If you're in two minds about purchasing one of these because it's not a major brand, don't be! In terms of build quality and set up I can't fault it. I expected to spend half a day doing the usual trust rod, inter-notation, string height adjustments but, no need, it was perfect straight out of the box. More importantly, it's beautifully put together and sounds fantastic. As you can see, I'm very pleased and pleasantly surprised; an absolute steal for £170 including delivery.There isn't very much in the way of useful information on-line, so here goes: it's a relatively heavy guitar, about the size of your average acoustic; the hardware is good quality for the money, nicely finished and certainly does the job; I haven't measured the scale length but it's likely to be 24.75"; the neck is a comfortable thickness, beautifully finished and very, very playable; the body is made up of a center block with two hollow compartments; and, finally, sustain and tone are excellent (although possible a little muddy for metal fans).
