This is my very first guitar at age 30. I have been playing an hour a day for the last 6 months, since I bought the guitar, except for vacations. The matte brownish color of it makes it look so gritty and organic. It sounds that way too but I might be biased :)
If anything, the humbucker pickups might be the only thing I might upgrade in the future but they are definitely usable as they are. The tuning holds at least for a couple of weeks for me. Soo, lets say 20-30 hours of playing. I dont have anything to compare it against, but for me it aint a problem. I did not find any problems with the build of it. Cudos to that!
