As good as a pro guitar but...
Is not perfect but it is really good. Let's talk about the bad stuff first.1) Change the strings it comes with, strings are really important buy only reliable brands. Bad strings and bad string brands exists and can cause intonation issues.2) The bridge has a learning curve, the mecanism is really stiff, it is a little bit hard to tune you'll get used to; on the other side it offers really good tuning stability even whitout the locking nut.3) It needs a profesional trussrod setup. This is the hard one. I been setting up guitars fo 25 years and in order for this guitar to be playable you need to completely loosen the truss rod = rotate anti-clockwise and maybe even rotate it beyond this point for the necessary neck relif. This will result in the necessary neck relief to make this guitar play with low action. Mine was set at the point where truss rod is loose.4) Adjust string height. It is not perfect there is buzz in some frets here an there mostly when the strings are new but goes away when string cure. Even guitars that are more expensive do this too.5) Adjust pickup height. Because they are low gain I set them high but minded the string height so they don't touch or buzz.It is difficult to imagine having to play the guitar whitout doing all this and I know my local guitar shop would not be able to set it up right so knowing all this only an experienced guitar tech will make this playable. If you nail the right neck relif and string height you will minimize string buzz and improve the sound quality.The good stuff:1) Once the guitar is setup it does really a pretty good job it even performs like guitar costing 5 times more.2) In terms of body ergonomics it is really comfortable even more than my ibanez q. The neck of the q feels more polished with really low action and the amuse neck feels like a classic strat with normal action.3) The sound is that of a clasic strat, the pickups sound good. I like how the strings resonate against the neck it has that strat vibe and sound.4) Like I mentioned tuning stability Is really goob but at the same time it is hard to tune so it is a double sided sword but you get accustomed5) Comes with case and is smaller bit smaller than other headless really easy to carry around.Really good guitar.This is for amuse If they are reading this:I loved this guitar, I would love to see a guitar like this but with regular headless tuners, a little more body wood so that it does not look like a traveling guitar and fan multiscale frets option if you do this at low price like this a lot of people will buy it.

Smoooth!
Very surprised. This axe rocks. The demonstration vid features a lead on the neck pup and that's exactly how it sounds... fantastic! Love the matte, black finish. The neck is superb! And has a vulute at the head stock join. Nice feature for such an affordable guitar. I dig the headstock shape. It tunes up easy, and stays in tune. Super comfortable to play due to the smooth, unfinished neck. Only downside... it was shipped in a single box without any packaging. The tone knob for the bridge pup was shattered. Fortunately it was only cosmetic, so I replaced it, along with the strings and I was set to rock. It's not Asmuse's fault about the shipping mishap, just needed to mention it. Beyond that, I def recommend this item, it's a real bargain!

It's Heavy Man Really Heavy
It is very heavy almost too heavy. That being said the strings are enormous and will need to be changed the intuition is way off and in its present state is really hard to play. It does have dual Humbucker Pickups that sound nice. 4 unlabeled controls so you will have to guess. the switch for the humbuckers feels cheap so I am going to change that on mine. The neck strap is not good enough for a guitar of this weight so you will need to get a better one soon. After changing the strings and tuning up the body it is well worth the $130 price for a practice guitar after you buy strings and a new neck strap and an amp still good but not for the weak this is one heavy guitar body. Not something I would want to play in concert or spend long hours with. It is much better than a single coil strat practice guitar.

First guitar was unacceptable - Replacement guitar is better.
Updated Review 5/26/2023The replacement guitar arrived and this one is a bit better than the first one. This one was actually playable out of the box. It also had a QC sticker on the back of the neck. I just tuned it up and played it. Everything functioned as it should. The first few frets are still short and the treble e string was sitting close to the fret end, but not as bad as the first guitar. I did a neck set on this guitar as well and it fixed that issue for now. The string hasn't popped off since. I'll probably pop the nut loose and move it to the bass side 1/2 a mm or so at some point. Since I decided to keep this guitar, let's jump into a few things that might be important to some folks.Pickups (ceramic magnets) are very nice on this guitar. I frankly didn't expect them to be any good, but they are, IMO, very good. Probably the best pickups I've ever had in a budget guitar. They have clean bell chime and take moderate gain pretty good. The bridge humbucker comes with a red coil tap (NOT coil split) wire tucked under the heat shrink on the wiring lead. I replaced the factory tone pot with a push pull pot to make use of that and it is very useable. Here is what the DCR measurements look like. Bridge humbucker 9.68k, Bridge humbucker tapped 5.4k, Middle 4.76k, Neck 4.56k. These are well matched and are definitely staying in the guitar.This guitar has the licensed by KD bridge on it with the little magnetic crank. To me it's a novelty. It works ok, but it's quirky. The crank hits the other tuners when I try to use it. It's also coarse so you find yourself chasing each note sharp and flat back and forth a few times. The good news is that once it's in tune, it holds tuning very well and you can make minor adjustments with your fingers so you really don't have to use the crank after the string change. Personally I prefer the inline bridge system that my Leo Jaymz uses over this one. It's the type that Ibanez uses on their Q52 headless. I find that one better all around and just as stable.Bridge adjustment. This is a little different, but not hard. There are 2 small grub screws in each saddle. Loosen both of these before you make any adjustments. Take the tension off of the strings. Looking from the end toward the neck on my guitar the left screw is the lock and the right screw is the adjustment. If you lower a roller, it will move down and toward the neck. If you raise a roller it will move up and toward the output jack. Some of mine were sticky so I used the small hex wrench to help position them. This process will screw up your intonation so set the saddle height before you set your intonation. Once you have the height you want to gently snug down the lock screw. These strip easily so be careful. Remember that these screws will not be even like the screws on a Fender strat saddle. They don't work the same way. To set the intonation loosen the string and underneath it you will find another hex screw. Loosen that and you can slide the saddle back and forth to set your intonation. It's a typical stair step pattern. You can see it in the picture that I uploaded.That's pretty much it. Just do the setup to your specs, install your favorite strings and adjust the pickup heights where you want them.On my guitar I had to polish the frets since they were very gritty. Fret ends were fine and didn't need any attention. Oiled the fingerboard. Replaced the 2 black knobs with 2 pearl insert knobs from the parts bin that matched the dot inlays. I already mentioned wiring in the push pull pot. Set it up to my specs with my strings and that's it.Finally, I don't recommend this guitar for beginners or folks that do not do their own setup ups/adjustments. Having to pay someone to do that can easily exceed $100 and this is no longer a value at that point. Hope this helps someone.-----Original ReviewFor some reason Asmuse listed this exact guitar again when they already had a listing for this. Not sure why they did that, but here is my review of the original listing.This review is for the black double cut version that I received. I have a Leo Jaymz headless guitar with 2 humbuckers and wanted to add a headless guitar with single coils. This was the only one that I found that comes in a HSS configuration. This guitar arrived quickly and was well packed. Unfortunately, it's going right back. Every guitar should be playable out of the box regardless of whether or not they are budget or premium brands. This was a fail and don't accept anything less from this company. No more excuses and no more free passes. That time has come and gone. Here are the issues with this particular guitar.The white wire that connects to the jack was loose in the control cavity and needed to be soldered on. There was no output to the amp. There was a long exposed piece of ground wire that was also sticking out in the cavity and needed to be trimmed back.The first 4 frets are too short and that caused the treble e string to pop off of the fret ends. I tired to do a neck set, but it was not enough to help.For some reason they routed out the jack and switch locations AFTER they painted the guitar. Why they did that is beyond me. That leaves two bare wood spots in the control cavity. No big deal since no one can see it, but still it's something to note.There is a minor scratch on the back of the guitar. It could be easily buffed out, but I'm not going to fool with it.Because of the above, I cannot recommend this guitar to anyone.
