This guitar is clearly for students and for people who are new to the world of electric guitar. The pickups in clean sound are....good? In the single positions they make noise but in the middle positions they are quite good. I wish I could say the same for the distortion. I don't know if it's a guitar or amplifier issue, but this set is not suitable for heavy metal. On the fretboard, while it has good grip, there are some issues. During bends, you will easily hit the wood and scratch it a little, and also in some frets there is a gap underneath that allows the string to pass through and get stuck (usually the e string). But okay, it's worth its money. It's perfect for someone who is starting with electric and wants to spend a little money. Also, it's a beautiful guitar. I recommend it.
