Good Points

- Light.
- Looks awesome.
- Tuno-O-Matic bridge.
- Long sustain.


Bad Points

- Hard to play when you stand up because the neck keeps pulling down (light body, heavy neck).
- Not comfortable on the knee.
- Dodgy pickups (feel loose and unstable).
- Hard to get rid of the buzz for moderate strumming.


General Comments

Well, it's a nice beginner, but hard to play punk with it because of the buzz, maybe I should change strings orso, my relief is 0.3 mm and my action is 2,4 mm for bass and 1,6 mm for treble strings at the 12th fret ... so it should go fine, but it isn't.

Playing while standing seems impossible, the neck keeps pulling down.

The finish is very well done, a real beauty!

It didn't go out of tune, only once, but that was a while after I changed the relief (I did tune it after it), but I think that's normal.
