The bridge saddles were all set as high as possible with no arc to match the fretboard radius. This results in super high strings. Combined with the super high nut mentioned above, and this guitar was unplayable out of the box. After lowering the saddles a LOT and matching their heights to the fretboard radius I was able to play the guitar. But the high nut made it rather difficult. A beginner would not remotely know how to make these adjustments.

This frustrated me enough that I set it aside to fix when I had time. Several months later I took a few hours to nearly completely disassemble this guitar, make some adjustments, and reassemble. What it needed

The description lists the body and fretboard as Basswood. I don’t know what the fretboard actually is. It looks different than any fretboard I’ve ever seen. But it is NOT basswood. The top surface looks OK, but the sides of the fretboard are chipped in places, and covered in rough varnish, glue or something in other places. One amazing feature it has is the guitar tuner that comes with a battery. It has a clip-on which can be used to attach it to the guitar and proceeds to guide you as you play, ensuring that you are not playing off-key.

It is well suited for playing while sitting, using the comfortable strap it comes with, and the extra high-quality strings it comes with. The nuts on the tuning machines were also just barely finger tight. All needed tightened so that the tuners didn’t wobble.The 20W amplifier has ports for headphones and guitar connector cables to boost sound. There is also a clip-on (digital) with a guitar tuner attached to it. The guitar tuner has an LCD screen (coloured) The saddles were high as well. Brought them all down… then raised a few as needed to eliminate buzz. Almost every screw on the guitar needed about a half-turn to be tight. I suppose this is better than every screw being overtightened so that the screw holes were stripped. The accompanying 10-watt guitar amplifier is a great addition to the kit. With tone and gain controls, it offers flexibility in shaping the guitar’s sound. The headphone output allows for private practice sessions, ideal for late-night or quiet rehearsals. The carry handle adds portability, making it easy to transport the amp wherever you go. IYV Les Paul copy I haven’t tried one of these yet, but I know LOTS of people who have and love them.
