Review: Great value! - This guitar turned out to be very decent. Finish: excellent, flawless, I couldn't find a single scratch anywhere. The satin black finish is very beautiful and smooth, and the woods used in the neck are great. Electronics: for this price the pickups are ok, not microphonic, I would like them a bit hotter, but they are usable. The coil splitter for the humbucker works well and produces a nice tone, especially on the second position when combined with the middle pickup. Output Jack is good, pots do their job, although the tone could be more gradual. All of the pickups sound good in clean and overdriven sounds. Setup: it was good out of the box, I lowered the action a bit because that's how I like it, but it was playable upon arrival, intonated. Truss rod works fine. Frets could use some polishing Neck: something to be aware of, this neck is chunky, I measured 22.5mm at the first fret. I guess you could sand it down, but I don't have experience doing that, for now I'll leave it as is. The wood grain and color on the neck are very beautiful, very smooth to play. Fretwire is medium jumbo I think, that makes it comfy to bend strings, and gives plenty of material if fret leveling is required. No fret sprout at all. *The body size seems to be smaller than average strats, this guitar is very light which is good if you have back issues.
Review: Fantastic Fretwork - The five stars are for the neck, the fret work, the set up and the color. I would give the pick ups about three stars. But that’s to be expected on this lower price guitar. And the strings get one star. That’s the first thing I always change on a new guitar are the strings. I wanna say this is the best action set up I’ve gotten on any guitar I bought with the exception of my ESP. The action was set low just like I like it and the neck is perfect. The frets are all level with no fret sprout. Nothing snags on these frets. There is nothing really to not like about this guitar. The only negative thing for me is I was expecting the fretboard to be glossy, but it’s just satin finish. and from my research, I thought it was going to be a 12 inch radius but it’s more like 14. The tuners are OK. it’s a very nice looking guitar and it plays well. no gig bag. if I was a beginner and I could get this guitar set up the way this one is I would definitely get it for the first guitar. The neck and the fret work is much better than fender Squires. I know ,I own three. The pick ups are a little microphonic, but that’s no problem for me. I have amplifiers and gadgets where I can make it sound better than it is,fortunately. For $109 I would definitely recommend this for anyone that just wants a first guitar or an extra. it comes with the whammy bar and hex key. Also has a cord that is nothing to brag about. The tuners get about 3 1/2 stars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very bright tonewood amazing project guitar.
*by M***K on December 7, 2025*

What $100? Well, the first guitar I received had a defective neck. The fretwork was poor, and it was cracked along the top. Amazon promptly sent me a replacement. The second guitar is incredible. It has a nice, bright tonewood body, a roasted maple neck with a roasted maple fingerboard. The pros of this guitar are its very bright sound. It’s excellent for thicker strings, giving you that cutting vintage tone. The second neck I received is beautiful, smooth, straight, and plays fast. The electronics were fine; I didn’t need to touch them. It’s a great project guitar. The cons are that it might not be suitable for beginners because the neck is very thick. However, if you have larger hands, this is a great starter guitar. It played very well right out of the box. However, I wanted to use this professionally, so I made a few changes. I added Dopro locking tuners, Fender and Lace sensor pickups, and a Fender vintage tremolo. The fretwork was minimal, but it plays and sounds like a dream. few adjustments to the bridge and neck, and it’s as good as my professional guitars. It certainly has its own personality, different from any other guitar I own.
