Description
From comfort-focused design to guided lessons, tone versatility, and striking finishes—this is a guitar that grows with you. Designed with beginners in mind, but built with the features that help you sound and feel like a pro. Why should I re-tune my electric guitar multiple times after receiving it? After tuning to standard pitch, gently pull the strings up to allow the strings and hardware to settle. Repeat this process 2-3 times. This "break-in" process is essential for all guitars, regardless of brand or price. What string gauge do you use for your guitars, and can I adjust it for different play styles? We use 10-46 gauge strings for balanced performance. For ultimate playability, try bE tuning (a popular tuning for rock). For optimal tuning accuracy, switch to 09-42 with standard E tuning. For a deep tone, use 11-52 strings and drop D tuning. How does string height affect my guitar’s sound and playability? String height, or action, influences tuning, tone, and feel. Our factory settings are 2.5mm for the low E string and 2.0mm for the high E string. After changing strings, make sure to adjust action to avoid negative effects on tone and tuning. Why does my guitar produce noise when plugged into an amp, especially with distortion or overdrive? Electric guitars with passive pickups usually produce background hum. This is normal, and the noise will disappear when you touch the strings. It's a common trait of all passive pickups, not a defect in our product. What are the tonal differences across pickup settings on Stryde and Veltrix models? Neck: Warm & smooth clean. Neck + Middle: Funky, scooped clean Middle: Balanced, classic clean. Middle + Bridge: Bright rhythm Bridge: Powerful lead & rock tones. In single-coil mode, you get bright highs, tight lows, and clear leads. Shred Anywhere. Sound Evolved. Style Unleashed. Music connects people, transcending boundaries and bringing joy to life's moments. We began with one mission—make quality instruments more accessible to everyday players. Music should be for everyone, and we’re here to make that happen. Because there’s nothing more rewarding than helping someone start their musical journey. Every chord learned and every song played reminds us why we’re here. We combine player-focused design with practical features—like coil-split switching and glow-in-the-dark markers—to make each instrument both fun and functional.

Tremendous value on a budget.
Color: Orange
For the money, it is a great deal, however you'll want to spend some time or money on a proper setup. All I did was loosen the strings, checked the frets with a fret rocker, tapped about a dozen of them gently with a tiny rubber mallet, and it plays better than one of my much more expensive Squires. The pickups are lower output, but clean and clear with crisp mids and treble, for a beginner, that's perfect. I own two Aklot guitars now and both of them are very surprising, punching well above their weight in terms of value per cost. Other than some highish frets, the fretwork is great, the neck is smooth. Some of the adjustments you might make are usually due to being built in a different climate with different humidity and temperature. I haven't needed to do any filing, buffing or polishing. I planned on swapping the pickguard and the electronics, but when it came it was beautiful, much better than the photos. I may keep it stock for a while. It came with roller string trees installed and a coil split for the humbucker, which is a great feature for a Strat style guitar. The output jack is nice and firm. The intonation was about 95% perfect, only some tiny adjustments on the D string bridge screw and it's wonderful. Get some fretboard oil, a tiny rubber mallet, and a fret rocker. There are great resources online to guide you through a setup. You should always expect to do some work on any new guitar, even very expensive guitars. This was one of the easiest new guitar setups I've ever done. For the cost, It's fantastic. I don't think there's anything better at this price point. 10/10 would buy again, and I might.

Sounds Amazing
Color: Purple
bought it for my nephew an he likes it. the little 10watt amplifier speaker might not be able to handle high volume too well playing Rock/heavy metal music mite hear some clipping so be careful with that. regular play it's good an clean like if you don't wanna disturb anyone in a apartment building or office space. if you wanna rock the house an hear how well it plays everything just upgrade to a slightly bigger or whatever electric guitar amplifier you feel like getting that can handle all ranges at high volume 25watts an up.. comes with everything you see in the pictures an a good guitar for new players looking to get into playing for the right price. solid build quality

Great after a fret level, setup, and neck shim.
Color: Orange
This guitar is great but only after I put a lot of work into it. I work on guitars as a hobby and that made this guitar worth it. Mine had high action, frets were not level, saddles were way off on each string, and a few frets were turning green as they often do from overseas. Fret ends were decent as is. So here is what I did to it to make it awesome. I had to level the entire fretboard. Crown all frets, polished all frets, rounded the fret ends a little more, put a shim in the neck pocket, and adjusted every tremelo saddle as they were way off. I cleaned and oiled the fretboard, put on new strings, and did a proper intonation and action adjustment. After all that the guitar is absolutely killer for the money. Pickups sound decent, everything works, the tuners feel really good actually. Tremelo is cheap but works OK. However the whammy bar hangs loose and has play. Another half turn and its too tight to go any further. It also has a plastic nut. I was hoping for bone but thats an easy upgrade. And the glow in the dark fret Inlays are a nice touch. The wood of the fretboard is also very nice. Makes it feel like a quality instrument. Since I can do my own work I would absolutely buy one again. This thing is really sweet. Great platform for upgrades also. The other accessories and bag are also great. Overall a good deal if you can get a setup.

Everything you need including quality!
Color: Sunburst
Not only is the guitar itself of good quality but so are the accessories it comes with. The amp is nice and could likely be $30 on its own. The gig bag has nice padding and fits EVERYTHING snugly! Even the cable is thicker and not the thin wire junk they usually send with cheap or sometimes even not so cheap guitars. As you can see in the photos, I am able to put everything in the case and even use the nice bag they sent to put the amp in. 2 actual books are included, which is nice. Also a tuner, polish cloth, picks, strap, and extra set of strings should one break. This makes a very nice portable kit that I wish I had when I started playing 40 years ago! I lowered the action using the grub screws on the saddles and have done a lot of bending and whammy action and it stays in tune as well as any non-locking trem can! It sat in the bag for a couple of weeks. I went back to it and it was in tune when I picked it up. All the switches in knobs feel good and solid. Finish on the body is very well done and beautiful. I can see real wood grain on the neck. Rosewood finger board with glow in the dark dot inlays top it off nicely. I'm actually a bit picky. I just wanted a cheap strat because I miss my first guitar and the strat tones I could get from the 5 position switch. This is nicer than I expected and the portable rechargeable amp has been super handy. I have to wonder if these are going to be like Firefly where they used to be dirt cheap on Amazon and now their rivaling big names in resale price. I don't know. All I know is I like this one and the price I paid for it. I definitely recommend for beginners or anyone who wants a lot of guitar for a little money.

Saw it on Scar my Guitar
Color: Sunburst
This guitar is beautiful and plays very well. Wish guitars like this were around 55 years ago when I started learning. This is levels above the cheap choices I had back in 1969-70. Setup was almost perfect out of the box. Intonation was spot on. Neck was straight, action was set to recommended specs. Could be fine tuned to get a little lower but not needed. Tuners are the best I've seen and used on guitars that cost 3-5x as much. Roasted maple neck is smooth and quick. Mine came with light gauge strings (9.5-44). This actually plays better than my Gibson Les Paul Studio and stays in tune better. Excellent guitar especially for less than $150.00. Nice gig bag included comes with neck and saddle adjustment tools, extra set of strings(I put d'addario's on instead) and the little amp included is usable for practice. Overall it's a no brainer for me.

Quality at a decent price !!
Color: Orange
The first one I got had a low angle cut nut which was unplayable , returned it for another one , the exact same ! Arrived yesterday, let it sit for 6 hours , tuned it ,and it played beautifully, straight neck, polished frets,a set of new strings , intonation perfect ,ready to go ! Love the color (more of a fiesta red), mini amp,cable,strap,picks,tuner ! This truly the golden age of guitars ! You dont have to waste your hard earned money on Fenders or Gibsons ! (No wonder why they have filed court issues , because all kinds of lesser name companies are making better guitars for the money) Fenders debut’s, have marginalized body thickness that won’t fit a decent bridge block ! Their names are not selling like they used to ! Thank-you Amazon for a vast product selection of quality guitars. 👍

Perfect out of the box
Color: Black2
For a beginner guitar this is a tremendous value. The intonation and string height were perfect straight out of the box. Fit and finish was perfect also with very minimal fret sprout which can quickly be addressed with a file. If you have an adolescent at home that wants to try their hand at guitar, don’t pass up this deal.
