Review: Excellent guitar - I was very impressed with the quality, finish and playability of this guitar. I've been playing for 30 years and own about a dozen electric guitars of various makes across a wide range of prices. I wanted to get an SG to play some classic rock and have fun with. I didn't expect much for the price, but I tried this guitar and the G400 Pro and honestly preferred the feel of this one. The guitar came boxed with an inner box to protect it during shipping. Although playability out of the box was fairly good, I had to perform a setup to get the guitar exactly as I wanted. I removed the strings, rubbed down and oiled the fingerboard, then strung it with D'Addario 10-46 nickel wounds. The truss rod required a quarter turn adjustment to get the neck profile straight. The intonation and action were pretty much perfect out of the box. I just raised the action a tiny bit to make it more in line with my other instruments. The pickups are a bit darker than a traditional SG and while they sound great heavily overdriven, the clean sound is a bit lacking in character. After a week or so of playing, I replaced the pickups with a set I bought from desertcart: https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B009A5JA98/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These pickups are amazing value for money and sound fabulous. However the pickup frame was larger than the original stock pickups so I had to rout the body slightly to get the new pickups to fit. This was a simple operation which only took me 10 minutes to do with the Dremel. After a bit of work, this guitar now looks, plays and sounds like a professional instrument. It's rapidly becoming my favorite guitar to jam with. I love it!
Review: Very good playability and workmanship - The finish was excellent, the frets pretty smooth and the fret ends rounded pretty well. You could file down more if you are a stickler for that, but it doesn't affect my playing at all. The setup was good out of the box. Relief was correct, and intonation was pretty good, but not perfect. Action is good for most styles of playing, although you could set it lower. I wanted a bolt on neck so I can tear it down and put it in a suitcase. I was worried it would wreck the setup, but the neck joint is cut precisely, and it went back in place without losing anything, except I had to set the bridge height. I'm not saying anything about tone, because I'm only played on a cheap practice amp. I think it's a great guitar for beginner or intermediate. Granted, from the reviews not everyone has been as lucky as me in terms of setup and quality. I've had this guitar about a year.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More than enough for beginners
*by R***N on June 10, 2026*

This was my very first electric guitar. I purchased it in 2019 and was more then good enough for a beginner like me at the time. Highly recommend for the price
