Actual Customer Review on METALIEN guitar from Amazon.com

"I have been a guitar player for over 40 years and wanted a knock around guitar out in the family room where I wouldn't be heart broken if somone kicked and put a dent in it. This came up on sale for $99, so I decided to give it a try.

This guitar far exceeded my expectations. It is an inexpensive guitar package but it isn't a cheap one. My daughter who plays professionally thought it was pretty darn good at any price.

1. Shipping: The original box came covered with this sticky back foam protective covering. Guitar and amp were delivered in perfect condition. This new foam covering seems to protect it well during shipping.
2. Guitar: Far, far exceeded what I was expecting.
   
   • Body: Very attractive all black color, body and pick guard. Very comfortable. The edge of the upper body where you rest your right forearm is gently sloped and shaped so you don't get that traditional bite into your picking arm from the edge of the body. Well thoughtout and shaped body.
   • Frets: Slightly on the high side. No buzzing detected anywhere.
   • Fingerboard/Neck: Inlaid rosewood fingerboard and maple neck. Arrived straight and no bowing. Very good craftsmanship and looks expensive.
   • Pickups: Humbucking and dual single coils up the body. You can't even buy these parts for this price.
   • Controls: Single volume and single tone controls. Worked as expected.
   • Tuners: Pretty good quality.
   • String length: Each string length is adjustable. Surprised to see this feature on a low cost guitar. To get the best tuning, each string on a guitar needs to be a slightly different length because of physics and the fixed fret positions. This gets you as close as you can.
   • Tremolo/whammy bar: This design only lowers the pitch for the tremolo effect. You cannot stretch the strings with this design.
3. Amplifier: Again, way better than expected. Built in and adjustable distortion (high gain/overdrive preamp input) Low, mid, high tone controls. Excellent for beginner package. Considering using this as a pre amp for my larger amps. An external speaker plug would have been a nice addition. Enough power to drive larger speakers.
   
   For those not familar with amplifiers and speakers, you need 10 times the power to double the loudness. So a 10 watt amp is twice as loud as a 1 watt amp through the same good speakers. 10 watts driving twin 12 inch JBL guitar speakers will drive you out of the room.
4. Accessories: Guitar tuner, picks, adjustment tools, bag, strap. Good enough for beginners and as a back up

Overall: 5 stars for a great value. However the only downside is that I WILL be mad if someone puts a dent or scratch on it!"
