Members BydoEmpire Posted July 11, 2013 Members Share Posted July 11, 2013 Not awful, but not hot either. Despite the unusual aspects (inlays, pickups) it's very plain Jane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted July 11, 2013 Members Share Posted July 11, 2013 Call me a gear snob but it doesn't matter how good it is, it still says "First Act" on the headstock. Therefore definitely not hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stormin1155 Posted July 11, 2013 Members Share Posted July 11, 2013 Looks like someone got too close to the pickups with steel wool. I'm sure it's a good guitar, but I just can't get past the Walmart image. I'll bet they would sell a lot more of their high end stuff it they branded it differently.

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted July 11, 2013 Members Share Posted July 11, 2013 I like it, but not $700 like. $150-$200 sure if it plays good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted July 11, 2013 Members Share Posted July 11, 2013 Those pics are the reason that steel wool shouldn't be used on guitars. There are so many better synthetic products out there now it's not worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
