Bought this to add to my guitar collection and must say is a much better quality guitar over some of my other guitars. Of course first off I have never had a guitar with a Floyd Rose bridge before and after getting it went to put new strings on it. Had to do some looking into the whole Floyd Rose Bridge first and then after doing a couple strings I started to get the hang of it. After replacing the strings and then playing around with getting everything correct and in tune it had held tuning pretty well and sounds really great. Though not to thrilled with the Floyd Rose locking nuts on the neck since I tend to rub against them when using 1 and 2nd fret but I just need to adjust my playing to it. ... show more

    • Great guitar
Style: KH-202
Only problem I had, which is not really an issue, is action is super high and intonation is wayyy off from factory. But, I always bring my new guitars to a Luthier to fix this. After I got it back, ooooooh man what a dream! I frickin love this guitar! Im not a fan of the stock pickups but they are do-able. Guitar arrived in perfect condition, no scratches or bumps, no defects. Just ordered some EMG Bone Breakers to switch pickups with. I would definitely recommend this guitar for any hard core Kirk Hammett fans on a budget. Go for it! ... show more

    • Absolutely love it. Amazing value
Style: KH-202
Absolutely love it. Amazing value. This has been a guitar that I have wanted to get since I was a kid. It feels great to hold and sounds very good. Update: I've had this guitar for 9 months now or so. It is still my favorite guitar in my small collection. Very fun to play on.

All the reviews I watched of this guitar were very positive so I bit the bullet and took a chance and I'm glad I did. It's beautiful, sound good, feels good in the hands. Just what I wanted in a first guitar. Also the locks on the neck and bridge do actually help the guitar stay in tune longer, if you enjoy playing a lot of bendy Pink Floyd style music with tremolo. If anyone has any good recommendations for good pick-ups to upgrade to let me know. I hear the EMGs are good, but I'm wondering if there's any better options available or if EMG is the way to go. ... show more

    • This puts the heavy in heavy metal!!
Style: KH-202
Wonderful guitar, but it’s heavy!! Make sure you have a good strap to support it if you plan on playing for an extended period. This was my Floyd Rose Special tremolo bridge and it’s incredibly difficult for a beginner. Watched the videos online and read the instructions but was still not able to get it setup correctly. Took it to my local music shop and had it tuned up and now it’s ready to rock! The factory strings had snapped in the box and had to be replaced. Finish was flawless and not a mark on her! Overall great value for an intermediate level guitar,. Would not recommend it to a novice due to the Floyd Rose bridge, but if your a Metallica fan, it’s worth learning! ... show more

The day we received the guitar my husband was so excited, as soon as we opened it we noticed the crack all around the volume knob. The package it came in was not damaged therefore it was damaged prior to packaging. Returned and waiting on a refund.

    • Not a guitar for a beginner - impossible to tune.
Style: KH-202
I've been playing acoustic for 10 years. I bought this guitar from Reverb as my first electric guitar on an advice of a professional musician. Now I am sending it back. The reason is the Floyd Rose bridge system. As I understand, this bridge makes possible great vibrato / tremolo sound effects on a guitar. But it is a pain to tune. No, not quite... It is a PAIN to tune. I could never tune this guitar, although I tried multiple times, and I followed Floyd Rose manuals. Every time you tune one string, other strings are getting out of tune. May be it is a good system for a professional / seasoned player; may be I am not fanatic enough. But if I can't tune a guitar in 10 minutes - like I do with my acoustic guitar - its' not an instrument for me. ... show more
