Not bad at all
I bought this LesPaul copy to mod it with Epiphone Muse electronics. Which to my surprise has a beautifully large route for the wiring. I will not have to remove the connectors to wire it.. bonus. The neck is functional. I'm going to level and polish the frets. For a quasi luthier that I am, the bang for the buck it excellent. Tuners are OK. The neck is a normal C shape. Pups are hot 12.0k neck and 12.4 bridge. Pots are cheap but I figured that going in. Nut is plastic. If you buy this guitar for straight playing, you'll need to take it in for a setup. It came with too much relief and the intonations were slightly off. The strings on it a more slinky than my ernie ball super slinking. All and all I'm very pleased with this little fiddle.

Great deal
✅ Straight neck✅ Good pups✅ No finish imperfections✅ No broken hardware✅ Fretboard isn’t very dry✅ No structural damage✅ Gig Bag✅ Cool strap✅ Beautiful Binding✅ Probably weighs ~9lbs (guess)✅ No microphonic feedback✅ By ear: Good intonation out of box⛔️ Frets a little sharp (doesn’t harm me when I’m sliding up and down the neck though)⛔️ Very cheap strings⛔️ Needs fret polish (it already got all over my fingers, naturally halfway there now! 😂)

You get what you pay for.
I bought the guitar knowing full well what I was most likely going to receive for the price. I've been looking for inexpensive project guitars, and this fit the bill. It plays okay out of the box, there is some fret buzz, so I'm probably going to have to level and crown the frets, they definitely need a polish job. The finish is nice, and actually better than what I expected. Unlike the product photo, there is no binding on the body of the guitar. There is paint on the binding of the neck, like they assembled the guitar and sprayed it without masking it off properly. There is a on the body near the cut out for the neck that will need fixing, and the neck is not seem less in the neck joint, I haven't removed it yet to see if it is shimmed, but there is a decent sized gap. The nut also doesn't seem like it was made for this neck, it doesn't fit in the slot properly. The body not being present on the binding is a disappointment, and I feel it doesn't justify the price increase over the purple or red burst paint jobs. If you're looking for something to tear down and revamp, or just a beginner guitar, you could go for this, but I would suggest just spending a few extra bucks and get an entry level Squier or Epiphone. I wouldn't say I have buyer's remorse, but I won't be buying another one, even for a project guitar.Edit. The electronics are not grounded so be prepared for terrible hum from the guitar.Edit 2. I spent some time working on the guitar, mainly leveling and crowning the frets, and basic setup. I left the electronics alone for now, as it does sound pretty good though my Orange Crush 30rt. Once I got it playable I do enjoy the guitar. If you're looking for something to hone your setup skills on but aren't ready to buy a DIY kit, these guitars are a good deal.

Beautiful, and extra goodies
Ok, it's just as beautiful in person as pictured! I bought this after I got the Leo Jaymz US Flag guitar, because it's white and bright, in opposition to the Leo. Great wall art for the price, whether it sounded good or not! FORTUNATELY, it sounds ok. The Leo has it beat as far as pickups go. The sound test comparison that I used: playing the Star Spangled Banner 😎😁. Now, it IS possible that the strings are really the factor. I didn't change them on either guitar. The action had to be lowered considerably on this guitar too. An inexperienced person wouldn't have liked playing it out of the box at all. It was simply a truss rod adjustment (wrench supplied). The two marked diffences in the pickups are lower volume, and a lot less sustain on the notes. The strings REALLY felt good to me on this guitar, and the frets were much smoother on the playing surface than the Leo, I didn't feel ANY grit, so I feel that points a bit more towards the pickups. For $119 though, it's a GREAT guitar! You can EASILY modify the pickups. It came with a decently padded gig bag (much better than the nylon sheets many come with at the price), cord, DECENTLY THICK picks (!), and a DECORATIVE strap!!! Unfortunately, the box for the strap shows a US flag strap, but it was a Union Jack style. Lol. Minor fail, but great effort! I had to buy one for the Leo. Oh! The only real reasons it got less than a perfect score are a crack in a volume knob ( playable, and you can feel it, easily replaced though), and the aforementioned pickups and strap mishap. If it were a more expensive guitar, those would have taken more than one star, but for THIS price, $119, the guitar was WAY too beautiful and just a great purchase to hold too much against it!I hope this helps others, and I hope all of your experiences are as good, or even BETTER, than mine!
