This guitar is absolutely the best guitar I have played under 500$. The hardware is great. Very solid. The pickup selector switch could be a bit sturdier but yeah, its fine as it is unless you are bashing it a lot. I think the stock pickups are also VERY good for stock pickups in a guitar in this price range. I bought a jackson a few years ago for over 400$ and the pickups didnt come close to these. The body on this guitar resonates very well, and upon arrival the guitar was set-up great! The frets are very level, and the neck is very easy to play. The shorter scale length gives the guitar a nice feel as well. The look of this guitar is fantastic. The binding truly complements the color I have (blue). I would like to add that the inlays are also very nice. They are not so over-the-top that they look cheesy, but rather are very suiting to this guitar.
I would also like to add that Andy Hamm (the company owner) is a great guy to deal with. Do not hesitate to ask him any questions regarding his guitars, as he is very informative and honest. Thanks again Andy for the great guitar!

I usually run this guitar through my marshall dsl50 head and 1960a cab. Other times I use pedals, and even a PA system every week.
