Hofner HCTSHSSO 6-String Solid-Body Electric Guitar for Right-Handed Players - Perfect for Rock, Blues & Live Performances

I have the red version of this guitar.This is a good little guitar, especially for what it is, very portable. It has a nice neck and fretboard, but the hardware is a little on the cheap side. The pickup is high output and it's great for rock, but a little rough for the clean stuff. It's pretty bright, especially for a humbucking guitar, but I suspect it's because there's not a whole lot of body there. As such, it takes a little getting used to in order to play it comfortably, but I play it sitting and standing with a rough leather strap and it works just fine. If you can't play this guitar, maybe this isn't your best hobby.Now, right out of the box it was horribly set up. I spent 20 - 30 minutes adjusting the bridge down and adjusting the truss rod. When I was done, it now plays great.The one thing I changed was the pickup, I swapped it for a Seymour Duncan Invader. That gave it a little more 'oomph', but the stock one is adequate for all kinds of higher gain stuff, I'm just an old metalhead.Overall, it's a good travel guitar as well as just a decent guitar, but be prepared to do a full setup. The bag is good and it should travel as well as the Ministar it's replacing.To other reviewers, if you're unhappy with the seller, rating the instrument a "1" is not the way to express that.
