UTILIZATION

Here's my take on this guitar. For the price, it is either good, or very bad. What I mean by this is that the quality of the guitar itself is inconsistent from one example to the next. Some of them are good $119 guitars, and some are basically firewood. The wood seems to be very soft, and doesn't take abuse well. At this price, one would expect it to go to a young beginner, so one should be aware of that fact. I used to work for a major guitar retailer that stocked these, and I'd see good examples and bad examples of these. Many of them came in with broken headstocks from the factory, with no discernable damage to the shipping box. But some were decent-playing instruments. Either way, make sure you play the actual guitar you want to purchase before deciding.

SOUNDS

The sound of the guitar is passable for its application. It makes sound, doesn't hum too much, and offers a degree of control and sculptability. The pickups are fairly lifeless, not imparting much to the tone, but one would probably not expect that much performance from pickups for a guitar at this price. The switch and knobs are especially shoddy feeling, so I wouldn't expect durability from them.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar, again, is pretty crappy, but some of them are set up well out of the box. The main things I'm recommending here are twofold - 1) If you want this guitar, make sure you actually play the guitar you will get, or at least make sure the store has a return policy. 2) If you want this guitar, don't, and get an Ibanez GIO series instead. It is a better buy for the price range.
