Electric Guitar, Solid Electric Guitar Consists of a Roasted Mahogany Body and Maple Neck,Professional/Full Size Mercury Electric Guitar for Adults.

Completely satisfied with this instrument. Playable right out of the box. Though it will benefit greatly from a full setup. (As does any guitar at any price) if you are looking to play this as it comes it is absolutely fine. Especially if u are a novice. ( and not worried about tone yet) The only real negative is the stock bridge pickup. The neck pickup is decent and totally useable but the bridge is pretty bad tone wise and tends to feedback very easliy. But i am not shocked or disappointed. Honestly, for the price they sound as I expected. And I am pretty impressed with the neck pickup.The build quality is very impressive at this price....maybe even several times this price. The tuners are decent. They have some play in the tuning mechanism but were otherwise smooth and held tune well. Im not sure what the nut is made of... bone...maybe. plastic....probably. but it is cut well and seems fairly hard. The frets were very smooth and level with no dead spots. Fret ends were nicly rounded and comfortable. No fret sprout at all. :) And HEY STAINLESS STEEL!! Very nice. Fretboard was dry but oiled up nicely. The neck itself is smooth c-shape pattern maybe a little chunkier than modern teles, but only slightly. And FYI the neck is not reliced or worn In any way. Not a good or bad thing but if you are expecting all parts of this guitar to be reliced...they are not. Actually only the body is.The body is HEAVY. Guitar weighs in at just under 10 lbs. It is Very solid and quite resonant. The finish is a solid relic job and looks great to me. The purple has a metallic shine and looks great against the dark elm wood. Way better in person than photos. It has a nice tummy cut and arm contour. As well as a slim comfortable neck joint. Very impressive. I like this relic job better than some ive seen on guitars 10x as expensive.Hardware is solid. The bridge even has brass saddles. Nice touch. Electronics worked well and had no issues.Out-of-the-box it played well. Sounded ok(after a little amp tweaking). And felt quite comfortable. It is a solid guitar and an amazing mod platform. With some basic maintenance it will be a great guitar. Add a few upgrades and it will be mind-blowing!TLDR:Amazing value!! Highly recommended!

This is my second Censtar, and I have to say I'm impressed.PROS:- Quarter Swan Roasted Maple Neck. That's right, this is not just a maple neck, this is a quarter-swan roasted maple neck. It is not just a finish. Believe me, I confirmed. This being a quarter-swan neck is probably the luck of the draw as my first Censtar did not have a quarter-swan neck, but this one did. See the pictures. I was surprised. The neck feel is amazing, by the way. It is not small, more on the bigger side, but feels good. Probably my favorite part of this guitar is the neck.- Good Pain Job. It has a simple, but well-done paint job. Enough said.- Bridge alignment - Sometimes cheap guitars have cheap alignment on the bridge, making the strings lean more to one side than the other from the center line of the instrument. Both my Censtars had perfect alignment. Great here.- Good Frets - Well pressed frets. No buzzing. They aren't super shiny and could use a better polish, but I haven't experienced excessive buzzing on these. Straight fret job.- Good Tuners - The tuners (although not my preferred style) are solid. I tested the Ratio, they're 18:1, and they feel smooth and solid. I did not have to change them on this guitar, which is something I typically have to do on most. So unless you want a certain style of tuners, you should be more than good with these.- Good Strap Buttons - These keep your strap in place with more of a mushroom tip on them. I typically replace all my cone-shaped buttons with mushroom-shaped ones, but this comes with that stock. Great feature.- Pickups are not bad at all. I measured around 8.5K on the neck and 13.5K on the bridge. They sound just fine and are well-balanced in terms of audio volume. They are not microphonic or anything like that. You can play them and enjoy the guitar.- Full-sized Pots.- Correct Pots – It has a Linear pot for the Vol (A) and an Audio (B) pot for the Tone. This gives the Vol Pot more control.- Has coil split on the humbuckers!CONS:- The bridge hardware seems cheap. The chrome on the bridge saddles was kind of bad, and the bridge is unusually tall where the saddle screws meet the bridge.- One edge of the body (at the bottom of the guitar) was not radiused well, making it look and feel sharp (like a 90-degree). This is something I’ve noticed with Censtars, the edges of the bodies are not very clean and some edges are not rounded over.- Cheap pickup switcher. It has a cheap ( but silent and smooth) breadboard pickup switcher. Works well, and might just keep it because it’s smooth and silent.- The mini switch (to coil split) has three positions when only two are needed. So the bottom position does nothing. I checked and confirmed the wiring. This is a simple fix, however.- The string spacing at the nut is wrong. I measured string spacing at the nut at approximately 34.3mm, while the nut is at 41.6 mm, so it feels and looks narrow. There’s plenty of space to make it wider. I recommend a Tusq XL Nut 5000-00 which has a spacing more of 35.18mm - 35.35mm.

Having played many "budget" and "Starter" pack guitars. This one really stands out. I was pleasantly surprised and nearly shocked at how much value is in this guitar. Solid materials and construction. The Tele shape is one of the most universally comfortable shapes for playing seated, as well as Standing. The dual humbuckers sound great, but are also designed with a three way coil tapping feature. They can perform as Normal H-buckers, Single Coils and also as P-90 style single coils. While these coil tapping sounds won't fool strat purists they get some very similar tones. This is a very versatile guitar and perfect for a beginner or an intermediate player. I am using mine as a slide guitar with slightly raised action. It came with 10 gauge strings and a decent setup that only needed slight adjustment. Tuners and hardware feel solid and decent quality. Neck is rigid and straight. did not need to adjust the truss at all. I would highly recommend.
