Needs work
First thing this is a 129 dollar guitar. With that being said here’s what a think of it. It looks awesome but I think the top is either a picture cleared over or Formica it just looks fake. What ever it is it’s paper thin. Still looks great. The tuners are horrible they go from barely able to turn to feeling stripped. The strings were about a 1/4 inch off the neck. It was not playable out of the box. After a lot of adjusting I got it to were it could be played and somewhat stay in tune. If you don’t know how to work on guitars I would stay away from this one. I bought the firefly guitar for a 139 dollars and it is awesome. If you look at all the pics posted the tops are identical . The pattern are a exact match. Must be a Formica top

Good for the price
Body is beautiful. Neck is a bit crude but quite playable. Let's face it, it's only $130! Fret ends are not finished well but not snagging my fingers either. The exposed heel end of the neck is bare wood , no finish on that end. The bound body is flawless, but when they say "heavy elm" they mean it! Heavy guitar. But my best, most resonant, guitars are heavy so that's ok with me.

An excellent instrument, just needs a little TLC!
Ok, first off, I'm an experienced musician. I currently own 25 guitars, from Double-necks to Axes designed for Metal Mayhem!!! I've got semi-hollow jazz boxes and custom shop "tonewood" beauties. (BTW, don't buy the tonewood hype! The wood the guitar is made of has the LEAST effect on the tone, 90% of it is your pickups, setup, and fingers. No point in spending thousands extra only to find out it sounds the same as your basswood MIM strat!)Okay, I gave this guitar a 5 star because, for the price range it is in, it SMOKES all the competition. However, it does have its flaws, which I will annotate herein.First: the ad says it's a buckeye burl veneer. If by veneer, they mean it's a photgraph of buckeye burl that they laminated on, then I can agree. Anyone who owns a flame-top or quilted guitar knows what I mean when I say that the wood changes depending on what angle you view it from. This does not. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing. It's very pretty, certainly better than just a plain coat of paint, but if you thought you were getting a piece of thousand dollar buckeye burlwood laminated to this guitar, don't fool yourself. Topwoods have little to nothing to do with the tone of an electric guitar, all they are is eye-candy. If you want to spend that kind of money to have a beautiful instrument, feel free to do so, but don't expect the sound to change, just because it's flamed sapele mahogany quartersawn whatever.Strings were a little high, out of the box, and the traditional tele-style bridge only lowers so far. Intonation was ok, I'm sure I will have to tweak it to get it spot on, but it's close enough for government purposes, lol! The pickups are usable, that's all I will say. Expecting that, I ordered a set of Dragonfire tele humbucker rails for this, and the guitar arrived before the pickups, lol!Tuners are meh... when one gives up the ghost, I'll replace them with some Wilkinson ez-lok tuners, but until then, I'll work with them. Nut is plastic, will get replaced with graphite or LSR nut. Knobs are okay, although I'll have to glue the volume knob onto its core, because it's loose. As I said earlier, an excellent instrument, just needs little touches, here and there. When I'm done with it, it will smoke anything that Fender puts out, for a tenth the price of a Fender!This is my first elm-wood guitar. I didn't expect it to be so heavy, but that's ok, too. I love the traditional slab tele body, no tummy cuts or armrests, etc.True, it's not a Kiesel or a PRS. I haven't bought any tele under $300 that's as good as this, so I'm thrilled with my purchase.

Beautiful Tele
Plays good out of the box 8.25 lbs closer to Fender weight than Squier. Nice body and Fatter Fender style neck... will put on my fave Tele Pickups!

really bad guitar!
I have bought alot of Guitars on Amazon and this is the worse pos that i have ever bought. neck did not fit right in the body big gap along the side also the frets would cut your hands beside frets being no close to level , it"s just money wasted . i would be ashamed to sell something like that.

Very unhappy.
Very unhappy. This item arrived and at first glance looked good. When i went to tune it the tuning machine broke from the screw. I figured i would let that go its a cheap fix so i bought some locking tunners and replaced them. Now today i find that i put my custom guitar away in the gig bag that was included with this guitar a week ago and today i took it out to play and what ever that bag is made of has become stuck to the piant of my custom guitar which i had alot of work put into. I am livid at this time. If there was a way to post a-1 star i would.

Curb Your Enthusiasm!
This is a cheaply made , poor sounding instrument. Not in the same league as a Squier Bullet tele. Sharp frets, horrible pickups, horrible bridge- crappy tuners. I'd stay away from this.
