I maybe got lucky on this, but everything about deciding to buy this guitar has been fantastic. I realize that the Chinese and Indonesian guitars have QC issues at times, but I hit a grand slam with this purchase. First off, Amazon packed this so well that it arrived totally protected. There was an inner box around the guitar, and then this box was placed in a larger outer box with a tons of fluffed packing paper protecting the inner guitar box. This would have survived anything. But the outer box was not even dented, and the inner box was in perfect condition. Then, on opening the inner box, this guitar was perfect with no dents, scratches, or injury of any kind. The deep reddish wood grain body and tortoise pick guard are absolutely beautiful, and the roasted neck finishes it off with a look that is beyond fantastic. The total weight is light, and feels really great. After I did some minimal fret work (slight filing of some ends), and height adjustments, I couldn’t put this guitar down for 90 minutes. It not only looks awesome, it is a total joy to play. I’ve been around a while, and I played in the hay days of rock (1960s) in bars and clubs in the midwest USA. I believe that I have owned or played “all” the major guitar brands ever made, so I know what is out there. All I can say is that I love this guitar and I would have used this in my gigs with no hesitation “back in the day” if I had it then. The fact that this is available for under $300 is unbelievable.

Everything about this guitar is absolutely amazing, the action is low and beautiful no buzz, the strings could be better but are for sure reliable. The weight and overall build of this guitar is true perfection, the tuning isnt bad at all either. This is for sure a great guitar for its price and would definitely recommend this for either a starter or first guitar.

I bought this basically to record with and to have as a backup. I did not expect a whole lot for the price, but this guitar has much going for it! The finish is nice, no problems to mention, The weight is very nice, good for sessions and gigs when a guitar is lightweight. The frets are not sharp at all, and the neck, though it is kind of chunky, should not be a problem for those with small hands. The single coil pickups are okay, may replace them in the future, the bridge pickup is fine, esp. with the coil tap switch, can get a decent single coil sound out of it. The tuners, are mid at best. Some turn easily, some need much pressure to turn, and the feel is not consistent with them, but surprisingly, they hold tuning. Still, am going to replace them for sure. Minus one star for the tuning. Overall, this guitar is great for beginning guitarists, just replace the tuners with better quality ones, and you will have an instrument to grow with.

First off I normally play the 1st edition Jeff Beck strat because it has the biggest neck that Fender used . Full 1 inch depth . I have carpal tunnel , the more your thumb extends away from the palm the better. Narrow necks cause you to bring your thumb closer to the other fingers which closed the carpal tunnel. So when people were complaining the neck is too big I was like what ? Sign me up. The Mocha one didnt disappoint , full 1 inch depth just what I wanted. Lightweight , another thing I wanted. After a fret polish and change of strings (you really got to change strings the stock ones are crap) this thing is a great player of me at jam at home with . I wanted something really light to sit in an easy chair and practice. Ok so I thought I like this neck so much I need a backup in case Grote decides people dont want a big neck and I ordered another one in black . This one the neck was too big by about 3 mm across. If it was just 3mm too thick I would of just sanded it down but this is across the fretboard where you would have to change out the frets too. Returned it and got a black replacement , this 3rd one had holes in the neck which if they were underside the neck I wouldnt mind but they were right at the 5th fret staring me down. Returned it . I am trying with a 4th one in Blue , fingers crossed this one is like the Mocha one and has no defects. Still 5 stars if you get a good one. Oh the actions can be set super low , Im at 1.2 at the high E and 1.5 at Low E.

One of the most common questions that asked is "How do they make this guitar so inexpensive". The answer on this guitar? Minimal setup. Thankfully, I know my way well enough around a set of tools to be able to set up, troubleshoot, and wire a guitar so for me, this was a minimal problem. For a beginner? This guitar will very quickly produce more arguments to give up than to continue practicing. I'm going to start with the headstock and work my way down. The tuners were loose and the retention screws had to be snugged in order for them to do their job. I've seen this on Fenders, Squiers, Gibsons, and Epiphones so it's neither here nor there. I don't know who in the cheaper markets decides that a double string tree is a necessity on any copy of a Squier/Fender...but it's not a necessity. Take the string tree off of the b & e strings, remove the string tree from the d & g strings and put it onto where the string tree for the b & e strings was. This smooths the tuning out and makes it a more fun guitar to play as well as reduces friction. The nut...everyone wants to know about the nut. It's plastic, it isn't lubricated. Detune the guitar and grab a mechanical pencil and mark the slots with graphite. That will lubricate the slots and allow the strings to slide up and down a little easier and make tuning more stable. The strings....wow, the strings....They are there because they are cheap and strings are expected. Honestly, IF you decide to purchase this guitar? Purchase a set of strings on the same order. The ones that come on this thing are there as a placeholder ONLY. You'll read multiple complaints about the neck here in the reviews. Either the truss rod needs to be adjusted, fret sprout causing slices in the hands, or uneven frets. This happens on any guitar. There is a large allen wrench that's included with the guitar that is there to adjust the truss rod in the neck which adjusts the bow or arch of the neck. A quick youtube search will instruct you how a truss rod works. My guitar DID need a truss rod adjustment which took all of 30 seconds. I had no fret issues, but I have had them on Gibsons and Fenders and the fix is a sanding sponge. Run the sanding sponge along the frets that are sticking out until it no longer hurts your hands. I had no problems with high or low spots on my frets surprisingly but for those that do? The solution is to get a sharpie, run it over the fretwires and then with a straight and flat edge (metal beam) go over the frets until no sharpie marks are on the fretwires, then crown them. While the neck appears to be rosewood...it has to be something that looks like rosewood but is a lot cheaper. Mine was dry as a bone, but some lemon oil rehydrated the wood and made it look a lot better. The wood that's used for the body is very lightweight. I have a classic vibe 50's squire that weighs at least a pound if not 2 pounds more than my grote. The grote is also very very soft. Paint is decent. Up close, you'll see a few imperfections here and there, from about 5 feet away, you're not going to notice anything special. Intonation......my guitar was NOT in any way shape or form intonated. The saddles were in a straight line, an intonated guitar should have a "lightning bolt" like shape to it. My low e string refused to intonate until I cut the saddle spring in half and only then was I able to intonate. Every other string intonated without issue. The tremolo/vibrato/whammy bar: My claw came with the screws buried into the wood. I won't go so far as to say that an impact driver was used to secure the screws, but it's metal on wood with 3 springs. For those that are familiar with the terminology, it was decked but not blocked. With a guitar this cheaply made though, you're better off not using the whammy bar at all. Electronics: Very cheap triple single coil setup. I had no issues until I went to use the neck position and the neck/middle position. I feel that it's a loose connection and can be solved with a soldering iron. Am I happy with this guitar? Yes, but only because I know how to fix the issues. This guitar cuts the financial corners to be sold so cheaply in two areas: parts, and quality control, and sadly it shows: BIG TIME The gig bag is a dust cover and should never be used to transport this guitar. If you're looking to acquire this guitar for someone that's new or doesn't know how to work on a guitar, please look to squier or Ibanez. This guitar will do far more to discourage someone that doesn't have the knowledge or the experience or at least be prepared to buy an additional set of springs and have a technician set up the guitar before you hand the guitar off. I'm not disappointed, I've purchased cheap guitars before so I knew what I was getting myself into with this one. "Let the buyer beware"

Got the Noble Blue and the finish is flawless. Wasn't sure about the Paulownia wood body but it sounds great without the weight. Pickups (HSS) are fine for the price and sound good. The humbucker on/off switch is a welcome addition. The body is slightly smaller than a standard stratocaster but doesn't affect playability. Have always liked naked maple necks and this is no exception. Only criticism is the strings. Change the strings. Minor intonation adjustments. Don't let this one slide. Buy it now.

Compares well to my Squire Bullet Strat, both give the impression of being "cheap but plenty playable". Fit and finish are reasonable with nothing glaringly out of place. Fret ends actually finished a little more nicely than my Squire; slightly fatter neck profile than with slightly wider frets. Tuners feel weirdly inconsistent but seem to at least hold tune. Pots and switches are solid, pickups aren't half bad if nothing to write home about. Super lightweight but still has a nice, resonant strum to it. Not a bad deal at all for the price. To anyone planning on using this as a mod platform: it has H-S-H routing under the pickguard and replacing said pickguard is going to require a little tinkering. I used a "standard" 11 hole replacement off Amazon and about half the holes didn't line up at all so you'll need to drill some new ones in the body which isn't a big deal. There are also some extra holes drilled next to the pots to keep them from rotating. Finally, you're going to need a Dremel or something similar to carve the neck cutout a little bit deeper. I basically just laid the old pickguard over the new one and drilled/carved where necessary to make the neck cutout and control notches line up. Not a bad little project as long as you've got the tools to do it.
