and 6 stings on the 1st through 3rd frets...weird...action settings help, but not much...hard to set the intonation as well (read, damn near impossible)...
Quality:
Comments: hmm...well, hit it hard and it chips...no finish flaws though...the tuners suck so bad it's hard to describe...tuning it is a real pain...but it doesn't go out too quickly I guess...
Overall:
Pros: Heck...I bought it as a knock around guitar I could beat up a little as I carried it around with me (I hate not having a guitar next to me...)...but it hasn't even fit this role very well...I considered putting in new pickups and tuners...but the whole buzzing thing seems impossible to cure...well, there you go...I'm planning to sell it, or failing that, when my new band plays our first show I guess I'll pull a Townsend on it...
Cons: yep...those were the pros above...basically this guitar sucks...I guess it might be okay if you need something that looks and feels like a guitar just to practice on if you don't care what it sounds like at all...
