I bought this guitar after a sound guy busted the neck of my Gibson style tokai. My other guitar is a fender strat, and I was looking for a hybrid of the two, and this looked like it fits the bill.
When I got this guitar the first impression was that it looks way better than in the photos. Great start! It also feels great holding and handling, but it sounded a bit underwhelming out of the box. Also, the volume knob was noisy the first time I played it (but that went away quickly). but after strings change, setup, and replacing the pickups from my now deceased tokai, this guitar looks great, feels great, sounds great, and the price is really unbelievable.
I would say, definitely get it, and use the extra money you saved to buy killer pickups and you've got a great guitar.
