This guitar is solid, and the neck is extremely easy to play. I feel empowered, because I can reach the low E string. As an adult with short fingers and a smaller palm size, I had to do my research. This guitar fit the bill. It looks like an instrument made for adults that children can use. Not the other way around.I left the protective plastic on the face of the instrument, so it looks a bit off in the picture. It's not in the way, so I left it for now. I did remove the protective plastic from the pickups. I purchased this from Cosmo Music, and it arrived with a grantee that it works and was set up. It was ready to play on arrival. They also packaged it securely using a second box filled with bubble wrap. The courier crushed the outer box, but the guitar and it's box were in perfect condition.

I've played the same Fender USA strat since 2011, and I've played it a lot. It's the first thing I would grab if my house was on fire. With that said, I didn't really want anything to replace it, but I wanted something smaller and easier to play in the bedroom and other places that make a smaller form a little more bearable (makes it so much easier to get into those port-o-potties).Anyway, it IS much easier to play in more cramped spaces, BUT, holy crap is this thing fun to play. And it plays GREAT. The feel of it is awesome. The only downsides I have, which aren't enough to care about for me for this guitar, are the neck width (a little small for my hands, but I have big hands), and maybe the dead, bland feel of the wood in this guitar. It's still worth the money, but there's a way that good wood sounds when a guitar vibrates, and this once definitely has zero of that. But that isn't going to affect playability or how it sounds to a degree. And for the money, it's just fine. In fact that's maybe not even fair to gripe about at all with a guitar this cheap.ALL new guitars need a proper setup. It also takes a few hours of playing to get it broken in a little bit. I highly suggest buffing out/polishing the frets (this took the most time, but it made the most difference for me), NEW STRINGS, adjust pickups, adjust truss rod. Besides the fret buffing, bridge pickup being too low, and a little neck relief added, mine was actually in great shape.I also adjusted the bridge saddles a bit to match the radius of the fret board. I am only saying all of the setup stuff because I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this guitar being junk because it plays like crap. It WILL play like crap out of the box. You have to do more than tune it... It's a music instrument. It desperately needs intonation and new strings. Ibanez did this at the factory but that was in China, and it happened many months before it showed up in your hands. It's easy to do, and it will get this guitar up to its potential. I can't believe the build quality of this thing for 150 bucks. I highly recommend it!
