Purchase: I bought this guitar online for 155 bucks, it is the guitar i started out with, and overall it is an average guitar, you cant think of any real good reason not to buy it for that price, plus it has stunning style
Pros: Perfect for the begining guitarist, and takes a beating, better looking than most others in the price ranges, but the playability isnt too great, after a year or so you start noticing little things you wont like, pick-ups come loose, knobs fall off, (only because they are HIGH quality metal knobs) frets are too tall, and the strings often buzz and rattle, and it can trail out of tune after a few good hours of playing.
Cons:
Quality: Overall good quality, little problems here and there, good to start with
Review Summary: find it cheap and just starting go for it, but dont expect anything special, just a pretty looking starter

Purchase: I bought this piece of shite from Gamlins in Birmigham for £200. I dont know why I bought it because it would have been a better use of money to wipe my fat, hairy ass with the cash.
Pros: There isn't really anything I like about the Guitar because it is shocking. It plays like a hippo with a bamboo pole stuck up its ass sideways. I hate the guitar so i am going to play my trobone.
Cons: When I first got it out of the box I realised what a terrible mistake I had made because it looked like a highland cow with a lampost stuck up its ass sideways. The guitar is constantly falling out of tune. Then when I tune it the Machine Heads fell off. The pickups are shit and sound like a tranny in a wind tunnel with a pylon stuck up it's ass sideways. So as you can tell I am rather pissed off and I like things stuck up the ass sideways. I would carry on but I have ran out off room.
Quality: I think the guitar is stuck together using badger spunk. The tone knobs keep coming loose and the pickups have come out four times in as many months. The paint work is as thin as piss and the paint rubs off when you solo on it.
Review Summary: The Bottom line is that I am proud of my purchase and would definately reccomend this guitar to all my friends (in case you cant tell I am being sarcastic). I wouldn't give this crap 1 star but as i have to I have given it 1.
