    For the $$$, you can't go wrong. (GC does price match) The finish on this guitar is striking, which is what initially caught my eye on the big wall of guitars. HSS configuration 👍👍 Mine came fresh out of the box (when I got it home) as they had an unopened one in the back. High E popped in shipping and traveled around inside the box. The ball end put a small scratch on the back side. Stuff happens, not the end of the world. Upon hearing this, GC gave me a new set of strings. Excellent customer service on their part. (4 ⭐️ rating needs to peel the film off of their pick guard) After a quick set up, the guitar feels and plays great. The only thing I'd add - maybe locking tuners?

    I love the Blue Burst finish on the body, but mine came with scratches all over the pick guard. It looks worse than my older guitar's pick guard after months of training . The rest of the guitar is beautiful and in new condition and plays well so I will keep it.

  • Perfect great for beginners

    I got this as my first guitar and it works perfectly. It has a nice clean tone and a warm sound. Finger board is nice and polished. I would recommend people to buy.

    I like the maple guitar neck, and the blue green swirl in it.

    Do you mean rolled frets? No, but they're not sharp.
