Nice, but not perfect
Nice guitar for the price, but it has it's flaws, mostly qc issues.
Mine had a couple dings on the edge of the headstock and a small crack in the finish where the body meets the neck, but the flaming was gorgeous.
The tuners are fine, but somewhat stiff and not so precise compered to grovers in my opinion. One of the srtings wasn't in the string tree properly, so be sure to check them before you start tuning, so you won't get it stuck and break it between the roller and the post
The neck came nice and straight, but the action was a bit high for me, around 2,1 mm on low E and 1,7 on high E, and even with that, there is some serious fret buzz on the low E.
The fretboard is finished well, frets are nicely polished and rounded, and the fretmarks also look nice.
The pickups are decent, but keep in mind, that they are on the hotter side. The single coils had some grime on them.
The trem system is amazing, really responsive and the tuning is surprisingly stable even with heavy use. Palm muting is a bit strange at first, but i got used to it in minutes.
The pots are not so great on mine, one is really loose and the other is a bit stiff and has a somewhat gritty feel to it. Also the caps on them are a bit crooked, which makes my ocd go nuts.
The finish on the body, besides the small crack at the neck joint, is flawless and looks amazing.
All in all its a nice guitar, especially for the price, but definitely not perfect. Maybe i've got unlucky and for that reason, it doesn't have that wow factor for me, that so many youtubers are talking about.
