Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So I never saw a review for this guitar when I was buying it. Now that I have owned it for about 6 months and play it everyday I think I'm knowledgable enough about it to tell you what your really buying.
Pros:
The pickups are nice. They sound great! To compare I have a epiphone les paul ultra 2. These AXL (EMG) pickups sound better than they do. I would give the sound a 7 out of 10 (gibson 498/490 being 10). I like the weight distribution and the look. You can really feel the blues on this puppy.
Cons
The construction stunk right out of the box. I had to sand the area around the nut to make it flush. When I changed the strings to heavier gauge the rattled so after some work on the nut I was able to get it set up well enough. Still rattles a little. The tuners are iffy. 3 of the string goes out of tune faster than the others. I'm guessing the tuners are not all set up perfectly. I would give the construction of this guitar a 3 out of 10(10 being gibson or heritage)
All in all. If you take the time to set it up you might have a great guitar. I actually play mine a lot. i don;t think I'd sell it just yet. But don't expect anything more than a 250 dollar guitar(it costs 375) as far as the build quality. If you want build quality get a Ibanez artcore, the construction is solid but the details like being flush is lacking. If you want sound this is 700 dollar sounding guitar for the price of 375
