I am very happy with the way this guitar looks , plays and sounds. it did take me a little time to get use to it . if heavy player, the guitar has one sound , if light playing it has another , both sounds are great and useful. the pic ups are really good, if you want a sweet clear sound turn the am up and keep the volume on the guitar a little lower the pic up over drives easy . if you want more over drive turn you amp down and turn guitar volume louder and it overpowers the amp easy causing it to overdrive. the pic ups are string specific even when over driven. each string can be heard and doesn't all run together. very nice. mine came pretty much set up , played great this is a real guitar and at this price I expected much less, i still don't see how they are selling them at this price a quality instrument. this is a fun guitar and when I need it to be a beast that sings. but that's not good enough for me so i researched how these are made in indonesia and they are made not that much different than the way they are made here in the usa. I might get another one because I don't think this guitar for this price will stay this price long. this guitar is work twice as much as they are asking for.

I received the guitar in great condition except for one if the frets had come loose in transit so it’s essentially unplayable. I’m sure it’s not a QA issue as every other SE I’ve played seemed ok. Hopefully just a fluke.
