Oh well, never seen a review of one of theese, so i think i might aswell do one.This thing came to me three days ago. I kinda wanted a mustang type guitar for both my Nirvana cover act and my Alternative band.

When it came, it was setup pretty horribly, but what do you want for that amount of money (3400,- CZK) The string action was like 5mm high, but it came with such a thin strings, taht it didn't really matter(i think they were .8-.42s) I took some trusty Dean Markleys, 10-52's, that i really like and started setting it up. I had to shim the flush mounted neck, which fixed my action problems and now it

plays really nicely. I also had to redress two of the frets, which kept buzzing, but now they are fine.

THE NECK

The neck is really the nicest thing on this guitar. It has your usual nice fat exact copy of the CBS headstock, which for some reason didn't bring this czech brand under lawsuit, the profile is really nice too, almost like my friend's 1972 'stang. The fret edges came pretty nicely polished, but i will probably round them off even more the next time i change the strings. The rosewood board is slab type, the inlays are nice looking clay.

I absolutely love the neck.

THE BODY

The body feels really nice. It is contoured and painted with nice black poly. I will sooner or later go sonic blue nitro, but i kinda like it as it is new. The thickness is pretty much the correct mustang one, so i have no idea how much wood is under the trem...

The pearloid guard is not your cheap photo one, but a real nice 3D one which is extremely eye-catching i must say, and it even made most of my guitarist friends think i cut it myself from some super expensive pearloid. The guard protrudes to the part that should be metal, which i kinda like since when i install jazzmaster knobs, it will look like a child of a jazzmaster and a mustang 😀

THE PICKUPS

Okay those are the nicest pickups i have ever seen in a chineese guitar. Beautiful dynamic range, compensated polepieces and not very hummy. The both on combination sounds very musically and kinda like a acoustic. The neck is your typical 80's grunge with some nice DS-1 or big Muff. It will get hotrailed tho, because it is becomming my main gigging axe.

There is only one problem, and that is those are jaguar switches, so it is only on-off and no inverted phase.

THE TREM and THE BRIDGE

Okay, this is the only ####ty thing on here. It is the allparts jm tremolo, and it just feels like ####, i hardtailed the guitar tho, so i dont really care. It misses the trem lock.

The bridge is your classic tune-o-matic, which misses any height adjustment and just freesits on two posts. All the action adjustment is done by shimming the neck, which worked absolutely fine for me and didn't take me too long to do.

CONCLUSION

PROS:

-Super nice neck feel

-CBS headstock

-Beautiful guard

-Nice pickups for the price

-It is great for you know you're right type of songs, thanks to the jag/jm trem with the strings behind the bridge to do weird sounds 😀

-looks stunning

CONS:

-Atrocious setup from the factory

-Non adjustable bridge

-Brutal dog#### of a trem

-Jaguar switches

All in all, i really love the guitar, and i am really happy with it. It is really inspirative, thanks to the jm behind the bridge area and the shortscale neck. It sounds really really nice and i will happily recommend it to everyone seeking this kind of a guitar who is not worried about doing some guitar techy stuff 😀
