Well finished and great looking guitar, but I know why it's cheap
It looks great. The flamed top on the body and finishing were flawless. Most of it feels well built and sturdy. The nut is a plastic one. Feels pretty good on your lap, but right out of the box everything under your fretting hand felt a bit clunky. The neck is ok, but the frets stand out quite a bit and you really feel them. This is probably a personal preference, but I found it a bit disturbing. The tremolo is stiff as hell, at least with all the three springs. I haven't gone through the trouble of trying to adjust it - I just removed the bar. But what really made me shove the guitar into the corner of forgotten instruments were the pickups. I mainly play hard rock, heavy metal etc. and the sound was just too thin, metallic (in a bad way) and sharp. Not a nice sound at all. I kinda anticipated this and was prepared to buy and install new pickups. I ended up buying the Seymour Duncan hotrodded set (Sh4 and Jazz), and that really transformed the guitar. So, it's not perfect but if you upgrade some parts, you get a really nice PRS clone. My total investment with the guitar and better mics was ~540 EUR.
