  • Great value!
Color: Ebony
The media could not be loaded. This guitar turned out to be very decent. Finish: excellent, flawless, I couldn't find a single scratch anywhere. The satin black finish is very beautiful and smooth, and the woods used in the neck are great. Electronics: for this price the pickups are ok, not microphonic, I would like them a bit hotter, but they are usable. The coil splitter for the humbucker works well and produces a nice tone, especially on the second position when combined with the middle pickup. Output Jack is good, pots do their job, although the tone could be more gradual. All of the pickups sound good in clean and overdriven sounds. Setup: it was good out of the box, I lowered the action a bit because that's how I like it, but it was playable upon arrival, intonated. Truss rod works fine. Frets could use some polishing Neck: something to be aware of, this neck is chunky, I measured 22.5mm at the first fret. I guess you could sand it down, but I don't have experience doing that, for now I'll leave it as is. The wood grain and color on the neck are very beautiful, very smooth to play. Fretwire is medium jumbo I think, that makes it comfy to bend strings, and gives plenty of material if fret leveling is required. No fret sprout at all. *The body size seems to be smaller than average strats, this guitar is very light which is good if you have back issues. ... show more

  • Playable right out of the box!
Had read some good things about Grote guitars so orderered this Pawlownia ST, when it went on sale $70, as I wanted to get a project guitar but also a guitar I can take to parties and gatherings without getting nervous. I unpacked it, let it stand till the following day and truly "I played it straight out of the box" However, that not to say there weren't a few things that needed improving. The neck had too much relief, but this is the same as all the guitars I have bought online, that were $200 plus, as they normally ship from Southern US to my Northern location. I quickly adjusted the truss rod and fixed this. I will also adjust the string heights at the bridge and intonate when I change strings. The fret ends were excellent, in fact I can see the edge of the neck sticking out further than the frets in places, suggesting they sanded the frets before installing on the neck? Different but hey, whatever they did worked well. Fit and finish were very good, only very minor blemishes, equal to my guitars 3 times the price. The deep grain pawlonia wood looks great through the translucent blue (with a hint of turquoise) hard finish, very attractive. The plastic nut is cut perfectly. I have not experienced this with some of the more expensive guitars. Tuners work, but tighten and losen as you turn them. Guitar need constant tuning , new tuners will be the first upgrade with new strings. Tremolo bar supplied but tremolo was screwed down tight, so no tremelo sounds until, claw, springs and tremolo adjusted. If this was your only guitar, pick ups would sound fine, however although adequate to make music they do not sound as good as the ones in my Squire Strat. More fun changing P U's. In conclusion, worth every penny, don't know how Grote do it at this price. Very light, don't worry about the Pawlonia, Fender makes the "Empress" Tele out of the same stuff, so really great for beginners and young axers. Will play out of the box to get you going but will benefit from a full set up. Down the road, with skills and experience improving, make it a project, make the guitar grow with you. Tons of fun, I am really enjoying mine!! Will probably buy more Grote guitars in the future. ... show more

  • Lots of Bang for Buck
Color: Mocha
Wow, am very surprised how good this guitar is. I saw videos about the cheapest guitars on amazon saying they were very good but may need setup. This one was on sale for $87 and reviews were most pretty good but a few negative. I tried my luck and won. Out of the box the strings were all very loose. No big deal, it easily tuned up and stayed in tune for hours. There wasnt a single problem, no high action, fret buz, bowed neck, crappy tone or anything. I have 4 other electrics all like $200 guitars except an epiphone les paul like a $500 guitar. And this grote was sounding better than all. It practically played itself as I jammed for hours in amazement. Its very light and it looks beautiful. It has 2 switches and plenty knobs to adjust tone. The nice tone and staying in tune for hours was a great surprise. Cheap guitars may be a bit of gamble and some may get a dud, but i figured I’d ship it right back if it were. Time will tell if this guitar holds up but so far this is an amazing deal. ... show more

  • Could have been a GREAT mod platform - body cracked
Color: Solar flare
OK, I returned this item so why a 3 START review? The guitar as a whole is surprisingly good for the $85.50 I paid. It looks good, sounds good, but had one major issue. A crack in the body at the neck join. This is not solid wood; it is a composite. It looks to me the slurry of wood-product they made, dried, expanded, and cracked. Also, the tuners were horrible, BUT for a sub-$100 guitar that's expected. If you think you'll get top-notch hardware on an $85 guitar, think again. This would have been a good mod platform. The pickups sounded really good. The humbucker is splitable and it sounded good. The paint was an awesome color. It looked cool. It played well. It had a nice medium neck and a beautiful fretboard. The frets were well done. It would have been a FIVE STAR if not for the body crack. Too bad. It is certainly worth a shot if you want a cheap, but good guitar or a great mod platform. ... show more

  • perfection
Color: Surf Green
it’s super good, the tuning was pretty easy, the sound kinda sounded like a bass because of the pickups, and it’s pretty durable. and the action level is probably the best cuz it’s not too hard to press down. it’s super easy to use and smooth as frick, plus it has a lot of functionality cuz of its knobs, although im not that good xD ... show more
