Wow this is a very well-made guitar. Roasted maple neck/fretboard are extremely smooth and comfortable. The hand-polished, rounded frets are smooth as butter and make sliding up/down the neck a breeze. Everything stock on the guitar works well.

I purchased the guitar to mod out/upgrade. I didn't need to at all, but I did since I already had the upgraded parts. I also re-wired with vintage push-back cloth wire and upgraded the jack to a Pure Tone jack. Once again I must reiterate I did not need to do a thing to this guitar. The set-up/string height was perfect right out of the box. The ash body definitely adds weight to the guitar, and also gives the guitar a great tone. I really like the neck stock p90- had an Alnico 5 neck p90 ready to go but kept the stock pup since it sounds so good. The stock PAF bridge humbucker also sounds really good. I swapped for a black Alnico 5 1/2 hotrail/1/2 hex humbucker. I kept the stock PAF to put in another guitar down the road. Vintage machine heads work well. I swapped for black ones but the black ferrils were too wide so I kept the chrome ferrils which makes it look really cool and unique with both black and chrome machine head components. I did not feel like using a dremmel to widen the machine head holes to make the black ferrils fit. I also swapped the chrome vintage saddles for black steel ones. The stock saddles worked just fine. I definitely think this would be an excellent guitar for someone just starting out on their guitar journey. The only thing I'd recommend doing would be swapping out the stock strings. That's a very simple uograde. The stock strings work I just down-tune so use much heavier gauged strings 56-12's. Synthetic bone nut does the trick too. Had a Tusq XL nut ready to go as well but I'm keeping the stock nut. I only wish it was a string thru body, but it still has great sustain and definitely stays in tune.

I have many, many guitars which I've all upgraded from head to toe. I have many brands in the inexpensive to middle priced category along with a few Gibsons and a high-end Martin acoustic. Eart, IYV, Grote, Firefly, Harley Benton, etc. This guitar is right up there in quality with my 2 Earts which both run around $400- double what this guitar costs. I'm very impressed with the build quality, sound, playability, and look. I've always wanted a "sea foam" green Thinline Tele. Now I have an excellent one. I will definitely pick up the LP with p90's and the SSH Strat down the road. I'm really impressed with Gear It.

The Positives- I love the offering of a thin line teli with a unique combination of a hum bucker and a P90. I think that is cool and really special. The color, binding and finish are all great. The ball-end frets are nice. The tuners are adequate and seem to hold tune okay.
The Negatives- The bridge saddles hum and buzz no matter how you adjust them, so I had to replace them. The nut was cut a little high, so there were tuning and intonation problems. The F-hole cutout is kinda rough and unfinished. The pickups are not balanced well or refined, though you can dial in some good tones. It is fairly heavy for a semi-hollow at 8.0 lbs.
All in all though, I am very happy with my purchase. With a little bit of work, this can really be a beautiful instrument!

The guitar came nice out of the box. No sharp fret ends (fret sprout).
Pickups are nice sounding. Set up was quite good. The guitar was well packaged and came with no obvious damages because of the nice prep. I'm an impressed 76 year old picker.
I didn't like that it came 2 days later than promised.
I am skeptical of the tuners as they feel weak and I will probably replace them with locking tuners asap as soon as I investigate what is a comparable replacement.
Other than that a 9 out of 10 so far.

I wasn't expecting much but it was very inexpensive, on sale and there was a 10% coupon.

This guitar came needing a set up which I expected. Lower strings buzzed badly. Got out the tools and went at it. Raised the already low action on the low E and A strings which got rid of the string buzz. Then went to work on the intonation. Two very simple fixes. Even raising the saddles the action is still super low. The neck is smooth. The frets are clean and rounded nicely.

Plugged it into the amp and I got to say this thing is sweet. Yes, the pickups are not super robust but they have a nice spank to them. Controls are tight, no static. Push pot for coil split brings out nice tones on the humbucker.

I'm impressed that for the money you can get this much guitar. It's really not fair but I'll take it. I can't wait to take this to a jam and stun people.

Oh and this thing is heavy, too. You can feel the weight of the ash and maple. It felt great in my hands and sounds awesome for the price point

Reviews were above average, for an inexpensive guitar this looked ok. The first was unusable, back-bow like I've never seen. 48 hrs later, I had another... This time i could do a complete set-up. Very playable low cost guitar!
