From the reviews, I expected this guitar to be a steal. However, I got just what I paid for, an OK sounding, possibly moldy, below average guitar.
When I first opened it, I had very high expectations and hopes. However, I was a little disappointed when I saw that the paint was not that full, looked like it needed another coat. I was happy that the guitar came with D'addario strings, (phosphor bronze wound) but they weren't my style (too bright) so I immediately replaced them with Elixer Nanoweb. However, that still didn't fit me. As you can see, I'm still new in the string business, and will probably try D'addario Silk and Steel next time.
Speaking of changing the strings, the high e tuning peg was very loose. I fixed this problem with a handy screwdriver. When I tried to release the string, it would not spin all the way out, so I could not change the string. It spins just enough for me to tune comfortably, but impossible to change the string. The peg was also very oily.
The guitar sounds loud and deepish, but not considerably so compared to my old guitar. Yes, the Rogue is better, but only slightly.
After playing for a bit, I noticed that the lower block of wood on the inside next to the hole was covered in dust, and looked like mold. This immediately dropped 2 stars from my hopeful state. Also, the lining of the guitar hole was not completely painted, there were small patches of visible wood.
At first glance, people would see this as a below-average guitar, and people may or may not see the unpainted lining. Although I'm no expert on guitars, I would save up a little more to buy a better guitar if I were you.
On a side note, I bought this from Musician's Friend. It arrived a bit later than expected, and the flaws might be because of them.
