| Reliability & Durability |
I've had this guitar and dealt with other ones of the same model and have found that they have a chronic cracking on the sides of the neck by the bridge. Every single one I have come across seems to have this, but it does not seem to effect tuning stability, at least not in the ones I have used. Another issue I have with this guitar is the nut and bridge. The nut is cheap plastic and wears down really quickly. The bridge seems to be a weaker metal that "melts away from it's position causing some buzzing. The electronics also are not of high quality, and I have had to do re-soldering to fix some issues. One last issue that is more of a production issue, I have found that the necks very in size. I lucked out and got a nice thin neck, but I have felt some that are baseball bats, and some that are big but not too big to smaller than mine.
