AZES40 Electric Guitar - Mint Green

For a beginner, it's playable and usable right out of the box. The factory setup is spot on for standard student playability. The tremolo bridge is just fine for a student as it comes out of the box. Remember that a student doesn't yet know their desired settings or even if they want full up/down tremolo or just down or a fully fixed bridge. The default factory tremolo setup is perfect for students, fixed without use or they can begin working with down pitch controls to start. If they want up pitch, they can learn to setup the tremolo accordingly. And they certainly don't know how much upward pitch they want with respect to full or half steps at the 1st and 2nd strings etc. So, for those who are giving the tremolo low marks, they're WRONG. The tremolo bridge on this guitar is great and worth learning how to set up and use properly for the players developed style. For intermediate or advanced payers, you will likely want to apply your preferred setups. And this instrument is adjustable to your preferred setups without having to resort to shaving frets, etc. All standard adjustment methods should get this instrument dialed into your preferences, from string action heights, intonation tweaks (per your desired string guage) and the tremolo action settings per your desired guage string. The truss rod is smooth with respect to adjusting neck relief. Remember, different string guages effect neck relief, action response to frets, intonation and tremolo settings. Too many players never learn how to do setups and then proceed to change string guages and complain about action being bad, etc. It's paramount to learn guitar setups, just as important as learning to play is doing setups. I made the adjustment to the bridge for my preferred setup. Now it's a floating bridge with spring tensions that match the string loads and it resets the tuning pretty well after a couple pull ups on the bar to reset after heavy use on the tremolo. The current action height with the factory strings and my tremolo setup is 1.5mm at the 12th fret low E and 1.2mm at the 12th fret High E. The nut has been left factory set thus far as it seemed just fine. You can see the bridge profile image of mine floating and that there's plenty of screw height to adjust down or up in floating position with the action heights I mentioned above. So be assured you've no reason to swap out this tremolo bridge for another, just set it up so it does what you prefer. I attached photos of the spring setting from the factory setup and after setting them to my preferred settings on the tremolo springs. Now it's doing what I expect out of it. You can see my bridge now floats within the bridge profile photo. Yes, I removed one spring and set the third to center and dropped the tensions considerably with proper string tension to spring tensions, hence the high note strings have lower spring tension. With about one step pitch rise on high E with a pull up flat to body. You may want different pitch bend settings and you can get it. So, the versatility of this guitar is really good with respect to mechanical versatility... Which brings us to the next point. The wide range of pickup selections is really incredible, offering a wide spectrum of sound beyond the old standards. I'm not into hot pickups so I lowered all the pickups flat to the pickguard to soften things up. But there again, VERSATILITY is the key word when describing this guitars attributes across the board. The color is awesome and execrly what I was looking for with the pastel teal (they call mint) with a traditional true mint pickguard. The pickguards truer green conjures out that hint of blue in the pastel teal of the body. Construction detail is really good, flawless. It's a great value for the money. One of the top, if not the top strat syle guitar the money spent out there at this time.

Amazing guitar. I understand fully well this is an entry-intermediate level guitar but the quality, feel, sounds (pickup tones), and look have made this guitar into my case-queen. I play her daily they wipe her down lovingly and gaze into her eyes. This guitar was a serious upgrade from my starcaster by fender "strat" which was sss pickup configuration. The HSS on this super strat sounds like a dream come true. Watch youtube on this guitar if you need to, its worth it and if the slightest thing happens to my queen ill he be selling it off and getting another one so it can be my perfect beauty queen. i think it looks better than any strat by fender, the headstock is my favorite part.

Overall a great guitar, but I'm a beginner and no expert. Heavily researched it between several others in this price range and landed on this one due to the tone. A good middle ground between cheaper $170 dollar ones and $500 dollar ones.

I stated my musical journey again after a year of break, this time bringing in a new electric guitar. It’s very easy to play- the jatoba fret board is beautiful than I thought. I was worried about the jatoba smoothness, but it is really good. Nothing to be concerned about. The strings it came with was a bit rusty towards the pickup side. It only needed a new pack of string, noting else. The 25 inch scale length really helps a lot in making playability easy and the 9 way pickup configuration is just amazing. I would definitely recommend this to beginners and intermediate players. 4 stars because delivery was delayed by 3 days + the packaging could be improved + (minor) rusty string.

Best guitar you can buy for the price range!

This is marketed at beginners but don't let that scare you away. Excellent quality on this strat style guitar with a lot of versatile sounds. The slightly shorter scale length makes it a great little practice guitar. I find myself picking it up instead of my much more expensive instruments. I can't say enough nice things about this guitar. I've modded it with locking tuners and a kill switch and now it's one of my favorite guitars. Absolute beginners may want to opt for the hard tail version because the trem takes a bit of knowledge / setup to work well but it's worth it to me.

Like - feel of the beck, size of body, weight Dislike- messy craftmanship, glue from dcrew holes and glue stains at bridge, dent at headstock

Delivered on time with great packaging. The guitar is beautifully finished and sounds just as nice.

Great guitar, I was confused about the color but orederd it because Amazon had a good return policy. Liked it so much that I ended up keeping it.
