This is a fantastic guitar that punches above its price point! I’ve had excellent experiences with it where it matters. The setup has become extremely stable after tinkering with it for a while. In this video I cover a few things that I both like and dislike after having this guitar for a while, but the things I like outweigh the dislike.
The floating bridge arm has become loose. Thankful I am not a huge trem arm user but if you are, this is important information to know.
