  • Really good quality and attention to detail
Just a great guitar for the price, set up was satisfactory except the intonation was off a bit. A quick fix and definitely not a deal breaker for the quality, smooth playing, really beautiful, nice sounding guitar that it is. She's definitely a keeper.

  • Great Guitar
Beautiful and vibrant in colors electric guitar. This was a gift for my fiancé as he had been looking for a vibrant blue guitar. He was stunned by the attention to detail in the guitar and the craftsman's work. He plays in a post-hardcore band and absolutely enjoys this guitar. It functions as it should. The guild has a nice build quality and plays effortlessly. I think that this was a great purchase for the price. ... show more

  • Absolutely Beautiful Guitar for a Bargain!
What really drew me in was the incredible look of this guitar. It has a high-quality aesthetic just by it’s looks. The blue burst color is just so unique and it stands out among my other guitars. I firmly believe in the idea of buying an instrument that makes you want to pick it up and play it. This one certainly does that for me! Enough about aesthetics, let’s talk build quality. So first and foremost you can’t expect top of the line with a budget/intro guitar like this. However, I will say that I was thoroughly impressed by it. Pros: It’s comfortable to play. The body style and shape are fairly versatile and comfortable for all players either standing or sitting. It’s a great beginner instrument just for this. The neck shape. I personally like the shape of this next. To me, it doesn’t feel super thin but it’s also not too thick and chunky. It has a good balance and feels relatively easily to play. Toggle switch. Pretty awesome to have a 5-way selector switch to really switch up your tone. All of my previous HH setup guitars just had a 3-way, but I like the versatility of the 5-way on this. The hip shot style bridge. Never had one like this before but I like the design. It’s alright for what it is and I certainly prefer it over the meticulousness of a cheap tremolo system on many budget guitars. Somewhat cons these aren’t necessarily bad but just not up to snuff: The tuners. They aren’t bad they’re just fine. Don’t expect the greatest stability ever but you might be surprised that they aren’t total trash. The fretwork. It’s a bit rough in spots. Of the guitars I own this is the only one that I can feel a bit of inconsistency and rough edges on the metal edges of the frets. As in, running my fingers along the edges of the neck I can feel some frets that feel tougher than others. Perhaps my biggest gripe when it comes to playability and quality. Pickups. Again, these are fine and they do the job. I think the neck has a pretty warm sound especially on a dialed in clean channel. Metal and rock on the bridge can get a bit muddy, and when comparing them to actives, they just don’t have as much bite and punch in a distorted tone. They still do the job and having a 5 way switch sort of makes up for them since you can get a bit more variation. Overall though, you can’t really beat this value. It’s a fantastic looking instrument that sounds good, and plays pretty well. Barring the few quality control issues, you’re getting a name brand guitar that’s going to hold up and be great for either a beginner who’s just starting, or an advanced musician that just needs a beat around guitar. ... show more

  • Very nice guitar
This is a beautiful guitar. It doesn’t feel cheap and it plays pretty nice. Good quality nice and light. My only thing with it is that the pickups sound a tiny bit muddy with distortion. I can live with it though. It does sound amazing on clean channels. I will eventually switch out the pickups for something better. I am very happy with the guitar. I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Great for price
I love it actually, sounds good, plays nice. I am very happy the way it came, was pretty much tuned to drop c, and intonation was about spot on. So happy with everything

  • Great guitar with one minor defect.
I love the guitar, and it sounds great, but the bridge was just slightly off center, and the top E string will roll over the edge of the frets. Minor inconvenience, but I would reccomend because it might just be mine with this issue.
