Finish is fine, I didn't like the pickguard color which is light blue and I couldn't see it on the product photos, but obviously this is just personal taste. Neck is typical cheap guitar "fatso" and since I'm an ibanez guy, I think I'll have to do something with it. Fretwork was fine. Tuners work, people complain about stability but haven't played that long to have my own opinion.... Pickups are nothing special, volume and tone controls similarly nothing special. I played on a modeler, no noise, no feedback nothing weird, but I'm not sure this will be the case with a loud amp as well...Bridge seems to be a toy and maybe it will be one of the first things to replace...Do yourself a favour and replace the strings it comes with, before you play it, and thank me later! Overall I bought it because I was looking for a cheap strat style guitar with maple fretboard...The mahogany body was a great bonus.
