It never ceases to amaze me about the good quality of mid level instruments these days. Back in my day ,which was the early to late 70's, every guitar that wasn't a Gibson or a Fender, was total junk. The only fault i can find with OP's guitar is knob placement. I couldn't live with where that knob is right under where your hand is on the bridge and picking/ muting 'downstroke' , and I can get somewhat aggressive on the pick 'downswee'p is what i call it for lack of a better term, but actually , thats where it is also on Strats and all my Strats have it there, so I guess its okay, but I've come to expect the normal Gibson knob placement on two humbucker guitars.
